Online Game: Blade of Denial

Jiang Linchuan was once the strongest assassin in Starfall Era, known as “Night Owl.”

After leading his team to claim the first kill, his guild falsely accused him of stealing a divine artifact and kicked him out on the spot.

As he angrily deleted his character, the game world suddenly froze. A garbled dialogue box forcibly popped up:

“Can you feel pain? Want to find out why?”

A sharp pain struck the back of his neck. Trembling, he clicked “Confirm.”

The next second, a mysterious letter appeared in his game pod:

“Congratulations on becoming a beta tester for ‘Real Game’: death in the game means real death.”

He had just created a new character when the System chimed:

“Warning! Abnormal data stream detected. ‘Paradox Blade’ equipped.”

The dagger’s stats contained only one line:

“Can cut through the boundary between reality and illusion.”
