The world's first full-dive online game, Epoch, has launched, and on opening day Lin Yi binds himself to the [Infinite Enhancement Backpack]. The rules are incredibly simple: enhancements have a 100 percent success rate! The rules are also brutally unforgiving: every time an item gains a star, the gold cost increases tenfold!
Mages are widely considered the weakest class in the early game: they're fragile, low on mana, and one spell is enough to leave them completely drained. From the start, Lin Yi chooses the weakest class, the mage. As a beginner's reward, he boosts the one-star passive [Mana Recovery] straight to five stars: [Arcane Perpetual Motion Machine (5★)].
He becomes a walking artillery platform, but also the poorest person in the world.
“Ten billion to enhance it from nine stars to ten?!” Lin Yi stares at the [Nine-Star Dragon-Slaying Sword] in his hands, glowing with a mythical aura, his eyes turning red.
While other players are congratulating themselves over a blue weapon, Lin Yi has already enhanced his junk white gear to nine stars and unlocked the golden special skill [Doomsday Judgment].
This is the story of the most overpowered cheater, who somehow ends up living like the most pitiful “gold prospector.” To get his next ten billion, he sets his sights on the dragon's treasury... “Don't stand in the way of my fortune. When I lose it, I'll enhance even myself!”
No need to look anymore, it's a battle force
