[Reborn in a VR Game] [Dual Talents] [Unlimited Growth] [Damage-Reflection Build]
To pay for his mother's medical treatment, Lu Chuan spent two years farming gold for a guild, until exhaustion finally felled him in the emergency room.
When he opened his eyes again, he was back on the launch day of Heaven's Gate.
In this life, he refused to sign the gold-farming contract that had trapped him. Instead, he used two years of gaming experience to claim hidden rewards before anyone else.
He drew an S-rank talent from the start: [Spiked Armor]. Attacks deal additional magic damage equal to 10% of his own armor.
It was the same talent he'd drawn in his first life. It gave a battered shield warrior a way to fight back, but Heaven's Gate used a dual-talent system.
When danger struck in a mine, he awakened a second S-rank talent: [Tempered Through a Hundred Trials]. Each time he took an attack and lost health, his armor and magic resistance permanently increased.
Other players lost health and money on potions while grinding monsters.
He grew his defenses, getting stronger with every fight.
Eventually, the guild's elite surrounded him, only to find his health bar hadn't budged while they kept dropping one after another.
Lu Chuan raised his shield.
"Don't stop. You're this close to breaking through my defense."
