What does it feel like to experience a game world twice after it goes global?
In her previous life, Pei Xi was one of the founders of a guild, a top-tier player, the only player worldwide with multiple classes, and the only one to break out of the game's limits and create her own spatial equipment.
In the end, her partners schemed against her, poisoned her, forced her to step down, took her top-tier weapon, and even stabbed her in the chest.
When she opened her eyes again, she was back on the game's first day.
To her surprise, her top-tier handmade weapon, the Nine Illusions Blade, and her custom space had come back with her.
Having been given a second life, why bother struggling to build a guild? She just wanted to enjoy her freedom alone.
With a divine weapon in hand, she began cutting her way through everything in her path.
First to clear an ordinary dungeon, first to kill an outdoor boss, top of the monster-kill rankings, top of the combat-power rankings, top of the weapon rankings, top of the class rankings...
Pei Xi wiped her blade. She knew the routine too well to resist charging ahead.
As factions rose, they all began courting Pei Xi.
A guild executive: "Our guild's top priority this year is to recruit the number-one player."
Guild members: "Boss, pick another wish, like world peace!"
A club manager: "Where's the number-one big shot playing today? I'll go bring them supplies."
Club members: "The other clubs say we need to draw lots!"
An alliance leader scolded his teammates: "Why are you taking so long to kill a boss? If the number-one player were here..."
An alliance member muttered: "Ever since the boss teamed up with that big shot once, he's been so full of himself. We need to let the boss take a hit from the boss to bring him back down to earth."
A lackey offered up some intel: "Big shot, here's the latest information on today's bosses. Which one should we kill first?"
Pei Xi looked at her friends list and locked onto a target. "We're not killing monsters today. Let's go take down a player."
The lackey was stunned. "Big shot, you've never gone after another player of your own accord!"
If the number-one big shot started slaughtering players, the whole server would be shaken.
Pei Xi smiled. "You have to fatten the pig before you slaughter it!"
Her former partner dropped a pile of equipment and vanished before her eyes. Pei Xi brushed imaginary dust off herself. If she was playing again, she might as well try something different!
