The Game Descends! College Entrance Exams? Become the Savior!

[A satisfying game-leveling story + a fantasy-inspired game world + an ensemble cast]

[Hopelessly competitive, calm and clever, with maxed-out leadership, carrying the whole team: a battle-mage heroine]

[Not a lone wolf. Team ensemble, with dungeon instances that require a party to clear]

At age nine, Lin Yi didn't get a guardian egg. At eleven, no acceptance letter from Hogwarts arrived. At sixteen, she didn't find a Death Note.

At seventeen years and eleven months, Lin Yi, an ordinary high school senior, stopped fantasizing and threw herself into preparing for the college entrance exam.

Then, on her eighteenth birthday, amid cheers from her childhood friends, Lin Yi closed her eyes and made a wish: May the world be at peace, may Mom stay healthy and have success at work, and may my college entrance exam go smoothly tomorrow.

Lin Yi opened her eyes.

Mysterious black fog blanketed Blue Star. The apocalypse had arrived, a game had descended, and her mother was missing.

Lin Yi: "..."

Lin Yi slowly typed a question mark.

Lin Yi, shocked: "So I'm a super bad-luck charm?! My wishes come true in reverse?!"

"Anyone know how to rewind time? I want to take back my wish."

[The gods have heard your wish~]

[Welcome to the divine game, "The Order of Magic"~]

[The first player to clear this game will get one chance to make a wish to the gods]

[All players, do your best to clear the game and save Blue Star~]

Lin Yi sighed. "Okay, college entrance exams are on hold. I'll save the world first."

Before the game descended, Lin Yi thought she was just an ordinary high school student.

Except she was a little too competitive.

She'd held first place in her grade for years, taken first in every competition, and set the school record for the girls' 800-meter race. No one could budge her from the top spot.

Then "The Order of Magic" arrived on Blue Star.

Terrifying, eerie black fog shrouded the world. There were wandering skeletons, undead trapped in tiny places by their obsessions, and skeletal flowers blooming in blood-soaked lands... Countless monsters roamed the fog.

The sacred, radiant Tower of Order became a safe zone where players could survive, connected to a fantastical otherworld of gods, swords, and magic.

All the players groped their way through the seemingly endless night of black fog, struggling forward in a mysterious and dangerous otherworld.

Until the name of player "111" rang out across the world time and again.

World channel announcement:

[Player "111" has successfully advanced! Current rank on the player level leaderboard: First!]

[The guild led by player "111" has topped the guild leaderboard and become the number one guild!]

[Player "111" currently ranks first on the combat power leaderboard and has earned the title "Number One Player"]

Lin Yi: That feels great.

Her next goal was to become the first player to clear "The Order of Magic"!
