Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Adelaide, Southern Australian city. Space-time racks appeared. Large numbers of mutant kangaroos attacked the city. More than 400 people died!”

“A giant snake monster appears in Hokkaido, Japan. It looked similar to the Orochi in Japanese mythology!”

“Locust plague in New Orleans, United States. The largest locust was around 30 centimeters long. It has caused at least $100 million in economic damage and hundreds of casualties!”

“In the catacombs of the South African region, extinct mammoths were shockingly discovered. There was a Level 10 wild Boss. They are extremely dangerous!!!”

“Space-time cracks appeared in the English Channel. Unknown sea monsters devoured seven ships. There are no survivors!”

…

After opening social media.

Disasters were everywhere all over the world.

According to incomplete statistics, after ten hours of the world’s gamification, at least 27 space-time cracks had appeared on Earth. People referred to these cracks as catacombs.

Everyone was still immersed in the joy of having their attributes increased when the news came upon them like a bucket of cold water.

It had only been an hour, and the accumulated death toll around various parts of the world had exceeded 10,000!

And this… was just the first day of the gamified world.

The terrifying number of deaths stunned everyone.

This was the first time the netizens had truly realized this.

The so-called ‘gamified world’ was completely different from what everyone had imagined.

This was not a game at all.

It was a disaster!

During the day, articles like the “Upgrade Strategy Guide” were published online. It was more accurate to call them survival guides now.

Humans could only survive by leveling up.

However, this was easier said than done, especially for normal civilians.

On social media, one of the most shocking things was a netizen’s question: “How would the future of mankind be like?”

This question was like a dark cloud that hung over everyone’s heads.

On the internet, there were many rumors about the end of the world. It was said that the end of the world did not happenin 2012, but it happened in 2040 instead.

Everything that was happening now was naturally a form of revenge on humans or a punishment by God….

In short, the internet was filled with pessimism and despair when disaster struck.

At this moment.

A video suddenly shot to the top of both the trending leaderboards of YouTube and TikTok like a dark house.

“Mysterious expert shrouded in holy light spotted. It is suspected to be the arrival of our savior!”

In just a few minutes, the number of views had reached an astonishing amount of 800,000!

After clicking on it, the video showed a man standing on the bridge while casting holy light.

The location was the Yangtze River Bridge in Shanghai, China.

In the dark and quiet night, a ray of holy light pierced through the sky, illuminating the entire sky and scattering the thick dark clouds.

The figure of a man was surrounded by the holy light. His body was glowing faintly.

The video was not very clear, and the face of the main character could not be seen clearly.

One could only tell that this mysterious expert seemed to be carrying a woman in his arms.

The holy light dispersed the darkness and also suppressed the giant rat in front of them, giving everyone time to escape.

At this point, the video stopped.

There were already thousands of comments below the video.

“A mysterious hero from China! A true savior!”

“This is indeed a mysterious country from the East. It has five thousand years of history, and it has a deep foundationo. Just how many secrets is this country hiding?”

“WTF! This must be the American superhero, Captain Marvel!”

“You have to believe in the light!!!”

“Did you see that? This is the Giant of Light. We have confirmed that Ultraman from Japan really exists!”

“This skill is called the Holy Light Spell. It was invented by us in Korea. This Chinese man used one of the skills from Korea.”

“What’s wrong with the Korean up there? How dare you say that you invented the skill in the game?”

“This is a powerhouse from China. I can hear his voice in the video. He told the others to run as he would hold the monster back!”

“…”

This video caused an uproar on the internet.

There was a seemingly ordinary wine house in Tokyo, Japan. If someone pressed on the mechanism on the wall, they would be able to enter the password and open the secret door. There was a high-tech research facility filled with advanced scientific equipment inside the room.

This place belonged to the four great guilds, the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.

The Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets was a semi-official organization that was jointly established by various intelligence organizations.

This included the gathering of top-secret organizations such as the British MI6, the Russian KGB, the US Central Intelligence Agency, the China National Security Agency, and the Japanese Cabinet Intelligence Agency.

They owned the world’s most powerful information network.

It was said that they were able to gather all the information about anyone within ten seconds.

Therefore, prior to the video’s release online.

The Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets had already found Chen Feng’s name.

Soon enough, they retrieved all of Chen Feng’s files.

Chen Feng, 21 years old. He was a web novelist that lived in Shanghai. His parents had passed away and he had a 17-year-old sister named Chen Yu. It was suspected that he had awakened an S-rank talent called [Light Element Affinity].

At the Tokyo Research Institute of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets

“Sakurai Longzi, head to Shanghai, China immediately to look for Chen Feng and establish a friendly relationship with him. It’s best if you can get him to join the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.

“I’ve already called the National Security Bureau.”

After hearing that, a young girl with a ponytail nodded. She looked cute and innocent like a girl next door.

Her name was Sakurai Longzi and she came from a traditional Japanese witch family, the Sakurais.

Sakurai Longzi’s initial awakening talent was the SS-rank talent of [Succubus Temptation].

Her powerful talent allowed her to immediately gain an important position in the organization.

SS-rank talent [Succubus Temptation]: Talent exclusive to females. The owner will become sexy, charming, and flirtatious. The opposite sex will naturally find them attractive. They can even control their thoughts.

After awakening this talent, the actions of the originally naive and lively Japanese witch were filled with endless temptation.

She had a pure appreance, but she exuded temptation and desire. It could be said that she was the embodiment of pure desire.

However, her heart was not like that.

Due to the family rule of the Sakurais, witches had to remain virgins before they got married. Therefore, Sakurai Longzi had never come into contact with the opposite sex. She had never even left Tokyo City, so she knew nothing about the relationship between men and women.

At that moment, Sakurai Longzi was filled with curiosity after receiving this mission from the higher-ups. This was the first time in her life that she would be leavingTokyo. Furthermore, she was heading to a foreign and mysterious country like China.

On the way out of the research institute, Sakurai Longzi mumbled while taking cheerful steps, “Chen Feng… Chen Feng…What kind of man would he be?”
