In 2035, technology is highly advanced, but no one expected that the real transformation would arrive in such a magical way.
"Holy crap, what the hell is this?"
Lin Yi rubbed his eyes, looking at the huge light screen floating above the city, on which lines of eerie text scrolled: "Game 'Infinite' loading... 99%... 100%... Welcome to the real game world!"
Before he could even figure out what was going on, piercing sirens blared throughout the city, followed by an official announcement with unquestionable authority that resounded throughout the streets and alleys:
"Attention all citizens! The 'Infinite' game has merged with reality! All eligible citizens must complete their job change within one month, or they will lose their eligibility to live! I repeat..."
Eligibility to survive?
This is fast-forwarding straight to the apocalypse scenario?
Lin Yi mentally complained, but his years of gaming experience told him that panicking was useless in this situation.
He was an ordinary college student. If there was anything different about him, it was that his parents had mysteriously disappeared five years ago, and the police still had no clue.
The arrival of this game might be an opportunity, a chance to find them...
"bite!"
A flash of light appeared, and a semi-transparent interface appeared before Lin Yi, displaying his personal information:
Name: Lin Yi
* Age: 20
* Level: 0 (Not yet promoted)
At the bottom of the screen, a countdown timer is rapidly ticking away, reminding him that he must go to the starting village as soon as possible to change his class.
"Looks like we're all in the same boat." Lin Yi smiled wryly, looked at the bewildered crowd around him, took a deep breath, and ran towards the nearest beginner village.
The starting village was packed with people.
Everyone crowded together, anxiously waiting for the job change ceremony to begin.
The air was thick with tension, excitement, and a faint sense of fear.
After all, this concerns their future fate.
Suddenly, a beam of light descended from the sky, and a figure slowly appeared before everyone.
The person wore a long silver robe of indistinct material, with a blurred face, and was surrounded by chilling energy fluctuations.
"I am Xuanmingzi, the guide of the game 'Infinite'." His voice seemed to resound directly in people's minds, carrying an irresistible majesty. "The job change ceremony shall now begin."
Xuanmingzi waved his hand, and countless points of light fell from the sky, entering the bodies of everyone.
"Concentrate your mind, sense the energy within you, and choose the direction you wish to develop in," Xuanmingzi's voice rang out again. "Remember, your choice will determine your future."
Lin Yi closed his eyes, trying to feel the changes within his body.
A warm current flowed through his limbs and bones, and he seemed to see countless paths: the warrior's bravery, the mage's mystery, the archer's agility...
But none of these are what he wants.
"What I want is to find my parents!" Lin Yi shouted in his heart.
Just then, the warm current within his body suddenly converged into a single point, bursting forth with dazzling light!
A crisp system notification sounded throughout the entire newbie village:
"Congratulations to player Lin Yi for triggering the unique hidden condition and awakening the unique mythical-level hidden class—[Time and Space Overlord]!"
Silence, deathly silence.
Everyone was stunned, as if time had frozen at that moment.
Immediately following was an overwhelming uproar!
"Holy crap! A mythical-level class? Did I hear that right?"
"A hidden class? This is practically cheating!"
"The master of time and space? That sounds incredibly awesome!"
Countless gazes, filled with shock, envy, jealousy, and even blatant malice, were all focused on Lin Yi.
Lin Yi was also stunned. A mythical-level profession? And the only one at that? What kind of incredible luck is this?
He could feel an unprecedented power awakening within him.
He could clearly perceive the subtle changes in the surrounding space and time, as if the time and space of the entire world were under his control.
A sense of confidence, a feeling of exhilaration as if one could control everything, arises spontaneously.
"Hmph, be envious, be jealous, I'm the chosen one!" Lin Yi thought to himself with secret pleasure, but his face remained calm as he tried to keep his composure.
After all, the nail that sticks out gets hammered down; keeping quiet and making a fortune is the best approach.
Xuanmingzi also glanced at Lin Yi with slight surprise.
“Very good, [Time and Space Dominator]…” His voice remained calm, devoid of any emotion. “I hope you will not disappoint me.”
Just as Lin Yi was immersed in the joy of awakening... just as Lin Yi was immersed in the joy of awakening, Xuan Mingzi's voice suddenly rang in his mind, carrying a hint of inscrutable meaning: "Your awakening, while bringing changes to the world, will also bring many dangers. Make good use of your power... to survive."
Lin Yi was jolted, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head, instantly sobering him up considerably.
What the heck?
I just got the script for a legendary story, and you're already trying to spoil it and mess with me?
He looked up abruptly, trying to find Xuan Mingzi, but found that he had vanished without a trace, as if he had never been there at all.
All that remained were the envious, jealous, and hateful gazes of the surrounding players, like thorns in their backs.
"Variables? Danger?" Lin Yi muttered to himself, his brows furrowed.
This old man always leaves things unsaid, creating suspense and making people guess. He really whets their appetite.
While Lin Yi was still pondering Xuan Mingzi's warning...
