I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

Blue Star, Hua Country, Sky City.

Liu Tai strolled through the streets, feeling cheerful.

Having just shed his status as a working drone, he felt a weight lift off his shoulders, no longer bound to the previous 9-9-6 lifestyle.

With enough savings to relax for a long while, the confident Liu Tai didn't plan on looking for a job right away, opting to rest for a bit first.

As Liu Tai pondered over what to eat, his gaze was accidentally drawn to an advertisement playing on a large screen nearby.

"Join the new version of the undefeatable fleet in Divine Revelation, brothers come and challenge me in the game!"

"So, you play 'Divine Revelation' too!"

"No need to spend any money, just a gaming helmet, and you can experience a 100% virtual reality game from your own home."

"What are you waiting for?"

...

This gaming company is so wealthy, how many advertisements did they launch!

Liu Tai shook his head. He was an adult now, gaming was something he could skip.

...

Not even an hour later, Liu Tai carefully took off the gaming helmet once he was back home and set it on a table next to him.

It must be said, the virtual reality was incredible!

Despite himself, Liu Tai couldn't resist and spent 7777 yuan on a Divine Revelation gaming helmet!

Not for anything else, just to critique the exaggerated promotions, claiming it was 100% realistic?

Yet, just moments after trying the helmet for a little while, Liu Tai was thoroughly impressed!

The game hadn't even started service yet, and Liu Tai entered a hundred square meter area of space where he could experience skills from professions like mage, warrior, and assassin.

He could also switch the environment of this space, towns, deserts, forests, mountains, ice fields, oceans...

The varied exotic landscapes made Liu Tai feel as if he was truly traveling in reality.

This game is really awesome!

Liu Tai hadn't played games in a long time and found his interest rekindled. However, seeing the opening time of the Divine Revelation game, he couldn't help but feel vexed.

It only starts on October 7th, and today is just September 1st!

Why did I have to discover this game so early?

He had to endure more than a month, which was truly agonizing!

Having no other choice, Liu Tai went online and found the player forum for Divine Revelation, hoping to find some game-related intel.

Although he was only in his twenties, life had already smoothed his edges, but at this moment, he felt a surge of excitement and eager anticipation.

It felt like returning to childhood, fighting alongside friends in the arcade.

He clicked into the game forums, and right at the top was a highlighted game announcement.

Liu Tai clicked on it, and a detailed announcement appeared before him.

---------------

...

Seeing dozens of such tips, Liu Tai felt even more interested.

With so many rules, it seems like the game is telling players to disguise themselves well and avoid detection by the natives. It looks like the gaming company really values the player's experience.

Anyway, Liu Tai wasn't a nonsensical person; the role-playing element made the game more appealing to him.

Liu Tai thought about it, used his usual online name "Liu's Titan," and registered a Divine Revelation account, then started browsing the player interaction area.

There were numerous posts from players, new ones popping up with each refresh.

Seventy-nine is too expensive: Damn, this game is incredible, really exaggerated. Do other games even stand a chance now?

Lord of Pride: Three years have passed, and I return with pride!

MT Brothers: Silver Scales Breastplate, blue quality, five gold each!

Universe's Number One Beautiful Girl: Any GGs and MMs want to play together?

Show It Ben: Looking at the announcements from the game company, it seems our Hua Country has its own server this time, making quite the display!

European, Eat My Spear: Damn, it looks like this game has a Luck Value setting too, I don't want to play then!

Ting Yu: Heard that almost all gaming guilds declared this morning that they are fully moving to Divine Revelation. Are they going to organize professional competitions now?

Thousand Gold Easy Come Easy Go: Why the heck! I protest, why can't we have nudity, limiting game freedom! Everyone, join me in protest!

(Co-signed voting portal: ...)

Liu Tai couldn't resist, clicked in, and gave this brave warrior a thumbs-up before happily continuing to browse the forum.

Gradually, posts with high likes got bumped up.

You all saw the announcement from the game forum, right? It seems that the Talent and Profession tendency you choose initially corresponds to the Talents you get randomly, suitable for a particular Profession.

For instance, Talents that increase Intelligence and Mana recovery suit advancing as a Mage; Talents that boost Strength and melee output suit being a warrior.

Currently, the official Talent choices are divided into six categories based on Attributes.

Intelligence, Endurance, Mysterious, Strength, Agility, Charm.

So, I guess each Attribute corresponds to one or more Basic Professions...

Liu Tai browsed for a long while, and before he knew it, the sky outside the window had darkened.

Moving his sore neck a bit, Liu Tai was still somewhat reluctant to stop.

It would be great if I could play the game tomorrow!

Thinking it over, Liu Tai tapped on his keyboard and also posted a message on the forum.
