Rebirth of the God Hunter Legend

Chapter 1 "The Chosen One"

W City is a city of towering skyscrapers, with countless holographic advertising projections scattered throughout its streets and alleys, their overlapping forms showcasing an undeniable prosperity.
In the city center, a building covered in holographic projections stands tall among numerous skyscrapers. In particular, the huge golden crown logo makes almost every passerby stop and look up, because this building represents none other than the Chonghuang Club, the nation's top gaming club.

From its initial foray into the MOBA competitive online game "League of Legends" in 2019, to the word-of-mouth success of its VRFPS competitive online game "Star Mark" in 2023, to the dazzling debut of its first holographic simulation MMORPG "Sanctuary" in 2030, it has continuously refreshed the public's perception of it over the past thirty years, becoming one of the top giants in China and truly a legend in the history of e-sports online games.

In 2060, the virtual reality game "Divine Revelation," which had undergone countless iterations based on "Sacred Realm," was released. Upon its release, it completely ignited the era. According to media reports, on the day of its open beta, nearly 80% of the global player base flocked to "Divine Revelation," and in the following year, it crushed all others with a 16% growth rate, becoming the most popular online game in history! This marked the most glorious peak in the history of online games!
It was this game, "Divine Revelation," that truly propelled Chonghuang from the domestic market into the world stage, and within ten years, it shed the suffix of "one of the top domestic companies" and ascended the throne that belonged only to one person!

However, while everyone believed that this honor was due to the hard work and struggle of the Chonghuang Club, only the club's top executives knew that this honor belonged more to the Data Strategy Department, which was always on the front line of the game but had never been named in the history of achievements.

Inside the club, in the office of the strategy department head, Ling Chuan interlaced his fingers as he watched the live broadcast projected by the holographic image in front of him. On the screen, an elven girl wearing platinum leather armor was gracefully dodging colorful magical attacks with a longbow in hand.

Opposite her stood a burly, blond man with a gloomy face and furrowed brows. The enormous spellbook he held released a series of massive spell arrays, seemingly attempting to restrict the elven girl's movements with powerful area-of-effect skills. Unfortunately, the elven girl's movements were breathtakingly agile from beginning to end, as if meticulously calculated from the start. Every step she took was precisely outside the range of the area-of-effect spells, neither too much nor too little.

The blond giant spat inwardly, then suddenly noticed that the other man's movement paused.

"flaw!"

With a sharp look in his golden eyes, the burly man glanced at the icy barrier that was about to cool down, and a look of eager joy appeared in his eyes! Little did he know that just as he was about to unleash his fatal control, a simple and unadorned arrow rang out and pierced the outside of his Holy Spirit Shield.

"Boom!"

The magic shield vanished instantly, the blond giant's eyes narrowed, and he reflexively took a step back. A flash of white light appeared around him, and the surrounding space distorted—a sign of spatial warp! However, just as his figure was about to be completely covered by the white light, an arrow radiating seven-colored light struck him precisely between the eyebrows, freezing his body, which was about to disappear into the distorted space, in place.

"Stun Arrow!"

The next second, the girl in the image was instantly close, a faint smile appearing on her beautiful face. "Teacher's first rule: When you see the opponent's weakness, that's when your behavior is most innocent. In order to catch my mistake, you didn't even care about the resilience of the Holy Spirit Shield. You lost."

As soon as she finished speaking, her smooth, long leg rose high, and in a side spin, she kicked the blond giant hard in the chin with a gust of wind.

"-15080"

One of the Elf Archer's few close-range skills, Shadow Kick.

With a single, devastating blow, the blond giant was launched high into the air, his critical strike dealing crimson damage.

"ended."

Ling Chuan loosened his interlaced fingers, took a sip of slightly hot coffee, and in that instant, countless radiant arrows shot out from the projection like a storm. Immediately afterward, the golden word "Victory" rose high and finally transformed into a crown, landing precisely on the elf girl's head, echoing the golden crown team emblem in front of her ID.

"It's over!! Congratulations to Team Chonghuang for winning the overall championship of the 10th Global Finals Individual Tournament! She once again used her gorgeous skills and superb operation to cut down the challengers who coveted her throne! To date, she has won four consecutive championships! Congratulations to Dream Wind Chime, congratulations to Team Chonghuang!"

"Oh!!!"

After turning off the live stream projector and listening to the cheers erupting from almost every household outside the window, Ling Chuan picked up the gold helmet from the table and lay down on the office chair.

"Log in to the game."

"Iris scan successful, identity verification achieved."

"Brainwave connection error, reconnect?"

"Yes."

"Connection error, do you want to reconnect?"

"Yes."

"Connection error..."

"Error." "Error."

……

"Brainwave connection error, reconnect?"

"Yes!"

"Brainwave connection successful. [Eternal Regret], welcome to the Divine Revelation Continent."

Standing on the familiar sunset plain, Ling Chuan took a deep breath and calmly said, "One hundred and sixty-three times..."

He swept his hand across the screen, intending to bring up the character interface, but as soon as he raised his arm, it returned to its natural hanging position in an instant, then he raised it again. After repeating this rapidly five times, the character interface finally appeared.

"Ah……"

Looking at the dim white level, Ling Chuan smiled bitterly. Ten years of divine enlightenment, he was among the first players to enter the game, but now the top players have already completed their third reincarnation, while he is still stuck at the initial zero-reincarnation level.

"brush!"

A flash of white light, and a rat-like monster clad in steel armor spawned beside him.

【Steel Armored Rat】(Gold-level Monster)

Rating: 55
Attack: 710-930
Defense: 1100
Qi and blood: 20000
Skills: [Spinning Charge] [Defense]

As expected, within the range of its aggro, the Steel Armored Rat locked onto Ling Chuan, transforming into a whirlwind and rapidly spinning as it crashed into him.

Ling Chuan's awareness is widely recognized. Upon sensing the monster's respawn, he immediately took a step to the side and, anticipating the Steel Armored Rat's charge trajectory, unleashed the skill [Backstab]. The Steel Armored Rat's spinning charge is a non-targeting skill; it's fast but can be dodged. According to Ling Chuan's calculations, the point where he stepped forward was just enough to reach the critical point for the [Backstab] attack at the same time as he dodged. Furthermore, because he had anticipated and locked the backstab attack on the Steel Armored Rat's head, if this strike hit, it would not only stun the Steel Armored Rat but also deal 150% critical damage.

Unfortunately, the calculations were perfect, and the judgment was correct. The mistake was that just as his figure reached the landing point, the merciless lag pulled him back to his original position.

"Oh!"

"-42"

"-51"

Not only did he fail to dodge the impact, but the backstab also locked onto his rear due to the delay, completing the classic reverse backstab maneuver. The Steel Armored Rat immediately followed up with another bite, and two unbroken attacks jumped out from above Ling Chuan's head. Although they weren't high, the pain was still intense.

Ling Chuan seemed to be used to it. After the reverse backstab, he immediately turned around and used [Fierce Strike]. However, although the command had already been issued, the skill action only landed on the Steel Armor Rat two seconds later, dealing 1500 damage.

Despite being an absolute and complete annihilation, the battle still lasted for one minute and twenty seconds.

Clutching a few silver coins from the Steel-Armored Rat, Ling Chuan looked helplessly at the azure sky, his eyes filled with resentment and desolation.

He is the undisputed theoretical god of the Chonghuang Club, excelling in tasks such as gathering clues, understanding class characteristics, commanding dungeon strategies, and analyzing tactics and tactics. Even the current four-time champion of the solo competition in the Divine Revelation Professional League, [Dream Wind Chime], is a student personally trained by him.

He should have been able to use his talent to stand on the continent of Divine Revelation, sweating and enjoying himself, but because of an illness and a congenital defect, even leveling up by fighting monsters became a nightmare.

FNC syndrome, a congenital condition with a global incidence rate as low as one in ten million, causes abnormal brainwaves in sufferers, resulting in a lack of complete synchronization between their brainwaves and neural devices in deep simulation modes. In simpler terms, they are "high-ping warriors." In open environments with few other characters, they can perform some normal activities, but any slightly complex operation will cause irregular lag, delays, and even glitches. In severe cases, even logging into the virtual world can be affected. Coincidentally, he was one of those one in ten million "chosen ones."

To the readers of "Extreme Spirit," I hope that the light will eventually come, and that this book will accompany you while you await the return of Extreme Spirit.
