(Aggrieved Cat Head) "What is the Multiverse Integrated Game Network? My player class is a True Name Mage. It seems that this world doesn't have any other supernatural powers?"

(Pondering Cat Head) "To become a being beyond eternity through the Comprehensive Network, one must collect relics that embody the reverberations of historical memories, thereby unlocking one dungeon after another. The best way to obtain high-level reverberations is to guide the unstoppable development of world civilization."

(Longtu Cat Head) "How can we develop civilization by following these noble insects? I want to control all the troops in the world!"

Chapter 1 Login to the Zongwang, True Name Mage

The town of Shita is located five miles west of the third largest port in the Kening Empire.

This place was once a fishing village, but it developed into a small town with the influx of city workers.

At daybreak, the lighthouse on the cape on the coast went out.

The previous lighthouse keeper died the day before yesterday, and the newcomer Lin Bo took over old Tim's job.

A month ago, Lin Bo, who had traveled through time alone, was picked up by this old man on the beach. After being brought back to the lighthouse, he has been staying there ever since.

After that, he learned Knin from old Tim and began to familiarize himself with the work flow of the lighthouse.

A week ago, Lin Bo was able to operate the lighthouse on his own. Yesterday morning, Old Tim's body was buried, and last night was his first night officially guarding the lighthouse.

He did a great job, and many of the townspeople didn't even notice anything was wrong.

After finishing all the finishing touches, it was already dawn, and Lin Bo, who had been up all night, retired to bed. He locked the doors and windows, washed up quickly, and lay on the damp single bed, listening to the sound of the waves outside the wall.

The life of a lighthouse keeper is solitary and almost like that of a hermit. Only widowers living alone are willing to take on this life. What's worse, the keepers of some remote lighthouses are actually criminals who have been exiled there.

As an undocumented and unconnected illegal immigrant, Lin Bo is essentially impersonating Old Tim's job. If discovered by authorities, the consequences are uncertain.

"Let's keep doing this job first, and then try to find other ways out. The workers and farmers of this era are very miserable, and sailors and seamen also need professional qualities, so I won't consider them. I still have to think of ways to make a living in business, technological patents, and literary creation..."

After a month in this world, Lin Bo still misses the modern life of the 21st century. Although the Kening Empire has entered the second industrial revolution, the living conditions of the people are quite worrying.

Child labor, excessively long working hours, poor working conditions, and wages barely enough to survive have reduced the average life expectancy of the people to no more than fifty years.

Not to mention the heavy taxes and exploitation by the aristocracy, which would empty every pocket of the common people to support the upper class's extravagant and luxurious life.

Lin Bo is powerless to change the people's situation. He is not a politician or an opinion leader. This path, which could lead to a lifetime of anonymity at best and imprisonment or execution at worst, is too difficult and bumpy.

His current idea is only to make money to improve his living environment. This damn lighthouse is like a bloody altar, which will sooner or later make every administrator sick and mentally ill.

……

A few hours later, Limbaugh was awakened by the afternoon sun.

He didn't get enough sleep, and in a drowsy state, he suddenly heard a crisp reminder sound in his ears.

Lin Bo was lying on the creaking bed, now fully awake.

He spent five minutes reading the 99 supplementary articles on the website. He couldn't say that he fully understood the game, but he had a relatively clear understanding of it.

The core mechanism of this limited edition game is the skill proficiency system. You can keep upgrading until you hit a bottleneck.

"Players are encouraged to study hard and acquire as many skills as possible. They can then use the combat power gained from these skills to level up and break through the skill cap, forming a cycle.

There are two main ways to acquire skills. You can activate professional skills by performing actions consistent with your profession. You can learn general skills by consuming general skill books. Professional skills have a higher level cap.

"Important cultivation resources such as experience points, comprehensive network disaster coins, general skill books, and knowledge fragments are mainly obtained by clearing dungeons.

"To obtain a dungeon invitation, you must sacrifice a 'relic with a reverberating history.' This reverberation condenses intense emotions: lost family ties, shattered ideals, and vanished aspirations. The more people place their emotions on a specific symbol, the deeper the remaining obsession, and the higher the reverberation level.

"The online gaming platform encourages players to improve their social status in the real world. The native world is like a player's garden and base. It's worth spending time and effort to manage and build it.

"A high-level real-world identity that facilitates the collection of reverberation relics from around the world, and even promotes the creation of reverberation relics.

"If you only collect low-level reverberations, as your level increases, the benefits of low-level dungeons will gradually decrease.

"Therefore, as personal strength increases, players should strive to advance the progress of civilization in their world. The great tides of history, the rise and fall of civilizations, and their rise and fall, affect the fate of countless people and are most likely to condense high-quality reverberations.

"Only high-level reverberations can unlock high-level dungeons, epic raids, divine wars, dimensional wars, and more, driving players' further growth.

"Legend, becoming a god, and even surpassing the gods, the Zongwang network gives players unlimited possibilities.

"Players of the current version of the Zongwang are destined to become the leaders of civilization... This empire, this planet, and all the living beings on it are no longer my peers, but my future people."

This is what the bland yet formal action suggestions in the appendix to the comprehensive network told him.

No matter how players view this game, whether it is a blessing or a curse, unless they quit or give up, as long as they still want to move forward in the endless conflicts of the multiverse and find the opportunity to transcend eternity, they will do their best to climb up.

No matter what the player's previous identity was, beggar, noble, farmer, blacksmith's son, or a small lighthouse keeper, he must now embark on the road to becoming a king.

Becoming a king is only a small step before becoming a god, and becoming a god is far from the end of the road.

"Huh, I feel so much pressure all of a sudden." He rubbed his forehead. "Let's start with small goals, like...stealing the country."

It’s not that being a lighthouse keeper is a bad life, it’s just that being an emperor would give him a wider range of opportunities.

A person's appetite is determined by his or her appetite. For an undocumented person, simply finding food and clothing and making a name for oneself is a lifelong goal. But for a mage who possesses the truth, it would be a great sacrifice not to think about controlling the world's military.

The current emperor of the Kening Empire, Kevin Evin, was the regent ten years ago, then he proclaimed himself the Duke of Protector of the Country, and finally ascended the throne to become the emperor. He can be regarded as Lin Bo's predecessor on the road to usurping the country.

Now the emperor has only one heir, a lonely princess. I wonder how many ambitious people are eyeing the position of the empress's husband.

The dangerous road of stealing a country has always been crowded with people since ancient times.

Compared with these nobles, warlords, and big capitalists, Lin Bo’s only and biggest advantage lies in the surreal power of the Internet.

He checked his player information.

“My profession is… a True Name Mage?

"This seems to be a type of spellcaster originating from the worldview of Tales from Earthsea, casting spells by speaking magical language, which is different from the spell slot casting in DND and the blue bar mages in various RPGs.

“It does have some similarities to the wizards in Harry Potter, who mainly rely on chanting spells to cast spells.

"The most important knowledge for a True Name Mage is undoubtedly the magical language. As long as one masters the true names of everything and speaks the true names in the magical language, one will have powerful control over that thing.

"Calling down strong winds, dispelling torrential rain, curbing earthquakes, increasing lamb production, healing wounds, creating lifelike illusions, and transforming into birds and beasts—this is just the tip of the iceberg of True Name Mage... This system has an extremely high ceiling and depth.

“The miracles brought about by magic are worshipped by the people and feared by the nobles. They can easily help me seize great worldly power and wealth.

"But, I don't even know a single word of magic language right now. Even a good cook cannot cook without rice.

"If you want to gain professional knowledge, besides the knowledge fragments dropped in dungeons, you can also buy it from other players using disaster coins through the friend trading channel on the Zong Network.

"I must first obtain a dungeon invitation. After clearing the dungeon, everything will be on track."

Limbaugh sat up and decided to search the lighthouse first, especially Old Tim's belongings.

Ever since the previous Night's Watchman passed away due to old age and illness, he hadn't had time to properly sort out Old Tim's assets.

All personal belongings are basically stored in a holly wood box under the bed.

Old Tim had few material desires during his lifetime and had saved up a considerable inheritance. There were almost 10,000 copper coins in the wooden box, as well as a thick stack of loose banknotes, all wrapped in waterproof kraft paper.

In addition, there is a box full of conches, shells and beautiful stones, which is one of the few hobbies of the old night watchman.

Finally, Lin Bo dug out an ugly little wooden sculpture from the pile of shells.

It looks like a cylindrical trash can with limbs and eyes and a mouth painted on the front.

As soon as Lin Bo touched the wood sculpture, a ding-dong sound rang in his ears.
