Due to spending too much time on the talent promotion, Su Mubai no longer had time to check the new skills he had learned.
However, it wouldn't be too late to check them after entering the game.
With just a glance at his slightly altered attribute panel, Su Mubai was ready to enter the game.
His attributes hadn't increased, but his MP cap had risen from 200 to 600.
His Spell Power had also increased to 30 points.
Moreover, the free attribute points gained with each level-up had increased from 5 to 15 points.
It seemed that the attribute bonuses and growth of the Lord of Death were three times that of a standard Necromancer!
Without considering equipment attributes, it was nine times that of a standard class!
Such strength was truly worthy of the title of an exclusive hidden class.
"Liu Ruyan, Zhao Xu."
Thinking of that bitch couple, a cold gleam flashed in the depths of Su Mubai's eyes.
The Game of Myriad Worlds could be deadly!
The Newbie Village still had a protection mechanism, where death only resulted in a level drop.
Once outside the Newbie Village, each death would not only drop a level but also cost 10% of one's lifespan, with a minimum of ten years!
In other words, if a player's remaining lifespan was less than ten years, they would be unable to resurrect after death.
Of course, there were treasures in the Game of Myriad Worlds that could extend lifespan, but players would have to explore and discover them on their own.
The three of them weren't far apart before crossing over, and according to the information provided by the Game of Myriad Worlds, they might not be in the same Newbie Village, but they would definitely be in the same city once they left the village.
Su Mubai was eager to find the two of them and make them feel the despair he once experienced.
As the countdown ended, a flash of white light appeared in the Starry Hall, and Su Mubai found himself in the Newbie Village.

[Welcome, Blue Star players, to the Game of Myriad Worlds.]
[This is the Empire of the Divine Dragon's Newbie Village No. 9527. Wishing you a safe journey ahead.]
The system's voice echoed above the Newbie Village, and flashes of white light appeared as players materialized around Su Mubai.
"Woo woo woo~ How do you play this game? Is there a handsome guy who can teach me?"
"FUCK, why was I forcibly pulled in? Let me go back!"
"Heh, forget about going back to Blue Star. You'd better think about how to survive here."
"Hahaha, it's all data now. The fantasies from reading novels have finally come true. We're all on the same starting line. This time, I will definitely rise!"
"The same starting line? Buddy, you might be overthinking it. Check out the advanced talents."
"I awakened an S-level talent at the start. This wave is definitely taking off!"
"Whoa, big shot, still taking groupies for that golden leg?"
"Bro, take me with you. I'm a D-rank Priest with plenty of healing."
"B-level Mage looking for a group!"
...
The surroundings were filled with the chatter of players.
The sudden appearance of the Game of Myriad Worlds had forcibly pulled everyone into this data-driven world.
Some were anxious, some were confused, some were excited, and some were in despair...
For those who had nothing to lose and no attachments, the Game of Myriad Worlds was clearly an opportunity to change their lives.
But regardless, there was no going back to Blue Star.
Players began to leave Descendant Square, using their past gaming experience to seek out NPCs in the Newbie Village to take on quests.
However, things weren't as easy as they imagined.
In the Myriad Worlds, every NPC was real and wouldn't mechanically repeat tasks like in the games of Blue Star.
Su Mubai didn't follow the crowd. He quietly observed for a moment before turning to walk out of the village.
Time was of the essence, and with only a year of lifespan, he had to quickly level up and find treasures to extend his life.
Instead of wasting time in the Newbie Village looking for low-level quests, it was more straightforward to go out and kill monsters.
By the time Su Mubai reached the village entrance, more than ten minutes had passed.
During this time, many players had already bypassed him and engaged with the wild monsters outside the village.
This was because his Agility attribute was only one point, making his movement speed rather pitiful.
In the Game of Myriad Worlds, the same attributes would have different effects on different classes.
For physical classes, adding Agility would increase movement speed, attack speed, critical rate, and other attributes.
For classes like Archers and Rogues, it could also slightly increase attack power.
For magic classes, besides increasing movement speed, it could slightly enhance casting speed and other effects.
It's worth noting that there were no dodge or hit attributes here.
The Game of Myriad Worlds was a data-driven real world, and hitting enemies or dodging attacks relied solely on one's reflexes.
Of course, increasing Agility would also enhance reflexes to some extent.
Therefore, in Su Mubai's view, Agility was essential for any class.
Fortunately, the free attribute points gained from leveling up as the Lord of Death were high enough that Su Mubai could catch up with normal players after reaching level one.
As he walked, Su Mubai reviewed all his skills.
[Summon Skeleton]: (F) Level 1, Active Skill.
Summons a weak skeleton to fight for you.
Casting time: 3 seconds, Cooldown: 30 seconds, MP cost: 20 points.
(The skeleton's panel is enhanced by the player's Spirit attribute.)
***
[Burning]: (F) Level 1, Active Skill.
Releases Soul Fire to burn the target, dealing a total of 150% Spell Power as magic damage over five seconds.
Attack range: 30 meters, Casting time: 2 seconds, Cooldown: 5 seconds, MP cost: 10 points.
These were the basic F-level skills of a Necromancer.
The skeleton summoned by a Necromancer could exist indefinitely as long as it wasn't killed.
When not needed, it could be recalled into the Summon Space at any time.
The level one Summon Space had only one slot, meaning a Necromancer could only summon one skeleton at a time.
However, Su Mubai wasn't an ordinary Necromancer; he was the exclusive hidden class—Lord of Death!
[Life Link]: (A) Level 1, 0/2, Active Skill.
You can link with a summoned undead creature, sharing HP with it.
Instant cast, Cooldown: 10 seconds.
This skill meant Su Mubai no longer had to worry about his HP cap.
As long as the summoned undead creature was present, he didn't have to fear sudden death.
[Summon Amplification]: (S) Passive Skill, No Level.
Reduces casting time of summoning skills by 50%, reduces cooldown by 50%, increases summoned creature attributes by 50%, and increases Summon Space cap by 500%.
The second skill was an S-level skill, a noble percentage enhancement skill.
The stronger the skill, the more powerful it became in the later stages.
In addition, Su Mubai had obtained an exclusive item.
[Book of Death]
Class Exclusive (White Night)
Off-hand Item
Cannot be dropped, damaged, or traded
Level: 0 (Follows character)
Attributes: Unlocks at level 1
Special Effects: Unlocks at level 10
(This is a book of laws, only you can read it. Once requirements are met, you can learn the exclusive skills of the Lord of Death from it.)
The Book of Death currently had no attributes, but from its description, it was clear that this equipment was extraordinary.
However, Su Mubai's current level was too low to open it.
When his gaze fell on the Cataclysm trait after his class promotion, Su Mubai couldn't help but gasp, his pupils widening.
No wonder it was the only Forbidden Level talent—it was terrifying beyond belief!
