Fate Reignites: My Rampage in a World Where Time Stops

As everyone knows, player death in Dream World does not cause death in the real world; it only resets everything the next time they enter Dream World, appearing at a random spawn point.

But now, those who rank at the top of the Spiritual Beast List are all Spiritual Beasts of Growth Rank Lv20, and most of them have quite impressive combat records.

Each of these players has spent a considerable amount of energy and even money to reach their current status. Being killed means all of that goes down the drain.

Even though there's no real-world death, such a loss is still hard to accept.

If players have conflicts, killing each other might be understandable, but Matsusaka Shigeki is currently killing players he has no connection with, simply because they are strong and ranked high on the leaderboards.

Moreover, he's not just harming players in his own section; he's moved on to adjacent sections to continue his killing spree.

That's why Matsusaka Shigeki's actions have been condemned and scorned by the whole world.

If he is allowed to continue, he may bring disaster to all gaming areas.

Erik is just reckless; although he's shouting about establishing a new order, for now, aside from live-streaming every day to tell the whole world how many challengers he has beaten, and provocatively revealing his new location, he hasn't done anything outrageous.

Just the appearance of Matsusaka Shigeki in an area is enough to put all players on alert.

Of course, Matsusaka Shigeki's unscrupulous killing of players does not come without cost.

His Talent Ability, exposed in the process of his killings, has become known to everyone, as victims have angrily exposed it.

Matsubara Takashi has the ability to temporarily fuse his two Contracted Spiritual Beasts into a new Fusion Spiritual Beast. The Spiritual Beast Species Value of the Fusion Spiritual Beast is the sum of the two Contracted Spiritual Beasts, lasting for five minutes.

Since Matsubara Takashi only kills one player a day and has shown restraint when encountering a second high-ranking player on the same day, it's highly likely that the Talent Effect can be used once per entry into Dream World.

Judging by the name of the gold Talent, it's highly likely to correspond to "Soul Fusion," but it's not entirely certain, nor are his remaining two Talent Effects known.

Yet, this Talent Effect is no less significant than Erik's two exposed Talent Effects.

As soon as Qin Chuan entered the Dream Realm Forum, he quickly saw the corresponding reposted thread.

This time's victim was a player from The Sun Never Sets.

This player's complaint was indeed heartfelt. He claimed that his Talent was a rare red Talent, with an effect that allowed him to instantly teleport to another location.

Hmm... It sounded a bit like the "Return and Banish" Talent that Qin Chuan had drawn but had decided against.

This player was very cautious, choosing to teleport away the moment he encountered Matsubara Takashi.

But even so, the latter still relentlessly found him the next day when his instant teleportation Talent was on cooldown, and killed him on the spot.

During this process, Matsubara Takashi did not reveal any other abilities.

After reading the description, Qin Chuan's frown deepened.

Matsubara Takashi's initial area was Zone 6231, quite far from his own Zone 3675, so he was not likely to encounter him soon.

But he couldn't just sit back and wait.

He had to hurry to improve his strength.

"Qin Chuan, Erik has started live streaming," Xiao Pang turned his head to remind Qin Chuan.

"Let me check." Qin Chuan clicked on the live-streaming room he was following.

In theory, this foreign stream should require bypassing a firewall, but Erik had people actively reach out to live streaming platforms in various countries, opening up broadcasting rights.

For some reason, Yanhuang Country did not block this action, allowing Erik's live stream to be broadcasted within the country.

Whether or not Erik could become the "creator of the new order" he claimed to be was yet to be seen, but he had indeed become the broadcaster with the most viewers worldwide.

Soon, Erik's handsome yet reckless face appeared in the live stream.

"It's ten in the evening in New York, good evening to ordinary players and the chosen ones who have yet to appear," Erik said, his words polite yet not, with a grin, "Today, I have beaten two challengers. They were weak, but courageous."

"My location has shifted a little, but this won't stop you from finding me. I am still waiting for challengers."

"Most importantly, I am waiting for you, the chosen ones who share my vision."

"Now for the Q&A session." Erik glanced in the direction of the chat and then shook his head with a smirk, "Matsusaka Shigeki has killed again?"

"Whether ordinary players kill or not is of little concern to me, but I do not approve of the strong bullying the weak, which cheapens the image of the chosen."

"Matsusaka Shigeki, come find me. I'll show you what real combat is."

"If you're not a gold Talent holder, I won't hesitate to kill you." Erik's azure eyes shone with intense confidence as if he were speaking to the world for the first time, "Your Fusion Spiritual Beast is nothing special to me."

"I will let you know that no Talent surpasses Ascension. Even the other eight gold Talents will follow my lead."

This was the first time Erik had directly responded to matters concerning Matsusaka Shigeki. His firm stance carried an ingrained arrogance that instantly sent the chat into a frenzy.

After responding to a few trivial questions, Erik ended the stream.

The few minutes of live streaming, like a stone dropped into water, were bound to stir up new ripples.

"These gold Talent players are crazier than one another," Xiao Pang couldn't help but show his teeth, "But then again, if I had a gold Talent, I'd be even crazier than them."

Qin Chuan gave Xiao Pang a weird look and exited the chat-infested live stream.

As a gold Talent player, he naturally paid attention to every move of other gold Talent players. As for having plans, he did not.

The two revealed gold Talent players were a fair distance from his section, Zone 3675; the flames of war were not near him yet, and the strength of Sun Needle was not in combat.

He would first quietly grow stronger.

The school bell rang, signaling the end of the large break. Qin Chuan suppressed his thoughts, opened his textbook, and endeavored to be a salted fish sinking into the sea of knowledge.

Soon, it was time for the evening Extraordinary Practical Combat Class.

After two rounds of Basic Boxing Skill, Ji Huai looked at everyone and slowly spoke.

"Tomorrow is the second actual combat test. You have half an hour to decide whether to register."

"This test is different from the last one; it's no longer limited to Second Middle School. You'll be joining students from other schools in Changxing City for a combined test."

"The test location, Qingwang Mountain."

Upon this declaration, the students erupted into a buzz.

Qingwang Mountain.

Before the outbreak of Demon Beasts, it was a scenic spot in Changxing City.

But now, Qingwang Mountain had been completely overtaken by Demon Beasts.
