Woke Up to Find the Game I Made Came True

In the swampland, ceaseless spells and attacks flew back and forth as players eager to hunt monsters clashed with the vengeful spirit of Leto, all seeing this as an incredible opportunity to gain rewards from a wild BOSS.

The players in Merlo City were no ordinary crowd.

This area belonged to the 'Blue Planet Server', where the composition of first-time registrants was no longer just a handful of space travelers.

After Bai Ye caused a sensation across the Galactic Alliance, the Blue Planet also attracted a lot of attention.

After all, no one could be sure whether Bai Ye's decryption was a coincidence or related to the Blue Planet itself. Moreover, the development of Bai Ye's territory as the first lord would naturally attract the attention of cosmic civilizations. Under such circumstances, with the correct registration methods made public, major civilizations in the Galactic Alliance began to deploy personnel to register on the Blue Planet.

Even though the true focus of their power remained in their own civilization's star region, the players sent to the Blue Planet for registration were far from ordinary, each with some background in espionage.

Encountering what seemed like a chance at a wild BOSS, these espionage agents from various civilizations who had been keeping a low profile naturally stopped pretending.

Many team members who had been working together recently suddenly discovered that their seemingly ordinary teammates had all been hiding their true abilities. In a single team of five, every person had been acting, casually slacking off while fighting monsters!

However, since everyone was busy dealing with the BOSS at the moment, they simply pretended nothing had happened, maintaining a delicate and slightly awkward mutual understanding...

Ye Bai retreated to a spot slightly farther from the battle but not far enough to be considered out of combat, beginning to spectate. As she watched, she couldn't help but show appreciation.

The interstellar players were all talents, their combat skills impressive—she really, really liked them!

If it were ordinary players around level 10 trying to face a level 20 class instructor, especially a hidden class instructor, they would likely be annihilated in a single encounter. But now, even though their damage output was like scratching an itch, the fight was still going back and forth, with every player showing meticulous attention to detail.

On her own, Ye Bai could have completed the class advancement, but why waste the speed of having a group of helpers?

Was Ye Bai's earlier contrived performance intentional or accidental? Of course, it was intentional.

Upon discovering that the location of the class advancement trial pointed to the wilderness where monster spawns occurred, she conceived this idea and successfully duped a group of players eager for an outdoor boss.

The hidden class advancement trial appearing in the wilderness was both a cost and a benefit. The cost was that this opportunity was one-time only. The benefit was that it allowed other players to participate.

However, this participation might not be beneficial if other players were aware of the situation. The trial-taker couldn't exit combat and had to complete the final blow, or the class advancement would still fail.

If someone intentionally stole the final hit, it would ruin the entire class advancement task.

Unfortunately, the level 10 players didn't have enough knowledge of the game to recognize this as a hidden class instructor and treated it as an ordinary wild BOSS, each giving their all to maximize damage output.

...

The vengeful spirit of Leto was a rare magical class before level 20. Unlike other elemental mages who primarily focused on one or two magic schools, the spells he cast during the fight were never repeated.

Frost Nova, Fire Blast, Earth Spike, Lightning Chain... He was practically a walking spell encyclopedia. Moreover, as the fight went on, the spells grew increasingly advanced, transitioning from common basic spells to Impact, Photonic, Gravitational, and even Psionic magic.

It kept the battlefield's players on their toes, even those skilled in real-world combat, as some spells were lock-on abilities that couldn't be dodged.

Zhou Ya thought of that player he'd crossed paths with earlier and felt something was off, but the intense battle didn't allow him to dwell on it. Especially since this BOSS was incredibly strong; he had to focus and join the fight alongside the other players.

Ye Bai, armed with a bow, occasionally fired a few cold arrows from the sidelines.

A grueling battle dragged on until the early hours of the morning. Leto's vengeful spirit's health bar finally dropped below 80%, revealing the exact HP: 7,140/36,000.

As a level 20 trial target, his HP wasn't as high as the Mighty Horned Beast Ye Bai had faced in a dungeon, but his damage output and diverse attack methods far surpassed it. Amidst the relentless stream of spells, the players in the swamp were all on the brink of death.

"Ah!"

A player who was rushing to deal damage was extremely unlucky and fell victim to a Psionic spell. The lock-on damage instantly cleared his already critically low HP, and he disappeared in a flash of white light.

From this, it was clear that most players were at their limit. Out of around thirty players present, four or five considered the consequences of death and chose to leave, while the majority decided to stay.

The saying "fortune favors the bold" came to mind, and coupled with the sunk cost fallacy, each player subconsciously believed they would be the lucky one.

Various props and potions that were usually hoarded were now used without reservation.

Under these conditions, Leto's vengeful spirit's HP gradually decreased, moving towards the critical final 1,000 HP mark.

"Rumble!"

Leto's vengeful spirit unleashed his ultimate move, a powerful Magic Flood that covered a 50-meter radius and couldn't be avoided. The overwhelming magical torrent surged, combined with tides rising, dealing massive spell critical damage to all players present.

After the raging waves subsided, more white lights disappeared, and only nine players remained alive, including Ye Bai.

They exchanged glances, each with a subtle expression—

The final showdown had arrived.

The final kill would grant an additional 20% experience bonus, a reward that no one who had endured this far was willing to give up. Not to mention, the killer would also be closest to the BOSS's loot.

Here, every player had a personal level of 12 or higher, each equipped with at least one fine-quality or better piece of equipment or item. None of them were ordinary.

Oh... Except for Ye Bai, who had been standing there firing occasional cold arrows with a bow.

Other players had noticed Ye Bai during the fight. The espionage agents stationed on the Blue Planet were experts in observation. From her movements and actions throughout the battle, her technique was average, certainly not showcasing extraordinary martial arts, with low damage output and managing to stay alive mainly because she was good at dodging.

If one only focused on dodging without considering output, every player here was confident they could do it easily.@@novelbin@@

Therefore, most saw Ye Bai as someone reluctant to leave and hoping to snipe the final hit. However, since their vigilance was directed at each other, they didn't worry much about Ye Bai stirring up trouble during the climax, as the final hit was always a test of their combat skills.

Only Zhou Ya, recalling that subtle smile, felt uneasy but couldn't pinpoint what was off, leaving him on edge.

The vengeful spirit's HP continued to drop—1,000, 800, 500... 200, 156!

With HP reaching this critical level, everyone simultaneously shifted focus, no longer targeting Leto's vengeful spirit wholeheartedly. Instead, they unleashed all their talents, whether it was frenzy potions or slowing traps, pulling out every final card. The target, however, was no longer the central Leto，but the neighboring competitor players.

This was the moment to claim the kill!

Just then, Ye Bai, instead of moving forward to engage, took a step back. A light visible only to her flashed, and she had leveled up just moments ago from dodging a BOSS attack. Now, she leveled up again, raising her level from 18 to 19, simultaneously producing a new item in her hand.

"Whoop—"

The legendary item Mighty Horn was blown.

Since her Mana was depleted, Ye Bai's full Stamina was drained in an instant.

Every single player present, including Leto's vengeful spirit, was instantly interrupted, frozen inplace, their actions halted.

【Dragon's Might】!

All players present were stunned, each falling into a state of【Petrification】for 5 to 7 seconds.

Ye Bai had specifically leveled up to level 19 before using the Horn of Wrath, all to gain an extra second of petrification duration.

Following that, Ye Bai executed a backflip roll, leveling up once more. Not only did this restore her stamina to full, but it also brought her level up to the crucial 20th level required for class promotion.

"Roar..."

Leto's spirit stirred, moving despite the lack of a level difference between it and Ye Bai. Being a spiritual entity, the Dragon's Might effect was weakened on it, and it was only forcibly petrified for 2 seconds before moving forward aggressively, albeit slowly, towards Ye Bai with a layer of slow effect applied.

As a powerful Legendary-grade item, the Horn of Wrath had extremely high priority, instantly securing the aggro for Ye Bai. Her backflip roll did not take her far enough to exit combat.

While the players were still immobilized and baffled, Ye Bai pulled out her bow and began a classic charge-up attack on Leto's spirit.

1, 2, 3... 8, 9!

Just as the slowed Leto reached out to unleash a spell towards Ye Bai, the charged arrow was released.

-​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌‍326!

With only a hundred or so health left, Leto's spirit paused, letting out an unwilling roar before disintegrating into brilliant light, merging with Ye Bai's body.

【You have completed the 'Whisperer' class promotion trial】

【You have successfully promoted to 'Whisperer'】

【You have gained the class trait 'Arcane Mastery'】

【You have gained 1 skill point】

There were only system notifications; thankfully, there was no server-wide announcement like the first time she became a Lord. Ye Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

Back when she was building the persona of Bai Ye, she intentionally guided others to think that Bai Ye had already promoted to a class, considering the possibility of a promotion announcement.

In Ye Bai's memory, class promotions were classified as personal achievements, unlike the broader impact of the Lord identity, and thus did not trigger server-wide announcements.

To be extra cautious, however, she had chosen to promote to a hidden class.

Since it was called a hidden class, there was naturally no announcement—one reason was to prevent the player from being unfairly targeted, and the other was Ye Bai's personal concern about the corporate interest in selling hidden class slots.

But it seemed she had worried for nothing. Apparently, only achievements related to Lords and territories triggered server-wide announcements.

Meanwhile, the players who had just emerged from their petrified state turned their heads to witness the inexplicable disappearance of the boss—

Where was the experience? The loot? What about that promised wild boss?!

The answer was... since it was a class promotion trial, successfully promoting was naturally the sole reward.

While everyone was still stunned, Ye Bai decisively turned around and dashed away without hesitation.

Now that she had promoted, she wasn't afraid of fighting these players, but she currently didn't have time to waste.

"Stop right there!"

"Don't run!"

Puzzled but sensing something was amiss, the players, furious, chased after Ye Bai in unison.

Ye Bai had upset the crowd, and the players, swelling with anger, pursued her relentlessly.

No matter how fast they ran, thanks to character speed limitations, even those with speed bonuses from their stat adjustments found they couldn't close the distance with Ye Bai.

After all, she was just a standard-sized character!

The answer to this riddle lay in the equipment Ye Bai was wearing.

【Featherlight Boots】

Grade: Rare

Defense: 20

Resistance: 20

Set Effect - Featherlight (2/3): Increases movement speed by 20%; Grants 2x jump effect; Grants 2x shock absorption effect.

Description: Behold what it means to be as light as a feather.

【Featherlight Hat】

Grade: Rare

Defense: 15

Resistance: 15

Set Effect - Featherlight (2/3): Increases movement speed by 20%; Grants 2x jump effect; Grants 2x shock absorption effect.

Description: Behold what it means to be as light as a feather.

These two pieces of equipment, purchased at a high price from Kazmai, were rare purple-grade items. In terms of stats, they were nothing spectacular, comparable to green-grade equipment. Their value lay in the【Featherlight】effect, which was part of a set. Once the Featherlight Cape was found to complete the trio, all current effects would double.

Zhou Ya, trailing far behind, finally recognized Ye Bai's figure.

She was the player from inside the inner city!

Glancing at Ye Bai's direction, Zhou Ya's heart skipped a beat, an ominous feeling rising...

The chase continued into Melo City, the players doggedly following Ye Bai as she cut through the outer city and neared the entrance to the inner city.

"She can enter the inner city!"

Hearing Zhou Ya's words, the others were shocked. Who was this player that she could access the inner city?

But soon, the inner city gates came into sight.

It wasn't fully dawn yet, and the inner city gates had just started descending, pulled down by chains. Judging by the height, with current character limitations, there was no way anyone could get in.

Ye Bai paused at the gate, waiting.

Seeing this, Zhou Ya's eyes lit up—it wasn't too late!

"Where do you think you're going?"

The other players shared Zhou Ya's sentiment—with the gates descending so slowly, there was plenty of time to stop her.

This was the general understanding among players: as long as they didn't damage NPC property, they wouldn't interfere with player fights... although they didn't quite know the full truth, which was that only outer city NPCs didn't intervene.

Yet, just as they closed to within twenty meters of Ye Bai, ready to intercept her, the inner city gates reached mid-descent.

Ye Bai leaped, her body springing like it had wings, exhibiting jump power far beyond her character's stats, landing squarely on the gate and vaulting past the entrance between the outer and inner cities.

The pursuing players, attempting to follow, were all barred by the guards, left to stare in frustration.

"Click." Ye Bai slid down the gate, landing neatly inside.

Sorry, but this was just her escape route!
