Woke Up to Find the Game I Made Came True

“You surprised me. Perhaps I should commend you as a natural predator.”

When Ye Bai returned to the Black Street Assassin Guild, the faction NPC’s voice couldn’t help but reveal his astonishment.

【Your faction rank has been upgraded to 'Black Robe Assassin'】

The Assassin Guild faction also has member ranks. To upgrade from Grey Robe Assassin to Black Robe Assassin, one needs to hunt down a hundred targets and return to the Assassin Guild, where the upgrade will happen automatically.

To prevent the Macul Group from not recognizing 'BOSS', Ye Bai had deliberately refrained from coming to upgrade.

At the same time, becoming a Black Robe Assassin unlocks the faction store.

“Come, take a look and see if there’s anything you need here…”

As the voice resonated in the darkness, a faction reputation panel appeared before Ye Bai.

Character: Bai Ye

Faction Rank: Black Robe Assassin

Faction Reputation: 38

Reputation Level: Neutral

Honor Points: 376

Below these attributes, various specialty items were displayed, which comprised the Assassin Guild’s faction store.

Items sold here cannot be purchased elsewhere and must be exchanged using Honor Points, which correspond to the number of targets hunted after becoming an assassin.

At this moment, the items in the back rows of the faction store were grayed out, locked due to Ye Bai’s insufficient rank. Only the items in the first row were available for purchase.

Ye Bai immediately spent 150 Honor Points to buy the most expensive item in the first row—the skill **Shadow Step**.

A flash of light enveloped Ye Bai, and she felt herself covered in darkness. However, instead of stifling, this darkness brought a sense of protection, making her feel more agile in the dark.

【You have learned 'Shadow Step'】

Passive Effect: Increase movement speed by 50% in dark or shadow environments.

Unique Active: Perform a quick teleport through two shadows, with a maximum range of 50 meters. The teleport process is immune to damage, incurs no cost, and has a cooldown time of 10 minutes.

The high price and long cooldown time reflect the skill's value. The active effect’s immunity to damage during teleportation is a crucial lifesaving ability, while the passive speed boost makes Ye Bai, who is already much faster than other players, even more agile.

Ye Bai then spent 100 and 50 Honor Points to purchase **Assassin’s Sleeves** and **Berserk Potion**.

Assassin's Sleeves do not occupy the handheld equipment slot and can only be used while wearing assassin robes. The effect is to deal 10 damage to the target and apply a **Hunt Mark**. Within a 300-meter range, the marked target’s location can be sensed.

The Berserk Potion, when used, provides a 50% lifesteal effect on all hunted targets for 5 minutes.

Ye Bai did not believe that the Macul Group, who had suffered a silent defeat at her hands, would let it go. Moreover, she had no idea how many people they had in Tute City. As a group that had a stronghold on an entire planet, their armed forces must be formidable. She needed to maximize her in-game strength to ensure that when her ship arrived at Makur Star, the group's armed forces would be significantly weakened, or else no amount of chaos she could cause would matter.@@novelbin@@

…

"Didn't I tell you to wait for me to return? 376 employees, including 45 level-four members. What were you thinking?"

During a holographic meeting, upon learning that Pence’s team had been mysteriously wiped out by BOSS, Hude interrogated everyone with a livid face.

All participants in the operation could not look up. Pence was pale, not just because of mental damage but also because the operation had cost the group a significant portion of its forces in the game. Not only did he fail to impress the boss, but he was lucky if he wasn’t held accountable.

"And knowing that wild BOSSes take their loot with them, why didn’t you prepare for it?"

—Who could have imagined that over two hundred people would be instantly wiped out on first contact? This BOSS was as cunning as if it had been prepared for them!

Hude’s accusations were purely for scapegoating. After discovering the assassin was a hidden wild BOSS, everyone’s first reaction was to kill it quickly to prevent it from disappearing. And renting warehouses in the city’s outer district was expensive and insecure. Apart from a few designated 'warehouse accounts,' Macul Group’s resources were carried by top executives.

As for equipment, of course, the best gear was brought along for a BOSS fight.

Pence’s mouth twitched, but he ultimately held back from rebutting.

The loss of personnel levels could be overlooked, as levels could be regained in the game and reality offered medical treatments. But the biggest loss was in resources. The equipment on him and the elite members, as well as the recent gathered resources, were all lost, which was an undeniable loss.

"From now on, everything will be under my arrangement. Any objections?" Hude looked at Pence.

Pence could only reluctantly agree.

In the next two in-game days, players from the Makur Group noticeably decreased in number. Even when they logged in, they mostly stayed within the city.

Even so, if any player ventured into the wild, they would immediately be pursued and hunted by the assassin.

The Makur Group tested the presence of the wild BOSS daily using two members’ experience.

They also discovered an important piece of information—the BOSS had upgraded from Grey Robe to Black Robe!

It wasn’t until Hude led a team of 45 elite members back from nearby Baihua Town that the Makur Group finally revealed their fangs.

Hude, involved in the group’s most lucrative underground biological smuggling business, had prudence ingrained into his bones. Under his leadership, the team was thoroughly prepared. While confident they could take down the BOSS, they only brought weapons, equipment, and basic supplies, leaving everything else behind.

Naturally, after their previous disastrous wipeout, apart from the elite members who returned with Hude, everyone else, including Pence, the group director, had reverted to their initial in-game state.

The Macul Group members once again encountered the BOSS in the wild,surrounding it with a human wave tactic. This time’s leader was no longer Pence but Hude.

Using a large number of ordinary members to interfere with the boss at close range, the elite members who returned with Hude wielded their weapons.

**Standard Crossbow**

Level: Fine

Attack: 10-12

Penetration: 5

Attack Speed: 2.0

Range: 50 (effective) -200 (maximum)

Trajectory Deviation: 4

Quiver: 3/3

Effect: ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​‍Rapid Fire

Description: One of the standard gear for town guards, capable of firing all arrows in the quiver at once.

This was Hude’s mission harvest from this trip to Baihua Town, made possible only through the group’s significant early-stage investments.

Pence, seeing the equipment, showed visible shifts in emotion. Previously, they had tried using ranged weapons against the BOSS with ordinary bows, but their slow attack speed and low accuracy made it difficult to hit. Even if they did, the weak attack power couldn’t penetrate its defense.

The employees of the Makur Group naturally obtained common close-combat talents, lacking Ye Bai’s **Power Shot** skill.

Now, with the Standard Crossbow’s inclusion, the improvement in accuracy, attack speed, and damage made a significant difference, transforming its effectiveness entirely.

“Fire!”

At Hude’s command, crossbows aligned, targeting the BOSS, firing all their bolts in a single burst, completing a three-shot burst. The disciplined frontline Makur employees simultaneously threw themselves into battle without hesitation, sacrificing their health to hold the BOSS in place.

The core members were trained from a young age by the Macul Group, thoroughly brainwashed into unwavering loyalty. They would gladly sell out their allies in the game, or even fight to the death in reality.

Only by hitting the BOSS with crossbow bolts, even if their defenses were exceptionally high, could they achieve substantial damage. Thanks to the penetration properties of the bolts and their sheer number, they could pile up over ten thousand points of damage, ultimately overwhelming the enemy.

In response, the BOSS summoned a familiar stick-like object once again.

Another one of those skills!

Hude, who had been prepared for this, released the crossbow bolts and immediately led his elite members in a hasty retreat. Regardless of the skill's range, they were already standing nearly a hundred meters away, and simply needed to keep retreating.

But this time, as the flash of light appeared and the frontline melee fighters braced for death, the familiar white glow didn’t materialize.

Instead, an unusual light barrier surrounded the hooded assassin, and all the crossbow bolts fired in unison hit that barrier.

"Clang clang clang..."

‘-205’, ‘-215’, ‘-204’

The crisp sounds echoed from the barrier, and though the hooded assassin remained unscathed, all the elite members who had fired the bolts, including Hude, suddenly vanished in bursts of white light.

Only Pence, who had retreated with Hude and hadn’t participated, remained unharmed.

The melee fighters, who had already prepared for death, similarly emerged unscathed.

The reason was simple: Ye Bai had switched to a different scroll—

【Advanced Remote Counter】

Scroll Quality: Rare

Effect: During the duration, all incoming ranged attacks are reflected back, with an additional 100% spell damage.

Duration: 8 seconds

Spell Range: Targeted

This spell is specifically designed by mages to counter ranged skills like archery, with a similar counterpart in mage duels known as 【Spell Counter】.

However, the melee fighters didn’t have much time to relax. The next moment, Ye Bai pulled out the familiar 【Banshee's Wail】, once again clearing the field.

‘How does this BOSS have no skill cooldown!’

Pence, grabbing a few good items dropped by Hude, fled while exclaiming in his mind.

Under the second wave of Banshee's Wail, only Pence, standing far away, managed to escape by the skin of his teeth.

Yet before Pence had run twenty meters, he felt as if his knee had been shot—a ‘-10’ damage popped up on him.

Pence didn’t pay much attention and continued to flee...

In the end, he died to a psychic ray, never figuring out how the BOSS had tracked him down.

...

Half a day later, Mega, the Macul Group's third board member who rarely involved himself in affairs, looked at the other two pale-faced board members across from him, along with the equally haggard department heads.

He rubbed his bald head, feeling a headache coming on:

“You’re telling me our group’s key assets—twice in One World—have been wiped out by someone?”

“……”

Around the same time, a spacecraft carrying Macul Group's secret biological contraband was captured by the gravitational pull of a planet and descended into an internal port of the group.
