Awoke As A God After Auto Battling For 1000000 Years

[Ding~ Welcome to —Another World: First World-Source of Nightmares.

Based on your login location, your designated safe zone is [Doomsday Town]. Combat is prohibited in this area.]

[Would you like to continue using the ID [Shura]?]

Shura—a name that had not been touched for a hundred years, since the death of the hero who had fallen defending the Dragon Nation. For all citizens, using this ID was akin to blasphemy against a deity.

"This time, I'll surpass even Shura."

Zhang Yue rejected the ID "Shura" and instead confirmed his new ID: "Zero."

To transcend even the number one, you must be Zero.

[Ding~ ID confirmed! Your First World mission has been released. Please check the task interface—]

[You've received [Newbie Gift Pack] x1]

With the system prompts complete, Zhang Yue waved his hand to open the task interface.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Note: Completing the above tasks will unlock the First World boss dungeon. Defeat the boss to enter the Second World.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

As the system messages faded, streaks of white light descended from the sky. More and more newly minted adventurers entered this strange world, curiosity evident in their eyes as they observed their surroundings.

"So, this is the Otherworld? It feels just like reality! Amazing!"

"Didn't they say the Otherworld is crawling with monsters? Where are they?"

"This is a safe zone, bro! The monsters are outside!"

"I'm a 29-star basic warrior, looking to form a party to hunt monsters!"

"Any healers? We've got the tank and damage, just need a healer!"

"I'm an elite class, Fire Mage, with 40-star stats. Any girls need a carry?"

A blonde-haired youth, claiming to be an elite Fire Mage, quickly attracted the attention of several fresh adventurers.

"Hey, big brother, can you carry me? I'm a healer, I can support you."

"Do you have a girlfriend? Can I team up with you to hunt monsters?"

In this world, strength dictates everything. Power defines status.

Zhang Yue, who possessed a Mythical class and the gains from a million years of auto-farming, had no interest in teaming up with these fresh recruits.

In his previous life, it had only taken him ten years to reach the 70th World.

Naturally, he was intimately familiar with the standard layout of the early worlds.

Zhang Yue opened his inventory and took out the system-gifted Newbie Pack. Upon opening it, he received 100 copper coins.(in the Other World: 1 gold = 100 silver = 10,000 copper)

He also received five Tier 1 Health Potions.

[Health Potion(Tier-1): Restores 40 HP upon use and regenerates 2 HP per second for 30 seconds; healing is interrupted when attacked, with a 60-second cooldown.]

With his resources ready, Zhang Yue made his way to the equipment shop in Doomsday Town.

The system-run equipment shop only stocked basic, rough-grade items and 1-star quality gear.

Rough-grade equipment provided minimal stat bonuses; for example, a weapon would add just 1 attack point, and armor would increase defense by 1 point. But it was cheap—just 10 copper coins for a piece.

Most new players used the 100 copper coins from the system to buy a full set of rough-grade gear.

But Zhang Yue spent all 100 copper coins on just a 1-star staff.

Seeing this, the other adventurers in the shop tried to persuade him:

"Bro, it's not worth it to buy a 1-star weapon. You could have bought a full set of rough gear! A slight boost in attack power isn't worth the trade-off!"

"Thanks for the advice," Zhang Yue replied politely and left the shop with the staff.

For regular new players, such a purchase would indeed be unwise. But for Zhang Yue, it was a different story.

In the Other World, only 1-star or higher quality equipment can be refined by consuming special energy.

Zhang Yue gazed at the seemingly ordinary staff in his hand.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

[Flame Staff] (Lv.0):

Quality: 1-star

Rarity: White (Refinable)

Class Restriction: Mage, Beastmaster

Magic Attack Power: +5

Description: An ordinary staff that offers a slight increase in damage...

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Zhang Yue tapped the "refine" option next to the attributes.

[Ding~ Refining this time will consume 1 point of energy, with a 10% chance to upgrade to green rarity. Would you like to refine? (The higher the attributes, the more energy consumed, and the lower the success rate.)]

Without hesitation, Zhang Yue chose the auto-refine option.

[Ding~ Refining completed in 132 attempts, consuming 985 energy points. Congratulations, you've obtained the golden rarity attribute: [Flame · Pioneer Staff]]

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

[Flame · Pioneer Staff] (Lv.0):

Quality: 1-star

Rarity: Gold

Class Restriction: Mage, Beastmaster

Magic Attack Power: +26

Additional Attribute: +2 Intelligence

Passive Ability: Burn (Each attack inflicts a burn status on the enemy for 3 seconds, dealing 20 HP damage per second.)

Description: Born from flames, this staff will turn all your enemies to ash...

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Whoosh! Flames engulfed the once ordinary staff in his hand.

After upgrading to gold rarity, the weapon's special effects were now fully activated!

The 985 points of energy consumed during refining would take most new players days to accumulate. That's because energy could only be gathered passively after clearing the 50th World. Before that, players could only gain small amounts of energy through monster kills or completing quests.

But for Zhang Yue, who possessed a staggering 22.1 quadrillion energy points, this was a mere drop in the ocean!

Equipping the staff, Zhang Yue opened his status window.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

The starting attributes of new players typically fluctuate between 0 and 10, depending on the quality of their class.

As a Mythical class, Zhang Yue's starting stats were maxed out at 10 across all categories!

While other new players were still boasting single-digit attack power, Zhang Yue already had a staggering 56 attack points as he stepped out of Doomsday Town!

———

Outside the town, the sky was overcast and the ground was dark and desolate, with the atmosphere saturated with a sense of death and decay.

Enormous mutant rats, each the size of a fully grown sow, scurried among the ruins of the city.

Their appearance was grotesque, but they were only the lowest-level monsters in the First World.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

[Mutant Giant Rat] (Physical-type · Common Monster):

Level: 1

Physical Attack Power: 7

Physical Defense: 1

Magic Defense: 1

Health: 80

Description: A rat mutated due to infection. Beware of their sharp teeth…

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

At the town gate, several adventurers had already gathered.

Despite seeing plenty of monsters from the Other World in books, on TV, or through the livestreams of high-level players, nothing compared to facing them in person. For the new players, these terrifying monsters filled them with fear.

Some of the girls, trembling with weak legs, were even reduced to tears.

"T-That's such a terrifying monster! I don't want to go outside! I want to go home! Wahhh…"

At this point, a few braver young men armed with basic weapons purchased from the equipment shop rushed forward to confront a Mutant Giant Rat!

The warriors and knights engaged the rat in close combat, while an archer from the rear drew his bow and fired.

Slash! Slash! Whoosh!

The three of them coordinated their attacks on the rat, dealing single-digit damage between 5 and 6 points, which kept popping up over the rat's head.

The rat, enraged, fought back, recklessly charging at the warriors and knights.

But as a mere Level 1 monster, its damage output was limited and posed no real threat to the novice adventurers.

In just over ten seconds, the rat let out a pained howl and collapsed under the relentless assault of the three players!

"Wow! That was awesome!" cheered a few female players from behind.

Seeing someone take the lead gave the other adventurers more confidence, and they soon joined in, rushing to kill the Mutant Giant Rats.

Zhang Yue watched these players fighting the rats and shook his head.

Level 1 monsters didn't interest him.

He was about to bypass the rat zone and head for an area with higher-level monsters when, suddenly, a Mutant Giant Rat locked its gaze on Zhang Yue and charged at him!

Since the creature had come to him of its own accord, Zhang Yue wasn't about to turn it away.

Roar! Roar!

The giant rat roared as it charged at Zhang Yue.

As the distance between them closed and the rat entered within 30 yards, Zhang Yue raised his staff.

Boom!

A red fireball shot out from his staff and landed directly on the Mutant Giant Rat.

The next second, a crimson number floated above the rat's head—

(-55)

The burn effect of the [Flame · Pioneer Staff] was triggered.

Every second, the rat lost 20 HP due to the burning status.

Before it could even reach Zhang Yue, the rat succumbed to the burning effect and collapsed mid-charge, its charred corpse lying lifeless on the ground.

[Ding~ You have slain a Level 1 Mutant Giant Rat, gained 2 EXP! Energy Points +10,000 (with 10,000x Energy Buff applied)]
