I took a deep breath—what a stunning scene! Skyler truly deserves its reputation as a classic surpassing Soul Grief; just a single promotional video is enough to make my blood boil with excitement!

My soul drifted, and I arrived at the Hall of Guidance. A little sprite fluttered gracefully, and a pleasant synthesized female system voice sounded in my ear—

“Ding~!”

System prompt: Dear esteemed user, after verification, you are a member of the CGL Hall of Fame in the China region. Would you like to continue using your ID: Ethan?

……

Options appeared before me. After a brief thought, I chose “No,” and then entered a new ID: Broken Spear!

What a poetic and picturesque ID—not only does it look cool, but I can also use it to attract girls in the future. This ID has both Baggio’s melancholy and Batistuta’s boldness—truly one of a kind!

In the previous game, I was selected as one of the 27 legendary figures in the China region and was exceptionally awarded this very rare gaming helmet.

I entered the game two years ago, dominated for a year, and became a hotshot in the gaming world. But fate is unpredictable—a car accident caused a neurological reflex disorder in my brain, resulting in a three-second delay. This meant every action I took would only be executed three seconds after my brain issued the command.

How terrifying is such a delay?

The most anticipated rising star in China fell just like that. A genius became a cripple in an instant. I became the biggest joke in the CGL Hall of Fame in China, abandoned by everyone, and plunged into the lowest point of my life.

At that time, only one woman reached out to me—my boss, a strong and charismatic beautiful woman. Unfortunately, I let her down. The guild suffered defeat after defeat, and in the end, we lost completely at the hands of Flickering Shadows, going from a guild of over three thousand members to just five survivors.

Our opponent was truly formidable—

Flickering Shadows, known as the “Martial God” of the gaming world, and the number one player in China.

……

I smiled slightly. In the previous game, I truly was Broken Spear. Making it into the CGL Hall of Fame meant I was a winner, but the subsequent defeats made me a loser. So, Grace Bennett gave me a brand new definition—the “winner-loser”!

Now, using the ID Broken Spear to remind myself is like hanging a rope from the beam or pricking myself to stay alert!

Next, it was time to confirm race and class—this was the part I looked forward to most. Hmm, I’ll pick a handsome and dashing human knight: high defense and strong burst power, which should help compensate for my innate three-second delay.

Skyler is a fully sensory virtual game. Players can choose from ten classes: Warrior, Magic Knight, Mage, Archer, Ranger, Strategist, Beastmaster, Priest, Bard, and Assassin—each with its own unique features. Naturally, I prefer melee classes; a real man should ride a horse and wield a blade, dominating the battlefield!

A series of character models appeared before me: warriors in armor, magic knights riding warhorses, mages wielding staffs, archers with longbows, as well as strategists, priests, and other classes.

The system was simultaneously conducting a physical scan of the player. There was a slight pain on my forehead, like a mosquito bite—my blood had already been sampled and analyzed—

“Ding~!”

System prompt: According to the scan, your heart rate is 30% lower than the normal human standard!

System prompt: According to the scan, your body temperature is 70% lower than the normal standard!

System prompt: According to the scan, your blood activity concentration is 40% lower than the normal standard!

System prompt: According to the scan, your brainwave response exceeds the normal human standard by 120%!

System prompt: According to the scan, your vital signs are 50% lower than the normal human standard!

……

After a series of chimes, I was utterly shocked. What is this? Could it be that my VIP-level gaming helmet is a knockoff?

But just then, another system chime sounded—

“Ding~!”

System prompt: Because your physical attributes meet the requirements, you can obtain a hidden class—Death Knight. Do you accept?

……

I stood there stunned for a full two minutes, then suddenly burst out laughing!

“Hahaha, what luck! I actually got a hidden class before even entering the game. Death Knight—a warrior class with a special race. Only a fool would refuse!”

So, I chose to accept without hesitation.

With a ding, the game character was generated: a Death Knight clad in black armor and draped in a blood-red cloak appeared on the screen, looking extremely cold and imposing!

I was quite satisfied and couldn’t help but smile: “Not bad at all. Time to enter the game!”

It was 11:57 PM, less than three minutes before Skyler officially launched. My heart was pounding, blood surging with excitement, and scenes from the past flashed through my mind. Hmph, everything I lost—I will take back with my own hands!

Time ticked by as I waited to enter the game in the Hall of Guidance. At this very moment, countless players around the world must be brimming with ambition, right?

Finally, when the clock struck twelve, the game opened!

“Ding~!”

System prompt: Broken Spear, do you want to enter the game now?

Yes!
