Volume One: Falling into the Dust

Prologue

Morning. Warm sunlight bathes Silvermoon City, making the only level-one main city on the Chinese server of the game "Conquest" even lazier. It’s mid-morning, and players are logging in one after another—men and women, all discussing bosses and equipment, as if everyone is unusually busy.

At the center of the city, a majestic hall echoes with melodious chimes.

The Sanctuary—the login location for all players who have achieved godhood—is also the most sacred place among players. Every player feels proud to be a member of the Sanctuary, but those who can set foot inside are few and far between. Across the entire Chinese server, only seven players have earned the honor of the Sanctuary and successfully become gods!

"Rustle..."

Fallen leaves roll slowly across the steps of the Sanctuary in the gentle breeze. Not far away, a young man in imposing armor walks over. Beneath his handsome appearance lies a trace of loneliness, and his dark eyes reveal an unfathomable sense of loss. Faint flames swirl around his armor, and his wide cloak sways in the wind. The ID floating above his head is well-known throughout the Conquest server—

Olivia Carter: LV-255 Titled Martial God

Affiliation: Silvermoon City

Guild: Heroes' Association

Position: Guild Leader

World Ranking: 1

...

"Still as peaceful as ever, huh?"

Olivia Carter looks up at the World Tree in the center of the Sanctuary. The sacred tree he brought back from the Northern Territory is now lush and flourishing. It was this very honor that made him a Martial God, standing at the pinnacle of the world of "Conquest" alongside the Mage God Henry Foster.

"It's time to end this."

He silently ponders, then steps out of the Sanctuary.

Outside the Sanctuary, players come and go. Olivia Carter walks alone under the city wall.

As he walks, suddenly—"pop"—someone pats him on the shoulder, then warmly puts an arm around him. He doesn't even need to look to know who it is. In all of Silvermoon City, only one person dares to put their arm around the Martial God's shoulder—Emily Thompson, Olivia Carter's childhood best friend, who later went abroad but has always been with him in the game, now the current vice guild leader.

"Aaron Thompson?"

Olivia Carter turns to look at him and smiles, "How do you always appear out of nowhere?"

Emily Thompson chuckles, "Hey Aaron Brooks, I saw you looking all gloomy from afar. What's up, did your dad die? Last time I saw Uncle, he looked pretty healthy to me!"

Emily Thompson has always been this lively since childhood, as if he never has a care in the world. Olivia Carter rather envies him for that.

"I've made up my mind. It's time to leave," Olivia Carter says calmly.

"Huh?"

Emily Thompson's eyes show shock: "Aaron Brooks, you're not joking, right? You just got the Martial God title, and now you're leaving? Or... is Uncle putting too much pressure on you?"

Olivia Carter smiles helplessly, "Yeah, my dad gave me an ultimatum. I have to quit the game and help with the family business. I promised him I'd stand at the top of this game within two years, and now I've done it. It's time to keep my word and do what I should. Honestly... I haven't played enough yet!"

Emily Thompson bursts out laughing, as if nothing in the world could be funnier. He pats Olivia Carter on the shoulder and says, "The mighty Martial God Olivia Carter, the second son of Longxin Group's chairman Ethan Carter, worth billions, and yet you still have it rough. I guess being rich doesn't mean everything is perfect. So... have you really decided?"

"Yeah."

Olivia Carter nods firmly, a look of determination in his clear eyes. "It's my responsibility. I can't run away anymore. Come with me—I'm going to put all my equipment up for sale. From now on, the future of the Heroes' Association is in your hands alone. I'll make sure everyone works together to support you."

"You're selling the Flame God Set and the Seven Absolute Sword too?"

"Yeah, all at once. Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep!"

"Haha, fine, fine. Let's go. You can make a lot of money clearing your account before you leave. Your equipment is one of a kind on the whole server. By the way, are you really not going to play the soon-to-be-released Destiny? I heard Henry Foster, William Smith, Ethan Gray, Abraham Lincoln—all those guys are joining. You're really not interested?"

"Nope."

...

They arrive at the Silvermoon City Auction House, the largest auction house on the server. Olivia Carter takes off his equipment piece by piece and lists them in the auction's bidding list—

Flame God Set, super artifact five-piece set, starting bid: 22 million RMB

Seven Absolute Sword, super artifact, starting bid: 10 million RMB

Godslayer Chain, super artifact accessory, starting bid: 7 million RMB

Lingxi Ring, five-star artifact, starting bid: 4 million RMB
