Chapter 1: Impending Apocalypse
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Wasn’t I fighting the Abyss Dragon? I’ve exhausted all of my strength, my weapons and armor were completely shattered. I should’ve been dead…”
Lin Ye opened his eyes and was staring at the ceiling while he daydreamed.
Previous scenes flashed across his mind.
It seemed the apocalypse was coming and the entire world order would have a drastic change.
The spirit of the Earth awakened, bestowing humans with all kinds of special abilities. Experience points could be earned by slaying beasts and mutants which would make a person more powerful by leveling up. As a result, more jobs were created due to the different abilities humans possessed.
An abundance of treasures also appeared at the same time. Sometimes, amazing item drops could be obtained by slaying these beasts and mutants.
A once peaceful Earth was transformed into a game-centric world and so, all humans were united to repel any threats posed by otherworldly beings.
Lin Ye happened to be one of the collective members who repelled these beasts and mutants.
However, he encountered the extremely powerful Abyss Dragon in one of their beast raids.
The small company Lin Ye had brought with him was completely destroyed. Even though he fought a very bitter fight until the very end, little to nothing could be done to change the outcome of this battle.
As he was just about to perish under the Abyss Dragon’s claws, everything around him suddenly changed.
It transformed into him lying in bed.
His alarm suddenly rang while he was lost in his thoughts, thus, snapping Lin Ye back into reality.
He instinctively grabbed his phone beside him.
Lin Ye was immediately stunned after taking a glance at the time.
31st December 2195.
This was the very day the world changed drastically!
“I’ve been reborn? No, not just that, I was reborn in the eve before the apocalypse?” Lin Ye could not help but mumble to himself after collecting his thoughts.
Based on Lin Ye’s memories, the entire world would change at 12 noon.
A massive crack would appear in the sky before all kinds of beasts and mutants would come pouring out in great numbers to invade Earth and destroy human’s homes on a very massive scale.
Lin Ye’s blood began to boil as he thought about that. He then tightly clenched his fists and exclaimed, “This time, I’ll never allow those beasts and mutants to destroy my home.”
Lin Ye was special since he possessed memories from his rebirth.
He was special because of the knowledge he possessed about the world after the change. He knew plenty of different locations that held treasures.
He would without a doubt become much stronger after getting those treasures!
So, Lin Ye got out of bed, got changed, and walked out of his home.
An abundance of treasures would spawn after the apocalypse. The only thing he had to do was head to one of these spawn locations for these treasures.
It did not take Lin Ye long for him to arrive at the foot of a mountain in a suburban area.
A treasure would spawn at the peak of the mountain after the apocalypse.
As the seconds ticked by, Lin Ye waited at the peak of the mountain for the arrival of the apocalypse.
The apocalypse was inevitable hence, there was only one option left for him and that was for him to become much stronger in order to repel these otherworldly beasts and mutants.
He waited for the impending change with sheer determination in his mind.
Twelve noon!
Waves of deafening explosions could be heard coming from the sky.
The entire world was shaking and cracks were forming on the ground while buildings crumbled.
The entire world felt as if it could completely crumble at any random moment.
Mass hysteria filled every corner of the world.
No human would be able to calm down in the face of the apocalypse.
Lin Ye, however, was an exception.
Since he was completely desensitized after experiencing the apocalypse once. All that was left was his stronger will and confidence to slaughter those beasts.
However, a sudden unfamiliar sound chimed that somehow stunned him.
[Ding. Trigger requirements have been activated. Sac-System is now loading…]
[Ding. Sac-System has been successfully activated. User recognition complete, Lin Ye.]
Lin Ye was completely confused when he finally snapped out of his trance.”
‘Sac-System? What’s that for?’ Lin Ye asked in his mind at the very next moment.
[Luck’s Blessing will be given when an offering is sacrificed. There is also a chance for you to obtain a permanent Luck’s Blessing!] The system replied.
Lin Ye understood that.
He obviously knew about Luck Attributes since that was one of the stats that were displayed for every human after the spirit of the Earth was awakened.
The total value of one’s Luck Attribute would affect the drop rate for treasures after slaying these beasts.
The higher the Luck Attribute was, the higher the drop rate for treasures.
Based on Lin Ye’s experience, increasing one’s Luck Attribute was an excruciatingly difficult thing to do.
He had eight points in the Luck Attribute in his previous life. He was considered as a mid to high tier human.
However, this system seemed to allow him to convert offerings into increasing his Luck Attribute.
Although this would only be a temporary increase to his Luck Attribute, this ability was already quite powerful.
[Ding. Dear user, please make an offering in the next hour, or else the system will completely disappear.]
Lin Ye was speechless after hearing that.
However, he had nothing with him. How was he going to make an offering?
He could not possibly offer himself, right?
However, at this moment, Lin Ye seemed to have suddenly realized something.
Offering himself would be impossible but what if he offered up his lifespan?
Lin Ye decided to offer a year of his lifespan.
[Ding, the minimum requirement for a lifespan offering is 10 years.] An emotionless system’s voice chimed once again.
Lin Ye was speechless. Just how many decades could a person have in a lifetime?
He had no choice but to do that since he wanted to keep the system.
He gritted his teeth and made a choice.
[Ding. Are you sure about offering 10 years of your lifespan?]
“I am!”
Lin Ye could feel his strength was suddenly drained away at the same time he replied to the system. He felt a lot weaker.
[Ding. Congratulations dear user on offering ten years of your lifespan. Your Luck Attribute had been permanently increased to 10 points!]
Lin Ye was slightly pleased when he noticed the results of offering 10 years of his lifespan.
A Luck Attribute of 10 points was no doubt a very high value.
As for the 10 years of his lifespan, he would have to replace it when he got the opportunity to do so in the future.
Plenty of lifespan increasing treasures appeared after the apocalypse. Although those were expensive items, he would get the opportunity to replace everything in the future as he grew stronger.
Just as Lin Ye thought about the future.
Huge cracks appeared one after another in the sky while a huge amount of oddly looking beasts came pouring out of those cracks and landed on the ground.
A bright light came raining down from the sky at the same time, completely engulfing the Earth within it.
Lin Ye who had prior experience knew this was the Earth’s spirit turning everything into data.
After the light faded away, the first thing Lin Ye did was open up his personal bios.

______________
As Lin Ye stared at his oddly high spirit stat, perhaps it was due to him being reborn which molded two sets of memories together. Hence, resulting in a higher than normal human spirit stat.
This obviously was not the main point since Lin Ye was not too bothered by that.
After the entire world had been datafied, the treasure spawned.
As expected, Lin Ye could see a treasure chest spawning out of nothing midair.
He was unsure of what was in this chest
In other words, the item contained in this chest was indeed based on luck.
Since he had 10 points in his Luck Attribute, the item contained in this chest should not be too bad!
