[Congratulations! You have opened a God-Rank Chest!]
[Congratulations! You have obtained the God-Rank Skill: True Sight!]
As the two system notifications rang out, a stream of pale golden light flew out from the chest and directly entered John’s eyes.
In an instant, he felt the world before him beco clearer.
The black mist, death corruption, and spatial folds that still lingered within the Northern Exclusion Zone—things that would normally be extrely difficult to perceive—now beca distinct within his vision.
Even the remnants of the City Lord’s Mansion’s sealing array in the distance appeared before John’s eyes like countless fine threads suspended in the air.
"This effect..."
John’s heart stirred with delight, and he imdiately opened his skill panel to check.
...
[True Sight]
[Effects]:
Allows the user to see through illusions, disguises, falsehoods, concealnt, and Spirit veils below a certain level.
Increases basic attack accuracy to 100%.
Increases critical strike chance by 50%.
[Description]: All falsehood shall fade. Only truth remains eternal.
...
After reading the skill description, John’s eyes lit up.
At first glance, the skill’s damage increase did not seem exaggerated, but its actual value was terrifying.
Needless to say, the first effect—seeing through illusions and disguises—would help him avoid countless hidden traps in the early stages.
As for the second effect, increasing basic attack accuracy to 100%, it directly changed his entire combat experience.
From now on, even when facing high-speed enemies, phantom clones, or spatial dodges, as long as John’s attack was judged to be a basic attack, it would no longer be dodged or miss.
Combined with the third effect, a 50% increase to critical strike chance, and paired with his current absurdly high attributes, the damage he could deal once a critical strike triggered would be absolutely terrifying.
"Perfect."
John let out a long breath.
Just as he began to relax slightly, an indescribable wave of exhaustion suddenly surged through him.
But it was not exhaustion from his ga character.
It was a warning from his real body.
John abruptly realized that he seed to have been online for far too long this ti.
During this session, he had consecutively experienced the truth behind the Edge of the World, the battle against the teorite Corpse Tree, the Trial of the First Seat dungeon, and nearly a hundred years of Spirit reincarnation.
After so many major events, both his Spirit and his real body had already been pushed to the brink.
Moreover, the ga had not yet fused with reality.
No matter how powerful John was in the ga, it could not change the fact that his body in the real world still needed food and sleep.
If the fusion between ga and reality had not even begun yet, and he ended up collapsing from overexertion or starving his real body to death first, that would truly make him the greatest joke imaginable.
With that thought, John decisively chose to log out.
...
John woke up inside the hotel room, imdiately feeling a gnawing hunger in his stomach.
He opened the hotel’s room service system at once and ordered three high-protein als and two bottles of electrolyte water.
After prolonged hunger and stress, high-quality food was far more useful to the body than fancy bottles of red wine.
In just a few minutes, a al cart was pushed into the room.
John devoured everything in one sitting.
After his body finally received a trendous sense of satisfaction, he collapsed onto the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
...
He slept for a full fourteen hours.
When he woke up, his Spirit felt clearer than ever before.
The exhaustion left behind by nearly a hundred years inside the Trial of the First Seat seed to have been thoroughly washed away by that long sleep.
Although his body was still sowhat weak, he no longer felt the nearly hollowed-out sensation from the night before.
After washing up, John did not rush back into the ga.
Instead, he ordered breakfast and casually opened his phone while eating.
But the mont he tapped into the trending searches, he discovered that the entire internet had almost been completely occupied by ga-related content.
[A World-Class Quest Has Appeared in the Starter Village!]
[Analyzing the Identity of Outlander!]
[Summary of Recent Server-Wide Announcents!]
[What Exactly Is the God-Rank Reward That Appeared This Ti?]
[Speculation on the Abilities of This Hidden Class!]
...
These search terms had practically taken over the trending lists on every platform.
The ID "Outlander" had now completely broken out of the ga’s player circle.
A massive number of players were discussing who exactly was behind that ID.
...
[Cola Without Ice]: "This Outlander is definitely not an individual player. Otherwise, there’s no way to explain how he achieved so much in such a short ti.
"There must be so super consortium behind this account, pouring money into it like crazy!"
[Night Owl]: "Seriously? Is it really that exaggerated?"
[Ga Maniac]: "I don’t think even a super consortium could necessarily pull this off in such a short ti. It’s more likely that he’s an internal tester for the ga, specifically completing Hidden Quests that ordinary players haven’t managed to trigger yet."
...
John scrolled through more than a dozen pages, but his expression gradually beca subtle.
Because these comnts were far too clean.
Clearly, discussion about Outlander was overwhelming the internet, yet there was almost no information about his real-world identity.
There was not even a single vague rumor, a blurry photo, or an implied location.
That was obviously abnormal.
The Overlord Guild already knew his real identity.
Nix, the blond, had been crippled by him in the ga. Under normal circumstances, there was no way the other side would remain completely inactive.
If the Overlord Guild truly wanted revenge, the simplest thod would be to throw his real-world information onto the internet and guide public opinion into attacking him.
They could even use his debt as an excuse to brand him negatively.
Yet now, there was not a single related leak online.
It was as if soone had deliberately suppressed the matter.
John frowned, unable to understand the reason behind it.
Just then, his phone suddenly received a text ssage.
The content of the ssage was very simple.
[Dear Mr. John, your debt to the Overlord Guild has been fully canceled. There is no longer any debtor-creditor relationship between the two parties. We wish you a pleasant life!]
John stared at the ssage for several seconds, and his gaze turned cold.
If the absence of his real identity online could still be explained by the Overlord Guild simply not having had ti to act, then this text ssage was completely wrong.
Not only had the Overlord Guild stopped pursuing the debt, they had even taken the initiative to cancel it?
But John did not feel much relief.
Instead, his brows furrowed even deeper.
This was not them letting him go at all.
It ant that soone did not want him to enter any public judicial process because of the debt issue.
Nor did they want his identity to be exposed through any public channel!
