A genius scientist used the “Dream Factor” to turn the entire world into a game. After the transformation, countless creatures mutated into all manner of monsters: zombies, magical beasts, and dragons! Some humans were even forcibly logged into this game, taking on various professions. Now, in this real-world game called “Global Monster Online,” they struggle to survive.
That day, a single voice resounded across the entire world, as loud as thunder.
“I am Lin Bo. You may call me Dr. Lin. ‘Global Monster Online’ is now officially live. In ten minutes, Earth will enter game initialization... So, enjoy these last moments of peace!”
Such words, sounding like a practical joke, failed to draw much attention.
But—
Ten minutes later, the sky was awash with auroras, howling winds raged, and the ground shook violently.
Humanity was plunged into chaos and terror...
...
Year 3 of the Monster Era.
Zhao Nan crouched cautiously in the reeds along the riverbank, the necessary route to Magic City. As a level 49 swordsman, he had to complete the mission of delivering Cloud Crystals to Magic City before he could accept a class change.
Only by reaching level 50 and undergoing his second class change would Zhao Nan have the ability to survive in this hellish world.
There were less than two months until the next game update. By then, all monsters in the world would undergo varying degrees of evolution, and the difficulty would surge. Anyone below level 50 would be nothing more than cannon fodder.
At the start of the game, bewildered and uncertain, Zhao Nan chose the swordsman class for its balanced offense and defense. However, in this realistic game where stats were based on one’s actual body, his half-indoorsman physique meant his starting stats were already below average, making his later development inherently flawed. As the levels of human players gradually rose, this gap only widened.
