Chapter 1

“Hurry up! The mock exam results are out!”

“So fast? Let’s hurry and take a look!”

Amidst the students’ clamoring, Fran came to the bulletin board with some expectation in his heart, even though he had already guessed in his heart.

However, when he saw that only his name on the noticeboard was still glowing with a gray light, he couldn’t help but laugh bitterly and say in a self-deprecating manner, “Who the f*ck said that transmigrators are awesome? Stand out and see if I don’t cut them to death!”

That’s right, Fran had actually transmigrated to this world five years ago.

In his previous life, Fran was just a regular white-collar worker who worked in a second-tier city. Although his nine-to-five work wasn’t particularly hard, Fran still felt like something was missing.

Until he transmigrated here.

This was a world that was completely different from his previous life.

Due to the invasion of unknown monsters, the human civilization of this world was completely destroyed overnight.

The surviving humans, after reconstruction, only kept some basic daily life tools such as transportation and chips.

The fall of a civilization often represented the birth of another civilization.

Very quickly, the scientists discovered an item that could replace the previous civilization.

As long as one had such an item, they could practice or fight with their help and obtain the corresponding combat experience and related attribute increases.

Naturally, people quickly discovered that there were four attributes. They were strength, agility, intelligence, and vitality.

The first three attributes required one’s own growth value to reach level 10, and one’s attributes and experience had to reach the standard. After that, hey could awaken and change their profession to a corresponding specialized profession. After practice and actual combat, the specialized professions could undergo a second awakening.

However, this was only limited to the first three attributes.

Among these four attributes, there was only one unique attribute, and it was vitality. None of the class-holders could awaken it.

In this world, vitality didn’t represent strength or stamina, but rather, it represented the mana bar.

For the unawakened, each person’s initial mana bar was 100 points. Low-level spell skills cost five points, assassin skills cost ten points, and warriors and archer skills cost fifteen points.

As for the healer’s healing skill, it could restore three points of vitality after five points were consumed.

It was not that no one had chosen to increase their vitality before, but in the end, they had only increased their own mana bar and their own recovery speed.

It was completely useless to one’s teammates in a team battle.

It was also because of this that no one chose to increase their vitality attribute after discovering this result.

When he had just transmigrated, Fran had been extremely excited. One had to know that this kind of thing would only happen in novels. Who would have thought that such a once-in-a-century thing would actually happen to him!

Even though the world he had transmigrated to was completely different from his previous life, so what? He had gained the knowledge of a civilization of another world out of thin air, so why would he be afraid of not being able to survive here?

Fran was speechless and laughed at the thought of his confident appearance.

Who gave him that confidence back then?

But this wasn’t important to Fran. What he was most concerned about now was why so many people had reached level 10, but he was the only one who had not reached the standard of awakening and changing his profession.

Was it because he had studied a few years less than others, so he couldn’t meet the standard? But that shouldn’t be the case. Didn’t all transmigrators have their own golden fingers? Where was his golden finger?

Not to mention, he had been very diligent in learning these spiritual spells for the past few years! He had not learned all the low-level skills, but he had learned most of them.

Even for some of the less popular skills that almost no one learned, he had seriously studied them for a long time.

But why was he the only one who had not awakened?

Fran gritted his teeth in anger, the unwillingness in his heart almost materializing.

But no one knew the anger in Fran’s heart.

Soon, the teacher who led them went on stage to clear his throat and began to explain the things to take note of for the college entrance examination tomorrow.

“I don’t think I need to say what day it is tomorrow. Everyone, go back and have a good rest tonight to prepare for tomorrow. Tomorrow, there will be corresponding coordinators in each secret realm to take you into the dungeon. When the time comes, you must cooperate with your teammates and strive to get the best results!”

The teacher was impassioned on stage, but Fran was staring at his own panel in a daze.

Tomorrow was the college entrance examination, but in fact, it could be considered the final combat evaluation.

Tomorrow, these students would pass through the secret lands in various places and head to different instance dungeons to clear them and complete the instance dungeon’s mission. However, since they were going through a dungeon, fighting alone was naturally not as good as forming a party.

After all, there was a limit to one person’s strength. If they had teammates, the final result would naturally be very different.

The final evaluation result was closely related to the student’s degree of perfection in completing the final task. Even if they chose a relatively simple mission and completed it perfectly, the final evaluation wouldn’t be too bad.

After tomorrow’s assessment, the students who passed the assessment would be sent to a higher academy for further studies. They would be able to come into contact with more advanced combat techniques and richer and more complete combat knowledge.

They could even become the cream of the crop, enjoy endless glory, wealth, and a large amount of resources, and obtain unimaginable achievements in martial arts.

As for those who did not pass or meet the standards, they could only be regarded as the lowest level of existence. They would become a worker or a farmer and serve these people with combat attributes for the rest of their lives.

Did Fran transmigrate here to serve others?

Furthermore, his parents had already incurred a huge debt in order to pay for his school fees. If he were to give up just like that, it would be no different from taking his life right now!

However, if he wanted to change his profession, he had to meet the requirements of the awakened profession.

Moreover, the awakened profession also had a corresponding age limit, which was that the profession must be awakened and switched to before the age of 18. If you were over 18 years old, it meant that you were not talented enough and didn’t deserve to awaken a combat profession.

Fran was already seventeen years old, so how could he have any spare time to practice?

But Fran counted all the numbers on the panel three times, and he was still far from the so-called requirement!

“F*ck! It’s really annoying!”

Fran ruthlessly grabbed his hair, the fire in his heart burning even more fiercely.

What was he lacking in? It was clearly the same training, the same instance dungeon simulation training. Why was he the only one who did not meet the awakening requirements? Just because he wasn’t a native?

Fran clenched his fists so tightly that the veins on his face bulged when he thought of the mocking looks his classmates gave him.

He even had the urge to kill someone, but when he saw the pitiful score on the panel in front of him, it was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on him, and he felt a chill in his heart.

Fran was a little taken aback.

Suddenly, his eyes fell on the vitality attribute on the interface. As if thinking of something, Fran took a deep breath, his fighting spirit reignited.

He stretched out his hand and slowly added all his attribute points to vitality.

Since he didn’t have any high-level skills and his other attribute points were low, it wouldn’t be too much to add more mana, right? Although the damage of low-level skills was not high, it was still good to wear the enemy down. As long as the damage was enough, it was not impossible to kill the monsters. Even ants could bite an elephant to death!

Thinking of this, Fran couldn’t help but take a deep breath and pray inwardly.
