Rebirth of the Thief Who Roamed The World Chapter 616 – Sulgata’s Shadow Walkers Legendary
Chapter 616 – Sulgata’s Shadow Walkers (Legendary)
Nie Yan examined the brand new pair of boots.
Sulgata’s Shadow Walkers (Legendary): Soul Item
Requirements: 1,900 Dexterity, 600 Strength
Description: Destroyed and lost during the War of Sulgata. All three fragments—Sulgata’s Boots, Sulgata’s Runic Cloth, and Sulgata’s Feather—have been brought back together to form a complete whole. The legendary pair of boots emerge in history once more! Represents the pinnacle of shadow. Brimming with enigmatic power.
Properties: Defense 1,028-1,201, Evasion +10%, Dexterity +200, Movement Speed +120, Jump +110, Stealth +120, Cloaking +120, and Reflex +120.
Steal (Rank 16): Attempt to pocket gold or an item from a target.
Shadow Waltz (Rank 16): Stealth +120, Cloaking +120, Movement Speed +150, 8 seconds of invincibility; cannot be detected through stealth for 20 seconds.
Restrictions: Nirvana Flame
Note: This item cannot be dropped, destroyed, or traded.
Sulgata’s Shadow Walkers finally offered some protection, providing more than 1,000 defense, which was practically unheard of among shoe-type items. It was far better than Ygris’ Guardian Gages and the Orpheus Vambraces. The upgrade to Steal and Shadow Waltz especially blew Nie Yan away. This was his first time seeing two Rank 16 skills.
Sulgata’s Shadow Walkers was a Soul Item, which meant it would grow alongside Nie Yan as he levelled up.
His own development would dictate the future growth of Sulgata’s Shadow Walkers.
If Sulgata’s Shadow Walkers were tradeable, it would surely sell for an astronomical sum in the marketplace. Its properties would drive countless players mad with envy.
Nie Yan estimated Sulgata’s Shadow Walkers was at least equivalent to a Level 150 Legendary item.
He already fulfilled the 1,900 Dexterity and 600 Strength requirements.
His Dexterity was at a frightening 2,300 while his Strength surpassed 1,000.

Nie Yan put on Sulgata’s Shadow Walkers, then took them for a spin. The boots fit snugly around his feet and provided amazing support. He didn’t feel the slightest bit of weight, almost as if he were wearing nothing.
“Hah! Now this is a Legendary item!” Nie Yan sighed in admiration. He could travel great distances, even by just casually walking around.
Nie Yan checked his defense. It had already breached 10,000. Even among Warriors, those who had a higher defense than him were few and far between. It was just that Thieves wore leather armour, which offered far less protection than a Warrior’s plate armour. His defense was still nevertheless astonishing. Combined with his Rank 7 defense, attacks from ordinary players couldn’t break his armour.
“Three pieces of Legendary-grade equipment. I don’t think there’s anyone out there better geared than me!” Nie Yan’s eyes shone with excitement.
After getting comfortable with Sulgata’s Shadow Walkers, Nie Yan had Guo Huai send over some gems. He socketed his new equipment. Like this, his stats received another boost.
These days, Asskickers United was expanding at a frightening rate. After gaining a strong foothold in Moonlight City, which was now their second base, they established branches in five more cities. To support this growth, they started recruiting again and expanded their ranks to 150,000 players.
The Starry Night Potion Shop rapidly expanded alongside Asskickers United, opening up branches in every city across the Viridian Empire. Their revenue sharply increased, bringing in more than 300,000 gold a day.
The number of strongholds under the control of World Bloc had also quickly increased, from just a few in the beginning to more than 30 now. Thanks to the real world business districts of these strongholds, World Bloc’s revenue from the virtual reality industry increased several times over. They earned an exorbitant amount of money, which Father Nie would invest in various projects. They had already increased their market share by more than 3,000%! Their influence was also rapidly expanding. Many domestic financial groups started paying attention to them. Some tried to strike up a cooperative relationship. Others viewed them as powerful competitors. The rise of World Bloc was inevitable.

Nie Yan’s goal was to make World Bloc even more powerful than the Century Financial Group.
During the war against Alliance of Mages, the Century Financial Group had made use of their enormous wealth to poach quite a few Asskickers United members. World Bloc’s financial resources simply couldn’t compare to theirs. One day, Nie Yan planned to give them a taste of their own medicine. He would use World Bloc’s capital to compete with the Century Financial Group and see who could hold out until the end!
Asskickers United’s momentum was unstoppable. There was no power in the Viridian Empire capable of posing a threat to them for the time being. God Executioner Sword, Penumbra Empire, and those other guilds were too weak to stir up any waves. Even if Nie Yan wasn’t there, Guo Huai and the others could easily deal with them. No trouble would arise as long as Guo Huai paid close attention to the Monet Financial Group’s movements.
Asskickers United, the War God Tribe, Holy Empire, and the other guilds in the alliance were all on the right track. Even if Nie Yan disappeared for some time, none of their operations would be affected in the slightest. He could leave with his heart at ease.
“If I can become a Luminous Dancer, nothing can stop me in the future!” Nie Yan’s eyes gleamed with determination as he headed for the Temple of Light.
The same as last time, after walking through the hall, Nie Yan found Priest Anisen. He looked no different from before. His kind expression gave people an amiable impression.
“You’re back. Are you ready now?” Anisen asked with a faint smile, almost as if he had met an old friend.
“Priest Anisen, I’m all set to go. I want to enter the Ancient World. I will pursue the tracks left behind by God and receive His divine inheritance!”
“Pious believer, may the light be with you. Follow me.” Anisen nodded with a gratified smile. He then turned around and headed deeper into the temple.
Anisen led Nie Yan to the magic formation from last time.
“The Ancient World contains the inheritance left behind by God. If you successfully advance to a Luminous Dancer, you’ll obtain incredible power. Of course, that place is also filled with dangers. If you fail, you will forever lose the qualifications to become a Luminous Dancer. I’ll ask once more. Are you fully prepared?” Anisen asked with a solemn look on his face.
“I am!” Nie Yan nodded.
Anisen chanted an incantation and waved his staff. A giant beam of light shone down on the magic formation, causing a white portal to emerge.
“Go forth. The portal will lead you to the Ancient World.”
Nie Yan took a deep breath, then stepped into the portal. The light consumed his body as it left this world. After which the portal gradually faded before disappearing without a trace.

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.
