The sun was high in the sky, but the world faced a crisis. In the past 2 weeks, they have been defeating dungeon after dungeon, with players slowly increasing their levels. The average level of players is 8, but many top tiered teams were already level 12 or 13, with the highest levelled player being a teen girl from China at the level of 17.

But all of a sudden, dozens upon dozens of gates exploded, with hundreds of thousands of monsters poured into the world.

More and more countries were swallowed by the immense horde, with the entirety of the continent of Africa devastated with the trample of beasts. Countries like China and America managed to hold their ground, but countries like Korea and Japan had to retreat before being able to protect their cities. Countless people died, it didn’t matter if they were civilians or players, but everyone had to participate in the battle.

And that was when the future Top Rankers will be formed.

In the forest, a single trail of smoke came from a campfire. A campfire in the middle of the night full of monsters would be suicide. But this swordsman thinks differently, while he waits for prey to come, he shall rest. Han Ling took this chance to look through the rewards he obtained.

Right after the Wolf King fell, Han Ling’s level jumped by five, reaching 25 in one go. But he still hasn’t selected an element for himself. Han Ling pulled out a small black bead, inspecting it.

[Element Seed (Super Rare)]

Contains the power of a unique element, it is unknown as to what element this seed derives from.

Han Ling obtained the seed from the dungeon reward along with two Ghostly Gold loot boxes. He then opened the loot boxes he had first.

[Opening Ghostly Gold Loot Box]

[Rewarding player…

[Elemental Skill book (Super Rare item)]

[Captain’s Spear (Silent Silver)]

[Element Weapon (Ghostly Gold)]

[302 Sovereigns]

[Rare skill: Indomitable Body]

[Sword’s Heart (Rare Item)]

[Knight’s Shield (Serene Silver)]

Han Ling whistled in surprise; never would he have imagined getting so much good loot from a Ghostly Gold loot box. An elemental skill wasn’t common, but at the same time they had ranks. A super rare elemental skill was gold in a pile of iron, a one chance to obtain something game breaking. Even in the future, super rare elemental skills were never sold, only barter traded.

[Elemental Skill Book (Super Rare)]

Grants player a super rare skill or technique according to their element.

There has been one Ultra Rare elemental skill, but no one knew what happened to it after an intense guild war. Speaking of guilds, the top companies should have created guilds. Then its time for me to earn some money.

The next was the Element Weapon, which was the best prize Han Ling could have hoped for in the Loot box. It was perfect since he would need a good weapon for his element to be ahead of the future NPCs.

Now all that’s left is the element seed…

[Would you like to use the Unique Seed?]

Han Ling clicked on yes. And a torrent of mana entered Han Ling without any warning. Immense pain grabbed Han Ling, forcing to gasp as he grunted.

[You have gained a unique element]

[Unique element has evolved to Forbidden element]

[Player has gained Forbidden element…]

[Void]

Han Ling cursed out, yelling at the top of his lungs as threads of purple mana forced their way into the human’s body. The entire procedure took a full minute, but it felt like years for Han Ling. Breathless, Han Ling feel to the ground. From his chest, a purple glow pulsed, sending bright glowing mana around his body, illuminating the teen with purplish white ethereal strands.

[Player has integrated with Forbidden Element: Void]

[Player is now a Void Prince…]

Han Ling coughed out a sigh of relief as the pain slowly ebbed away, replacing his pain with incredible soreness, and he could not keep his eyes from closing shut like the doors to the future…

>>>

The sun fired its heat rays down to the human, almost like it was trying to wake the human. Han Ling’s finger twitched and his eyes flitted open, revealing purple irises not unlike a panther’s.

With a groan, he sat up, holding his head with both hands as a his brain throbbed.

Those purple eyes flitted around him, head turning left and right, checking for any dangers. Once he knew he was safe, Han Ling opened his stats.

A Void Prince? The prince of the void? There wasn’t anything like this in the future. I’ve never heard of anyone turning into their own elements…Also what’s a Forbidden Element? Is it a rank higher than Unique?

“I got lucky, I got an element I’ve never heard off, it must be good.”

Han Ling then checked the unique element.

[Forbidden Element: Void]

Han Ling couldn’t help himself from grinning, 3500 health? He was a damn monster at this point. With an element like Void, Han ling pretty much stands at the top of humans. But now he’ll take it to the next level.

[Would you like to use the Elemental Skill Book (Super Rare)?]

[Rewarding player with Super Rare skill or technique…]

[Congratulations! Player has obtained Super Rare Technique: Silent Void]

[Silent Void (Super Rare)]

Han Ling grinned from ear to ear. Holy shit! A domain skill! Domain skills are sought after fiercely by players, as they create a temporary world that buffs allies and debuffs enemies. Along with the silence effect, it’ll be a battle changing skill.

Now all that’s left is the Elemental Weapon.

[Would you like to use Elemental Weapon?]

[Elemental weapon has recognized player as a swordsman]

[Integrating Forbidden Element: Void into Elemental Sword…]

Han Ling’s eyes sparkled.
