Link was once a lone ranger. Although his survival was guaranteed, his quality of life was almost the same as that of a savage. He always worried about food, slept in the open, and ate in the wind most of the time.

Those feudal lords who established political power and wielded absolute power enjoyed life like a celestial being. They had tens of thousands of [Doomsday Online] players under them, and it was easy for them to do anything.

Now that he had the chance to relive his life, he would be able to form the most powerful force in the world and emerge on top with his talent and abilities. Right now, this was just the first step.

Although Dragon City No. 1 Middle School was just a school, there were quite a few players with high potential hidden within. Even those who were unknown in his previous life might not be weak.

Just like Yang Xuerou, who became a legendary awakened Holy Priest this life. But in her previous life, she died tragically at the hands of a traitor before she could succeed.

The assessment he set was not easy for ordinary people.

It was important to know that even the weakest Skeleton Soldiers were stronger than ordinary people in all aspects of physical abilities, let alone Skeleton Swordsmen! But Link had no intention of letting them fight with dark creatures head-on.

It took brains to fight. In other words, talent. Those who could pass the assessment were not mediocre. There was value in training them. As for those who didn’t pass, they could do whatever they want.

Their life and death had nothing to do with them.

…

Link sat on top of a rock, lying on his side quite leisurely.

As time passed, Dragon City No. 1 Middle School began to get lively. It seemed that the students had spread the word to the others. Some were skeptical, but most of them were willing to try.

Dark creatures were everywhere. It was a matter of time before they had to face them anyway. Thus, they might as well try to fight them on their own accord. It was just that their combat skills were rather pathetic.

Some people held mops, which the Skeleton Swordsmen chopped into pieces with one slash. They almost had their entire hands chopped off.

Some that were stronger wildly swung tall door panels. They exhausted themselves but didn’t even touch the Skeleton Swordsmen. In the end, their heads were cut off by the Skeleton Swordsmen.

When the others saw that these people had lost their lives, they became frightened and began clamoring a slogan that they would rather stay alive.

Link got disinterested and turned around so that he didn’t have to look at them. Suddenly, he heard a loud noise.

Link looked up but only saw two figures walking on the edge of the field.

One of them was strong and tall. He held a mountain knife in his hand; his attacks were widely-ranged. When he swung it around, one could faintly see the sword energy surrounding the blade, which could easily cut the Skeleton Swordsmen’s bones.

The surrounding Skeleton Swordsmen were attracted and surrounded him, but they could do nothing to him.

About five meters behind him stood a tall, glamorous woman holding a traditional compound bow that was as tall as half a person. She aimed and shot at the Skeleton Swordsmen surrounding the strong man.

Her actions of bending the bow and pulling its string were smooth. One could easily tell that she was skilled at archery.

Her technique was accurate, and light lingered on the arrow. Her arrows could easily pierce into the Skeleton Swordsmen’s [Soul Fire]s and kill them.

Their teamwork was orderly, and they soon killed more than 20 Skeleton Swordsmen. Of course, they were exhausted after this.

Link’s eyes lit up. As the two people got closer, the corners of his mouth curved up slightly. “It’s them!”
