Chapter 1: 10000x Critical Hit System! The Age of Global Dataization!

"Die laughing, Aiden. You’re just a common-level job. How dare you shout? You really think hard work matters? This is a world of talent!"

The White City, the first high school, echoed with Kael’s sneering laugh.

At the same time, Aiden slightly frowned, his eyes cold, with a sharp glint in them.

"A world of talent?"

Aiden took a deep breath.

In an instant, a flood of information rushed into his mind.

"Is that how it is?"

In just a moment, Aiden understood the world he was in. It was a world where everyone was dataized, or more accurately, the game had invaded reality.

One thousand years ago, when games and reality fully merged, the whole world fell into endless darkness. Monsters that only existed in games appeared out of nowhere, and the entire Blue Planet was torn apart, revealing countless secret realms.

This was no longer a world that believed in science. It was a world where everyone awakened. And today was Aiden’s awakening day.

But...

He only awakened the most ordinary job.

Magic Apprentice.

This job couldn’t even be called a successful awakening. Because if he couldn’t become a real wizard in the second class, Aiden would never get a chance to reclassify again.

The young man who sneered at Aiden, with a mocking smile on his lips, was Kael, Aiden’s classmate.

The prince of the A+ grade guild, Long Glow Guild.

And also the admirer of Aiden’s girlfriend, Elyra.

Today, Kael awakened as an Epic Reclasser, a Holy Knight.

Maybe because Aiden was handsome, he was popular with all the girls in the school.

So today, Kael was really excited, because he finally had a chance to take a shot back!

[Aiden

Job: Magic Apprentice

Rank: Common

Level: 1

HP: 50

Stats: Strength 1, Constitution 1, Spirit 1, Agility 1

Skills: Fireball (Level 1), Healing Spell (Level 1)]

"So weak?" Aiden frowned, ignoring Kael and only looking at his job sheet.

Hmm.

Just as he expected. It was weak. The most common and worst job. All his stats were just 1, and his HP was only 50.

"Only one month until the College Testing?"

Aiden’s face turned serious.

In this world, the most important things were jobs and talent. Kael was right, this was a world of talent.

That’s why, even though Aiden had always worked hard, and was one of the best students in school, with top scores in academics for three years.

But none of it mattered.

A job that’s weak almost decides your future. You just end up as a normal worker, nothing special.

Unless...

Aiden could complete the Second Class, or even the Third Class, before the College Testing.

And make sure he became a real wizard.

Otherwise, he’d never get a chance to turn things around.

"Hard work isn’t useless, right?" Aiden took a deep breath, thinking to himself.

Before he came here, he believed people could beat fate.

And even after arriving in this world, he still held on to that idea.

"Aiden, what happened to you? You really disappointed me."

"You got the weakest common-level job. I wonder what you did these past few days. You messed up on the awakening day, and couldn’t even get a Gold Rank."

Suddenly, a voice full of disgust appeared.

Aiden looked over.

Elyra.

His girlfriend.

And the one Kael was secretly in love with.

Today, Elyra was wearing a dark purple long dress, showing off her perfect and delicate figure. Her skin was pale and smooth, and her face was small and beautiful, with eyes full of annoyance and a hint of hatred.

Aiden looked at Elyra and said in a calm tone: "You’re embarrassed by a common-level job?"

Elyra was surprised for a moment, then got angry: "What else should I expect? A common-level job, and you’re my boyfriend? You should look at the awakening rate of our school this time. You’re the weakest! Even the old school bottom feeder is better than you! How dare you argue with me?"

Aiden said nothing.

His eyes showed a little bit of heaviness.

Awakening had nothing to do with your old academic scores. It was all about talent.

Aiden used to be the worst student in the school. Today, he became a Silver Rank job holder.

The job ranks were strictly set.

The higher the rank, the stronger the power, and the bigger the future.

Once you went beyond the Gold Rank, you were part of the best in the whole nation.

The job ranks, from low to high, were: Iron Rank, Bronze Rank, Silver Rank, Gold Rank, Platinum Rank, Diamond Rank, Starlight Rank, Epic, Legendary, Mythic.

Kael got an Epic Holy Knight.

Elyra wasn’t bad either. She got a Diamond Rank Flame Mage.

As Elyra said, the awakening rate this time at First High School was really high. Aiden was the one dragging down the average.

"So, what do you want to do?" Aiden stared straight at Elyra and said in a calm voice.

"What do I want to do?"

Elyra took a deep breath, her chest rising slightly, her face full of anger, as if Aiden’s words were not what she expected.

"Break up! No more contact. I don’t want to talk to you, a waste like you, anymore."

Elyra smiled, no longer hiding her eyes, filled with disgust and hatred.

Aiden let out a cold laugh, and his lips also curled:

"So? In your eyes, a person’s value is just their job?"

Aiden’s voice was very light:

"If a boyfriend’s job is bad, does that mean he has no value? All the effort you’ve put in before is meaningless, right?"

Elyra was stunned.

"What else is there to say?"

She seemed to think it was all perfectly normal.

Aiden said nothing, slightly frowning, and the mocking smile on his lips became more obvious.

Although Aiden had come from another world, he felt everything his previous self had gone through.

No matter what Elyra said, Aiden had always tried his best as a boyfriend. In this world, he had no parents, was alone, and to meet Elyra’s demands, he had worked three jobs every day in addition to attending school.

But to Elyra, all of it was taken for granted.

All of it was meaningless.

"Don’t keep fooling yourself!" Elyra seemed to have realized something, and she suddenly crossed her arms, angry: "Don’t think that buying me breakfast or some small things makes you seem like you’ve given so much! In this world, only strength and potential matter. If you can’t provide value, then get out!"

"Get out?!"

After hearing Elyra’s words, Aiden took a deep breath and stayed silent.

But in his eyes, a fierce anger burned.

At that moment, Kael’s eyes lit up:

"Honey, you finally saw Aiden’s real face! He used to be first in exams, got perfect scores, so what? I heard it was all cheating. Now it’s finally exposed. Pretending to be hardworking, but he ended up with a garbage job. Magic Apprentice? Haha, it’s not even a proper awakening!"

Elyra’s full figure slightly swayed.

She glanced at Kael.

"You’re not bad. This time you became a Holy Knight."

Kael was stunned, then laughed happily, excitedly shouting: "Yeah, honey, Epic class! Even across the country, my job is at the top of the pyramid! Give me some time, and I can complete the Second Class before the College Testing. I believe I can easily become the top of The White City! No, no, even the Ironvale top, I can easily take it!"

Elyra only looked at Kael once, then ignored him.

She turned back to Aiden: "What’s wrong? Not talking now? Regretting it already? Let me tell you, it’s too late. I said break up, so we’re done. Don’t even think about getting back together. Other than that good-looking face, what else do you have?"

Elyra’s expression was full of dissatisfaction.

She continued talking endlessly.

But at that moment, Aiden was stunned, his eyes filled with endless light!

"Is this... a system?"

Aiden swallowed hard, his heart pounding!

"Beep! Host detected awakening success. Unlocking the God-class system: 10000x Critical Hit!"

"10000x Critical Hit: The harder you work, the stronger you become. One unit of effort, 100 times the reward!"
