Chapter Summaries

Reborn ten years before Apocalypse launched, Qin Chuan prepared to use his knowledge of the coming catastrophe to grow stronger. After his gaming capsule erased the Arrow God’s returning Will Shard, he drew an SSS-Tier talent and awaited the game’s launch.

• The capsule detected and cleared the Arrow God’s Will Shard, leaving Qin Chuan wary of conflict among the Gods.
• The capsule awarded Qin Chuan the SSS-Tier talent Sniper God.

Qin Chuan awakened the SSS-Tier Sniper God talent and rejected Apocalypse’s recommendation to become an Archer, deciding instead to choose Assassin for its survival skills and Cloakbreaking Strike. He unlocked every hidden Assassin class and began examining the five options.

He persuaded the injured hunter to agree to trade the Exotic Beast Skull for the Wolf King’s head, promising to deliver it within three days.

• Qin Chuan checked his level-one Shadow Assassin skills and found that Shadow Flying Dagger and Cloakbreaking Strike could make up for his lack of a long-range weapon.

• Qin Chuan promised to bring the hunter the Wolf King’s head within three days and demanded the skull in advance.

• Qin Chuan realized Sniper God corrected his movements and revised his plan to attack from farther away.
