Li Aoz boarded the train, took out his Personal Terminal, letters, and diary, checked his personal information, and confirmed his identity.

"Isaac Maxim, 21, chose to serve in the military to earn enough for college tuition. He served as a mobile infantryman in the 22nd Field Battalion of the D15 Military District. He completed seven vocational skills training programs and basically mastered driving, demolition, hand-to-hand combat, diving, stealth, information reconnaissance, drone flight, sniping, wilderness survival, and parachuting skills. He was promoted to private first class in the army."

"He was a kind man who participated in the rescue mission of the 'Great Earthquake of Ailam' in 220 and was awarded the title of Level 4 Hero. However, he had always been in poor health due to a congenital disease. In 221, the Empire announced military reforms, Isaac's physical condition did not meet the requirements of the new reforms, so he was required to retire early. I suspect that this disease was also the cause of his previous death from shock..."

Thanks to the new version update, players of "Star Abyss" can directly recruit NPCs who are better than ordinary people, starting with level 5 or 6 characters, and some players are even lucky enough to start with level 10.

This is normal. The competitive mode that Star Abyss has always emphasized is like this, which makes it easier for newcomers to quickly close the gap. By the end of the version, the only difference between newcomers and veterans will be experience and accumulated resources, and the game will be in a balanced state.

Li Aoz took a pendant out of his pocket, and when he opened it, he saw a projection of a family photo: a young and innocent Sim was surrounded by his family. At that time, his skin was still very fair, and he had a shy smile on his face. His pet cat was purring on his shoulder.

He had his arm around his twin brother, Asimov, a tall, strong, and honest high school basketball player who played center for the team. The two brothers seemed to have a good relationship. Between their arms stood a graceful little girl. Although her features weren't particularly beautiful, her chubby face was quite cute, and she wore braces. That was their younger sister, Susanna.

In contrast, his parents looked much more ordinary. His father, Franz Sim, had a long beard and wore a straw hat; he was a typical honest old farmer.

The mother, Lena Sim, was overweight, with rosy cheeks, red hair, purple eyes, and pale skin—a typical descendant of Outland.

"The bond with my family is so wonderful," Li Aoz couldn't help but sigh. He then opened his personal panel and checked his attribute information. "Let me see what's special about this body."

[Experience]: 0 [Attributes]: Strength - 8 Dexterity - 7 Constitution - 9 Charisma - 6 Willpower - 6 [Origin]: Retired Soldier

[Descended Character Background]: "It's a real pity that I left the army before I could serve the empire. I have good talent and should have fought to protect the peace of more people."

"I am a soldier, and this is what I should do."

"But my Li Ren keeps thinking about me, and I really want to see them."

(Detected that the target was already dead before deployment, activate the Wish System) Wish A - Greet your Li Ren and have a good chat with them.

My long-cherished wish B: In the future, to participate in at least one military operation of the Red Arrow Empire.

[Talent]: Racial Talent - Teamwork - New Generation Homo Sapiens have extremely strong teamwork abilities. When you are in a team, your experience gain is increased by 50%, but it will not be effective when you leave the team.

[Retired Soldier] Innate Talent and War Sensitivity – You possess keen insight and organizational skills. Years of service experience have given you a thorough understanding of military equipment and tactical maneuvers, giving you a higher probability of obtaining military intelligence information.

[Owned Skills]: Military Combat, Combat Shooting, Battlefield First Aid, Urban Warfare Techniques, High School Education Knowledge

[Tier]: Not yet in tier [Lai Anding Medical Protocol]: 3 resurrection opportunities remaining today

"It's actually not bad."

Li Aoz nodded.

Isaac Maxim has pretty good base stats: 9 points in Constitution, 8 points in Strength, and 7 points in Dexterity. With these stats, beating up a dozen or so ordinary people wouldn't be a problem.

Moreover, this was achieved through ordinary military training without having even touched the Dao path, making him a true genius.

"It seems this body is well-suited for the [Destruction] path—good, the original body has [bloodline], and it's close to Valkyrie Fortress, so this path will be much easier."

One of the major advantages of the [Destruction] path is its fast leveling, powerful strength, and user-friendly training. If you want to promote the less popular [Domination] path, choosing to boast about the [Destruction] path is a good option.

With multiple paths and alternatives, and moreover, this account is covered by the "Lai Anding Medical Protocol," which grants three resurrection opportunities per day. To maximize the use of this tool for navigating potential pitfalls, it needs to be made more resilient.

"Go directly down the path of the [Martial Artist].

Without much hesitation, Li Aoz made his decision immediately.

The main body of the [Dominator] system is to become the Path Sovereign, while the [Martial Artist] sub-account can become a top-notch fighter.

In the worst-case scenario, if he fails to ascend to godhood through the [Dominion] path, he will simply switch to his alternate account and join the infighting among the [Destruction] faction.

He refused to believe that if he couldn't defeat other NPCs, he couldn't defeat other players. He was going to create a secondary account to maximize its benefits. After Li Aoz's [Intelligence] stat was boosted, his mind had become much sharper, and he had a clear understanding of all the possible scenarios.

Moreover, there aren't many paths to choose from on Azure Planet; the lineage of the [Martial Artist] is much more complete and clear.

Li Aoz made a list for himself and planned out his next steps in detail. His comrade ran over and asked to take a photo with Li Aoz. Li Aoz did not refuse and agreed with a smile.

"3, 2, 1—Cheese!"

After taking the photo, his comrade laughed and ran to the other side.

Li Aoz sat in his seat, gazing at the rapidly receding red and black skyline in the distance. The Malefic Calamity was still spreading, and seemed even more severe than before.

Entropy probably can't imagine that someone who escaped can come back.
