New Ability
A year later, a streak of light fell on the 'Hero Island', and when the light faded, a hazy figure was revealed.
He was teleported from a sea fortress some distance from the island.
A Nen that allows for short-distance teleportation.
Directly ahead is an arched covered walkway resembling a gate. Passing through this walkway will take you into the heart of the island, where players can rest and interact.
'Hero Island' is the name that Oboro gave to his Game World.
Unlike Greed Island, which is an open world, players can only wait in a queue after entering the game. When playing online, they will be teleported back into the map to start the battle.
In one corner under the covered bridge stands a building, the so-called 'game hall'.
Players need to register an account, save their data, and sign an agreement.
As Long entered the hall from the entrance, several Manipulation wearing data helmets greeted him, saying, "Welcome to Hero Island. Please register your player information as required."
Besides the NPCs, the most eye-catching things in the hall are the electronic screens and Precision instruments.
The screen displays data and symbols that outsiders can't understand...
A robotic arm carrying a computer was extended in front of Oboro, and the image on it... was the registry.
After he filled in the required information, he was immediately enveloped in a colorful light.
"Hello, player number 001... with the ID 'Dragon', the game manual has been placed in your loot inventory. Please review it..." The leading NPC added a few more reminders.
Immediately afterwards, Oboro stood on the round platform in the middle of the hall and was teleported away.
When he opened his eyes, he found himself on a street surrounded by buildings. The system had already arranged accommodation for him, and a game interface with map icons appeared.
This feeling... was quite peculiar for Oboro.
Because he possesses another system within him...
The island has limited space and capacity, so players need to queue for battles... Right now, since he's alone, there's no need for that.
He manipulated the game interface and activated 'training mode'... and immediately disappeared from the spot again.
He entered one of the two islands, the smaller one... Looking around, this small island was like an independent space, a miniature version of the game map. He was standing at the 'resurrection point', which resembled an altar, in the center of the fountain. Not far away were the faction base, walls, defensive towers, and so on.
Further on, you can see mountain rocks and cliffs... that's the wilderness area.
Beside the spring stood another Conjuration NPC, a merchant who sold equipment, or rather, a shopkeeper.
This wasn't created by him personally, so the actual game structure is somewhat different from the League of Legends of Mir from his previous life, but it's not a big deal... as long as the core remains the same. Unfortunately, relying solely on these newly minted Nen user, even with sheer numbers, makes a complete recreation quite difficult.
This small map... is a training mode unique to Oboro, his self-created 'room'... while player battles take place on the big island.
No other players will be joining in the future...
In training mode, he can freely increase his gold coins, level, purchase equipment, and so on...
But he's not here to experience the fun of the game.
The faction base was built rather simply, consisting of high walls, a flag, and three defensive towers along the lanes. He didn't explore the jungle outside the base, as he had already checked it out before. Every place was inhabited by wild monsters, Murk Wolf, to the people of this Gromp, might seem more like Magical Beasts.
He doesn't need to worry about the subsequent updates and additions to the game content, as well as the loading of templates; he can leave it all to these NPCs... a few agents can handle it independently.
He disabled the spawning of Minion through the player interface... so the battle between the two factions did not begin, but if Oboro teleported to the enemy's defensive tower, he would definitely be bombarded by artillery fire.
His health and mana bars also appeared above his head, but his appearance remained unchanged because he hadn't chosen a hero role... He was both a player and an NPC, and he made some modifications without affecting the balance.
It only concerns myself, not other players.
Furthermore, they cannot participate in player-versus-player battles and can only appear in training mode.
It cannot be used in normal game environments.
This can be interpreted as him being on a separate server, preparing to test the newly designed 'hero character'.
In its previous form, League of Legends would release a new hero character every year at irregular intervals... This also aligns with the 'game philosophy'.
Importantly, the new hero's abilities must be based on real-world game content to avoid violating the rules.
Moreover, this new hero, Oboro, will not be released.
He prepared it for himself!
After a long while, several lights flashed in the spring again, indicating that someone had entered the room... Players cannot do this; only NPCs can.
After seeing him, the leader emerged from the spring and handed him a card, saying, "It's finished."
"The new champion has four skills and one passive skill. The passive skill is Senna's Absolution, which absorbs the falling black mist after killing a target, increasing your attack range and critical strike chance, while also providing Life Steal. The Q skill is Thresh's passive Damnation, which now needs to be activated actively... It allows you to collect the souls of the dead, each soul granting 1 armor and ability power. The W skill is Bleach's Siphoning Strike, which deals initial physical damage, and when you kill a unit with this skill, it permanently increases the skill's damage by 3-10 points. The E skill is Sion's Soul Furnace, which grants 4 health upon killing a unit. Finally, the R skill, the ultimate, is Ekko's Chronobreak, which combines a second 'life' and a healing effect."
"Given your abilities, we've made some changes to these skills, slightly reducing their stats..."
"Very good!"
Long's expression brightened as she looked at the character on the card, who was exactly like herself, and a smile appeared on her face.
Then, without saying another word, he left the room.
Enter as a player once again, and before entering, use a card to select a new hero.
Select the runes and Summoner Spell.
When he reappeared in the spring, he had already noticed the difference.
He gained five more skills... or rather, abilities.
Everyone else exited the map and was teleported away.
Now, on this small island, there is only Oboro alone.
To put it simply, here are a few hero skills.
Absolution means killing the enemy, which can increase the attack range and critical hit probability... In reality, it's similar to killing someone from a distance.
The Damnation absorbs souls to enhance armor and spell power... Armor refers to the body's physical defense, and spell power refers to the strength of one's mind.
Siphoning Strike increases the damage of this skill for each opponent killed.
The Soul Furnace, as the name suggests, can amplify life force after killing someone.
The final Chronobreak... allows him to use the flow of time to go back a few seconds to before, which is his most trump card. If used when his life is in danger, it can also restore his health.
Aside from the Chronobreak, the other skills all have one thing in common.
That is, it can endlessly improve his strength and attributes... as well as the effects of his attacks.
As long as there is enough time and enough units killed, he will not encounter any bottlenecks and will continue to grow.
There is no upper limit.
Speaking solely of his ability to Absolution, if he absorbs enough black mist, he could potentially strike from a distance of thousands of meters away, before the enemy even notices him.
And what he needs to do next is to Separation himself from his current state in the game training mode.
This is not a normal game exit.
Because the game must keep running...
Then, Oboro's Nen surged, and she unleashed her Nen power Nen, 'The Game Treasury of the Endless Dreamer'! A familiar Face Button materialized in mid-air.
Having learned from the previous experience, the development speed of Oboro this time was extremely fast...
The Face Button emits a strange noise, no longer displaying words like "power on" or "start game".
Instead, the wording has changed, which also indicates that the newly generated Nen will have different functions.
'Reading the running program...'
'Reading complete, starting module loading...'
'Loading successful, data packet copying complete...'
'Separation from the game, 3, 2, 1...'
The Face Button disappears the moment the countdown ends.
Oboro was also taken away by a beam of teleportation light...
In a flash, when his vision cleared, he was already standing at the game entrance, outside the covered bridge.
This is where you were teleported to before you even registered as a player.
He... success!
