Old Zhou

Old Zhou's "class" matched his codename exactly—"Prisoner."

At first, he had also wondered why he had awakened this "class." By Old Zhou's reckoning, he should have been more likely to awaken a "Ace Athlete," "Henchman," or some similar "class."

After all, he had never been to prison.

Of course... Old Zhou did not think it was completely unreasonable, either.

Before joining the "Death game," Old Zhou had worked security at a nightclub, living a life of working by night and sleeping by day.

Although Old Zhou was not even sure whether he had actually broken any laws, he knew that what he did had indeed fallen into a gray area.

There had been nothing special about how he joined the game. He had simply been killed one day on his way home after a night shift when a falling steel bar struck him as he passed a construction site.

But... it was precisely because of that that Old Zhou realized how unwilling he had been to die.

It was also because of that that, after clearing the [Novice instance], he realized that his current life was nothing but a waste of his own life.

After all, the "Prisoner" class perhaps revealed what he subconsciously expected from his current job—if things continued this way, he would end up in prison sooner or later.

After all, imprisonment and detention were commonplace in his social circle and workplace.

So Old Zhou quit his job, said goodbye to his drinking buddies, and began teaching himself programming.

Although he had quit, Old Zhou still had no idea what he actually wanted to do—he could only do what he was best at.

He found a new, respectable job and joined a game company.

At work, he worked hard. After work, he exercised and practiced boxing day
