Chapter Summaries

Li Si woke in the body of Li Si Kane, a level 30 mage in the world of Divine Revelation Game, and discovered he had a Legendary-level All-Rounder talent. After recognizing his new identity as a doomed figure in the game’s storyline, he realized he might be assassinated within days.

• Li Si woke in a luxurious estate and realized he was no longer in his former home.
• A rush of memories revealed that he had transmigrated into Divine Revelation Game as Li Si Kane, a Court Viscount of the Fies Kingdom.

• Li Si recognized that Li Si Kane was the head of the Kane Family, who was assassinated during the Sacred Festival shortly after the game launched.
• Li Si realized his death could trigger the human kingdom war in Fanor and concluded that he was in immediate danger.

After realizing he had been reborn as Li Si Kane, a viscount doomed to die in a future assassination, Li Si reviewed what he knew about the incident and the world of Divine Revelation. He identified his Legendary All-Rounder talent as the key to growing stronger and left determined to acquire class specialties and carefully chosen skills before the attack.

• Li Si recalled that he would be killed at the Fies Kingdom’s Sacred Festival, though the reason for the assassination had never been discovered.

• Li Si inspected his status and found that he was a level 30 Novice Mage with a Legendary-level All-Rounder talent.
• He reasoned that learning too many class skills would leave him without enough experience to raise their levels, but that class specialties could provide powerful passive benefits without leveling.
• Li Si decided to focus on obtaining specialties from multiple classes and use his previous-life knowledge to grow stronger.

Li Si Kane set out to claim a powerful Mage specialty and found Bobaka’s hidden arcane notes in the Royal Library. Studying them granted him Arcane Mind, replacing his weaker Magic Energy Thinking specialty.

• Joyce reported that the family earned about 7,500 gold coins annually and spent about 4,800 on upkeep and noble obligations.
• Joyce told Li Si that the family had only 500 gold coins left after expenses because Li Si had bought expensive materials for magical research.

He planned to pursue the Proficiency in All Weapons specialty while studying arcane arts, but still lacked a clear way to avert his death in the coming kingdom storyline.

• Li Si learned that he had only 500 Gold Coins available and ordered Joyce to prepare 300 Gold Coins and clear a warehouse on Beilei Street.

• Li Si worried about the danger awaiting him in more than three months and resolved to keep a low profile when going out.

• Li Si suspected Ya Er’s aristocratic manners, callused hands, and Arsen Hardt’s deference meant she had an unusual identity.
• Arsen Hardt escorted Ya Er away as she talked about Li Si and the Golden Silk Shrimp Balls he had promised to make.

Li Si received an invitation to visit the Fiss Royal Magic Academy’s Fifth Magic Workshop, then challenged his guard Di Sen to a sparring match.

• Li Si threw his azure fireball away from the group, and its blast left a large crater that frightened Di Sen, Welf, and Bill.
