Arc 6: Holographic Tour

A fierce battle ensued between the gods, easily tearing through space and putting the surrounding area on the brink of constant fragmentation.

Even a sage, if they touched such spatial rifts, would suffer severe injuries. Only the two of them could disregard it.

Initially, the fight was evenly matched, but the projection of Yumir here was just a clone and soon approached collapse. He gritted his teeth, tearing the space beside him.

In that moment, Yumir's main body also entered this place through that space, continuing to engage with Bryce.

However, not being the protagonist and not having fully obtained the power of the God of Light, surrounded by the forces of darkness, Yumir quickly found himself at a disadvantage.

The next moment, Yumir was hit by the opponent's attack, his body shattered, and blood spewed from his mouth.

...If this continued, he would fall once again, dying here.

And this time, waking up might be uncertain, not knowing if there would be a day of awakening.

Seizing this moment, Bryce condensed the power of darkness into a long sword, piercing through Yumir's chest. A powerful force of destruction scattered within Yumir's body, formed by the light powers he had gathered.

Shao Ci stood there for a while, slowly coming back to his senses, witnessing this scene.

In the next moment, he felt his body growing cold.

Yumir took a few steps back, blood staining his once pure robe, and the wings on his back destroyed by the power of darkness. He turned his head, silver eyes looking at Shao Ci, with a hint of a smile.

Shao Ci was somewhat stunned.

"I will... wait for you..." Yumir said, closing his eyes.

In the next moment, his body gradually dissipated into light points.

With the remaining power, he could control his soul. If he prematurely ended everything now, he could still take Shao Ci with him.

As Yumir's body dissipated, a powerful force swept from the original location. Beysis immediately embraced Shao Ci, using the power of darkness to shield them from this force.

However, Shao Ci felt a sharp pain in his chest, and blood continuously poured from his mouth.

Yes, he and Yumir had a symbiotic magic, so... if Yumir died, he wouldn't survive either.

After everything settled down, the surrounding ground was almost entirely destroyed, and this mountain peak looked like it had been cut in half.

It was fortunate that this place was relatively remote; otherwise, under such power, who knows how many people would have met their demise.

【The original text: The male lead Bryce has reached the pinnacle of life, the completion of the mission meets the qualifying standard, activate the teleportation channel, proceed to the next world.】

The system said this, and Shao Ci completely lost consciousness.

---------

In a daze, memories of this world's setting and the original host flooded Shao Ci's mind.

This world is a holographic online game novel set in a future interstellar context.

In this world, psychic power is a crucial existence, determining the future and fortunes of many individuals.

Playing holographic online games is an essential way to enhance psychic power in this world. Many exams and graduations in academies are even related to this holographic online game.

The original male lead, Jiang Qinghan, is the illegitimate son of the head of a prominent family. His mother died after giving birth to him, and despite being taken back to the family afterward, he faced various humiliations from others in the family.

However, after entering the holographic online game, he found himself excelling. Despite his initially average psychic power, it grew rapidly.

Jiang Qinghan's personality was somewhat twisted, with questionable values. In the middle of the story, he plotted against his elder brother, who was the heir to the family, in a dungeon, successfully causing mental damage to him.

In this world, mental damage is akin to a disability. The family promptly gave up on the damaged heir and chose Jiang Qinghan, whose psychic power was growing stronger, as the successor.

Unsatisfied, Jiang Qinghan's goal was to destroy the family. Such a crazy idea, if known by others, would undoubtedly be considered madness. However, he indeed achieved it later on.

Everything would have been fine if it weren't for... Shao Ci reincarnating as the elder brother of the original male lead. Moreover, he arrived directly after his psychic power was ruined!

The reason Jiang Qinghan has a different surname from Shao Ci is that he chose his mother's surname. Later on, it was revealed that his mother came from an even more prestigious background, adding another layer to the story. Eventually, he returns to the powerful family for a face-off.

The antagonist in this world is the central computer controlling all artificial intelligence in the empire. Over the long years, it gained consciousness and developed a desire to destroy humanity.

When Shao Ci saw this, he felt the central computer was unfairly relegated to the role of an antagonist boss given its background.

Of course, the ending sees Jiang Qinghan successfully destroying the central computer and saving the world, propelling him to the pinnacle of his life.

As for Shao Ci and the Shao family... it's merely the difference between cannon fodder and a cannon fodder family.

The place where Shao Ci currently finds himself is an extremely simple and narrow room, equipped with basic furniture that looks quite futuristic.

Since the original host's psychic power was damaged, his treatment had drastically declined, facing various ostracisms within the family, especially since many younger cousins posed as his competitors.

The original host's father is the type of scumbag who likes to flirt around, and his only virtue is having a handsome face. The original host's mother, feeling that there's no future for her son after he showed no talent, directly divorced and left the Shao family.

Shao Ci: "..." Are these really my biological parents?

Shao Ci doesn't even have a place to stay and is driven to live in the school dormitory.

As mentioned in the original plot, the original host failed the year-end test, was expelled from school, and ended up in a miserable state. No one remembered he was once a talented genius with a promising future.

Fortunately, Shao Ci may lack many things, but he has a lot of psychic power, so he doesn't feel afraid.

Although, due to his current identity, it seems like it would be challenging to build a good relationship with the original male lead, Jiang Qinghan.

The only thing to worry about is that this world has only one holographic online game (that's how the author set it, anyway), and this game was actually developed to study and enhance psychic power.

To stimulate psychic power for strength improvement, the game consists of various terrifying and supernatural mini-dungeons, not the fantasy or martial arts background that Shao Ci used to think about in online game novels.

Shao Ci: "...... QAQ" Save me! This is seriously scary lore, huh!
