Dark forest, I'll form the head!

As Chen Ming made his choice, a milky white beam of light descended from the sky, engulfing him and making him disappear from his original spot.

At the same time, a series of world announcements popped up before all players.

[World Announcement: Congratulations to The Great Calamity Player for becoming the first Blue Star Civilization player to enter the main city area...] x10.

"Holy crap, is that real? The Great Calamity Player actually entered the main city area."

"No way, I'm only Level 6, and The Great Calamity Player is already Level 20, completed the advancement trial, and entered the main city area. The gap is too huge."

"My goodness, that's too fast."

"I feel like I'm playing the hell version of Eternal, while The Great Calamity Player is playing the speedrun version."

"The Great Calamity Player is awesome!"

"Congratulations to The Great Calamity Player for leaving theBeginner Village and heading to the main city area. The Dragon Soul Guild sends its congratulations."

"Congratulations to The Great Calamity Player for leaving theBeginner Village and heading to the main city area. The Sacred Alliance Guild sends its congratulations."

"Congratulations to The Great Calamity Player for leaving the main city area and heading to theBeginner Village. The Olympus Guild sends its congratulations."

Dense messages scrolled across the world chat channel.

Various guilds sent their congratulations... Meanwhile.

Chen Ming only felt his eyes blur, a violent dizziness washed over him, and the surrounding space began to shake wildly.

When he opened his eyes again, he had already arrived in a dilapidated small town.

[Ding dong, due to unknown force interference during the transmission, the transmission location deviated. You have been teleported to Black Wind Town near Myriad Beast City.]

[Ding dong, as the first Blue Star Civilization player to leave theBeginner Village, congratulations on receiving the reward - Pioneer. Title (Gold-tier).]

Looking at the prompt before him, Chen Ming was not surprised at all.

An accident with the teleportation array was a mandatory quest plot that every player would trigger when first entering the main city area.

To truly enter Myriad Beast City, one must cross the Dark Forest between Black Wind Town and Myriad Beast City.

The second profession book that Chen Ming had been longing for could also be obtained in this Dark Forest.

Thinking of this, Chen Ming quickly walked out of Black Wind Town.

As he walked, he opened his backpack and took out the title rewarded by the system.

[Pioneer. Title]

[Quality: Gold-tier.]

[Strength +10 points.]

[Agility +20 points.]

[Movement Speed: +45%.]

[Special Effect One: Each time a monster is killed, an additional 5% experience is gained.]

[Special Effect Two: Each time a monster is killed, there is a 1% chance for experience to be doubled.]

[Description: I will definitely walk ahead of everyone.]

...Good stuff!

Provides extra experience, and there's a chance for experience to be doubled.

Although the doubling chance is only 1%, Chen Ming can reinforce it.

[Ding dong, you activated the Forbidden Talent on the target [Pioneer. Title] and gained a Tier 3 reinforcement upgrade.]

[Congratulations on obtaining the item - ill form the head. Title (Epic-tier).]

[Ding dong, you activated the Forbidden Talent on the target [Pioneer. Title] and successfully enchanted a purple affix: Probability Doubled.]

[ill form the head. Title]

[Quality: Epic-tier.]

[Strength: +50 points.]

[Stamina: +50 points.]

[Agility: +50 points.]

[Intelligence: +50 points.]

[Spirit: +50 points.]

[Special Effect One: Each time a monster is killed, an additional 20% experience is gained.]

[Special Effect Two: Each time a monster is killed, there is a 5% chance for experience to be doubled, and a 1% chance for experience to be tenfold.]

[Special Effect Three: When you simultaneously wear: ill form the head. Title, I Will Form the Arm. Title, I Will Form the Leg. Title, I Will Form the Torso. Title, and I Will Form the Heart. Title, you will gain an additional buff: I Am Destiny.]

[Description: I am the head, the chosen one, and the unique one.]

...Although the name [ill form the head. Title] sounds a bit abstract, its effects are extremely powerful.

Moreover, it is a rare 'set' type title. Once fully collected, it can trigger the effect [I Am Destiny].

Although the specific ability of this effect is unclear, just by its name, it sounds extraordinary.

Chen Ming decisively put it on... [Current Location - Dark Forest Lv20～Lv40.]

Chen Ming looked up.

The boundless forest was enveloped in darkness, and all falling sunlight seemed to be swallowed by a mysterious force.

As the only path for players first entering the main city area to Myriad Beast City.

At this moment, outside the Dark Forest, a large number of players had gathered.

These players had various appearances, coming from different civilized races.

There were beast-kin players with animal features, elf players with extremely handsome appearances, and dwarf players who were barely over a meter tall...

As a gathering place for all civilized races in the universe, in "Eternal," you can see players of various races.

Of course, there were also humans from other civilizations among them.

After all, in the starry universe, humans are one of the top ten civilized races.

"Any brothers want to team up? The team is 3 out of 4, need a strong healer... Goblins, don't bother."

"Damn it, what did Goblins ever do to you? You always discriminate against us."

"Level 45 Great Warrior, leading a team to speedrun the Dark Forest, 10,000 gold coins per spot, guaranteed strength, departing when full."

"Don't miss out, selling various potions, cheap prices, guaranteed quality."

"Myriad Beast Alliance Guild recruiting new members, no restrictions on race, talent, or level, come join us as brothers, free Dark Forest clear available."

"Want a Goblin?"

"Sorry, Goblins get out."

...Noisy sounds echoed.

The Dark Forest is not only vast but also has a wide range of monster levels, making it difficult for players who have just entered the main city area to clear it alone.

Therefore, many 'veterans' would charge money to guide people through here.

Of course, Chen Ming naturally didn't need anyone to lead him.

After refusing a team invitation from a cat-eared girl of the Orc race, Chen Ming walked straight in.

One second it was a clear sky with a bright sun.

But the moment he entered the Dark Forest, the sky instantly became gloomy.

Eerie monster roars echoed deep within the forest.

Chen Ming gripped his longbow and advanced quickly.

"Little brother, alone? My team just has one spot left, and I'm in a hurry to get back to the city. It was originally 10,000 gold coins, but I'll give you a 10% discount. Want to join?"

A Level 40 warrior from the Dwarf Civilization, namedWall, suddenly called out to Chen Ming.

[Ding dong, player [Dwarf Association -Wall] has sent you a team invitation. Do you accept?]

"Sorry, I'm fine on my own."

Chen Ming decisively refused.

"Another arrogant newcomer who doesn't know his place. After dying a few times, he'll probably realize how dangerous this map is."

Wall muttered softly, said nothing more, turned around, and left with his team.

Chen Ming continued forward.

Soon, a ferocious, pitch-black wolf appeared before him.

[Dark Wolf]
