Chapter 2

At noon, the scorching sun was high in the sky.

Blue Star, Dragon Kingdom, Xuanjing City, First High School.

"The awakening ceremony is about to begin. All students, please prepare for awakening in order."

The voice from the broadcast station echoed all around.

The playground was bustling, with rows upon rows of students gathering here.

They gazed at the supreme awakening ceremony altar on the high platform.

Everyone was extremely nervous!

The awakening ceremony could make their lives soar to the sky.

But at the same time, it could also make them fall into the abyss.

Regardless, today would be the watershed of their lives.

Many years ago, games descended into the real world.

That day was known as Awakening Day.

Once people reached the age of eighteen, they could participate in the awakening ceremony.

By touching the Heavenly Stele, they could change classes and unlock their professional data panel.

Awakened ones could gain experience, attribute points, and skill scrolls by killing fierce beasts of ten thousand races and completing tasks.

Through this, they could level up, obtain equipment, learn skills, and constantly grow stronger!

The most powerful professionals could even move mountains and fill seas, shatter the void with a punch, walk through the air, and possess the power to twist the rules!

In the world, there were countless divine artifacts waiting for people to discover.

But humanity was not the only favored race.

Accompanying the descent were also a large number of heaven-covering fierce beasts and terrifying dungeons.

The Tower of Heavenly Silence, the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races, the Abyss of Death—countless challenges awaited humanity.

Humanity had to fight constantly to maintain the continuation of their bloodline!

"I announce that the 127th Awakening Ceremony of Xuanjing City First High School now officially begins!"

A loud voice spread throughout the school.

The noisy chatter of the students in the playground suddenly quieted down.

Amidst the gazes of everyone, the first student walked onto the high platform.

He placed his hand on the Awakening Heavenly Stele.

Suddenly, a pale purple magic pattern flickered, forming a phantom light that condensed into the shape of a blade of grass.

"Wang Qiang, class change successful!"

"Life profession, Planter!"

"Innate attribute, three stars!"

Below the stage, there was a flurry of whispers.

"The first student isn't a combat profession?"

"Our school's luck is a bit bad this year."

"Actually, it's not bad. His Planter profession is one of the more useful ones among life professions; his status won't be low in the future!"

"That's right, his innate attribute isn't low either; three stars is quite good."

"I'm really looking forward to my own profession..."

Several students whispered to each other below the stage.

Wang Qiang on the stage relaxed his brows and let out a long breath.

"Phew... thankfully, I'm satisfied!"

Wang Qiang didn't have high demands; as long as he had a profession, it was a success!

After all, once the awakening failed, one would be a non-professional, the lowest level of society, with no hope of promotion for a lifetime, and would have to work 14 hours a day!

One could imagine what kind of hellish life that was.

So even if he only awakened a life profession, he was satisfied.

In this world, professions are divided into two major categories!

Combat professions, such as Warrior, Swordsman, Mage, etc.

Life professions include Blacksmith, Tailor, Enchanter, Forger, and so on.

Although life professions are only auxiliary and their status is not as high as combatants.

They are able to guarantee logistics, such as forging weapons, enchanting armor, and making healing potions.

They are also an indispensable part of the human front line!

Regardless, as long as the profession awakening is successful, making a living is not a problem.

In addition to combat professions, there are also hidden professions.

Once awakened, one is bound to flourish in the future.

But these hidden professions are one in ten thousand; ordinary students can just think about it.

One student after another walked onto the high platform and placed their hands on the Awakening Heavenly Stele.

"Li Songyang, awakening successful, combat profession."

"Warrior, innate attribute two stars!"

"Qian Yu, awakening failed!"

"Song Likuang, combat profession."

"Berserker, innate four stars!"

"Yang Jun, life profession..."

A continuous stream of voices sounded from the high platform.

It was really... noisy.

In the crowd below the stage, a young man suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes!

His gaze was cold and sharp; he had a completely different temperament from the surrounding students!

Su Ming... had awakened.

His eyes trembled as he looked around blankly.

What is going on? Didn't I die in the Death Cave?

He found that the environment here was completely different from the Death Cave dungeon.

At the same time, it was somewhat familiar.

"Wait, this is... Xuanjing City First High School, my old school?" He was extremely shocked.

Today seems to be... Awakening Day?

A flood of memories surged into his heart, vivid and clear.

The shock in Su Ming’s heart was beyond words!

Could it be that he was reborn?

He raised his right hand.

He saw that on his index finger, there was a pitch-black ring!

Its texture was as cold as jade, and some ancient divine patterns were engraved on it.

Those patterns had already dimmed.

"God Ring of Reversal?"

He actually brought this divine artifact back to his high school days?

Su Ming’s heart was shaken.

"Could it be that the God Ring of Reversal can truly reshape the body and reverse the Great Dao of time..." he thought to himself.

He bit the tip of his tongue hard.

Tsk, a sour, numb pain, accompanied by the smell of blood, surged into his heart.

It was indeed real.

It was not a deathbed hallucination, nor was it a fantasy.

I, Su Ming... have returned.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the thousands of thoughts in his heart, and returned to calmness.

Others could not see the fluctuations in his heart.

"Since I have lived another life... I must rewrite all my regrets."

Su Ming’s eyes were cold, and he made a firm decision in his heart.

After the Awakening Day ended, the first thing he would do was to kill that pair of dogs, Zhang Tang and Ren Xiaoman, to vent his hatred!

In his previous life, they betrayed him, and it was precisely because of them that he ended up buried in the Death Cave!

Thinking of this, his gaze became extremely cold.

He glanced forward, at the queue of the next class.

Su Ming’s gaze locked onto those two people in the crowd like a hawk.

Ren Xiaoman, Su Ming’s "white moonlight" from his previous life; he had pursued her countless times in school, but she had always rejected him coldly, keeping him at a distance.

But in this life, Su Ming would never be a "lick-dog" again!

For her, there would only be pure killing intent!

[Host's killing intent has reached the critical value, system binding in progress!]

[Strongest Class Change God-Slaying System, binding successful!]

[Gift: one initial lottery draw!]

[Use it immediately?]

His expression was slightly startled.
