It glowed with a soft and authoritative golden light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around the table sat the remaining core officers of Vanguard’s Legacy. They held expensive digital goblets of wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just five minutes ago, Silas had spent fifty thousand Veridian credits to purchase a server-wide announcement token.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had broadcasted the First Kill of his guild of a Silver-tier dungeon boss, a massive spider matriarch, across the entire game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a calculated marketing move. It was meant to tell the millions of terrified players in Overture that Vanguard’s Legacy was the undisputed powerhouse of the new cycle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the trumpets sounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden text of the death of the Phantom Chimera Emperor had violently overwritten the announcement of Silas in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The name ’Dan’ was currently burned into the vision of every single player on the server.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silas stared out the massive bay window of the guildhall and looked up at the fading golden letters. His eye twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A Titan,\" one of the officers muttered. He stared at his system interface in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is... that is not possible. The highest level player in our entire alliance is fourteen. How do you kill a Titan at Level 14?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silas didn’t say a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slowly raised his fist and slammed it down onto the heavy oak table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impact didn’t just rattle the wine goblets. It cracked the solid wood straight down the middle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir,\" another officer said nervously. He scrolled frantically through the global forums projected from his wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The regional chats are going completely insane. The Veridian Alliance forums are crashing from the traffic. Rival nations are already mobilizing their intelligence networks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Black Dragon Syndicate of the Sakura Nation is putting bounties on information regarding this ’Dan’. The Oakhaven Apex Coalition is demanding to know if he belongs to us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He does not belong to us,\" Silas said. His voice was deadly quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It gets worse,\" a third officer chimed in and swallowed hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just got a ping from the respawn plaza. Thorne and Vargas did not log out because of a network error. They force-quit their capsules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone placed a public bounty on their heads for a Silver-grade weapon. Their own squads turned on them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silas slowly turned around to face the table. \"Who placed the bounty?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The officer hesitated. \"The players in the plaza are saying it was a solo guy. Name of Dan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The face of Silas went completely blank. He reached down and grabbed his heavy iron wine goblet. He hurled it across the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It shattered against the stone fireplace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Find him,\" Silas snarled. His carefully crafted PR persona completely dissolved into raw and ugly rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I do not care how many men it takes. I do not care how much gold it costs. You take every available squad in the beginner forest, and you grid-search every inch of the map until you find him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He killed my lieutenants. He stole my announcement. I want him camped until his capsule fries his brain. Do you understand me?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The officers scrambled to their feet. They practically fell over themselves to get to the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Guild Master!\" they chorused and bolted out of the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silas stood alone in the room. His chest was heaving. He looked down at the Aegis Blueprint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was supposed to be his ticket to absolute godhood. He was supposed to be the main character.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dan,\" Silas hissed the name like a curse. \"You are going to regret logging in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep underground, Dante was completely oblivious to the geopolitical meltdown occurring above him. He was staring at a mountain of glowing loot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Phantom Chimera Emperor had dissolved into a massive pile of items, raw crafting materials, and system-generated gold coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sheer volume of the loot was staggering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dante walked up to the pile. His boots crunched on the loose coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ignored the standard materials and reached straight for the two items radiating a blinding and unique light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first was a ring. It was forged from a dark metallic alloy that seemed to actively absorb the light around it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single pitch-black gemstone rested in the center. It swirled with what looked like miniature galaxies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dante picked it up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Item Appraised: Band of the Void-Walker]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Tier: Titan]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Type: Spatial Accessory]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Stats: +50 All Core Attributes.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Hidden Stats Unlocked: +100 Luck, +100 Intuition, +100 Charisma.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Passive 1 (Infinite Void): Upgrades the inventory capacity of the user from 50 slots to Infinite. Weight restrictions are permanently removed.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Passive 2 (Void Step): Movement speed increased by 30%. User leaves no physical footprints or ambient tracking data.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dante let out a low whistle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Zenith Protocol, inventory management was a nightmare. A standard player only had fifty slots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A stack of health potions took up one slot. A heavy broadsword took up three. Players were forced to leave valuable loot behind simply because they couldn’t carry it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Infinite inventory space broke the economy of the game entirely. He could strip-mine an entire dungeon and carry it all back to town in his pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slid the band onto his left index finger. The ring instantly resized itself and clamped securely onto his digit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A rush of cold energy shot up his arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately felt the hidden stats taking effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Intuition wasn’t just a number. It was a physical sensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt hyper-aware of the cavern around him. He could hear the faint dripping of water echoing from tunnels hundreds of yards away. He could sense the slight variations in air pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Luck stat was invisible, but in a game entirely dependent on drop rates and critical hit chances, an extra hundred points was absurd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dante opened his inventory interface. The standard 5x10 grid vanished. It was replaced by an endless scrolling black void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright then,\" Dante said. He casually waved his hand over the massive pile of Chimera loot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every single coin, every chunk of Titan-grade scales, and every rare bone fragment was instantly sucked into the void ring. The floor of the arena was swept completely clean in two seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knelt back down and picked up the second glowing item.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a heavy breastplate. It wasn’t made of traditional metal. It looked like it had been carved from a single piece of pure and condensed sunlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surface gleamed with a brilliant and polished gold. It was etched with intricate and ancient runes that pulsed with a warm energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Item Appraised: Sun-Forged Cuirass]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Tier: Gold]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Type: Heavy Armor (Chest)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Stats: +2,500 Physical Defense, +1,500 Magical Defense.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Passive 1 (Solar Core): Grants immunity to all common tier debuffs (Poison, Bleed, Slow).]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Passive 2 (Unyielding): If a single attack deals more than 50% of the Max HP of the user, the damage is instantly halved.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dante immediately unequipped his cheap beginner linen shirt. He tapped the breastplate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It digitized into a stream of golden light and seamlessly wrapped around his torso. It solidified into perfect-fitting armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was surprisingly light. It didn’t restrict his mobility in the slightest despite the massive defense stats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled up his character sheet to review the damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Name: Dan]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Level: 19]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Class: Warrior]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[HP: 6,100 \u002F 6,100]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Physical Defense: 2,800]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Magical Defense: 1,550]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a walking fortress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Between the [High-Grade Vitality Elixir] he had squeezed out of the merchant and the new Gold-grade armor, his survivability was practically guaranteed against anything in the beginner zones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with [Abyssal Cleave] and [Wrath of the Firebird], he hit harder than a localized natural disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dante stretched his arms to get a feel for the new armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad for day one,\" he said to the empty cavern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked around the ruined arena. The Phantom Chimera Emperor was gone. The void chains were shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was nothing left to kill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed to head back to the surface. He had an infinite inventory now, and the cronies of Silas were out there farming early-game resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was time to start intercepting Vanguard’s Legacy raiding parties and permanently relieving them of their hard-earned loot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dante turned toward the entrance of the cavern. He was ready to make the long trek back up the Whispering Chasm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he took his first step, he noticed something glowing in the dust where the Chimera had died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t seen it when he vacuumed up the loot pile. The system hadn’t registered it as a standard item drop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked over and brushed the dirt away with his new gauntlets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a small and circular crest made of a strange dark glass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was roughly the size of his palm. It glowed with an ominous and eclipse-like ring of silver light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t have an item box. There was no system prompt telling him what it was or what it did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dante frowned. His newly boosted Intuition stat was screaming at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air around the crest felt wrong. It felt heavy like the atmosphere right before a massive thunderstrike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached down and wrapped his fingers around the glass crest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he touched it, the entire cavern violently shuddered.\u003C\u002Fp>",1582,"2026-06-03T12:02:18.787Z","2026-06-03T12:02:25.060Z",1,"novelbin.me","c9ac6e5e6efce808fa625d5999d36d05a424366e63e9c3ff47958eb9c8e95148","started-with-a-10-000x-multiplier-in-a-game-worl-chapter-13","started-with-a-10-000x-multiplier-in-a-game-worl-chapter-11",109,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarted-with-a-10-000x-multiplier-in-a-game-worl-cover.jpg"]
