Traveling through the game world, starting out as a third-rate villain

“So weak…” I stared at the figure reflected in the mirror.

After coming out of the bathroom and treating your wounds, you can calm down and evaluate your current condition.

Standing in front of the mirror, I couldn't help but carefully examine my appearance. The me in the mirror was covered with scars and my skin was pale, which reminded me of the difficult times I had gone through.

In a way, my face and skin have always been like this. My sister and I both have fair skin. I am glad that I am different from other people my age, and that I am physically weak and spend most of my time alone.

However, now that I have looked closely, I have discovered a problem. As a third-rate villain...why can my appearance be comparable to that of the protagonist?

My face rarely appears in the game. If players pay attention to the side quest where I am bullied, they can see my face, but even then, Morse's face is mostly covered.

It also reminded me of why I was the target of bullying. In a world where beautiful things are always coveted and admired by others, having such a trait can be a double-edged sword.

What was seen as a blessing can easily turn into a curse if there is no power to protect it.

It is a cruel irony to be blessed with physical beauty without the power to protect yourself. I have learned this lesson firsthand and have suffered because of my appearance.

To some extent, this is human nature. If you can't have it, no one else can have it.

Morse Scott's body possessed an otherworldly beauty, his pale silver skin shone softly like moonlight, his hair was as black as the night sky, his bangs went beyond his eyebrows, trying to cover his face, giving him a sense of mystery.

The violet pupils, deep and mysterious, carry a cosmic aura, looking transcendent.

I was of relatively average height, but my lean and agile frame told the story of years of rigorous training, but even that wasn’t enough to mask a frail body.

After assessing my physical condition, I went to my desk.

Although the theme of the game is hunter, the era in the game is the same as reality. The tablet in front of you is the best proof.

Because Acadia Hunter College is a high-quality and well-funded institution, they provide students with the necessary learning devices, and this tablet and the smartwatch on my wrist are one of them.

"Let me check my ranking first." I thought, and opened the tablet in front of me. On the screen, I could see my photo and my student information.

I nodded as I looked at the panel in front of me. It was just as I remembered.

2450/2450, ranked last. To some extent, this is why they dare to bully me.

Looking back on my memories as Morse now, one emotional flaw that stands out is my inability to control my emotions.

Emotions are an integral part of our lives. However, they can either brighten our lives or darken them.

Especially the feeling of guilt, the reason why Morse never fought against the abuser in the past was because he blamed himself for his sister's death. Therefore, he thought that since he was guilty, it was normal to feel the pain brought to him by those people.

But this is not true. Even if Morse was responsible for our sister's death, those who committed the violence have no right to judge or punish us. Only my sister has that right.

As a man full of revenge, I cannot waste time on such foolish things. How dare I wallow in guilt while her blood is still flowing on the ground? How can I let myself be trampled underfoot!

"I will never allow this to happen again." I thought, raising my arm. The scar on my arm was clearly visible, which reminded me of the last time I cut my wrist. Next time, I will make you pay the price.

I clenched my fists, sat on my bed and began to form a plan in my head while shaking off that emotional deficit.

"First and foremost, I need to fix this talent limit issue. My talent cap is set at 4, and it's holding me back from growing.

However, the concept of talent limitations is not as simple as it seems.

The term talent limit does not mean that all attributes are limited to the same level. Instead, it represents the average of all attributes. For example, a mage's talent limit is 5, and his mana and magicka capacity may reach 7, but this will also make his other attributes lower than 5 to share the limit.

Initially, a person's talent ceiling has little impact on competition with others, but as a person approaches his or her talent ceiling, the gap between his or her peers and himself or herself becomes increasingly apparent.

However, my physical data has long stopped improving, which means that I have reached the limit of my physical strength. But this also means that my mana and magic capacity have a higher talent ceiling.

"Although this is the initial setting, it doesn't mean it can't be improved." I muttered to myself.

As one of the top RPGs in the industry, the game offers content to enhance your talents, and there are several ways to achieve this goal.

One of them is very suitable for my situation - 'Infinite Apple'. This legendary fruit can remove the talent limit of a person, and the talent cap no longer exists. But this powerful item will not appear at the beginning of the game, it will appear in the later stage of the game, in a certain dungeon, when the player's attributes are already quite high.

Therefore, this solution is not feasible at present.

"However, there is another item that can temporarily solve this problem." I recalled the content of the game briefly, and my thoughts fell on an easter egg, which was like a hidden treasure that could enhance my physical strength in a short period of time.

'Life Essence'

This is a special essence extracted from an ancient tree. According to legend, using this rare substance can stimulate the hidden potential of the human body and push the body's limits to new heights.

“It’s not easy to get it though,” I mused, but that didn’t matter anyway.

With this in mind, I began to formulate a plan, mapping out the steps necessary to obtain this treasure…
