The world’s largest VRMMO, Conviction, was almost like a second world for humanity. It had integrated itself into the real world’s economy, with both corporations and individuals seeking their fortunes through the game.

In this game, Nie Yan prided himself in his Level 180 Thief. He could barely be considered among the top experts in the game. Though, that was the only thing he could take pride in. He was penniless and unable to advance in life; a situation he was forced into by the enemy of his father. If it weren’t for the little money he made by selling off items in Conviction, he would’ve barely been able to eat. In the end, he chose to settle his matters once and for all. He assassinated his father’s enemy. He lay dying shortly after being shot in the pursuit.

However, that wasn’t the end of his story. Instead, he awoke moments later to find that he had reincarnated into his past-self. Armed with his experience and knowledge of future events, he sets out to live his life anew.

Nie Yan anxiously watched the progress of the treasure chest opening, already at 78%. Almost there. If interrupted, it would all be for nothing.


The Water Demons seemed to have discovered Nie Yan, emitting shrill cries as piercing as shattered glass. Quickly, more Water Demons gathered around, about a dozen of them.


The treasure chest opening was at a critical moment now. Give him about seven or eight more seconds, and he could open the chest.


The Water Demons, like flies that smelled meat, quickly surrounded Nie Yan.


Finished. Nie Yan was about to pull his hand back, abandon opening the chest, and return to the boat when some commotion occurred on the water's surface.


At that moment, the Lost Ferryman rowed the boat right above Nie Yan. Seeing Nie Yan in danger, Xie Yao was anxious and flustered, moved her right hand, and a white orb appeared in her grip. She threw the orb into the water.
