Deep breaths...

  Deep breaths...

  Lucas had no idea what his current situation was. Not only had he transmigrated into the game "Epoch," but his game character could enter as well.

  However, it was normal for the game character to be able to enter.

  Fet it, no point ihinking.

  His character, E, was a max-level 120 powerhouse!

  With a max-level expert leading the way, his own level would soar rapidly. Plus, if anyone annoyed him iure, he could just bring out the big guns to put them in their pce.

  In this world, there weren't many who could stand up to a fully maxed-out Erion.

  Haha...

  Lucas stood with his hands on his hips atop the clock tower, wanting to ugh heartily and mock the whole city as trash.

  But then he remembered something and stopped ughing.

  E's existence was limited by time. At level 120, he could only maintain it for 10 seds, and at level 100, only for 10 minutes.

  And then it would take a whole day to recharge.

  Lucas, in E's body, stood ihe clock tower, pnning how to enhance his real body's power.

  To survive in this world, one must tinuously grow stronger.

  After searg for a long time without finding any instrus or prompts for leveling up his real body, Lucas could only seek solutions within the power system of "Epoch."

  The power system in "Epoch" was vast and incredibly plex.

  Broadly, it could be divided into:

  Magiodificatioraordinary Mutation, Meics, a Arts.

  Each of these five major categories was further divided into several or even dozens of subcategories.

  Moreover, there were no clear boundaries between these power systems, and mixing them could produce tless power binations.

  Shelley beloo Extraordinary Mutation, a boratory product of crossbreediween humans and the supernatural creature Medusa.

  Zane was into Body Modification, with his two meical arms being the result of meical achievements.

  As for Lucas's game character, E, it enpassed all five major power categories.

  But which power system should his real body start with?

  Actually, Lucas didn't have many choices.

  Mages o start training their magical power from a young age. Given Lucas's current age, it was a bit too te to start learning magic.

  Body Modification has immediate effects. If you want tthen a part, you repce it, and it bees strong. Lucas even repced E's heart with aal fusioor in the game.

  But in the game, you could repything at will, and if it failed, you'd just respawn, at most losing some materials. Lucas wasn't about to risk his own body like that, so he dismissed this option for now.

  Extraordinary Mutation, if it causes reje, is even more dangerous than Body Modification.

  Many infants had died before one Shelley was successfully cultivated, and even then, it was a defective product.

  Meics, whether steam teology or alchemy, Lucas knew nothing about, so this option was also temporarily off the table.

  Finally, the only thi for Lucas was Secret Arts.

  Secret Arts is a way to gain power through specific rituals and sacrifices. Low-level Secret Arts grant skills.

  High-level Secret Arts bestow some a bloodlines.

  Erion's enhanced bloodline: Wings of Time and Space, was obtaihrough a ritual and sacrifice to the Elf Lranting him a super bloodline.

  Lucas had a strong i in these Secret Arts that allowed oo gain power effortlessly.

  tally, he had a lot of Secret Arts texts saved in his "Epoch" strategy guides.

  Some of these guides included ways to obtain top-tier bloodlines.

  However, the sacrifices required for top-tier bloodlines were also top-tier.

  Lucas opened E's iory.

  It was filled with various potions, red bottles, blue bottles, and dozens of different status-enhang elixirs.

  There were also on tools and ons. But there were no materials for perf Secret Arts.

  All the materials, equipment, and potions were stored in the warehouse.

  And the warehouse in Seawall District was located at...

  Lucas opehe map of Seawall Distrid found where the warehouse should be.

  Warehouse 35 in Windshield Alley art of a harbor warehouse district. Upoering, he o find the warehouse manager, Ron.

  Talking to Ron would allow him to store arieve game items. So, now it was time to head to Windshield Alley and find Ron.

  If he could locate the items he had stored in the game, his real body would undoubtedly soar in power.

  Find the virtual teleport anchor to Windshield Alley and... Teleport.

  Lucas appeared on the rooftop of a building.

  Having a virtual teleport anchor was ve, saving a lot of travel time. Unfortunately, the virtual teleport anchors could only be used by Erion; his real body couldn't evehem.

  Standing high up, he judged the dire and located Windbreak Alley.

  Let's go...

  Thud! Lucas stumbled forward and fell face-first into the ground.

  Darn, there was a height differeween his real body and E, so the stride and step distance were different.

  Walking in Erion's stride with his real body's habits, it was no wonder he tripped.

  Sigh...

  When pyers create game characters, some treat them as aension of themselves for immersion, while others treat them as a way to fulfill their fantasies.

  It's all personal preference. Lucas beloo the tter.

  He never expected that his beautiful character would one day bee his... avatar.

  Now, with the body structure different, he really o adapt.

  Lucas got up from the ground, first doing a set of calisthenics, then jogging and jumping in pce.

  He sloted to the new body and the power it held, which he had ruly experienced.

  He could feel the energy stored in E's body, like a nuclear bomb, and once fully unleashed, it would be devastating.

  And the intetle lust, influenced by the fierce battle songs in his bloodline.

  Breathing out slowly, Lucas, now warmed up, stood at the edge of the rooftop. Lightly leaping forward, his figure became a faint blur as he dashed out.

  Windshield Alley was near Seaort's docks, and through there, one could ehe harbor's warehouse district.

  The night was deep.

  The warehouse district was closed, with security guards on duty at the gatehouse, and guards patrolling the ste area periodically.

  When Lucas arrived at the warehouse district gate, he saw a guard smoking outside the booth.

  "Excuse me, where I find Ron?"

  The smoking guard was startled. Someone had walked up behind him unnoticed. If it had been an assassin, his head would likely have been twisted off.

  Remembering a colleague who had been assassinated a few days ago, the guard immediately drew a knife from his waist.

  Turning around, he saw standing in front of him... an elf.

  And a very, very beautiful elf.

  The guard held the knife in front of him, warily asking the elf, "Who are you?"

  Seeing the guard so nervous, Lucas raised his hands to show he meant no harm, even giving a friendly smile.

  "I'm E. I'm here to retrieve items I stored with Ron."
