The Strongest War God Reincarnation
start from the beginning
In the middle of the night. In the upscale area of Green Bamboo, Jin Hai City.
Shi Feng held the document folder while sitting quietly on the leather sofa. Gazing at the pool outside through the French window, Shi Feng was filled with frustration and unwillingness.
He was the captain of [Shadow], one of the top four gaming Workshops of Jin Hai City. He had led a guild consisting of tens of thousands of people. Moreover, he was a renowned expert of Jin Hai City; he was a Sword Witch. However, now the only thing he could do was to drink his sorrow inside his house.
Ten years, he spent playing games.
Ten years, he had fought in a blood-soaked battle.
He experienced countless trials and sufferings. Under his leadership, Shadow managed to establish ten City States in <>. They were finally able to rival a First-rate Guild. However, before he could enjoy that endless glory, one document had turned everything into smoke; once it was gone, it would never return.
Shi Feng had never expected his efforts for ten years would only be in vain. He sacrificed so much just for the game, however, all he did was pave the way for others to the end. All of this culminated because he was against Shadow's decision to join the Super-Guild, [World Dominators]. Not even until the next day, Lan Hua Financial Group gave him their answer. He had to wipe out his Level 200 Sword King, the account he had spent ten years on blood and sweat, and to collect his repayment checks from the finance department.
All he received was 5,000,000 Credits and one mansion. When compared to the ten established City States within the money-making virtual kingdom, it could not even be considered a drop in the ocean.
Shi Feng thought about how much he contributed to Shadow. He thought about how his efforts had turned Lan Hua Group into a large financial group. Then, he thought about how they still threw it away, as if he was no different from trash; shi Feng swore he would take revenge for their actions.
“I'm not going to let this go. At worst, I'll just start over.
Shi Fengs eyes shone with confidence and determination; his hands tore the termination of the contract into small pieces. Grabbing a bottle of wine from the table, he took a few sips.
Even if he no longer had the Sword King account, even if he no longer had the support of his team, the skills and knowledge he gained from the game would not betray him. As long as his skill remained, he could still rise once more within the God Region; he could rebuild his own virtual kingdom.
Early morning. The sun just came up.
On! On! On!
The phone alarm kept ringing.
Shi Feng woke up irritated. He helplessly grabbed his phone by the bedside; the effects of yesterday's drinking still loomed over him.
"Hi how are you?"
“Sister Feng, it's me, Blackie. You still ask what's up? Don't we agree to be professional gamers? Shadow Workshop is recruiting at our school today. Didn't you always want to be a core member of Shadow?”
Shi Feng was a little confused.
Lan Hua Financial Group had just fired him, so why did he attend the Shadow examination?
“Sister Feng? Brother Feng? Can you hear me? They're testing ten o'clock. If you are not fast, you will not succeed!”
“Blackie, stop joking; I just got fired from Shadow.”
"Fired? Brother Feng, how much did you drink yesterday? Even now, you still haven't woken up? How could you be fired if Shadow had not even recruited anyone until now? All right, come quickly.”
Blackie had disconnected the call before Shi Feng could reply.
When Shi Feng looked at his phone confusedly, he discovered that this old and broken iPhone 6 was not his phone. The phone is the latest iPhone 12.
Immediately, Shi Feng inspected his surroundings.
What he saw was a messy room, no more than fifteen square meters. All around, there are books on game strategy. In the corner of the room, on the study table, there is a very old-fashioned laptop. Inside the closet near the wall, there was a pile of messy clothes. Inside the closet, there was a mirror; a mirror that was currently showing a familiar face.
Shi Feng jumped in shock upon seeing this extremely familiar face.
“How do I become young back?” Shi Feng immediately walked towards the mirror. Only after looking into the mirror, at the reflections shown on it, repeatedly, did Shi Feng ensure that he indeed became young again.
She slept in her luxurious and spacious room yesterday but now she was in this broken place after waking up. Not only that, he was also young again.
Shi Feng could still recall some memories of this place. He lived here ten years ago. For more than six months, Shi Feng rented this place reluctantly, all so that he could play God's Domain while also lecturing. Only after he had earned some money in the God's Domain did he rent a large condo.
Shi Feng thought back to those difficult years. His family was not in good condition at the time. In order for Shi Feng to enter university, his parents had accumulated a certain amount of debt. Even so, Shi Fengs parents still made sure to send him sufficient living expenses each month, enduring the suffering, in return.
Shi Feng wholeheartedly wanted to change the state of his family. However, finding a high-paying job while the streets were filled with university graduates was extremely difficult; so he thought of a very profitable Virtual Reality game. Setting professional gamers as his goal, he even bought a Virtual Gaming Helmet, practicing diligently in the game to improve his skills.
..
During that time, bread and instant noodles become daily meals. To save money, she also avoids participating in social gatherings held by her classmates, causing her to become invisible in her class. Boys will look at her with disdain, while girls will distance themselves from her. Every time Shi Feng went shopping for glass noodles, his wallet would have no more than 10 Credits. He did not even dare to buy a ham sausage that cost only one Pulse. Unfortunately, the female saleswoman there offered him ham sausage at a discount. However, the feeling of his empty wallet made Shi Feng refuse very reluctantly.
"Did someone prank me?"
Shi Feng looked at his younger self through the mirror and familiar surroundings. Shi Feng could not help but shake his head, denying such a conclusion.
Even America, as the most advanced country in the world, does not have such a rejuvenating technology. Besides, who would make such a joke with such a poor old uncle like him?
Shi Feng looked at the time on his phone.
19-adr-2129.
"Don't tell me I've been reincarnated?" Shi Fengs face revealed a bitter smile.
He remembered today the 5th of August, the year 2139. It can't be April 2129, the year he was in college.
Shi Feng shook his head, trying to wake himself up. However, deep down, he still held a thread of hope, wishing he could reincarnate, back to ten years ago. He walked towards the table, turned on the laptop.
Even if the time on his phone could be faked, the information on the internet definitely could not.
After browsing the web for a few minutes…
“I have truly been reincarnated! Did I really go back ten years? Shi Feng sternly stared at the news report of Gods Domain, emotional tears streaming from the corner of his eyes.
Shi Fengs feelings were hard to describe at that moment. He felt regret, sadness, and joy.
It was as if everything before him was just a dream.
Nonetheless, the chirping of insects and the cold wind blowing from the AC said otherwise, that everything was real.
Looking at his cell phone, the family photo he took while entering university, Shi Feng never realized that his parents were white-haired. The corner of his mother's eyes even had wrinkles. They were no longer as lively as before; they were really old now.
A year and a half had passed since the God's Domain was released when Shi Feng noticed how old his parents were. Heavy debts, overwork, and stress caused both parents to fall ill, seriously ill. Healing them required millions of Credits but, during that time, Shi Feng was merely a squad captain in Shadow. The money he earned was far from enough to pay such an expensive fee.
Shi Feng tried everything to raise enough money, yet it was still not enough. Even with trying his hardest, Shi Fengs parents still abandoned him a few months later.
In his previous life, he failed to take good care of his parents. How could he know about pain and suffering?
After Shi Feng earned millions of Credits, this pain remained in Shi Fengs heart for good.
He would never have thought fate would play such a joke on him. He suddenly returned to the starting point, restarting from zero.
"Big! This is too great! Ha ha! Since I have reincarnated, I have to change everything. I will get enough money to cure mom and dad and I will let them live without worry.” Shi Feng secretly swore to himself as he wiped away the tears.
Just as Shi Feng was planning his future, Blackie's call rang again, continuing to urge Shi Feng to immediately go to university for the exam.
However, Shi Feng was in no hurry. He dressed casually, tidied himself up before heading to Jin Hai University.
He was very familiar with Shadow.
Shi Feng still remembered. While he was in college, Lan Hua Group's precious son, Lan Hailong, started Shadow Workshop to enter the God's Domain. Lan Hailong also invested considerable funds for the recruitment of Jin Hai University's student experts. Shi Feng participated in the Shadow examination at that moment, successfully becoming a core member of the Workshop; whereas Blackie became an outside member. Shi Feng felt happy for some time after that incident.
After three years of being under Shi Fengs leadership, the Shadow Workshop allowed the Lan Hua Group to profit greatly from Gods Domain, quickly becoming a large financial group. However, Shi Feng would never have thought that Lan Hailong would be the one to fire him, personally.
Since he had reincarnated, he had an absolute advantage in Gods Domain that no one else had. Naturally, he would not join Shadow to become a tool that benefited others. He wanted to take a different path; a path in which he fought not for others, but for himself. He wanted to eliminate the need for his parents to send him living expenses. He wanted to repay all the debts they had accumulated. To do that, he wants to venture out, start his own Workshop, start his own company, and build his own virtual empire.
As soon as Shi Feng arrived at the 1st Teaching Block, he saw a thin and tall figure in front of the building. The tanned-skinned youth paced the hallway in panic; this person was Blackie.
“Sister Feng, you finally decided to appear. Fortunately, the registration has not been closed, so let's hunt for the list.” Blackie said anxiously after seeing Shi Feng.
Shi Feng shook his head, seriously saying, “Blackie, I did not join Shadow; I will open my own Workshop. Will you join me?"
Blackie was someone Shi Feng had met in other Virtual Reality games and the first one had quite good skills. The two of them had faced many challenges together and they were no different from true brothers at this moment. During their time working together in Shadow, Blackie showed exceptional talent in administration, even though he had no gaming talent. He managed the hundred thousand Guild members clearly and regularly. If Shi Feng had Blackie's help this time around, his plan would have been a step ahead. However, in any case, he would respect Blackie's decision. It was because Shi Feng had nothing right now, and the state of the Blackie family was not so good either. Blackie simply chose to become a professional gamer and joined Shadow to earn some Credits for living expenses.
Blackie gawked at Shi Fengs words, lowering his head in silence. It was too sudden. Not only that, the Shi Feng she saw today felt different. Unlike his usual impatient attitude, Shi Feng was currently giving off an unshakable and confident aura.
After a full minute, Blackie raised his head to look at Shi Feng.
“Brother Feng, stop talking nonsense. Do you know how much a Virtual Gaming Helmet costs? That's 8,000 credits. You also need at least six people to start the Workshop. What about work, salary, and more? The initial funds alone would require seventy to eighty thousand. There is also continued investment. That's a lot of credit. Do you have that much Credit now? Blackie was well aware of Shi Fengs state. He knew Shi Fengs household was not wealthy, so he wanted to persuade Shi Feng away from this kind of crazy thinking.
"You're right. Right now, I don't even have the Credits for the Gods Domain Virtual Game Helmet. Shi Feng nodded as a receipt. As Blackie said. Even just seventy to eighty thousand was considered a small amount. Shi Feng remembered Lan Hailong had spent over 5,000,000 Credits for the hundred-man Workshop he had recruited. He also spent more in the later stages to improve the quality and strength of the Workshop.
“Because it is, rather than taking risks, isn't it safer to join Shadow? At the very least, Shadow can give us Virtual Gaming Helmets. Otherwise, forget about being a professional player; we won't even be able to play that game.” Seeing that Shi Feng understood the crux of the matter, Blackie heaved a sigh of relief as he pulled Shi Feng into the teaching block.
Shi Feng shook Blackie's hand, staring intently at Blackie before saying in a grim tone, “I still plan on starting my own Lokakaryaku. I don't want to be controlled by anyone else. So, Blackie, will you join me?”
Shi Feng would not force Blackie because he did not have any guarantees. He also could not reveal the secret that he had reincarnated. He could only hope that Blackie would believe him.
Seeing Shi Fengs serious expression, Blackie felt Shi Feng acting strangely today. This is madness. Everyone knows you cannot make money during the initial period of virtual gaming. Did Shi Feng have a way to make money in Gods Domain? Even if they make money, it will happen after a few months. They don't have much time to waste.
After hesitating for some time, Blackie reluctantly replied, “I understand. You're boss. I'll start the Workshop with you, but what about the Virtual Game Helmet? We can't play games without them, right?”
Shi Fengs tensed brows immediately loosened as he happily patted Blackie on the shoulder, saying, “Now this is my good brother! Don't worry about the gaming helmet. I remember that God's Domain had a trial period available to students. Every university has a distribution point and, as long as you show them the identity of your students, then for ten days you can get a gaming helmet for free. Let's go and see.”
"What do we do after ten days?" Blackie's tanned face turned pale, suddenly feeling his future pitch-black. Why should he trust Shi Feng? Could it be Shi Fengs confidence and steadiness? There would be no problem exploring together with Shi Feng, right?
What can you do with ten days in Gods Domain?
They would definitely miss the recruitment period of the Workshop after ten days. In the end, they still have to buy the gaming helmet, but where does the money come from?
Even a professional gamer with a group would not be able to earn 16,000 Credits within ten days of the opening of God's Domain.
“Send money problems to me.”
Shi Feng revealed a confident smile as he patted Blackie on the shoulder.
Earning 16,000 Credits in ten days was indeed pure fantasy. However, he had his soul as a reincarnated person. No matter what the challenge was, he would break through everything and the release of the God's Domain was the starting point of his awakening.
Following which, Shi Feng brought Blackie to retrieve the virtual gaming helmet. He then used all his money to buy two large boxes of instant noodles, putting them under the table in his rented house. They were enough to last for more than ten days. After briefing Blackie about some things in Gods Domain, Shi Feng quietly waited for the opening of Gods Domain.
April 25th, 9pm. Inside the dark and silent room, a few flashes of light flickered alive.
Shi Feng lay on his bed, gently pressing the start button while closing his eyes.
"God Domain, I'm coming."
