Cheat Awakening

The frost spread rapidly, encasing nearby rocks and cliffs in layers of shimmering ice. The golden barrier, though indestructible, now pulsed with strain. Cracks of light flickered across its surface, but they quickly sealed themselves, defying her efforts. The barrier stood firm, refusing to yield.

Which, of course, wasn't unexpected. After all, someone who could bring people back from the dead, kidnap trillions of monsters and individuals of all races from God knows how many universes, just to entertain himself by making them fight each other—how could a Tier Four water mage break a barrier created by such a being? If it could really break, then any random idiot in his game could easily challenge their authority, wouldn't they?

Maya seemed to realize this problem as well. Wiping the blood from her nose and lips, she sighed heavily in disappointment, removed her super-sexy armour, put away her staff, and slowly landed before the barrier, staring at it with a longing look. Just like a little girl who did all kinds of drama, in the end, she still couldn't convince her mother to buy her a premium dollhouse set.

Myne, who couldn't withstand Maya's ultimate attack and was blown away in the tsunami, finally surfaced miles away from the canyon entrance, gasping for icy cold water. He trembled, and his skin had turned blue because of coldness. After all, since Maya had used a combination of water and ice magic, the water was freezing cold. Anyone soaked in such water couldn't stop themselves from cursing Maya to death, and Myne was no exception.

He quickly threw a large fireball at a nearby tree and removed his wet clothes. After warming himself, he put on new clothes, finally breathing a sigh of relief. Only then did he return to Maya's side through the portal.

"Sis, how was it? Is there any way to get through this barrier?" Myne waited for a few minutes, watching Maya lose in thought. But seeing that she had no intention of returning to her senses, he finally interrupted her train of thought and asked.

"Myne, you little bastard! Why the hell didn't you tell me about this before when the entrance was still open?!" Maya opened her bloodshot eyes, grabbed his collar, and shook him like a rag doll, her voice laced with anger.

"Do you have any idea what kind of opportunity we missed? I'm f*cking searching for a way to find this goddamn dimensional creak for decades, so I can get an invitation to the Game of All Realms, but look at this! Just because you thought I would beat you for your own safety, you bastard didn't tell me about it!" Maya threw Myne to the ground, covered her forehead, and walked away while muttering something under her breath In a low voice.

"What is going on? Why is she behaving so strangely? Is that crazy place really so special? And what the hell is this Game of All Realms?" Myne, who had no idea what Maya was talking about, rubbed his head in confusion. But he knew this wasn't the time to think about such useless questions, now most important thing is to coax Maya. He quickly got up and caught up to Maya.

"Sis, wait a minute! It's not my fault! How the hell was I supposed to know that this place held such great importance for you? You've never even told me you were this damn powerful, let alone about other things!" Myne quickly came beside Maya, holding her hand so she couldn't run away, and complained with a pout, trying to appear pitiful to lighten her mood.

"Sigh, I know," Maya replied helplessly, rubbing her forehead with an annoyed expression. "I just needed someone to vent my anger. Don't take it to heart."

"Good, then if you don't mind, can you explain to me what the hell this dimensional creak and Game of All Realms are?" Myne, confirming that Maya's anger had subsided, quickly asked. After all, even super-powerful individuals like Tharnak and Morva had never heard of that place. Yet, his big sister, whom he had always underestimated, who seemed to becoming more and more mysterious with each passing day and seemed literally know about everything, is very aware of it. How could he not be curious?

"Well, the dimensional creak is actually just a trial ground for the Game of All Realms. People who enter or are summoned there must prove themselves before they can receive an invitation from the main servers. It's connected to multiple universes, countless worlds, and different timelines."

"This game was created by some mystical beings who were too disappointed by the fact that a handful of people always monopolized resources while the weak, majority never had a chance to advance at all in their entire life. So, they decided to give everyone a fair chance to change their destiny..."

"Looking at your expression, it seems you don't understand what I'm saying... Well, let's put it this way. Our world, the one we're currently in, is just a low-level world. Except for divine beasts, no matter how hard any human or other race tries, they can never advance beyond Tier 2. This is a fact."

"Not only because of insufficient resources here but also because the world's will itself has locked their advancement at the peak of Tier 2. Otherwise, if hundreds or thousands of Tier 3 or more powerful people started fighting in this world, the destruction alone would be enough to make the world suffer heavily."

"This is why when someone from another world invades our world, we become so helpless and have to rely on those idiotic divine beasts for protection. Even they are beaten many times and have to run to their mother with their tails between their legs for help. Fortunately, our world is in a special place, and a powerful protection barrier surrounds it for some reason, and no one above Tier 4 can enter here. Only Tier 5, the mother and creator of this world, can easily kill those outsiders; otherwise, we would have long ago become powerful forces' slaves."

Maya paused suddenly, and seeing that Myne wasn't looking satisfied and wanted to listen more, she took a deep breath and continued...

"Back to the point, so in order to give everyone a fair chance, those beings created a completely different dimension, a combination of countless worlds from low to higher levels. There, a person never has to worry about lacking resources to gain power or worry that someone would monopolize advancement methods."

"As long as you work hard enough, and if luck favours you and have a good talent, you can easily become powerful beyond your imagination. Of course, opportunity and risk always coexist. Although there are countless ways to gain power a person can imagine, the chance of dying is also very high. If you weren't careful, even an ant could kill you."

"About 40% of people die there because of the aftermath or accidents, either they are too curious for their own good or unlucky, and have to be where they shouldn't be."

"To tell the truth, I myself only know about that place from a friend of mine, who happened to hear about it from his elder brother, who luckily got an invitation, but before he could rise and shine, got killed by some random bandits. So even my friend only knows minor information."

"But after learning about it, I investigated and found that there is really such a place that exists, but its trial ground entrances were spawned randomly everywhere. They appeared and disappeared without any trace, making it extremely difficult to find. So I started searching for it for decades. I once was very close to getting in there, but sadly, until I reached there, it was blocked by the golden barrier like that one, and after three days, it disappeared, giving me no chance to get in at all."

"You might not know, but my strength has hit the bottleneck for nearly 20 years. If nothing unexpected happened, I could only eat and wait for my death, without any hope of advancement. This is why I am looking for it desperately."

Maya fell silent after saying that and started walking in the forest casually without any aim. She just wanted to be alone for some time, but sadly, Myne was holding her hand tightly with no intention of letting her alone. Even if she gave her a meaningful glance while trying to free her hand, he pretended that he didn't notice anything and continued to accompany her.

"Is there no way to get into it? Do you think if we have enough mana, I can be able to open a portal there? You know my skills are special, right?" Myne suddenly thought of something and asked with an excited expression.

"Come out from daydreaming. The Game of All Realms is in the centre of the multi-verse. And even if we gathered all the mana from our world, we couldn't be able to get out of our universe, let alone create a special space tunnel, break into multiple universes, and enter the centre of them, which might be tightly guarded by powerful beings," Maya without any hesitation poured cold water on Myne's fantasy. She had seen records of many powerful people who had thought about it, but in the end, no matter how hard they tried, they came to the conclusion that there was no shortcut to enter the Game of All Realms.
