This Life, I Will Be the Protagonist

Rita, having confirmed that this was indeed a World Graveyard, asked, "Are you sure it's only five days?"

Shadow.Q gave her a speechless look. "Yes, only five days. Just escort us to the most dangerous parts of the deep sea to search for it."

"Got it!" Rita put the World Graveyard away. "From now on, whenever you have something like this, come to me for a trade."

Shadow.Q shut off her game chat screen and asked, "So what exactly is this thing?"

Rita blinked. "Hmm?"

Shadow.Q pressed, "Can you tell us what this is?"

Rita gave a confused look. "Huh?"

Shadow.Q raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you worried about getting beaten?"

Rita grinned. "Nope."

"..." Shadow.Q glanced at the time—it was already 7:00 PM. She knew she wasn't getting anything else out of Rita tonight. "I'll come find you at 9:00 AM tomorrow."

"Alright, alright!" Rita immediately jumped up to see her off.

As Shadow.Q left, Rita couldn't help but give her a look that was full of irritation. Once she was gone, Rita sat down and took out all the World Graveyard items she had collected, arranging them neatly in a row on the table.

[5-Dot] [6-Dot] [7-Dot] [3-Character] [4-Character] [5-Character] [7-Character] [7-Character] [East Wind] [Red Dragon]

Nivalis curiously leaned in, asking, "What's going on? Is there a problem?"

Oh, there was definitely a problem! Rita pointed at the row of ten World Graveyard items and said, "When I received the 7-Character earlier, all of these in my inventory vibrated at once."

This was the first time such a thing had happened. Was it because she had collected all ten? Or was it something else—maybe the key had upgraded?

She separated the East Wind and Red Dragon cards and focused on the remaining eight. In an instant, they combined to form a new World's Grave Forest.

Previously, the World's Grave Forest was labeled as Wind Rising: World's Grave Forest·Key★★, with two skills—Legendary Prelude and War Horn.

But now, after adding two 7-Character items, the key upgraded, and a new skill appeared:

World's Grave Forest·Charge: World's Grave Forest·Key★★☆ (A necessary item to enter the World Battlefield)

Skill 1: Legendary Prelude: Upon entering the World Battlefield, you and your pets can unlock two divine talents. Skill 2: War Horn: Upon entering the World Battlefield, you and your pets can unlock three skills. Skill 3: Death Like Wind: When used in the World Battlefield, this skill allows you and your pets to ignore all obstacles and instantly return to the nearest safe zone. This can only be used once per divine game.

All three skills were incredibly powerful, but there was a downside—she wouldn't be able to bring any items with her.

She could split the two 7-Character items to bring in two items, but she was reluctant to part with Death Like Wind.

With Death Like Wind in hand, she could participate in the divine game on March 15. No matter how brutal the enemies, she could return to a safe zone and then leave the battlefield to restart... A useful escape mechanism.

Nivalis, on the other hand, fiddled with the items on the table, occasionally shaking her head in frustration, as if the situation felt tricky to her.

It was then that Rita recalled something—back when she was in Polar Day City, Mistblade had suddenly appeared in front of her, asking for a World Graveyard.

She stared at the row of World Graveyard items, deep in thought, wondering if they could sense other World Graveyard items.

According to the rules, World Graveyard had to circulate for the divine game to continue. For instance, when entering the World Battlefield, the ticket handed over would eventually return to the table, back to its original world. It would either be pursued or discovered by new players, much like when she found the World Graveyard deep beneath the ocean.

Kayden had once said that a World Graveyard would disappear if it wasn't used within 150 days. This was clearly meant to ensure the game continued, preventing players from hoarding World Graveyard items and stalling the game.

The moment the clock passed midnight, the sky seemed to rain down purple meteors—one after another, dungeon light barriers appeared over Blue Star!

Every player heard the system announcement:

[Game "Starsea: Rift of the Beasts" Updated] [Game 2.0 "Destruction: Prelude to War" Officially Online] [Arena of All Races Section Now Open!] [Honor Point Store Now Open!] [Detected Player Rita has officially entered ■■■■, Civilization Survival Rate Exceeds 1%, Server "Blue Star" Renamed to World Name "BS"]

Rita sighed.

The game kept privacy intact, but not perfectly. She didn't even need to check private chats to know that things had exploded. Not only Eclipse Vanguard and her lone wolf friends, but even SamuelRick had come rushing to investigate.

Rita didn't bother with that. Instead, she opened the Honor Point Store to see what goodies it held. Your next chapter awaits on My Virtual Library Empire

There were three main categories: Knowledge, Divine Gifts, and Luck.

Rita clicked into the Divine Gifts section and found herself lost in the options.

A Fate Re-roll Capsule to redraw divine talents. A Luck Dice to reroll luck values. A Gladiator Arena Ticket to watch the arena in person. Pet Eggs. Race Change Scrolls. Dozens of wing styles. Various tails that could serve as weapons or even transform. Nearly a hundred kinds of skins, mechanical limbs, mysterious bloodlines, scales, and more...

However, the prices were astronomical. A Fate Re-roll Capsule cost 5,000 honor points. The Gladiator Arena Ticket was the cheapest item in the store, at only 500 honor points.

Wings, tails, and mechanical limbs ranged from 50,000 to 500,000 honor points.

But there was one item that caught her eye: Shattered Divine Essence.

[Shattered Divine Essence]: Fragments of a shattered divine essence, can be used to upgrade divine talents, only for players with divine talents no higher than S rank. (Price: 1,000,000 honor points)

Thanks to a gift from Miyaas, she saved a million honor points!

The remaining half of the page was only visible to divine players. There, she even spotted a World Graveyard—but with a special suffix: Real-Time Stock Change.

This World Graveyard was a bit cheaper, only 20,000 honor points. But there was a catch: it had a usage restriction. If not used within 3 days, it would be forcibly recalled.

Additionally, it was limited in quantity. Each player could only purchase it once every 60 days. At the moment, there were 24 in stock, likely the number of unclaimed World Graveyard items in Lania Kaia and BS.

Since Rita's collection of World Graveyard had surpassed 3, every new one she obtained added 10,000 honor points to her total. At that rate, this World Graveyard was essentially a steal at only 10,000 honor points, a price she couldn't resist.
