A VIP as soon as you Log In - Chapter 9: The Equation of Growth - 4

Ezekiel recognized early in life that he didn't want to follow in his parent's footsteps and spend the rest of his days as a mere farmer. No, his eyes are set on a grander stage, a place where tales of monster hunters, mighty generals, and benevolent heroes hold court — A world of Magic and mysteries.One day, the opportunity he had been waiting for arrives. Without a second thought, Ezekiel throws himself headfirst into the adventure. However, not everything turns out to be as magical as he had dreamt it to be...THIS IS A SLOW BURN FANTASY PROGRESSION LITRPG STORY:Even though you are not going to see blue boxes from chapter one, I guarantee you that this IS a LitRPG story. This is, however, NOT a pure “game world”! Instead, I have tried to integrate the interface elements of a LitRPG into a world with a very thought-out magic & power system, which will be explored over the course of the first book.This world doesn't work like a game, where you can put '5 points in strength' and the body somehow changes magically into a stronger version of itself. It might take a couple of chapters for the world and magic to start to make sense, but I feel like a power system built on solid principles is a lot more rewarding in the long run (...and more IMMERSIVE!).

It was the year 2021 AD.

The game jointly developed by the entire world, “Heavenly Enlightenment”, was released. In this game, in-game coins could be exchanged for real money, which instantly attracted countless players from all across the world.

Various nations around the globe also competed fiercely for the resources in the game.

Lu Yuan was a player of “Heavenly Enlightenment.

At the start, he received the SSS rank talent — Infinite skills upgrade! Fireball LV999: Fireball descends from the sky and rains destruction upon the world! Heal LV999: the Angel descends to revive ten thousand people!

……

With his infinite upgrading talent, while others were still desperately trying to farm mob monsters, Lu Yuan had already killed the boss effortlessly. While others were still toiling to raise the favourability meter of NPCs, Lu Yuan was already sleeping on the same bed as the NPC queen.

The other players all started to protest!

“Report him, he’s cheating!”

“Lu Yuan had severely affected the balance of this game, we strongly demand to ban Lu Yuan!”

Rejected, due to being an human in the land of elves, Kevin was banished and casted into the river the very day he was born. But fate said he would live as he was rescued by the very person who casted him into the river.

Every mage when they reach the age sixteen were told to attend the mage academy and Kevin, the abandoned human who had overheard the conversation of some students, got excited to attend this academy.

He asked from his guardian if he could attend the academy but unfortunately, he was denied, all because of him being an human and not an Elf. At that moment, he became angry and had locked himself up in his guardian’s workshop, that was a room full of all types of magical items.

But while in the room, Kevin had spotted a golden ring that instantly glowed as soon as it touched his bloody fingers. Surprisingly, he was given a system that granted him the opportunity to be an Elf. But what he discovered was that, he wasn’t just an elf but a fairy and also an human.
