In the moment the fireball was released, Michelle actually regretted it.

This fireball was big and round, with a long and wide trajectory. It would definitely be deadly! And that Lynlo, are you stupid? You didn't even dodge!

If it was a regular mage casting a spell, the released magic could be cancelled, but Michelle used an item. This magic was beyond her control...

Although Lynlo was a rogue and did something outrageous, killing him... that would be too much.

If she personally killed her classmate... she would definitely have nightmares.

Even if the family could use money to suppress this matter, even if Lynlo's rogue behavior came first... Michelle couldn't accept it.

But a miracle happened in the next second, between the snap of a finger.

The exploding fireball made Michelle feel a sense of redemption, she really didn't want Lynlo to die.

Otherwise, she would become a murderer who killed her classmate...

But the words Lynlo said next were asking for a beating, and it made Michelle irritated. The anger she had just calmed down rose again.

Could it be that the bestowed robe of the Flame Spirit was fake?

She bought it herself from the largest and most authoritative item shop in Walton. Besides, she was...

Otherwise, how could it be dismantled by such a classmate?

No, it wasn't dismantled at all! Eight or nine times out of ten, the fireball dissipated on its own!

Could it be that what Lynlo said was true?

Before Michelle could find the truth, there was suddenly a commotion of magic in the air. An illusion gradually formed, then condensed into a physical entity, becoming an elemental puppet made of wind constructs.

The elemental puppet spoke in a mechanical and monotonous tone:

"Student Michelle Rockefeller, you are suspected of using lethal magic that violates the student management regulations within the academy. Please go to the office of the disciplinary headmaster, Ms. Mediterranean."

------

Long before Michelle started doubting her life, Lynlo had already slipped away.

He leaned against the wall in the corridor of the teaching building, pressing his chest and exhaling a long breath.

To offend Michelle, the class goddess, when he is usually such a nice guy? He couldn't even suck up to her.

Normally, Lynlo wouldn't even dare to think about it.

But he actually did it.

Now, thinking about it, he felt a little thrilled.

To see that angry and cute expression on Michelle's face, it felt like reaching the pinnacle of life.

Michelle might hold a grudge against him.

Sorry, sorry. Lynlo formed his hands into a prayer position and sincerely repented.

There's no one who's born to be a domineering CEO, right?

—"You're just this pathetic, host."

The cold voice of the system resonated in Lynlo's mind. It was quite interesting to be mocked by this emotionless mechanical voice.

But after experiencing what just happened, Lynlo couldn't help feeling excited.

"I didn't expect this system... to be real!"

Lynlo couldn't help but be surprised.

Back on Earth, he always saw in novels that there would suddenly be a system that descended upon some unfortunate kid, changing their fate. He didn't expect it to actually exist.

—"Once again, I'll repeat to the host, this system... this spirit ring is the spirit ring of Grudge, Andwarnerth, not the system you mentioned."

This voice came from the black ring on Lynlo's finger.

The origin of this black ring was unknown. Since Lynlo crossed over to this "game world," it appeared on the ring finger of his left hand.

"Understood, understood~"

"By completing the tasks of this spirit ring and collecting the required grudges, the spirit ring will provide abundant rewards. On the contrary—"The voice of the Spirit of the Ring, originally devoid of emotion, turned cold.

"If you fail to complete the tasks assigned by me, the Spirit of the Ring, I will seek out another source of resentment to feed on, just like the power you had before."

The way the words were phrased sent a chill down Lynlo's spine. Who knows what this Spirit of the Ring plans to devour?

Lynlo knew that the world he had crossed into was actually the world of the large-scale RPG online game "Valhalla Dungeon".

At that time, the players of the game were jokingly referred to as the "Warriors of the Dungeon" online.

Lynlo was also a player of the game, and he had a pretty powerful game account.

But after crossing over, everything, from equipment to level, had disappeared.

"So... I became a level one newbie because you devoured me?"

"That's correct."

"Then at least leave me with the Mystery! Wow, what do you owe me for using the system?"

Levels can be trained again, equipment can be obtained again, but Mystery is the most important thing in this game.

Mystery is random and also a fixed "talent" that cannot be changed no matter how much money you spend.

A good Mystery can raise the value of an account by tens of thousands of yuan.

"I'm sorry, but the host's Mystery has already been devoured by me, the Spirit of the Ring. It was because of the host's power and Mystery that I was able to awaken."

"... What kind of Spirit of the Ring are you? You're causing me a lot of trouble!"

"That kind of Mystery, I can also provide to the host. As long as the host finds enough delicious resentment to provide to me, the Spirit of the Ring, the previous host, Michelle Rockefeller, would be a good prey."

After the Spirit of the Ring finished speaking, a long data sheet appeared before Lynlo's eyes.

------

Michelle Rockefeller

Level: lv9

Strength: 9

Endurance: 9

Agility: 9

Spirit: 40

------

As expected, a lady of her status is still a lady of her status.

Several basic attributes related to physical fitness are not high.

It's not just because she's a girl, but also because she has been living a life of luxury, which has led to some degeneration.

"It seems like she's going for a full intelligence build."

Seeing this, Lynlo couldn't help but speak up.

"With these stats, she can already change to a mage. And she's about to reach Level One, just the right level the academy recommends for changing classes..."

Clear goals, a clear route, truly the child of a prestigious family.

At this moment, a hidden data caught Lynlo's attention.

"Mystery."

------

Mystery: Item Specialization Level 1.

Effect: Wearing any equipment or using any item will grant an additional 20% attribute and effect enhancement.

Active Activation: Can increase the attributes and effects of a designated item (unique) by 100%.

------

This is simply an amazing Mystery!

Usually, only single-player games have gameplay like "potion addict" or "item specialization", while martial arts games where characters rely on healing items to travel are considered normal operations.

In online games, various restrictions are imposed on items to prevent players from winning in this way.

But even in the online game "Valhalla Dungeon", "Item Specialization" is still a very strong Mystery. Only the owners of this rare Mystery can master the use of items!

And the other world is another world, different from Earth but still a real world.

Many balance restrictions that exist in this world do not exist here.

Only games pursue balance; the world follows the Matthew Effect, where the strong become stronger and the weak become weaker!

Item specialization in reality will only be more exaggerated than in the online game!

And this is only level 1; Mystery will grow and even have new effects as the player strengthens."How...how do you know so much?" Lynlo asked, amazed and in awe of the ring's magical powers, but also feeling a bit frightened.

A spirit that could easily pry into all kinds of secrets...

"Resentment is also a variant of mental power. Within mental power, there is a wealth of information. While absorbing resentment, this spirit can also perceive the source of the resentment," the spirit calmly replied.

"It doesn't matter if the host doesn't understand. What you need to know is that Miss Michelle Rockefeller's resentment is classified as A-grade. It is a very delicious food. If the host envies her Mystery, you can also obtain this Mystery, provided that there is more resentment from Miss Michelle for this spirit to analyze."

"Are you saying that..."

"Everything the host has done today is just the beginning," the spirit interrupted and paused for a moment, allowing Lynlo to digest the information before issuing a new task.

"New task: Go to crowded places and help this spirit find more hunting targets. This spirit needs...more!"

"Is this really a good idea?" Lynlo sighed helplessly and ran out of the teaching building.

Class was about to start, and Lynlo was running against the crowd.

This was his first time skipping class, and he actually felt a little guilty.

But the feeling of leaving the sound of the bell behind was unbelievably exhilarating!
