“Please choose your race.” A cool, clear female voice rang out.

It was the voice that had been with Mo Bai for many years.

“I’m back, System.” Mo Bai took a deep breath and shouted into the dark space.

At last, he had returned to Super God Domain once more. In this life, he would become the strongest player and stand on the field of competition.

“Please don’t shout, player. Choose your race,” the System repeated.

“Race, huh? Let’s see.” Mo Bai casually waved his hand, and all the information appeared before him.

There were three races to choose from.

Humans, elves, and the undead.

Those were the three races available at the start. Later on, players could also become the rarer beastfolk or dwarves through other NPCs.

Still, hardly anyone ever changed to a beastfolk or dwarf.

After all, dwarves and beastfolk weren’t exactly popular with the girls.

“If I remember right, elves automatically get a 15% boost to their appearance, don’t they?” Mo Bai asked.

“That’s correct. Elves’ appearance is automatically adjusted by +15%,” the System’s cool, clear voice replied.

“No wonder they’re the most beautiful race on Super God Continent.” Mo Bai rubbed his nose and gave a wry smile.

He didn’t want to attract attention again. If his looks got another 15% boost, how would anyone else stand a chance?

“I’ll go with human.” Mo Bai made his decision.

He had no intention of turning into an ugly skeleton.

“Please choose your class.”

“Mage.” Mo Bai answered without hesitation.

Only a mage could help him complete the early quests as quickly as possible.

If he wanted to obtain that opportunity, he had to choose mage.

“Would you like to change your appearance?”

“As a human, you can increase your appearance by up to 10%.”

“No need. I’m fine as I am.”

“Wait, maybe I should lower it a little?” Mo Bai hesitated.

If another woman fell for him, how was he supposed to focus on gaming?

“Forget it. I can just wear a mask when the time comes.” After thinking it over, Mo Bai decided against it.

There were decorative masks in Super God Domain, anyway. He could just wear one later.

“Would you like to hide your gender? (This choice can only be made once.)”

“Gender? Wait, why is that an option?” Mo Bai asked, puzzled.

There hadn’t been anything like that when he registered.

“To protect player privacy, the System can change a player’s gender,” the cool, clear female voice explained.

The System’s answer reminded Mo Bai of what had happened.

He vaguely remembered that when Super God Domain first launched, players could hide their gender. But later, the game became so popular that it drew the authorities’ attention, and they required everyone to register under their real identities.

He remembered that it had caused quite a stir.

A lot of people discovered that their best buddy had turned into a woman, while the goddess they’d pursued so desperately in-game had turned out to be a man.

“They really brought it on themselves.” Remembering what happened back then, Mo Bai couldn’t help shaking his head.

If everyone had been as low-key as him, none of that would’ve happened.

“Don’t change my gender.”

“Please confirm your name.”

“Bai Mo.” Mo Bai chose to reverse his given name and surname.

“Please choose your starting village.”

“Newbie Village No. 666,” Mo Bai said.

“Selection complete. Please wait for the game to launch.” The cool, clear female voice fell silent.

A countdown to the game’s launch appeared above Mo Bai’s head.

“Only sixty seconds left? Good thing I’m not late.” Mo Bai looked up at the numbers and let out a long breath of relief.

Each newbie village had a player limit. If he’d arrived any later, he might not have been able to get into Newbie Village No. 666.

And the opportunity he knew about could only be found in Newbie Village No. 666.

If he couldn’t get into Newbie Village No. 666, he’d have to figure out another plan.

“Please get ready, players. The final countdown is about to begin.”

“Five, four, three, two, one!”

“Please proceed to Super God Continent!” The cool, clear female voice sounded again.

A black portal appeared in front of Mo Bai.

“Super God Continent, here I come!” Mo Bai stepped through the portal.

Ripples spread across the portal, and Mo Bai vanished into the dark space.
