Chapter 1 Frost King’s Awakening
“Alden, wake up! ‘Twilight of the Gods‘ is launching at 9 AM. If you keep sleeping, you’ll miss it!”
Twilight of the Gods?
Launch?
Alden Campbell’s eyes shot open, scanning his familiar and strange surroundings.
“Is this Dream Club?!
“Wait!
“Didn’t I get betrayed and killed by that backstabbing Jovan Blackwood while exploring the Divine Ruins?
“What’s going on here?”
He grabbed his phone. The display read May 20, 2032.
“I’ve been reborn ten years back, right when Twilight of the Gods was first launched!”
Finley Hawke, noticing Alden’s overreaction, tried to calm him down.
“Alden, don’t worry. We’ll all chip in and help you out. Brielle will be fine.”

Memories rushed back. Alden recalled that in his previous life, his sister, Brielle Campbell, had been hit by a car around this time, leaving her with a blood clot in her brain.
The surgery cost 300,000 dollars. The driver fled the scene, and with no surveillance footage available, the police couldn’t find the culprit.
The burden of the surgery fell on Alden.
Despite his friends doing everything they could, he scraped together only 260,000 dollars, including loans.
He had begged the hospital, but they refused to operate without the remaining 40,000 dollars. Brielle had died on the hospital bed.
The thought of her mischievous yet adorable smile made Alden clench his fists.
“Don’t worry, Brielle. This time, I’ll save you!”
His eyes gleamed with determination. “Given a second chance, I’ll rewrite fate and prevent that tragedy.”
Looking at Finley, he broke into a smile.
“Fatty, let’s log in. This time, we’ll take control of destiny ourselves!”
Seeing Alden back to normal, Finley heaved a sigh of relief. “You got it, Alden.”
Stepping into the gaming pod, Alden couldn’t help but feel antsy.

But Alden, having lived through the disaster that followed, knew better. This game wasn’t some global project–it was designed by the Celestial Overlord, drawing on the power of Earth’s ancient gods.
Its purpose? To prepare humanity for the great catastrophe five years later.
By then, the Alarite Star System would invade the Milky Way, plunging the galaxy into chaos.
Having experienced that great catastrophe firsthand, Alden knew just how critical it was to gain power through the game.
“In my last life, I never even unlocked a talent. This time, I’ll see what mine truly is.”
Upon entering the character creation screen, a cinematic trailer began to play–a lavish eight–hour promotional video. It could not be fast–forwarded, only skipped or watched normally.
In his past life, almost every player chose to skip it. Eight hours of delay was too costly in a competitive game.
But Alden didn’t. He knew that being the first to watch the entire promotional video will award him a God Level Talent Awakening
Stone.
In Twilight of the Gods, talents were a unique feature, categorized into Yellow Level, Profound Level, Earth Level, Sky Level, Saint Level, and God Level.
Awakening a talent required an Awakening Stone.
In his past life, Alden had obtained a God–level Talent Awakening Stone, but his talent awakening had ultimately failed.
This meant that his talent was an extremely rare God–level talent.
Those in his past life who possessed God–level talents were all unparalleled super–strong individuals, dominating their respective
areas.
In this life, he would also awaken his God–level talent.
With the memory of his past life, Alden was confident he could reach the pinnacle and crush the Alarite Star System!
As time passed, finally, after eight long hours, the moment arrived.
Ding! “Congratulations, you are the first player to watch the Twilight of the Gods trailer. You have earned the God–level Talent Awakening Stone +1.”
As expected!
A satisfied smile spread across Alden’s face. In the next instant, he appeared in the character creation hall.
“Class: Archer, Nickname: Frost King.”
Without hesitation, Alden directly chose the same character as in his past life.
Ding! “Class creation successful. You are about to enter Rookie Village #10086.”
In the next moment, Alden appeared in Rookie Village #10086.

Each Rookie Village could accommodate up to 10,000 players, meaning over 100 million players had already entered Twilight of the Gods. This was proof of how popular the game was.
Alden walked to a secluded corner, took out the God–level Talent Awakening Stone, and silently muttered, “Awaken.”
Ding! “Due to your exceptionally high talent, the God–level Talent Awakening Stone can only awaken part of your talent.”
Ding! “You have awakened the talent: Heaven’s Hand.”
Alden froze for a moment. What was going on? Why did his God–level Awakening Stone only awaken part of his talent?
Surprised, Alden quickly checked his talent.
Heaven’s Hand (Super God–level): 1 star
Effect 1: Every basic attack causes 1% of your current HP as true damage.
Effect 2: Every basic attack permanently increases your HP by 1 point.
Proficiency: 0/1000.
(Note: You can only stack HP when damaging living beings.)
Alden stood stunned. Super God–level? In his past life, he had never heard of such a thing.
Moreover, this talent was incredibly powerful!
Permanently increasing HP!
After the brief shock, Alden instinctively opened his attribute panel.
