Game Over Not Over for Me novel Chapter 68

**TITLE: She Bloomed Like Spring After Surviving a Winter No One Saw by Lillian Rosewood**

**Chapter 68: Finley’s Talent**

“That man…”

The words hung in the air like a dark cloud, heavy with uncertainty.

“How could he have found out?”

Clarice shook her head, her expression a mix of confusion and concern. “No clue, but he’s dangerous. Should we…”

She made a swift motion across her throat, a gesture that spoke volumes.

“Kill him? You can’t really kill adventurers. Even if he dies, he’ll just respawn.”

The absurdity of the thought lingered in the air, and Fiona’s eyes narrowed, her mind clearly racing. A sly smile crept onto her lips, as if she had just connected the dots in a complex puzzle.

“I know exactly how to handle him.”

Alden remained blissfully unaware of the queen’s devious plans.

After sending Leona away, he dove back into the hunt for the elusive Bloodback Mystic Turtles.

From the fragmented memories of his past life, he recalled the necessity of eradicating them eighteen times in succession before the fabled Blood-Eyed Dragon Turtle would finally make its appearance.

Defeating that formidable beast would grant him access to the coveted Blackwater Lake Dungeon.

Once. Twice. Again.

Alden pressed on relentlessly, the rhythm of his actions almost meditative.

His PK Points steadily diminished, but his health bar was on a steady climb.

In a bid to maximize his HP gain, he refrained from equipping the Goddess of Life’s Tears, a decision that felt increasingly strategic.

With an additional 20% health, even the elite Bloodback Mystic Turtles fell before him after just a few well-placed strikes.

But time was slipping away like sand through his fingers.

A figure approached him at a brisk jog, breaking the monotony of his solitary grind.

“Alden, I made it!”

It was Finley, his enthusiasm palpable even from a distance.

Though his player tag was obscured, Alden immediately recognized him.

“I’ll pull you into the guild.”

With a few swift clicks, Alden added him to the Snowbound Guild, a decision that felt right.

Finley’s eyes darted around, taking in the surroundings with a sense of awe. “Man, you’re something else. I had no idea you were running around with a red name.”

He was still talking when suddenly, his stats shifted dramatically. His jaw dropped in disbelief.

“Whoa! Alden, this is insane!”

At that moment, the Snowbound Guild was a five-star guild, a shining beacon of power and prestige.

Its buffs for members were substantial: Damage +1%, Crit Chance +10%, Attack Power +20, Movement Speed +3, Attack Speed +1, HP +10,000.

In the current stage of the game, those six perks were nothing short of extraordinary.

What made them truly wild was that every single member received those benefits.

One player with those boosts? Not much of a threat.

But imagine a thousand players, ten thousand— the power surge would be staggering.

Especially when the Guild Combat Strength Ranking and Kingdom War became crucial.

By then, buffs like these would be worth their weight in gold.

“Take it easy. Here, use this Saint-Level Talent Awakening Stone to unlock your talent.”

Finley’s eyes widened even further, a mix of excitement and disbelief washing over him.

“Saint-Level? And you’re just handing this over? I saw someone selling a Heaven-Level Talent Awakening Stone on the forums for five million.”

Alden waved his hand dismissively. “Just take it.”

Finley chuckled, his gratitude evident. “Man, having you in my corner is the best.”

He seized the stone and began the process of awakening his talent, anticipation crackling in the air.

Alden already knew what it would be—he had witnessed it before in his past life.

Saint-Level Talent: Soulbound.

Soulbound: 1 Star.

Effect 1: You can bind yourself to one ally unit, gaining their total HP, armor, and magic resistance.

Effect 2: Your bound ally gains a ten percent boost to HP, armor, and magic resistance.

Proficiency: 0/10.

(Proficiency grows when you and your bound ally kill bosses at least your level.)

Each star increased the limit of allies he could bind by one.
