Chapter 1: Storage Ring and Summoning Phantom Assassin

  Tianshui University student cafeteria, at this time it is already 2 o'clock in the afternoon, students have all finished eating and gone to class.

  Tang Tian put down the last clean plate in his hand and muttered to himself: "Finally finished washing, it seems that I will be late for class again today. However, the first lesson is not the counselor's lesson, so there's nothing to worry about."

  Tang Tian, an orphan since childhood, grew up in an orphanage. After being admitted to university, he worked part-time jobs to support himself while studying and is now working as a janitor in the cafeteria of Tianshui University.

  "Pitiful humans, you may call me a god or a demon. You are always complaining about the unfairness of heaven. So I will give you a fair chance. From now on, your dull lives will no longer exist. I will turn your Earth into a cruel arena for gods and demons. Pick up your weapons and fight! Struggle! Only then can you become stronger and survive. Entertain me with your despair! The countdown begins... 10..."

  A voice suddenly burst into Tang Tian's mind, and upon hearing this voice, Tang Tian instantly felt as if the entire world had come to a standstill.

  9……

  ……

  "1, Now, the game begins."

  The sound stopped, and the world returned to its original state, but it was different from before, however, Tang Tian couldn't tell what was different.

  "What's going on? Is someone playing a joke?" Tang Tian wondered in his heart. Although he thought so, but Tang Tian felt a faint sense of unease.

  "What is this?" Tang Tian looked at the stick in his hand with a puzzled expression, it was about one meter long and as thick as a rolling pin, he didn't know what kind of wood it was made of, it felt a bit heavy, probably around 4-5 kilograms.

  "Coarse wooden stick, novice weapon, attack 0-3. Hint: This is the weapon given to you by the system as a novice, be sure to hold on to it well, otherwise you will not be able to survive."

  ……

  Just as Tang Tian was observing the wooden mixture in his hand, a transparent panel suddenly appeared in his mind, displaying the following information.

  "What's going on? It doesn't seem like a prank!" Tang Tian's instincts told him that something was amiss. Without even taking off his dirty clothes, Tang Tian grabbed the wooden stick in his hand and rushed out of the back kitchen of the cafeteria to the dining hall where students usually ate.

  "Oh no......" Tang Tian had just entered the hall when he heard a piercing scream.

  Following the direction of the scream, Tang Tian suddenly saw an unforgettable scene.

  All he saw was a girl in a gray shirt surrounded by two or three boys, and at first Tang Tian thought the boys were going to take liberties with the girl and wanted to go up and help, but then Tang Tian immediately stopped his own footsteps.

  Because he saw that several boys surrounded the girl in the middle, and constantly tore and bit at her body. In a few moments, the girl was covered in blood, large chunks of flesh were torn from her body and quickly swallowed into their stomachs. Suddenly, the girl stopped struggling and fell silent.

  The girls fell silent after that, and those boys finally let him go, starting to wander aimlessly.

  From Tang Tian's perspective, he could see the faces of those boys clearly, their skin was grayish white, their eyes were empty and devoid of spirit, and they moved slowly.

  "Is this a horror movie?" Tang Tian's heart fearfully muttered to himself.

  Such a scene completely overturned his previous cognition, a living person was bitten to death like that, and it appeared in front of him. He suddenly felt icy all over his body, as if he were having a nightmare.

  Ka ka ka ~~! Just as Tang Tian was at a loss, the girl who had just been bitten to death on the ground suddenly stood up slowly, with the same stiff body and slow movements.

  "My god, is this a Resident Evil? That's clearly a zombie!" Seeing such a scene, Tang Tian was suddenly horrified and turned to run. He never thought that the scenes he had only seen in movies would actually appear in reality.

  Whoa, in his haste, Tang Tian's body crashed into a table beside him.

  Hiss! It was as if they had heard some movement made by Tang Tian, and the several zombies immediately turned around to chase after him.

  Bang! Tang Tian quickly ran back to the rear kitchen of the cafeteria, as it was relatively safer there. After closing the door tightly, Tang Tian finally let out a slight sigh of relief.

  "Right, phone, ask Zou Jun how they are doing." Zou Jun is Tang Tian's roommate. Because both of their family situations are not good, they get along pretty well. However, both of them are busy making a living and paying tuition fees, so they don't have much time to play together. They can only be considered as being slightly closer than ordinary friends.

  "Ringing... The phone was quickly picked up. "Hello? Is that Zou Jun? Where are you? How is it going now......"?

  "What the hell? I'm in the dorm, oh my god, what's going on with the world? How did they all turn into monsters...... Be careful, they're coming......" Bang! The phone was suddenly hung up......

  "Hello? Hello?"... Tang Tian called out several times, but got no response. He hung up the phone and slumped against the back of the door, sitting down weakly.

  "It's all changed, this whole world has completely changed... what's going on..." Tang Tian muttered to himself.

  Boom boom boom!!!

  Just then, the door behind Tang Tian began to shake violently.

  "It's over, it's a zombie!" Tang Tian immediately jumped up and stood up, looking at the not-so-thick wooden door in the back kitchen with horror.

  Bang! The wooden door was suddenly slapped with a big hole. A zombie's head stretched in from the hole.

  "What a huge force!" Tang Tian suddenly took a breath of cool air, this wooden door was not very thick, but to slap out a hole in just a few hits, that requires how much strength? At least an ordinary person would find it difficult to do.

  After the zombie's head stretched in, it stared at Tang Tian with its bloody mouth open and let out a non-stop screech. The sound of banging on the door also came from outside.

  "Undead, humans who could not withstand the divine magic's transformation of the earth became a low-level monster without thinking, only able to instinctively hunt and kill humans. Please eliminate them as soon as possible, because they can also continuously evolve, but do not get caught by them, or you will also be infected into an undead."

  Looking at the zombie's head in front of him, a mysterious voice appeared again in Tang Tian's mind.

  "Should we eliminate them?" Tang Tian muttered. Immediately, his eyes turned cold, and he took a swift step forward, raising the wooden stick in his hand to smash it onto the zombie's head.

  Tang Tian, being an orphan, had countless fights and brawls since childhood. He overcame his initial fear of these zombies, which apart from their frightening appearance, weren't that formidable, and moved slower than ordinary people, making them not impossible to eliminate.

  Bang bang bang~~! The wooden stick in his hand kept hitting the zombie's head, and with Tang Tian's full strength, the zombie's head was smashed to pieces in just a few hits, and slowly tilted to one side.

  Just as the zombies fell down, a faint white light burst out of the zombie's body and rushed into Tang Tian's body.

  "What is that?" Tang Tian was completely baffled by the white light, and asked in confusion. However, he found that his body didn't feel any discomfort, so he stopped worrying about it, because now wasn't the time to be distracted - there were still three zombies outside.

  After the first zombie fell, the head of the second zombie stretched out from the same hole. Tang Tian eliminated the zombie as usual, and a weak white light emerged from the zombie's body and rushed into Tang Tian's body. At the same time, a gray box also emerged from the zombie's body. Since there were two more zombies outside the door, Tang Tian did not dare to go out and pick it up.

  Roar~~! The third zombie also stretched its head into the hole, and the hole was enlarged. Along with half of its body, it stretched in, and Tang Tian almost got caught by the zombie off guard.

  Tang Tian stepped back, swung his wooden stick and hit the zombie's head several times. The zombie stopped moving after a few hits, but it got stuck in the doorway.

  A white light burst into Tang Tian's body, and at the same time, Tang Tian's sharp eyes discovered that when this zombie fell down, a black ring and a black book dropped from its body.

  He immediately took two steps forward and grabbed the two items that had fallen down in his hands.

  "Storage Ring, containing 100 cubic meters of space, can help you store anything except living things, limited only by the size of the space, not counting weight. Will you equip it?"

  "Equipment!" Tan Tian didn't hesitate at all. As soon as he uttered the two words, the black ring on his hand automatically slipped onto his middle finger.

  When Tang Tian looked at Jie Zi, a white cubic space appeared in his mind, empty and devoid of anything. With a thought, the wooden staff in his hand suddenly appeared inside, and when he looked again, there was no sign of the staff in his hand. Another thought, and the staff reappeared in Tang Tian's hand.

  "Good stuff, how much can be stored in such a large space? It must not let people know." Tang Tian knew the principle of "a good man cannot be unaware of the crime of hiding a treasure".

  Looked at the black book in his hand again.

  "Level 5 skill, summoning a ghost assassin. Skill description: Consumes 20 spiritual energy to summon a ghost assassin from hell to aid you in battle. The initial level of the ghost assassin is 1, with basic attributes of 30, 30, 30, and 40. Blood volume is 200/200. Cooldown time is one month. Hint: Active skills can only be learned two times before level 20. Do you want to learn it?"

  "Learning," Tang Tian said without hesitation, joking that in this ghostly world, the more power one grasped, the more hope they had of surviving.

  Just as Tang Tian spoke the words "learn" and "study", the black book in his hand suddenly transformed into a black light that rushed into his mind, finally turning into a grayish-black mysterious symbol.

  A special message appeared in Tang Tian's mind: Summon the Ghost Assassin, consuming 20 points of spiritual energy?

  "Summon Ghost Assassin"! Tang Tian Xia's subconscious mouth said.

  After saying this, Tang Tian's mouth suddenly muttered some mysterious incantations, and his hands were constantly making special gestures. Suddenly, a one-meter-high black passage appeared in front of him. Seeing this passage, Tang Tian subconsciously shivered with fear, it was too terrifying, the yin energy was dense and eerie, as if countless evil spirits were wailing inside.

  At the same time, Tang Tian felt his head spinning and dizziness, as if something in his mind had been sucked away.

  He saw, from the passageway, a ghost slowly emerging, shrouded in a black cloak, its entire body surrounded by a dark aura, filled with an air of death.

  The final passage disappeared, and the ghost assassin stood in front of Tang Tian.

  Ghost Assassin:

  Level: 1

  Power: 30/30

  Physical Strength: 30/30

  Spirit: 30/30

  Speed: 40/40

  Skill: Phantom Strike

  The ghost assassin stood in front of Tang Tian, glanced at him, then walked behind Tang Tian and turned into a black shadow, which was not easy to notice if one didn't pay attention...

  PS: Everyone, please take a closer look, the basic attribute is spirit, and summoning ghost assassins requires spiritual power, don't get confused, this question won't be mentioned again... speechless...
