The story begins with an enticing question: Would you like to experience a realistic second life? The game God of the Imperial Kingdom promises to deliver an immersive virtual world where players can embark on perilous adventures, engage in fierce battles, and even soar through the skies. The game’s advanced helmet offers not just an unparalleled gaming experience but also claims to improve players' health.
Our protagonist, Lu Chen, confined to a wheelchair and struggling with a dismal future after a devastating accident, finds solace in this game.
As Lu Chen dons the helmet and enters the game, he’s greeted by a digital avatar who welcomes him and prompts him to choose a nickname.
Initially disheartened by his weak status and unexpected transformation, Lu Chen is elated to discover that he can move his legs in the game just as he could in reality. He relishes the newfound mobility and tests his abilities, only to attract the attention of other players who see him as prey.
As Lu Chen defeats the girls, he gains experience and items, discovering that his werewolf form allows him to earn money through player kills. He realizes that by farming other players, he can obtain valuable items without spending his own money. His newfound strategy involves exploiting the weakened state of his targets to collect loot and boost his stats. While he can't rank up his reputation, he finds that he can still level up and increase his stats, making the most of his situation as a savage beast.
His success continues as he farms other werewolves and monsters, using their drops to further enhance his abilities. Lu Chen's combat skills improve significantly, and he begins to enjoy the game more, finding the realistic elements of the game captivating. His progress is temporarily interrupted when he encounters a group of players who are intrigued by his werewolf appearance and question the game’s realism.
Lu Chen is surprised to see that some players are discussing the game’s use of real-world bodies and how it affects their gameplay. Amidst this, he defeats a perverted player who is exploiting the game's features for inappropriate purposes.
As he continues to hunt and level up, Lu Chen finds a gray-quality club that he decides to sell. Listing it at a competitive price, he is pleased to see it sell quickly, marking his first successful transaction in the game. This achievement boosts his confidence and signals the beginning of a promising new chapter in his virtual life.
Lu Chen’s journey in God of the Imperial Kingdom becomes a path to redemption and self-discovery. No longer the burden he once feared to be, he is determined to make the most of this opportunity. With his abilities and newfound skills, he transforms from a disabled individual to a formidable player, finding both a purpose and a way to contribute to his family’s well-being. The game, once a distant hope, has become his gateway to a new reality where he can redefine himself and his future.
