"Breaking news: This year, 12.35 million people in our country participated in the Awakening, an 11.3% increase from last year. Out of these, approximately 3.952 million successfully awakened as professionals, marking the highest record since the arrival of the 'Otherworld' on Earth 110 years ago!"
"This year also marks the centenary of Dragon Nation's strongest warrior, 'Asura,' who sacrificed his life in the Otherworld to protect our country. At the morial service held the day before yesterday in the capital, top-tier professionals such as Seraph, Moon Scar, and Ice Emperor all attended to pay their respects."
"anwhile, on yesterday's Awakening Day, Japan witnessed the birth of a Legendary-tier professional, the 'Jedi Warrior.' Pri Minister Kudo announced at the press conference that the country would devote 10% of its resources this year to nurture this Jedi Warrior, aiming for a spot on the global Tier 0 professional leaderboard."
"International news: At dawn today, Beacon Nation successfully conquered the Otherworld's 95th world, 'Nightfall Nation.' As of now, they still hold the top spot in the global conquest progress..."
Zhang Yue sat on the couch, watching the news on TV, feeling absolutely indifferent.
One hundred and ten years ago, the Otherworld descended upon Earth.
Countless monsters surged from the Otherworld into reality, attacking human cities with relentless fury, bringing about a great catastrophe.
At the sa ti, mysterious marks appeared on the back of every human's hand.
Upon turning eighteen, each person could awaken their mark on the annual Awakening Day, allowing them to choose a profession and step into the Otherworld. By slaying monsters, completing missions, and clearing dungeons, professionals gained strength to fight back against the Otherworld's threat.
Thus began the age of mass job transitions for humanity.
In the Otherworld, professional tiers are divided into Common, Elite, Rare, Epic, Legendary, and Mythic.
According to statistics, only 10% of people awaken as core professionals, such as warriors, mages, knights, priests, archers, assassins, and beast tars.
The chance of awakening into a life profession—such as alchemist, blacksmith, appraiser, or chef—is 20%.
Seventy percent of humanity, however, fail to awaken a profession at all, dood to remain as ordinary citizens, the lower rung of society.
Professionals are revered by the masses, enjoying high social status in this new world.
Yesterday, on Awakening Day, Zhang Yue had awakened as a Common-tier core professional: Beast Tar.
Today, at 8 a.m., the Otherworld was open to new professionals.
Zhang Yue glanced at the ti. "Eight o'clock, right on ti."
Following the thod for entering the Otherworld, he pressed his left hand over the mark on the back of his right hand.
Three seconds later.
Whoosh!
A three-ter-tall dinsional gate appeared in front of Zhang Yue.
Stepping through it, Zhang Yue vanished from his living room, along with the portal.
Whoosh!
With a shift in his vision, Zhang Yue found himself standing in a dilapidated town.
Before he could take in his surroundings, a dull voice suddenly echoed in his ear—
[Ding! Esteed professional Asura, welco. The system has detected that you've been offline for 36,552 days. Based on your last progress before exiting the Otherworld at World 70, you will receive 70 units of power per second of offline ti. You've accumulated: Power 221,066,496,000 units.]
The unexpected notification made Zhang Yue's heart race.
"I was planning to start fresh as a rookie, but it seems the system ratted out."
He muttered under his breath, "No point hiding anymore. Ti to co clean—I'm none other than Dragon Nation's strongest warrior, Asura, who died in the Otherworld a hundred years ago."
A century ago, the largest Tier 9 dinsional rift appeared within Dragon Nation's borders. Countless monsters poured through, threatening to invade the nation.
To defend his holand, Zhang Yue held the rift alone, sacrificing himself to repel the beast tide.
But fate wasn't done with him.
Sohow, he had been reborn a hundred years later, into the body of another Zhang Yue.
And now... he could even claim the offline rewards from his past life.
Just as he was processing this, another system notification chid:
[Ding! Congratulations on defeating the Tier 9 beast tide for the first ti and completing the Mythic achievent [Unmatched in the Otherworld]. You have received: Mythic treasure [Supre Oracle] x1]
[Ding! The [Supre Oracle] has been automatically used.]
[Congratulations! You've gained a permanent buff: Online and offline power accumulation increased by 10,000 tis. This effect is now active. You've received an additional 9999x AFK bonus: 221,044,389,350,000 power units]
[Ding! Your profession has been reset. Please choose one of the seven Mythic core professions below.]
[Knight – Undead Death Knight]
[Warrior – Dark Swordsman]
[Assassin – Shadow Reaper]
[Priest – Holy Archpriest]
[Mage – Infernal Fla Mage]
[Archer – Nether Hunter]
[Beast Tar – Necromancer]
"The rewards for defeating a Tier 9 beast tide are this generous?"
Zhang Yue found it hard to believe, but then again, he had earned it with his life. It was only fair.
After all, Tier 9 ant the highest level beast tide in the Otherworld.
Normally, only a professional who had reached the ninth advancent would have any hope of standing against it.
At the ti, Zhang Yue had only been at the eighth advancent when he fended off the Tier 9 beast tide.
"Beast Tar is the strongest core profession in the Otherworld, but leveling yourself and your pets requires far too much power. It's too hard to nurture."
"But now, with my million years' worth of power from AFK farming, the best choice is obvious..."
"Necromancer."
[Ding! Congratulations, you are now a Mythic core professional: Necromancer (Beast Tar advancent).]
Zhang Yue opened his profession interface:

"A profession with 100 stars of initial stat! Damn, the strength of this class... it truly deserves to be Mythic!"
In the Otherworld, pet eggs were rare, often only obtainable through exclusive mission rewards. Many Beast Tars would go their entire lives without acquiring even one.
Even then, their pets couldn't improve in quality—whatever rank they were born as, they would stay that way forever.
But Necromancers completely broke that mold.
Historically, in the hundred years since the Otherworld's arrival on Earth, only three people worldwide had ever awakened a Mythic profession.
Among them: Beacon Nation's Ghost Sword Elf, Russia's Hell Dragon Knight Resdiev, and the Cold Nation's Frost Mage Kwon Jihyeon.
Each of these Mythic professionals held god-like power, capable of toppling worlds and altering destinies with a single flick of hand.
It was because of these three that Beacon Nation, Russia, and Cold Nation consistently led the global Otherworld conquest.
In his past life, Zhang Yue had only been an Epic-tier warrior.
Yet, even with just an Epic profession, he had beco Dragon Nation's number one in less than a decade—ultimately rising to the top of the global ranks.
Now, in this life, he had started with a Mythic profession and a million years' worth of AFK farming rewards.
There was no stopping him from taking off right from the start.
