DESTINY GAMES

That need for speed is why he had one of the smallest kill counts in any game for that game. In fact, he almost lost the game because he was held back by the angry guy who wanted to punish him for trying to increase his kill count. He barely made it to the top ten back during that race.

This survival of the fittest game will be similar except worse. There will be the same amount of players participating in it, but this time, every player will be dropped in the ocean around the island.

The players won't be dropped on a single track with limited space. So he won't be able to kill them in passing. In fact, he won't be able to see a lot of the players because they will be dropped far away from him or on the opposite side of the island.

Even if he decides to prioritize kill count this time around, he won't have much success as the players will be too far apart to make his hunt efficient.

He will also have to spend a lot of time in extreme environmental situations looking for them. He can just imagine how wasteful it would be for him to hunt someone in a desert under a sandstorm while the other players are rushing towards the top.

The fact that there is no goal for kill count means that every player will be focused on reaching the top. So he has to do that too, or he will be wasting his time.

Only when he gets closer to the top of the mountain, where the area he has to hunt in is at its smallest, will he have better efficiency at killing. But that will interfere with the goal of the game and might make him lose.

He shook his head in pity and said, "The best I can get for my kill count is probably a maximum of 10. That is too small."

This game is very harsh to players as it has a high environmental elimination rate. Most of the players that are eliminated before the game ends are usually because they drowned in the ocean, froze to death in the ice plain, died of dehydration in the desert, or fell into a lake of lava and were burned to death.

Very few players are eliminated at the hands of other players. So his hunting prospects are low by his best estimates. His kill count is actually highly likely to be less than that. He might not even meet a single other player on his journey to the top.

Things are that bad. Many players that have been grouped with him are probably panicking right now. They have a month to prepare and are probably doing everything possible to gain more power and train so that they will be able to survive better.

But he is not doing any of that. He is not worried about making it to the top of the mountain at all. Instead, he is worried about the lack of people to kill.

He decided not to wait a month to participate in such a disappointing game. He decided to go for the more risky option. He decided to sign up for the foreign battlefield.

The process of signing up for the foreign battlefield is very easy. Any player in the professional league can sign up for it in an instant. All they have to do is click the option to opt out of a game.

This option is not available for those in the amateur league. They can't change their game, refuse to take it, or decide to sign up for a more dangerous option. When it is time for their game, they will be dragged from wherever they are to participate in the game.

But those in the professional league have more options. That option is to sign up for a war to conquer an unknown world that will last for an unknown amount of time.

His heart was beating wildly because of both fear and anticipation as he went through the procedure to sign up.

The process was simple. All he had to do was click an option. It is something he can do with his mind, so it should be instantaneous. But he kept hesitating at the last moment.

He was looking forward to it as he would get to visit a new world, see new things, fight new enemies, and earn a large amount of game points. That last part is the most important reason why he is signing up for it.

But he also remembered the demigod in the city and Wrath's warning about meeting many such beings on the battlefield. This made him hesitate in signing up.

But he only hesitated. The decision has already been made, and his mind is made up about it. He was slow in clicking the option, but he eventually did.

He received a prompt immediately.

- Are you sure you want to sign up for the foreign battlefield?

- Note that this decision cannot be reversed.

He nodded and said, "Yes, I'm sure."

He received another prompt.

- You have signed up for the foreign battlefield.

- Your deployment is being determined.

The prompt stopped there for a while. Meanwhile he felt like eating his fingers because of the anxiety he was feeling.

He wanted to hurry it up, but there was nothing he could do. He could only wait.

Finally, the system finished determining his deployment and gave him another prompt.

- You have been recruited for the first invasion of the Lignum world.

- You have gained access to Level 1 classified information about the Lignum.

- You have gained access to the Yggdrasil Civilization Military Codex.

- You have. 2163 hours, 36 minutes, and 12 seconds to prepare for the invasion.

A countdown appeared in the white world. On it was the amount of time he had until he had to go to war.
