Battle Online: My Luck Is So High It's Basically Cheating

Finally... it was over.

Looking at the fallen Immortal Rank BOSS and the dazzling pile of loot scattered across the ground, Lucien let out a long breath he didn’t realize he had been holding.

The tension in his body slowly faded.

That fight had been far more exhausting than it looked on the surface.

Glancing back, he noticed hundreds of players standing far away, none of them daring to step closer.

No one made a move.

That was basic common sense in Fate.

After all, approaching someone else’s battlefield right after a kill could easily be misunderstood as an attempt to steal loot—and in this game, that misunderstanding could cost you your life.

Lucien gave a faint nod inwardly.

He had a decent impression of the people who defended Gu Du City this time.

At the very least, they knew their boundaries.

More importantly...

Someone had helped him.

Earlier, at a critical moment, a zombie had suddenly appeared and blocked a fatal blow for him.

If not for that unexpected assistance, he might have been forced to burn one of his life-saving skills.

Even now, he didn’t know who it was.

But he remembered it.

Then—

A system announcement suddenly rang out.

"Ding: Congratulations to player Falling into the Human World for the first kill of the Immortal Rank BOSS Thunder-Winged Wind Tiger. Special reward: +1 to all initial attribute points, +1 Luck, 10,000 Reputation, and a Medal."

It repeated.

Again.

And again.

Three times in total.

The announcement echoed across the entire server—inside Fate and even in the real world.

...

In an instant, the entire player base exploded.

"It’s him again—Falling into the Human World! He actually killed an Immortal Rank BOSS?!"

"What’s a Medal? Is that a new equipment slot?"

"This is insane... he’s not even level forty yet!"

"A monster like that... and he solo killed it?"

"Kyushu actually produced someone like this... unbelievable."

...

At the same time, inside Fate, within the headquarters of the Nine Great Guilds—

The atmosphere turned extremely ugly.

The moment the announcement ended, the doors were pushed open.

A Vice Guild Master rushed in, face full of panic.

"Guild Leader! Bad news—Falling into the Human World has killed that Immortal Rank BOSS!"

"Get out!"

Caleb face darkened instantly.

His voice was cold and furious.

This time...

They had truly suffered a crushing defeat.

They had sacrificed thousands of guild members just to lure that BOSS near Gu Du City.

And in the end?

They gained nothing.

Instead, they had handed everything over to Lucien.

Just thinking about the loot from an Immortal Rank BOSS was enough to make his chest tighten.

Those items would undoubtedly be top-tier.

And now, all of it belonged to Falling into the Human World.

His strength would rise even further.

The more Caleb thought about it, the angrier he became.

Yet—

There was nothing he could do.

"Everyone... what do we do now?"

For the first time, there was a hint of helplessness in his voice.

The other guild leaders exchanged glances, their expressions grim.

No one had an answer.

Lucien’s growth speed was simply too fast.

If this continued, they wouldn’t just lose influence—

They would lose everything.

And given how many enemies they had made over the years...

The moment they fell, it wouldn’t be a loss of status.

It would be the end of them.

...

Outside Gu Du City—

The system notifications continued ringing in Lucien’s ears.

"Ding, congratulations! You have killed the Immortal Rank BOSS Thunder-Winged Wind Tiger. Experience: 1,000,000."

"Ding, you have not unlocked the second class advancement and cannot gain experience. Please proceed to the Class Advancement Temple."

Lucien paused.

Then shook his head slightly.

Again.

Wasted experience.

But there was nothing he could do. He was already level 30 and hadn’t completed his advancement yet.

That had to be his next priority.

Still...

That could wait.

His gaze shifted to the ground.

Gold coins, equipment, and items of all colors lay scattered everywhere, shimmering under the light.

In an instant, all his earlier exhaustion vanished.

A faint smile appeared on his face as he began picking everything up.

This time, perhaps due to the nature of the BOSS—or perhaps because of his Luck—the drop rate was exceptionally high.

Even by his standards, it was impressive.

Halfway through collecting, Lucien suddenly paused.

He remembered something.

Reaching into his backpack, he took out the Immortal Grade red sophora flower honey he had obtained earlier.

Without hesitation, he drank it.

A rich sweetness burst across his tongue, spreading warmth throughout his body.

"Ding, you have consumed red sophora flower honey (Immortal). Physical Attack permanently +100."

"Ding, Physical Attack +50% for one hour."

"Ding, congratulations! Luck explosion! You have learned the passive skill: Absolute Damage."

Lucien wasn’t surprised.

With his Luck, failure would have been strange.

Absolute Damage

Rank: Dark Gold

Passive Skill

Every attack deals an additional 5% True Damage.

Proficiency (Novice): 0–10,000

At first glance, it didn’t seem overwhelming.

But Lucien knew better.

True Damage ignored defense.

That alone made it incredibly valuable.

And the fact that it could level up...

Its future potential was enormous.

From this point forward, heavily armored enemies would no longer be a problem.

Satisfied, he continued collecting the remaining loot.

One skill book.

One piece of Immortal Grade equipment.

One piece of Dark Gold equipment.

Five pieces of Gold equipment.

And 5,000 gold coins.

Then, he turned to the BOSS’s corpse and activated his Gathering Skill.

"Ding, gathering successful. Obtained Thunder-Winged Wind Tiger Bone (Immortal)."

"Ding, gathering successful. Obtained 100 catties of Thunder-Winged Wind Tiger Meat (Dark Gold)."

"Ding, gathering successful. Obtained Thunder-Winged Wind Tiger Whip (Immortal)."

"Ding, gathering successful. Obtained Thunder-Winged Wind Tiger Hide (Dark Gold)."

Just as he prepared to continue—

The massive corpse vanished.

All valuable materials had already been extracted.

Lucien didn’t mind.

He had gotten everything that mattered.

Next, he checked the skill book.

Hunting Time (Warrior Skill)

Rank: Immortal

Marks a target, increasing damage dealt to it by 30% for 60 seconds.

Cost: 200 Mana

Cooldown: 5 minutes

Proficiency (Novice): 0/1,000

Simple.

Direct.

Effective.

Although it wasn’t a Taoist skill, Lucien didn’t hesitate to learn it.

Mana consumption wasn’t an issue for him.

And more importantly—

Skills never became obsolete.

Even if the effect seemed average now, it would only grow stronger as it leveled up.

Still...

He couldn’t help but feel a slight disappointment.

The area-of-effect skill he had been hoping for still hadn’t dropped.

Finally, he turned his attention to the equipment.

Aeolus Wings (Cloak)

Rank: Immortal

Level: 25

All Attributes +200

Skill: Soar

Soar: Grants the ability to fly. Flight speed equals 150% of Agility. Consumes 20 Mana per second.

Lucien’s eyes lit up slightly.

This was... excellent.

Not only did it provide a massive boost to all attributes—

It also granted flight.

Up until now, players could only rely on mounts or special situations to get airborne.

True, free-form flight was almost unheard of.

Without hesitation, he equipped it.

In the next moment—

A pair of azure wings, formed from condensed energy, spread out behind his back.

They shimmered faintly, giving off an otherworldly aura.

For a brief moment, Lucien stood there, feeling the lightness in his body, as if gravity itself had loosened its grip.

Then—

He frowned slightly.

Too flashy.

Without a second thought, he activated the concealment function.

The wings vanished instantly.

Everything returned to normal.

Only Lucien knew—

His strength had just taken another massive leap forward.

"My book cover has been taken down and will only be available again on the 2nd of next month. I apologize for the inconvenience, and I appreciate your patience and understanding."
