Reborn in Japan as a Chef God - Chapter 868 - 867: Movements

Ge Xiu is a nefarious star criminal. After being arrested, according to the Interstellar Supreme Law, he will face two choices: either serve a sentence of 1156 years in black prison or enter countless virtual worlds and become a miserable person who is tortured and abused all his life. How much he suffers is how much his sentence can be reduced. Ge Xiu chose the second one without hesitation.

So… The trial surveillance system stared dumbfounded at the Former•Interstellar Most•Wanted•Criminal•Currently•Weak•Poor Ge Xiu in the virtual world, punching the empire, kicking the Federation, overthrowing oppression and building a new world. Then he turned his head to the camera and cried: “I’ve had a miserable life, really.”

“…” The surveillance system that was about to explode of anger: “Like hell I’d believe you!”

The game *The Alternate World* arrives, a rift in space opens, monsters invade, and humanity enters a new era.John awakens with the weakest support class—Priest. He is mocked, his girlfriend breaks up with him, and he gets expelled from the academy.But they don‘t know that John has a god-tier talent called *Divine Gift*; all buffs last forever and can stack infinitely.Low life recovery? Just stack it to full. As long as he isn't killed in one hit, he is an invincible being.No attack power for a priest? Buffs like *Physical Damage Amplification* and *Magic Damage Increase* keep stacking.There's no enemy that can't be defeated with one hit. If there is, just hit again.Normal players: “One staff hit kills a top boss, and you tell me this is a garbage priest class?”The Demon King: “Mr. John, please stop hitting me. I'll lead the demons to retreat right now.”The King: “Mr. John, I'm willing to give you all my treasure just to have your protection...”John hugs both sides, surrounded by beautiful women. He looks down at the strong people kneeling before him, feeling a little frustrated.He just wanted to stack buffs in peace. How did he accidentally become invincible?

Facing extinction, humanity seeks salvation in the Astral Verge, a dangerous dimension accessed via portals that threatened to wipe out the entire planet.Few years later, aspiring recruit Daniel Vance enters the Verge for his final assessment, hoping to Awaken a Talent and secure his future. While others gain common abilities, Daniel secretly Awakens the mythical SSS-Grade Talent: [Soul Assimilation]. This allows him to absorb essence, enhancing gear, gaining stats and EXP from slain creatures, and crucially, absorbing attributes and skills from fallen Awakened.Witnessing the swift death of the arrogant Jaxon Rex, Daniel makes a grim choice: he assimilates Jaxon, gaining his first skill, [Kinetic Pulse]. This sets his path: scavenging the aftermath of others’ battles. He enhances gear and, after achieving his first kill on an injured beast, waits patiently to assimilate two more fallen recruits, acquiring [Quick Step] and the invaluable passive [Aura Sense].Starting as average, Daniel rapidly gains power in secret, enhanced gear, multiple skills, and boosted stats , far exceeding his peers while remaining outwardly unremarkable. He navigates the lethal Verge alone, using its inherent dangers to fuel his growth, wrestling with the moral cost of his unique, overwhelming power.

He always told me that he dreamed of me at night.
