Minecraft: I Am The Demon King

The young people of today are burdened with far too much.

Houses they can't afford, jobs that don't pay enough, and sleep they can never seem to get enough of...

All kinds of pressures weigh them down, leaving them gasping for air.

Every day feels confusing, and they wonder what the meaning of life even is.

In this fast-paced society, most people are merely surviving.

Very few can truly enjoy life.

Even someone like Mo Jiang, who managed to get into Zero Point Company as a programmer with an annual salary of over 300,000, still lived frugally, and what he couldn't afford still remained out of reach.

Even if he barely scraped together enough for a down payment and bought a house, he'd still be carrying a mortgage for most of his life.

A life where you can see the end from the start, with no hope in sight—Mo Jiang simply couldn't stand the thought of continuing like that.

And now, he had just been fired.

He was facing the difficulty of finding a new job again.

Someone like Mo Jiang, who had no connections or backing, even if he found another job, there was no guarantee he wouldn't become the scapegoat again at his next company.

Thinking about it this way, crossing over into another world was actually a good thing for him.

At least in this world, things weren't so materialistic. He wouldn't have to spend his entire life struggling for a house.

At least in this world, Mo Jiang could do whatever he wanted. For once, he could truly live freely for himself.

With that thought, Mo Jiang felt a sudden sense of relief. Since he couldn't go back, he might as well go with the flow!

He'd just treat this as Heaven giving him a second chance at life.

"This really has turned into 'My World'."

While Mo Jiang was lost in thought, he suddenly felt something was off.

"Huh? Didn't I just die?"

"Didn't I design myself to have an invincibility skill?!!"

It was only now that Mo Jiang remembered he had specifically given this avatar an invincibility skill.

But he had just been killed by a skeleton?

"Could it be that the skill didn't activate?…"

With that thought, Mo Jiang slowly raised his hands and muttered in his mind.

"Flames!"

In the next second, two flames slowly ignited in his palms.

Then they gathered into two fist-sized fireballs.

Seeing this, Mo Jiang raised one hand and launched one of the fireballs outward.

The moment the fireball hit the ground, it erupted into roaring flames. The soil it touched melted instantly,

And the flames continued burning, melting through three layers of earth before showing signs of dying out.

Mo Jiang's brows furrowed deeper in confusion.

"Huh? Why did the flame skill work, but the invincibility didn't?…"

He couldn't quite wrap his head around it.

If he could use the flame skill, it meant the skills he designed were indeed functional.

But the fact that he had been killed by a skeleton clearly meant the invincibility skill hadn't triggered.

No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't figure it out.

"Oh well, since I can respawn, I guess that's pretty much invincibility, right?"

Since he could respawn, Mo Jiang didn't care too much about whether he was truly invincible.

Besides, with such overpowered skills, what player could possibly harm him?

As for the monsters in the game, there was even less need to worry. Mo Jiang knew the monsters' data like the back of his hand.

Even without strong skills, he wouldn't fall to them.

With that thought, Mo Jiang gradually relaxed.

Although he hadn't been bound to a system after crossing over,

At least he had been wise enough to design himself with such powerful skills beforehand.

It was like he had given himself a cheat code. With these cheat codes, he could easily dominate this world.

However, crossing into the game world had also disrupted Mo Jiang's original plan to some extent.

The reason he had created the virus was to take revenge on Zero Point Company. But now that he had crossed into the game, if he brought the game down and the servers shut down,

Wouldn't he also cease to exist?

This thought left Mo Jiang torn for a while.

In the end, he made up his mind.

"Whatever! I'll deal with Eternal Radiance Guild and his people first!"

This whole mess started because the financial backers behind Younghui pressured Zero Point Company into finding a scapegoat.

Mo Jiang had long been fed up with Yonghui's group. Now that he was in the game, it was time to settle accounts properly.

Fortunately, Mo Jiang had previously given himself a data-invasion skill. But he wasn't sure if it had carried over properly.

With that thought, Mo Jiang muttered in his mind:

"Data Search!"

"ID: Yonghui!"

The moment Mo Jiang activated the Data Search skill, information about Yonghui popped into his mind.

[ID: Yonghui changed on March 3rd to ID: Yonghui]

[IP Address: xxxxxxxx]

[Coordinates: xxx, xxx, xxx]

Seeing this information, a smile finally crept across Mo Jiang's face.

"Ah, if you guys had just quit the game back then, none of this would be happening now, huh?"

Although Mo Jiang had designed himself with many powerful skills, he had overlooked one crucial detail.

He had forgotten to give himself flight and teleportation abilities.

Even though he had data-invasion powers, for some reason, Mo Jiang couldn't teleport directly to Yonghui's coordinates.

In other words, he had no choice but to rely on the oldest transportation method—walking.

"A flawless plan with one fatal oversight!!! How did I forget about flight and teleportation?!!!"

Mo Jiang was filled with regret, but there was nothing he could do.

The road to revenge was long and arduous; he'd just have to walk it step by step.

Fortunately, the game's scenery was quite beautiful, so Mo Jiang treated it like a leisurely stroll.

As he walked toward Yonghui's location, he absent-mindedly shot fireballs at the ground.

Wherever he passed, not a single blade of grass remained.

He hummed a cheerful tune as he enjoyed the thrill of destruction.

Unbeknownst to him, an Enderman clutching a diamond ore block had been tailing him from afar.

The Enderman followed him for some time before finally losing interest and teleporting away.

———

At that moment, in the Nirvana Guild's base.

Players were gathered in the plaza, lining up in front of a dispenser.

It seemed like they were training for something.

"Today's training exercise: block placement!"

"As you all know, monsters have gotten stronger lately, and the classic 'foot trap' no longer works against them."

"To fight them, we must improve our personal skills!"

"This dispenser will shoot arrows at you."

"Your job is to place a block in front of you to block the arrow before it hits you."

"Today's test distance is 15 blocks."

"If you can't handle even that, you don't deserve to stay in the Nirvana Guild!"

"Begin training!"

After Steve gave his instructions, he turned on the dispenser.

The players immediately began their training.

Ever since the game update, Steve had been studying free-combat techniques.

He knew that with free combat, the gap between players wouldn't come from equipment but from individual skill.

So he had been researching and teaching various combat techniques.

The most effective so far was block placement.

If your hand speed was fast enough, you could block most ranged attacks.

Steve had even trained himself to block arrows shot from five blocks away.

Just as he was observing the training, a message from the squad leader Yiyu interrupted his thoughts.

"Boss, our team was wiped out by Endermen from the End."

Seeing this, Steve immediately replied,

"What happened?"
