Just as Xie Feng was leaving the large square in which he was currently standing, a completely different and unexpected announcement of the system echoed in his ears:
[For an unknown reason one of the 3 forbidden objects of the Samsara world, the ’Ring of the God of Destruction’ has chosen you as its Master and you cannot refuse it!]
Xie Feng, who had just left the crowded place and had come to a slightly quieter place, stood in awe of what he had just heard.
Forbidden Object?
Items within the Samsara world are divided as follows from minor to major:
Steel
Iron
Bronze
Silver
Gold
Immortal
Heaven
God
Holy
Forbidden
At the beginning of the game the system gives each player an steel grade armor and a weapon depending on the fighting style that each has decided when distributing their status points.
Then, if one is lucky enough one can get steel or bronze grade items at the beginning of the game.
If one is lucky enough he/she can even get a silver item, becoming a target of envy for everyone.
As for gold equipment, they usually appear in more advanced stages of the game. However, there are always people with heavenly luck or people with real skill who, when challenging a higher level monster, get a gold grade item
Immortal range equipment can appear in intermediate-advanced stages of the game and are always a minuscule and pitiful amount compared to the number of players
The Heaven-grade equipment has only an extremely small chance of appearing in the final stages of the game and never exceeds the number of fingers on one hand.
God-grade equipment can only be obtained for a limited time by winning certain extremely difficult events near the end of the game. The time limit is usually no more than 30 days and then the object will be removed by the system.
Holy grade equipment? that’s just a dream. A player cannot come in contact with items of that level.
If equipment grade Holy is absolutely impossible, then it is now clear why the highest level item has as its rank name the word Forbidden.
After knowing all this, one can imagine the shock that Xie Feng received when he heard the system announcement.
Xie Feng’s mouth was so open that a rhinoceros could probably enter and live inside.
After he calmed down a bit, Xie Feng ran out of the place he was in. He just stopped after running for almost 10 minutes and arrived behind a house slightly apart from the rest.
Xi Feng quickly opened his inventory and swallowed his saliva when he saw a dark black ring inside.
The ring was completely black except for several sapphire blue runes that adorned it, which made it look really impressive.
Xie Feng took the ring out of inventory and before he could do anything, the ring was attached to the index finger of his right hand.
Xie Feng did not bother to try to remove it, however why would he want to remove such an item?
In addition, Xie Feng also asked himself a ridiculous question:
’Could it be that the Ring of the God of Destruction chose me as its master because my name is Shiva?’
Although it is a 100% stupid and meaningless question, Xie Feng could not think of any other reason why such an item would choose him.
Stopping thinking about stupid things, Xie Feng lightly touched the ring to see its bonus stats.
Soon, a window appeared in front of him with the information about the ring.
Ring of the God of Destruction (sealed):
Millions of years ago, the God of Destruction destroyed the universe along with the rest of the gods because his beloved, the Goddess of Destiny was killed in a cruel ambush. After destroying everything, the God of Destruction took off the ring that had accompanied him throughout his life and destroyed himself. After a century, the Goddess of Destiny who had used a forbidden art to keep her soul complete after being killed finally had the ability to move. The Goddess of Destiny cried for another 100 years because she could only watch her lover commit suicide, however, the Ring of the God of Destruction had protected a part of its master’s soul. The Goddess of Destiny, with a slight living hope within her, sent the soul fragment of the only man she loved in her whole life to the place where all souls must pass to reincarnate, the Wheel of Samsara. After reforming the universe, the Goddess of Destiny divided her soul in two and sent one half to the Wheel of Samsara in the hope of meeting again her beloved.
For some unknown reason, the Ring of the God of Destruction came to the world of Samsara a thousand years ago in a sealed status. Seals 4/4
Even before reading the ring’s statistics, Xie Feng was stunned as he muttered:
"Wow...the creators of Samsara Online sure have a good imagination."
Then, he finally looked at the statistics of the item, which was what mattered most to him.
[Sealed Ring of the God of Destruction -
[Equipment grade: Immortal (4/4 seal)
Already forcibly accepted the master.
Owner: Shiva
It can’t be traded, dropped, stolen, or discarded.]
+1000 points of MP / +200 points of HP / 50% increase of magical attack power / 10% regeneration of MP per second / +150 points of magical attack / 20% chance of causing Destruction effect / 5% chance of causing absolute death effect.
Even without seeing if the ring had any skills or effects attached, just seeing those bonuses Xie Feng couldn’t wipe the big smile off his face.
In fact, it is worthy of being a Forbidden Rank item, even in a state where it has 4 seals it is already so powerful. Xie Feng can’t imagine what the ring would look like in its glory.
Xie Feng quickly continued to look at the information window of the ring and when he read its contents, the big smile on his face disappeared completely. The big smile that had previously been on his face gradually disappeared like a slowly deflating balloon.
Below the properties of the ring, this was the text that the window displayed:
[Change: For unknown reasons, the Ring of the God of Destruction forcefully changes the appearance of its holder (It can be deactivated twice a day for 30 minutes)]
[Destroyer Protection: When the user is in danger, the Ring of the God of Destruction throws a destructive attack that drains 10% of the enemy’s HP. It cannot be dodged, it cannot be blocked. It does not matter level or grade. Note: It can only be used once a day on the same enemy. Note 2: In case a monster attacks the user with its right arm, the right arm will be destroyed.]
[Prohibition of Heaven: the amount of experience you receive is reduced by half.]
[Hate of Gods: when you die your level will return to 0 immediately.]
[Divine appearance: charm +20]
[Attached skills: -
Fast movement: Increases movement speed by 50 points for 20 seconds. Cooldown: 2 hours. Consumes: 300 MP
Small Fireball: Throw a fireball to attack a single target. Damage caused is 100% of the magic attack. Cooldown: 2 seconds. Consumes: 100 MP
Dark Lightning: Releases a chain of lightning strikes all enemies 10 meters in front of the user. The damage caused is 100% of the magic attack. Cooldown: 1 minute. Consumes 170 MP
Forbidden skill: Destroy everything. This skill is blocked because the ring is sealed.]
Honestly, Xie Feng didn’t know how to feel. He didn’t know very well if he should celebrate or curse. There is no doubt that the ring was incredibly powerful, however, the two curses he had were also extremely scary.
Getting half the experience for each monster means that to level up you need twice the normal experience. This also means that if a normal person takes 2 days to level up, Xie Feng will take 4 days if he follows the same steps as that person.
As for the curse called Hate of the Gods, it is no longer as simple as saying the word scary.
Every time a player dies, he usually loses 1 level as a punishment. Losing all the levels and returning to level 0 is something that never happened in the history of video games, no matter if it is virtual or not.
The Hate of the Gods curse is undoubtedly one of the cruelest punishments a player can receive.
Xie Feng tried to take off his ring, however, the most feared thing happened.
The ring seemed to have stuck to his finger and could not be removed! No matter how Xie Feng tried, the ring refused to come off his right hand.
"Damn! What is this all about!" -Xie Feng shouted out loud to let out the frustration he felt.
It took him several breaths to calm down and accept reality. Xie Feng tried to see the positive side of things as he opened his status window:
[Player: Shiva]

Seeing his MP, HP and his magic attack value, Xie Feng felt much better. His magic attack value is on par with level 30 players.
In addition, to the value of 170, you must also remember the 50% damage increase bonus of every magic attack given by the Ring of the God of Destruction.
Another thing that Xie Feng rejoiced about is that during the creation of his character he chose to put all his fixed attribute points to luck since the ring gave him 20 charisma points as a bonus.
Thinking about all these things, Xie Feng smiled again and opened his inventory. Inside the inventory was a wand and armor.
Depending on how each person distributes their status points during character creation, the system will give a weapon that fits the path chosen by the player.
For example: Xie Feng naturally chose the path of magic by choosing to increase mainly INT instead of STR or AGI, therefore he was given a wand.
If Xie Feng had increased his STR attribute, instead of a wand he would have gotten a sword. If instead of increasing INT or STR Xie Feng had increased his AGI attribute, the system would understand that his chosen path was that of an assassin or archer so it would give him a dagger.
Xie Feng looked at the statistics of the wand and the armor:
[Novice wand:
Equipment requirements: None
Grade: Steel
Property: Magic attack +2]
[Novice armor:
Equipment Requirement: None
Grade: Steel
Property: Defense +1]
Xie Feng equipped the novice armor quickly. Although the appearance of the armor was extremely coarse and its defense pitiful, it was better than nothing.
Xie Feng took the wand out of inventory and tried to equip it.
However, no matter how much he tried, all his efforts were wasted.
Furious with the situation, Xie Feng raised his head to the heavens and shouted:
"Someone tell me what the hell is going on now!"
Something he did not expect happened:
The ring on the index finger of his right-hand flashed, as if to say it was its fault.
Xie Feng’s eyebrow grew several times as he contained the urge to curse again. After breathing several times to calm down again, Xie Feng decided to stop thinking.
Xie Feng opened the minimap option and began walking toward the potion store as he could see a yellow dot blinking on it, indicating an available mission.
After running for 2 or 3 minutes, Xie Feng arrived at the entrance of the potion store. The potion store was a rather rough and unkempt store compared to the rest of the houses around, which showed how careless the NPC was inside.
Just as Xie Feng was about to enter the potion store, passing through a glass window he saw an extremely handsome young man; probably the most handsome young man he had ever seen.
Although Xie Feng is 100% heterosexual, he has no problem admitting when a guy has the ability to easily attract women.
Xie Feng spat on the floor while cursing quietly:
"Go die."
While Xie Feng’s appearance is not unpleasant, it is not dazzling either. You could say that his appearance is slightly above average.
However, just as Xie Feng spat, he saw that the man in the window also spat, which surprised him.
Suddenly Xie Feng seemed to think of something and ran to the window.
The man at the window also ran up to the window.
Xie Feng suddenly remembered a property of the ring that he had neglected until now:
Change!
That’s right, the person in the window was a reflection of Xie Feng himself!
If one looked carefully one could notice some similarities with his actual appearance. His hair was dark as ink, yet his eye color went from black to bright gold.
His body also became a little taller and slightly more robust.
Xie Feng looked at the ring on his hand and clenched his teeth:
"What the hell? Are you telling me I’m ugly or something?"
Xie Feng was so frustrated with everything that happened to him in the last 10 minutes that he forgot where he was and hit the glass window.
*Bang*
The glass exploded into pieces.
A player cannot destroy structures created by the system unless he has the effect ’Destruction’. It turns out that the 20% chance of destruction given by the ring was activated and destroyed the window of the store.
Xie Feng was stunned to see the broken glass when an angry cry brought him out of his daze:
"Hey! You fucking brat you think you’re doing!"
Xie Feng looked quickly and saw an old hunchbacked and disheveled man coming out of the store while yelling at him.
Xie Feng did not hesitate, turned around and ran away.
While running, Xie Feng could not help but think:
’If I hadn’t added 10 points to my luck that effect wouldn’t have been activated so easily!’
