Global Awakening: Infinite Gift Pack System

Kai immediately shook his head. Instead of trading Plasma Cells for credits, he remembered something important... he had left his account linked here.

In short, survivors in Cameron City could actually purchase items from his shop using Perfect World’s digital currency.

That meant his store had been earning steadily even while he was away. He was curious how much had accumulated over the past few weeks.

With that thought in mind, Kai informed Farrah that he would enter the game world for a few hours.

"Alright! Leave the store to me! Just make sure to send another person here. I can’t stay here forever. I need to focus on leveling up as well!"

"Ok! Don’t worry. I made some arrangements already."

Farrah finally nodded thought she was still distracted by the crate of Plasma Cells.

Just like that, Kai slipped into his small room. He placed the Neural Gear over his head, and the familiar sensation of synchronization washed over him...

Whom~

When his vision cleared, Kai was no longer in Cameron City. He was standing in the bustling square of Reverie Town, the beginner town where his journey had first begun.

It had been a while since he last logged in, but the town hadn’t changed much. There weren’t many new players around in this place.

Well, even if there were thousands of players in this game, they would most likely leave this beginner town in a few weeks or so.

"This really feels amazing... It doesn’t feel like a game at all."

Although there weren’t players like him around, the cobblestone streets were still lively, filled with adventurers, merchants, and townsfolk.

The air carried the scent of baked bread and iron from the blacksmith’s forge nearby...

Kai—or Traceless, as he was known here—flexed his fingers.

He immediately felt the subtle weakening of his strength.

Still, his new Gene Skills from the real world had synchronized into the game system.

His status window reflected them, and he knew his combat potential had risen sharply despite having a low-level character.

Also, he felt that it was a good thing he had taken time away since now, he was stronger than before.

As he stood in the square, a town guard approached him.

"Traceless! Guard Captain Katrina is looking for you."

Kai blinked, then nodded. He remembered the mission he had completed with Katrina before...

[ Mission: Assist the Guard Captain in training recruits. ]

[ Reward: 250 Experience Points, 1 Skill Scroll of choice. ]

At that time, he had completed the mission and still had one unused Skill Scroll sitting in his inventory. Missions that rewarded skills were incredibly rare, and he knew he had been lucky to find it.

He followed the guard to the training grounds near the barracks. There, Katrina was waiting with her armor looking pristine and her sword at her side. She spotted him immediately and smiled.

"Traceless. You came back at the right time," she said firmly.

"I need your help again. The recruits are green, and they need someone experienced to guide them. Will you accept?"

A system window appeared before Kai.

[ Mission Available: Assist the Guard Captain in training recruits. ]

[ Reward: 550 Experience Points, 1 Skill Scroll of choice. ]

Kai’s eyes lit up.

As expected, it was the same mission but with higher experience points.

He didn’t hesitate. "I’ll accept."

He already forgot that he planned to check the amount of game credits he had earned through the trades in the real world.

[ Mission Accepted. ]

As soon as the mission got accepted, Katrina gestured toward the recruits lined up nearby.

"Good. Then let’s begin."

Kai turned to look at them... and immediately realized this time would be different.

"Mhmm?"

The recruits weren’t just ordinary townsfolk holding wooden swords. These were younger adventurers, probably players who had recently joined the game.

’They’re all wearing novice sets... I guess that shelter would send Survivors as young as 12 to play this game. I guess that’s not a bad idea to obtain Gene Skills and have combat experience without real danger.’

One boy held a rusty spear...

Another girl clutched a short sword, but for some reason, she seemed a bit too nervous.

Then, a third recruit carried a shield almost too heavy for him, and he was wobbling as he tried to stand firm... As for the rest, they seemed just like NPCs to him.

Kai exhaled. ’So it’s not just NPC recruits this time. Real players too.’

"I guess this will be quite different."

Katrina nodded.

"Yes. The town has opened training for newcomers. They need guidance, and you’ve proven yourself capable. Show them how to fight, how to survive."

Kai stepped forward... The only reason he was able to accept the mission before was due to the number of Gene Skills that he had.

At that time, he had to show various Skills, showing the Trainees the future that they could obtain.

***

Traceless then raised a hand. "First, remove your weapons and equipment. For now, you won’t need them."

The recruits exchanged glances but obeyed, setting down their spears, swords, and shields. The clatter of steel echoed across the training ground.

Even the NPCs followed suit, stacking their wooden practice weapons neatly.

Traceless finally stepped forward.

"I’ll show you something different. These aren’t ordinary weapons... they’re bound to me and they’re called Gene Weapons."

He extended his right arm, and with a faint light appeared...

Just like that, the Strength Gauntlet manifested, encasing his hand in a heavy, spirit‑infused iron.

The recruits gasped as they saw this happen.

"This is the Strength Gauntlet," Kai explained. "It enhances my physique, grip strength, and melee power. Every strike carries more weight than a normal blow."

He dismissed it with a flick of his hand, then summoned the War Lance.

The long weapon unfolded in his grasp, and it was quite fascinating how it appeared out of nowhere...

"This is my War Lance. A weapon that is mainly used to pierce armor..."

The recruits murmured in awe. To them, it was like watching a magician conjure weapons from thin air.

Finally, Kai summoned Specter Edge, the spirit‑infused dagger.

It had an unsettling aura that made others really curious.

These Gene Weapons were what made Katrina hire Traceless once again to do some demonstration and help her.

In this Beginner Town, not many people could have such Gene Weapons after all.

And as expected, the recruits were immediately captivated...

"That’s amazing, Sir! But may I ask why you are still here? We heard that the people with Gene Weapons were already hunting tri-horned or even four-horned beasts..." One of the recruits asked, stunning Traceless for a moment.
