- Description from Novelupdates

He Chuan transmigrated to an alternate world where everyone could reincarnate.

In this world, all citizens who reached 18 years old could acquire a chance to temporarily reincarnate to another world.

They could reincarnate to various worlds such as an Eastern fantasy world, Xianxia world, Western fantasy world, an urban world with advanced martial arts, or even a sci-fi world of the future.

They would acquire a mission along with the ability required to survive in that particular world.

If they successfully completed the mission, they would become a permanent Reincarnator. They could then embark on the journey of being rich and successful.

If they failed the mission, they would become ordinary commoners. The gates to the new worlds would be forever closed to them.

He Chuan reincarnated to his first world.

[You reincarnated into a world of martial arts. You are an orphan and a loser. You awakened the Deduction System.]

He Chuan devoted himself to deducting various kinds of martial arts. He extracted the essence of each technique and merged them into a unique system.

In the end, he became the greatest legend in Jianghu.

[You acquired S rank evaluation. You may choose to keep the power you gained during this reincarnation and use it again in your future reincarnations.]

He Chuan chose to keep the Deduction System decisively.

He then reincarnated to his second world.

[You reincarnated to a fantasy world. You are talented and are the eldest son in the royal family.]

Sit back and enjoy as He Chuan breaks through the limits of the world and crushes the void.

For the sake of his family, Ren embarked on the popular VRMMORPG, COVENANT, that used real-time in-game currency. But being a mediocre player who only knows how to gather information, he was put in a supporting role.

As the game explodes in popularity and every multibillion-dollar company invested in the game, things have turned for the worse for Ren. Due to the amount of information he gathered, the cheats, secrets, quests, and bugs he discovered, he was silent in fear of selling the information to the other guilds.

But given a second chance, he went back in time when his father was still alive and COVENANT was just in its starting phase.

This time . . . he wouldn’t be that guy on the side who gathered information from day in and day out for ten years.

Equipped with the games knowledge he accumulated, he will become . . . an Alchemist!

Chrono Mage? Djin Master? Summoner? Necromancer?
Chaos Lord?

What good are those?

Sure they’re powerful and rare classes and sought after by guilds, but it’s the alchemist who forged artifacts and concocts rare items and potions that gets the most coins at the end of the day!

It was better than being a blacksmith or a crafter! Plus, he could use all sorts of magic without limit to race and class!

It was the ultimate class! And no one even knows it!
