Online Game: I Started with Max Charisma and Caught the Goddess's Eye

Few people know that the famous Coarmy, Chief of the Celephais Police Department, is actually a player in the Eternal Game.

Although he wasn't part of the first wave of players to enter the Eternal World, his level had already reached Silver-grade.

Just a few days ago, he suddenly noticed a strange change in himself.

Not only had his strength increased, but he had also gained a very unusual ability—Perception.

He could now use his eyes to assess a person's strength, weaknesses, and vulnerabilities.

This, in fact, was his B-level talent ability—"Spirit Eyes"—which had awakened in the Eternal Game!

The abilities he had in the game were now appearing in the real world.

Even though he had prepared himself mentally for this, Coarmy was still deeply shaken by the experience.

It made him understand why the higher-ups were placing so much importance on these players.

So, when he received the investigation order, Coarmy immediately took charge and led a team to investigate those players who had shown signs of abnormal behavior.

Over the past few days, he had made significant progress with his abilities, uncovering many seemingly ordinary people who, in fact, had been receiving feedback from the game.

For instance, the internet café manager who could manipulate fire, or the game streamer who could control objects with his psychic abilities. Most of these players, with a few exceptions, had been absorbed into the official special organization Morning Star, becoming its members.

But Luca was different from these people.

In the past few days, Coarmy believed he had seen many inexplicable things, some of which even included non-human entities.

However, when he saw Luca, he felt a suffocating sense of fear that he hadn't experienced with anyone else, not even the most powerful players or monsters.

This young man, Luca, was unlike anyone Coarmy had encountered.

The life energy emanating from Luca was not the typical blue or red he had seen in other players.

It was a deep, mysterious purple!

Coarmy only had a brief glimpse, but the power hidden within Luca's seemingly ordinary body made his scalp tingle.

At that moment, Coarmy had the distinct feeling.

If Luca wanted to, he could instantly kill them all in an instant!

Even though they were armed and Coarmy himself was a player who had Transcendent abilities, the sheer power that Luca exuded made him feel completely outclassed.

Fortunately, Luca hadn't taken action against them before they left.

"We need to report this immediately!" Coarmy muttered, his brow furrowed in deep concern.

He had encountered B-ranked players before, but none of them had exuded such a strong sense of pressure! He was absolutely certain that Luca's danger level had reached A-rank!

A player of this caliber was beyond his ability to handle, and even ordinary people would have no chance against him. He had no choice but to call for higher-ups to intervene.

After all, compared to the mindless monsters, a player like Luca was far more difficult to deal with and manage…

The car drove on.

Soon, they arrived back at the police station.

Coarmy didn't waste any time.

Holding the player investigation report, he hurried back to his office.

He intended to contact his superiors.

But what he didn't expect was…

The office door, which had been tightly shut, was now open.

And someone was already waiting for him inside.

The young man was sitting in his chair, sipping coffee.

It seemed as though this wasn't the most powerful police station in Celephais, but rather his own home.

Luca smiled. "Director, I think your police department's car could use an upgrade. It's way too slow."

"You... How did you get here?!" Coarmy's pupils contracted, and his scalp went numb.

He knew that, aside from the traffic lights, they hadn't stopped at all during the drive.

Yet, this young man had not only arrived at the station ahead of them, but had also silently snuck into his office without them noticing?!

Realizing what had happened, Coarmy instinctively reached for his sidearm and opened his mouth to call for backup.

But Luca just smiled at him. He gathered his Mana Surge, and with a casual wave of his hand—

A flash of purple light flickered.

To Coarmy's astonishment.

Floating runes appeared in mid-air, forming a semi-transparent purple barrier that enclosed both of them.

Police officers walking past the office didn't even notice them, as though they no longer existed.

"What... is this... a secret spell?!" Coarmy sucked in a breath, his face pale with shock.

As a player himself, he recognized immediately what Luca was doing. And that realization only made him feel even more astonished. This young man hadn't just gained powers from the game, he had also learned the secret magic of NPCs?!

"Don't worry, I mean no harm. Otherwise, you'd already be dead by now." Luca set his coffee cup down.

He smiled and added, "Why don't you contact your superiors? I've got something to discuss with them."

Coarmy's lips twitched. After decades of facing danger and navigating through rough situations, this was the first time he had encountered such an arrogant young man!

However, there was also a sense of relief in his heart. Luca was right; with his own strength, if Luca had any ill intentions, Coarmy would likely already be dead.

After a brief hesitation, Coarmy reached into his desk drawer and retrieved a concealed satellite phone.

He dialed the number.

The phone was quickly answered.

An elderly voice came through the line.

With a hint of exasperation, the voice said, "What now? Another player refuses to join the organization and has defected?"

"Coarmy, what is it now…"

Before Coarmy could respond, the phone flew out of his hand and landed in Luca's.

Luca smiled. "Old man, Coarmy is my hostage. I'll release him if you agree to my terms."

He continued, "If you don't agree, I'm afraid all you'll find is his body."

Suddenly, both the office and the other end of the phone fell silent.

Not a sound came through for a long while.

"You… you… you…" Coarmy's mouth hung open in shock, staring at Luca.

He never imagined that this young man would turn on him so quickly.

Just a moment ago, he was saying he meant no harm, and now, in the blink of an eye, he was holding Coarmy hostage?

Did Luca even understand the consequences of saying such things?

The elderly man on the other end of the line was stunned for a long moment.

He had instructed Coarmy to find those players, yet instead of bringing anyone back, Coarmy had ended up getting captured by one himself?

Realizing this, the old man, named Drumph, found his breath becoming heavier.

His chest heaved as he quickly swallowed two heart pills, trying to calm himself down.

"What do you want?" he finally asked in a deep voice.

Coarmy was the head of the police station, and a player in his own right.

Moreover, he had special abilities and was responsible for evaluating the danger levels of all players around Celephais.

He couldn't just ignore this situation.

While speaking, Drumph gestured to the people around him.

Signaling them to quickly evacuate the civilians near the Celephais police station to avoid casualties.

But what Luca said next nearly made him slam his fist on the desk in frustration.

Inside the police station, Luca sat with his legs crossed, casually saying, "I want you to hand over all the investigation and research data related to Eternal Game and Zenith Technology Company. If you give me that, I'll release Coarmy. Otherwise, we're done here."

Coarmy's face darkened, and he couldn't help but mutter, "You might as well just kill me."

"Impossible!" As expected, Drumph didn't hesitate and immediately rejected the idea.

What a joke!

Those secrets and research materials were the result of countless resources and manpower.

Even if you didn't factor in the cost of acquiring them, the information contained within could potentially throw the entire world into chaos.

If they handed them over to this unknown brat, who knew what kind of disaster might follow?

Luca wasn't surprised by this.

He hadn't really expected to get all the materials anyway; he'd only said that to make the negotiation easier.

He smiled broadly and said, "Old man, don't rush to refuse. We can negotiate the price. You might not be able to hand over all the research materials, but surely you can provide the part about the game feedback, right?"

Luca still didn't fully understand the feedback mechanism of the game.

In his previous life, after the game fully arrived, he had heard that Summer Country had done research in this area. But before it could be implemented, the game had already arrived.

He wasn't sure where that plan had ended up, and no one ever revisited it afterward. After all, once the game had come, there seemed to be no point in studying the feedback mechanism anymore.

But for Luca right now—or rather, for his family—getting that information was crucial. Because as long as Donald and the others could acquire the power from the game, Luca wouldn't have to worry about their safety anymore, and he could focus on doing more important things.

On the other end of the line, there was silence again, as if Drumph was weighing the pros and cons.

After a while, Drumph finally spoke in a deep voice, "I can give you the research materials on game feedback, but Coarmy isn't worth that price."

Coarmy couldn't help but laugh wryly.

Although it was true, didn't the old man care about his feelings at all?

Luca raised an eyebrow and smiled. "So, what you're saying is, you want me to join 'Morning Star,' right?"

"Morning Star" was the official Transcendent organization of Summer Country, and it had only recently been formed. It would later become quite well-known.

In the future, when all the countries had merged into the Human Federation, "Morning Star" would join with other official organizations and change its name to "Stellar Union," which would be recognized as the largest global organization in the world.

In his previous life, Luca had even held an honorary seat in their congress.

Drumph was a powerful member of that organization, and Luca had interacted with him a lot back then.

On the other end of the line, Drumph chuckled and said, "Exactly, and not just the player data! If you join Morning Star, I can have someone bring you any other research materials you want!"

This kid was strong enough to easily subdue Coarmy, which spoke volumes about his potential. If they could recruit such a player into their organization, they could not only handle the Transcendent incidents in Celephais but also boost the prestige of their new organization.

Moreover, members of Morning Star already had access to research materials.

All things considered, it was like they were getting a top-tier player for free.

This was a win-win deal!
