Ch 1_ Transmigration

Inside the depths of the forest, a lifeless body slowly began to stir. The boy's eyelids fluttered, and he opened his eyes, and sat up.

When I opened my eyes, I found myself lying on the soil ground. I sat up and leaned against the tree. as pain shot through my body. I was covered in wounds and injuries.

I checked the unknown surroundings, trying to understand, what had happened. Suddenly my head started to hurt as memories that were not mine, replayed in my mind at a high speed.

" I have been transmigrated into the Cultivation world and the name of this person is the same as mine ", that is the conclusion he came upon.

"But how?, I just went to sleep in my bed after returning from work." I felt dizzy after seeing the memories.

Damian was an engineering student, scraping by on a scholarship that only covered his tuition fees. To support himself, he took on part-time jobs, struggling to make ends meet..

He is an orphan without any friends or a lover. He tried many times to get committed at college but was unsuccessful in his quest. Finally, he died as a virgin.

While I was confused about the whole situation, a sound echoed in my ears. As I turned my face, he saw a blue screen floating in the air.

( The system is ready for Reboot.

Reboot/ Cancel )

He was surprised and thrilled. He gladly chooses to reboot the system. He knows that this is the golden opportunity to change his fate.

The body I had transmigrated into possessed no talent for Cultivation, which had led the previous inhabitant to be ignored and abused by both servants and his own family.

"Thinking about his family. There was no familial love or belonging." Damian wants to stay as far as from them.

He was an orphan but he knows what is mother's love from the sister that run the orphanage. She cares about every child and showered us with love, filling the void in our hearts left by our parents.

From the memories, he received. The strong were respected while the weak will be taken advantage of. Therefore, he understands that only with the necessary strength can he protect himself.

While Damian was in his thoughts the system was rebooted.

( System reboot completed )

( Starting Gift has been sent to the inventory )

With that, the knowledge about and its function appeared in his mind.

It is called the Cultivation System. It is currently with only two functions unlocked. They are _Inventory_ and _Quest_.

Inventory helps store things and it is a space compared to a small room. The system will quest that will provide rewards upon completion with no penalty.

Whispering in my mind, I uttered, "Status." A new panel materialized, displaying my information. A new panel opened with his information.

Name: Damian

Race: Human

Cultivation: None

Spiritual roots: - Nil -

Not particularly impressive," I remarked, unimpressed by my initial status. Next, I opened the inventory to claim my starting gift.

( Do you wish to open the Starting Gift?)

(Y/N?)

Damian chose 'Yes', and a small gift box in his hand slightly glowed and disappeared into particles.

(Ding! you have obtained 1X drop of Red Luan Bird)

( Ding! you have obtained the Ancient Yang Scripture. )

( Ding! you have obtained a Medium Teleportation Talisman.)

( Ancient Yang Scripture and Medium Teleportation Talisman have been stored in the inventory. )

Damian was shocked by the items he got. But to them was sent to the inventory leaving him with the Red Luan Blood.

A small, warm drop of red blood materialized, accompanied by faint cries of birds. I heard them clearly as the blood slowly moved.

( Injecting the drop of Red Luan Blood )

As the blood slowly moved towards him and entered his heart, it rapidly spread throughout his entire body, bringing about a sensation of heat and causing him to sweat in the cold weather..

After a few moments, the blood completed its infusion, leaving behind a foul smell and black sticky residue on his skin.

( Ding! The host has obtained a low-grade Fire Spiritual Root. )

( Ding! Congratulations to the Host for taking the first step in Cultivation.)

( Ding! The Host breaks the shackles of Mortal and enters the First Level of the Body Refining Realm.)

( Awarding with Cultivation Robe & Swift Blade. )

Damian was given a joyful shock. He knows the importance of Spiritual Roots to a cultivator.

Spiritual Roots determine the talent of Cultivation and affinity. They have different grades for Spiritual Roots.

Lowest

Low

Medium

High

Superior

His previous self was assessed with no spiritual roots. Meaning he will not be able to cultivate unless he was given Heavenly Treasures.

But how could a family, full of cultivation genius, use their precious resource on an untalented him?

If his father tried as a family head, he could surely help Damian. But he did visit him to encourage or support him.

Only after the awakening ceremony, did Luke start to Bully him. It started as little things but His father showed no concern. The bullying became harsh.

He was beaten by Luke whenever he feels like it.

---

All his previous wounds were healed from the magical power of the Red Luan Blood. He picked himself up from the ground and stood straight.

He was stinking, and he knows he needs to take a bath but his brother might kill him if he returned.

He decided to use the Teleportation Talisman to go far away from here.

He thought about the talisman in the inventory and it appeared in his hands

( Medium Teleportation Talisman)

The talisman can teleport the user 10,000 miles away from the current location.

Damian decided to take the risk and used it.

The talisman in his hand started to burn in blue flame. On that gloaming night, it burned beautifully. Damian knows how to use the talisman from the knowledge given by the system.

He throws it to the ground. The flame immediately spread on the ground, forming a circle with him at its centre.

After a flash, Damian was teleported from the spot, only leaving a slight burn mark on the ground.
