1 Opening Eyes In The New World

In front of a computer sat – Su Jun, a youth of twenty-two years old with black hair, black eyes and a slim build. He wore a wide smile on his face and wondered who will he meet, who will he romance and who will he kill, all while waiting for the installation of the newest RPG he bought minutes ago to finish.

The installation finished and Su Jun without waiting for anything booted up the game by double-clicking on the game's icon. The cinematic started playing and the excitement in his eyes intensified, to the point where he started giggling like a teenage girl that got asked out on a date for the first time. The cinematic finished and the main menu opened. He hastily clicked on <New Game> button and just at that time, out of nowhere lightning struck. It entered through his opened window and struck both him and his computer. His life flashed through his eyes and before a single thought or word left his mouth his consciousness faded away but then not even a second later, he felt it return and his eyes snapped open.

Opening his eyes, Su Jun was not greeted with his computer screen or with the walls of his room or with the ceiling of his room. He was greeted with bright sun and he squinted his eyes in response. But then, memories flashed through his head. His own memories of how he died and new memories that belonged to a person also named Su Jun and he became dumbfounded about both his death and these new memories.

This other Su Jun didn't live on earth, he lived on a continent named Feijing, he also wasn't twenty-two years old but fifteen years old and was labelled as trash because of his talent and because of this label, this world's Su Jun committed suicide.

When Su Jun was still in dumbfounded by his old and new memories, a voice sounded in his head, "You have been selected by the RPG system. Please use this RPG system, to reach the top of the world"

"Who said that?" Su Jun said as he turned his head in all directions looking for the source of the voice but instead of finding it, he saw a boar.

<Magical Boar, Level 5 (Martial Mortal Rank 1)>

Su Jun's eyes widened when he saw text above the boar and he kept staring at those several lines of text that appeared in his eyes.

'I need to calm down,' Su Jun took a deep breath, closed his eyes and when he did, his surroundings changed. He was now in a place with no sun and darkness around him but in this darkness, there was a table, a chair and computer. 'What the heck?' he approached the computer. On the computer screen, he saw his name and below the name, a button – <Login> and below the button another message and below them another button.

<For opening the system for the first time you will be rewarded with the gift>

<Redeem>

Su Jun closed his eyes, 'I pressed the play button, the lightning struck me and I died. Then I opened my eyes and I was alive, then memories that I didn't live through flashed through my head, a voice sounded in my head and I saw text above the boar and finally, I closed my eyes and I appeared in this strange place with nothing but a table and a computer…before I accept this as reality, I have to make sure this isn't a dream.' He pinched himself on his arm and he felt the pain as per normal and mumbled, "So I am not dreaming… and that means that I have transmigrated into the body of this world's Su Jun who committed suicide and not only that but I also have an RPG system."

Su Jun laughed out loud and said, "This is the best, finally games and reality have fused into one!" He sat down on the chair and clicked the <Login> button with the mouse, the screen flashed and a lot of choices appeared on the screen.

<Character, Skills, Relationships, Professions, Pets>

Su Jun dragged the mouse and clicked on <Character> option; new window opened.

<Name: Su Jun, Gender: Male, Race: Human, Age: 15, Level: 0 (Martial Mortal Rank 0)>

<Martial Talent: F>

<Strength: F, Intellect: A+, Agility: F, Charisma: D, Endurance: F, Vitality: F>

<Back, Log out>

'What do these letters are even supposed to mean…' Su Jun shook his head, clicked <Back> and returning to the main menu clicked on the second option <Skills>.

In the <Skills> window there were two options, <Learn New Skills> and <View All skills>, he clicked <View all skills> and a window opened with one item in the list, <Basic QI Training Method>, he clicked it and a new window opened once again.

<Upgrade Cost: 2000 system points>

<Commit, Back>

Su Jun returned back to <Skills> window and then clicked <Learn New Skills>, but when he did that, a bar appeared and it started to slowly fill up; several minutes passed and a message flashed.

<Skill Database updated>

<All skills of the continent are now learnable>

A new window opened and it prompted him to select the skill category. The skill categories went from rank F all the way to rank SSS+, but skills from rank E were greyed out and not clickable. Su Jun selected the F-rank and more than a thousand skills appeared. Seeing the number of skills, he just closed the window and returned to the main menu.

Su Jun clicked on the next option, <Relationships>. In the new window there was also a list but in this list, there was only a single name.

<Yi Ya, Friend>

Clicking on the girl's name, a new window appeared.

<Name: Yi Ya, Gender: Female, Race: Human, Age: 16, Level 0 (Martial Mortal Rank 0)>

<Martial Talent: E>

<Back, Logout>

Su Jun returned back to the main menu and clicked <Professions> option; he was shown the list of professions that he could learn. He then returned back to the main menu as he didn't want to make any decisions and tried clicking in <Pets> option but it didn't work as it was greyed out.

'That's all the options… I didn't redeem the gift yet,' Su Jun returned back to the first screen and clicked on the button, <Redeem>

<Randomising gift>

<Gift Received>

<Martial Talent elevated to rank SSS>

Su Jun smiled and clicked the button, <Logout> His eyes opened and he shielded them as the sun was directly in front of him. He rose up from the ground and looked around. 'Before coming here to kill himself, Su Jun had failed sect examination which requires at least E-rank martial talent, I will be able to pass it now as I have SSS rank talent,' he walked in the direction of the village ignoring the boar that he saw before closing his eyes.

Walking a few meters, he stopped as he saw a high cliff and memory of him jumping down from it flashed through his head. 'No wonder he died, no human could survive a fall from a cliff this tall… now how do I ascend it,' After searching his head for information, he chuckled and approached the wall, 'I have never done this, but here goes.'

Scaling the cliff, Su Jun breathed a sigh of relief and continued walking back to the village. The village where he was ridiculed for having no talent. Returning back, he was met with jeers but he ignored them and walked in the direction of the testing stone. Arriving at the stone, he saw the elder sitting there. The elder raised his head and looked at Su Jun, "What do you want here trash?"

"Can I get tested again?" Su Jun said.

The elder sneered, "You can, but trash will always be trash!"

Su Jun smiled and placed his hand on the stone. The stone started glowing, changing colours at every moment, this phenomenon made the elder stand up and stare in shock, but then an explosion rang out and elder's face became dumbfounded; the testing stone shattered.

"You are no trash, you are a bloody genius!" the elder shouted out with excitement on his face and all the negatives feelings for the youth disappeared in an instant.

Su Jun smiled, "Do I pass elder?"

The elder just nodded his head, "Of course you pass, you are the best seedling our sect has seen since it's establishment… It is good that you came when you did, little later, and I would have already left for the sect now follow me."

Su Jun smiled once more, "Yes, elder," he said and followed the elder who led him to the location where the other disciples were gathered. Looking around, Su Jun stopped his eyes on a girl as when he looked at her, warm feeling rose up in his heart and a memory accompanied it.

"Yi Ya, hey!" Su Jun shouted out. Yi Ya had black mid-length straight hair, brown eyes, slightly above average face and body.

The girl turned her head and when she saw Su Jun, her eyes widened in shock and she ran up to him. "What are you doing here?" she asked.

Before Su Jun could answer the elder answered for him, "Why shouldn't he be here, he is a bloody genius, no, he is the most brilliant seedling I have ever seen!"

To the elder's praise Su Jun felt slightly embarrassed, so he just scratched his head.

Yi Ya smiled brightly and laughed, "I knew it! I knew that we would always be together, all of us"
