David Lee was currently going through the bliss of life as the goddess before him stroked every inch of his body, but unfortunately, all that came into an end when the woman mercilessly shoved him to the ground.
"Why is there a useless tool in an immortal ruins?" She said coldly before kicking his body away, he flew a few dozens of meters before crashing at the edge of a pillar.

He felt the pain of the harsh collide wholeheartedly, his mind went into a state of shock and all the blissful moments she gave him evaporated instantly.
He couldn't help but cry out inwardly because he has no voice-box, so he couldn't make a human sound, let alone talk openly.
So even if he wanted to warn people that he was a living being, he wouldn't be able to do so.
David found himself in an underground ruins where there were many treasures of different types, all around the underground treasure room were waves of glowing crystal gems that emitted strong pulsing power, treasured weapons that look sharp enough to cleave an entire mountain, thousand year old scrolls with unearthed secrets, and then there was himself.
He was a bland ordinary bicycle that was used to travel to school on Earth, and his only redeeming feature is that his body, the bicycle, had a soul, except any of these people inside the 'so called immortal ruins' did not notice the fact.
They regarded him as trash, a scrap toy used by people from the golden era to pass time.
"My father made me promise to give one treasure from this immortal ruins to my trash of a twin sister, so give her that useless tool, huuuumpft, it's fitting for a trash to be given trash, how dare she try to covert our own gains, we found this ruin through our sweat and blood, and yet our sister wants a piece of the rewards without risking her own life to excavate the ruins, what a piece of trash!" The Goddess... No, the Demoness haughty voice echoed throughout the entire underground lair.
"Yes, how dare that girl try and covert our wealth, we went through all the traps, monsters and combat puppets, we even lost a few of our servants to get to this place, Master, I will deliver this lump of trash to that trash myself, don't sully your hands and time, let me do all the dirty work" A young sword maid said while bowing to the wicked Demoness.
"Good, hehe, my father didn't exemplify what kind of treasure to give to sister, so we will give her this without wasting any of the other treasure with immense value, furthermore, I will give a satisfactory salary raise to everyone who had journeyed here, and also for those that had died, I will give the family of the dead a salary boon too" The Demoness said loudly, and everyone cheered with happiness.
'Wait, this Demoness is actually kind and reasonable? Then stop kicking me! Owe'
-11 Health Points (72/100 HP).
Once again, he was kicked, and saw his health plummet down, although not as much as before because the Demoness didn't want to totally ruin the strange tool, or else her father might not qualify this tool as a treasure, but as long as it looked to be in good condition, she could pull off the loophole of the promise she made her father, smoothly.
The sword maid then picked up David and carried him on her back, while the Demoness stored all the other treasures in her storage ring.
David was shocked to see that a ring could suck in all the treasures, from that moment on, he knew that he was in another world. It was similar to those reincarnation novels that he always find time to read at the local library, though he never heard of someone reincarnating into a bicycle!
'Damn you heavens! I'll repay you with blood for making a fool out of me! I want to see my sister again...' David felt that reality had made a cruel joke out of him for he is now a powerless bicycle in a land of the unknown, he use to be confident and outgoing, a young man capable of taking matters into his own hand and became self-reliance at a young age.
But now it was the total opposite, he had to rely on others completely because he was a bike!
'Would anyone even know how to use me?' He thought strangely.
The Demoness camp all ran out with immense speed, they rush past many corpses along the way to the exit of the immortal ruins, David was shocked at all the dead monsters and puppets left laying around, the smell would had been too nauseating with the surrounding blood and gore, except he was lucky that he couldn't smell.
If it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't pass out, he would had long passed out because of the shocking predicament that he found himself in, he also couldn't move his own body, he tried to, but it took too much strain just thinking about doing so.
He was at the mercy of the sword maid while the whole crew made it towards a ship, though David did find it odd that there was a ship mounted on top of a small hill instead of a sea. Once everyone was on the ship, it oddly flew.
David just gave up on common sense, anything new he see's from now on, he would disregard it, he had no energy to get shocked anymore so he found himself enjoying the flight.
The ship were similar to those from a cartoon movie he had seen when he was young, and when his parents were still alive, a move called Tr**sure Planet.
One week later...
David was just left to the side of the deck during the journey, he saw many strange sights, the vast space of the sky, millions of stars, the red sun, the twin moons, and the gossips of the world all from the deck of a flying ship.
He was fairly bored being placed on the side without the means of moving around, but the rumors kept him occupied, he heard of many relationship feuds, marriage proposal, the top ten beauty list, fighting competitions etc.
Though it was interesting, he had no interest in these kinds of things, except for the cultivation strength and artifact tiers.
For humans and monsters, they have a universal cultivation strength list, though that it didn't matter to him anymore, it wasn't bad to remember this kind of detail.
There were two pathways for humans, humanoids, monsters etc, they were Body and Qi cultivation stages. In order, they go like this.
Body: Mortal Human Stage 1 to 9 - Mortal Tiger Stage 1 to 9, Mortal Dragon Stage 1-9, Warlord Stage 1 to 9, there were apparently more after Warlord stage but they didn't know what.
Qi: Mortal Qi Stage 1 to 9 - Mortal Crane Stage 1 to 9 - Mortal Phoenix Stage 1-9, Warlock Stage 1 to 9, there were also more stages after this.
The strongest person on the ship was Mortal Dragon Stage 1 and Mortal Phoenix Stage 4, and that was the Demoness.
For artifacts like himself, there were only one pathway.
The grades went from.
Ordinary - Grade 1 - Grade 2 - Grade 3 etc.
Grade 1 was equivalent to Mortal Human/Qi Stage, Grade 2 was equivalent to Mortal Tiger/Crane Stage and Grade 3 was equivalent to Mortal Dragon/Phoenix Stage. But David was currently an ordinary stage bicycle, a complete trash, it was no wonder no one wanted to know how he worked.
From Grade 1 and onward, they each further divided into lower, middle, top and peak. The strongest artifact found in the immortal ruins was a fiery black obsidian hook-like sword, which was at Peak of Grade 3.
The Demoness happily waved the sword each day and night, getting familiar with it, but each time she walks onto the deck, she sneered at the piece of scrap metal left laying on the side as if it were an eyesore.
David shivered as he could tell that the Demoness fantasize about cleaving him into two.
It was still a mystery on how he could make himself stronger, he had his own system, but didn't know how to upgrade himself. His health didn't even regenerate, and was permanently at 72/100, he was fairly concerned with this fact.
He saw that the he could use three functions, ring bell, flashlight and breaks which cost energy to use, but he didn't dare use them because he didn't want to startle any of the people on-board the ship as he didn't know what their reaction would be.
Soon, the ship gracefully slowed down, and descended the sky to land. The deck was fairly busy as everyone worked to maintain the ship for landing.
Suddenly the sword maid came to find him.
"It's almost time for you to meet your new master" The sword maid said softly while placing him on her back.
