"Elder Brother Zhan, quickly get up, it's time for the awakening ceremony!" a soft voice said. This voice belonged to a young girl looking around fourteen or fifteen but even in her young age, she was absolutely breathtaking. Her eyes were a clear blue color and her skin was a smooth as glass and very pure. She had an inviting aura around her and an air of royalty. She's wearing icy blue Hanfu dress that defined her figures perfectly
This young beauty is Xiao Lijuan, the second princess of the Xiao Sect. She's extremely talented and is known across the five great nations as the ice princess or China's frost princess because of her potential affinity towards the ice element.
At this moment, this young princess seem a little distressed as she stared helplessly at the boy laying on the bed. Her long hair which was a light shade of Robin egg blue fell on the boy's chest, soft and silk.
She placed a careful finger on the shoulder and shook him
"Zhan'er, please wake up already" she pleaded
Suddenly, the sleeping boy on the bed eyes flew open and he jerked up. Thankfully, Xiao Lijuan was quick and moved away else they could have end up colliding their heads against each other.
The boy, Xiao Zhan, looked startled and his black eyes were filled with panic as he looked around
"Zhan'er! Are you okay?!" Xiao Lijuan quickly got worried and held Xiao Fang's face
Xiao Zhan looked at the beautiful girl in front of him. She was like nothing he had ever seen before. From her aura to her looks, absolutely stunning. However, a hint of confusion flash through his eyes
I, Xiao Zhan, have been reborn? he couldn't help but ask himself. However, he quickly dismissed that thought. He clearly remember going to the new year party and having fun with his friends. He remembered refusing to get drunk because he knew he would be the one driving later. He remembered getting back home and heading straight to bed after making a new year resolution to be better in the next year.
However, his memories stopped there and now he's here, with a girl, a very beautiful girl, a very beautiful and worried girl!
'What the hell? What is going on here? Where am i? Fuck that, how did I even get here is a better question. Did I get kidnapped? Oh my god, is this the result of a freaking government project or did the universe suddenly decided to play a joke on me'
[No you idiot. Damn, how are humans so dumb?]
Again, another startled look flashed across his previously confused face
'What the fuck? Did I just hear a voice in my head?'
[If you keep cursing I'm going to send you to hell! Anyways, I'm the god of transmigration and I've brought you to this world because I fucking can]
'What was that about not cursing...wait a minute, did you just fucking say you brought me to this world? As in, you are the reason I'm in the world!? Like you're the one that.....'
[Shut the fuck up, all your questions mean the same things!]
'I think they do but what the hell man? Why am I here?'
[Didn't I say not to fucking use curse words?]
'You really should lead by example'
[Damn you. I brought you to this world because I can only move souls from one world to another like one in a million years or something and your soul just happened to be the closest to death I could find so in a way, I saved you by bringing you here. You should be thanking me!]
'Dude ~ I have no reason to thank you. Wait, did you just say my soul was close to death? As in I was going to die? like, I wasn't going to...'
[Ah! You're doing it again! Can you stop repeating your questions in different ways?!]
'Sorry, sorry. So, is the beauty in front of me my girlfriend?'
[No, she's your sister]
'Well that's disappointing. Are you sure we're biological siblings?'
[I thought I was doing you a favor by bringing you to this world but turns out I was doing your world a favor by taking you out of there. How stupid can you get]
'Offense taken. Anyways, do I get a system or something?. I mean, this is like a fantasy world in one of those novels right? I'm entitled to get a system or a cheat of some sort!'
[No, I can't grant you a system but because I feel sorry for your pathetic self, I'm going to give you a chance to gain one. I have a hundred numbers with me. Each number represents a treasure. You can pick ten number. Anything the number represents immediately belongs to you]
'Does one of those numbers represents an overpowered badass system?'
[Yes, I think there might me a number that represents a system]
'Why didn't you start with that?! First choice, Number 1'
[Number 1 ~ Hair comb]
'Come again?'
[Number 1 ~ Hair comb]
'I heard you the fucking first time! Why the hell is there a hair comb behind a number?!'
[I don't know idiot. Some things just can't be explained]
'Whatever, I still have nine more numbers to choose. Number 20'
[Number 20 ~ Memories]
'um, okay I don't know what that is but I'm sure it's useless so I'll just move on. Number 79'
[Number 79 ~ Shoe laces]
'Okay that's it! Once is an Incident, twice a coincidence and three times is a fucking pattern! What the freaking fuck do I need a shoe laces for'
[To tie your shoes?]
'Thank you Sherlock! That was really helpful! Number 54'
[Number 54 ~ Pet Lizard]
'And I'm convinced. This is the handwork of my grandma. That woman hated my guts before she died. She paid you to make my life miserable right? I knew she won't ever rest in peace unless she makes my life unlivable.'
[You don't even know who your grandma was but can we speed this up? I have more important things to handle]
'Fine. Number 26, 43, 18, 99, 62, 37'
[Map, broken dagger, box of stones, unidentified key, olive skin oil, five unknown cards]
'sigh, my life is really ruined isn't it'
[uhhh, maybe a little]
'I can't change a number can I?'
[Nope, you get what you get and you don't get to complain]
'whatever. Might as well end the disappointment. Number 100'
[Number 100 ~ Unidentified Soul Talent]
'Well that's a change.'
[No need to look like a defeated monkey. I'm sure you'll still have a great life as a normal person in this crazy world. Apart from being bullied a lot, it should be relatively okay. Now, I'm off to do more important things, don't ask what]
'So you're just going to leave me by myself here. I don't even know where I am. It's like taking a baby away from his mother and leaving her in the forest. Isn't that a little crude?. How am I supposed to survive?'
[When you say it like it's a little crude. Tell you what kid, if you manage to breakthrough to the the
'Really?'
[You have my word. Now shut up and let me be in peace]
With that, Xiao Zhan felt the odd man's presence leave him and for some reason, he couldn't help but feel alone
"Elder brother Zhan, are you okay?" Xiao Lijuan asked noticing the expression on her brother's face once again change but this time he looked extremely sad. Depressed even. His expression has been changing a lot but he never looked like this
Xiao Zhan consciousness returned to his body and he looked at the worried beauty in front of him. She looked so worried he couldn't help but hug her, burying his face in her shoulder
"Li Li, my life is ruined" he said in a small voice only for her ears
The princess was confused and her hands stayed by her side. This boy...he just got found by her father, the king an hour or two ago and he was hugging her like they've known each other for ages
She could only say: "Okay?" and stay still
