In a forest near Cyan Forest Town, the black-haired young man woke up.
He blinked in confusion before he suddenly jumped up. His waist-length hair swayed due to his sudden movement as the young man looked right and left in alert.
He realized he was surrounded by trees and long grass with no human civilization in sight.
Sweat trickled down his cheek and his heartbeat rose. He opened his mouth and absentmindedly muttered.
"Where am I?"
Last thing he remembered was sleeping on his bed, within his house, safe and sound. Then how did he reach here, inside a forest, all alone?
"... It's thatā¦ isn't it?"
After a small silence, the young man muttered before a smirk appeared over his face.
Of course, as someone from the twenty-first century, he knew about the existence of one of the most popular genres of "another world". So after matching his circumstances with the circumstances of the main characters of this "another world" genre, the young man realized, he IS the main character now!
ā¦ or at least his position is the same.
'But dang! I was reincarnated into Yun Che's body!' The young man thought astonished after his mind cleared and he was able to access the memories. 'Waitā¦ From the memories, I'm currently on my way to Cyan Forest Town after the little scheme of Xia Yulong to make Xia Qingyue divorce me. Which means, I'm at the start of the plot! And I'm crippleā¦'
From what he could remember, if he followed the plot, then he would go to the Cyan Forest Town and run into the Young Master of the Xiao Clan who will then send his goons to bully him but Jasmine will make his appearance and save him, giving him the Heretic God's Inheritance.
'Should I follow the plot or should I deviate from it?'
As he was thinking, deep in thought, suddenly, another set of memories appeared within his mind causing him to grimace at the sudden headache. As the memories were sorted, a smirk appeared over his face.
He was given a golden finger! Satou Pendragon's System!
Yun Che suddenly started to laugh loudly. He was excited beyond belief and he couldn't express it with anything but laughing loudly. Only after laughing for some time did he calm down and decided to check the system.
Like the original, it had pretty much all functions of Satou Pendragon's System.
Excited, Yun Che opened the skill menu. His eyes suddenly widened to extreme as they landed on the skill points. He couldn't believe the amount of skill points he had!
'But how?!'
To gain skill points, there were mainly two ways; kill to gain experience and level up, or complete a quest. And Yun Che definitely doesn't remember doing any of those!
'Unlessā¦' Suddenly, a thought passed Yun Che's mind as he realized a possible answer to his question. 'Did the people "I" killed in my first life also count? Or, the people Yun Che killed in his first life? If that's the case, then it would explain all these skill points!'
Either way, with this much skill point, Yun Che knew he had smooth sailing ahead!
He looked at the list of skills he had and couldn't help but click his tongue at the genius of Yun Che. Even though he was a cripple, he definitely got that protagonist's luck!
His skills were as followā
[Miracle of Life (5/10)]
[Close Quarter Combat (3/10)]
[Swordsmanship (2/10)]
Other than that, all were miniscule skills. Even then, looking at the [Miracle of LIfe], Yun Che made a thoughtful expression.
'From what I remember, Yun Che only had half of the miracle of life while the other half he gained from Shen Xi in Dragon God Realm. Is that why the level is stuck at 5?'
After all, with Yun Che's medical knowledge, it would not be wrong to call him best within the God Realm. This only went to show how good of a doctor Li Suo was!
"Nothing less from the Creation Goddess of LIfe huh. I guess no one knows about medicine better than her."
Without much thought, Yun Che put 5 SP into [Miracle of Life], raising its level all the way to 10! A huge amount of information entered his mind which was instantly comprehended by him. If previously he could only think of one method to solve his cripple status, he could think of dozens now!
'But none of them compare to the veins of Heretic God! The benefits can't be compared to the legacy of a Creation God after all.'
Same as the miracle of life, where no medical book could match it, no vein could match the vein of a Creation God.
"Unless of course it belonged to the Ancestral Goddess." Yun Che chuckled before also maxing CQC and Swordsmanship to max!
With his current amount of SP that easily crossed five thousands, he didn't need to worry about saving his points.
'Now thenā¦ Should I wait for Jasmien to wake up or go to Cyan Forest Town? I'm quite hungry tooā¦' Rubbing his stomach, Yun Che thought.
Honestly, knowing that the Young Master of Xiao Clan was present with Cyan Forest Town, he was hesitating from going there. After all, he had no guarantee that the plot would be the same as he read in his previous life. Who knows, the Young Master of the Xiao Clan himself is a reincarnator. Such speculations weren't out of the limitation of happenings.
If he was reincarnated, then what were the chances that more people were also reincarnated in this world? Definitely more than fifty!
Yun Che had read such novels back in his life and this only helped in raising his cautiousness of this world.
'Hmmm. According to the plot, the young master of Xiao Clan should be within the barā¦ If I reach the Cyan Forest Town on the same timeline. Well, I guess I'll ignore the bar and go to a food establishment or something.'
With such thoughts, Yun Che made his way to Cyan Forest Town. Since he wasn't far from it, the forest he was in was already within the premises of the town, it barely took him an hour or two to reach it on foot.
Entering the town, as he had already decided, he ignored all pub-looking shops and went for a restaurant.
As he entered one such establishment, his footsteps halted as his eyes landed on the young man with two guard-looking men around him.
"..."
A blank expression appeared over his face as his eyes landed on them. And without wasting even a second, he turned around and left.
'I cannot believe that despite trying my best to avoid them, I still ended up meeting them. Is it fate?'
Remembering a certain goddess playing with the fate of everyone in this world, Yun Che wondered if his fate was still being played by her or not.
'Either way, I don't really have any power to do anything soā¦'
He just shrugged the worries off and made his way towards the forest with a slightly sulking face. Why sulking? Because he could feel two people following him! Who else but Xiao Ba and Xiao Jiu, the servants of Xiao Kyuangyun?
'Since it's already like this, I just hope everything follows the script. I really don't want my first day in a new world to start with physical abuseā¦ That would be really sad.'
