Chapter 1 - Reborn

Li Mu lay in the middle of a bustling street, his life slowly slipping away as he contemplated the series of events that had led him to this fateful moment. Just five minutes ago, he had been taking a leisurely stroll, when his eyes fell upon a young girl, deeply engrossed in her smartphone, obliviously wandering into a perilous situation. A runaway truck hurtled towards her with terrifying speed, and without a second thought, Li Mu sprang into action. His unwavering sense of responsibility drove him to push the girl to safety, but in the process, he found himself flung away by the oncoming truck.As he lay on the cold asphalt, his body battered and broken, he could hear the panicked cries of onlookers ringing in his ears, shouting for someone to "CALL AN AMBULANCE!" Yet, deep down, Li Mu knew the harsh truth – his injuries were beyond salvation. With his final breath, he clung to a distant dream of a different destiny in the afterlife, yearning for a transformation in a world of fantasy.And then, as if in response to his fervent wish, a mysterious voice whispered in his fading consciousness, "Acquired New Unique Skill, Narvana."Li Mu's eyes widened in astonishment, wondering if he was merely hallucinating on the brink of death. Before he could comprehend the situation, searing pain coursed through his body, leaving him writhing in agony."Acquired New Skill, Pain Resistance.""Acquired New Skill, Illusion Resistance."The voice continued, and Li Mu's mind raced back to an isekai novel he had read months ago, a story eerily similar to his current predicament. Without a moment's hesitation, he began to list the skills he desired, seizing this incredible opportunity."Acquired New Skill, Unique Evolution.""Acquired New Skill, Temperature Resistance.""Acquired New Skill, Appraisal.""Acquired Unique Skill, Devourer.""Acquired New Skill, Mana Manipulation.""Acquired New Skill, Regeneration.""Acquired Unique Skill, Tri Elemental Life.""Acquired Unique Skill, Yin Yang Fusion.""Acquired Racial Skill, Phoenix Fire.""Acquired Unique Skill, Nine Elemental Art."As his consciousness faded away, Li Mu gasped his final breath, and his soul embarked on a journey to an unknown realm.In the heart of the mysterious "Forest of No Return," a place shrouded in enigmatic secrets, lay the forbidden Beast God Continent, a colossal dungeon with a staggering one hundred floors. On the very first floor, a peculiar egg adorned with ancient, cryptic patterns in vibrant red, orange, and blue emitted a mystical energy. This energy pulsed and melded within the egg until, with a resounding CRACK, the shell split open.From the shattered shell emerged a chick of vivid, multicolored plumage, and this chick was none other than Li Mu. As he surveyed his surroundings, he found himself in the midst of a lush, enchanting forest. The chick's feathers, an iridescent tapestry of red, blue, and orange, radiated an otherworldly glow.Li Mu examined himself, recalling the skills he had acquired during his transformation. He attempted to activate his Appraisal skill, but at first, he struggled to grasp its use. After numerous attempts, he finally focused on the thought of "appraisal."Name: Li Mu Race: Phoenix Rank: F- Skills: Unique Evolution Temperature Resistance Appraisal Devourer Mana Manipulation Regeneration Tri Elemental Life Yin Yang Fusion Phoenix Fire Nine Elemental Art Pain Resistance Illusion Resistance NarvanaAs he contemplated his newfound attributes, Li Mu pondered if he could delve deeper into the details.Race: Phoenix - A rare species known for its elemental nature and resilience, with the ability to undergo rebirth through Narvana.
