"Brother Su."
"Wake up, Brother Su."
Hearing a voice calling him, Rex, or Su Chen, woke up.
"Yeah, yeah, I am awake, sis."
Looking around, he found the source of the sound to be his little sister Su Ling'er. She looked like a child around the age of 9, with shoulder-length black hair and a cute little face, currently wearing a worn-out black robe with some patches.
"Hurry up and get ready, brother. Today is the day the Taiyi sect will start to recruit disciples. If you continue to laze around, you will be late for the selection ceremony. Get ready soon and come for breakfast."
After saying this with a serious face (according to her), Su Ling'er hurriedly went outside the room. After she left, Su Chen sat up from his bed. Looking at the face in the mirror, he recalled the time when he first came to this world.
Su Chen (or Rex) was a college student with a normal family and many friends. One day, while crossing a road, Rex started to feel drowsy, and as he tried to focus, he heard a horn. Looking sideways, he found a truck driving wildly towards him. In a moment of hurry, he jumped forward with all his might, avoiding the oncoming truck. Breathing a sigh of relief, he just turned around to find a car running towards him. 'Oh, f**k!' was the last thought he had.
After what seemed like a moment, he opened his eyes to find himself in a room filled with old furniture and walls made of mud. 'Where am I?' thought Rex. Just as he was contemplating it, a sudden influx of memories made his eyes widen.
Although he was not willing to accept it, after confirming it for about 10 to 15 minutes, he had to accept the fact that he had reincarnated and had just retrieved memories about his previous life. Regarding his memory of his previous life, he seemed to have forgotten about all the people he knew, whether they be his family, friends, or celebrities. He only remembered various knowledge, stories, etc., that he knew.
Regarding this, he was sad at first, but after some time he calmed down. Focusing on his current memory, he got to know about his new life. He was currently in a small town named Blackwood Town, which came under the jurisdiction of the Taiyi sect. Both of his parents had died last week under the jaws of wild beasts in a beast tide. He and his little sister (3 years old) only survived because their parents diverted the attention of beasts until support from the Taiyi sect arrived.
Living in a world dominated by cultivators is not easy, especially when you are a child. When he first knew about the existence of immortals, Su Chen was very excited, but his excitement was quickly extinguished when he learned about the true nature of this world. Although it is very exciting to think about living for ten thousand years and destroying stars at the turn of your hand, it becomes harder when you know that human life has no value in this world.
Just the next day after coming here, he learned from his neighbor that the town next to them was destroyed just because of the appearance of a treasure. Millions of people were slapped to death by cultivators along with the city when they were fighting for the treasure.
He and his sister lived normally until now due to the protection provided by the Taiyi sect. The orphans and children whose parents died due to various reasons were provided pensions on the condition that they had to join the Taiyi sect at the age of 15. Those with good qualifications were accepted into the sect as outer disciples, while those with bad or no qualifications were accepted as miscellaneous disciples. Although it seems good to become a miscellaneous disciple, in reality, the work they had to do can be compared to servants, and with their low qualifications, it is very difficult to be promoted to outer disciple unless they have a fruitful opportunity.
Thinking about it, Su Chen was very depressed. Just when he was about to get out of his room, he heard a neutral voice in his head.
[DING! HOST DETECTED TO BE 15 YEARS OLD]
[ACTIVATING "**@#$X@A$ SYSTEM"]
Hearing this, Su Chen was shocked, and after shock, what followed was immense ecstasy. In these 6 years, he had repeatedly tried various ways to find the golden finger that came with him. Not able to find any golden finger, he was depressed at the beginning, but later he accepted it. But now knowing he has a golden finger or a system, he was delighted. Dreaming about his future life of flying in the sky and destroying various enemies made him excited.
'System, tell me about your functions.'
Controlling his excitement, he asked the system with his thoughts.
[DING! ASK THE HOST TO CHECK INSTRUCTION MANUAL]
After this, the system installed a memory regarding its working (instruction manual) in his mind. After reviewing it all over, he was shocked.
'OMG!' thought Su Chen. According to the memory, the system has only 2 basic functions. Firstly, while breaking through any small realm, the system will provide a lucky draw consisting of skills and items related to creatures associated with evil gods and their dependents that existed in his previous life fiction. And second function simply gives him a template of any evil god or powerful dependent race after he breaks through a major realm. But he has to slowly unlock the template from 1% to its total by continuously breaking through realms or by completing the system's nonmandatory tasks.
Just as he was checking about the functions in detail, the system's voice sounded.
[DOES HOST WANT TO OPEN THE NEWBIE GIFT PACKAGE?]
'Allow,' thought Su Chen.
[CONGRATULATIONS TO THE HOST FOR GETTING 2 LUCKY DRAW OPPORTUNITIES]
Hearing it, Su Chen was surprised.
'System, use the 2 draw opportunities,' Su Chen told the system.
[DING! CONGRATULATIONS TO THE HOST FOR GETTING THE SKILL "SEMI IMMORTALITY"]
