In that instant, Yang Haoxuan felt his body emitting a white glow from within, slowly nourishing every muscle and vein. His previously frail body gradually regained strength, becoming full of vigor.
To exaggerate a bit, Yang Haoxuan even felt his breath becoming smoother, and his previously cold body now felt warm. This shocked him, as he tried to recall what had just happened. Suddenly, his vision blurred, and a dark space appeared before him. Upon closer inspection, it was filled with various game interfaces.
Seeing the information on the panels, Yang Haoxuan confirmed that this was indeed the game "Fantasy World." "Fantasy World" is a virtual online game, and before crossing over, Earth's technology had advanced to such a level that it could make such novels a reality. Wearing the helmet, he could experience the real game world. At this moment, Yang Haoxuan felt like he was playing a game because, just like in the virtual game, he could summon various interfaces with just a thought.
Now, in his mind, there were character attributes, attribute points distribution, inventory, professional skills, life skills, treasure synthesis, refining, and other operational interfaces. However, there were many differences, such as the absence of game missions, and his character's profession was multi-class.
"Fantasy World" had only three simple professions: Warrior, Mage, and Healer. Now, his profession and level were displayed as follows: Warrior+2, Mage+2, Healer+2.
"All three professions can be played?" Yang Haoxuan couldn't help but look at the skills list and found that all skills were active. The character attributes made Yang Haoxuan realize his current strength.

...
"Damn!" Seeing this, Yang Haoxuan was naturally stunned and cursed in disbelief, "Could it be that playing the game for too long has caused hallucinations?" Skillfully exiting the game interface, the forest scene reappeared, with a blood-stained wild wolf nearby. Unsure whether he was in the game or reality, he was no longer afraid.
Instead, he picked up the battle knife on the ground, and at that moment, a battle knife appeared in his inventory. The only way to confirm whether it was a game or not was through pain, as the first rule of virtual games is that players should not feel pain.
"Did I really cross over?" Yang Haoxuan cut his hand with the knife, and the burning pain that followed made him both surprised and delighted. He recalled that he was wearing a virtual helmet while playing the game, then something happened, his head got hot, and he remembered nothing afterward.
"Could it be that this caused a game system to form in my mind?" Yang Haoxuan excitedly thought of this possibility. If true, it would be incredible.
Looking at the battle knife in his hand, he willed it into his inventory, and the knife disappeared, reappearing in his inventory in his mind.
"Awesome!" Such an effect greatly satisfied Yang Haoxuan. As an imaginative person, he quickly understood the value of the system in his mind. That value was power! The law of survival in this world!
Originally, Yang Haoxuan was worried because his dantian had been shattered, making him a cripple. Now, he didn't need to worry. He didn't need a dantian; he had an experience bar. He didn't need to cultivate techniques; he had skills from three professions.
Thinking of the skills, Yang Haoxuan couldn't resist testing them. Closing his eyes, he controlled the game interface to appear and studied it. Besides the different professions, he noticed that the jewelry section on the right side of the equipment frame had no requirements for earrings or belts, only a slot for artifacts.
Then he saw the attribute point distribution page below. The game's professional attributes were agility, spirit, strength, and wisdom. Each level gave five attribute points, and now Yang Haoxuan had five points.
Adding one point to strength, Yang Haoxuan felt his muscles bulge as if he had taken a strength pill.
Adding one point to wisdom, a cool sensation spread through his mind, making him feel much smarter.
Although he planned to test spirit and agility, he decided against it, knowing that game attribute points couldn't be added randomly. Exiting the game interface, he threw a few punches, feeling much stronger, which made him smile.
Suppressing his excitement, Yang Haoxuan began to think about how to distribute his points, ultimately adding all of them to wisdom, intending to become a mage first.
He chose this because of its high attack power and range. Adding several points to wisdom, Yang Haoxuan felt his IQ increase, solving many previously unclear issues.
Then he looked at the skill column and opened the mage section. Familiar mage skills from the game appeared. The game's mage skills were known for their high output. Currently, he was still a newbie and could only learn Flame Burst. After some hesitation, he added a point to it.
As before, a strange feeling appeared in his mind, and the casting method for Flame Burst became second nature. Yang Haoxuan extended his hand, and with a thought, a fireball appeared in his palm, burning fiercely with a black core.
"Cool!" Gaining such power easily, Yang Haoxuan felt ecstatic. Then, he threw the fireball at a nearby tree. The fireball flew out, hitting the tree with a loud crash and burning a large area.
This power excited Yang Haoxuan greatly, considering he was only level 2. He wondered how powerful the higher-level mage skills would be.
More thrilling was that using skills felt more realistic and powerful than in the virtual game!
At that moment, distant wolf howls echoed.
...
In the capital of the Great Yan Empire, a shocking news made everyone excited and buzzing. The news was that the capital's first scoundrel, Yang Haoxuan, had disappeared during a family trial in the mountains and hadn't been heard from since.
Ordinary people loathed Yang Haoxuan, wanting to skin him and drink his blood. Even nobles and prestigious families despised him. After his dantian was shattered, they only tolerated him because of his father.
Most people knew the dangers of staying overnight in the deep mountains of the Great Yan Mountain Range, even for a tier-six warrior. Especially for someone like Yang Haoxuan, whose dantian was shattered. Despite the Yang family sending people to search, no news came.
In short, everyone believed Yang Haoxuan was dead. Many quietly celebrated his demise, feeling justice for the girls he had harmed.
The heavens had finally opened their eyes!
Even within the Yang family, apart from Yang Haoxuan's father, everyone else thought the same. His father had other concerns. The Yang family's foundation was left by his father, but his brothers were unhappy with him as the patriarch and now had a reason to urge him to step down.
Yang family rules stated that the patriarch must pass the position to his descendants. With his son gone and his wife dying in childbirth, he hadn't remarried.
In summary, Yang Haoxuan was unaware of the turmoil his disappearance had caused.
...
The next day.
Yang Haoxuan woke up on a tree, realizing it was broad daylight. He jumped down, noticing the ground littered with wolf corpses.
Within a ten-meter radius, the bodies of wild wolves, possibly over a hundred, lay scattered.
"Hehe!" Seeing this, Yang Haoxuan chuckled mischievously. Recalling yesterday, he climbed the tree, lured the wolves, and used a fishing tactic, throwing Flame Bursts continuously. For some reason, this intense killing spree didn't bother him. Perhaps the game interface's appearance had changed his mindset.
Naturally, his mana consumption was significant. However, being multi-class meant his mana was combined, and due to his low level and low experience requirements, he leveled up during the fight. Thus, he didn't worry about mana below level 10. Though unsure why killing beasts gave experience, he guessed the game system treated this new world as a virtual game.
So, each level-up restored his mana. After a night of practice, Yang Haoxuan found that his leveling was slow, mainly because most experience in Fantasy World came from missions and dungeons. Now, where could he find those?
Initially hoping to reach level 20, he only managed to reach level 4 after a night. He still focused on adding points to wisdom, intending to build his power first.
Flame Burst skill was now at level 4.
Regarding personal attributes:
Character: Yang Haoxuan

Experiencing the benefits, Yang Haoxuan began comparing his strength to the levels of cultivators in this world.
In the Tianhe Continent, martial arts were revered, cultivating the body to gain strength, but it wasn't easy.
So, strength was supreme, one of the main features of the Tianhe Continent.
