Li Wei sat at his desk, the soft glow of his computer screen illuminating the cluttered room around him. It was late, and the clock on the wall ticked away the minutes, reminding him of the looming deadlines. He rubbed his tired eyes and glanced at the mountain of textbooks stacked beside him, each one filled with notes he hadn't had the time to read.
"Another late night," he muttered to himself, running a hand through his hair. "When will this endless cycle of studying and stress end?" He felt trapped, suffocated by the weight of expectations from his family and professors. In his heart, he longed for something more—adventure, excitement, a purpose beyond just surviving the grind.
After a long day of classes and work, he stood up to stretch his aching muscles. As he walked to the kitchen for a quick snack, he absentmindedly reached for his phone, scrolling through social media to distract himself from the monotony of his life. His friends were out enjoying life, traveling, and sharing their adventures, while he was stuck here.
"I wish I could be out there, experiencing the world," he sighed, his heart heavy with longing. Just as he reached for the fridge door, a sharp pain suddenly shot through his chest.
"What the—" he gasped, stumbling back against the counter. Confusion turned to fear as he realized he couldn't catch his breath. Panic surged within him, and he clutched his chest, feeling as though a weight was pressing down on him.
He crumpled to the floor, the world around him fading in and out of focus. "This can't be happening... I can't go like this!" he thought desperately, but the darkness began to close in. He thought of all the dreams he had yet to fulfill, the adventures he had wanted to embark on, and the life he had wished for.
"I wanted to be someone," he reflected, tears welling in his eyes as he felt his consciousness slipping away. "I wanted more."
And then, silence enveloped him.

As Li Wei floated in the warm, comforting darkness of his mother's womb, he suddenly felt a jolt of energy surge through him, awakening him from a peaceful state. It was as if the very fabric of his existence was shifting, rearranging itself to welcome something extraordinary.
"Welcome, Host," a voice echoed in his mind, calm and resonant. "I am the System of Infinite Ascension, your guide and companion on this journey. From this moment forward, your life will be transformed."
Li Wei blinked, astonished. "Who… what are you?"
"I am the embodiment of knowledge and power," the System explained, its tone soothing yet authoritative. "I have been created to aid you in unlocking your full potential and navigating the vast realms of existence. You possess an innate talent that is rare even among the highest families of the Omniverse, and I am here to help you realize it."
A flood of memories and information began to flow into his mind. Li Wei felt as if he were experiencing a thousand lifetimes in an instant. "What talent?" he asked, his curiosity piqued. "What do you mean?"
"You will soon awaken your abilities," the System replied, "but first, I must explain your unique circumstances. You were chosen because your spirit transcends the ordinary. The moment you were born, the energy of the universe recognized you, and thus, you are destined for greatness. The System of Infinite Ascension will handle everything for you."
Li Wei's thoughts raced. "Everything? So, I don't have to work for it?"
"Correct," the System confirmed. "Your power will be awakened and upgraded effortlessly. The system will guide you, enhance your innate abilities, and grant you unparalleled skills without any need for effort or struggle on your part. You will rise to heights that even the gods envy, all while you simply exist."
Images flashed before him—spectacular landscapes, ancient temples, and powerful beings emanating an aura of sheer strength. "So, I can become one of them?" he asked, a spark of excitement igniting within him.
"Yes, Host," the System replied. "You will embody the essence of true power. Your journey will be unlike any other, as I will ensure that you transcend every limitation that exists."
Li Wei felt a sense of wonder and anticipation. "What do I need to do?"
"For now, allow the awakening to happen," the System instructed. "Embrace the energy flowing through you. Soon, you will witness a transformation that will set the course of your life without any effort on your part."
As the last echoes of the System's voice faded, Li Wei braced himself for the incredible awakening that lay ahead, excitement coursing through him. "This is my chance," he thought, determination igniting in his heart. "I won't waste it."

"Host, prepare to awaken your abilities. The energy you are experiencing is the essence of the universe, and it is merging with your innate talents. I will now enhance your attributes beyond the limits of your current realm."
Suddenly, a series of dazzling visions flooded his mind, each one revealing the immense potential that lay within him:

His form tingled as if his cells were being reborn, imbuing him with an incredible vitality. The thought of being virtually indestructible excited him.
"Now, the next awakening: your Bloodline. You are granted the Primordial Dragon Bloodline, a lineage that embodies the essence of creation, ferocity, and ancient wisdom. This bloodline enhances all your physical abilities to godlike levels and bestows upon you the ability to channel the raw forces of the cosmos. You will command the storms, breathe celestial fire, and possess an unparalleled connection to the Dragon Ancestors, who will guide you on your path to ascension."

The essence of the Primordial Dragon thrummed within him, promising not just strength but an ancient wisdom that would allow him to tap into the secrets of the universe.
"Finally, your Eye of Insight will awaken. You will possess the Eternal Gaze, allowing you to see through illusions, perceive the true nature of beings, and understand the essence of energy itself."
A brilliant light flooded his vision, and he felt as if a veil had been lifted. He could see the intricate flow of energy around him, the patterns that defined existence itself.
"With these awakenings," the System continued, "you will be able to transcend your limits and rise through the realms of existence with ease. You are destined for greatness, Li Wei, far beyond anything you can imagine."
As the final echoes of the System's voice faded, Li Wei felt an overwhelming sense of power welling up within him. "This is just the beginning," he thought, exhilaration coursing through him. He couldn't wait to experience the full extent of his new abilities and the adventures that awaited him.
"And remember," the System added, its tone laced with excitement, "these powers are merely the foundations of your ascension. As you grow, you will unlock even greater abilities and experiences, making your journey through the Omniverse truly legendary."
