Synopsis

Chapter 1 - immortality

Rain

Heavy rain covered the whole village, some simple wooden houses were completely dark and a few of them gave off some light indicating that their inhabitants were awake

In a remote corner of this village, in an old dilapidated house, the eyelashes of a sleeping young man began to shake slowly

After a few minutes, the young man John opened his sleeping eyes

"..."

The first thing that greeted him was the broken wall of the house through which the wind and some rain spray were passing

He looked around and saw a mud floor full of dirt and broken wooden boards

Some old fabrics scattered and a broken door on one side of the house, if I can call this place a house

It was just one room and the back wall had an opening through which the wind and some rain could enter

John, who was lying in a corner far from the opening in the wall, turned pale

His breathing began to increase in speed and his heartbeat increased, in a barely audible whisper he muttered

"Where...where am I?"

No matter how much John looked around, he couldn't To know this place, and did not understand how he got here

'The last thing I remember.... I was sleeping in my room, and I heard a strange sound.... When I opened my eyes to see what it was... I seem to have forgotten? Or gone back to sleep?'

John touched his head and felt that it was extremely heavy due to the fear and anxiety that invaded him

There is a high possibility that he was kidnapped!!!!

At this moment, a blue screen suddenly appeared in front of him

"Whaaaah!!!!"

John involuntarily pushed himself away from the screen as he screamed in fear, hitting his head against the nearby wall

"Damn what is happening...."

He muttered as he held his aching head and noticed the blue screen that followed his gaze wherever he went

[Name: John]

[Power: Nothing]

[Talent: Immortality]

John looked at the words in front of him and his eyes almost popped out of his head

"Damn!!!"

How does John not know this scenario?

How does he not understand?

As a young man of 21 years old, how has he not read novels of this type?

It is clear that he moved! Moved to another world with a golden finger! And what golden finger?

Immortality!!

John hit the ground hard to calm himself down

'Calm down! Calm down!, You have to calm down!!, This isn't a novel, this is the real world!'

He took a deep breath and let it out, then did it again until he calmed down a little, but his heart was still beating fast and excited

'In my previous world I was an orphan, I lived in an orphanage until I was 18 and relied on myself since I was young'

'I have some friends that I will miss honestly, but there is nothing I can do because I have already moved'

John turned his gaze to the screen again as he muttered

'From the pillar of strength I can conclude that this world is not normal like my previous world...'

'That means that danger will be everywhere'

John touched his head that was hurting as he thought slowly

'I have to think about my situation seriously'

John leaned against one of the walls as he drew a square on the sandy ground in front of him

He divided the square into four small squares and muttered while pointing to one of them

"Immortality, the thing that everyone excels at, while it is a very wonderful thing, but at the same time it is a curse"

"You will be forced to face loneliness, and losing those you love and seeing them die in front of you all the time"

John frowned and thought about it

"But nothing can be done about that, this is a mindset and can be changed with time, and it is the only thing I have a lot of"

He pointed to the second small square and muttered

"Identity, this is obviously my body and not someone else's body, and I did not inherit any memories, this means that I moved directly with my body"

"I do not have an identity and this has some advantages and disadvantages"

"The advantages are that I will not worry about the acquaintances or responsibilities of the old identity in case they recognize me, but the disadvantages are that I will literally start from scratch, with no acquaintances or knowledge or money or anything useful"

John moved his finger to the third small square

"Advantage, I have an overwhelming advantage because of immortality, I need to plan, and not just any planning, I have to plan for the next hundreds and thousands of years, and of course this is after I gather enough information about the situation around me. "

"This way I will be able to build certain powers and be the head of them behind the scenes, and as long as I live, these powers will remain useful to me."

Finally, John moved his finger towards the fourth and final small square.

He pointed to it silently without speaking for a while while thinking.

The sound of the rain drizzle and the strong wind added some dramatic appearance to the situation of this young man sitting alone in the dark.

"Finally, the goal, I am immortal, so my goal will be simple, enjoy this life and explore this world! Experience everything new and learn everything new!"

"In short, I want to live to the fullest"

A smile of ambition appeared on John's face, but only he knew whether this smile was really enthusiasm, or just a facade to hide his shock and fear of the rapid transition in his life

On this night, under the rain and thunder and in a remote and distant village

No one knew that there was a young man who appeared from nowhere, and in his heart were unparalleled ambitions

In the end, would his arrival to this world be a blessing to the world? Or a curse?

And would his immortality be his strongest weapon? Or would it be his greatest disease....
