Chen Rui, one of the thousands of otakus, is 24 years old. He was unemployed after graduating from college. He opened an online store and barely made a living. He is still a person with no house, no car, and no girlfriend.
One day, he picked up a mobile phone with a camera on the road. Although this phone has no brand and is obviously a knockoff, it is unexpected money after all, and mobile phones with cameras always bring people associations. Chen Rui immediately pressed the power switch, and the screen lit up, and a square box appeared in the middle. A row of light words popped out of the box: "Are you sure you want to do this?"
He pressed the confirmation button, and the light words reappeared: "Are you really sure?"
Which bored guy set up such a boot animation? Chen Rui pressed the confirmation button again without thinking, and the words "Congratulations on winning the prize! Welcome to use the super system" appeared in the middle of the screen, and then the phone exploded.
Chen Rui had not even said "pit dad" before he lost consciousness.
...
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Rui opened his eyes in a daze. He felt a severe headache and vaguely remembered that it was the explosion of that lousy phone that caused him to faint. Now there seemed to be a lot more in his head. Before he could think about it, he heard someone in front of him ask, "Are you awake?"
What came into view was a thin face with dark skin, handsome features, dark silver hair, pointed ears, blue eyes, and a gloomy face with a puzzled look.
Facing this "alternative" face, Chen Rui seemed very calm. He had seen many such anime enthusiasts on the Internet, playing their favorite cartoon or comic characters, which seemed to be called Cosplay. He immediately said, "You saved me? Thank you!"
These days, it's not easy to save someone.
"Saved you?" Seeing Chen Rui's grateful look, the anime enthusiast was even more surprised and whispered to himself: "Is there a problem with the dosage of the medicine? Or did I use the wrong medicine?"
In this one-on-one answer, Chen Rui heard that his and the other party's language was very strange. He had never heard it before, but for some reason, he could understand the meaning. It seemed to be some kind of universal language.
"Dude, this elf is very realistic, but the skin is too dark..." Chen Rui shook his head in confusion and struggled to sit up. He felt sore all over and looked at the strange environment around him. "By the way, where is this?"
"You dare to mock the skin color of the dark elves! You damn human!" The anime enthusiast reacted and was furious. His hands sizzled. Chen Rui saw an arc flashing and was instantly knocked away several meters. His paralyzed body twitched involuntarily, and the air was filled with a burnt smell.
"Sly! Get out!" Although he punished Chen Rui, the anime enthusiast's sharp voice was still full of anger.
A short black shadow rushed over, rolling and crawling. It was a strange guy with red skin, short stature, ugly appearance, and two rows of sharp teeth faintly visible in his wide mouth.
"Respected Master Aldass, your humble servant Sli is at your service. You are the most evil and greatest potion master in the entire demon world..."
This voice was full of flattery, but Aldass was in a bad mood and could not listen to such boring flattery at all. He shouted: "Put away those hypocritical tricks! You lazy little demon, you are just a chores! Did you feed him the wrong potion just now?"
Sli was startled and said quickly: "Absolutely not, just now I used the real potion in the No. 3 potion bottle according to the master's instructions."
"Real potion? So what he said just now when he ridiculed me was true?" Aldass's gloomy tone made Sli sweat coldly, "Now go and drain a bottle of blood from this damn guy, and then drink the No. 6 tearing potion!"
Sli did not dare to be long-winded, and immediately went to the table to choose a bottle as ordered.
If there hadn't been the lightning just now, Chen Rui would have thought that this was some kind of anime social gathering or a movie. Seeing the little demon approaching step by step, his heart was instantly filled with fear. He wanted to struggle, but his paralyzed body couldn't obey the control of his brain at all.
Sly walked in front of Chen Rui, without using any blade, stretched out his sharp nails and scratched his arm, and blood immediately gushed out. Sly's little eyes lit up, smacked his lips, squeezed the wound, and used a transparent glass bottle to collect blood.
The bottle had a large capacity. When the blood was gradually filled, Chen Rui was already cold and dizzy. After finally filling the bottle, the little demon wiped the wound to stop the bleeding, and put his claws into his mouth to suck. The greedy expression, as if tasting the supreme delicacy, made Chen Rui feel hairy.
However, this unnecessary action immediately caused Aldass's dissatisfied snort. Sly shuddered, did not dare to hesitate, and immediately poured the No. 6 potion into Chen Rui's mouth.
This potion has a faint sweet taste when it enters the mouth, but the opposite is its terrible effect. After a while, Chen Rui began to feel severe pain all over his body, and every inch of his skin seemed to be torn apart. It was the first time in his life that he suffered such pain, and he couldn't help but scream.
Chen Rui's painful appearance made Aldass look relieved, and he nodded with satisfaction: "It seems that the tearing potion is very effective. I wonder if the human physique is resistant to the real potion, or if there is something wrong with the bottle of medicine itself?"
Aldass knew that the strongest effect of the tearing potion was still to come, and he was too lazy to listen to Chen Rui's screams, and ordered: "Sly! Take him to the dungeon and guard him well, and starve him for a night! If he dies in the experiment one day, I don't mind giving you the body as food."
Sly was overjoyed and blurted out a series of flattering words, only to hear Aldass's tone change sinisterly: "But once I find out that you have the intention to eat again, you will be the next experiment!"
Sly stayed in the laboratory for a long time. Thinking of the miserable state of the previous experiments, he was trembling with fear, nodded repeatedly, and immediately dragged Chen Rui out of the house.
The little inferior demon was quite strong, dragging Chen Rui all the way to a dark and damp basement and throwing him in.
"Die quickly, damn guy! Lord Sly has never tasted the taste of humans!" The little demon kicked Chen Rui a few times arrogantly, licked his bloody fingers with reluctance, and flashed greed in his eyes. He finally did not dare to disobey Aldass's order, closed the cell door, and jumped out.
Chen Rui just struggled to turn over, and the pain in his body suddenly increased tenfold. He couldn't help screaming again, and a mysterious voice suddenly sounded in his mind: "Unknown toxic substances were found. Do you want to absorb and start the super system?"
Chen Rui was in great pain, and he answered casually. A coolness came from his heart for no reason, which quickly spread throughout his body, and the pain was significantly reduced.
"Energy supply is insufficient, the system startup progress is 0.5%, and more energy is needed to complete it." A "ding" prompt sound came from his mind again, and then disappeared without a trace.
Wait, system? What is this?
When Chen Rui reacted, the voice never appeared again. Was it an illusion?
Chen Rui had no time to think about it, because he was stunned by the large amount of information that suddenly appeared in his mind. When he just woke up, he felt that there were many memories in his head that he didn't have before. After all this trouble, these memory fragments have been automatically digested and absorbed.
It turned out that he was no longer the original Chen Rui, but a boy named Arthur, and this was not the earth, but another world.
It was indeed a soul crossing! As a otaku who likes to read online novels on Qidian, Chen Rui reacted immediately.
Chen Rui's parents died early, and his only and closest grandfather also passed away last year, so he didn't have too many concerns. The problem is that I have heard a lot about crossing and rebirth, but I have never heard of such a tragic one!
Chen Rui learned from Arthur's incomplete memory that this space is a magical world. "Arthur" seems to be a descendant of aristocrats, 20 years old, and had a comfortable life. Two days ago, when he went out to play, he was inexplicably teleported to such a place full of demons. He was caught and sent to the laboratory of the enthusiast Aldas, and began his miserable life as an experimental subject.
The human world where Arthur lives has races such as humans, elves, and dwarves, and now this place is likely to be the legendary demon world that is hostile to humans!
The demons are a powerful race. They were expelled to the abyss world with harsh environment because they were defeated by the human coalition in the ancient war, and the entrance was also closed by the powerful barrier.
Despite this, the demons have always given up the attempt to return to the ground. Every five hundred years, the entrance to the barrier will weaken, which is the beginning of the war between the two sides. It's just that the demons are also tragic and have never won the final victory in history.
In the most recent war three hundred years ago, the demon coalition, under the command of the strongest man Bai Ye·Lucifer, caused heavy casualties to the human race, but as always, the final victory still belonged to "light and justice". Bai Ye·Lucifer was killed by a human strongman, and the defeated demon army was forced to withdraw to the demon world.
Arthur's memory of the demon race is limited to this. In fact, there are many strong men in the human world who can break rivers with swords and crack mountains with fists. However, Arthur is a standard waste. He can't do anything about fighting spirit and magic. His greatest specialty is eating, drinking and having fun. If Arthur's soul is still there, Chen Rui will definitely pinch this kid's neck and roar: How can you have such an excellent specialty!
The reality is that this guy has been completely freed from the torture of Aldas potion, and the next thing to face is the miserable successor Chen Rui.
What will happen to a weak human with no power in a world full of demons? Experimental subjects? Food?
The more Chen Rui thought about it, the more scared he became. He regretted pressing "Confirm" so much that he cursed that phone thousands of times in his heart. But now he couldn't regret it.
In his previous life, he was a homeboy. He was good at reading novels, playing games, and hanging out on forums, but he had never touched martial arts. Even if he knew a few tricks, it was useless in this magical world. How can he survive?
Chen Rui thought for a long time but still had no idea what to do. He finally fell asleep in the double fatigue of body and mind.
