Enormous wealth, endless authority, godlike powers, all of these could be achieved in the [Immortal Hell]. Millions of kingdoms and empires had risen and fallen, yet the strong were immortal.
Through cultivation one could abandon mortal aspects and be reborn as a god, the only requirement being talent.
To the north of the Divine Mountains, The 6 God-Sects, was the mountainous region of the Nine-Demonic-Sects of the [Immortal Hell World], led by the [Heavenly Demonic Cult] ranked third out of the top sects in the entire world.
In the [Heavenly Demonic Cult], below the heavenly demon's disciples, the core disciples, the inner disciples, and even the outer disciples, was Lin Jie. Ranked as the weakest and least talented disciple in the cult, unable to go past the 2nd level of Bone Tempering even at the age of 20.
He lived in a run down courtyard and kept his head down, avoiding the other disciples and their bullying. Being beaten to death for being in the wrong place wasn't uncommon in the cult after all.
The reason he died and Lin Jie took over was precisely such an event, a beating from Kang Lin, a disciple at the [5th Level of the True Heaven Stage], that forced him to take his own life.
….
Lin Jie wondered how to get his first achievement.
Taking a life counts as an achievement…i'm sure I could kill someone if I use poison but that's not something Lin Jie the weakest could get his hands on…wait, this is easy!
He had a bright idea.
"What counts as a life?"
[Anything that carries the energy of life.]
The system's answer was vague, but Lin Jie still held hope.
He pushed the door open to run towards his ruined yard. One benefit of a rundown and garbage yard was the insects crawliing around.
After he searching for only a moment, he found a tiny worm deep below.
'Bingo!'
He stomped down on it swiftly, killing it in a single motion.
[The host has killed a being of the Order Woramera for the first time. Achievement recorded!]

He then ran back to his chamber before someone spotted him.
[You've Gained [Metamorphosis Divine Pill]X1!]
[You've Gained [Book Of Vows]!]
[You've gained 100 Limurian Lion's Feathers(Useless)]
He couldn't really recognize any of his wins.
"Explain everything to me…." He called for the system. "What's your name again?" He realized he didn't know the assistant's name after pondering.
[I'm currently unnamed, please grant me a name.]
"A name…" Several faces passed through his mind. "Nyx, that's it. I'll call you Nyx." He decided.
[Name registered. Thank you, host.]

A BIT LATER
For the first time in what felt like a century, John felt refreshed. His joints, his muscles, even his bones, everything felt fresh.
"AHHHHHHH!"
His renewed senses, however, made it painful to even breath. The loud sound of a fly's wings flapping, the uncomfortable sight of the eyes on a spider in the corner of the room, the sharp feeling of the breeze passing over his skin, the smell of insect blood from the worm outside, all of these were unbearable.
Yet the greatest culprits were his instincts, and extra-sensory functions, he sensed a looming death like the reaper's scythe was floating only an inch from his throat, countless piercing eyes looking at him from every direction.
"I CAN'T TAKE IT! I CAN'T TAKE IT!"
When he pushed himself up to stand up from the bed, it shattered under him like a dry leaf. And his feet left holes in the ground wherever he stepped, even leaning on the walls left holes in them.
"NYX! HELP!"
[I apologize, host i'll start calibrating your functions!]
[....Calibration complete!]
Instantly everything was under his control again.
"Fuck, that was uncomfortable, that pill is more insane than all of the elixirs on Earth combined!"
When he faced the mirror he finally understood the extent of the change.
Who the hell is this pretty bastard?! So tall, so muscular, so handsome, so sharp, these red eyes, and the black hair, this is unfair to everyone else!
[4th Level Of Bone Refinement Achieved!]
The original demonic disciple Lin Jie was hideous and disfigured due to his horrible talent for demonic martial arts, yet the pill transformed him into a man second to none in terms of looks.
"I look better than a high-elf, but that's useless right now. How do I get home, Nyx?"
[The Task list might be of help.]
[Compiling..!]
[Task List(in order)]
1-Complete A Purchase And A Sale in the Market
2-Find A Suitable Martial Art
4-Sweep The Sect Gate
5-Use the [Book Of Vows]
6-Cultivate For At Least 1 Hour
7-Visit the library at night
.
.
"I guess i'll follow your lead for now, open the market!"
[Connecting to the Inter-Dimensional Market...!]
Several large panels appeared in front of him, all sorts of pictures, ads and videos for unimaginable things:
[Inter-Dimensional Market]
[Credits:0]
[Sell]
[Explore]
[Types]
[Search]
After looking around for a bit, he tapped on the explore tab.
Instantly countless panels appeared in front of him, each one carrying endless items, creatures, and unknows words.
"What?! Death God's Skull? Godhood Manual? Excalibur? Sa*yan bloodline? Superpower generator? Universe's Original primordial soul? God-Level large scale destruction spell [Star Annihilation]? Instant Ascension Scroll? Elder Dragon Egg, Divine Soul, Eternal Evolutions Of The Immortal Sword, Vajra Sword God Robes, most of these are things I can't even comprehend,"
"There's even advertised panels for others looking for unique items,"
[Searching for: Zeus's right eye, willing to pay 400K Max]
[Searching for:Pangu's Axe Pm for Offer]
[Searching for:Immortal Reincarnation Tehcnique]
[Searching for: Lion's Feathers PM For Info.]
'Lion's feathers?, I have those!"
Lin Jie quickly pressed the PM button. He had nothing to his name in a new world, if he could at least get some credits he'd be better off.
[Please enter a name to use in the market. The name is permanent, so choose wisely.]
"A name?....let's go with LuckiestImmortal, I think I used it in a game before,"
[Name set. Initiating Personal Message.]
A keyboard and a chat tab instantly appeared to him.
[CHAT TAB]:
[LordOfTheBloodStar has joined the chat]
LordOfTheBloodStar is typing...
LordOfTheBloodStar:You have the feathers?
LuckiestImmortal(Host):I have [Limurian Lion Feathers], are you interested?
LordOfTheBloodStar:I am interested. How much?
LuckiestImmortal(Host):Make an offer.
Lin Jie was sure of three things, the lions were extinct, the LordOfTheBloodStar needed them so much he made a sponsored request post, and that his lack of a response to an extinct race of lions was to hide his excitement.
Even if you didn't care you'd at least be surprised by the feathers.
