After Li Chen came out of the cave he woke up in, He saw that this place was deserted so far as eyes could see. Except for trees or birds, No other living being was found in view.
"System Hero, Where are we?"
[Nowhere near civilization.]
Speechless, Li Chen wanted to ask why are they here then? Wasn't his purpose to get allies or whatnot and then save this world?
As if listening to Li Chen's inner monologue, System Hero answered.
[You are still too weak, And this place is the best place for you to Cultivate.]
Understanding the meaning of Systemhero, Li Chen continued the topic.
"How do I cultivate?"
As he asked, A sword appeared in front of him, then a bow with some arrows and lastly a beautiful dagger.
"What? Do I fight?"
[Please kill the Red-eyed wolves leader, Of course, you can kill all the other beasts on the way too, This will help you get what your cultivation means.]
"Is my cultivation different?"
A bit confused, Li Chen asked system Hero.
[Yes.]
"...Please Explain."
[That is because you as someone from earth can't feel this world's Qi. The energy Human's on earth use is Primordial energy, Very different from Qi. You are not dead on earth and so there are restrictions that is you won't be able to sense Qi. Unless you die on Earth and completely become a person from this World. Because of this, you will have to cultivate as one does in Games, that is by getting Exp or experience. Do you Get it, Lone Hero?]
"Yes Thank You for the Explanation."
The System made the right choice. He will never die on earth unless he has saved the world alongside the survivors or be obliterated. He has memories with Earth, that place is the place where he is born and raised, Lived with Family, had Siter and Brother in law, Brother and sister-in-law, Had small nephews and nieces, They had made many memories on that planet Earth. The Earth is his Origin, That place will not be destroyed, Never.
"So Where will I find the Red-Eyed Wolves?"
[Please search yourself.]
"I am sorry, I became a bit too dependent on you."
[No, There are many things you won't know, So this is natural.]
"Yes, but I was used to be independent for 20 years. So this sudden dependence feels a bit you know...Uncomfortable."
[Lone Hero, You do know that I am a System?]
Confused, Lone Hero Li Chen nodded.
[That is Good, I felt you had hit your head and was asking a machine how it feels.]
"...."
Alright his mistake, Because of how System Hero talked, Li Chen took him as a Human.
Li Chen took the sword and dagger, He then put the arrows and bow in system space. Daggers were the main weapon of Li Chen back at the start of the Apocalypse, He was not a stranger to it. Especially when his teacher was his teammate Evan Spencer, An American, He was retired from the army and he had yet to go on a date with his girlfriend when the apocalypse occurred.
Evan's girlfriend was a very nice girl, She had saved him at the cost of her own life. But even never betrayed him or took him guilty but taught him all his skills. As he was quite young back then, he was taught by many people, and even after 20 years, they teach him. He has treated them as teachers then Friends.
"This place is way too...sweet, too easy...It's different."
Coming out of his memories, He started to walk, his walk slowly converted into Jog and then he ran, As he ran, He heard System Hero's notification.
[Lone Hero, There is a mine, The Mine is full of Black snakes. You can get Exp there too.]
Nodding he ran in the mine's direction. After coming in front of the mine he kicked his foot and ran inside. The inside was dark, Only a rushing sound came, Li Chen didn't even waste a second, Smoothy stabbed the dagger beside his foot and heard a notification.
[Level up! Body Tempering Stage 2.]
"...Wha? This easy?"
[The Exp required was low and the Monster killed was High.]
...Alright I understand, This is not easy. Ok, I get it.
As System Hero has said, The Exp for Body Tempering Stage was very Low, He emptied the cave of Snakes and his Cultivation became Body Tempering Stage 6.
Right now it was night time and Li Chen was taking a bath while System had materialized into Little Fairy as it roasted meat beside Riverbank.
The body of Li Chen was really heaven-defying. It was smooth without a scar, His skin was pale, did not have six-packs only a few abdominal muscles. His Face was without any blemish, his Eyelashes long, Eye's Dark Red, While Long Obsidian Hair followed like rainfall on his back, His Lips were full and pink, Under the moonlight, This Guy looked Immortal.
"System, You...Really overwent with adjustments of my body."
System Hero which was roasting the Snake meat said without any expression, His body was like a small pixie yet it easily took the roasted meat and bite it.
[Your real body is also the same, Only that you didn't take care of it for a long time.]
"So this is based on my Actual Appearance...I really forgot..."
[You have not focused on anything for past some years except fighting and in war. So Yes, As a human, you could have forgotten.]
"...You are talking too much suddenly...Did you like snake meat?"
[....]
So he did? Heh. Li Chen looked at the Mosquito-shaped little chubby System, He really wanted to laugh at his bulging belly.
After washing his clothes and changing the robes, Li Chen sat with System and both ate the meat. After eating, System Hero said.
[You Have six rewards from leveling up and 600 points. You can open System Shop for what you want.]
"Alright. But Can you First Explain the Grades or Ranks of this World's Cultivation and Weapons and stuff?"
[Yes, There are 12 cultivation levels. First {Body Tempering} < {Qi gathering} < {Core Formation} < {Nirvana Heaven} < {Master} < {Grandmaster} < {King} < {Emperor} < {Death Devouring} < {Half Immortal} < {Immortal} and {God}]
"Oh...Wait, God? Means real one?"
[Of course.]
"Wowie. Will God be able to save our Earth?"
[Now that you have asked, I will tell you this, Earth is not invaded by simple Aliens. They are universal Criminals, Your world is their 19th target.]
Clenching his fists, Li Chen asked.
"What happened to the other 18?"
[Destroyed without Ash to remain.]
Rusling sound could be heard and silence engulfed the surrounding.
'...I must go back with strong support! Must!'
Li Chen's red eyes became pitch black as his emotions became unstable. After a while, he laid down and closed his eyes.
The black dead eyes sparkled when they heard the sentence.
'Yes.'
[Do you want power?]
'No.'
The young man smirked, He is already quite powerful, So powerful that on Earth no one will be able to harm him, that is except those High ranked Monsters.
[This is System Hero, Here to make a deal with you. Do you want to listen?]
Looking at the destroyed building of Beijing, The once beautiful city, Li Chen answered calmly.
'Let's hear.'
[If you want to save earth alone that is not possible, But If I present you a world where you can temper yourself and gain allies then it is possible, But in return, you need to save the world where you will start your second life. Do you Understand?]
'So in simple words, I am to save the world where I will gather allies from too?'
[Yes.]
'...Alright. I am already alone and tired here, Let's go on vacation then.'
[Do you Accept the bonding?]
'I Do.'
[System hero has found the {Lone Hero}, Now Bonding, 10%....35%...52%...71%...89%....100% bonding complete. Now protecting the body....Done, Transfering the soul of Lone Hero Li Chen from planet {Earth} to Planet {Immortal Heaven}...]
Li Chen's body froze and a transparent soul came out from it, As it did his body vanished.
'I will return, I will surely come back, wait for me, everyone.'
[Done! The transfer is initiated. Lone Hero Li Chen, May God Bless You.]
