I awaken, dazed and groggy. I stretch, it seems like my bed has gotten oddly firm, I think to myself as I move my neck feeling trying to get rid of the soreness. I open my eyes, revealing not my messy room, but instead trees, rocks and even a small red squirrel perched on a nearby branch.
"Where the fu-" I try to say but I am cut off by a loud, screeching and annoying ringing.
[Content Restriction, Keep It PG13 host]
"Where am I?" I asks, my luscious black hair still where it was.
[Location: Violet Forest, Aproximatively 124 Meters Away From Cloudfall Village]
"
Fuck
that," I shout as I run the opposite direction from the village shown on the virtual mental map projected in my head. As I was running, I looked down at myself. I had no clothes and was nude. I touched my head. I was bald. "What the fuck is a Violet Forest? Where am I exactly, which country?" I ask the robotic voice in my head.
[Location (unnecessarily specified): Violet Forest, Approximatively 124 Meters Away From Cloudfall Village. Zhen Country. Violet Forest: A small remote forest that contains a sub-species of Spirit Wolf, Violet Spirit Wolves] *Shortly after System Window closed, another one has oppened* [Suggestion: Host, Turn Around] I touch my head again and suddenly feel hair appear on my head.
"Phew" Looking around, I notice, the village is north, I turn and start running to it just for me to trip, looking down I notice a still healing wound on my leg. "Does this come with the transmigrator starting pack?" I ask.
[Host was betrayed by his younger brother Yan Feng, The bastardly spoiled brother has tied the host to a tree after crippling him, knowing no one will care if the host goes missing as the host is merely the son of a concubine]
"That makes sense.... Why can't I feel pain?"
[Host's pain receptors are turned off for the first 24 hours]
I keep on my way half-fake limping to the village, within acouple minutes I am just outside the not-so-heavily protected gates where Yin and Kim stand guard as always, they were 2 men who've failed at joining the academy due to their low aptitude and weak cultivation so, they were put as gate guards. "May I enter? It is me Yan Si" I say as the two look at me with weird looks. I am yet to realize I am still butt naked. "Young Lord Si, your bearings.."
Yin says as he looks down, but with a strong face I look back to them. "I've shown the two sirs and shameful side today, Some rascals stole from this young lord this morning as he was bathing in the lake, if you may offer me some clothes I promise to repay 10 times what I am given!"
The two guards' faces twist with mockery. I feel a surge of anger. These bastards! My mother was of low birth and I had been crippled, but I was still the Young Master of the prestigious Yan Clan! I spat at Yin's eyes, before punching him straight in the face, and delivering a low kick to Kim's crown jewels to punish his future generations.
"This way young lord" a guard gestured to the side, snickering to himself "we need to get you something to cover yourself with to avoid further shame to the name of the great Yan clan" knowing that their intentions weren't pure, nor respectful Yan Si, who was now writhing on the ground, threw dirt at one of the guards, hoping to momentarily blind him, and as he was about to attack, a kick, fast as a horse's hind came down on his thigh, killing his momentum and throwing him painfully back to the ground "you little shit" the guard groaned, dirt covering his scruffy, unkempt beared "you dare?!"
The guard roared as he landed another kick onto Yan Si, landing on his ribs, while the other guard snickered to himself as he said "I can't believe that this cripple got a good shot on you, Bai Ming" soon, the two ruffians dragged Yan Si to some ditch near the forest, after they instructed the new recruits to take their post, they wailed down on Yan Si, beating his bare body for many sticks of incense, only divinities above knew for how long, but for Yan Si, it was as if time stopped.
Soon, the two exhausted guards stood up from their past hunched positions when they were beating the poor cripple, as they took their breath, one murmured something to the other, and they went on their merry way, not before spitting on Yan Si, leaving him for his own devices.
I.. Yan Si got manhandled, utterly destroyed.... Those damn brutes, the barbarians held no punch, no care for my weak cripple body. I stand laid across the cold grass, few tears leaking down on my cheeks, I am crying at my own uselessness.. even I am a transmigrator, it feels too real, these memories of his, it's like they are mine. The utter uselessness to both me and my mother, oh my mother... May her soul find peace in the next life, that bastard father didn't even bother to make her a grave.
Those filths saliva was cold, my tears warm once turned just as cold, I tried getting up and failed, my meridians were destroyed, a pathetic cripple I was. Once more I try to get up and finally managed to barely stand on two feet. Pathetic as is, this cripple body has endured a lot this day, from the beating by my own little brother, cuts over my legs as taunts of his, bruises all over my body from the guards punches, and a stupid sword cut over my chest, the one guard who's jewels I kicked took such great offense he went after my life, not like anyone would care if I died.
[Host, Please eat your boogers, wipe your nose and get stronger, as a being with no feelings I feel embarrased and angry for you, with my guidance you must become what Yan Si failed]
[Analysis complete: User 'Yan Si' currently operating at 12% efficiency. Emotional output is excessive. Physical condition: suboptimal (pathetically weak).]
[Proposed solution: Stop being a little bitch. Consume a booger for immediate meridian healing.]
-The what..?
[Booger. Eat it]
I laughed at the absurdity. What has my life come to? To be ordered by some vexatious voice in my head. Was I going insane? I disregarded the system's inane instructions. With my bruised and tattered body, I limped away from the village. To get far, far away. The system was the one who suggested going to the village; I shouldn't have listened.
There was nothing left for me there. Especially after my mother died, my life became hell. Every day was a struggle to survive the political maneuvering within the Yan clan. My faction and my support were systematically eliminated, and this was the end result. The sun had set long ago, and starlight was slipping through the gaps of the forest canopy.
I forced my neck up, which hurt incredibly, but seeing the beautiful night sky had comforted me somewhat. The millions of stars flowing across the sky, the bright moons, the ethereal clouds, the fast approaching black splotch in the sky... Wait, what? An initially small figure in the sky became bigger and bigger as it approached. I quickly tried to hide behind a tree but stumbled and fell out into open ground.
What came out of the sky and landed beside me with a loud thump was a beast I had never seen before. Its stomach opened up entirely as I felt a huge wave of suction force that pulled me in. I gripped the ground with all my strength, but it was a futile effort.
Haha, is this seriously the end? My life has been nothing but misfortune and misfortune being stacked upon each other. My fate seems to have been cursed from the start. As the suction force pulling me became stronger, I wasn't able to hold on any longer and was swallowed whole by the bizarre creature.
As Yan Si lays in the uncomfortably tight cavernous space that is the hollowed out stomach of the beats, he can smell the dizzying odor of decay, somehow this beast, that doesn't have any innards, is able to not only move, but hunt, hours pass, and Yan Si, blacks out from the lack of oxygen, from both the high altitude of the flight, and the lack of air going into the stomach of the beast, then he wakes up, clouds surround his vision, as if fog has taken over the heavens, his footing is not visible, he stands up, not moving as he's not quite sure if his next step will land on solid ground or simply finding no footing and falling.
7 tall peaks are visible, surroundings him and piercing the clouds as if San Yi is heaven's equal, standing on Buddha's palm, with birds flocking and landing on 6 of the 7 San Yi clearly sees now that he can take a closer look that those birds are no natural creatures, with different sets of wings from different animals and monsters, as if they were a crude puzzle, fused together to create a disarray of inharmonic nightmarish pictures, and atop the tallest of the 7 San Yi sees the vague figure of a human.
If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.
Looking down on all, sitting in lotus position, after squinting San Yi realizes the horrid truth, that is no human, an amalgam of skin, muscle and tendons, shaped quite like a human, but faceless, with decaying parts revealing bones, but not quite, these "bones" are green, and lustrous, almost as if they're a carved jade, brimming with life, instead of an abomination of mineral and flesh, suddenly the figure crackles and moves it's arm, looking uncanny, as if the bones are moving the hardened, decaying muscles, the fog is pushed away, revealing a clear way to the mysterious amalgam.
As San Yi takes his first hesitant step, termors shock the the heavens, eerie light shines out of the body, melting the rotting skin and decaying meat, leaving only a complete, shining, crystal jade skeleton and the system dings as the light grows brighter.
[Warning, huge amounts of QI are being drawing towards one point, master is advised to evacuate]
The skeleton stands up and lunges at San Yi, and just as he raises his guards to block, the skeleton phrases through his skin, he can feel the pain of a thousand needles piercing every cell in his body in every point of contact, and as the skeleton fully sinks into his body another message pops in his head.
[Err-or an# unIdEniFied bei#g is attem#inh to take over hshayuei3828#]
Suddenly another voice is heared inside of Yan Si's head "Kekeke, Youngling I must thank you for saving my inheri-" The elder pauses looking at Yan Si deeply then puts a hand on his chin "A cripple? Fate sure is working in weird ways with this old ones soul, what you've just defiled is this old one's inheritance, This star jade skeleton holds an ammalgation of my lifes skills, at the first stage of the Jade Skeleton your bones toughen up and become as strong as Jade, at the second stage your blood becomes gold in color, making you regenerate at inhuman rates, and giving anyone who drinks it increased gains in cultivation, beware for danger appears from there, this current me is but a sliver of soul, I cannot tell you the rest of the functions yet." Inwardly though, the old man thought
`DAMNED BRAT... All this waiting for a vessel to take over, yet it just happened to be a cripple... I'll make sure he atleast helps me get a new body.`
"But, under one condition" The old man continues "You must gather 5 stalks of Imperial Dragon scales, 2 Kunlun horns, The blood of 20 Imperial Realm cultivators and acouple more resources that are out of your reach at the moment" Before Yan Si can even say anything the old man stops him once again, he is a talker "I'll be going to sleep for a while to collect the energy I'll lose from this" He says outloud as he appears next to Yan Si and touches his forehead.
A sliver of energy passes through to Yan Si's body and his Meridians recover at rates that exceed imagination, then the elder poofs without even letting him say yes or no. "Huh..." He stands dazed as the next moment he finds himself in an empty cave. Yan Si looked around a bit, looking for a way to get out of the cave. Yan Si noticed two light sources, one a dull violet coming from the left and to the northwest the color of the sun's natural light.
Needless to say, he went to the tunnel with the natural light source. Yan Si climbed over various weirdly shaped rocks and almost tripped over what looked to be a venomous centipede. Yan Si managed to reach what looked to be the exit, an intense warmth emanating that he could feel from here. The moment he stepped foot outside, he was blinded by the incredibly bright light, and it took a moment for his eyes to adjust. He only now realized he was still naked, with his skin feeling the severe scorching heat of the sun.
As Yan Si rubbed his eyes he asked, "Where am I?" [Location: Bone Sands Desert.] Damn it. The Bone Sands Desert was on the other side of the continent and was not near any major settlements. Oftentimes demonic sects and other unsavory individuals would take up refuge here to get away from the influence of the Grand Alliance of Orthodox Sects. Yan Hao, Yan Si's father and the Clan Patriarch, had said the bastard who killed his mother fled to this place.
Yan Si knew this to be complete and utter ||bullshit||! He knew the truth of the matter; he read the letters his father anonymously sent to some shady figure. They had mutilated her body for some vile demonic ritual that transferred her extremely rare unnamed physique, that nobody in the Clan knew of until then, that even Yan Si didn't know of until he read the letters, to Yan Feng! Her physique was discovered by that shady cultivator who had offered to 'help' Father kill two birds with one stone. Yan Si didn't have the full picture, as the letters were cryptic, but he knew enough to hate that shady cultivator, his Father, and his Younger Brother with a passion!
But the question now is, I ponder to myself, How? How do I seek revenge on all of these countless wrongs? [System fully reinitialized. System recommends user [Yan Si] eats a booger to heal and upgrade his meridians] What the ||fuck|| is wrong with this shitty system? I thought systems were supposed to be helpful. Of course I would have the luck to have the one that messes around with the user. "Fine! Fine!" I angrily say as I dig for gold, finding a sizeable sized booger. "Well, here goes nothing" I say as I swallow it whole. [User really did it?]
I feel the shock and mockery coming from those words. "Heal me already!" [User has completed quest "There's no way he actually does it" receiving the Indomitable Yang physique, as well as healing the user, and upgrading the users meridians.] "Indomitable Yang Physique?"
[The Indomitable Yang Physique is a physique that gives the host acouple buffs, some hidden at the current power level, some not. At this moment, the hosts body has reconstructed to be able to encompass the dominant masculine Yang, the hosts body got 2.5x tougher, the hosts bare strength, speed and endurance are also now super-human, even with no cultivation you're a little monster. And, before you ask, it does stack with your jade skeleton.]
"Oh, the jade skeleton" I say as I continue. "Old man you there?" No response is given. "I guess he really is gaining back his energy from healing my meridians huh.." I notice something shiny in the sand below me, my arm digs inside the sand finding something hard, I throw sand to the side as I dig it up, it was an ordinary sword. "Beggars can't be choosers" I say as I take my sword and start walking.
Minutes later I hear the sounds of screaming, it was of a male. hmm, 3 sounds actually, all male, I rush in that direction, to my surprise it wasn't what I thought, two blood lusted cultists chased after a boy looking no more than 15-16 muttering only one thing. "Blood for the blood god" "... Guess I gotta play hero" I think to myself, I notice they seem hyper-fixated on the boy, completely ignoring me,
I frown, are they calling me weak? The next seconds I slashed through the back of one of them, finally getting the others attention, his sword stroke my way slashing over my chest as I fall down, when he gets closer I panic trying to get up but he kicks my chest. "System, You said something about monster strength" [Cultivators are still even bigger monsters, You were greedy and so death is nearing.] I look at the cultist, his sword flew towards me but suddenly rotated hitting a rock, the boy who was being chased had took a decently sized stone and tried hitting his head with it. When the cultist hit the stone, I took the chance and gripped his foot pulling as he fell down, I panick and strangle him, he punches and keeps muttering "Blood for the Blood God" even as he is dying.
Overtime he lost the strenght to punch and succumbed to eternal slumber. I got up, feet shaky, I, a coward, just took the lives of 2, albeit bad people. "Kid, what's your name" I ask the boy. "Yi Fen" He responds completely unbothered, before I can try to get more information from him a loud ring is head.
