"Here we go." Draken intoned, walking into the hole and got transported beyond the wall instantly. Draken glanced around the foreign environment, it looked foreign to him since it was his first time there.The place looked like a ruined city, the smell erked of abandonement with lots of skyscrapers all around that were already destroyed and at the brink of collapsing. The floor was filled with debris and lots of stones from the crumbled buildings.There were different streets that led to different hunting routes, and also the sound of hungry, deadly and evil monsters roaring and growling filled the place."This place is more strange than I anticipated," Draken mused while sweeping his gaze through the ruined city. While Draken was busy examining the place, he began to hear footsteps from behind prompting him to turn around.All he saw were four individuals that consisted of two guys and two ladies, all equipped in high graded Monster Armours, and different weapons strapped behind the
It happened right after Draken finished hunting the monsters..."SlYSTEM OVERHAUL COMMENCING...""THE SYSTEM WILL UNDERGO ALTERATIONS...""YOU WILL RETAIN YOUR PREVIOUS ABILITIES AS PASSIVES...""ALTERATIONS DONE, YOUR SYSTEM HAS EVOLVED.""YOU WILL BE TRANSMIGRATED INTO A NEW REALITY." "THE MORE ACHIEVEMENTS YOU GATHER, THE MORE YOU CAN TRAVEL THROUGH OTHER REALITIES." "COMMENCING TRANSMIGRATION..." "YOU WILL RETAIN YOUR NAME, AND REGAIN THE MEMORIES OF YOUR NEW HOST BODY..." "What the?" Draken didn't have time to react, he was suddenly engulfed by a bright gold light. The next thing he knew, he was in a different place...By unlocking achievements, he would be able to obtain and upgrade the corresponding skills."The f*ck! Why would this lousy system take me to a different world?"A few months later...Draken decided to play through with the whole thing, and using his skills, he managed to earn enough money to cater for himself.But the question as to what's next kept lurking.
Three days passed, and Draken gathered at his school along with his classmates. Yonkers First High School had a total of 863 students taking the college entrance exam this time, which was a big test for all the schools.The principal, standing on the high flag-raising platform, gave an encouraging speech before the exam. He reminded the students that going to Myriad Beast Mountain was a chance to see how well they'd been preparing for years.He told them that being a martial artist meant protecting others, not just fighting bravely. He suggested they think carefully if they weren't sure about that kind of life. Once inside Myriad Beast Mountain, even with emergency devices, rescue might not come right away, leaving their fate uncertain.He stressed the need for courage and determination, asking them to think again about their decision. Draken was surprised by the principal's advice, wondering why he would suggest giving up on the exam.However, it was normal when Draken thought about
Draken's reaction speed surpassed the others, possibly because of his transmigration status, even though they were all level 6 Martial Apprentices. With two lives under his belt, Draken possessed more life experience than regular high schoolers. Despite occasionally acting immaturely to trigger his achievement system, he remained vigilant.He noticed the green shadows emerging from the grass before anyone else and swiftly took action, especially when he realized they were targeting Nana, who had his back turned."Be careful!" Draken whispered, pushing Nana out of harm's way. Then, he swiftly employed his basic movement technique, his palms glowing red as he struck out with his fists.Utilizing the Diamond Dust Palm technique, Draken swiftly dispatched the green shadows, shattering their heads with precise strikes. The power of the Diamond Dust Palm was evident as the beasts fell simultaneously.Recognizing the creatures as jade snakes, Draken swiftly took action, a skill he had honed
The subordinate, drenched in sweat, rushed to explain, "We've just found out that the zone numbers don't match the ones we cleared previously...""What was H District originally assigned as?" the director's expression turned grim."J-J District," the subordinate replied weakly."J District?!" The director shot up from his seat, his voice filled with anger. "How could such a monumental mistake happen? What exactly are you all doing?!"Fuming, the director continued, "Do you realize the significance of J District? Do you understand the potential loss of life because of this error?""Director, w-we..." The subordinate's back was drenched in cold sweat. "This isn't entirely our fault. We cleared the examination area before the exam started. However, there seems to have been a subtle but significant geological shift in the secret realm of Myriad Beast Mountain afterward. The positions of the mountainside and the foot of the mountain seemed to have swapped. By the time we noticed, the exam
This time, not only Draken and York but also Nana and Raul, who were not academically inclined, were astonished.“This is... blood-red rice?” York ventured.In conventional terms, this was already considered a low-level heaven and earth treasure, albeit with a low rank. Its primary function was to enhance one's blood, and it had no usage restrictions; martial artists of any rank could partake. For Martial Apprentices like Draken, it was especially beneficial, akin to an experience potion.Typically found in secret realms, blood-red rice required absorbing the vitality of strong creatures to flourish. Its roots extracted flesh and blood essence to nourish itself, yielding rice with blood-strengthening properties. Given the frequent deaths in the secret realm, encountering blood-red rice occasionally was not unusual.However, the issue lay in the sheer abundance before them—not just a few stalks, but an entire field. Moreover, the field was meticulously tended, a neatly arranged square
The blood-red rice field spread out in a perfect square, about 50 meters long and wide. Despite its size, there weren't many rice ears ready for picking.“Let's pick what we can,” Draken said eagerly.The teens, wearing loose sportswear school uniforms, quickly wrapped the rice, filling their pockets with every ear they found. They didn't waste a single grain.“Time to eat,” Draken said with a grin.Thinking about his newfound Absolute Directional Sense, Draken realized how useful it was. Finding the blood-red rice field might not have been by chance; his strong hunger probably helped them find it.“Your leading skills are great,” York said.Draken chuckled. “You can call me a top-notch tour guide.”York chuckled back. “You're taking compliments seriously, huh?”The group settled near a small hill with a spring. They washed the blood-red rice in the water, taking off the shells by hand. They knew the rice was good for martial arts cultivation.As night came, they felt hungry. They kep
None of them managed to get a good night's sleep.The sounds of battle and screams persisted, growing nearer with each passing moment. Everyone, including Draken, felt on edge.The campsite offered favorable conditions overall, but the open terrain had its pros and cons.In times of safety, they could survey their surroundings from the slightly elevated hill.However, in times of danger, the exposed mountain peak left them vulnerable, with nowhere to hide and nowhere to flee but to become live targets.Fortunately, despite the escalating chaos drawing closer, it didn't encroach upon the few individuals atop the mountain.With bated breath, they endured the tumult until dawn.“It seems to have quieted down.”“Should we go check it out?” Draken suggested in a hushed tone.Though slightly perilous, the idea seemed necessary; the pungent scent of blood lingering from the chaos had already wafted up with the mountain breeze.Continuing to linger risked discovery by other demonic beasts or
