"What?"
"I sincerely apologize, master!"
"What do you mean?"
"I'm very sorry, but right now, I can't take you back to Earth!"
And finally, Claude had to accept that he was brought to a strange place and could no longer return home.
Seeing Claude lost in thought for a while, Rosalie spoke up to remind him: "Master, although I can't take you back to Earth right now, as long as you complete the mission and reach a certain level, you can leave this dimension on your own and return home!"
"Really?"
Claude seemed like he wanted to rush and hug Rosalie tightly, but Rosalie appeared like a mirage, untouchable. She calmly replied: "Yes, master! As long as you reach the God level, you can leave this dimension and find your way home!"
"God level? How long will it take me to reach the God level?"
"That is…"
Seeing Rosalie's hesitation, Claude felt a burning anger inside. Fortunately, Rosalie quickly responded.
"Based on my calculations, if master completes all the main quests, it might take about ten years to reach that level, and at most, it might extend to a hundred years. But, master can be assured, one year in this world is equivalent to one day on Earth. So, it won't be long before you can return home!"
"Really? You're not deceiving me, are you?"
"That... master can rest assured! I can stake my honor on assuring the master! As long as the master diligently completes the tasks, you will quickly reach the required level! I can guarantee that!"
Seeing Claude still looking at her with skepticism, Rosalie carefully said: "Master, we are currently in the Eternal Star, a medium-sized dimension. This place has plenty of resources for the master to cultivate. As long as the master tries hard, I believe it won't take ten years; the master will reach the God level! That's equivalent to just ten days on Earth!"
"Are you really not deceiving me?"
Rosalie nodded and replied: "I definitely wouldn't dare deceive the master!"
At this point, Claude could only sigh and accept his fate. He looked up at the sky obscured by tree canopies, his heart inevitably filled with thoughts of his parents, murmuring softly: "Dad, Mom! Please wait for me to return!"
Claude took a deep breath, then turned to ask Rosalie: "Right, you mentioned a newcomer's gift pack and a profession gift pack earlier. Can we open them now to see?"
Hearing Claude's question, Rosalie let out a sigh of relief.
"Yes, master!"
Rosalie immediately replied and began to open the two gift packages.
"Ding!"
"The newbie gift package has been opened!"
"Congratulations to the owner for receiving a weapon, a skill book, and an experience pouch!"
"Ding!"
"Congratulations to the owner for receiving the Hunter's Profession Bag!"
Immediately after, an information panel appeared in front of Claude.

Strength: 10
Defense: 10

Seeing this information panel, Claude curiously turned to ask Rosalie: "Doesn't this information panel look a lot like those interfaces in games?"
"Yes, this is a panel we created based on data from Earth, to make it user-friendly for the owner!"
"So, can only I see this?"
"Yes, my lord! Everything the owner is seeing is in a separate space of the system, invisible to others. Even deities cannot see it! So, the owner can rest assured."
Claude thought for a while, then felt it made sense. He often read fantasy, science fiction, system, and virtual reality novels, so he was somewhat familiar with these concepts. However, he never imagined he would one day receive a system like this. A thought suddenly flashed through his mind: "Aren't the main characters in stories always very powerful? Could I become as dominant as them?"
Sensing Claude's thoughts, Rosalie spoke up: "My lord, due to the company's orders are not very good! This system is just a common professional system. Besides aiding the owner in cultivation, everything else requires the owner's effort! Rosalie cannot offer too much help to the owner! So, please forgive Rosalie!"
Regardless of what Claude thought, he couldn't imagine his luck being so bad. He could only grit his teeth and swallow his grievances. Seeing Claude's frustration, Rosalie sensitively smiled and said: "My lord, to compensate for my mistake, Rosalie will specially enhance the owner's benefits. Now, the owner's experience pouch and skill book will be upgraded to advanced level. Please accept your rewards!"
"Ding!"
"Experience pouch opened successfully! Congratulations to the owner for receiving 5000 experience points!"

"Ding!"

Looking at this, Claude gained some understanding of his own attributes. By this time, dusk had begun to fall, silently dyeing the vast forest red, filling Claude Young's heart with panic. This was the first time Claude had been away from his family, and in a completely unfamiliar world, without relatives or acquaintances. Could a high school student like Claude survive in such a world?
"Ding, the system has successfully activated the main quest, go to Young House countryside, receive the commission from Toxic Master Kendrick Young!"
The system's reminder startled Claude, and then a 3D map appeared in front of him.
This was a regional map, drawn in great detail, showing Claude's location and marked with several eye-catching red dots. Claude counted about five or six of these red dots, but it was unclear what they indicated since the map did not specify. Only one area, about twenty miles northeast of Claude's position, was clearly marked. This was a residential area spanning about fifty to sixty square miles, named Young House countryside.
"Master, the area you are currently in is part of the Dark Forest, one of the four major territories of the Beast Mountain Range. At night, this place becomes active with wild beasts and monsters. To ensure your safety, Rosalie suggests you quickly move towards the Young House countryside to rest!"
While Claude was still dazedly looking at the map, Rosalie's reminder sounded again. Claude, startled and flustered, said: "Rosalie, how can I get to Young House countryside?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Claude inwardly scolded himself. But then, Rosalie simply smiled, revealing her beautiful dimples, and explained: "Master, you just need to follow the direction of the arrow on the map!"
After saying this, the light flashed and disappeared. Claude looked around, feeling a chill down his spine: "Ah, it seems I have to rely on myself!"
Sighing, Claude quickly adjusted his mood and followed the arrow on the map towards Young House countryside.
He did not know how long he had walked, but the sunset had turned dark, and the sound of birds returning to their nests grew louder, while the distance to Young House countryside was more than halfway covered. Claude was worried if he could reach Young House countryside before it got completely dark.
Just then, about seven or eight yards ahead of him, a plump white rabbit was nibbling on a ginseng root as big as an adult's arm. When it heard Claude's approaching footsteps, it looked at him suspiciously with its large, black, round eyes, and sniffed a few times with its nose.
Claude had never seen such an adorable rabbit before, and he was intrigued and wanted to step forward to hug the rabbit. However, as soon as Claude moved, the rabbit became frightened, turned its back, wiggled a few times, and then darted into the forest and disappeared.
Claude couldn't help feeling helpless and scratched his head a few times.
"Ding! Rabbit King discovered, beginning the newcomer quest to collect ten pairs of rabbit ears."
While Claude was still bewildered and unsure of what was happening, Rosalie appeared once again to explain: "Master, this is a side quest. These quests will be initiated based on the master's circumstances. After the master completes the quest, the system will unlock the mount system, and you will receive the Rabbit King as a mount! Please check the map again to quickly complete the quest!"
Rosalie finished speaking and disappeared once more. Claude felt a bit annoyed. How could this woman come and go as she pleases, without bothering to explain anything? Is she considering me the master, or is she actually the master?
Though he thought this, Claude did not want to waste more time lingering in this dense forest. He quickly headed towards the location where the white rabbit had just disappeared. After walking about fifty or sixty yards, Claude finally saw a group of gray wild rabbits quietly nibbling on the grass below.
Looking at these gray rabbits, Claude hesitated. Did he really have to kill them? With just a thought, a wooden bow appeared in Claude's hand, its string made from animal sinew, with silver metal wrapped around both ends of the string. Above the body of the bow are engraved a few words whose meaning is not very clear. At that moment, a quiver full of steel-tipped arrows, gleaming brilliantly, appeared on Claude's back. Yet, inside, Claude was secretly lamenting. He had never used such a thing since he was born. However, Claude did not realize that when he held the bow in his hand, his posture became firm and calm like a skilled hunter, completely unlike his previous frail, scholarly appearance without a bit of strength. "Thwack!" An arrow was shot, hitting a gray rabbit near where Claude stood, startling the rest of the rabbits. Claude was puzzled, wondering since when he had become so formidable. Could it be that he was a hidden genius, naturally skilled? Indeed, he was impressive
The blades flashed, the two weapons in the girl's hands gleaming with a cold light as they aimed straight for the wolf's neck. Her movements were incredibly fast and decisive, without any warning. At this point, the grey wolf was truly irritated, it roared and leaped to avoid the attack. But the girl's movements did not stop there, the blade in her hand suddenly changed direction, aiming straight for the wolf's belly to slash. It was only then that it became clear how sharp the edges of the girl's blades were. Despite the wolf's agile movements, it was still struck by a blow. A tuft of wolf fur fell to the ground, leaving a deep cut half an inch deep on its skin, exposing some white fat. Fortunately, its thick skin and flesh meant that it only suffered a minor injury, if its reaction had been a little slower, it might have actually been gutted by the girl. "Grunt!" The grey wolf felt extremely humiliated; it was a high-level monster, and this girl had only reached the peak of the i
"Hey, listen, how could I possibly be your brother-in-law? I didn't even see anything. Besides, in my hometown, women often dress even more sexily than that!" Claude felt extremely annoyed, so he glared and spoke bluntly. "What?" But he could never have imagined that Mortimer's gaze towards him would be so fierce at this moment. Even Tiffany, who was walking a distance ahead, stopped in her tracks and looked intently this way. The white rabbit lying in Claude's arms was startled by the actions of the two, its white fur standing on end. "Hey, hey! What's going on with you two? I... I was just giving an example, and besides, it's not like I can defeat her, can I? How could I possibly become your brother-in-law?" "Hmph, that's a matter for later, but now that you've seen Tiffany's body, you must take responsibility. Otherwise, you must duel with her today. As long as you win, you can leave!" Mortimer stepped forward three steps, pulling the axe on his shoulder in front of him, his eye
At this point, Claude started to play dirty; as soon as he jumped out, he immediately pulled his bowstring taut, aimed, and fired an arrow. However, with such crude movements, he couldn't deceive her. Tiffany slightly shifted her body, dodging the arrow shot by Claude, and with a knife carrying a cool breath, quickly advanced towards Claude's face. "My God, how is this crazy woman so fast?" Previously dealing with the wild rabbits was quite easy, so now facing Tiffany's decisive and swift moves, Claude became disoriented, his steps faltered, and he accidentally tripped over a rock, falling to the ground. This allowed Tiffany's knife to only graze past his face, missing his body. "Ah, save me!" Claude screamed in horror, then rolled several times on the ground to avoid. Despite this, Claude's cries for help continued, making Tiffany both angry and amused. "So, do you want to continue fighting or not?" "Don't force me!" Claude quickly stood up, clenching the bow in his hand, and s
In these memories, Claude saw a horde of bizarre creatures, ugly and ferocious, like a swarm of bugs emerging from the earth, invading towns, killing people, setting fires, raping, committing every imaginable atrocity. Until a group of white-clad soldiers appeared, wielding various forces, magical powers, and spells, easily wiping out the ugly creatures, leaving no trace behind. The surviving people worshipped them as gods. As time passed, humans were born, aged, and died, in an endless cycle, continuous and unbroken. Only the gods worshipped by humans remained ageless, without sickness or ailment, their youth unchanged for ten thousand years. Seeing such a sight, many curious people approached the gods, asking them to teach magic, to grant them power, for eternal life like theirs. Initially, the gods refused, sending those seekers away. But gradually, the pleading of humans softened the hearts of some gods, who then bestowed a bit of their strength and personally taught them some mag
At that moment, a middle-aged man, accompanied by a dozen men in armor, came towards the crowd and shouted loudly."Who the hell is yelling at me?" Mortimer, who was fiercely fighting, cursed in anger upon hearing the shout, but after turning around, his expression slightly contracted: "Ah, Nelson , is it you?""Hmph, what are you two brothers doing here? Are you causing trouble and fighting?" The middle-aged man in front, named Nelson Young, was the captain of the Young House countryside guards, with a strength that had reached the Advanced Peak."No, really, there's no such thing!" Mortimer, well aware of Nelson's temperament, immediately clarified."Really, there's no trouble?" Nelson glanced skeptically at Mortimer, then turned to Tiffany and asked: "Tell me, what exactly happened?"Upon hearing this shout, the crowd completely stopped their actions, and Tiffany, glaring at the middle-aged man lying on the ground, gritted her teeth and said: "It was him, he claimed I broke a famil
Seeing the situation turning grim, Mortimer instinctively clenched his fists, then turned to Claude shouting: "Brother-in-law, run! You can't beat these people, let us handle it!"At that moment, even Tiffany turned to look at Claude, nodding her head. Claude, observing their expressions, twitched the corners of his mouth: "What's this situation? Looking down on me? My God, I have the system, don't I?"Though he thought so, Claude said aloud: "Don't worry, it's just a bunch of rabble, I can handle them!""What, you little devil, you want to die?" The underlings, just as they charged, were taken aback by Claude's words and started cursing.From the system, Claude had already gauged the level of this group. Apart from the leader who had reached Advanced level one, the seven or eight others were only at Mid-level four or five. Such a lineup could temporarily be considered as minor monsters. Therefore, to the shouts of these people, Claude simply shook his head in disdain.Moreover, altho
"What are you standing there for? Did you hear what I said?" Seeing Claude standing dumbfounded outside the door, Tiffany couldn't help but get angry and elbowed him.Claude, who was about to check out the item and prestige shops, was startled by the elbow, immediately exiting the system."So, are you coming in or not?" Tiffany, having called him multiple times without a response, started to lose her temper."What are you yelling for? I'm not deaf, let's go inside!" Claude, hurt by the elbow, glared at her, then walked quickly into the house without paying her any more attention."What..." Tiffany was stunned on the spot, having never been treated like this by anyone before."I... I'm going to bite you to death!"Tiffany screamed in anger and then bit Claude's arm. Claude couldn't help but yell: "You... you're crazy, let go, let go!"But in terms of sheer strength, Claude was no match for her and could only endure the pain from the bite, grinding his teeth and tearing up."You're craz
Hearing the successive notifications from the system, Claude couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, finally having completed the system's mission, and now he could rest a bit!After an unknown amount of time, Larissa Fox eventually woke up from her daze, her gaze complex as she looked at Claude's somewhat youthful yet handsome face resting on her chest.Although it was somewhat blurry, she was aware of what had transpired between them, and that he had left something of his inside her. If asked whether she was angry, of course, she was. Even though she knew he was saving her, the purity she had maintained for two hundred years was vaguely taken away by him, which she found hard to accept.After
However, outwardly, he still appeared troubled and said: "Rosalie, doing this, will it really be safe? And, how could this poisonous insect enter the protective amulet and attack she?"Rosalie glanced at him with a disdainful look, understanding his thoughts well, but outwardly, she still had to show seriousness and honesty: "Master, Rosalie is not very clear about this, perhaps after the detoxification is complete, you may receive some good news!"Hearing her say this, Claude became even more excited, quickly exiting the system, and then looked at the beautiful body of Larissa Fox lying unconscious on the ground.At this closer look, Claude realized she was truly beautiful. Compared to Korean actr
After posing this question, Claude looked at her curiously: "Larissa, you're really quite peculiar!""Peculiar?" She didn't understand in what way she was peculiar to Claude, but she just smiled softly and continued: "You didn't have to come to this dangerous place with me, but because I was stubborn and reckless, I've brought you here. You really won't resent me?"Hearing her ask this, Claude was momentarily taken aback, but then he laughed out loud. Of course, she didn't know he had a system, and his mission this time was to gather Soul Flower here, so how could he possibly resent her? Of course not!Claude's laughter made Larissa Fox slightly annoyed, but t
Looking at the area within a hundred meters being surrounded by lightning, Claude secretly took a cold breath, continuously swallowing his saliva, and whispered: "This time, I'm really done for!"Just when he was most desperate, the figure of the Thunderbolt Fox suddenly rushed forward, shielding him underneath. And then the lightning began to strike."Boom! Boom! Boom!"Lightning covered the sky, like purple snakes slithering down to the ground, turning the surroundings within a hundred meters into ruins. Whether it was trees that required five or six people to embrace, or rocks as big as half a hill, all were shattered by the lightning. Even several high-lev
While the Rabbit King was still fuming and cursing Claude internally, suddenly, an arrow shot from afar, followed by a familiar figure appearing in front of Claude. She looked at him with a smile and said: "Little brother, why are you running so slowly? You really had me worried!"Claude's face darkened as he glared at her, saying: "Big sister, how can you still laugh at a time like this? I almost became food for that beast!""Oh, is that so? But just now, didn't I see you looking quite majestic and formidable? I thought you didn't need my help anymore." Larissa Fox said, covering her mouth to giggle.However, seeing Claude's face grow darker, she stopped laughing and became serious again, firing another arrow."Whoosh!""Roar!"Immediately after, an angry roar from the Golden Fang Tiger followed. But by then, Larissa Fox had already turned around, pulling Claude along, saying: "Run quickly!"Claude couldn't help but silently lament the unpredictable nature of women."Women, truly as
Claude, desperate, shouted: "But this place is about to collapse, why stay here? If you don't leave with us, how will you meet Rosalie when she returns?!"It seemed Claude's words struck a chord with her. She paused, then nodded: "Yes, you're right, I must live! I have to be alive for Rosalie to come back to me!"Although she was deceiving herself, the hope of living sparked within her.Seeing her change of heart, Claude looked at Hailey, signaling her. The Fox Clan young ladies also regained their spirits. Despite their heartache, seeing Claude persuade their princess with just a few words brought them silent joy. Hailey approached Larissa Fox, offering her hand to help her up: "Princess, let this servant help you out."But Larissa Fox waved her hand dismissively and then stood up with the Ice Bow herself: "Do you think I'm that weak? Hmph, I can walk on my own! Everyone, follow me out!"After regaining her spirit, her aura surged once again, bringing joy to everyone who saw it. Howe
Moreover, Wallace, being a Saint Level powerhouse, quickly found the clues to the teleportation formation. On a piece of black-green stone, countless runes were carved, merging together to form an elliptical circle, just large enough for one person to fit inside. However, Wallace tried every method he could think of, yet he was unable to activate the teleportation formation.Feeling extremely frustrated, Wallace wondered whether he should go back and find a formation master to assist him. But at that moment, the light on the teleportation formation suddenly brightened. Initially, Wallace thought his efforts had paid off, but he quickly realized that was not the case, as someone was emerging from it. Mixed with relief and caution, Wallace quickly stepped back a few steps to maintain a safe distance.After the teleportation formation glowed for a while, the person inside began to step out. Initially, Claude's group didn't know someone was waiting for them on this side. When they emerged
As she spoke, she led everyone to a spot under the tree, where they then noticed how incredibly large the tree's base was. They had been following her for more than ten minutes, yet they hadn't completed a circle around the trunk. Finally, they saw Rosalie bend down to pick an Essence Mushroom from a rotting corner of the tree trunk.She held it up in front of everyone and said: "Yes, this is it! It doesn't taste good at all, but it's very beneficial, Rosalie finds its scent very pleasing!"Indeed, this was a thousand-year-old Blood Essence Mushroom, nurtured by the heavens and earth and enriched by the spiritual energy of the Sacred Fruit tree, making its essence highly concentrated. Larissa Fox's eyes sparkled at the sight. And Claude's heart skipped a beat because Rosalie's voice in the system suddenly shouted: "Yes, this is good stuff, master, quickly give it to Rosalie, and she will exchange it for a high-level skill book for you!"However, Larissa Fox had already taken it into h
Out of fear, Tommy's words were a bit disordered, but Wallace's heart tightened. From these words, he could roughly guess a thing or two, fearing that his brother, Zachary, had come to a bad end. Struggling to contain his anger, Wallace forced out each word: "Explain everything to me clearly!"Even the eight men in black felt a chill due to the killing intent emanating from Wallace. Tommy, like a terrified mouse in the presence of a fierce cat, immediately recounted everything from beginning to end.After listening, Wallace screamed: "Dead! My brother is dead?"Feeling the immense aura from Wallace growing stronger by the day, everyone below held their breath, feeling an immense pressure compressing their chests. The soldiers outside also sensed the immense killing intent emanating from the commander's tent, all of them looking back in fear."Who will tell me, what exactly happened here?" Wallace unleashed his full aura, roaring in anguish.Even the Golden Fang Tiger lying in a corner
