3: System mission

Somewhere far far away from earth, on a green planet brimming with energy and vitality..

This planet itself was about 10 times the size of earth, this shocking size was scary, yet there were many celestial bodies in the universe larger than it..

In a lush green and vast forest, the sound of birds and other wild animals could be heard throughout the forest..

On a sole mountain amounts a group of mountain ranges, there was a broken down wooden hut that stood there quietly as the winds blew by..

Xiao Chen painfully groaned before opening his eyes..

He heard a strange mechanical voice a while ago, before he lost consciousness, he had lost all control over his body, even while unconscious he could feel what was happening around him, it was as if he was flowing in the river of time and on his way towards heaven..

the battle between those celestial beings was still in his mind as if he had witnessed it himself..

Looking around, he realized he was in a wooden hut, with a broken bed..

Many other unfamiliar and alien-like things could be seen around the room, many swords and other weapons were on a weapon rack not far away..

"Eternal Cultivation System?, is it truly a System?" xiao Chen asked with confusion, he knew exactly what a system meant, yet he suspected he was going crazy..

If it was truly real then he didn't know wether he could control himself..

[hello host!!!] a mechanical voice rang and was heard throughout his head..

"Fuck, the system is real" excitement was shown on xiao Chen's face..

After being excited for a while he finally decided to calm down, he didn't even care if he had just left earth..

He was more happy than scared to be honest..

"System what do I do?" Xiao Chen asked, maybe the System could help him, he truly felt like a main character..

[host has to open his status screen first] the system's voice was heard once again..

"Uhh...status" xiao Chen said, a little hesitant..

[ host: xiao Chen

Age: 15

Cultivation: Nil..

Skills:

Items: starter pack] A holographic azure screen appeared before his eyes, noticing the status screen, xiao Chen knew this wasn't one of those leveling systems, which was slightly disappointing, who knows maybe the system will be a lot more useful?..

"System, uhh..open the starter pack"

Xiao Chen said..

The holographic screen before his eyes shook a bit before a box with drawings of divine beasts on it..

The box shook for a bit before a black book appeared on the screen..

[rewards: Primordial Devouring technique, memories] the system's mechanical voice was heard..

Hearing the system rewards, xiao Chen became shocked, the technique which was rewarded by the system sounded too domineering..

"System, can you explain more about the technique?" Xiao Chen asked with expectation, it was better to know about the technique before using it.

[the primordial devouring technique was created in the beginning of time, with the help of many supreme beings it was created after a supreme being observed a black hole absorb a star field, this technique is able to train the soul,body,and Qi, the host just has to absorb many beings to raise his cultivation, the technique also solidify's the cultivation base so the host doesn't have a backlash, as one of the strongest techniques in all the realms, it even helps the host speed up the time it takes to master skills]

the system's mechanical voice was heard in his head..

"Damn that's f*cking overpowered" xiao Chen shouted, if he could absorb the power of his opponents and add it to his own, he would cultivate faster, he didn't even have to sit down like others, this technique was priceless..

Xiao Chen calmed down after a while..

"System, give me the memories" xiao Chen noticed the last reward after calming down himself...

[integrating memories] after the system's mechanical voice was heard..

A flood of memories flew into ciao Chen's mind, these memories came one by one slowly, giving him enough time to comprehend each...

Like he suspected he had been brought to a world of cultivation, the owner of the body before him was a 15 year old youth also named xiao Chen, he used to live in a small village with his grandpa, one day he followed his grandpa to pick herbs in the mountains, but upon their return the whole village was destroyed by a beast...

Things like these were normal in the desolate lands, without strength no one was strong..

He lived with his grandpa on a mountain peak for many years, his grandpa died a few months ago, the last owner of the body was very weak, he himself was already close to dying as well..

His predecessor looked a lot like himself back on earth, with he same short black hair, and a slightly handsome face..

[system mission!!!

Task: reach the body refinement realm...

Rewards:[astral gale sword art]

"Hmm, so the system just gives me missions and rewards?, not bad" xiao Chen though, even though it wasn't a leveling system, it was better than nothing...

"system, what is the fastest way to reach the body refinement realm?" Xiao Chen asked..

[has the host forgot?, the host has to absorb living things and resources to improve his cultivation" the system reminded...

"Holy shit, you are right" xiao Chen has an idea of what he should do, he would go and absorb those weak animals after killing them, he wouldn't dare go fight those stronger beasts..

He slowly moved off the bed before grabbing a sword off the weapon rack..

The sword was kinda heavy, after all he had a weak body currently..

With a few swings he smiled before walking out of the broken down wooden hut, anything he would find would be his first victim, the forest itself was pretty dangerous, he wouldn't dare to become the least bit careless while searching around..
