A New Destiny
Even though Qin Tian is only 14 years old, he knows clearly what fate will be like.
Without family, without money, without background, without connections, and the problems that he would face because of his mistakes, he knew that he would have no future on this planet called earth.
Actually, his face is quite cute for a man. If he grew up in a good environment, he might be able to become a beautiful man like Korean artists.
But he knows that he doesn't have that kind of destiny.
Only he knew why, and he wouldn't tell anyone else because just thinking about it made him want to cry over his grim fate.
Unless fate gave him a new destiny.
Ding.
A sound like the sound of a bell suddenly echoed in his mind.
After that, something unbelievable appeared before his eyes.
It looked like a virtual screen, and on that virtual screen, he saw a lot of text that looked like information.
(Name: Qin Tian)
(Race: Human)
(Gen: 0 / Infinite)
(Strength: 3 / 10)
(Spiritual Energy: 0 / 10)
(Agility: 6 / 10)
(Stamina: 2 / 10)
(Skill: None)
(Body: Mortal Body)
"Congratulations, you have been chosen to host the Monster Emperor System. You will get a gene called the Emperor Monster gene. Monster Emperor Gene will transform your body into Monster Emperor Body."
"Your planet is currently not suitable for you to evolve, therefore, we will send you to a planet where you can evolve properly."
Qin Tian couldn't help but be stunned when he heard a robotic-like voice in his mind.
System! He really did get a system.
For someone who likes reading novels like himself, the so-called system is not a strange word.
But he didn't have time to think. A portal suddenly appeared right in front of him, and it immediately sucked hiss tiny body into it.
"Ahhhh…" He let out a scream as he felt his body move at an unimaginable speed.
He couldn't feel the air for some time until he saw a light pierce his closed eyes.
He wasn't breathing yet, but an extremely dense stream of air suddenly entered both of his nostrils.
In some places on earth, the air was said to be denser than in other places, but he was sure, that the flow of air entering his two nostrils at this time, they definitely could not be found on planet earth.
He felt so comfortable that he wanted to close his eyes forever. He was sure that his sleep would be very sound as long as the air in that place continued to flow into his nostrils.
But he couldn't do that because at the moment he felt a lot of vibrations around him, and he also heard many rumbling sounds like the sound of collapsing buildings.
He finally opened his eyes.
"Oh, my God." The words that never left his mouth finally left his mouth when he opened his eyes.
The sight he saw when he opened his eyes made him realize what it was called horror.
He saw hundreds, no, it must be thousands.
He saw thousands of enormous humans. They do not wear clothes to cover their bodies. Their faces looked ferocious like hungry beasts.
What took him by surprise was their size.
He estimated that each one of them was about ten meters tall. And there are some who are higher among them.
They are running. And it was the stomping of their feet while they were running, which caused the environment around him to vibrate.
"Zombie, Titan." Many words left his mouth when he saw them.
But for sure, right now he only wanted to run even though he knew that he would not be able to escape from them. At the very least, his fear would decrease as long as he could run even if it was only for a moment.
Ding.
"The Monster Emperor Gene are being transplanted into the host's body. The host's body is temporarily unable to move."
The robotic-like voice echoed once again in his mind.
He had only moved his body a little, and when he heard that voice, he found his body stiffened at that instant.
He suddenly couldn't move. His body fell back onto the ground where he lay.
And he could feel a tingling sensation in his body. It felt strange and hard to explain, but he felt that his body which was weak for his age was getting stronger little by little.
Luckily it didn't last long.
The sensation suddenly disappeared as a sound like the sound of a bell resounded in his mind.
The previous virtual screen appeared again in front of him. But there was a change in the information written on the virtual screen.
Ding.
(Name: Qin Tian)
(Race: Human)
(Gen: 4 / Infinite)
(Strength: 3 / 100)
(Spiritual Energy: 0 / 100)
(Agility: 6 / 100)
(Stamina: 2 / 100)
(Skill: None)
(Body: Monster Emperor Body
"Congratulations, you succeeded in converting your genes to the Monster Emperor genes. From now on you have the Monster Emperor Body. You can increase each of your attributes by using your gene attribute points. Each one of the gene attribute points can increase by one other attribute point. Currently you have 4 gene attribute points which are the first prize from the system. To increase your gene attribute points, you need to ingest the essence of the genes of monsters, zombies, demons, and other creatures other than humans."
The robot-like voice sounded again in his mind.
"Currently you are on a planet called the planet Eizentium. Ten years ago there was a catastrophic apocalypse on this planet. Most of the land on this planet has been occupied by zombies and monsters."
Ding.
"You received a new mission."
After that, another note appeared on the virtual screen.
(Diamond tier mission: Restore human's rule over the planet Eizentium.)
(Penalty for mission failure: you will lose your Monster Emperor's body.)
(Note: This mission is not valid at this time.)
(Reward: We will help you return to your home planet.)
"Get ready, there are more missions for you. Every mission you complete, you will receive a reward from the system. And if you fail to complete the mission given, you will receive a penalty."
"...." Qin Tian
There is too much information entering his head. He needed time to understand it. But he didn't have time to do it because now the zombies were getting closer and closer to him.
"Oh, even if you move me to another planet, why don't you move me to a safer place." Qin Tian cursed inwardly.
The zombies are moving too fast. They are like jumping when they step. In one step, they could cross a distance of up to twenty meters.
Who knows how strong the zombies are.
With his weak strength, even if there were zombies his size, he might not be able to fight them, not to mention zombies that big. He couldn't imagine what would happen if he was stepped on by their huge feet.
"The advice of the system; immediately use the genes you have to increase your attributes."
"Very well, use all those genes to increase my spiritual energy." Qin Tian replied.
Among his four attributes, only the spiritual energy attribute was empty. He wondered what it was. Is that really super energy like in a fantasy legend? He wondered.
"Order received. Increase the spiritual energy of the host. Four genes are equivalent to four spiritual energies."
What surprised Qin Tian was; he saw a simulation of a body appear on the virtual screen.
Judging from the simulated form of that body, it was clear that it was a simulation of his own body.
On the stomach of the body, he saw four golden dots rotating in a circle.
Surprisingly, he could feel something moving inside his stomach.
He then stared at his stomach with a curious expression. He felt something just forming in his stomach.
And when he looked at his simulated body one more time, he found that the four golden dots had merged into one. The result of the combination of the four golden dots then turned into a golden ball that emitted white light.
He thought that it was just light when he looked at the body simulation. However, when he felt something flow from his stomach through his body, he knew that it was not a light, but what was called spiritual energy.
Ding.
"Spiritual energy successfully increased!"
When Qin Tian looked at his stats one more time, he discovered some changes.
(Name: Qin Tian)
(Race: Human)
(Gen: 0 / Infinite)
(Strength: 3 / 100)
(Spiritual Energy: 4 / 100)
(Agility: 6 / 100)
(Stamina: 2 / 100)
(Skill: None)
(Body: Monster Emperor Body
His spiritual energy attribute points changed from 0 points to 4 points. And the gene attribute points which previously amounted to 4 points returned to 0 points.
Ding.
"You received a new mission."
(Silver tier mission: Escape the zombie hordes relying on your own abilities.)
(Penalty for mission failure: no penalty because the host is still at level 1.)
"..." Qin Tian
As he stared at the virtual screen, he suddenly realized that the mission given by the system was divided over several levels.
Iron, bronze, silver, gold, purple gold and lastly are diamond level missions. And there are also daily missions that don't have a certain level.
The fact that the mission given to him was a silver tier mission meant that the appearance of the mission depended on the situation around him.
The zombies he saw now were clearly so strong that the mission related to them was considered a silver tier mission.
Fortunately, as long as the mission was above his level, he wouldn't get any punishment.
But there's no point thinking about that now. Even if there was no punishment, the zombies still ran towards him. If he couldn't escape them, everything he just got would be useless.
"Oh plot armor. I only wish you came to help me." He could only say that as he tried to stand up.
After he stood up, he immediately ran the other way.
Qin Tian could feel a slight change in his body after he had spiritual energy in his body. Only, it didn't seem to help him much in running.
Even though he ran quite fast due to his small and thin body, he was still exhausted after running for a while.
He knew that it was due to his low stamina. Now he knew that spiritual energy couldn't help him overcome his stamina.
Knowing that, he couldn't help but regret using all of his gene attribute points for spiritual energy. He should have used them to increase his stamina attribute. In his current run, stamina was much more important.
When he looked back, he really wanted to cry. The zombies are too fast. They had gotten close to him a lot faster than he thought.
Ding.
"System advice: Flow your spiritual energy to your heart to increase your stamina." The sound of the system echoed in his mind.
"Oh, I see." Qin Tian finally understood after he heard the system's words.
Unlike what he had previously thought, spiritual energy clearly had many uses. He just didn't know their uses and how to use them.
He immediately followed the advice given by the system. He flowed his spiritual energy into his heart. It was very easy to do because ever since he had spiritual energy, he found that he could control them. He could send them anywhere in his body, and even get them out of his body if he wanted to.
As spiritual energy entered his heart, he felt his heart turn cold as if he had just breathed in the freshest air.
His body felt very comfortable, and he found the fatigue in his body disappearing in an instant.
With his increased stamina, he can run full of energy.
Apart from flowed spiritual energy to his heart, he is also flowed spiritual energy into his feet. He suddenly realized that spiritual energy could actually help improve his other attributes.
His running speed instantly increased as spiritual energy flowed into his feet.
But how could his small feet compare to the zombies' big feet.
He knew there was no point in running away. It is just a futile struggle carried out in the midst of despair. He was far too weak compared to the zombies.
When he saw the shadow of the giant foot around him, he quickly laid his body down. His body, however, is very small. He hoped he could hide between the gaps in the zombie's legs.
However, what confused him was; he discovered that the zombies actually looked like they had not noticed his presence.
Even though he was in front of them, none of them took a single glance at him. They just kept looking ahead.
Even the zombie who was about to step on his body looked like it didn't notice his presence even though he was under his feet. The zombie looks like it just happened to be passing him.
"Huh. Think safety first." He spoke in a low voice.
"Uaaa..." Right after he spoke, the zombie's legs already reached his back.
His body would have crushed to a pulp if he was trampled under the zombie's feet.
Luckily, as he expected, there was a gap between the zombie's leg and the ground. Even though he still had the pain in his back, the gap had at least saved him from being crushed completely.
"Be patient! I have to calm down. As long as the zombies don't pay attention to me, I can definitely survive." He said to himself.
The zombie's legs moved quickly. It immediately moved from above his body. But after that, there will be another zombie's feet stepping on his body.
Even though he was still safe, he finally passed out after his back received many hits from the soles of the feet of the zombies passing above him.
Tit.tit.
"The host is trampled by a horde of zombies, the mission is declared a failure, the mission is declared a failure."
"No reward."
"Because the hosts are below the level, the hosts do not get penalized."
"...."
....
Perhaps because of the spiritual energy in his body, Qin Tian could still feel a hint of consciousness while he was passing out.
After the zombie horde left, he faintly heard several people talking.
He couldn't clearly hear what they were saying, but after they spoke, he could feel his body being touched by several hands.
After which, he completely lost consciousness as his spiritual energy was completely depleted.
But he did not know if his spiritual energy was depleted by itself, or because of the touch of the hands.
When he regained consciousness, he heard a mechanical robotic sound around his ear.
[Name: Unknown.]
[Patient number: 896011]
[Age: 14 years according to CT Scan version 8399]
[The patient received three days of treatment in room no.03 of the Andromeda Hospital. Cost: 100 Andromeda dollars]
[The patient also uses a level 1 bone pill and a level 1 flesh pill to repair the damage to the patient's bones and flesh. Cost: 200 Andromeda dollars]
[The patient has no family, no savings. It is recorded that from today the patient owes the Andromeda Empire 300 dollars. Interest: 5% per month]
"...." Qin Tian
He was completely shocked when he heard the language spoken by the voice was exactly the same as the language on earth.
But hearing what the mechanical robotic voice said, he felt like he wanted to vomit blood out of anger.
"Shit." He cursed with a loud scream as he got up from where he lay.
But when he sat down and looked around, he immediately regretted doing that.
He found himself in a large white room. The place is full of hospital beds, and in each of them a person is lying down.
What took him by surprise was that the appearance of some of the people in that place actually looked similar to the appearance of the people on earth. He saw several people who looked like Asian people, Arabs, black people, and white people. And some more are appearances that do not exist on earth.
The circumstances of the people in the beds varied, but most of them were seriously injured.
Around the beds, there are dozens of robots carrying medical equipment.
Even though on earth there are already such robots, but most of the robots on earth are only prototypes. They lacked the ability to move like the robots he saw there.
"Patient no.896011, you have been declared healed of all your wounds. Please leave this room. Every minute you stay in this room after these words are finished, you will have to pay an additional fee of 1 dollar."
The previous voice was heard again. As he looked to the side, he found a small speaker beside the pillow he was lying on.
"..."
But he didn't care what was in there anymore. After hearing that he had to pay an additional fee, he immediately jumped out of bed and ran out of the room.
He was clearly in a hospital.
Exiting the white room, he appeared in a long hallway. On the right and left walls of the hallway, he saw many doors that were exactly the same as the door behind him.
Tit.tit.
"Please fill in your data."
He heard the sound of a mechanical robot once again.
As he stared at the source of the sound, he found a silver bracelet coiled around his left wrist.
As he stared at the bracelet, a rectangular virtual screen appeared directly above the bracelet.
{Andromeda Imperial Identity Card}
{ID No: 477289926}
{Status: Refugee}
{Name: Please enter your name}
When Qin Tian touched the name column, a virtual keyboard then appeared covering half of the virtual screen.
"Looks like I can only follow the rules of this new world." He said while shaking his head.
At least he can stay alive now. With the system helping him, he believes he has an infinite future.
He then wrote his name in the name column.
Tit.tit.
"Identity registered."
After that, the data on the virtual screen underwent a change.
{Andromeda Imperial Identity Card}
{ID No: 477289926}
{Status: Refugee}
{Name: Qin Tian}
{Bank Account Number: 0009477289926}
{Bank balance: 0}
{Note: You owe the Andromeda Empire 300 dollars, please pay your debt as soon as possible.}
"Warning: You are prohibited from removing the identity card bracelet in your hand. Without an identity card, you will be considered an illegal immigrant, and the Andromeda Imperial Police have the right to arrest you for investigation."
