Before Edward could spread his seed in tissue, his body fell onto the floor and darkness swallowed his vision.
Under the scorching sun, in the middle of the courtyard of House Argrave, a mere baron on the western wasteland.
The dry mud had hardened like stone. The air shimmered with heat, dust rising with each brittle gust of wind.
A frail boy lay supine, motionless. His limbs were spread across the cracked earth.
His chest barely moved. But then his eyes twitched.
With a sudden gasp, the lifeless body came alive.
"Aghh!"
"Aghh—!"
Edward jerked upward, squinting at the sun that bore down on him like a merciless god.
"What the hell?! Why is the sun trying to kill me?!" he yelled, covering his eyes with a shaky hand.
It felt like he was trapped in some bad fever dream.
Right after that, a loud DING rang in his ears, like some twisted monk chant from a toxic temple.
[SYSTEM BOOTING... USER SOUL SYNC COMPLETE.]
Host Body Identified: Edward Hunt / Lucien Argrave
Age: 14 years, 10 months
Status: Malnourished / Noble Trash / Virgin
"Damn, even the system's roasting me in this dream? Virgin, really?"
"I needed to awake up from this Deep fever dream."
Thinking that he clenched his fists, and made a punch on his own face, half expecting to wake up from this dream. But he didn't. Instead, a new sensation appeared."
"Pain... pain when you feel every muscle in your face to scream."
"Awooaww." Heart-clenching pain rushed through his mind.
"Fuck, that hurt."
So I really died. The thought dropped in with disbelief.
Damn, if those bastards saw me die like that, they wouldn't cry. They'd laugh their asses off. I can't even imagine how my parents would react.
If I don't transmigrate and actually fall into a coma... Oh my goodness!
Being a college student, he felt like he had already lost everything and was unlucky. Living with his classmate in a three-flat apartment beside the university, now dying was just another level of bad luck. Anyone who saw his situation could say he was just plain unlucky.
But before he could think any more, another voice rang in his mind, and a new notification appeared in front of his eyes.
[System Initialization... God-Emperor System]
"Eh... System. Is my golden finger arriving already? This soon?"
[Looking at host preference system making adjustment, System is slightly deviated from its original path---]
[Congratulation host for Awakening Milf Emperor System]
[Intializing searching host question]
[Host is indeed a transmigrant]
"Really?"
[System confirms positive.]
[Sigh! Finally, I can die in peace.]
But the system's next words snapped him out of his daze.
[To prove host loyalty, system will assign a mission.]
Huh? No golden finger, no transmigration boost, no day-one login reward—just an immediate mission? He thought, unlucky as always.
[System needs to make sure host won't pull any funny business when it need to influence the world.]
"That doesn't sound good... feels more like system slavery," Edward muttered.
[System will fulfill every host wish.]
"Is that so? Then I guess it's reasonable."
Excited, he told the system to open the mission list.
[System Mission:
(Prove loyalty and capability)
||-Host must fuck a mature woman within 5 hours.-||
- ->Failure: Death.]
"Wait, what?! MILF? What kind of hentai-ass system is this?!" He asked, feeling a little uncomfortable. Sure, he was bad, but he didn't want to be that desperate to get laid.
Before he could ask more, another notification popped up in front of his eyes.
[As a reward after transmigration, host will receive memory body transformation within 3... 2...]
"At least I still got something after transmigration."
[Initiating memory transplant.]
Immediately large amount of memory instantly became active on his mind and from Lucien every thought to memory is shown by system step by step to him. As if he lived the whole life of Lucien.
Lucien was first born of Baron Argrave, Argraves family fief is a massively uncultivated land stretching to the unknown Demon Velly, located on the East of the Bryne kingdom.
From weeds to small grass nothing are cultivable in this land. But exception exist, even in this barren land there are some land formed like oasis where plants are able to grow and entire ecosystem could thrive, But those lands were small in number, like when he was five years old there are only two such known lands in the barons territory.
But such lands were infested by chaos spawns. As the Demon Velly is near the barons land so its easy to be infested by the chaos creature mainly called Monsters. This monsters were good at finding such land and often migrate from far away unknown Demon Velly.
The few subjects of Baron that existed clung to the life like flies on such land lived by rotting bread and dead mouses.
Every day was a fight to stay alive.
But occasionally, adventurers and mercenaries came to the baron's land, hunting monsters and selling their unwanted parts. These scraps weren't worth much to the outsiders, but for the people here, they were food and hope.
Although that only for town people, people in village are having much worse. Eating once in a week sometime became luxury to them if not for the constant supply of slime soup once in a weak these villages would long likely disappeared or became the legendary haunted village from the north.
Thankfully, one or two villages still cling to life in this wasteland. When novice adventurers awaken their talents, they flock here to hunt beasts, Heino Wolves in the rocky hills, or small slimes in the scattered oases, were the main food for these villagers.
Those small loot were enough for the baron to run its land with heavy tax on them. Baron even sold the slime soup to the villager after taxing those newly awakens. Creating a constant flow of income for the household.
Although most of those meat aren't edible but if you dry those meat in the Wilderness Sun it became little edible for humans.
Such meat is speciality of the Western side of Bryne Kingdom. and treated as Delicacy for the towns people.
Other than heavy taxed on the hunt of awakens, Most of the edible parts were sold on town that's why even in such dire situation baron and his reign is strong as pillar as most of the influential people in here are in barons pocket.
Although these meats aren't fetch much price to other place only forsaken places like Baron Argrave have high price for them.
But it also provide these adventure deals of Win-Win like they could took the main things of hunted monster like teeth bones or even the pallet but also don't have to forsake the enormous loot meat of such big monster.
To Simplifying thing every scrap of money is important for beginner adventurers or mercenary's. That's why they cant miss such chance to sell these thing, specially in this highly taxed area.
Because of these beginner adventurers some fallen merchant clan and beginners traders also lived on the town of Argrave, from them barons land could atleast generate enough tax's all around the years that they didn't even needed to thing about money for more than 4 generation's.
But still buying the meat required money and locals most of the time don't have it and now some of the oasis are drying in Alarming rate causing the fat Baron Argrave sweating like pig.
Which also why adventurers are becoming less and less and along with its own territory Baron Argrave family also start to decline, and having huge shortage of food and water.
Edward sifted through the memories and found something else: Lucien's mother died when he was seven. To hide his loneliness and for a political reason his father married the baroness of a neighbouring land.
That marriage doubled the baron's territory and income. The baroness brought the fortune from her late husband, patching up years of bad decisions and keeping House Argrave stable for another year or two. Now Lucien had a new mother and two stepsisters.
But some pieces were missing. "What are those gaps?" he muttered, staring at the cracked earth. Why would parts of Lucien own life be erased?
"What are those missing memory's?" He questioned looking at the dry land.
Why would his memory be gone?
