“Drip, drip…”
A young man lay in the middle of the road, covered in blood, seemingly on the verge of death.
People around him quickly pulled out their phones and dialed for emergency services.
“Young man, hold on, the ambulance is almost here.”
“Everyone around, please help!”
The surrounding clamor woke up the unconscious young man, who was our protagonist, Host.
Host used his last ounce of strength to ask the elderly person beside him:
“Grandpa, is that little girl alright?”
The person Host was asking about was none other than the child he had protected with his life.
The grandpa quickly said, “She’s fine, she’s fine, thanks to you.
Young man, don’t talk, the ambulance will be here soon.”
“She’s fine, that’s good, that’s good.”
When Host heard that, it was as if the last huge stone weighing on his heart had finally fallen.
Recalling his life, Host had no regrets.
Host grew up in an orphanage, went out to work after becoming an adult, and then funded the orphanage.
His only regret was not having a girlfriend, but that was fine too, this way he wouldn’t hold anyone back.
And my Old Master Zhongli hasn’t reached full stars yet.
Feeling his life force slowly draining away.
Host felt pain all over his body, but he couldn’t move.
“Confirmation complete, successfully acquired Pain Nullification!”
Host was already numb from the pain.
“Confirmation complete, successfully acquired Paralysis Resistance!”
“If I could do it all over again, I would definitely grind my Old Master Zhongli to full stars.”
“Confirmation complete, searching for character Old Master Zhongli.
Ding, search successful.
‘Genshin Impact’ game character, Rock King Emperor Morax, Zhongli.”
“Confirmation complete, successfully acquired Rock Element Control!”
“Confirmation complete, successfully acquired Immortal Arts Control!”
“Confirmation complete, successfully acquired All Weapon Mastery!”
“Confirmation complete, successfully acquired Weapon Master!”
“Confirmation complete, successfully acquired Skyfall!”
“Confirmation complete, successfully acquired Earth Core!”
“Confirmation complete, successfully acquired innate skill, Martial Refiner!”
“Confirmation complete, successfully acquired innate skill, Contractor!”
Hearing this voice, Host felt confused, but he couldn’t be bothered.
He was about to die, what was the point of caring about this?
“I really hope I can go to a game world!”
“Searching for keyword, ‘game’, successfully acquired unique skill Gamer.”
“The weather is clearly so hot, but why do I feel so cold?”
“Confirmation complete, successfully acquired Heat Resistance!”
“Confirmation complete, successfully acquired Cold Resistance!”
“What is this sound?
I’m about to die, can’t a person have some peace and quiet for a while?”
“Confirmation complete, successfully acquired innate skill Rationalist!”
“Forget it, forget it, whatever happens, happens.”
Host stopped overthinking and quietly waited for his death.
After an unknown amount of time, Host slowly opened his eyes.
What met his gaze was a pitch-black darkness where he couldn’t see his Five Fingers.
“Who am I?
Where am I?”
Host muttered groggily.
“I remember now, my name is Host.
It seems I was hit by a car and died while saving a little girl.”
Host finally recalled the cause and effect.
“That’s not right, didn’t I die?!” Why do I still have consciousness?
Host felt confused.
Looking at the pitch-black surroundings, Host couldn’t help but feel a chill.
“Could this be the underworld?”
Host was about to move when he realized something was wrong with his body.
Host looked down and saw two small, dark claws; they were definitely not hands.
“What’s going on?
What have I turned into?”
Even with Host’s strong psychological fortitude, he couldn’t help but feel a bit overwhelmed.
“No, I shouldn’t be dead.
I should have transmigrated.”
Host finally reacted.
“This transmigration is most likely related to that voice I heard right before I died.”
Host analyzed carefully.
After analyzing for a long time, Host could only give up in frustration.
There was no way, the clues were too few; he couldn’t figure out which world he had transmigrated to at all.
“Forget it, I’ll take it one step at a time.”
Host saw a glowing spot.
Upon closer inspection, it was a crystal.
Rather than a crystal, it was a crystallization formed by a type of energy.
Host came before the shimmering crystal, and the crystal reflected Host’s appearance.
What met his eyes was a dark golden young True Dragon.
Its appearance was not that of a Western dragon, but rather an Eastern young True Dragon with the characteristics of nine creatures: rabbit eyes, deer antlers, ox ears, camel head, clam belly, tiger paws, snake neck, fish scales, and eagle claws, perfectly combining and fully displaying both domineering and noble temperaments.
Looking at his new appearance, Host was instantly dumbfounded.
“I turned into a True Dragon!”
Host was stunned for a moment, then ecstatic.
“That’s so damn cool!”
Just then, Host’s stomach rumbled.
Host rubbed his stomach, no longer able to feel happy.
While rubbing his stomach, he said:
“I’m hungry, what should I do?”
Host looked at the crystal in front of him and couldn’t help but feel an urge to eat it.
“I’m a True Dragon now, not a human.
I should be able to eat it, right?”
Host didn’t say much more; he immediately ran to the crystal and began to gnaw.
Touching the crystal, Host opened his mouth wide and swallowed it.
“Confirmed that Host has Magic Ore in his body.
Decompose?”
A mechanical voice sounded in Host’s mind.
“What the heck, what was that sound?”
Host was clearly startled.
Host recalled the previous sentence and cautiously said, “Decompose.”
Immediately, the Magic Ore within Host’s body was decomposed into a large amount of magicules, flowing throughout Host’s entire body.
“Note: Magic Ore, ordinary mineral stone that has absorbed a large amount of magicules and formed a product due to long-term exposure to areas with high magicules, a very valuable mineral.”
Host immediately felt less hungry.
“Magic Ore, magicules, pitch-black cave.”
As Host, who had watched countless anime and novels, the information he extracted from that sentence seemed to give him some clues, but he still couldn’t be certain.
“Forget it, I’ll eat first.
If it really is that world, my current strength isn’t even enough to fill a tooth gap!”
Host said somewhat seriously.
Host looked at the surrounding Magic Ore, his eyes suddenly lit up as he rushed over.
“Ding!
Unique skill Gamer activated.”
Just as Host was halfway through eating, a panel suddenly appeared before his eyes.
Character: Host, Race: Elemental True Dragon (not True Dragon)
Level: C+
Unique Skill: Gamer
Innate Skills: Martial Refiner, Contractor, Rationalist
Skills: Rock Element Control, Immortal Arts Control, All Weapon Mastery, Weapon Master, Skyfall, Earth Core
Passive Skills: Pain Nullification, Paralysis Resistance, Heat Resistance, Cold Resistance
Looking at this template, Host couldn’t help but feel a sense of familiarity.
“What the heck, aren’t these Old Master Zhongli’s skills?!”
Host was instantly dumbfounded.
“What’s going on?
Did I turn into Old Master Zhongli?
Forget it, I don’t care.
And if that’s the case, even in that world, Host is confident he can secure a place.”
Host thought about it with his small brain, and when he got no results, he stopped thinking and then said confidently.
He didn’t know where this confidence came from.
From the beginning, Host had been guessing which world he had transmigrated to.
When he saw many clues, he could finally confirm that this world should be Rimuru’s world.
