"Holy cow, this is incredible!" Li Chen laughed, unable to stop grinning.
"A world of cultivation and magic! With game mechanics! It's like my entire bookshelf of fantasy novels just exploded into reality!"
He rushed to the window.
Far in the skies, cultivators soared on gleaming swords, their robes fluttering like banners.
Massive magical beasts prowled the distant peaks, roaring loud enough to shake the clouds.
In someone courtyards , disciples clashed in martial drills.
While vendors in the marketplace hawked glowing potions, enchanted blades, and amulets that shimmered with protective wards.
In this world, people without spiritual roots weren't entirely doomed.
They could walk one of three paths:
Become a Magic Knight, Adventurer, if fortune allowed , awaken and become a Cultivator, ascending beyond mortal limits.
The original Li Chen, born without a spiritual root, had chosen the Adventurer path.
It was the most accessible and the most underestimated, often dismissed as a profession for mercenaries and monster-hunters.
The Li clan looked down on him for it, and the jeers had been relentless.
Only his mother and a handful people's had ever shown him real support.
Jack, now in Li Chen's body, looked into the bronze mirror.
The face staring back was annoyingly handsome,sharp black eyes, a strong jaw, and dark, messy hair.
It was the only good thing the old Li Chen had, and he wasted it.
"Handsome or not, they think I'm just some useless young master swinging a sword for coin," Jack said with a grin.
"I'll show them what a real Adventurer is."
When Li Chen saw his status panel, he got so excited he could barely breathe.
But as his eyes scanned through his skills, magic, and stats, something caught his attention.
There were changes, things that weren't there in old Li Chen memories. New details had been added.
His personality section was different now, and the note at the bottom… that was completely new.
He read it carefully, and his brows furrowed.
"What the hell? Unusual sexual fantasies? I don't even have weird kinks!" he muttered.
"What kind of messed-up system is this?"
He stood there for a while, thinking it over, but in the end, he dismissed the panel with a sigh.
There was no point in wasting time worrying. He was in this new world now, and he had no intention of spending it sulking or overthinking.
This was a place full of adventure, beauty, and opportunities.
He decided then and there he would travel across the Great Land, fight, grow stronger, and gather a harem of unique, beautiful women just like he'd always dreamed.
He would live life to the fullest, exploring the world, choosing his battles, leveling up, and savoring every single moment.
Li Chen decided to try using magic. His magic was only at the elementary rank, but he was curious.
He raised his hand and focused. He felt his mana flowing through his body, gathering toward his palm.
The sensation was like blood rushing to one point.
Whoosh*
A moment later, a small flame appeared in his hand, growing until it was the size of a baseball.
Seeing the ball of fire floating above his palm, Li Chen's excitement soared.
He looked around, wondering where he should throw it.
But then he realized that anything it hit would burn, so he chose to cancel it instead.
The flame vanished.
He thought about it. Right now, his magic was still elementary rank.
To make it stronger, he'd have to increase his level.
His status showed Rank 1, Stage 5. Each rank had 10 stages. Reaching the tenth stage would advance him to the next rank, giving him five bonus attribute points to distribute as he wished.
Ranking up also let him enhance an existing skill or magic, or even gain a new one.
But then his eyes flicked back to the strange note on his panel, the one explaining that new skills or magic could also be gained, or improved faster, through fulfilling his unusual sexual fantasies and reaching orgasm.
Li Chen frowned. "Yeah, no. That's not happening."
He remembered the web novel he had read before he died. The emperor's wife was a futa, and the main character accepted it like it was nothing unusual.
Li Chen didn't want that kind of life. His desires were his own, maybe strange to some, but clear to him.
He thought about threesomes with two stunning women, their bodies tangled with his, or orgy nights with beautiful woman.
That was what excited him.
Then an image suddenly appeared in his mind, as if it came from the hidden desires of the previous Li Chen.
He was lying on soft, cool sheets, surrounded by his harem of beautiful women.
Among them was one woman who beautiful and alluring, she smiled at him with a teasing look that said more than words ever could.
She leaned in close and whispered, "When you're too tired to please your women, I'll take care of them for you."
She promised to make sure each of them was satisfied as she pulled one of the most beautiful harem women beneath her, her body pressing down to pin her in place.
Between her thick, plum thighs hung a member that was impressively long and thick, pressed against the woman below.
A rush of heat spread through Li Chen's body. His breath caught and his heart beat faster. Desire flickered inside him.
He shook his head hard and said to himself,
"Why am I getting so worked up over this?"
He told himself it was just a leftover desire from the previous owner's body, a memory that did not belong to him.
But no matter how much he tried, the warmth inside him stayed.
He remembered that yesterday or well, the previous Li Chen had promised to go on an adventure with two beautiful women.
He decided he wasn't going to let weird thoughts ruin his day.
After a quick bath to wash off the stress, he slung his sword over his shoulder and stepped out the door.
With a grin, he headed toward the meeting spot, ready for whatever this adventure had in store.
