In a magical world, one day you wake up to find the world completely changed!
When I went to sleep last night, I never thought that I would transmigrate into another body. Inside a two-story house, a boy around 11 years old stared at the air with an excited but also somewhat frustrated expression.
"Damn it, I don't know if I am lucky or unlucky."
Li Yun had been transmigrated into this world of Versatile Mage about half a year ago. Just like some tragic reincarnator, his parents are dead, but one good thing was that he had three older brothers and two cousins who cared about him. However, they work in Shanghai as Hunter Mages.
Their strength is excellent; my oldest brother and my two cousins are High-level 3 Mages, while the rest of them are at least High-level 1 in two elements.
After I transmigrated, I didn't see them even once. While they earn money, I live with Grandma Zhang, who was saved and then hired by my brother for my care in Bo City.
As I was thinking that I could safely grow under my brothers' protection, two months ago, news from the Hunter Union came that my brothers went missing on a hunter mission. Even though their deaths were not confirmed, after two months, today something unexpected happened and I got a confirmation—not from the Hunter Union, but...
[Host, it is confirmed by the System that your older brothers and cousins are dead. They were killed by a Monarch-level beast in Dongting Lake. Host, after the awakening of the System, you have a Beginner Gift Pack; you can check it in the System Space.] A cold and mechanical voice rang in my head.
//Flashback//
Just like in the past few months, today I woke up early, and after finishing my daily tasks, I had a good but quiet breakfast with Grandma Zhang. After seeing that I was not speaking much, just like in the past few months, Grandma Zhang said, "Xiao Yun, don't worry. I am sure your brothers will be fine; they are powerful magicians."
"Don't worry, Grandma Zhang, I know they will be fine," I replied with a small smile, but I knew in my heart that those brothers of mine whom I never saw before were likely...
"It's good that you are fine. Now, you stay at home; I need to go to my work, and I'll be back by evening," Grandma Zhang said while cleaning the table. After that, she left for work.
Even though she is not a Mage, even she knows that my brothers are likely dead. For this reason, she started to work for our daily expenses. It's not that we don't have money; my brothers were very nice to me and they saved millions for me so that I could use them when I Awaken my magic. Grandma Zhang doesn't want to use it and wants me to keep it for my future.
Hearing her reason, I didn't know whether I should laugh or cry; my brothers left almost 50 million in the account. So, even if I just use around 500 thousand, it will be enough until my Magic Awakening. In the end, I still didn't say anything and let her do as she wishes.
Once I went back to my room, I sat cross-legged on my bed and closed my eyes. Even though I hadn't awakened my magic yet, I still started to practice early. In many fanfics, writers write like meditation is something that is very easy for a reincarnated person, but it's not that easy. After all, who practices meditation in modern life all day like their life depends on it?
I don't want to waste my time after I awaken my magic by spending time learning how to concentrate and meditate. Just as I was meditating and trying to concentrate, suddenly I entered a strange space. I was stunned because, according to the books I read, it seems like I am inside my own Spiritual Sea.
As I was thinking about it, a sudden flash appeared in front of me. A red cluster started to form, then another two flashes appeared, and my head started to hurt like hell. Before I knew what was happening, I passed out. I woke up after two hours.
"Shit, what the hell happened?" I thought while rubbing my head, which was still throbbing in pain, though it wasn't so intense that I would faint.
Thinking about it, I once again tried to look inside my Spiritual Sea and I succeeded, but what I saw was not normal. Even though my Spiritual Sea contains not one, but three different Stardusts, I can't feel any of them. It's like they are sealed by something.
"What's happening? I awakened three elements, but all of them are sealed," I thought. Just as I was getting impatient, a ringing sound rang in my mind with a screen popping out in front of me.

Once I saw my status screen and learned that my Stardusts were really sealed, I didn't even care about my innate talent. Immediately, I asked about my doubts, even though I didn't know if I would get answers.
"Hey, System, can you tell me why my Stardusts are sealed and also what kind of System you are?" Well, I was reborn 6 months ago, but the System suddenly appeared at this time. It must be related to my Magic Awakening, but I still can't understand why all my magic systems are sealed.
[Host, your magic systems are sealed for your own safety. At present, your Spiritual Sea cannot bear the pressure from your magic systems. It will take about two years for your Spiritual Sea to fully mature and become capable of holding magic Stardusts.]
[As for your second question, the System is called the '10x Reward System.' Anything that the Host gains, as long as those resources meet System regulations, will be multiplied by 10. System regulations can be checked on the Status Screen. The second function is that the Host can check background knowledge about things related to the Host's current situation that might not be stated in the original storyline.]
"Damn it, doesn't that mean my next two years are going to be completely wasted? At present, I am 11 years old. In the past 6 months, I have already gotten to know Mo Fan and the others, and they are all about 11 years old. The main story will start in about 4 years."
During these past 6 months, since I didn't know about the System, I decided to befriend the main group. There is danger around them, true, but there are also opportunities.
I swear I didn't do it because of Xinxia! Well, maybe.
Currently, I am very good friends with Mo Fan and Zhang Xiaohou. Xinxia, on the other hand, is a bit shy around me. As for Mu Ningxue, I only saw her a few times and only had two conversations with her at the Mu Family Villa.
Thinking about my current state, I suddenly remembered that Mu Ningxue also awakened her magic around the age of 13 or 14. Thinking about it is useless for now, so I went back to my own problems and asked my System.
"System, is there any way to solve my problem and unseal my magic systems, like increasing my mental strength or something?"
[Host, increasing mental strength will not work. Mental strength and the Spiritual Sea are different. There are some herbs and other treasures that can help, but they are extremely rare even in Black Forbidden Zones. So, the best way for the Host is to wait for 2 years before you unseal your Stardusts.]
"Well, I can't do anything about that." While thinking, I suddenly thought about the second function of the System and asked,
"System, tell me about my brothers' situation."
//Flashback End//
After knowing what happened to my brothers, myself, and Grandma Zhang in the original novel, I find it really tragic. First of all, my brothers are dead. Then, Grandma Zhang and I survive for almost one and a half years after that, but during a visit to the market, both of us encounter a Gaunt eye Rat. She tried to protect me but met her end, and after that, I faced mine.
Since the whole family died in the original novel way before the main story started, there was no mention of them. Otherwise, with my brothers being High-level Mages, they wouldn't be unknown. This is also why, in the past six months, I was able to go to the Mu Family Villa and talk to Mu Ningxue and her father had no objection to it.
"Well, now I must think about the future since my brothers are gone." I decided to open the gift pack in System Storage and see if there was anything useful.
"System, open Beginner Gift Pack," I said while waiting.
[Ding! Congratulations Host, for getting the following items:]
Divine Grade Soul Vessel: A high-quality soul vessel that can store even Emperor-grade soul essences. It can fuse Remnant Souls into Soul Essences at a ratio of 25:1.
3 Sacred Stardust Magic Tools: Can double the cultivation of Stardust while extending meditation and cultivation time by 80%.
7 Pieces of Mind Stone: Half-thumb-sized stones that can increase mental strength.
2 Super Level Subordinate Cards: Can create two Super-level Mages with random cultivation who are loyal to the Host. A Super-level card can be split into 10 to create 10 High-level Mages, but once done, it cannot be undone. The Mages created are not soulless puppets; they have their own thoughts, but their loyalties remain with the Host. The Host can summon Mages randomly or choose a specific person on whom their personality and memories will be based (Note: The person of your choice must be either dead or non-existent in this world).
1 Random Lottery: A chance to pull a random item from the System Lottery [System gives 1 chance every 6 months].
"The 4th one is a bit... well, it can at least solve my problems, but I need to confirm one thing."
"System..."
