December 21, 2018, 11:26 pm.
Winter had struck, and had covered the
ground in snow.
At this time, Shuhang was walking down the street with plastic bags full of snacks, and drinks from the nearby convenience store.
" Hey, young man " A gruff voice called out to him.
Shuhang turned his head, and saw an old man he didn't see before.
The old man had a dirty shirt, a jacket with rips, shoes with holes the size of his thumb, and an aura that screamed homeless.
" Yeah? " Shuhang felt slightly uncomfortable, something about the man alerted his senses.
The gruff face of the old man turned into a toothy smile, and his eyes shined with a bit of mischief.
" If you were granted three wishes, what would you wish for? "
Shuhang was slightly confused by such a strange question, but answered truthully anyways.
" My first wish would be for a sacred gear with the abilities of the boosted gear, and divine dividing, secondly, the understanding of
cultivation, and lastly, zenkai-boost "
Shuhang listed his three wishes to the old man, who seemed to be deep in thought.
A few seconds past, and the old man slightly chuckled, sending chills to Shuhang.
" Well, that'll be thirty dollars "
The old man held his hand in the air, waiting for his payment.
Shuhang raised his eyebrows at the old man, but gave him the amount anyways. Thirty dollars may have been alot for the average person, but not even a thousand was considered pocket change for him.
The only reason he walked to the convenience store wasn't because he didn't have a car, but because it was quicker and safer to walk there!
' This is the last time I walk alone at night, in Boston ' He sighed, and walked away from the old man.
Not even a meter away from the man, his surroundings began to twist and churn lazily. Shuhang gripped his head, and turned back to the old man..... only they had disappeared.
' T-that old man.... ' Shuhang's vision had turned blurry, and his eyelids felt heavy.
" N-no " He tried to stay conscious, but it was for not, as he had succumbed to the strange effects.
....
.....
....
Shuhang woke up with a start, and looked around hastily, before realising it wasn't his room.
" Wh-where am I? " Shuhang clutched his head, and foreign information was layed down in his mind.
His eyes widened in the revelation, and he jumped out of the bunk bed with a heavy thump.
Grabbing his phone, he turned it on and entered facecam on his camera.....
His familiar face wasn't on the screen, and instead it was the face of the protagonist in the novel; cultivation chat group.
" I... really am in the cultivation chat group novel, and my wishes were granted... "
Shuhang fell on his butt at the revelation, and his mind raced with excitement.
All of it halted however, as memories of the previous Shuhang entered his mind. He didn't feel the memories muddling with his mind, it instead felt like he actually lived and experienced the original Shuhang's life.
When the memories finally came up to this moment, the instructions for the use of his abilities were inserted I'm his mind.
' Today is March the 23rd, meaning I have two months until I get invited to the chat group. That means I have the time to become stronger, and start my cultivation early '
He reasoned out in his mind, before investigating his three new abilities.

Several Minutes Have Past
_______________________________________
Through all of Shuhang's testing, he had understood his abilities, and developed a workout routine for himself.
His 'sacred gear' had turned into golden bracelets on both his arms with designs had the colour of
royal-purple. They had the generic power to double his power, and halving the opponents and adding it to his own every ten seconds.
Along with those,
it naturally gathers and purifies the surrounding qi and uses it to nurture him,
it increases his recovery speed depending on the amount of energy/food his body has,
stops his body from declining in strength from lack of activity,
and conceals his cultivation and any special physique.
Another good thing was that it was gonna make his body better than anyone else's after activation, he wasn't gonna gain any dragon weaknesses, and he could double things other than his own power.
His second ability; the understanding of cultivation, wasn't what he thought of it as.
It only allowed him to understand the percentage of perfection,
how to reach said perfection, and how important it was.
Apparently, his body was only at three percent, and it was gonna change when he fully activated his sacred gear.
His last ability was zenkai-boost, it was the only thing that was right on.
" Welp, I better start "
Shuhang sighed and prepared for the pain that usually came from altering your body.
" I, who is about to awaken "
His heart started to beat irregularly.
" Am the being who embodies the very principles of domination and supremacy "
Pain erupted from his very being, but he continued on with a steady and calm attitude.
" I laugh at the 'infinite' and I shall not be limited by the 'dream' "
The pain increased, and the world seemed to have lost it's colour.
But he still continued on.
" I shall finally awaken, for I am the Black Dragon God of Domination and Supremacy "
The pain was almost unbearable, and the world seemed to flicker from existence and nonexistence.
Shuhang bit his tongue, and continued on with the final verse.
" And I shall not be bound! "
Thunder, was the sound he heard, before his mind collapsed from the pain.

Hours Have Past

" Ugh " Shuhang groaned out, as he slowly opened his eyes, he grabbed his phone and stood up.
Standing up, he felt slightly lightheaded, but it slowly resided and he was able to clearly identify what had happened on his phone.
His hair dark-brown hair was now completely black,
his light-brown had been replaced by royal-purple, and he noticed his body being much more defined and filled out along with his face which seemed way more handsome.
" I could easily become a model with my looks "
He shamelessly complimented himself, but still spoke the truth.
' Maybe I should test my strength at the gym ' He thought it over, and decided to go in the end.
He first grabbed his jacket and wore it outside, before heading off to the gym. The university had a gym, but he didn't really want to attract too much attention that quickly.
______________________
When he entered the gym, he didn't gain much attention from the people,
and he was kinda glad.
The one's who noticed him where some guys that had been taking a break, but they sighed in jealousy before walking off to the break room.
Shuhang scanned the gym, and went over to the weight-lifting area.
He started with the five kilograms, and continued on with the heavier weights. When he lifted the thirty kilogram weight, he became impatient and decided to lift the heaviest one. He lifted three-hundred kilogram weight a little, and put it back down.
' If it took that much strength to lift a three-hundred kilogram bar, than my limit should be five-hundred kilograms..... '
Shuhang was glad for his strong physique, but he had to alter his training routine slightly.
' Well, I guess I should buy the materials I need for my training '
Shuhang wasn't troubled by what he had to buy, the amount of currency he had with him was more than enough for the simple things he was gonna buy.
