NEW WORLD

Dark skies, no visible clouds, and countless Stars.

A thick forest compounded by huge trees that were beyond description. The place should be quiet but that wish was thrown off the rooftop by the sounds of crickets and other nightlife.

In this forest that seems to be void of humanity, in the middle of a certain lake. A boy slowly sat up while gritting his teeth from the pain spreading all through his body.

He looked around him with a perplexed expression, seemingly trying to understand what happened to him. He stared at the water and was baffled by his reflection; he looked so.... different.

Short blonde hair, blue eyes, a small nose, and thin lips, an almost round face. He looked so feminine.

If it had been a picture, Max would have sworn that his new appearance belonged to a girl. He raised his hand to touch his face when he suddenly felt a sharp pain from his elbow, he looked down only to find a cut on his elbow, it wasn't wide but certainly deep, it probably should be called a stab instead.

"Why do I suddenly feel pain??" Max was puzzled. He tried to remember what happened that might have brought him here, all he could remember was trying a spirit-grade herb to help him transcend to immortality, then after which his core erupted and...

"F*ck!! I died" Max cursed out loud when he remembered how he died trying to break the last phase of cultivation.

"Then why am I still alive? Did I reincarnate? That might probably be the most logical explanation for how I got here"

Max was trying to remember More when he was suddenly assaulted by a mind-shattering pain in his head and his vision started to turn black before he passed out.

After what seemed like some hours, Max finally regained consciousness. He sat up in the lake which he still hadn't left before passing out earlier, his expression was inexplicable. He was conflicted, confused, and amazed at the same time. Although he was very unwilling to accept the fact that he had died just like that, the feeling of reincarnation quickly overshadowed his unwillingness.

"Earth huh? So I reincarnated into earth. No wonder I feel so weak. People here don't cultivate, they focus more on science. I don't even know how to feel about it. It's almost like i'm starting from scratch only that I'm already the strongest here. After all, I am the only one with knowledge of cultivation here" Max muttered to himself.

"Even if I don't mean to, I just can't help thinking about it. And from the memory I got, the previous owner of this body is just a teenager in high school. Just imagine living like a big boss amidst weaklings, a good definition of a wolf in sheep's clothing but I'm not evil though.

Hmm. Since time here is the same as my home planet" Max said as he gazed at the sky" I think it's already the third hour now(3:00 am), but what was this weak boy doing out here at this time? A suicide expedition?"

Max dived into the memories of his new body's previous owner and according to what he could get, this kid's name is Alex. He's a child of a relatively rich family.

His dad is a CEO of a huge business empire while his mom is a medical advisor of a large hospital. Alex is the only child for now since his mom is pregnant. Alex is currently sixteen years old and he's kind of intelligent, maybe average should be a better way to describe him.

He has so many junior and senior girls crushing on him at school since he was rich and handsome. Although he didn't show off, almost all the boys hated him and this often earned him sessions of bullying since he couldn't fight To put it simply, Alex was a piece of meat in a lion's cage.

A few days ago, Alex's school organized a school trip to the wild. After setting camp, Alex was dragged off by the girls so they could explore together.

Alex was a shy type and also an introvert so after getting all red from being teased by the girls, he finally managed to escape. He walked casually inside the forest so he could cool off a bit but he encountered a king cobra which made the scared cat climb a tree only to fall to his death in this very lake because the snake followed him up the tree.

"...."

Max was speechless "Was this Alex a fool or something? Why would he climb a tree when being chased by a snake?" Max facepalmed " My reputation here has already faced a huge breakdown before I could even start" Max was baffled by Alex's stupidity. Well, there was nothing he could do now other than to build a new reputation for himself here. There was no use crying over spilled milk and he would also need to get used to being called Alex.

"Seriously? I don't want to change my name but it's not like I can tell anyone that i'm a transmigrant from another universe, right?"

Max stood up and observed himself "At least I get a good look as a bonus in exchange. I look eighteen when I'm only sixteen but I shouldn't think much of it. I am already over a thousand years old in my old world anyways".

Max looked at his soaked uniform of a silver-colored top with a black tie and black pants, white socks, and a black shoe. It should have been a good-looking set but was currently looking miserable.

"Well it's understandable since I have been in that lake for good two days plus all the falling from earlier" Max walked out of the lake and tried to dry himself (by using his almost dried shirt since he has been sitting for a while now).

While drying himself. He realized that his wounds were healing "Wow! So I can still use my Powers here?" Max was ecstatic. Come to think of it, he didn't try it out after waking up; this was a really pleasant surprise to him.

He then tried to view his surrounding with 'divine eyes'. It was still quite dark so visibility was low. Max activated the skill again but everything was still dark...meaning the skill failed to work.

Chapter 2: system zero

(A/N: I will be using Alex from now on instead of max to avoid confusion that might arise later (◠‿◕))

"What's this? Why can't I activate my skill? The Divine eye is even the weakest of all my skills yet it refuses to activate?!"

Alex said in annoyance. This situation of not being able to use such a simple skill was frustrating.

He jumped from the lake, attempting to maybe land on one of the huge trees around him only to be given another great shock.

His body felt extremely weak and heavy that he could only jump half a meters high. He tried again but the outcome was still the same.

He was about to go crazy. He refused to believe that he had been ditched by his powers. He tried a couple more skills and even some martial art techniques. It was only then did he finally realize that he had to believe it even if he was unwilling.

So aside from his immortal essence which allows him to heal, everything else was lost. To put it simply, he was a weak watermelon but at least dying wasn't available for him anymore.

"So I can fight recklessly since I can't die right? But that is not enough. Doesn't that means I will have to travel long distances on foot instead of just riding a flying sword?"Alex pinch the skin between his eyebrows" I almost forgot this planet had cars and all those other means of transportation since they depend solely on that technology stuff, but...they are still too slow from the memories I got. Sigh, I can't even activate my immortal essence when wet, so I guess I can't act recklessly and also stay away from water if necessary"

Alex was still in thoughts when a sound echoed inside his head, flipping away his tray of thoughts.

Ding!!

Alex almost got a heart attack when that sound echoed from within him.

"Who the hell is that!?" he roared into the void, hoping the intruder would show him/herself, but only dead silence greeted him for almost a minute.

Alex was about to speak again when a static voice interrupted him.

[System updating complete]

[System imprint]

[System activated]

Those prompts appeared simultaneously in his consciousness, he could somehow see them and even hear them (literally ୧| ͡ᵔ ﹏ ͡ᵔ |୨)

"What the..."

Alex was once again given a huge fright. He had concluded earlier that he was the only one with powers on this planet but he was now having second thoughts.

"If you are a cultivator or demon, you don't have to mess with my mind like that, it's very inappropriate. Just come out and stop concealing your presence".

Alex only mentioned those two, 'cultivator' and 'demons', because those were the only existence that could harness spirit energy on his home planet, aside from those two, he did not know of any other existence.

[Greeting host! This is your immortal system, host] A clear female voice replied to his demand instead of what he was expecting.

"What system?" Alex still wasn't convinced that it was some 'system' and not someone toiling with him.

[All immortals are bestowed with a particular system after transcending immortality and you also got one after ascending] The female voice replied plainly; it sounded much more like a fact.

"Are you saying you are my system and not someone who is trying to mess with me?"Alex narrowed his eyes and looked around him vigilantly. He was trying if he could somehow spot anyone who might be the owner of this voice that was conversing with him.

[Yes, I am your system, host] the voice replied coolly

Alex was still having doubts but decided to forget about it, at least for now. Even if this voice wasn't saying the truth, there was nothing he could do now that he was vulnerable.

After all, this voice already somehow knew he was an immortal, so clearly this voice wasn't as simple as he thought, so why bother with things he couldn't solve?

"Then, tell me why you are showing up only at this time because I'm certain I've been awake for some time now"Alex gave a last push to get something he hoped would come.

[System was booting] The so-called system stated casually, not bothered by Alex's vigilance.

Alex sighed as there was not a single flaw he could find in the voice's response.

"Ok then, so what do you have for me? No, I mean what use are you to me?"

[I think I should explain what a system does to host first, the types of systems, and the uses of the various systems. Well I guess I should say the types basically explain the uses.]  The voice finally sounded serious.

'Hmm. Since I don't have my powers and skills here, I guess this can be my op abilities on this planet, let's see. Hehehe' Alex thought to himself.

"Ok. Go on then"

[There are thousands of systems out there host. But there are four main systems at the top which could be said to be the ancestral systems. These systems are the strongest of all systems.

The genius system=makes anyone with the system the most intelligent on the entire planet.

The creation system=can allow the host to create anything they desire, life is the only exception.

The God system=make the host of this system the strongest on that planet.

The luck system = makes the host really lucky, always lucky.

So those are the four ancestral systems that any immortal would wish for, the rest are all under these four.

Speed system, strength system, time system, death system, life system, light system, karma system, fire system, metal system.

They just keep going, almost infinite] The voice finally stopped its explanation and allowed Alex to digest the new information or ask if he was confused.

"Ok. I understand now. So what type of system are you? You can even have a conversation with me, is that also one of your features?" Alex didn't think much of it. The explanation was so simple that even a blockhead would understand, knowing the different types of systems and their privileges just made him excited to have one.

[I am an evolved system. For some reason, you were deemed Worthy enough and got two systems, one from the four ancestral systems and another from the rest which together made me (◠‿◕)] the voice said cheekily.

"Hang on. Like hell? How did I know you just winked?" Alex didn't know how he should react to this new development. First, a system popped out of nowhere and now it could even make expressions that Alex could somehow feel/see and this gave him the chills.
