Vanaheim.
As one of the nine realms of the World Tree System, it was once the residence of the Vanir gods. Thousands of years ago, Odin and Hela wanted to unify the nine realms with their ambition and invasion.
The Vanir joined forces with the fire giant Surtur to fight against the Asgard army, but ultimately ended in failure.
The Vanir were severely damaged and finally had to compromise and sign a peace treaty. From then on, the Vanir were integrated into Asgard.
Frigga, the daughter of the leader of the Vanir, married Odin and became the queen of Asgard. Although later, Odin came to his senses and wanted to be a benevolent King and gave up fighting.
However, the conquered Nine Realms have ushered in a new order. So, Asgard became the protector of the nine realms.
…
After many years, in a hidden cave somewhere in Vanaheim. A huge scarlet egg stood in the center of the cave, with a flickering red light flashing around the egg.
"What is this place?"
"Why am I so sticky?"
Luke, a young man who died suddenly from working overtime late at night, regained consciousness again.
"I remember, I was still working overtime in my office to revise the plan, wasn't I? At that time due to working overtime, I lost my consciousness." Luke began to recall what had happened to him before.
Then he tried to rub his eyes, but found that his hands had turned into claws. And these claws feel a bit soft.
"What the fuck! Where are my hands?" Feeling his hands, Luke screamed in horror.
However, the sound produced was not the language that he was familiar with, but a hissing roar.
"It's over! I'm no longer a human being!"
After a while, Luke finally figured out some of his current physical condition. He should be inside an egg now, with claws, a tail, scales on his body, and two small meat lumps on his back, which should be wings. He suddenly feels a little hopeless.
Although when he was alive, he thought that he didn't want to be a social animal like a human being in his next life.
However, now that he really doesn't have to be a human being anymore, Luke still feels a little lost. After being depressed for a while, Luke began to cheer up again.
Now he is not sure what species he has been reborn into, but he has some rough guesses. It is most likely a creature like a dragon. As an alien soul, Luke did not have any so-called inherited memory that dragons have at all, so naturally he knew nothing.
Therefore, the most urgent thing was to break out of the shell first, see what species he had been reincarnated into, and then get to know the world he was in.
Luke tried to knock on the inner wall of the eggshell, and it felt like he was knocking on steel.
"It seems that it's not the time for me to be born yet." Luke said to comfort himself. The warm and comfortable feeling all around made Luke gradually relax and he slowly fell into a deep sleep.
....After an unknown time....
Luke, who was still inside the egg doesn't know how much time has passed in the outside world. The shell of the giant egg containing Luke has become slightly transparent.
Luke in the egg suddenly woke up and felt a slight pressure on his body. He knew that during the period of sleep, his body should have developed again, and now the space in the egg was almost no longer able to accommodate him.
"It's finally time." Luke thought, then swung his claw and chopped at the eggshell fiercely. Without much hindrance, cracks appeared on the eggshell.
"Perhaps I am already on the verge of hatching, and all the nutrients in the egg have been absorbed by my current body. So the eggshell has become less hard."
Then, Luke continued his effort and pushed hard with his head. The eggshell wrapping his body immediately shattered, revealing Luke's entire body.
"I'm finally out."
Luke stepped on the fragments of eggshell and let out a childish roar towards the sky, announcing his arrival. Through a small puddle in the cave, Luke also saw his current appearance.
A young black dragon.
"It is indeed the case. It seems that I am in a fantasy world." Luke looked at his current body from the reflection in the water and said with an amazed look.
[Ding! The host is born successfully, and the treasure chest system is officially opened.]
[Ding! The host is reborn, which is the greatest thing in the entire multiverse. The treasure chest has been given. The host can choose to open the treasure chest to get rewards.]
The sudden voice in his mind silenced Luke's excited roar. But in a flash, there was an even bigger surprise.
Luke quickly calmed down and began to communicate with the system in his mind to confirm that he was not hallucinating.
"System, are you there?" Luke began to call the system.
[Ding! Host, the system is at your service.]
"System, please introduce your functions."
[Ding! This system is a treasure chest system. As long as the host participates in any event, according to the size of the event and the host's participation in the event, the treasure chest will be given and rewards can be obtained.]
"Uh! You mean for me to cause trouble, right?" Luke said after listening to the introduction of the system.
[Ding! The host is free, the right to choose is in your hands.]
"Then can you tell me what kind of world I am in now?" Luke was eager to know where he was now.
[Ding! Please explore on your own.]
After getting this answer, Luke was speechless. But knowing that he wouldn't get the answer to his previous question, he decided to focus on the other things, like the treasure chest he got.
"System, did you just say that I have a treasure chest that can be opened?"
[Ding! Host, do you want to open the treasure chest?]
At this moment, a projection of a treasure chest emitting golden light suddenly appeared in front of Luke, with a prompt on it that indicated it could be opened.
"Why do I feel like I'm playing a low-quality online game?" Luke said seeing the name which was written on the treasure chest.
"A newbie's treasure chest! let me see if the system is good enough or not." Although Luke complained a little, he couldn't help but rub his paws excitedly and stretched them forward.
[Ding! The treasure chest is opened. Congratulations to the host for obtaining a portion of the ancient Kryptonian bloodline. Do you want to fuse it immediately?]
After the treasure chest was opened, a ball of blood emitting golden light appeared in front of Luke.
"Wait, system! The Kryptonian blood you mentioned is the Kryptonian I am thinking of, right?" When Luke saw the reward appearing in the treasure chest, his brain froze for a moment, and then he asked in disbelief.
[Ding! That's right, it's the Kryptonian in the superhero comics that the host is familiar with.]
"Kryptonian! The race that gave birth to Superman." Luke exclaimed in surprise. Kryptonians, the darling of the sun, have a talent that allows them to become stronger by basking in the sun.
Giving them body of Steel, super strength, super speed, flight, heat vision...
And to get all this, they just need to absorb the radiation from the yellow sun that emits infinite light.
"However, system. What does this ancient Kryptonian bloodline mean?" Luke asked somewhat confused.
[Ding! The Kryptonian blood of later generations has been artificially adjusted by their race, and each individual has great limitations. But the ancient Kryptonian blood obtained by the host contains infinite possibilities and has stronger potential, but the corresponding growth period is also longer.]
After hearing the system's answer, Luke instantly thought of General Zod in the Superman movie, Man of Steel.
The Kryptonian general who has maxed out his combat and command talents. After being exposed to the yellow sun's radiation, he was able to quickly master his abilities in a short period of time and fight against Superman who had been exposed to the sun for so many years.
However, although General Zod is strong, his potential is far inferior to Superman, who can spend more time in the sun, and his growth limit is higher. Of course, more importantly, because he has the Code of Life in his body.
"Well, I take my words back. You are an awesome system." Looking at the treasure chest's reward he obtained, Luke couldn't help but speak sincerely.
