A Curious Case of Mobs Extra

Capítulo 1: Chapter One

Six days have passed since I opened my eyes for the first time and what I see is not where I'm sleeping the night before. Until today, there has been no explanation and reason whatsoever that resulting me transmigrated into this young man's body.

There is no truck-kun ramming me from any angle and transferring me into this unknown world. There is no random omnipotence being that talk to me and giving me cheats or overpowered ability or any plot armor that explain why I'm here. Hell! even my name is Mobs Extra, what the hell, can you not give me a death flag already? What have I ever done for you to made me becoming a sure death flag character?

I'm a loss for a word to what happened to me. On the bright side, I happened to be a few lucky person or maybe the only one to transmigrated to another world, it's a dream come true for me and longing for countless others. However, if it can happen to me, it can happen to another person too. Maybe the transmigration is not that rare, human on earth just don't know because nobody can told them it happen. Another fortunate thing that happened to me is my new world has the legendary system, a basic transmigration and reincarnation tools for nerds and otakus into the magical world. However, the unfortunate thing is, the system is not exclusive for my use only, everybody has it and that system seems a little bit lacking from what I've read before in those free online novels.

*********************************

Well, at least I got an unknown perk. Usually, when a character got an unknown perk, it means that was an over-powered perk. I know that there will be an event in the future that allows me to find what was the description for that perk, so I'm not gonna worry about that, time will tell what it was. For now, I better focus on what that guy in front of me has been speaking for some time now.

Spending time for a week cram into a ship is not an ideal experience for a former modern age office worker. I spend two days throwing up because of the seasickness, and another four days doing nothing other than remembering my new body memories. It not much, but I know the basics such as everybody has system or status, and you just know how to operate it and also, I'm an orphan without family. What can you expect from a ten years old orphan, they don't know anything except that people need food and food use money.

*******************************

"Welcome to the Sky Crows Falls Sect. All of you are lucky to be selected to be the outer disciples of our proud sect. We just became victorious against our long-time enemy, therefore, the upper echelon decides to expand our sect into the upper tier mid-level sect on our continent. All of you here have been recruited."

"All of you are selected because there is a some talent in your soul to be a cultivator. You have been tested and segregated. A pendant was given to you by your tester at your hometown to distinguish your status in our sect. Now, please queue up in front of the banner with the same number or design as your pendant." said the guy that floating in front of us.

There are thousands of us in front of him but for some magical reason, we just heard his voice at a normal speaking volume. The floating spell, the voice spell and the aura projected by the facilitators have me excited with the prospect of cultivations and magics.

I looked at my pendant and what I see was a blank black stone pendant. I peeked at other people's pendant and saw some difference. Some of them showed the number one dash one and on the rare occasion, the number one dash two also showed. Many among us only showed blank like me. I think it was a cultivation levels and I never cultivate any technique, therefore, my stone pendant only shows blank.

More than half of the candidates queuing behind the blank banner. Because there are so many of us, the facilitators decided to move the other group to another venue for their orientation. After a while, the facilitators for a blank pendant group calls us one by one to the front. We were asked for our name and a drop of blood for future identification.

The stone pendant will be used as an identification artifacts, it will be uses for all of the future accommodation and permission. A drop of blood dropped on the stone pendant to bound the pendant with our identity.

The former slab of stone now become a blank on one side, and an emblem of our sect on the other. A crow shadowing a planet, that is the sect emblem. Bellow the emblem, a saying was carved that says "There is Always a Shadows". The emblem sometimes moves, flapping her wings, doing a cawing gesture, and sometimes she just pecking a chunk of the planet on the emblem. It was a fascinating artifact that remind me of a certain magical drawing in certain famous books and movies.

After the bonding ceremony, we were distributed a standard set of tools that are essential for cultivators, a magic beg, a set of "Introduction to cultivation and complete beginners guide for dumb people(10 books)", a set of "Sky Crow Mana Gathering Technique (10 books).", a fourteen inch stick in a box, two official sect long coat, four set of clothes, a dozen pills in a glass jar, and a hundred piece of gold coins.

Everything were deposited in the magic beg, a space extension beg. To operate the beg also very simple. You only need to touch it with your hand and the item automatically listed on your mind. You just choose what item you need, it will appear on your other hand. To keep the items in the beg also use similar gesture. Keep the item on your hand, and keep your other hand on the beg, and think about your desire to deposit the item into the beg. The item will disappear and automatically moved into the magic beg.

We separated further and grouped into two hundred people and we were asked to follow another facilitator wearing an official sect coat. The badge on his left chest shows the number two dash nine. As I suspected the pendant and the badge shows our cultivation levels and status. We were ushered onto a flying carpet operated by that man. At first, the carpet just big enough to fit maybe three to four people, however, the facilitator wave his hand and the carpet grow wider to fit all two hundred of us with enough space to fit another hundred disciples.

"Listen up!" shout the guy controlling the flying carpet. In my book, if a guy can control a flying carpet that can fly more than two hundred of us easily ask to listen he talk, you better listen without compromise. "My name is Jon Khan, and I will be the leaders of your courtyard for now on. We will be staying at the courtyard no. 831. I know most of you have a lot of questions but I'll not answering any of those questions. Keep those questions to yourself because many of those questions will be answered during your one-week long orientation and some of those will be answered by reading the guide. So I want total silence during our travel. It has been a long day, I'm tired and hungry, so just follow what my assistant orders when we arrive and listen to him". A wave of pressure can be felt when Jon finished his sentence, I feel nauseated and genuinely scared for my life. It was like facing an apex predator readying to have its meals, and we are its meals.

"Ahem...Hi! I'm Jay Abraham. Assistant warden for courtyard 831." The invisible pressure gone instantly when the assistant warden starts to speak. I finally realized that I have been holding my breath for quite sometimes now. I don't know if I can survive or not if the pressure stays on for longer times but I'm glad that Mr. Abraham made the pressure gone. I now know what is killing intent feels like, and I never want to face it again without having some countermeasures to nullify it.

It made my blood boils with excitement. Someday, I will be able to fly a flying carpet too and do the killing intent too in the future. I never feel like that on the old earth. Everything were only repetition and routine. I work to survive and never enjoy it. It is mundane and boring. I'm glad that I was here, and I'm gonna enjoy it to the fullest.

"The courtyard will be your home for the foreseeable future, you will be given your own personal housing that will be used until you died or until you are promoted into inner disciples. For now, please sit down and enjoy the views." Mr. Abraham said.

Mr. Abraham keep explaining some basic introduction of our sect during our travel. The sect located on an archipelago of islands at the Skyfall River, the biggest river on the continent of Marra. The islands also located near the biggest waterfall I have ever seen in my life. They flew us high into the air and show us The Grand Sky Waterfall, the biggest waterfall along the Skyfall River and the biggest waterfall in the continent of Marra.

When we were high on the air, I finally let it sink in my heart that I am in another world. The world is so different from the old earth. It is not because a view of the waterfall that made feel that, it also not because I was flying on the biggest flying carpet I have ever seen, but because I just see a huge crow as big as a skyscrapers on earth holding elephant size wyvern or dragon on its beak. What made us terrified enough is the crow glare at us for less than a second but we still feel a hundred times more pressure than what was emitted by the warden before. The funny thing is, Mr. Abraham, says that, the glare was a baptism for a new disciples. Basically, the killing intent is controlled and restrained. They were called a Sky Crow. The sky crow that we see is just an adolescent and there are a bunch of older and bigger sky crow around the archipelago and the waterfall. They has been here long before the sect established. The archipelago and the waterfall is their natural nesting area. The sect founder somehow made deals with them and used the inhabited island for establishing the sect. He then used the sky crow as a symbol of the sect and in return, they become an unofficial protector for the sect.

We keep flying further away and not long after, we left the main island. We keep flying for another ten minutes then we finally arrive at our courtyard. After I see the courtyard, I finally change my mindset. This world will always be ridiculous and absurd. The normal size Asian courtyard on earth normally around the size of a big house or an apartment complex. However, as ridiculous as it sound, a courtyard here is the size of a whole small island. A whole island was designated as a courtyard for more or less 500 disciples and the more absurd idea is, there are at least another 830 islands around the archipelago housing huge amount of disciples for the sect.

In the middle of the island, there is a small village with hundreds of nice-looking ancient brick house. The Chinese and western architecture design can be seen influencing the house layout. In the middle of the village, there is several huge building surrounding a huge incomplete circle tower. After the flying carpet made several encirclements around the village, we touch down in front of the incomplete circle tower called Hakka Tower.

As soon as we stop, Mr. Khan waves his hand and made the carpet disappeared resulting in many of us to fall on our butt. Some of us complaining but I and several others know better, nothing good will come out if we made that grumpy warden angry. Take it in mind that he can kill all of us with the flick of his hand. It is better for us to just accept the cold treatment and move on.

We spend some time listening to another welcoming speech by an elder of the island 831. As an elder, his cultivation is at a foundation establishment level. I have no idea what it means, but I know he is a powerful man, stronger than the warden, Mr Khan and that is a terrifying thought. After the speech, One by one, our name was called by Mr Abraham. When my name called, I cringe. Nobody in their right mind named their child Mobs Extra. Remembering that I'm an orphan, I probably will never know the bastard who name me. Fuck it, let the past be the past. I'm will enjoy my second fantasy life to the fullest.

I was assigned a house on the outskirts of the village. We were dismissed as soon as the key spell was imbedded on our stone slab and given a wooden box containing some cooking ingredients such as rice, wheat, cooking condiment, salt, sugar and many more. We were asked to assemble when the bell sounds for the evening.

During the walk, it dawn on me that my life as a cultivator has begun. I don't know what the future hold but, I'll try the hardest to avoid the fate of my namesake and have a long fulfilling cultivator's life.

Maybe I finally have time to see what the blinking red dot at the edge of my view means. Maybe I finally got some quest, or maybe I finally level up. Who knows, cross my fingers hoping the blinking red dot bringing a piece of good news to me and my well-being.
