Chapitre 1: A New World
Azura City, Heart Hospital.
"They look so happy." Leon, who was in the patient's bed, looked at the children playing in the front yard through the windows.
Even though a soft smile appeared on his face, sadness could be spotted in his black eyes.
Leon was paralyzed from shoulder to foot after being struck by lightning. The doctor said he would spend the rest of his life in the patient's bed.
At first, he could not accept it.
He was a genius martial artist who broke through to the Grandmaster rank at the age of twenty-one.
Something like this had never happened before.
Normally, it took them forty years to achieve that.
However, it did not apply to Leon because he only needed fifteen years to reach the Grandmaster rank.
People said the heavens were jealous of him, so the lightning struck him, destroying his bright future.
Of course, most people were delighted about this.
His talent was so terrifying, so they shouted for joy when Loen could not become a martial artist anymore because they were afraid of him before.
"I…" Leon looked at his body before returning his attention to the children again.
As sadness was enveloping his heart, a powerful earthquake struck Azura City, shaking the hospital violently.
Medical equipment fell to the floor, and Leon was thrown from the patient's bed.
He screamed for help while looking at the door.
But no matter how many times he screamed, none of the doctors or nurses came to save him.
Leon was paralyzed from shoulders to foot, so he could not walk and crawl, causing him to only lie on the floor.
'It seems like I will die today.'
He accepted his fate immediately.
'Well, dying is not bad either because I have no future in this life.'
Right after he shut his eyes, the walls and medical equipment fell on his body, causing him to close his eyes forever.
----
"Ouch!" a young man about eighteen years old cried out in pain before finally sitting up.
'I…survived?'
The expression of deep shock blossomed on his face.
'Wait! I can sit by myself?'
His body was paralyzed, so he was taken aback by what was going on.
'Did the doctor finally fou-'
Before he had finished his words, memory fragments flashed past like projections on the slideshow.
'This is…'
The young man finally knew what was going on.
He took over someone else's body!
Not only that, but he also transmigrated into a parallel world.
However, this world was the same as his previous world.
The strong ruled the weak!
But unlike his previous world, there was magic in this world.
'So, my predecessor's name is Ren, huh?'
For some reason, he could not see all of his predecessor's memories.
'Ren, thank you for allowing me to use your body. I promise I will take care of your body and help you achieve your dream.'
His predecessor's dream was to become a powerful person.
Coincidently, his dream was also the same, so his determination to become a powerful person was stronger than before.
'Ren, don't worry. Everyone will know my name in the future.'
He shook his head.
'No. Everyone will know our name in the future.'
When he was about to stand up, an artificial intelligence voice appeared in his head.
[Gene analysis in progress. Bloodline analysis is progress. 98% compatibility. Criteria met. System binding initiated.]
'Hmm? System binding?'
[System binding successful. Please open the system display.]
A notification popped up.
Ren was curious about it, so he opened the system display immediately.

'Half-human? Mage? Warrior? Grade S?'
Countless questions popped up in his mind.
But when he was about to ask it, his system said something to him.
[Host, the system suggest you leave this town immediately.]
Right after he rose to his feet, his eyes widened in surprise.
'This is…'
Previously, he was focused on his body and his system, so he was not aware of the situation around him.
"Aaaggghhh…"
"Aaaggghhh…"
"Aaaggghhh…"
The sound of people screaming in pain reverberated in every part of the town.
Ren was currently in Verneau Town, his predecessor's hometown.
His town was currently being attacked by countless magical beasts and his predecessor died when ten of them attacked him together.
Of course, his predecessor did not die alone because he took down three of them before finally closing his eyes forever.
'This body is not as strong as my previous body. I think it's better to avoid those magical beasts.'
No!
He was not a coward.
He decided to avoid them because he did not know the limits of his new body.
And from his point of view, fighting a magical beast was not a good idea because the town was filled with countless magical beasts.
'I will test the limit of my current body later.'
Right before he rushed out of town, his system spoke again.
[Host, take that beast core before leaving this place.]
"Beast core? What is it?" there was no magical beast in his previous life, so he did not know what beast cores were.
[It's a core within a magical beast that contains their magical energy and essence. In short, it's something that can help you get stronger, Host.]
"It can help me get strong? Alright." when he knew the use of the beast core, he did what he was told instantly.
'This is a beast core?'
Ren was currently standing before the corpse of a magical beast.
As his eyes were locked on the beast core, another question popped up in his mind.
'How can this beast core float above the corpse?'
He was a normal human, so a question popped up in his mind when he saw something shocking for the first time.
'No. This is not the right time to know about it.'
He took the beast core and rushed toward the corpse of another magical beast, taking the beast cores.
In a short time, Ren managed to get thirty beast cores.
He put them in his system because his system said it had an inventory feature, a magical space to store any item for him.
'I think it's enough.'
He decided to stop collecting the beast cores.
"No…No… Please…someone, please save me…Please save me…" the mature man, who was on the ground, dragged his body backward.
Terror overtook his face, and his body trembled continuously.
The magical beast before him was ready to kill him, so fear enveloped his heart as he screamed for help.
"Kekeke. Human, no one will save you. You will soon die at my hand. Kekeke." The puma did not kill the mature man immediately because he loved to see the frightened expressions of the mature man.
Ren, who was hiding behind a wall, peeked at the magical beast.
'What?! That magical beast can speak human language, too?'
The distance between them was quite far, so the puma did not notice him.
[Host, the system advises you not to have any funny ideas like saving the man because the possibility of you winning against that magical beast is zero, big zero. It's better if you leave this town immediately.]
Ren took one last look at the grown man before finally rushing toward the gate.
"Aaggghhh…" right after he left that place, the mature man's scream reverberated in the entire area.
Ren decided not to save the mature man because his system said it was impossible for him to defeat the magical beast.
His instinct also told him that he was too weak to face that puma, so the best decision was to leave that place immediately.
Of course, it would be a different story if the mature man was his family.
However, the mature man was only his fellow resident, so he did not want to risk his life to save him.
'A sword?'
When he saw a sword on the ground, he took it immediately because it could help him defend himself.
'System, do you have scan feature?'
He believed he could leave the town safely and easily with the help of the scan feature.
[Host, the scan feature is locked for now. Host needs to level up the system to unlock it.]
Ren no longer threw any question at his system and focused on running toward the gate.
On his way to the gate, he saw many magical beasts killing the citizens. Some of the citizens were even eaten by magical beasts.
However, Ren did not try to save them like before.
He was given a second chance to live and pursue his dream so he would not risk his life carelessly.
*Roar…
Gorilla's roar reverberated in the entire area.
Ren instantly stopped his footsteps and hid behind a wall because the gorilla was only ten meters away from him.
'That gorilla is not as strong as the puma. I think I can kill it.'
The gorilla before him was about three meters tall.
It had four arms and white fur.
Even though the White Gorilla looked scary, Ren had the confidence to kill it.
'No. It's better to avoid it too.'
There were several magical beasts in that area, so he decided not to fight it because he was not sure whether his current body could support his skills fully or not.
When Ren was slowly leaving that area, the White Gorilla noticed him.
Magical beasts had a very strong sense of smell, and the distance between them was not far, so the White Gorilla noticed him immediately.
"Roarrr…" the White Gorilla roared before finally running toward Ren.
Ren was unhappy with this, but even so, he did not complain.
'It's hard to run away from him because he is faster than me. Should I fight it?'
As he was thinking whether he should fight the White Gorilla or not, a quest popped up.
[Ding! Nothing is impossible. Even the weak can survive a disaster if they don't give up. Leave the Verneau Town in two hours. Upon completing the quest, Host will be rewarded with 100 points, 60 system exp and one random card.]
