"What the hell?"
Michael was so confused and everywhere he turned, he could only see the color white like he was caged in a white box.
"What's happening?"
He slapped his face but he didn't feel any pain.
"Huh?"
He knew he should have felt something as he tried to slap himself again but his palm went right through him.
"It can't be, just relax"
Realizing something's very wrong, he took a deep breath and closed his eyes, and opened them again.
But even then, nothing was changed.
"Am I dead? What was that voice I heard?"
He was trained to remain calm in any situation as panicking would only make things worse in his line of work.
Yet, no matter how hard he tried to calm and make sense out of this citation, he simply couldn't.
"Am I drugged? No, my watch would have indicated if there were any unknown substances in my blood"
As he said, he lifted his wrist to look at his watch but his Rolex was nowhere to be found on his wrist, and in fact, he just realized that he was naked.
"This is serious"
He couldn't help but frown looking at his bare naked body and even though he was naked, he couldn't feel anything or physically touch his body.
Closing his eyes again, he tried to concentrate on what just happened and the voice he had heard, just after he pulled the trigger.
"The System is looking for a body for the host, please wait"
Just as the message rang out, he could see a window pop up before him, as information could be seen scattered across the screen.
Host: Michael
Cultivation Level: Arch Sensing stage, level 1
Experience Points: 0/1000
Badass Points: 0
Current Skills: None
Occupation: None
Status: In spectral form
Goals: None
Notable Skills: Above average in marksmanship and combat
"How? What?!"
There was no one alive on earth that knew his real name but the screen was clearly showing his name and he couldn't figure out what this information was floating before him.
"Am I transmigrated? But why am I still in this form?"
He never would have thought that he would say these things but the novels he read on earth made him.
"The system, points, the cultivation, it must be that"
He analyzed the situation calmly as he could and he could tell that there's no other way to explain what's happening to him.
"Ding, the system has found a body for the host"
As the ring sound appeared in his mind, the white background around him slowly started to fade away and he found himself in what seemed to be a battle site.
"Forgive me, Elder Wright, forgive me, elders"
Michael tried to step back as he could when he saw a hooded figure crawling under his feet.
"Shit"
He noticed a man in medieval Knight armor walking towards him as he quickly looked for a weapon in instinct.
But the man seemed not to notice him as his gaze was on the figure under Michael's feet.
"Relenis Perfecasi Silicus Phantiteus Vengei Virtuula"
As an assassin, he had enhanced hearing and he was able to tell that the hooded figure had said something in a foreign language.
And just when he said these words, everything around him seemed to be paused as the flames, the wind, the man who was walking towards him, and everything was stopped like in the movies.
"Hey, can you hear me?"
Since only the hooded figure was moving, he shouted at him.
But surprisingly, a small ball of light emerged out of the hooded figure and started to take the form of a human before him.
And when Michael saw the youth who was standing before him, he was startled and the youth also looked shocked. Michael felt like he was looking at himself from nine years ago, the youth before him resembled his younger self.
"Who are you?"
Michael asked the youth before him but the youth just shook his head.
"There's no time to explain, I don't know whether you're the devil or not but please take my remaining soul energy and avenge my people, promise me"
Michael could see an immense amount of sadness in the eyes of this youth when he asked him.
"The system suggests the host promise Abras, finding a suitable body like this again would take twenty years "
The system sounded like a warning as Abras stared at him for his answer.
"It must be fate"
Michael sighed. What were the chances of him meeting his younger self in a circumstance like this and not to mention he seemed to have a system like in the novels?
"I promise"
Michael reached his hand out towards Abras as he didn't want to wait another twenty years in this form and more than that, he couldn't say no to him.
There was no smile or relief in Abras's face but grief as he took a last glance at the place around him before turning into a ball of light and flew right into Michael.
[The transmigration process has started, please wait]
The robotic voice of the system appeared again in his mind and then, he was pulled towards Abras's body.
***************************
(After two days)
Through the heart of the forest, an idle river carried all the debris that fell in from above slowly downstream. Large branches sprouted from the trees and reached into the murky water as if trying to scoop up the swarming fish. Although the warm water was an olive color from the swirling mud and microsized organisms, one could see the underwater wildlife flourish in the shallow part. Swamp-like vegetation and old, rotting trees crept into the river's edge and created slimy pools of debris from withered leaves and twigs. Among the debris, a body was floating and moving downstream.
And suddenly a ray of sunlight shone down and pierced through the closed eyes of Michael who was floating on the river and abruptly awoken by it.
Opening his eyes, he realized he was floating on the river and he quickly started to swim towards the shore before the river met a waterfall.
Even though he only swam for a couple of minutes, he felt very tired and exhausted as he lay on the wet sand for a moment.
But when he relaxed his body, he felt extreme pain in his mind as someone hitting his head with the hammer.
He clutched his head in pain while a great number of memories, both foreign and familiar, flooded his mind.
"AHHHHH!"
Michael couldn't hold back the anger and shout at the sky with all his might.
He felt overwhelming guilt, anger, helplessness, and betrayal at the same time. These memories and feelings were so lifelike that they almost felt as if he had experienced them himself.
In a short amount of time, he experienced the whole life of Abras.
"That bitch"
After separating his own memories from those of belonging to Abras, Michael's face was full of anger
[Transmigration completed, Host can now access the system ]
The familiar sound appeared in Michael's mind and drew his attention.
[Host has received a gift bag from the system, do you wish to open it now?]
The time around him seemed to be stopped when the screen appeared before him.
"Alright, let's see what I'm dealing with, open the gift bag"
Instantly, the page in his vision transformed into a golden box. The box opened as several beams of light streamed out before fading away.
[Congratulations host 'Michael' for obtaining the Initial level Experience Pill. Using the pill would give 10,000 XP]
[Congratulations to host 'Michael' for obtaining two healing potions. Using this potion would completely heal the host and cancel out any negative effects and the host would be invulnerable to attacks for two minutes]
[Congratulations to host 'Michael' for obtaining the beginner's…]
Several dings continued to rings in his mind as the interfaces tuned red
[Ding! The system has detected that the host is too weak and insist on the host to consume the XP pill immediately]
"System, how do I use the pill?"
The interface changed when he asked
"Do you wish to"
"Yes, I do"
Michael rushed the system before it could complete the question as in his mind, he could hear a series of messages from the system:
[ Host 'Michael' used the Initial Experience Pill and received 10,000 experience points]
[Congratulations to host 'Michael' for leveling up. The current stage is Arch Sensing Level 1]
[Congratulations to host 'Michael' for leveling up. The current stage is Arch Sensing Level 2]
[Congratulations to host 'Michael' for leveling up. The current stage is Arch Sensing Level 3]
[Congratulations to host 'Michael' for leveling up. The current stage is Arch Sensing Level 4]
…
[Congratulations to host 'Michael' for leveling up. The current stage is Arch Sensing Level 10]
Immediately, Michael sensed a surge of power passed through his entire body, causing his hairs to stand straight
Following that strange sensation was a feeling of extreme comfort. The pores all over his body opened up completely, greedily devouring Arch Energy from all around.
[Congratulations to Host for reaching the Foundation stage level 1]
And in a matter of seconds, he could feel his body experiencing a tremendous change as his muscles became stronger and he felt strange energy around him. It was almost as if he could fight the most formidable fighters on the earth.
And soon the feeling became familiar due to Abras's memories and then he hurriedly sifted through the memories that didn't belong to him, gaining a clear understanding of his present circumstances.
After searching through Abras's memories, he realized that Abras belonged to a secret group called the sanctuary that protected the legendary cosmic stream. According to his memories, the water from the stream had purified arch energy and some kind of another energy that would boost someone's cultivation level by many folds, cure any illnesses, keep him young forever and do many wonders as long as he or she keeps drinking the water from the stream.
But unfortunately, Abras didn't have any contact with the outside world and had no useful information that could have made Michael's life so much easier in this world.
Yet, that didn't discourage him even a bit but put a wide grin on his face.
"Well, I have a system like in the novels, and unlike those fictional characters, I can dominate this world for real, let's begin "
