"Wait… wasn't I grinding levels in the Martial World game? Did I just… transmigrate?"
Liam Ardent's eyes fluttered open, the remnants of a deep slumber still weighing on him. Before he could even take in his surroundings, a shimmering panel of light appeared in front of him.
Name: Liam Ardent
Gender: Male
Age: 15
Level: 1
Constitution: 10 (Determines comprehension speed and recovery rate)
Inner Power: 0 (Determines attack strength)
Experience: 0/1000 (Earned via cultivation, training, or rewards; higher realms require more experience)
Location: Butterfly Valley
Identity: Orphan found by Edric Thornwell
Liam's eyes widened with disbelief.
"Butterfly Valley? This… this is the Legends of the Celestial Blade Realm setting?"
He looked around. The table, the wooden chairs, the carved window frames—all of them exuded an ancient charm. Outside, the breeze carried the fragrance of herbs, and butterflies danced over the meadow beyond the window.
A thrill shot through him.
"I actually transmigrated into the Celestial Blade Realm! And I still have the Infinite Upgrade System from the Martial World game? That means… I can keep leveling up endlessly until I become the ultimate martial sovereign!"
Liam's lips curled into an eager grin. Visions of legendary treasures flashed in his mind: the Nine Suns Divine Skill, the Nine Yin Manual, the Heaven-Shift Art, the Dragon-Slaying Saber, the Heaven-Reliant Sword, the Sacred Fire Token… he wanted them all.
And the people—beautiful and deadly—he had read about… he couldn't help but chuckle. "Ladies of the realm… just wait for me."
Then another thought struck him. "Hold on… in the game, there was always a newbie gift pack. I wonder…"
"Storage!" he commanded in his mind.
A mental space unfolded before him, and there it was—a large crimson package floating in the center.
"Newbie Growth Pack! Just as I hoped!" Liam's eyes gleamed.
He focused on it, and a crisp notification rang in his head:
Item: Newbie Growth Pack (Available)
Details: A special welcome gift for newcomers. Can be opened immediately the first time; after that, it becomes available once every five levels, containing 2–3 random treasures each time.
Open?
"Yes!" Liam said without hesitation.
Two items materialized within the storage space:
Supreme Essence Pill ×1Charm Card (Opposite Gender) ×1
Liam's eyes lit up. "Both are treasures!"
Supreme Essence Pill: Permanently increases inner power by ten years' worth.
Charm Card (Opposite Gender): Permanently increases initial affection of all women by 60 points.
The pill spoke for itself—it was pure cultivation gold. But the charm card… Liam grinned knowingly.
Affection ranged from –100 (Mortal Enemy) to 100 (Devoted for Life). A base of 60 meant trust from the first meeting. Push it to 100… well, any man could imagine the possibilities.
"Use it!" he commanded.
A ripple of warm energy washed over him, and he felt his presence subtly shift—more magnetic, more… captivating. No mirror was nearby, but he could feel the change in his very bones.
Next, he focused on the pill. The moment he chose "Use," a torrent of energy surged through him, scouring every muscle and tendon, purging impurities from his body. His skin tingled as vitality poured into his meridians, settling in his core.
"Exhilarating!" Liam let out a long breath, savoring the power now coiled inside him.
The door creaked open.
A refined-looking middle-aged man stepped inside, his robes faintly scented with herbs.
Name: Edric Thornwell
Realm: Late Second-Rate Expert
Identity: Member of the Ming Sect, Master of Butterfly Valley, known as the "Valley Healer" and "Savior Who Saves None"
Liam quickly bowed. "Thank you for saving my life, Master Edric Thornwell. I owe you a great debt."
The man's gaze was calm but distant. "You reek. There's a stream nearby—wash yourself. Then, come back and tend the fire for my medicines. I found you; now prove you're worth keeping."
Without another word, he turned and left.
Liam stepped outside. The mountain air was fresh, the valley lush with blossoms. He stripped down and waded into the cool stream, letting the water wash away the dark residue expelled from his body.
When he caught sight of his reflection in the water, he paused. His face was as before—sharp-browed, bright-eyed, handsome—but now there was an effortless grace to him, like a wandering sword immortal who had descended into the mortal world.
He smirked. "If I don't win a few hearts in this realm, I'd be insulting this face."
Name: Liam Ardent
Level: 1
Constitution: 30 (Comprehension and recovery speed ×3)
Inner Power: 1000 (Peak Third-Rate Expert)
Experience: 0/1000
Storage: Growth Pack (Locked)
From a nameless orphan, he had already become a third-rate martial expert in raw inner strength—and he had only just begun.
"Boy!" Master Edric Thornwell's voice rang out from the distance. "Don't dawdle!"
Liam grinned, dressed, and walked toward his new fate in the Valley of Butterflies.
