sharp beep drilled through the darkness.
Li xuan's eyelids twitched. The air smelled of antiseptic and plastic, not incense or spirit herbs. White light stung his eyes as he sat upright on a narrow bed.
The room was strange—smooth walls, metal rails, blinking screens. Tubes ran from his arm to a clear pouch of water hanging beside him.
"Where the hell am I?"
He reached inward by instinct, seeking his dantian.
Nothing. No flow of qi, no warmth in his core—only emptiness.
Then a window pops up and a voice echoed his mind.

"Dual what?"
> [Through resonance of life-energy between compatible partners, Host can accumulate vitality and ascend.]
"…You're telling me the only way to regain power is—"
> [Affirmative.]
He stared at the ceiling and cursed inwardly.
"I Li Xuan born with D rank talent, humiliated and abandoned by my family and sect. After leaving the sect i struggled countless years to keep my life. At last when i found a hidden treasure at thousand peak mountain i sent out to a trash world."
"What the hell wrong with my shitty luck."
But no amount of complaining changed the message flickering in his vision.

A Month passed
The world called Earth was noisy, fast, and utterly mundane.
Instead of flying swords, people drove metal beasts on black stone roads. Instead of talismans, they used glowing rectangles called phones.
This body lives in a apartment alone. Do 9-5 job in a nearby coffee house. Go home in weekdays. Have no close freind.
Each night he sat cross-legged on his narrow bed, trying to meditate. The silence inside him never changed.
"Still nothing," he muttered. "Not even a spark."
> [Reminder: Ambient mana = 0 %. Cultivation impossible.]
"I know, I know," he groaned. "You've told me for thirty nights straight."
He had started to think the system was broken—or maybe just lazy—until that afternoon.

The sun was dipping low when the doorbell rang.
Li xuan set down the grocery bag and opened the door.
A woman stood there, smiling politely. She looked to be in her late thirties. She is holding a bowl
"Good evening, Denji. I made some soup and thought you might want a bowl."
Her voice was soft but steady — the kind of tone that carried both maturity and kindness.
Li xuan blinked. "Oh, that's… really kind of you, Miss Luna. You didn't have to."
She raised an eyebrow. "You've barely step outside. I was starting to wonder if you were secretly growing roots in there."
He chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck. "Guess I've been… adjusting. This world's still new to me."
"New?" she teased lightly. "You sound like you came from another planet."
Close enough, he thought.
"Please, come in. I can't let my savior stand in the hallway."
At the same time system pops up
