"Name: Su Yun."
"Realm: None."
"Awakening Talent: None."
Staring at the cold screen of the testing machine, Su Yun's face was filled with bitterness.
Even though this was already the fifth time he had seen the same result, his heart still felt cold.
Three years ago, he had crossed into Blue Star.
There was China here. There was the Cherry Blossom Country.
It was almost no different from Earth.
Except that the landmass was tens of thousands of times larger.
On Blue Star, once people reached adulthood, they could awaken talents.
Powerful talents could move mountains and part seas, soar through the sky, and grant endless glory and privilege.
On the other hand, if one failed to awaken a talent, they would fall to the very bottom, living as humbly as an ant.
Simply put—
This was a world where strength ruled above all else.
And talent was the foundation of everything.
Yet…
As someone who had crossed into this world, Su Yun received none of the advantages that others like him were rumored to have.
For three whole years, he had not even caught a glimpse of a special advantage.
Without a talent, he was destined to never rise above the rest.
Su Yun let out a long sigh and turned to leave the testing hall.
Just then, a few people walked past, their gazes falling on him.
"Isn't that Su Yun?"
"Su Yun? The guy who went after the school beauty, bragged about having unmatched talent, and ended up with nothing after the test?"
"Yeah, that's him. Where did he get the nerve to bother Liu Qingshan? She awakened an S-tier talent—a true prodigy, one of a kind in all of Canglan City!"
"That much is obvious. Ms. Liang must have had a hand in it. Honestly, Liu Qingshan is enviable—beautiful, from a powerful family, and now with an S-tier talent. Her future is limitless."
"Next week is the national academy selection. I heard several institutions are already paying attention to her."
…
Su Yun ignored the mockery and continued walking forward.
Liu Qingshan, the school beauty of Canglan No. 1 High School.
Three days ago, during the talent test, she awakened an S-tier talent—the Goddess of Life.
The entire city of Canglan was shaken.
But—
Su Yun had never pursued Liu Qingshan.
In fact…
It was Liu Qingshan who had been clinging to him from the very beginning.
Three years ago, when Su Yun had just arrived on Blue Star, he had accidentally saved Liu Qingshan's life.
From that moment on, she became convinced that Su Yun was her destined one.
When Su Yun was thirsty, she would take the initiative to buy him water.
When he was hungry, she would bring out a carefully prepared lunch.
To put it bluntly, as long as Su Yun wanted it, Liu Qingshan was willing to give him everything she had.
Of course, Su Yun never crossed any boundaries.
To him, Liu Qingshan was just a girl who had yet to experience much of the world.
All that talk of heroes saving beauties and destined partners was nothing more than reading too many novels.
Moreover, Liu Qingshan came from an outstanding family, one of the prominent households in Canglan City.
Su Yun, by contrast, had no parents and lived in the slums.
That was why he always kept his distance.
He had no interest in getting dragged into the messy disputes of wealthy families.
Yet, for some unknown reason, after the talent test ended, rumors began spreading through Canglan No. 1 High School.
They claimed Su Yun had been pestering Liu Qingshan and fabricated all sorts of stories about him.
Before he knew it, Su Yun had been labeled as a pathetic hanger-on—someone who ends up with nothing in the end.
And it wasn't just the school.
Now, even across the entire city of Canglan, people were talking.
"To fall this far… I've really disgraced people like me."
Su Yun laughed softly at himself.
He didn't care about those rumors at all.
After living a second life, many things no longer seemed worth dwelling on.
