"What the fuck!" He exclaimed and started pushing himself backward until his back hit the wall. In front of him was a green three-eyed python, its entire body bleeding, and its eyes staring straight at him—lifeless.
'Fuck! This is monster! Where the hell I am? Don't tell me this is Monster house!'
'Calm down! Calm down!'
Meng tried to calm himself and kept watching the serpent for a while. When he confirmed that it was truly dead, only then did he relax. After that, he stood up and began observing his surroundings. He was in a large chamber where smooth jade pillars stood tall, his left side was a large red gate covered with strange words, and on his right side, a huge circle was drawn, resembling a formation.
"Where am I? Didn't I die? And who killed this serpent?" Meng muttered as he slowly walked toward it. This was the first time he had seen a serpent with three eyes, and its size must have been around 25-30 meters.
'Did I transmigrate like fantasy novel?
Or this is just a dream? Can't I even die in peace?'
"Why does my body feel strange—fuck! Even my voice is different! Has my body healed from all that torture?" Meng stopped mid-sentence and began checking his body.
His body no longer felt as weak as before; instead, he could feel strength coursing through it. His shoulders looked broader, his height seemed taller, and his body had become lean. He don't know exactly because there was not a mirror so he just assume.
He hurried to a polished jade pillar and caught sight of his reflection—A sixteen-year-old boy stared back at him. Black hair framed his sharp face, and his eyes shone with golden flecks. This wasn't the broken, tortured child he had been. This was a new body—vital, youthful, brimming with potential.
"So handsome! Have I really transmigrated? But I am—" Meng was shocked as he looked at himself and start checking his body, when suddenly the sound of the gate opening echoed.
CREAK!!
He saw the large red gate slowly opening. 'Is this the way out?' he thought and assuming it was the exit, he began moving toward it.
When Meng entered through the gate, he saw a large polished room. Inside, there was a table with three items on it.
He walked up to the table where the three items were placed: a box containing a ring, a black sword with a red hilt, and a black book with a golden eye on its cover.
He picked up the book first, and the moment his fingers touched it, the golden eye on the cover blinked.
"What the hell," Meng was taken aback. Lifting the book to his face, he stared at it intently, trying to figure out the book.
After staring at it for a while and seeing nothing happen, he thought, 'Maybe I should open the book. I might find something about it inside.'
But his body wouldn't move at all. He couldn't even move his eyes.
He began to panic as a sharp pain suddenly shot through his head, as if a thousand needles were stabbing into his skull. He couldn't scream, he couldn't move his body—he could only keep staring at the golden eye.
Just when he felt he could no longer endure the pain, the golden eye began to glow. Then it shattered into golden particles and started fusing into his eyes.
"Ahhhhh!" he screamed as the golden particles fused into his eyes. At the same time, a searing pain shot through his head as unknown memories began forcing their way into his mind.
After a few minutes, when the pain finally subsided, Meng began breathing heavily and rapidly. His clothes were soaked with sweat. Sitting cross-legged, he started going through the memories in his mind, trying to recall and figure out them.
'So this is a cultivation world… where humans, magical beasts, and other races exist. A world where everyone absorbs the Heaven and Earth energy and cultivates to become stronger and seek immortality.'
'In this world, being weak is a sin, and becoming strong is the only virtue. Here, the strong can make even their wrongs seem right. Here, you can rely only on your own strength—because without strength, you will be killed.'
'This world is called Mandola. It contains 48% land and 52% water, making it a balanced yet vast realm. Mandola is fifty times larger than Earth, filled with countless mysteries and powerful beings. Despite its enormous size, it has only three continents, each holding unique races, landscapes, and dangers. In this world, strength decides fate, and only those who grow stronger can survive its boundless challenges.'
'The first continent is called Celestial Continent, the largest of the three, covering 32% of the world. Humans live there alongside beasts, demi-humans, and many other races.
'The second is the Azurecloud Continent, located southwest of the Celestial Continent, making up 12% of the world. It contains two major empires and one vast, ancient forest.
'The third is Havenfall, said to have "fallen from the heavens," which is how it earned its name. It is the smallest, only 4% in size, and is surrounded by chaotic miasma that makes it extremely dangerous.'
