Darkness surrounded him, endless and silent, as if even time itself had stopped moving. Li Xuan felt his consciousness drifting, his thoughts fading like a dying flame, and for a moment he believed everything had ended—that this was truly death. Then—a sharp sound echoed in the void.
[Ding!] [Destiny Immortal System Activated.]
A sudden surge of energy exploded within his body. His eyes snapped open as he gasped for air, his chest heaving violently as if he had just escaped from the abyss itself.
He was alive. His breathing turned heavy as he looked around in shock. A small, familiar room appeared—a wooden desk, scattered books, faint sunlight entering through the window.
"This place…?"
He walked toward the mirror. The moment he saw his reflection—his body froze. A younger version of himself stared back. Unharmed… alive.
"I… came back?"
Memories rushed—betrayal, humiliation, pain… death.
[Ding!] [Welcome, Host.] [You have been chosen by the Destiny Immortal System.]
"A system…?"
[Yes.] [The Destiny Immortal System grants you the power to rewrite your fate.] [Defeat enemies → Gain Experience Points] [Complete missions → Unlock Skills] [Change destiny → Gain Evolution Rewards]
[Name: Li Xuan] [Level: 1] [EXP: 0/100] [Skills: None] [Physique: Weak]
A cold smile appeared.
"So this is my second chance…"
"In my last life… I was weak."
"I trusted the wrong people…"
"And I died."
[New Skill Unlocked: Energy Sense]
A faint energy gathered around his hand.
"This… is power."
"This time… everything will change."
[Main Quest Generated] [Rise Above Your Past]
He looked outside.
Same world. Same people.
But not the same him.
"I won't beg for respect…"
"I will take it."
[Ding!] [Hidden Quest Triggered]
[Condition: First Betrayer Located]
[Target: Within 500 meters]
Li Xuan's eyes turned cold.
"So… you're already here."
"Good."
[Quest Updated: Kill or Be Killed]

A shadow moves in the dark. The first betrayer steps forward. Blood will spill for the first time in this new life… and Li Xuan will show what true power means.
