Transmigrating to Douluo Continent

Douluo Continent, southwest of the Heaven Dou Empire, south of Notting City in Fasinuo Province.

Holy Soul Village.

Dawn had only just broken. A faint strip of fish-belly white rose in the distant east, yet atop a small hill barely a hundred meters high beside Holy Soul Village stood two small figures.

They were two children of only five or six. Clearly, they often basked in the sun's warmth; their skin had a healthy wheat-colored glow. Their short black hair looked neat, and although their clothes were simple, they were clean.

The two children stood not far apart. One boy, who seemed slightly more mature, sat atop the hill. His eyes were fixed intently on the gradually brightening patch of fish-belly white in the east. He slowly inhaled through his nose, then exhaled through his mouth. His inhalations were long and continuous, his exhalations faint and gentle, forming a wonderful cycle.

Just then, his eyes suddenly widened. Within that gradually brightening patch of fish-belly white at the horizon, a faint trace of purple energy seemed to flash by. Without astonishing eyesight and sufficient concentration, no one could possibly have noticed its existence.

The appearance of the purple energy completely focused the boy's mind. He no longer exhaled, only inhaling lightly and slowly as his eyes remained fixed upon that flickering shade of purple.

The purple energy did not last long. When the fish-belly white in the east was gradually covered by the color of the rising sun, the purple energy had completely vanished.

Only then did the boy slowly close his eyes and let out a long breath of turbid air. A stream of white air shot from his mouth like a ribbon before gradually dispersing.

Yet while he cultivated, he had no idea that the other child sleeping not far from him had already stopped breathing. The small body lying in the grass was gradually growing cold.

Just as the purple energy was about to disappear, a bolt of lightning carrying a remnant soul appeared in the air and instantly entered the already cold corpse.

"Hiss!"

The "corpse" abruptly sat up, letting out a muffled groan. Then it curled up and clutched its head, cold sweat pouring down its face.

"What happened to me?"

Only after a while did Wu Liang rise to his feet and mutter to himself.

Looking at his tiny hands and clearly smaller body, Wu Liang suddenly remembered that he should have died already. And it had been an utterly stifling death—sudden death after grinding the Abyss in an internet cafe for three days and three nights.

While Wu Liang's thoughts ran wild, a memory entered his mind. There was not much of it, more like a short film. In just a few minutes, Wu Liang had completely absorbed it.

"I transmigrated?"

After sorting through and absorbing the original owner's memories, Wu Liang muttered to himself. The previous owner had also been named Wu Liang and had just turned six. Then he looked toward the figure cultivating in the distance. "That little figure is Tang San, right? So I transmigrated into Douluo Continent. That's right—if the memories are correct, it seems I have a system. Seria, are you there?"

"Ding! Host, I am here."

A crisp voice sounded, and then a little elf in a green dress appeared within Wu Liang's mind.

"So there really is one. Then how did the original owner die? He couldn't have just died for no reason, right? That makes no sense. And with a system, how could he have died?"

Wu Liang thought to himself, then asked the adorable figure, "Seria, how did the owner of this body die? Why did it end up benefiting me so much?"

Seria said, "Host, the original host had reached the end of his lifespan. That was why you benefited from it."

"Reached the end of his lifespan? At only six? Are you kidding me? How could anyone be that short-lived? You must be messing with me."

Wu Liang did not believe it. If Seria said he had died from illness, Wu Liang might have believed it somewhat. But reaching the end of his lifespan? That was impossible.

Perhaps knowing what Wu Liang was thinking, Seria continued, "Host, I know what you are thinking. The original owner truly had reached the end of his lifespan. His original lifespan was only five years. That extra year was only extended by spending all his points. The original owner was a taboo existence in this world and should never have been born. However, his father sacrificed himself so that the original owner could be born. But because he was a taboo, even after being born, his lifespan could not be long."

"What taboo? If that's the case, doesn't this body have some major defect? Am I going to follow in his footsteps?" Thinking of how short the previous owner's lifespan had been, Wu Liang wondered whether he only had a few years left as well.

Seria said, "You are overthinking it, Host. The original owner became a taboo because his father was the Sun God from another world, while his mother was a soul beast who had nearly become a god. Their union gave birth to a taboo existence. He should not have been able to descend into this world at all."

"But the original owner's father happened to sacrifice himself to fulfill the original owner's birth, allowing him to be born. However, his mother also died while overcoming the million-year heavenly tribulation after giving birth to him. Even though he was born, his lifespan was short because he had become a taboo."

"You can rest assured, this body has no problems. The problem was with the original owner's soul. Now that the original owner's soul has scattered completely, the taboo has become a joke. Yet you have gained an enormous benefit because of it. You should know that this body is a demigod body. Although it has not awakened yet, you should understand how precious a demigod body is, right?"

After hearing Seria's explanation, the worry Wu Liang had been carrying finally settled, and he began calmly sorting through the "inheritance" left behind by the previous owner.

Changing into a more comfortable sleeping position, Wu Liang communicated with Seria through his thoughts. "Seria, what exactly kind of system are you? Can you give me a detailed introduction?"

Seria said, "Of course, Host. The system you possess is called the DNF Sign-In System, and I am the system elf. You should know who I am—the one you are thinking of. However, I am not an Apostle, merely a system elf."

"As for the sign-in system, as its name suggests, you need to sign in every day. Each sign-in grants one system point. Signing in for thirty days will grant a Monthly Sign-In Gift Pack. At the current stage, the only source of points is signing in. Once the system is formally activated, there will be a mission system, and points can then be obtained through more varied methods."

"System points are the currency used in the sign-in system's shop. You need points to buy things from the system shop. Aside from randomly refreshing five items every day, the shop also has special holiday gift packs and special item refreshes. Holiday gift packs and special items do not take up one of the five random item slots."

"The system also comes with a Portable Space. Its size can be expanded with points. It initially held ten cubic meters and currently holds one hundred cubic meters."

After hearing Seria's introduction, Wu Liang immediately asked, "So the original host never truly activated the system in all six years?"

"That's right. Otherwise, the original host would not have been so miserable that he had no choice but to drag you here to replace him," Seria said.

"What do you mean by that? You sound like you dislike me. Hmm?" Wu Liang said darkly.

Seeing Wu Liang's sinister expression, Seria was startled and hurriedly said, "No, Host, that is not what I meant. I had no choice. My first host's soul has already scattered completely. You are now my host, and we are one. How could I dislike you? Wouldn't disliking you be the same as disliking myself? How could I do something so foolish?"

After hearing that, Wu Liang thought it made sense. Who would dislike themselves? Still, according to his memories, he seemed to be a city lord. Unsure, Wu Liang asked Seria, "Seria, did the previous owner get something incredible from the monthly gift packs?"

"Yes, Host. As of today, the original host had signed in for a total of 2,160 days. Here, thirty days count as one month. He had seventy-two Monthly Sign-In Gift Packs. He had already opened sixty-seven of them, leaving five unopened."

"Since the original host had spent all his points, there are none left. Most of the items obtained from the boxes were points and consumables. The most useful item was Sky City from DNF."

"There is also a maid from another world. The maid is Kanna, from the x Maid of x Family. She is currently in the city lord's palace within Sky City. Sky City is located above Holy Soul Village, within the clouds. It is currently concealed by an array. If you wish to return to Sky City, simply activate the Sky City Mark on the back of your left hand to teleport back," Seria said.

After hearing Seria's explanation, Wu Liang finally confirmed that the memory was not wrong. It was all real. Then he asked, "Seria, when will the system truly activate?"

"Because you have already reached the age where you can awaken your martial soul, Host, the system can be activated at any time. It is just that the original host will never see it. Sigh..."

Seria sighed within Wu Liang's mind. She had feelings for her previous host. After all, she had watched him grow up and had done everything she could to help him, but regulations prevented her from doing more.

"Is that so? Then what are we waiting for? Activate it already!" Upon hearing Seria say that, Wu Liang immediately told her to activate it.

Seria said, "At the Host's request, the DNF Sign-In System is formally activating. Activating..."

Seria said, "11050100."

Seria said, "Activation successful. Host binding successful. Mission module activated. Shop module formally activated. Custom module formally activated. Automatic sign-in function activated."

As soon as Seria finished speaking, a panel automatically appeared in Wu Liang's mind.

Wu Liang closed his panel, then heard the system notification beside his ear.

System: "The Douluo Continent storyline is about to begin. Main mission activated."

Main Mission: Arrive at the Central Spirit Hall of Holy Soul Village with Tang San to awaken your martial soul.

Mission Reward: Randomly gain one martial soul, 100 points.

Looking at the mission, Wu Liang felt that a martial soul and one hundred points were practically being handed to him for free. Satisfied, he closed the mission tab and system panel. When he opened his eyes, he saw that Tang San had finished cultivating.

Seeing Tang San walk over, Wu Liang stood up and brushed the grass clippings from himself. "Tang San, done cultivating? Shouldn't you be going home to be a nanny now?"

Hearing Wu Liang say that, Tang San smiled awkwardly. "A Liang, stop teasing me. Hasn't it been like this for more than two years? Never mind that. My father should be getting up too. Are you going home?"
