A Bizarre Transmigration

Imperial Capital, Eastern District.

"A wonderful day begins when I get off work..."

Lin Lan was an ordinary corporate drone in the Imperial Capital, working as a PE teacher at a middle school.

Land in the Imperial Capital was worth its weight in gold. The rich were filthy rich, while the poor could barely keep themselves fed. Competition was brutal too, and Lin Lan himself had begun to think about leaving this heartless city.

Still, this job had not come easily, and it was at least leisurely.

He could forget about finding a girlfriend. Although Lin Lan had studied sports in college, and people always said dark-skinned sports students had enough girlfriends to fill a whole field, that was all bullshit. Though to be fair, some really did have only one strand of hair left on their heads as their girlfriend.

Lin Lan had only dated one girl in college. Naturally, he had been devoted and faithful.

As he walked down the street, Lin Lan mulled things over.

Something had felt off lately. He dreamed every night while sleeping—about Elemental Magic, Dimensional Magic...

But he had not paid much attention to it. He read novels whenever he had free time at work, so perhaps the plots had simply surfaced in his dreams.

It was already nighttime. A light rain fell from the sky, and the air was exceptionally fresh.

"Ring, ring~"

"Hello, son. How's the weather over there? Is work going well?"

Lin Lan was not in the habit of checking who was calling before answering. He picked up directly. Yep, he could tell from the voice that it was his mother.

"Mom! The weather's alright. It's just raining a little. Work's so-so."

Lin Lan answered normally, his tone relaxed.

"Then if it's raining and you don't have an umbrella, find somewhere to take shelter."

"How did you know I didn't bring an umbrella?"

It really was his mother's voice, but how did she know he had not brought an umbrella? Lin Lan was just about to check the caller ID.

Then, an unexpected change struck!

"Rumble—"

Thunder suddenly boomed above Lin Lan's head. The startling thunderclap was like the roar of a giant drum, shaking people to their core.

"Which fellow cultivator is undergoing tribulation here?"

When Lin Lan looked up, nine bolts of divine lightning plunged toward him through the night sky like icy daggers. In the blink of an eye, he collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

At that moment, two figures slowly drifted down from the sky. Like deities, they stood before Lin Lan's body and examined him. The woman had an adorable loli face and two little canine teeth.

"I told you not to make me call him. Wouldn't it have been easier to just strike him with lightning?"

"Faking that voice was exhausting."

The woman complained to the man, her cheeks puffed up in irritation.

"You're the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao, and you can still get angry? Of course I need to treat myself better. How could I just strike him directly?"

The man remained calm and composed. There was a trace of displeasure in his voice, but it was difficult to detect.

Only upon closer inspection did one realize that he looked seventy or eighty percent like Lin Lan. His face was like the first light of dawn, with handsome features and an elegant bearing. He was dazzling to look at, carrying an air of pride that stood above the world.

"Alright. The lightning body has already been passed on to him. Open a passage to the magic world for him."

"I've already arranged an identity for him over there. That world's will was initially somewhat hostile toward me, but it left after sensing the power on me."

"Once he returns, don't come to me again to deal with your mess."

"Lin Lan" spoke to the woman, his expression utterly cold.

The woman nodded. With a single swipe of her hand, a spatial rift suddenly appeared in the air. Within it lay a boundless universe of vast stars.

Then "Lin Lan" raised a hand. A phasing Power of Space emerged, enveloping Lin Lan's entire body and sending him drifting into those vast stars. The stars gleamed continuously, celestial bodies turned without end, and within the infinite darkness, a brilliant Milky Way seemed to come alive as it flowed endlessly. Lin Lan slowly traveled through it.

The Power of Space around Lin Lan seemed to contain time itself, and his face began to change as well.

Magic World, Bocheng, Wenyu Residential Community.

Lin Lan woke up on the floor and slowly got to his feet. The throbbing pain in his head told him this was not a dream. He had actually been struck to death by lightning!

"Thunder God Manifestation, or Tribulation Cultivation? And it had to implicate a tiny commoner like me. Heaven is unfair!"

Too strange—far too strange! Lin Lan was terrified, but at least he was still alive. He immediately forced his agitated heart to calm down.

"Phew~"

Lin Lan supported himself against the wall. Once his body recovered a little, he began inspecting the room, his gaze three parts curious and seven parts wary.

The bookshelf was packed with an impressive array of books, piquing Lin Lan's curiosity.

He casually picked one up. Six large words were written on the cover: Encyclopedia of Elemental Magic.

He picked up another: Introduction to Demons.

Alright, alright. It had to be a coincidence. Lin Lan tried to calm himself, but his slightly trembling hands betrayed him.

Two hours later.

Lin Lan wore an expression of acceptance. Yes, he had transmigrated. He had been struck by lightning into a magic world. Helpless, he slowly burned through his brain cells, thinking of the experiences of other transmigrators who had risen to the peak of life in search of comfort.

He took out several books to examine them. Their contents covered Elemental Magic, Dimensional Magic, White Magic, and Black Magic. Yet there were only a handful of science fiction novels on the bookshelf.

The house had four bedrooms and two living rooms. When he went downstairs, he found a group photo on the table. There were three people in it: Lin Lan and a married couple, all smiling happily.

It seemed transmigration even came with an identity. Those novels had never written about that! He could not remember anything at all, and Lin Lan frowned in frustration.

He went to wash his face. When he looked into the mirror, he found that he looked just as he had at sixteen. That youthful air had returned, and he was still just as handsome.

"Transmigration even comes with a de-aging feature?"

"Oh no!"

Lin Lan had been full of confusion, but suddenly remembered something. He hurriedly lowered his head to check. Thank goodness, thank goodness—it was the same.

Let's sort out the information: seven types of Elemental Magic, four types of Black Magic, four types of White Magic, and four types of Dimensional Magic. There was no sign of the Demon Element. Even if it existed, it probably could not be considered part of the normal categories of magic.

"Hmm~"

"This should be the world of Full-Time Magister. Unfortunately, I don't know what point in the plot it is. I need to find out before I can make my next plans."

This world was dangerous. Demons ran rampant, and human hearts were treacherous. If the demon tribes were not keeping one another in check, even humanity's last sanctuary would have been devoured.

The Black Vatican had slaughtered countless people. The Arbitration Council and the Holy City regarded rising geniuses as heretics. Anyone they could not control was wiped out. Danger and tyranny truly went hand in hand!

"The Lord of the Sahara Desert who rules the deserts; the Antarctic Emperor, ruler of the Antarctic ice and snow; the Sea God and Sea Emperor in the oceans, Great Cold Eye with its two divine eyes; the Kunlun Empire atop the Kunlun Mountains; the Dark King of the Dark Plane... They divide up the world among themselves. Humanity survives in the cracks between them. Everything is a future threat. Humanity is far too insignificant before them. Even pulling out any one of them at random would be a trial that could decide the life or death of the human race..."

"In this world, humanity's talent and wisdom no longer held an advantage. The leaders among demons possessed not only absolute strength, but intelligence comparable to that of humans. There were countless demons, but how many magisters did humanity have?"

"Ah..."

Thinking of the future, Lin Lan sighed. His most urgent task was still to quickly learn what stage the current plot was at before making plans.

Life's road was long, and Lin Lan's own path had now officially begun. The future was uncertain; he could only seize the day.

Lin Lan immediately sat at the desk, ready to write down the information he knew. The sound of his pen scratching across the page continued without pause...

How should I put it? This opening really wasn't written well, and it has some glaring issues. My abilities are limited, and it's difficult to revise the outline. You can treat this transmigration method like getting hit by a truck, but I'll definitely tie up this plot hole later.
