Wang, No, Chosen Evolution Space Welcomes You

Chapter 1 Wang... Oh, no, Chosen Evolution Space Welcomes You

The moon was dark, the wind howled, and lightning flashed.

In the center of a graveyard filled with low hills, withered trees, and tombstones, a burly, mustachioed man wearing only strawberry-patterned underwear, his features twisted in pain, was "intimately" pressed against a delicate and elegant woman in a pure white princess dress.

Just then, the sky darkened again, and a gigantic Western fantasy red demon emerged from the dark void.

Its appearance nearly suffocated the mustachioed man and the White Dress Princess below.

The mustachioed man struggled to get up and tried to pull the princess behind him, while the princess, though trembling all over, quickly adopted a stubborn expression as she looked at the monster in the sky.

But it was all in vain. The huge red demon, wings spread wide, swooped down towards the ground with immense power.

The wind roared, and the princess screamed.

In the blink of an eye, the princess had vanished, and the mustachioed man was sent flying three meters away in a cloud of blood mist, crashing heavily to the ground.

The perspective shifted again, and the demon was already back in the sky, holding the petite princess, its cruel and mocking gaze fixed on the Strawberry Underwear Bearded Knight, whom it had just severely injured again.

This time, he had no chance.

Completely disregarding the princess's cries in its arms, the demon wrapped its wings around itself and the princess, then vanished completely into the darkness.

At the same time, on a low hill with a dozen graves not far from the scene, a group of humans of varying heights, builds, and attire, with different expressions, erupted in a startling, yet strangely confined, cacophony of noise.

"Who the hell are you people? Where is this place?!"

"I'm telling you, this is a society ruled by law now. Kidnapping and extortion are illegal... Don't do anything rash and turn to a life of crime!"

"Damn! Look! Holy crap, a dead guy! And it's a naked foreigner! Quick, quick, quick~ Where's your phone? Film it!"

"Idiot! There's a monster in the sky, and you're filming this dead thing? What the hell for?!"

"Hey, you think that monster snatched that chick to take her back and breed?"

"Is this some kind of goblin thing?"

"...Two bottles of beer and half a pound of white liquor, and I'm already hallucinating? My alcohol tolerance has really gone down."

"Ahhh!!!" (Pause) "Ah!!!!"

There were questions, pleas, gawkers, and screamers. The scene was a chaotic mess, with most people shouting but failing to communicate effectively with each other—

Until a gunshot, which should have echoed through the graveyard, rang out.

Most Chinese people aren't particularly sensitive to the sound of gunfire, but when the sound is close at hand, and you can see the smoking muzzle of the gun, most people know better than to argue.

Everyone fell silent instantly, including the half-drunk guy questioning his life. Some people only managed a short "Ah" before instinctively covering their mouths.

"Now, shut up. I'll talk, you listen. One extra word, got it?"

One of the only two people who stood out from the crowd, an older guy in chainmail that looked like it belonged in a cosplay convention, his skin an eerie shade of green, sat on a tombstone, smoking a cigarette and waving the gun around the crowd.

The group didn't dare to breathe loudly, trying to avoid the gun that was already waving around.

The other person who stood out was Cheng Tian, wearing only a pair of shorts and slippers, looking like he'd just stepped out of his bathroom.

Not only was he the least dressed, but he was also the only one who hadn't said a word from the beginning.

Cheng Tian wasn't talking because he was deep in thought, oblivious to the noise around him, until the gunshot.

While everyone else was freaking out about the sudden and inexplicable transmigration, Cheng Tian's mind immediately latched onto a keyword the moment he saw the Strawberry Underwear Bearded Man, the purple-haired princess, and the red demon in the center of the graveyard—

Demon Village.

He even knew the version: the opening animation of the NES game Ghosts 'n Goblins.

However, the scene before him differed greatly from the opening animation in his memory.

Arthur, the knight who was supposed to be the kingdom's savior, should have donned his armor again after the demon kidnapped the princess and charged into the Demon King's Castle to rescue her.

But judging by the blood and foam bubbling from Arthur's mouth, lying on the ground, barely alive... was he about to die?

Cheng Tian's mind was completely filled with information about Ghosts 'n Goblins. He didn't join in the surrounding noise and remained unusually quiet, which didn't escape the notice of the green-skinned older guy, who gave him a few extra glances.

"Alright, everyone, look over here."

The older guy knocked the tombstone under his butt twice with the muzzle of his gun, and everyone obediently looked over.

As he knocked, the weathered surface of the tombstone began to peel away on its own.

Then, the surface of the tombstone began to display lines of text like an e-ink screen.

The surface of the tombstone was completely plunged into darkness, and some people with slower reading speeds didn't even manage to read everything.

And more people were just filled with confusion and disbelief.

Two of them clearly knew each other. The young guys who were trying to record Arthur and the demon were both showing excited expressions after a brief moment of thought.

"Dude! Is this for real? We really transmigrated?"

The young guy with the phone seemed to have read a lot of web novels and had a relatively clear understanding of his current situation. He was so excited that he had already forgotten the gun in the green-skinned guy's hand and his earlier warning, so—

Bang!

Accompanied by the sound of gunfire and an uncontrollable cry of pain, the young guy became a one-eared man.
