"Esteemed Lord, enjoy your game. If you have any questions, please consult the system tutorial!"

Li Dian's mind was in a chaotic mess. A sudden coolness washed over him, clearing his head, and he slowly opened his heavy eyelids.

He rubbed his still throbbing head, mumbling, still a bit dazed, "What a strange dream."

"Why does my head hurt so much?" The discomfort made him incredibly confused. Did I die from playing too much?

As an avid gamer, he often pulled all-nighters, playing without sleep. Although he greatly feared sudden death, he still couldn't resist the allure of games.

He squinted his eyes and walked towards the door, not even noticing that his surroundings had completely changed.

With a grating creak, a sound that set his teeth on edge, goosebumps instantly rose on Li Dian's skin.

His eyes, unaccustomed to sunlight after so long, struggled with the brightness. He squinted, slowly adjusting to the sun outside.

Though his eyes weren't fully open, everything before him was clearly unfamiliar. The cluttered hallway he knew wasn't there. He seemed to be on a stone rooftop, with bright sunlight shining directly on him.

In the distance were patches of yellowish wheat with some green mixed in, but mostly vast expanses of green grass. Occasionally, cows wandered by the river, leaving piles of droppings as they leisurely strolled.

Not far away, a group of about a hundred white sheep walked past, driven by a shepherd.

Just then, two armored men suddenly turned their heads. Seeing him awake, they beamed with joy and said, "Thank the Holy Father, praise the Holy Father! Baron, you're finally awake! Those lawbreakers who deserve to go to hell will be hanged on the gallows by the Baron sooner or later!"

Looking at the two men, Li Dian felt a strange sense of familiarity. "Rad, Bell?"

"Yes, my Lord! I'll go and inform everyone of your awakening right away, so they can also pray to the Holy Father for your recovery!"

With that, the two men sprinted off the rooftop.

Li Dian watched their departing figures. Along with the faint, persistent ache in his head, fragmented memories gradually surfaced in his mind.

"Reiner Morland…"

He mumbled, "Don't tell me… I transmigrated?" A wave of ecstasy immediately washed over him.

As a straight man and a gaming recluse, he loved playing games. Unlike others, he was obsessed with single-player games.

The Medieval series, Roman series, Age of Empires series, Stronghold series, Attila series, Mount & Blade, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, and even niche Paradox games like Crusader Kings were all objects of his obsession.

As an orphan, he had little social life. All his wages, apart from rent, utilities, and other necessities, were spent on games. Coupled with reading countless novels, he had an intense desire for transmigration.

Combining all the signs, Li Dian… no, Reiner, was absolutely certain that he had transmigrated.

He felt no nostalgia for his past world; instead, he was incredibly excited about life here.

"So, that voice just now wasn't an illusion?"

Reiner's heart pounded. If it wasn't an illusion, then it meant he truly had a Cheat System, just like the protagonists in transmigration novels.

With such a heaven-defying Cheat System, how could I still be ordinary? Reiner thought.

"System?" he tentatively called out. If this thing truly existed, then he would be invincible.

"Yes, esteemed Lord, please issue your command!"

A mechanical, emotionless electronic voice echoed in Reiner's mind.

He slammed his hand onto the hard stone wall, biting down hard to keep himself from shouting. The joy in his heart was simply boundless.

"Why am I here?" Suppressing the urge to cheer, Reiner asked. He still wanted to understand the reason for his presence here.

"A multidimensional explosion caused the game data in your computer to materialize, which is how I came to be. My mission is to help you become a powerful lord in this world and create your own glorious legacy."

"What can I do now?" Reiner nodded, then asked excitedly.

"Reporting, Lord, you currently have the above items available to materialize!"

Reiner looked at the string of text and accompanying images before him, feeling as if a blazing fire was burning within his heart.

Suppressing his excitement, he said to the system with a trembling voice, "Three days from now… materialize five Crimson Gryphon Knights!"

"Understood, Lord. Five Crimson Gryphon Knights will join your ranks in three days' time, with a reasonable explanation," the system replied in its usual emotionless, mechanical electronic voice.

"Wait!" Reiner suddenly reacted. He realized he had been unconscious, and it was due to human interference. Could there be some hidden truth he didn't know about?

Just then, a flurry of hurried footsteps sounded, and several people ran onto the rooftop.

Leading them was a man in civilian clothes, who looked somewhat similar to Reiner, likely a relative of his.

Following behind him were a boy of about thirteen or fourteen, a little girl of seven or eight, and several sword-wielding knights in light armor.

"Praise the Holy Father, Little Reiner, you're finally awake!" the woman exclaimed excitedly. From the previous owner's memories, Reiner knew this was the body's mother.

"Good! It's good that you're awake! I'll definitely lead the army to wipe out those damned bandits!" The middle-aged man came up to Reiner, patting his shoulder with a broad hand, speaking in an annoyed tone. He then composed himself and began to carefully observe his nephew, who had been traveling since the age of twelve and was now nearly as tall as him.

As Reiner's father's brother, he had taken over part of the Morland's affairs after his father's accidental death, assisting Reiner's mother in managing the territory.

He was truly loyal to Reiner's family. Reiner also had some impressions of this upright uncle in his memories, so he didn't reject this uncle, whom he had barely met.

"Brother Reiner! You're finally awake! I thought… I thought something had happened to you!" The younger boy behind him kept wiping away tears and sobbing. It was clear he had a strong affection for this body.

"Ha! Of course, I'll be fine!" Reiner rubbed the back of his head, which was still a bit sore from where he'd been sleeping.

"But Little Wend, have you been diligently practicing your swordsmanship these past few years while I was away?"

"Of course! I'll become a qualified knight someday!" He stopped sobbing and said in a slightly choked but very resolute voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, the knights nearby began to laugh, and Reiner's mother also broke into a smile through her tears, rubbing his head and saying, "Little Wend will be your brother's best knight, won't he?"

This was Reiner's biological younger brother, born to his father and mother.

Meanwhile, the little girl standing nearby was timidly observing everything before her.

Seeing this, Reiner endured the feeling of weakness in his body, propped himself up, got out of bed, and walked over to the girl. He crouched down, stroked her head, and gently said, "This must be our little Fiana. Do you still remember Brother Reiner?"

Reiner's memories were becoming clearer. Reiner was sixteen this year and had left home at twelve, meaning he had been away for four years. At that time, Fiana was only four years old, so it was difficult for her to be close to him.

Fiana looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar person before her, carefully nodded, and said in a childish voice, "I remember!"
