System?

In a boundless expanse of darkness, Qin Shaofeng huddled there, teetering on the brink of despair. There was no light, no warmth, and the silence all around him was terrifying, as if the darkness were about to swallow everything.

He had tried to find his way out, but this place seemed to have no end. He could only yield to the darkness, as if afraid to face its endless depths, or perhaps praying for a miracle to come.

Qin Shaofeng had some idea why he had ended up in this strange place. Before arriving here, he had lost several games in a row and was in a foul mood, so he had found an invincible version of a little game to cheer himself up. But just as he was getting into it, a prompt appeared demanding payment. Qin Shaofeng got so worked up that he knocked over his cup. Water splashed onto the power strip beside him, and then he lost consciousness. When he woke up, he was here...

"Ding-dong!"

"System loaded successfully!"

[Click "Start" to enter the system interface and begin your glorious career!]

System loaded successfully?

Hearing the sudden, robotic voice beside him made Qin Shaofeng's heart leap. In this silent place, where it seemed no sound could exist, the sudden voice startled him like a bird flushed from its nest. Then, he couldn't help thinking of a possibility.

And that possibility was soon confirmed.

With a whoosh, phantom interfaces sprang up all around Qin Shaofeng, forming a square that enclosed him.

Looking at the interface before him, Qin Shaofeng felt that everything had become even more mysterious.

The phantom interface ahead continued to flicker.

Especially the "Start" at the very bottom.

But when he fixed his gaze on that bottom line of text, he noticed a golden note appear beside it.

He couldn't help reading it.

"(Don't waste time. Hurry up and click Start. P.S. This is your first strategy tip.)"

Qin Shaofeng looked away and walked forward, trying to escape the phantom interface's enclosure.

The phantom interface moved along with him.

The phantoms on all four sides were completely impenetrable. There were no gaps or exits.

"Ah, looks like I can only try clicking 'Start.'"

Qin Shaofeng sighed and reluctantly accepted the situation. This time, the phantom interface didn't move with him.

He reached out and tapped the word "Start" on the phantom interface.

The entire interface suddenly lit up.

"Buzz!"

The space around him began to twist, then ultimately turned dark once more.

Just as Qin Shaofeng was feeling uncertain—

The phantom interface appeared again.

"Congratulations, player! You are experiencing the Infinite Journey World system. Begin your heaven-defying journey and set out on an infinite expedition!"

"Dear player, we will now load the regional module and generate your initial attributes..."

Player: Qin Shaofeng

Level: None

Inner Qi Points: 0

Skills: None

Battle Beast: None

Equipment: None

Points: None

Looking at the somewhat familiar interface before him, Qin Shaofeng became completely certain: that game, the so-called Infinite Journey World, had come along with him.

In fact, the real culprit behind Qin Shaofeng's current predicament was that very game.

While he was distracted—

The phantom interface changed, fading away as if it had turned intangible.

Darkness surrounded him once more; he couldn't see his hand in front of his face.

A few seconds later, a beam of light descended from above, illuminating Qin Shaofeng.

Then the surrounding scenery changed abruptly.

Darkness gradually gave way to light.

Blurred forms gradually came into focus...
