Nephilim

Fortunately, the benefits for the army of transmigrators had not been skimped on. Without the system, Zhou Shen truly had no idea how a modern man like him, devoid of any strength, could survive in the disaster-ridden world of Azeroth.

He reckoned that if he went out for a picnic, he would be snatched up as breakfast by spiders or bats.

At this moment, Zhou Shen felt a warm power flowing into his body. It felt as if he had returned to his mother's embrace, and so he slowly opened his eyes.

Just then, the woman named Karandra walked over, hugged Zhou Shen tightly with both hands, and spoke: "My son, you've finally woken up! I thought I had lost you. Promise me, stay away from your father from now on, and don't go doing those dangerous things again."

At this time, the person wearing the pristine white Priest robes said: "Tirion, Taelan is fine. I used Heal; he might have just been frightened and needs a good rest for a while. No strenuous exercise for the time being. I shall take my leave now; remember to find me if you need anything."

Zhou Shen looked at the familiar face of the middle-aged man, and a name sprang to his lips: Tirion Fordring, student of Alonsus Faol, one of the original Five Silver Hands, and the Highlord of Hearthglen.

Zhou Shen had considered himself incredibly familiar with World of Warcraft, but when he truly arrived in this world, he discovered it was not like that at all.

The world from a first-person perspective was completely different from sitting in front of a monitor. More importantly, he had not yet integrated the memories of this body.

In this room, he only recognized Tirion Fordring; he had heard of his wife, Karandra, but he didn't recognize anyone else.

How to survive here was a major problem. And the existence of that "cultivation system" must not be known to others. This world had magic and Old Gods. Until he sorted out the relationships, the best approach was to remain silent. After all, this body was only eight years old, and there was still a throbbing pain in his head.

Seeing Zhou Shen silent with a dazed look in his eyes, Karandra hugged him tightly: "My son, say something, please? You didn't hurt your brain, did you?"

"It's all your fault, Tirion!"

Seeing his wife's anger about to burn him again, Tirion quickly said: "Don't worry, Karandra, I know Archmage Antonidas of Dalaran! He must have a way! Let's see how things go in a few days; if Taelan is still like this, I will take him to Dalaran."

At this moment, a "ding" sounded in Zhou Shen's mind: "The gears of fate have begun to turn. You have changed fate, gaining five points of World Power. You have awakened the Power of Nephalem. You have gained one skill point and one attribute point."

"The attribute point has been automatically added to Stamina.

Stamina 24->25

Your health has increased by 10 points, and your resistance has slightly improved.

You now have 2 skill points."

Changed fate? Whose fate had he changed?

Right, his own! Since the father of this body was Tirion Fordring, then his current name must be Taelan Fordring! And what involved Taelan Fordring was precisely that deeply moving quest: In Dreams!

This was a quest almost everyone had completed, and it was one of the most classic quests in World of Warcraft! And it was a tragedy!

This was a good start. What he needed to do now was to understand his system, then find a way to make himself strong. He needed to survive in this world, and then try to change those tragedies. To make up for those regrets in World of Warcraft.

To save those who should be saved, and to send off those who should depart.

Watching his son endure the pain, Tirion Fordring said: "Dear, let's go out first and let Taelan get some rest. He will get better!"

Karandra gave Tirion a dissatisfied look. Muttering something, she tucked the blanket in for Taelan and then followed Tirion out.

Watching Tirion Fordring and Karandra leave, Zhou Shen, lying on the bed, impatiently called out in his mind: "System, are you there?"

"Present, the Nephalem Guidance System is at your service!"

A light screen appeared before Zhou Shen's eyes, very concise. It looked like they had saved on the budget, as it actually borrowed the style of Diablo II.

After a glance, Zhou Shen immediately understood. On the left was an angel holding a red orb, representing health; this red orb was half empty, clearly not fully recovered. It displayed 56/120, meaning his maximum health was 120. On the right, a demon holding a blue orb represented mana, displaying 95/95.

Then he noticed a row of tabs at the bottom: Character Status, Skills, Life Skills, Talents, Quests, and Inventory.

Zhou Shen first clicked on Character Status.

A simple 3D paper doll of the character appeared, and the information was presented before his eyes.

This...

Then Zhou Shen clicked on the skill tab, and he was stunned. He saw a book appear before him with four tabs: Defensive Auras / Offensive Auras / Combat Skills / Other Abilities.

This was not the spellbook of World of Warcraft, but the skill tree of Diablo II.

The first row of skills in Defensive Auras were Prayer and Resist Fire. Clicking on Combat Skills, the first row of skills were Sacrifice and the Paladin's premier divine skill, Mortal Strike.

There are five mainstream Paladin builds in Diablo II, the most popular being the Blessed Hammer, followed by the Zealot. There is also the Smiter, specialized for killing the six bosses, the Heaven-sent Paladin that emerged after the Fist of the Heavens rework, and finally, the Avenger, which focuses on Vengeance.

Because he would lose the equipment support of the Diablo world while in World of Warcraft, his best options were the physical-damage-focused Zealot route or the Smiter route. Both of these paths required learning Mortal Strike. He currently had two skill points, so he tried adding one to Mortal Strike:

Mortal Strike

Strikes the enemy with your shield, briefly stunning them.

Current Skill Level: 8

Damage +120%

Stun Duration: 2 seconds

Mana Cost: 2

Is the damage really this high? Why is it level 8?

Zhou Shen suddenly realized something.

He hurriedly opened his inventory. Sure enough, it was that familiar forty-slot bag! In the first slot lay a coin:

Small Charm of Destruction and Breaking

Quality: Legendary

Kept in inventory for significant additional benefits

+7 to all skills

100% better chance of getting magic items

It really was that charm; it had come along with him! It was because of this item that his computer exploded, bringing Zhou Shen to the world of Azeroth.

At the time, he had thought that carrying this would make the game boring very quickly. Now, seeing it again.

Hmm, I should have brought a dozen!

In this desperate world, this Small Charm was nothing short of a lifeline.

Without the equipment support of the Diablo world, it would have been difficult to survive, but now with this, he could at least raise his skill levels by a significant margin. Every single skill level would bring massive benefits.

He then opened his other skills. There were four skills recorded here; the first was called Every Man for Himself.

Every Man for Himself - Active skill, instant cast - 2-minute cooldown. Removes all movement-impairing effects and all effects which cause loss of control of your character.

The second was Perception.

Perception, passive racial trait, increases your stealth detection.

The third was Power of Nephalem.

Power of Nephalem, passive skill, awakens the skill tree, reduces the impact of control-type skills such as fear and Coercion. It also raises your attack and defense to Heroic level. Your attacks will not suffer additional damage reduction, and you will not take additional damage.

Below it was a line of yellow text: You are a noble Nephalem, no one can make you yield! You shall eventually master the ultimate power of the world!

The last one was Parry; when you use a weapon or shield, you have a certain chance to block a physical attack. It seems he could learn the skills of this world; all additionally learned skills and those brought by talents were recorded here.

Then Zhou Shen opened his life skills. There was no need to look closely here; there was only one skill inside:

Gourmet: The buff effects provided by food are increased by 10%.

You are a standard foodie!

It seems that no matter which world it is, Mother always takes good care of her son!
