"Transmigration Diary"

"...I wonder if the Ancient Sun God will give Amon a proper lesson. Sigh, but I can't stay in this place anymore." Luo Lin shook his head, gathered up the Time Worms scattered across the ground, and did not linger in the area. He swiftly packed his belongings and prepared to flee.

Although the Ancient Sun God had sealed off the space when beating up Amon, the seal had now been lifted. Who knew whether official Beyonders or Amon's main body might come looking for him? Luo Lin felt that it would be better to live somewhere else.

As for any subsequent tracking—mystical tracking, that was—Luo Lin was not worried. As a vessel for Naya's power, it would be strange indeed if the Beyonders of this world could divine his whereabouts.

As for physical traces, Luo Lin, who had once had extensive experience being tracked, naturally knew how to erase them completely.

By the time the official Beyonders noticed something was wrong and came to investigate Luo Lin's former residence, he had already blended into the complicated metropolis of Backlund like a drop of water.

That afternoon, a house on some street in Hillston Borough welcomed a new resident.

After seeing off the maid he had temporarily hired to help clean the house, Luo Lin shut the doors and windows, put away the freshly cleaned beakers and other tools, then took out a small suitcase. From it, he retrieved pure water, Golden Mint leaves, colchicum essence, elf flowers, and other ingredients.

These were all supplementary ingredients needed to prepare the "Troublemaker" potion. Finally, he took an iron cigarette case from the small suitcase. Upon opening it, he saw a Time Worm lying quietly inside.

There was naturally more than one Time Worm left behind after Amon's Avatar self-destructed, but Luo Lin had put the others away for easier use next time.

However, Luo Lin did not immediately begin preparing the "Troublemaker" potion. Instead, he took out the final item in the small suitcase: an aged-looking blank notebook, with several large Chinese characters written on its title page—"Transmigration Diary."

Luo Lin then opened the notebook, revealing a contemplative expression, as if he were constructing the plot of a story in his mind. A few seconds later, a pleased smile curled across his lips, and he wrote the following on the first page:

"June 29, sunny.

It has been three days since I came to this world. No matter how unwilling I am to admit it, I have no choice but to acknowledge one thing: I transmigrated into another world, and I can't go back.

Well, so many people transmigrate in this world. It doesn't seem particularly strange for it to happen to me. Looking on the bright side, at least my current wealth means I don't have to worry about food or shelter. I can lie flat and skip decades of detours."

"June 30, cloudy.

I take back what I said yesterday. This world actually possesses extraordinary powers, and although my current identity appears to be nothing more than an ordinary young master from a wealthy family, I am actually a member of a mysterious occult family with a long heritage. My ancestors were once prosperous, and every generation produced Beyonders.

Good news: I can become a Beyonder, and I can even choose one of three pathways—Seer, Apprentice, or Marauder.

Bad news: I only just learned that our family has an incredibly powerful enemy called Amon, who will impartially eat every Soroast Family member he encounters.

This is hilarious. There is absolutely no way I can lie flat."

"July 1, overcast.

I have decided to become a Marauder, since this is the pathway our family has the most complete grasp of. As for the Apprentice and Seer pathways, the family only has the low- and mid-sequence portions. It will be much harder to continue advancing down them.

Although I don't think I will necessarily become a demigod, why make things difficult for myself when there is an easier path?

Besides, I heard that Amon eats Seers, Apprentices, and Marauders without discrimination."

"July 2, torrential rain.

I'm dead! I'm dead! I'm dead!

I ran into Amon! Ahhh! I almost got eaten, but fortunately, Amon is a pleasure-seeker and decided to raise me for a while before eating me once my Sequence gets higher.

I have to think carefully about how to run before he eats me.

Luckily, Amon doesn't understand Chinese. I can write down my thoughts and plans in Chinese, constantly filling in gaps and checking for oversights so I don't forget anything."

"Done!" Luo Lin put down his pen and looked with satisfaction at the diary he had just made up. The reason he had written these diary entries was, of course, none other than to disguise them as Rosell's Diary and sell them to Tarot Club members, using them to fool... no, to use the diary to warn a certain future Mr. Fool of dangers he might encounter, offer him a little help, and incidentally make up some stories about Amon.

Of course, depending on the situation in the future, he could also make up some stories about other people in the diary.

To be fair, Luo Lin was quite interested in Klein. He himself had never been much of a good person, which was why he especially appreciated genuinely good people like him.

It was precisely the existence of these good people that made Luo Lin feel the world was not quite so terrible, and that being alive was not such a bad thing.

Moreover, Klein, as the future Lord of Mysteries, was an excellent investment target. If Luo Lin built up some goodwill now, then three years later he could steadily borrow power at the half-Great Old One level. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

Therefore, Luo Lin naturally planned to get in touch with Klein, and he did not mind helping out where he could. Besides, Klein would never lack entertaining incidents or powerful figures around him, perfectly satisfying both of Luo Lin's needs at once.

Luo Lin even intended to casually reveal his identity as a fellow transmigrator when he came into contact with Klein, just to see how Klein would react.

He would probably be pleasantly surprised, but would not acknowledge him right away, choosing to observe him in secret first?

After all, Mr. Fool was a cautious man!

Thinking of this, Luo Lin chuckled, closed the diary and set it aside. He picked up a nearby beaker and held his right hand over it. The next second, accompanied by the faint sound of bubbles popping, a pale-blue, semi-transparent object the size of a baby's palm dropped into the beaker. It was the "Troublemaker" characteristic separated out by Yog.

Luo Lin stared at the beautiful Extraordinary characteristic for several seconds before meticulously beginning to prepare the Troublemaker potion. He first added pure water, colchicum essence, and other supplementary ingredients into the beaker one after another. Once all the ordinary materials had been added, he stuffed Amon's Time Worm inside as well.

The moment the Time Worm entered the beaker, the solution inside acquired a strange texture, like some kind of liquid gemstone. Luo Lin's expression did not change. He deftly added the final Troublemaker Extraordinary characteristic into the beaker.

"Gurgle—gurgle—"

As though some chemical reaction had occurred, the potion in the beaker turned into a chaotic darkness at that moment. Yet that dark color lasted only a second before silver-white replaced it. The patterns in the cup now resembled blooming flowers and the stars in the sky. The entire cup of potion displayed a chaotic yet dazzling beauty.

"It does look rather pretty, but it doesn't really look drinkable." Luo Lin gave the prepared Troublemaker potion an objective assessment. Then, without the slightest hesitation, he tipped his head back and downed the entire cup.
