A Beggar from the Start-System, Save Me!

Beginning as a Beggar, System Save Me!

"Jade Emperor, Bodhisattva, Buddha, God, Allah, Shiva..."

"Will any of you save me? Why is my life so bitter--"

In a dark, damp small alley on the west side of Heaven Dou City, Jiang Yu leaned back against the wall and shouted toward the sky with a breakdown in expression.

One day ago, he had just boarded a flight with classmates for an overseas trip after graduating from high school. As the flight soared over the Pacific Ocean, a song See You Again suddenly played in the cabin, and Jiang Yu felt at that moment that something terrible was about to happen. Events unfolded precisely as he anticipated.

That was right, he had crashed.

Opening his eyes once more, he arrived on the Douluo Continent.

He had even landed precisely in the era of The Ultimate Douluo, which possessed the highest clearing difficulty among the first three installments of the Douluo series!

During this era, Tang San had long since become the high and mighty Divine Realm Enforcer, constantly spying anytime and anywhere on the Douluo Continent that had become his personal backyard. He had even forcibly intervened in the fate of the Son of Life naturally nurtured by the plane, ultimately training him into a loyal dog of the Tang family.

Yet this was not what caused Jiang Yu to break down the most.

Since he transmigrated into The Ultimate Douluo, his background and identity should at least have been somewhat decent.

Setting aside the Sea God Pavilion and Body Sect, it should at the very least have been a royal or noble status, right?

Yet what was Jiang Yu's identity right now?

He was a beggar!

Furthermore, he was a bottom-tier little beggar among all beggars!

Jiang Yu looked down. His current body was as thin as a firewood stick, his arms and legs frighteningly scrawny. The only tattered garment used for modesty was full of holes and dirt, vaguely revealing bruised or freshly scabbed scars across his pitch-black skin underneath.

Even with the help of a small puddle beside him, Jiang Yu still could not make out what his face looked like.

For no other reason than that his face was also caked with a thick layer of grime. Combined with a mess of unkempt hair, one could only barely recognize it as a human face from its general outline.

After holding a single posture for too long, Jiang Yu shifted his body slightly, but at that exact movement, a wave of piercing pain surged simultaneously through his body and internal organs.

Jiang Yu sucked in a cold breath. The intense pain coupled with an extremely weak body nearly caused him to faint on the spot, but fortunately he managed to endure it in the end.

Although the sharp pain made Jiang Yu want to curse, it cleared his chaotic brain and thoughts slightly.

He sorted through the memories in his mind, then discovered a major problem in shock.

He seemed to have transmigrated not just by soul, but in body as well.

Because there was a fragmented memory in his mind of being in an enclosed yet warm environment, only he seemed to have forgotten all of it afterward, and then lived in a daze until the age of six.

Last night, he had been fortunate enough to receive several fragrant and soft steamed buns given by a kind restaurant owner. Just as he prepared to feast, he was caught red-handed by three teenage big beggars.

What followed was simple.

How could a mere six-year-old Jiang Yu be a match for the three of them? Not only was his food snatched away, but he also suffered a brutal, inhuman beating. He was battered all over with injuries and ultimately passed out in this alley.

Perhaps the threat of starvation and death stimulated his soul. Upon waking up, Jiang Yu's memories recovered, and his entire person regained a sliver of strength as if experiencing a final burst of vitality before death.

Figuring this out, Jiang Yu's body trembled uncontrollably.

He had originally thought he had only endured a single day of hardship, but it turned out to have been six years. Now that his memories were completely connected, the recollections of the past six years also fully returned. The arduous experiences of wandering everywhere and begging for food with the old beggar who had died of illness two months ago flashed before his eyes like a slide show.

Just as Jiang Yu's consciousness reached its absolute limit, a soft blue light suddenly lit up out of nowhere directly above his head.

That blue light seemed to possess a soothing effect. Under its illumination, Jiang Yu's brain, which had felt on the verge of exploding, slowly recovered, and even the flow of his thoughts became smooth once more.

The next instant, a pleasant electronic female voice suddenly rang out:

[Ciallo~]

[Host age has reached six years old detected, the system is late but it has arrived! Transmigration welfare has been distributed!]

[Information transmission complete, the original world will wishes you a pleasant life in the future! May you have a son early!]

[Bye-bye~]

"Wait a minute!"

At the critical moment, Jiang Yu burst out with all his strength and roared.

The blue light cluster, which had already begun to fade, froze, and then a giant question mark slowly popped up above it.

"Six years! A full six years! Do you know how I survived these past six years!?"

Jiang Yu stared fixedly at the blue light cluster, his voice extremely hoarse from excitement.

[Enmmm, it was probably just begging for leftovers, scavenging trash, drinking sewage, and getting driven away and beaten up, something like that.]

The blue light cluster pondered for a moment, and then the electronic female voice sounded once more.

Jiang Yu: "..."

Suppressing the monstrous resentment about to explode within his chest, Jiang Yu took a deep breath, and then slowly said:

"Although you gave me two unawakened martial souls, do you think that with this body of mine I can crawl out of this alley? Even if I managed to crawl out, what should I do? Am I supposed to shout like a lunatic that I am a genius with twin martial souls and tell you all to come save me?"

"What's more, speaking is already exhausting for me right now, let alone shouting."

"Since you're already here, you might as well see this through to the end as a system. At least give me a way to survive..."

That was right. Just after the system's voice fell, an extra memory had appeared in Jiang Yu's mind.

That memory told him that he had obtained the character template of Spacetime Douluo Xie Xie from the era of The Legend of the Dragon King. After martial soul awakening, he would possess the Twin Martial Souls Light Dragon Dagger and Shadow Dragon Dagger, along with the talent of Innate Full Soul Power.

However!

The Ultimate Douluo was no longer the era of Douluo I from ten thousand years ago, when Spirit Hall personnel went to the countryside to awaken martial souls for free. Commoners in this era couldn't even dream of martial soul awakening, and some didn't even know what a martial soul was!

A genius who grew up would become a powerhouse, but a genius who didn't grow up was just a genius.

As for a bottom-feed outcast like Jiang Yu, let alone a martial soul awakening that catapulted him into a super genius, he was barely struggling to survive past today!

Hearing Jiang Yu's words, streams of information rippled within the blue orb of light. Finally, it nodded in a humanized gesture, and then spoke again:

[Since that's the case, this system will be thorough to the end and grant you a path to survival.]

As it spoke, a wave of blue light shone upon Jiang Yu once more, but this time the blue light carried a few golden speckles. After these golden speckles merged into Jiang Yu's body, Jiang Yu only felt a surge of heat throughout his whole body. A warm current flowed along his meridians through all his limbs and bones, and the two martial souls within his body were thoroughly awakened along with it.

When Jiang Yu raised his head to look again, the blue orb of light had already vanished, replaced by a blue panel that was gradually fading away.

[Self-Rescue Mission]

[Use your martial souls to kill the three beggars who bullied you yesterday within half an hour; your own fortuitous encounter will descend afterward.]

Jiang Yu was slightly stunned, and then his gaze abruptly turned dark.
