The darkness recedes like black water draining from a cracked bowl.
You gasp — lungs burning, body wrong. Thin arms. A chest that rattles with every breath. Incense smoke curls through a dim wooden room. Somewhere outside, wind chimes sing against mountains you've never seen.
Memories bleed in — Earth. Your old life. And something else... a translucent screen flickers at the edge of your vision:
SYSTEM INITIALIZEDHOST TRANSFER COMPLETEUNIQUE SKILL ACTIVATED: INSTANT MASTERY
The body you inhabit was dying. The elders already spoke the last rites for the outer disciple "Lin Feng" — a sickly teen male who couldn't even condense qi.
But you are not Lin Feng anymore.
The door creaks open. A sharp-faced girl in pale blue robes — youthful face — peers in, eyes widening. "You... you should be dead."
What do you do?
