Endless Systems
Chapter 01

“Uuuh ..”

The pain in his head made him so dizzy. Both eyes opened slowly, looking left and right.

“What happened?”

He muttered in surprise as if nothing strange had just happened. As soon as his two eyes became clear, Xiao Shan was stunned silently looking at the surroundings.

“Eh? Me ... this ... where is it?”

Xiao Shan, who previously remembered himself dead, was shot by Dong Qian after successfully thwarting his malicious project. But no trace of him gave him a clue where he was.

The infirmary? No. gabe.

A home? No. gabe.

The office? No. gabe.

It was a boundless black space that bound it like there was no end. As far as the eyes tried to look, Xiao Shan could not find the end. He woke up in the middle of the darkness as if he had swallowed it.

“Hei ... ?”

His voice echoed loudly as if the room was really spacious and empty. Even if he spoke, no one came to understand him.

“Uwa, scary. Feel in brackets in the room without limits.”

He was alone in that place. However, after looking at the place it did look like a boundless space.

Shortly after, he recalled how he had died. He was cornered by a number of people from Dong Qiao. And ended up shot dead by him after successfully retrieving confidential data.

He who is aware that he is dead realizes that there is no answer other than him has now reached the end of his life journey. How about how many people say where humans will die and go to the afterlife.

“This ... world hereafter?”

It's pitch-dark. No one was there. Xiao Shan was completely unable to sense the existence of anyone other than himself.

“Gosh. I never thought the afterlife would be so lonely. Where are the people who have committed crimes?”

As Xiao Shan was speaking nonsense to himself, suddenly a voice of the same woman before he actually died again rang out in the black room.

[Welcome, mister Xiao Shan]

“Eh, wh-who?!”

Xiao Shan turned his head left and right not finding a figure saying those words. He who thought that the one who spoke was a woman of human form, was shocked when he saw a virtual panel that appeared before him with the writing followed by the same voice.

[Scanning player data ]

[ Process starts :1%]

That percentage number keeps increasing over time. Jun looked at him which resembled the loading screen form of a game in general was tilting his head in confusion.

“What is this?”

Shortly after, the system stopped

[Requirements for starting the Endless System have been accepted ]

[Asking for a reconfirmation of the player ]

[Convinced to start an Endless System program? ]

[ Yes / No ]

With a female voice as well as a virtual panel that had suddenly appeared before him, making Xiao Shan still confused.

“Tu-wait a minute. What is Endless System program?”

“A torture program in the afterlife?! Then I don't want.”

Ting!

The Virtual Panel that appeared before him hit the previous panel and gave the writing accompanied by the woman's voice.

[The Endless System program is a special program that is given to the player to restart his life in a different world. Mr. Xiao Shan, you have been selected as a player after reaching death and fulfilling the access to perform this program ]

Although the brief explanation was heard clearly by him, but Xiao Shan was shocked when he heard the word ‘ restarted the life of’.

“Restart ... life? Is this a joke?”

The voice of the woman did not answer her question. It made Xiao Shan bow silently with his head trying to understand the situation he was in.

“(Reincarnation? Is that really real? Is it possible that I was dreaming and am playing a game?)”

The hesitant thought inside his head made Xiao Shan not come to any conclusion. He shook his head as if trying to clear his brain. And as he looked around the black room, he became understanding.

What he doubted was that he could no longer speak because he was already speaking in the voice of a woman and a virtual panel answering his words.

Xiao Shan again pulled his gaze forward where the virtual panel was located. He scratched the back of his head while clicking his mouth repeatedly.

“Ah, fuck. Dream or not, I don't care,” Xiao Shan muttered

His hands that began to lift were getting closer towards the virtual panel. And when her index finger pressed the ‘Ya’ button, the female voice called the system spoke to her again.

[Access received ]

[Happy start your journey, mister Xiao Shan]

[Endless System Program, enabled ]

The virtual panel disappeared from before him. And, Xiao Shan's own body also began to fade like small particles that melted with empty air until it was gone.

He lifted his body and positioned himself to sit down. When Xiao Shan saw the entire room filled with carvings and traditional objects from the Chinese historical period.

Xiao Shan who was still unable to clearly know what had happened to him, made him recall the thing that the system had done to him. His body only disintegrated into thousands of particles, and when he realized he was already in a traditional room.

He tried to rub his eyes together to see more clearly. The head and eyes that were bowed down were shocked when they opened and saw a slightly different body.

“Eh, my body?!”

Xiao Shan was surprised because his body at that time had much smaller muscles compared to the body he used to see. Especially the muscles in the abdomen that should look stocky, now it disappears and only looks a little.

“What happened?”

“Ackh!”

Suddenly, a strong stinging pain began to spread in his head. His entire head at that time was smashed by various kinds of memory pieces that were forced into his brain.

Xiao Shan had now incarnated into the world of a ruthless cultivator. The world is filled with mystical powers and deep energies that are used to measure one's honor and greatness. Those with great talent and power will be increasingly respected. However, for those who would not become weak humans whose lives would be on par with slaves.

The cultivation level was divided into 9 tiers with 5 stars in each level :

Junior fighter

Senior Fighter

Elite Fighters

Teacher Fighters

General fighter

Masters

Combat King

Combat Emperor

Combat God

Now, Xiao Shan was reincarnated into the body of a 20-year-old youth named, Liu Shan. Liu Shan was the young master of the Liu Shan family in Feng city. He was known as a useless young master due to his ability to fail to cultivate.

In that world, cultivation is everything. For the sake of raising one's degree, they should be able to cultivate and also reach a high level.

In the past, Liu Shan was respected by many people and respected. His ability in cultivating was truly extraordinary. In general, one can break through the level of a first-star junior fighter at the age of 13.

However, Liu Shan at the age of 14 had already reached the level of a four-star junior fighter. His ability in increasing drastically it became a pride to exit Li to get a talented heir.

But one day, all that just disappeared. At the age of 16, Liu Shan's body developed a disease called meridian freezing. The meridians that were considered to be the energy traffic of a cultivator's body, were now frozen in Liu Shan's body and rendered his body unable to cultivate anymore.

The entire honor Liu Shan had gained was lost in the blink of an eye. Both from the residents of Feng city, his friends, and also his lover who had become his own fiancee also broke off relations with him.

The life of favor he had now disappeared and was replaced with endless humiliation every time he went out of the Li family residence.

The memory that Xiao Shan had clearly understood back then made him shocked at how cruel the world was.

“So like that, the past of this body owner ...”

Xiao Shan who knew this also felt a strong empathy for the owner of the body. And as someone who had now replaced his position, Xiao Shan was firm and promised him and himself.

“Rest in peace, Liu Shan. Secret agent Xiao Shan, will reverse all insults you have received!”
