"…The time has come; you should be leaving now."
"Huh?"
"From here on, you need to work hard on your own!"
"Wait! You should at least explain what exactly I need to… ahhhhh──!"
※※※
As I slowly opened my eyes, the world around me shifted from a blur to clarity.
I sat up in confusion and glanced around my surroundings—it seemed I was in an empty cave, with no immediate threats like venomous snakes or fierce beasts, so I should be safe for the moment.
First things first, let's assess the situation.
Regarding my own memories, based on my initial impressions… I actually couldn't recall exactly what had happened. All I knew was that during one of my deep sleeps, something must have triggered a change, and I ended up being transported to some sort of alternate dimension fantasy realm.
In that place, I was given a new identity and had a guide named Anyeah who taught me some essential skills necessary for survival in this world.
It felt a bit like receiving basic training in a game's starting village.
Then suddenly, without any warning, I was thrown into this place…
So, is this the end of the tutorial phase and the beginning of my quests?
Speaking of which, what exactly are these quests?
After waiting for a long time, there was no system indication sound in the air as usual in novels about traveling to another world. system? Is the system there? Can you make a sound? Hello? …Forget it, since there is no voice guidance, is there a control panel? Just as I was thinking about it, a translucent interface suddenly appeared before my eyes. Oh, yes! I took a casual look and found just the basic identity settings and skill bar, as well as a Spirit power value and a title bar that simply read "Progress Status: Starting Point", but I couldn't find any part related to the mission. In summary, this interface can only view its own status. This system is too simple! There are no instructions, so what should I do now? That’s right! Does the system allocate mission props or equipment? He lowered his head to look around himself to make sure that he didn't find any suspicious objects. He then carefully examined his entire body and finally found only three things in his left sleeve: a steamed bun, a bamboo tube filled with water, and five cents. ……that's all? No more? No more! It's really just the basic ration for a novice. Whose Starting Point equipment for crossing the world is more shabby than mine?
I suddenly raised my hand to rub my temples, feeling a headache coming on.
So now... what should I do?
I stood there, at a loss for quite some time, and with a sniffle, I couldn't help but frown.
To be honest, the smell in this cave was quite unpleasant. Amid the damp, decaying odor, there was also a metallic stench reminiscent of rust...
Perhaps I should first confirm what this place actually is.
I carefully looked around. Above me, there was a moderately sized hole in the rock that let in some light from above, casting a faint illumination into the dark cave. The interior of the black cavern was quite spacious but felt rather chaotic, as if it had been ransacked by someone. Fragments of broken talismans clung precariously to the stone walls, seemingly no longer effective. On the ground, there were several old rust-colored stains that appeared to be remnants of some kind of drawing...
The scene before me was indeed strange, yet it felt oddly... familiar?
Filled with confusion, I stood up and walked toward the direction where the metallic scent lingered.
Deep within the cave, I spotted a dark pool that seemed both black and red, murky and unclean. The strange odor must have been emanating from here.
On the surface of the water, a vague silhouette reflected back at me—a girl around fifteen or sixteen years old, of average height with an unremarkable face that one would easily forget after a glance. Her dark brown hair was tied back in a simple low ponytail at the nape of her neck, and she wore plain ancient-style clothing...
She was nothing more than an inconspicuous passerby.
This was the new identity bestowed upon me by the system.
I stared at my reflection for a while in silence, scratched my face, and turned to walk out of the cave.
Outside the cave was a pitch-black forest. The grass and leaves were all dark, and a heavy, oppressive atmosphere filled the air, making the scene before me appear particularly gloomy and foreboding.
Not far ahead, along the mountain path, a few dilapidated shacks were scattered about, clearly uninhabitable after years of wind and rain.
I walked slowly down the path, passing by the remnants of several destroyed Stone Beasts.
Standing beside one of the battered Stone Beasts, I gazed downwards and faintly discerned a high wall at the foot of the mountain, towering over ten feet. However, parts of that wall had already collapsed.
The area seemed devoid of human presence, with not a single sound to be heard, enveloped in profound silence.
...I probably don't need to look any further.
I turned around and walked back along the mountain path.
The answer was already quite clear.
Silently standing before the dark entrance at the end of the path, I couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh.
Based on this familiar sense of déjà vu, if I wasn't mistaken, this should be the "Demon Suppression Cave" mentioned in the novel "The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation," which I had recently finished reading.
This was a chance to transmigrate into a book! The kind of transmigration that one dreams about, yearns for, and longs to achieve!
Yet now, I truly couldn't muster any excitement...
Why?
Just look at this! What is this Starting Point?
This scene clearly indicated that it was after the second Potter's Field purge, right? Moreover, it had been quite some time since the purge was completed; the plot had basically run its course!
Whether it's to complete the mission or modify the plot, there's no room for intervention, right? I was completely in tears. It would be fine if I was transformed into an insignificant passerby, but now that the plot has ended and I can't do anything, what's the point of throwing me into this hellhole? ! Forget it, since no one can help me no matter how hard I try, then... just accept what has happened. I reopened the interface and confirmed that the title was still at "Starting Point" without any changes. I didn't see any further instructions, so I went back to check the skill bar to see what I could do now. As I read on, I felt like something was not right... If I remember correctly, "The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation" should be a novel about cultivating immortals through ghosts, but this skill looks like... it's basically that of a magic adventurer, right? Healing, purification, light shield... He is a complete light mage? And there is no main attack skill yet? No matter whether it is long-range or close-range attack, you can’t even attack? I looked at the title column: Holy Walker. Well, I have an impression of this job title. I remember playing it in an online game. Because this profession specializes in replenishing blood and defense, there is basically no risk of death as long as the magic value is not exhausted; but the disadvantage is that the attack power is not strong, and usually the weapon value has to be relied on to support the damage. So, now you want me to use the sword of the Ming Dynasty to kill the officials of the Qing Dynasty? Or is it about change without changing away from the essence? ...I say, has this system put me in the wrong place from the very beginning?
