"Don't you know this senior is trying to sleep you trash." The man lunged toward Erik and slapped his face.

Erik was thrown in the air by the forces of the slap. He rolled on the ground and hurriedly got up to look at the man with both confusion and rage in his eyes.

"Just what the hell is wrong with this guy, I was minding m~." Erik's thoughts were abruptly cut off as the man came in front of him like a ghost and slapped him once more.

This time Erik wasn't given the chance to recover when a punch filled with humongous force landed on his stomach.

Blood started to flow out of his mouth and his vision started to blur. His body was in so much pain but the man didn't stop.

Erik was like a toddler in front of the man. No matter how much he tried to resist, all of the attempts resulted in nothing.

"Tch! Look at one more time with that look in your eyes. You trash." Erik seemed to have unknowingly hurt the ego of the man.

After giving Erik one last kick the man took his leave.

Erik was left alone, lying on the cold floor with blood all over his body.

"Am I going to die once more? First in the hand of that bastard. Now in the hands of this pig." Erik's thoughts were chaotic.

"No, I refuse to die. Why should I die?"

"How can this bastard dare to do this to me." Erik roared and got up. He didn't care about the pain anymore. He wanted to beat the man till his mama won't recognise him.

At this moment something inside him seemed to have awakened.

Erik heard a robotic voice in his head and a screen appeared in front of him.

[Shop is open]

Erik's mind was bombarded by a ton of information in a short moment. He had a dumbfounded look on his face not understanding a single thing about the situation.

Was he hallucinating? Did the man's slap damage his brain?

Erik closed his eyes and ignored the screen.

After some time, the pain slowly lessened but the burning sensation remained. When he opened his eyes once more the screen was still in front of him.

Erik realized he wasn't hallucinating but was a real thing. He had earlier witnessed the power of people in this world so it shouldn't be surprising.

Erik was going through the window when his eyes landed on the lifespans.

"30 days." Does this mean, he only had thirty days to live?

And what was this Bloodline thingy and who were Higher Beings that? Erik's mind was filled with a myriad of questions but sadly there was no one to answer his questions.

[Higher being Madcarrot is thinking of quitting your channel if you continue to act like a crybaby]

[Warning; if you failed to attract the attention of Madcarrot you will be instantly killed as to continue living you need the attention of at least one higher being.]

Erik's mind was suddenly bombarded with two notifications glowing in crimson light. He felt a chill run down his spine when he read the notification, especially the word Death.

He suddenly got up and wiped his tears with his bloodstained clothes.

[Higher Beings Madcarrot is impressed by your ability to adapt]

[Ding! You have received one origin stone from Higher being Madcarrot]

[Ding! Origin Stones can be used to purchase items in the shop]

"Ahh shop, let's see what's in there." Hearing the notification about the shop. Erik decided to check it out.

As soon as Erik thought about the shop. A window popped in front of him, displaying various products in existence.

[Chaos Origin Bow: ************* stones]

Suddenly, the catalog changed once more, the earlier items disappeared and new items appeared.

[Thunder Demon breathing method: 20 Origin Stones]

[The Wrath of the Sun: 39 Origin Stones]

"So expensive! And what are these cultivation techniques?" Erik had no idea what these cultivation techniques were. Even if he wanted to buy them he didn't have enough capital.

He continued to browse through the shop when his eyes landed on the items that he urgently needed.

[One-month Lifespan bead: 5 Origin Stones]

He looked at the window for some time before suddenly exiting from the shop.

Erik closed all the windows and stopped thinking about the system for now.

He needed to rest today but before that, Erik had to do some things.

He looked around the dilapidated room and walked toward the drawer that was near the broken bed and was lucky enough to find some bandages.

"It would appear the beating and fighting was common here." Erik thought while dressing his wound and unknowingly he fell asleep.

"Hey! Get up, it's time to work." Erik heard the voice of a young boy calling him but he was in deep sleep.

"Let me sleep for one more minute,"

"I said, get up you punk, do I look like your mama." This time the young boy's voice was furious.

Erik was shocked awake by the voice he hurriedly got up and looked around him.

"I want you to take care of the herb garden in half an hour." The boy menacingly said and left.

"Yeah, take care of the herb garden." Erik hurriedly nodded and remembered why he was here in the first place.

He was sent to this place by the middle-aged to take care of the garden as he had a little potential for cultivation.

The sun still hasn't risen. The outside was still covered in darkness.

"Grrrhh!" Suddenly his stomach rumbled. Erik remembered. He hadn't eaten anything since regaining consciousness in this world.

Now where to find food to eat.

Erik walked out of his hut only to be greeted by another middle-aged man.

"Ohh! So you are the replacement of old Jack." The man's voice was filled with grief.
