[Ding! Congratulation for killing your first beast. You have achieved all the requirements to unlock the Limitless Paradox System created personally by Tian Long]. An emotionless mechanical sound spoke inside Tian Long's mind informing him about unlocking some sort of system. But our main character immediately became scared as he did not listen in what the said.
Tian Long jumped a few meters backward and became wary of his surroundings. "Wh-who are you?! D-do you think I'm scared of you? Show yourself!" Tian Long kept stuttering in shock to hear someone else's voice in a long time and more so when he heard it inside a jungle in another world where he just arrived.
But just as he was muttering a game-like screen appeared half a meter away from his face, it can be described as the menu or game character sheet from role-playing games with a futuristic touch. Tian Long did not even bother to read the text as he was now under in deep thought on what could this screen possibly be.
"So now I'm hallucinating for no reason at all" since he can't touch it he tried to moving away but it just follow him wherever he goes. "So what could this thing be? It kept following me everywhere! It is starting to annoy me"
There is one possible conclusion left for him, this was the legendary godly system that was given as a bonus in transmigration slash reincarnation based on the web novels in his previous world, what a dumb thing to base your situation on a web novel plot but this kind of thinking will be the one that will bring him to the top.
But something was bothering him, it is that the creator of the system has the same name as him, anyways he did not put that much attention into it as it was not that important. "System, hello are you still there" he was trying to check if the system was sentient in some way but after a few minutes, he decided to give up and do it the old fashion way.
"Status" the landscape screen turned portrait and became longer. A series of individual information about him was listed including a short summary of his entire life. But there are a few things he couldn't understand and noted it as unknown.
(The Information on the Status that is shown will vary depending on what is needed since it is space consuming and tiring to be placed in each and every chapter. I will just add an auxiliary chapter dedicated to his full status)
Name: Tian Long
Age: 23
Cultivation Rank: Martial Disciple stage
System: LPS Administrator Version 1.0 (Upgradable)
SP: 0
Physique: Indestructible Paradoxical Body (Universe Grade) |Sealed|
Innate Talent: The Only One In Existence (Universe Grade) |Sealed|

Description: A Mortal trash who was lucky enough to be forsaken by a god who knows who to be reincarnated in the world of cultivation with a system that can help you become the peak of this universe in no time. Tian Long a young man who lived his life for the sake of others before him and to find the truth behind his parents leaving him.
Tian Long a kind-hearted young man who was born with universe physique and talent but was labeled as a trash because of his uncle banning him from cultivating after his parents' death, so he seeks justice and make those who made is life hell feel the same shit he felt all these years but was unfortunately killed by his cousin and his so supposedly fiancé.
"Wait a minute isn't this the system I made the night before my death? What the hell!" Tian Long's eyes almost popped out from their sockets as he stared at the screen that he supposedly made for a game but scanning it again he found a few minor changes that were not there when he made it.
Then he looked again at his stats sheet. His face slowly became distorted with different emotion as he looked at his broken character "What is the meaning of this?!? Why the hell does it feel that I am way to broken with this Universe rank talent" If his memory serves him right universe grade was the highest quality of anything ranked in a game with a one in a infinity to get.
"But why is it sealed? Anyway, that is not important right now" He focused his thought on the information detailing the benefits of his status and such that only made him more flabbergasted in he saw. "The heavens have not yet neglected me after all those years in that godforsaken isolated place"
1) Indestructible Paradoxical Body: A Universe Grade Body that automatically absorbs Universe Qi by transforming the twelve principal meridians into large vortexes and the eight extraordinary ones into smaller vortexes.
2) The Only One In Existence: Talent incomparable to any others as you are the one and only that has immeasurable talents that surpass those so-called geniuses among genius in the highest realm.
3) Primordial King of the Void Phoenix Dragon Gods: A Bloodline that was personally tailored for the Host of the Limitless Paradox System. Makes every beast who has a lower bloodline that you bow down because of inferiorness
Then he remembered something that was also commonly received after the integration with the system. What else could it be, of course, it is the gift .pack containing godly items
"If this is a system there should be a gift pack right?" He determined to receive a gift package from the system since every overpowered main character with a system is given one to boost their survival rate, so why can't he have one?
Then remembering that his system was not a shameless artificial intelligence but a manual one he decided to check the inventory as it is another important function of every good system. "Hahahahahaha this father was definitely not mistaken!!!" He was roaring in laughter after he found out there was a Universe Package inside his inventory together with some unknown items since he hasn't looked at them yet.
Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
He pressed the gift package using his thoughts since he couldn't touch the screen itself. [Ding! Would you like to open the Universe Gift Package? Yes or No] of course he chose yes as it was the reason he clicked it in the first place.
[ Ding! Opening Universe Gift Package ]
[ Ding! Obtained System Guide Book ]
[ Ding! Obtained Universe Grade Cultivation Manual {Eternal Contradiction} ]
[ Ding Obtained Gazillion Years Cultivation Card ]
[ Ding Obtained Formless Qi Universe Armor Clothing ]
[ Ding Obtained Unlimited Currency Pouch ]
[ Ding Obtained Universe Grade World Creation Stone]
[ Ding Obtained 1,000,000 System Points]
And as soon as he did it information about its content and individual use flooded his mind giving him a slight headache. "Worth it, anyways let's check what items I got" because did not understand the contents at all as he was more focused on the headache. He opened the notification bar and read the objects' descriptions as the following together with some items that are already inside of his storage.
1) System Guide Book
Description: a book of information about the Limitless Paradox System, designed for the use of host to gain a better understanding of what the basic and advanced system functions.
"This probably will be helpful since this thing is manually operated, knowing how this thing work and its functions will be really helpful, cause I will not have to figure it out personally," said Tian Long as he sighs in relief having another burden lift off from his shoulders.
2) Eternal Contradiction
Description: A cultivation technique that requires two kinds of Dao that oppose each other creating balance between the two before merging into one for eternity. Divided into nine chapters starting from breathing to soul refining methods.
(Author's Note: I don't really know what to put in the description cause I just came up with two seemingly cool sounded words. If you have something better feel free to comment your ideas down below)
"Cultivation method huh, but its description is somewhat lacking a bit" looking at the vague explanation about it he felt that somethings going on with this technique.
3) Cultivation Card
Description: A special item which can increase the Host's cultivation to how much he can obtain depending on how many years the card contains within an hour. When using the cultivation card the Host's physical body will be covered with a layer of protective barrier thus making it invulnerable.
"OMG iii-is this the... OMG, this is really it the cheat boost, but what kind of number is gazillion? anyways maybe it is something large?" now he is feeling gratitude already just from looking at these few items.
4) Formless Qi Universe Armor Clothing
Description: Made from pure Universe Qi creating an adamantine armor that can be worn as a normal clothing. Due to it being made from pure qi the wearer has the ability to alter its shape and design by injecting or extracting qi based on the preferred size.
"Amazing with this I don't need to change my clothes ever!!!" he roared loudly as the feeling of changing clothes every single day takes time, like that additional five minutes of wearing clothes before going to school or work that makes you late and after the day ends it adds in an additional laundry.
5) Unlimited Currency Pouch
Description: A wallet size pouch that is imprinted with ancient scriptures and runes of the dao of creation and the dao of space. Capable of bringing out any kind of physical currency as long as it can be used as money.
"I'm freaking rich!!!" since he remembers the currency of this world from the original owner of the body's memories he could become instantly the richest person ever.
6) Universe Grade World Creation Stone
Description: A special stone that can create a separate dimension in ones dantian. the size of the realm depends on the quality and grade of the stone used. The size of the realm can be expanded using more stones and the contents can be modified by adding materials from the outside or by using excess Qi.
"This will probably be helpful if ever I need to hide and stuff," said as he imagines different scenarios to use this. example if he ever meets someone that is even more powerful in battle he can instantly enter this space and hide until his enemy leave.
7) System Points
Description: The currency used to buy things for the system store. Can also be converted into exp or ability points that will be available after upgrading the system and its functions. Can also be turned into different kinds of system points from a different kind of system.
8) World Travel Orb
Description: A special orb that allows you to travel from this world to another. example Modern World (Earth), Futuristic World (Sci-fi), Apocalyptic World (Zombie Invasion), Cultivation World (XianXia), Fantasy World (Swords and Magic), Fiction World (Anime, Webnovel, Etc.), Galactic World (Space Exploration), and etc.
"So I have a way to go back home, huh! This means I will be able to see those birth parents of mine and be able to know the reason why, why they left me" this became a sad part, all of his excitement and joy earlier turned a hundred and eighty degrees.
9) Universe Qi Essence Condensed Pill
Description: Contains all the Universe Qi that Tian Long gathered for quintillions of years inside the scar of paradox condensed inside a small pill by Destiny in order to be consumed again after successfully transmigrating into a new body.
"So all those FREAKING years!!! Inside that shithole and that flashbang, party space was not all wasted" you can never imagine how many gallons of tears he teared up in happiness I mean who wouldn't be, seeing all your hard work paid off.
"Now what to do?" scratching his forehead he felt weird. He looked at his blood covered hand, and that's when he remembered that he had just crushed the head of the long-eared rabbit.
So he continued to dissect the body of the wild beast. He grabbed some firewood and threw it inside the weakened bonfire to add combustion. Then he placed the now dismembered pieces of rabbit on a stick on top of the fire.
He picked the so-called bowl he carved that is filled with water and herbs then waited for the meat to be cooked. After a half, an hour of waiting for the meat was finally cooked. He reheated the soup by placing a steaming hot rock inside the bowl.
After having his lunch as it is already past noon he entered the cave and found a comfy rock to sit in. Now was the time to formulate a plan for what will he do from now on. He checked his inventory again to discern what can help him in his current situation.
"Let's see" opening the System Guide Book. (all the information that is contained inside the System Guide Book will be in a separated auxiliary chapter as it will be a long detailed explanation of the Limitless Paradox System)
After reading the manual "Sigh I need a break, reading that book makes my head hurt with such complex functions" then the sky suddenly turned dark but as he looked up to see what's happening, he was interrupted by a system notification.
[ Ding! A powerful external force is trying to communicate with the host. Do you want to grant access? Yes or No ] the previous mechanical voice of the system now sounded more humanly but still remaining in the neutral tone.
Then a shadow forming a silhouette of a man came down from the sky. It was a very majestic scene as a god was looking down onto his subjects. The man grinned and spoke, "I'm pretty sure you know why I'm here".
Tian looked again at the system's notification and pondered if he can trust this man. But he chose yes anyways as he felt that this man could kill him anytime he wants. [ Ding! The unknown entity was recorded as The Hack System]
"You probably accepted the request by now" Tian Long looked at the man and thought 'How did he know' then the man continued "I'll ask this question just once" the man inhaled a deep breath before exhaling it heavier.
"Do you want to receive another system" It took Tian Long half a minute before he was able to process the question "What!?!" he shouted by impulse as he believed that 'Who in the right would give you a free system'
Then he heard the familiar ding of his system [ Ding! Suggested course of action is to accept the proposal as it was deemed by the system to be useful later on ] he cannot believe that even this system that never talked to him sounded like having a conversation.
The man opened his mouth again "What? you don't want to" the man spoke in a questioning tone. "NO... I mean Yes ... NO ... I mean yes I would like to receive the system"
"Okay but there is a catch you will need to do a mission for me" the man responded back. Tian Long thought 'I knew it, I knew it that there will be a catch as there is no such thing as free lunch in this world... er maybe on earth'
"Uhm... Venerable Senior would you mind if I ask your name since I don't know how to address you, and by the way, this lowly one's name is Tian Long" Tian Long tried to be humble as possible since he knew the man in front of him is more powerful.
"No need to use honorifics, just call me Sam and by the looks of it you're probably much older than me" hearing that this guy even was younger than him made his jaw fall down.
"The mission is to kill two monsters Higher ranked than yourself" after saying his intent Sam vanished from thin air hence leaving the flabbergasted Tian Long alone. "What just killing two beasts, sigh, I will remember this debt Sam, I will repay it if we ever meet someday.
To be continued
