Inside the familiar room, Li Yun woke up feeling a little groggy, he looked at his phone for the time but it was actually flogged at 02:00 A.M and showing that there was no signal, he cursed:
"What kind of manufacturer are that, as expected, I shouldn't have been tempted by the model from other country, they are not dependable at all."
He then stood up from his bed and walked out of his room, he went to the bathroom to make his morning bodily needs; when he washed his hand he looked up in the mirror, the sight before him was a bit different from usual but he couldn't put his finger on what was different, as he felt sleepiness coming back, he gave up thinking that hard and walked out of the bathroom.
"Ahhh!" A scream rang out loud and hurried footsteps was heard in the corridor, he stormed back in the bathroom and looked at his face in the mirror, he was so close to it he almost kissed his reflection inside. He then said with a trembling voice while holding his face:
"Who is this handsome guys? It can't possibly be me right."
It took him several minutes to calm down, and accept that he changed completely in a single night, his facial feature was still the same, but even though he couldn't be called an ugly duckling, he was sure that he wasn't so dashing looking like a white face before.
As he accepted the terrifying reality, he began to think about what was going on, he walked back to his bedroom and opened the window to get some fresh and what he saw was stunning to say the least; before him was beautiful view looking like the heavenly peach garden in the old tale to make children sleep.
With such a stunning view before him, how could he not understand what was going on, this was something that wouldn't exist in his old world, he had succumbed to the internet fever that contaminated everywhere.
"I transmigrated to another world!!!"
His shouting reverberated to the heaven, but no one responded to it.
…………….
Li Yun was seated on his desk looking at the view outside, he was feeling a bit melancholic, a great deal of sadness, and a huge amount of excitation.
"Look like my time have finally come, such a pity for all the work I put to get to a good university."
He then sighed as he said in determination:
"Mother, Father, your son is all alone here, but don't worry, I am fine. When I reach the peak of this world I will come look for you."
"Big brother, sister.. sigh~Aiya. I if knew this would happen I would have held back in our last gaming session together, I have left huges scar on your hearts..."
"BAANG"
It was at that time that the door of his room was kicked in a bang, an almost shouting voice then came from outside the room as the person walked in:
"STOP MAKING SUCH A LOUD NOISE! You are bothering the whole street!"
It was a beautiful woman with long hair in a ponytail, but she was wearing the same white T-shirt and black under sportswear, it was his beloved sister Li Ya.
Li Yun was stunned looking at her, he wasn't dazzled by her beauty, even though he thought for a moment that if there was such a thing as a jade beauty it must have looked like this…. Ptui. He was surprised at her presence here, so he asked quickly:
"Sister! What are you doing in this world?"
Li Ya was still not fully woken up, as her look suggested she wasn't someone of the morning. Hearing his word, she was infuriated; not only did he woke her up with his shouting in her rare day off, but he was also insulting her, he must be taught a lesson today! Her body disappeared from where she stood and appeared before Li Yun with her feet connecting with his stomach, he fell on the ground unable to move anymore.
Seeing this sight Li Ya finally felt that something was amiss, she may practice some sport in her extracurricular activities at university but she didn't think she became such a great expert yet, as she looked closely at the young man lying on the floor she couldn't help shouting:
"Who are you?!"
But the young man wasn't responding, she began to think that he may have died by her violent kick. What a tragedy, her brilliant future was ruined by such a stupid incident, she said:
"Sorry for kicking you to death, but the living must continue forward, don't worry I will find a good place in the mountain to let you rest in peace."
The corps crawled up suddenly and said:
"Stop with the nonsense, and help me stand up."
She lent him her hand and helped him before asking :
"What is going on here? How did you become handsome, is there some mysterious secret you are hidding from your big sister?"
"How would I know what happened! And I am not the only one who changed, look at yourself in the mirror."
She then took the mirror to the side and looked at her reflection, Li Yun was waiting impatiently for her reaction but she just said:
"I say, haven't I always looked like this, my nose bridge was just raised a little, but other than that it is exactly the same as before."
Li Yun rolled his eyes and tried to take the mirror back, but she dodged his hand keeping the mirror.
He decided to ignore this narcissist and walked out of the room. What was with her? He only looked at his reflection for ten minutes before stopping since there were more important thing to do.
Li Ya asked him seeing he was going somewhere:
"Where are you going?"
Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road.
"I'm going to see mom and the other, they should have been woken up by such a loud noise."
When they reached their parents bedroom, they knocked on the door but no one responded so they decided to open it, but there was no one inside, the brother and sister looked at each other when they heard some noise in the kitchen downstairs. They decided to descend and look at what was going on.
…………..
Downstairs, a man was seated on the diner table wearing a white pajama that was overly large for him, he looked to be in his thirty with sharp jaw line and eyebrows like swords, his black hair was cascading reaching his shoulder, what an handsome middle aged man! His body was hidden in the floating cloth but from the well toned muscle that was seen on his arm it could be figured out that he was in great shape under it. The man looked to be someone of great standing releasing a great aura of splendor, but his face was awkward now, looking very uneasy about something. He was sending a glance at the kitchen from time to time.
From the kitchen a very gorgeous lady that looked in her late twenty walked in holding two cups of coffee on a plate, her face had a great similarity to Li Ya but the mature and strict feeling from her was extremely distinct, with her hair in a bun on the head, she was the great mistress of this house, madam Li.
As she looked at the man seated on the table, she put down the coffee before him and sat on the other side, the atmosphere was very subtle. But they just drank their coffee in silence.
Father Li was feeling quite depressed right now, when he woke up in the morning he found out a beautiful lady lying beside him startling him greatly and after closer look he found out that it was still his wife. But, she seemed a lot younger and what was this radiating feeling he got from her? So he concluded:
'I must be dreaming!' That explained everything, he then did what any man would do seeing the younger version of his wife lying beside him on the bed. He poked at her face and whispered:
"Wifey, you are still the sun of my life in the end, to think you would even infiltrate my dream in such a sinfull form."
The lady was obviously awake and opened her eyes looking at this strange man lying beside her poking her face while saying such words…….
As the couple continued to sit silently on the dinning table, two people walked out from the stairs reaching downstairs, they looked familiar to them but there was obviously something different. Li Ying looked at them for a while before saying:
"Li Yun and Li Ya?"
The two looked a bit uncertain before responding:
"Mom…..?"
Li Yun continued
" But how can you be so youn…..!!"
His words stopped here as the big sister gave him a hit on the side.
She then said in a cheerfully tone:
"Mom! I am so happy to see you."
Before hugging her, Li Yun followed after her and also gave a hug to his mother. It was at this time that a cough sounded to the side interrupting this heartwarming scene.
The sibling turned around and looked at the strange man seated here, they were showing great confusion when Mother Li said calmly:
"It's your father Li Cheng."
The two showed a very shocked expression, it took them a long time to snap back as Li Ya said in admiration:
"You are really his wife to be able to recognize him even under this from."
Li Yun also nodded to the side.
What a sin! Sighed father Li to himself as he combed his long black hair behind.
The sibling then took a seat and looked at the scene that fell back in silence, Li Ying didn't keep it up for long as she took the responsibility like an adult, she said:
"First, I don't know what is happening to us and we should discuss about it together."
"But for now, Li Ya come help me with the breakfast, we can't do anything with an empty stomach. Li Yun go wake your brother up, we will talk when he is here."
The two nodded, and as Li Yun was about to go upstairs, he heard his mother say with a laugh:
"Don't worry we will still be here even if you don't reach the peak of this world."
He was feeling embarrassed as he rushed upstairs.
………………
The table was filled with five people now, Li Kun who looked oh so handsome, was seated beside his father with a calm and steady look befitting of his bearing as the eldest brother, he then whispered to Li Yun who was seated to his right:
"Don't tell anyone about what you saw in my room."
Li Yun answered back in a whisper on his own:
"Don't worry big brother, I will bring the secret that you screamed like a little girl to my grave."
They didn't know that their father was troubled to the side as he could hear everything several meters around him even the smallest noise, he was wondering if the sense of hearing of young people were always this good.
The breakfast was soon put on the table so the family decided to eat for now, what a familiar scene! Yet it felt so strange now. They finished the meal while keeping mum.
It was at this time this time that Li Cheng showed why he was the leading figure of the family, he looked at his youngest son and said gravely:
"So you are saying that we have been sent to another world?"
Li Yun was unaccustomed to his stern looking figure but he responded nonetheless:
"From what I saw on the outside, it is not a place that could be on earth, there don't seems to be any aliens either, so I could only infer that we are in another world."
The father looked somewhat convinced before continuing:
"Your reasoning come from the novel you have read, so what would be happening to us right now?"
"I am not sure but from what I read it should be time for a system to make it's appearance."
"A system?"
The man came from an older generation so he was a bit stunned hearing this word, he looked at the other people but what he got was strange looks from them.
Li Kun took the lead and said:
"Sorry. I don't know what a system is. From the last time I read those things, right now would be the time where some people barge in the house to say that they are here to break some arranged marriage, or some mighty bearded old man would come to accept one of us as his disciple."
Li Ya then continued the conversation:
" I don't really read those type of novel, from the one I read it would be time for me to be sold off in a marriage with some powerful general or an arrogant CEO."
He lost hope in them and looked at his wife who just shook her head saying:
"I've only read the one with some grave digger and something something Condor and it was a long time ago. Don't ask me."
Li Yun took the initiative to explain to them:
"That mean that there should be an entity that would help us adapts in this world, and give divers support after doing some missions in the form of rewards."
Li Kun looked at him strangely before saying:
"You mean like in a game?"
"Yeah, it's like that but the support would be far more broken than in game since there are no other players, for example you can get a divine weapon just at the start if you are lucky enough."
Li Kun felt very shocked, so nowadays' stories weren't about struggling against the heaven anymore but to stroll your way to reach greatness, what had happened to the world when he just left for some time.
Mother Li didn't care wether it was a heart wrenching tale or a face slapping one as she interrupted their debate:
"So, it mean that we were brought to this world to do something, and that system thing is like an administrator that would help as a guide like with some home appliance right?"
Li Yun gave a wry smile at the comparisons but nodded at her.
This was an explanation that father Li could understand as he asked the most important question:
"What reason were we brought here for then?"
It was at that time that a bright light lit up on the table dazzling the family, from it a young childish voice came out saying:
"For that question, I will answer it for you!"
