When Zhang Zhao and Zhang Bai realized they have left the dark space, They found themselves within a small and simple house. When they were about to explore this small house, They both felt immense pain attack their bodies, Even more so for Zhang Zhao. They quickly realize this is due to their bodies changing to fit their new physiques. They both open their mouths seemingly screaming out in pain, Yet no noises can be heard from their mouths. They feel this immense pain for a total of 1 hour, Before it finally stops. After the pain stops, Both Zhang Zhao and Zhang Bai felt huge changes to their bodies, As they became quite stronger than before.
Zhang Zhao slowly stands up and helps Zhang Bai up before looking around the house once again. This time, Zhang Zhao notices that there is a sharp black sword residing beside his foot, Which is as long as his whole arm. He realizes that this is his Epic Grade Sword - Azeroth. Zhang Zhao picks Azeroth up and he notices that there is a belt with a sheath embedded on it to hold his sword. He picks up the belt and wears it around his waist and places Azeroth within the sheath given to him. When Zhang Zhao was about to head towards the door of this small house they found themselves in, A screen appears before them.
Ahem! As of now, Every single person on Earth has been transported to Edios. All of you are in different parts of the world in villages. Each village will hold 5000 people, So there is billions, If not trillions of these villages around the world. Edios is a world that is 30 times the size of Earth, So I guess it is fine. Anyways, Now that everybody has obtained their Physiques, Weapons, Martial Skills and Cultivation Techniques, Whether good or bad, I shall now debrief you on the current situation. You are all within a house in your villages, With whomever you were with when you were transfered into the Void. These villages will be where you can either stay for your whole lives, Either that or you can venture out and explore the world a month later, Which is when a barrier around the 15 KM around each village has dissapears. In each village there will be places you can earn money by doing quests. You will be able to buy food, Cultivation resources and much more. I leave you to find out the rest. You all have access to a System that will show you all your own Status Screen and the Quest Screen which lasts for one month. To open either of these screens, One just has to say either Status or Quest to open them. This is all I will tell you now, So I wish you humans good luck in this new world called Edios!
After he has read over the screen, Zhang Zhao is quite surprised because this village is quite the benefit for the next month, As it will allow people who put in the effort to possibly attain cultivation resources to cultivate and increase their strength. Zhang Zhao remembers that he has a status screen, Of which he decides to check.
"Status."
Name: Zhang Zhao Cultivation Realm: N/A Body Physique: Heavenly Age: 17 Cultivation Technique: Fiery Rebirth Unknown
"Zhang Bai, Say Status out loud so you can check it and then tell me what it says, Okay?"
Zhang Zhao asks Zhang Bai, To which she nods and does as he says.
"Status"
Name: Zhang Bai Cultivation Realm: N/A Body Physique: Legendary Age: 10 Cultivation Technique: Pheonix Transformation Unknown
Zhang Zhao notices that they both have an Unknown slot within their status screen, But he decides to ignore it for now since it will show what it is in the future, Else it would not be there. Zhang Zhao looks around the house with Zhang Bai and notice that there is two beds which look like they would from Earth. There is a washroom, Though the toilet is quite different from Earth. There is a table with 2 chairs, Which they assume is for eating meals on. There is also something that resembles a kitchen, Though it is basically only a counter and a few cabinets. Zhang Zhao noticed that the house has not a single window, Which seems quite odd to him, But he brushes it off since according to his memories about Edios, It is basically a middle ages world, Just with powerful cultivators residing in it.
Zhang Zhao looks down at Zhang Bai and pats her head.
"Bai, Let's head out of the house to see what is around this village of ours, Alright?"
Zhang Bai looks up to see her brother smiling down at her, And nods her small head and agrees with his idea. Zhang Zhao leads Zhang Bai out of the only door on their house and gets a good look at the village. It is as any normal village would be, With wooden walls surrounding all 4 sides with a single gate on one of the sides. Zhang Zhao notices that there is thousands of houses within this seemingly small village, Yet it still has quite a large amount of space to move around. There is a few places that he notices, Such as a few restaurants, A village hall, A few shops such as a Tailor shop, A bakery, A food shop, And a cultivation type shop. The cultivation type shop has from what he can see, A few pills and books on shelves, Which he assumes are cultivation techniques and Martial Skills.

Following Zhang Zhao and Zhang Bai, Most of the people that were sent to this village emerge from their houses and start looking around this village. A few people have weapons on them, Such as swords and spears. Zhang Zhao memorizes where their house is and closes the door and holds Zhang Bai's small hand and decide to head over to the village hall to see if he can get any information of sorts. As Zhang Zhao and Zhang Bai enter the village hall, They notice a white haired old man sitting on a chair with his eyes closed. Once they enter the village hall, The old mans eyes snap open and stares directly at them. He then smiles at them and stands up before walking over to them.
"Hello there! I would like to ask of you to kill the few monsters that keep stopping the villagers from exiting the village to scavenge for food. If you can do this for me I will give you both a good reward."
Zhang Zhao just narrows his eyes at this old man and thinks 'This old man is just like an NPC from games... I get the feeling this village is just one full of NPC's and will dissapear after the month, Though I am not fully sure.'
Help Elder Mo by killing the wild animals and beasts around the village surroundings.
Rewards - 30 Copper coins and a Qi Condensing Pill.
Accept? Y/N
Looking at the rewards that the quest gives, Zhang Zhao decides to accept it with Zhang Bai, As that pill will most likely be what lets them begin the path of cultivation. After accepting the quest from Elder Mo, Zhang Zhao leads Zhang Bai out of the village hall and towards the village gate. They leave the village gate and notice that there is a few wild chickens and what look like wolves a few dozens of meters away from the village.
Zhang Zhao looks down at Zhang Bai and asks her a question.
"Bai, Do you know how to use your martial skill?"
Zhang Bai looks at Zhang Zhao and thinks for a moment before nodding.
"Uh-huh! Once we appeared in the house I got the information about how to use the skill properly. Though it says something that my proficency with the skill is at Low (0%). Whatever that means."
Zhang Zhao nods his head and tells Zhang Bai to use the skill once they start fighting the beasts, So she can get used to using the skill. Zhang Zhao takes Azeroth out of it's sheath and runs towards the chickens and wolfs with Zhang Bai. The beasts notice them running over and stop what they were doing before a few rush over towards them.
"Bai, Use your skill now!"
Zhang Bai nods her head and calls out her skill name - Yin-Yang Palm. A 5 meter palm appears above the rushing beasts and slams down atop of them, Smashing them into the ground and stunning them briefly. Zhang Zhao rushes over with his sword and hacks it towards a wolf, Directly piercing it's brain through the middle of it's head. He feels a little bit sick because it looks very gross, But he doesn't stops and continues to slice at the stunned beasts. The beasts quickly snap out of it after Zhang Zhao killed 4 of them, Then they start attacking him. Zhang Zhao starts dodging as best as he can, Yet he still gets scratched on his body every now and then.
Zhang Bai notices her brother is getting injured and panicks before using another Yin-Yang Palm and sending it towards most of the beasts. It slams down on the beasts again, Killing a few of the injured ones and injuring the others. Zhang Zhao inwardly cheers at the good timing and takes advantage of the beasts injuries to quickly kill the remaining beasts. After noticing that all of the beasts have finally been killed, Zhang Zhao starts breathing heavily and tries to regain his breath while moving away from all of the corpses of the beasts, As it is making him feel sick.
He walks over to Zhang Bao who looks very pale, As this is her first time seeing anything as gory as this. He quickly soothes her by patting her head and they walk back towards the village. After entering the village through the gates they head straight to the village hall and enter it. Once they enter the hall they walk over to Elder Mo while Zhang Zhao starts talking.
"Elder Mo, We have slain all of the beasts outside of the village. The remaining beasts that did not attack had ran away towards the forest, So we did not bother with them."
Elder Mo looks up at Zhang Zhao and Zhao Bai before thinking for a minute and then pulls out two pouches and bottles from a drawer and handing them over to Zhang Zhao and Zhang Bai wiith a smile.
"Thank you! Now that the beasts have been cleared out our villagers can finally go out and search for fruit and useful plants once again. This is a token of my appreciation."
You have completed the quest! Obtained 30 copper coins and a Qi Condensing Pill.
Zhang Zhao and Zhang Bai take the pouches and bottles holding their pills from the elder and thank him before leaving the village hall. Zhang Zhao decides they should just head back to their house now instead of doing anything else. They enter their house and close the door before they both walk over to the beds and sit down on either one. Zhang Zhao looks over towards Zhang Bai.
"Bai, We should use these Qi Condensing pills now so that we can begin cultivating. I don't know what will happen when we take the pills, So be ready for anything okay?"
Zhang Bai looks towards Zhang Zhao who is looking at her seriously and she nods her head in understanding. They both open the bottles and a sweet fragrance appears in their house. They pour the single pill within their bottles onto their hands before looking at eachother and finally putting the pills in their mouths. The second the pills enter their mouths it dissolved and they both felt a strange energy flowing throughout their bodies. They guide the energy towards their dantian, Which was within their memories about Edios. They manage to get energy to directly flow into their dantian and it continues for 5 minutes before it stops. Before Zhang Zhao and Zhang Bai can even open their eyes to look at eachother, They both suddenly fainted on their beds, Falling fast asleep.
