Chapter 1: Reincarnation, Launch!

"Silence, the Reincarnation Ceremony is about to begin!"

"Students whose names are called, please line up immediately and enter the Reincarnation Hall!"

"Long Su, Sun Yue, Wang Yibei, Zhao Xiaoling!"

The Dragon Nation, Linjiang First High School.

The middle-aged, balding dean of students announced loudly, his voice brimming with vigor.

The few students whose names were called rose with tense faces and walked toward the grand, magnificent Reincarnation Hall not far away.

Watching their departing figures, the expression on Li Chang'an's face was rather complex.

This was a perilous world where alien beasts ran rampant and monsters ruled supreme!

Before extraordinary lifeforms capable of destroying heaven and earth at a whim, the lives of ordinary people were like weeds by the roadside, liable to be ruthlessly trampled upon anytime, anywhere.

If an ordinary person wished to become an extraordinary being and ascend into the ruling class, their only path was to enter the Reincarnation Hall on the day they turned eighteen, become a permanent reincarnator, and bring back a new system of evolution from the reincarnation world!

Just like the college entrance examination in his previous life, this was truly thousands of troops and horses crossing a single-log bridge.

As a traveler from another world, Li Chang'an had firmly believed when he first crossed over that his destiny was in his own hands, not heaven's. Yet, as he gradually came to understand this world, he finally discovered just how despairing it was to be an ordinary person in a world of the extraordinary.

No matter how grand your ambitions, no matter how much wisdom and wealth you possessed, before the powerful reincarnators who mastered extraordinary evolutionary systems, you were ultimately nothing but an ant crawling on the ground, waiting to be crushed at any moment.

For ordinary people who wished to climb upward, they had no choice other than to throw themselves at

Staring at the lines of text dripping like fresh blood across his retina, Li Chang’an felt a shiver of raw goosebumps ripple across his skin, caught in a frantic blur of tension and adrenaline.

Bloody hell, this was a textbook start from the depths of purgatory.

Even a prison sentence offered three square meals a day, yet this wretched world not only promised starvation and freezing rags, but also demanded constant vigilance against the rampaging demons and anomalies... The only thing that could possibly rival this nightmare was the legendary "vocational school girls' restroom" tier of cursed beginnings.

Yet, no matter how bitterly Li Chang’an mocked it in his mind, the background and circumstances of this reincarnation world were already set in stone; all he could do was accept his hand and try his absolute best to rewrite it.

After all, the Reincarnation Imprint was nothing if not fair: the higher the initial difficulty, the more magnificent the final evaluation and rewards would be once one defied the heavens to change their fate.

The reverse was equally true.

Rather than wasting breath on useless complaints, it was far better to sort through his thoughts immediately and strike hard into this new reality.

Right now, the only thing Li Chang’an could rely on was his previously bound cheat ability, "Defiant Savant Comprehension," and he could only hope it would prove potent enough to grant him a grand legacy rather than just a desperate struggle for survival.

[Initial node secured.]

[Reincarnation score will be evaluated based on multiple factors: the degree of alteration to your established fate, your impact on the world, and your legacy in historical lore. The more thoroughly you rewrite your destiny, the greater your global influence, and the higher your renown in history, the richer your rewards will be.]

[Do you wish to officially begin the reincarnation?]

Gazing at the message that materialized once more across his vision, Li Chang’an took a deep, steadying breath and muttered with a dash of dark, bitter humor, "Reincarnation, launch!"
