Chapter 1: Awakening and Changing Jobs

```

(This story is purely fictional. Any resemblance to actual events or persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental!)

Blue Star.

Great Xia Empire.

Within the land of the Nine Great Divine Provinces, Jiangnan Province, White Crane City, White Crane Academy.

The June sky was fierce with the blazing sun, yet it couldn't extinguish the burning passion in the hearts of students and their parents.

Above the vast training field of the academy, a nine-story tower-like altar floated, and at the top of the altar was planted the golden dragon flag of the Great Xia Empire with its five claws.

The square formations composed of senior-year students surrounded the altar, leaving only the area beneath the altar clear.

And outside the training field, anxious and expectant parents crowded around, all hoping their children would turn into dragons.

Every year, on the first day of June, after the fusion of games into reality, it was the most important and special awakening and job-change date for every empire.

At this very moment, tens of thousands of soon-to-be graduates stood silently, gazing up at the Awakening Altar that only appeared in the sky on the first day of June, their eyes filled with frenzy and tension.

Suddenly, the figure of the Headmaster He Bai appeared out of nowhere on the altar, standing beneath the Great Xia dragon flag.

"Dear students, first of all, congratulations on your upcoming awakening and job change, and becoming professionals."

"Secondly, I hope that no matter what talent you awaken, you will maintain your composure."

"As the saying goes, a hero need not ask about his beginnings; the difference in talents does not determine the height of your growth."

"In the ancient five-thousand-year legacy of our Great Xia Empire, there have been emperors with the worst of talents, such as the founder of the Ming Dynasty a thousand years ago, Elder Zhu Yuanzhang."

"He rose from the bottom with the most rubbish white talent 'Begging,' dominated the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Tribes, was invincible, and ultimately occupied a part of the Realm Territory, establishing an emperor's business, becoming one of Blue Star's greatest Realm Masters."

"Would any of you be content to be left behind?"

A motivational speech like this left all the students below with their heads held high, chests out, and blood boiling.

No sooner had his words finished, the nine-story altar floating in the air suddenly burst forth with a rainbow-colored radiance that enveloped the tens of thousands of students below.

...

The rainbow-colored radiance, containing some unknown power, flowed into Zi Liyuan's body, and instantly broke some sort of barrier within his Zi Mansion.

The next moment, an attribute panel appeared before Zi Liyuan's eyes.

[Player]: Zi Liyuan

[Level]: LV1 (0/100)

[Profession]: Necromancer (Apprentice)

[Talent]: Star of Fortune (Orange)

[Attributes]: Physique 1 (+3), Spirit 2 (+3), Spiritual Power 1 (+3).

(The numbers in parentheses are bonus attributes from the cultivation technique)

[Overall Attributes]: Life 400, Spiritual Energy 400, Physical Damage +4, Magic Damage +5, Physical Defense +4, Magical Resistance +5

[Cultivation Technique]: The 9th set of Radio Calisthenics of the Great Xia Empire (White) LV3 (Experience 388/400)

[Skills]: Skeleton Summoning (LV1, 0/100)

[Spatial Backpack (1/20)]: Nether Crystal Core (Rainbow-colored)

[The second page of the attribute panel is sealed, activate by obtaining the Lord's Heart, and entering the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Tribes!]

(Note: The ranks of talents and cultivation techniques from low to high are: White Normal, Green Fine, Blue Rare, Silver Hero, Gold Lord, Purple Epic, Red Legendary, Orange Holy, Rainbow Deities and Demons).

A faint, barely there smile appeared at the corner of Zi Liyuan's mouth.

It had been 18 years since he crossed into this world, a world invaded by games into reality.

Any intelligent life form could awaken their talent and change their profession to become professionals through the world's altar at the age of 18.

While talents varied in strength, they were not impossible to advance, albeit with extremely harsh conditions.

```

Occupations are not immutable; if you can get your hands on a professional template, you can switch to any other profession of your choice.

As for the sealed second page of the attribute panel, it is actually a Lord's panel. To activate it, one must enter the Sea of Realms' Battlefield of Ten Thousand Tribes and compete against myriad tribes to seize territory within the Realm.

Stepping onto the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Tribes to vie for territorial control is premature for Zi Liyuan at this stage.

What he needs to do now is to increase his own level and acquire an invitation from the Dragon Academy of the Great Xia Empire!

The Great Xia Empire controls the Nine Great Divine Provinces of Blue Star; each province has a supreme academy dedicated to exclusively nurturing human Lords, and Dragon Academy is, without a doubt, the top academy of the Great Xia Empire.

It is the cradle of human Lords on the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Tribes; sixty percent of the human prodigies who rise there hail from Dragon Academy.

The remaining forty percent are split among the academies of the other eight Divine Provinces.

It's not that the academies in the other eight Divine Provinces lack strength, but Dragon Academy is supported by many Realm Master powerhouses, which makes it the first choice for all the talented individuals in the Great Xia Empire.

Zi Liyuan opened his spatial backpack and then looked at the only dark gray crystal the size of a dragon's eye.

Nether Crystal Core (Rainbow): A divine relic formed by the fusion and condensation of Nether authority and the rules of death. Upon shattering, it forms a crystal core, binding to the owner's spirit. The owner can consume energy to modify certain information related to the Nether authority and the rules of death!

(O_o)??

Zi Liyuan was puzzled. Deities and relics seemed like high-end, distinguished things, not to mention the flashing rainbow luster.

But without specific instructions on how to use it, he had no idea how to use it!

Shaking his head, he decided to set it aside for the moment and research it when he had time. The priority was to study his innate talents and profession.

He then opened his talent skills.

Star of Fortune (Orange): You're the boy who conquered the goddess of fortune; luck favors you, and when you do anything, your luck is always at its maximum value! (PS: As a man who's had more than a few encounters with the goddess of fortune, even the Luck Emperor is leagues behind you!)

Zi Liyuan had a deep understanding of luck ever since he arrived in this world.

As an infant, during a blizzard, he was timely delivered to an orphanage, avoiding a premature demise.

Later, the orphanage was mysteriously sponsored and supported by the empire, and all the orphans led a prosperous life.

Purchasing a lottery ticket at random, he hit the jackpot, achieving financial freedom.

Haphazardly helping a little girl, her parents gave him a great deal of professional items.

Such events were countless over the past eighteen years, and Zi Liyuan had long grown accustomed to his extraordinary luck.

As for why his fortune was so good, he roughly understood it was caused by his transmigration.

In his previous life, he established several charitable foundations, conducted countless philanthropic activities for his motherland, and in the end, died while saving others.

Legend says that a person of great virtue and kindness will surely accumulate boundless merit. His soul must have been blessed by Mother Earth before being sent to Blue Star.

Shaking his head again, Zi Liyuan's gaze fell on the [Skills] column, and he opened Skeleton Summoning to check the skill.

[Skeleton Summoning (LV1, 0/100)]: Using the spirit as a beacon, expend 10 units of spiritual energy to summon a skeleton from the Netherworld to fight for you.

[Skeleton]

[Level]: LV1

[Profession]: Warrior

[Attributes]: Physical damage 3, physical defense 1, life 20.

[Skills]: None

[Combat Power]: 2

ヽ(ー_ー)ノ

As the lowest tier of undead units, skeletons certainly earned their title as the weakest, with truly abysmal attributes.

Any newly minted professional human being, even without the bolstering of a cultivation technique, would have at least 100 life points with just one point in physical strength; randomly picking up a brick would deal more than 3 points of damage, at the very least at the level of a weakling.

However, there was also good news: as long as the spirit and spiritual energy were not depleted, one could continuously summon skeletons. Isn't the undead scourge known for its terrifying numbers?
