In Karakura Town, inside a hospital delivery room.
A baby wrapped in swaddling clothes slowly opened his eyes, then looked around excitedly:
"Did… did I transmigrate?"
He remembered working overtime in his company, writing code, when suddenly the computer leaked electricity. His body trembled violently, and then he lost consciousness.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect to get another chance. This time I won't be a programmer, I'll start a business, I'll become a billionaire…"
The baby in swaddling clothes waved his little hands excitedly, imagining a bright future.
At that moment, a virtual interface suddenly appeared before his eyes, visible only to him, with black text constantly floating on it.
[Realm · Unlimited Point Allocation]
[Current Attribute Points Available: 100]
[Spiritual Power: 1]

"Isn't this the game program I worked on in my past life!?"
The baby looked in surprise at the virtual screen before him.
In his previous life, he had been in charge of programming for a mobile game called "Realm," including character leveling, attribute points, skill enhancements, and so on.
Unexpectedly, after being electrocuted, not only did he transmigrate, but he also brought the program along.
"There's even a Spiritual Power attribute on the interface. So it's not making me into a billionaire, but into some urban immortal king?"
The baby grew even more excited, and without hesitation, he said to the system:
"Add points to Spiritual Power, all of them!!!"
...
Fifteen years later.
Karakura Town.
Near Karakura First High School.
The baby in swaddling clothes had grown into a tall, handsome teenager, standing about 1.7 meters, with black messy hair and wearing a school uniform.
But at this moment, he was drenched in sweat, running desperately forward while speaking to Kurosaki Ichigo beside him:
"Ichigo, you have to believe me, as long as we're united, no matter the danger, we'll overcome it!"
Ichigo's mouth twitched as he glanced behind him, his face pale with sweat.
"Cole, are you sure we can overcome any danger?"
Behind them, deafening roars echoed.
Looking closer, it was a three-meter-tall monster with gray-black skin, a hollow hole in its chest, and a ghastly white mask on its face.
Because of its massive size, every step left a deep crater on the ground.
Overhead power lines snapped from its body, sparking violently, yet it didn't stop. Instead, it glared greedily at the two figures ahead, letting out a piercing roar.
Cole swallowed hard and said:
"Of course. We've been through this plenty of times already. Haven't we always survived?"
"Damn it, that's nothing to be proud of."
Ichigo cursed instinctively.
"Stop talking, turn here!"
Following Cole's shout, the two suddenly swerved into a narrow alley.
The monstrous Hollow behind them couldn't turn in time and crashed through a wall with a thunderous boom, leaving a massive hole, then continued charging after them.
"Damn it, is anyone going to save us? Kurosaki Isshin, Urahara Kisuke, Tessai, Yoruichi, Hirako Shinji…"
Cole nearly broke down swearing.
This Hollow chasing them had already devoured seven or eight of its kind, far beyond what they could handle.
Just as the two ran for their lives, a flash of silver streaked across the sky.
"Shua!"
The terrifying Hollow suddenly froze. From its mask down to its groin, a pure white crack appeared.
With two booming sounds—
The Hollow collapsed heavily, split into two halves.
It had been cut apart by an unknown force.
The two finally stopped, seeing the scene behind them, breathing a sigh of relief and wiping their sweat.
"It's finally over!"
"But what the hell is going on?"
Ichigo frowned and asked Cole: "Why do these monsters always mysteriously die the moment they catch up to us?"
For five years, almost every other day, he encountered such monsters.
They weren't just huge and terrifying, their strength and defense were overwhelming—like demons from legend.
Yet bizarrely, every single time, they died right before reaching them.
As if someone had been secretly protecting them.
It must be Kurosaki Isshin… Cole thought silently, looking at the Hollow's vanishing corpse.
Over the years, at least a hundred Hollows had been cut down. The only one he could think of was Ichigo's ridiculous dad.
Thinking this, Cole turned to his "Realm" system.
After absorbing the Hollow's spiritual energy, his attribute points had increased by another hundred. With the passive absorption throughout the day, he now had more than two hundred points.
[Realm · Unlimited Point Allocation]
[Current Attribute Points Available: 200]
[Spiritual Power: 28,000]
[Strength: 4,100]
[Speed: 560]

[...]
Looking at the familiar interface, Cole thought bitterly of his tragic past.
At first, when he transmigrated, he thought adding Spiritual Power would improve his cultivation potential, so every point he had went into it.
At just ten years old, he already had a shocking twenty thousand Spiritual Power.
He thought he was about to embark on the road of immortality—until one evening, he encountered a Hollow by chance.
Facing its terrifying mask, he nearly collapsed.
That was when he realized… he hadn't entered a cultivation world, but the Bleach world.
What use was all that Spiritual Power for a human? Improve his flavor when he got eaten?
That day, he was chased by a Hollow for twelve hours straight, nearly collapsing from exhaustion.
For days afterward, Hollows kept appearing, forcing him to become a parkour master just to survive.
After countless brushes with death, he discovered only by improving his Spiritual Power and Strength could he deal even slight damage to Hollows. So he could only keep investing points there.
But that created a vicious cycle.
The stronger his Spiritual Power, the stronger the Hollows attracted to him. To survive, he had to grow stronger, which in turn attracted even deadlier Hollows.
This life continued for half a year, until he found Kurosaki Clinic.
By paying a heavy price, he managed to stay there and avoid nightly Hollow attacks.
Thinking back on his bloody past, Cole gritted his teeth at the system interface:
"Realm, add points!!!"
