In a dimly lit room provided with the light of a weak lantern at the side, an unconscious young boy about 18-years-old, lay on the floor, his body streaked with blood.
The room was spacious and had an ancient, regal charm. The furniture looked expensive, crafted from the finest materials, giving the space an air of elegance. It was fully equipped with everything one might need—a large bed, a bookcase tucked into a corner and more things suitable for a room .
"Ouch!"
Shortly, a painful sound left the mouth of the boy as he slowly opened his eyes, returning to consciousness.
"My head hurts..." he wailed, holding his head that was spinning with pain from within.
Liam's eyes snapped open as a sharp ache shot through his body. Gritting his teeth, he struggled to sit up, his movements slow and unsteady.
His eyelids felt heavy, but he forced them open, letting his gaze wander around the dimly lit room.
The smell of blood hit his nostril which prompted him to look at the ground, a chill ran down his spine.
The floor beneath him was smeared with blood and littered with scattered food that he almost jumped up in fright when he noticed the blood on his own body.
"What happened to me? How did I get myself injured?" he murmured, looking at his body.
"Where am I? How did I get here?"
The room was strange and the pain in his body made it even harder to think clearly.
"This room?" His brows twitch with confusion. "Looks familiar???"
He managed to stand properly to his feet, taking in the view of the room.
The image in his head was blurry, he felt that he had seen this place before, even lived here, but how? When he had never been here in his whole life.
The last thing he remembered was completing a quest in the 'Xianxia Eroge' game that involved sexually overpowering the game's ultimate bosses, a succubus cultivator and the queen of the eastern heavenly province.
He had a big smile on his face when he succeeded in completing the quest as the first to accomplished this among millions of players, though it wasn't easy but finally he did it.
He busy himself, scrolling through the congratulatory comments on the game server when he came across one that piqued his interest.
It was from a level 0 player named Mysterious_shadow.
He recalled the text he saw clearly:
—This is not worth celebrating over because i am sure you won't survive in the game world, especially when facing one of the powerful cultivators. Don't brag about using gamepads and inbuilt romantic text for sex which is digital experience.—
He remembered the amused smirk on his face when he first read that message. It had seemed like a joke to him, something funny to laugh off.
Before he could even type a response, another message from the same player appeared:
—Wanna try it out and see? Then click on the link below if you dare.—
—⟨xxxxxxxxxx.com⟩—
Liam burst out laughing, nearly tipping off his chair. "What kind of joke is this?" he thought. "This is probably just some fan messing around with me."
With a shrug, he reached for the keyboard, ready to type a snarky reply but in his rush, he accidentally clicked the link.
The page that loaded was blank, save for a single line of text:
—Let's see how long you last inside your new world.—
….
'Wait, I remember now... Something circular like a gate appeared in my room in an instant and sucked me in. That's how I ended up here. That was the last thing I remember.'
Liam clenched his teeth as a surge of pain shot through his mind, uninvited and overwhelming.
Suddenly, a terrible headache hit, causing him to clutch his head and drop to his knees.
"What is this damn headache?" he gasped, gritting his teeth, struggling to endure the searing pain.
In that moment, strange memories and unfamiliar, at the same still somehow familiar flooded his mind.
They weren't his own, but they felt as if he had lived them, as if he were the one in those memories.
As the memories surged, one thought broke through: Mysterious_shadow's message.
His brain couldn't help but think. 'Had he really been pulled into the world of the Xianxia Eroge game? Was this the consequence of his bold boasting about his gaming skills?'
Five minutes later, the headache subsided as if it never happened.
He thought in his mind while carefully looking at his surroundings.
'Am I really in a virtual world? Is this the Xianxia Eroge world? Who the hell is Mysterious_shadow? Is he some kind of god? Or maybe the creator of Xianxia Eroge? Or worse, could he be a damn reaper, dragging souls into another world for fun?'
Liam's mind raced with anger and curiosity as he tried to make sense of it all.
Xianxia Eroge was an erotic game! A game created for humans to satisfy their lust by controlling several inbuilt game characters to go through different circumstances and quest for love and sex!
He held his forehead and swept his eyes across the room, at the moment he was aware of who he was, where he was, through the memories.
Now, he had two memories in his head, one from his original life and the other from the body he was transmigrated in.
A lot of questions filled his head as he looked around the room
"Mo Shen?" He muttered the name that was in his memory in a low tone.
Mo Shen was the name of the person he transmigrated in.
He struggled to raise his body from the ground and trotted toward the mirror he saw.
Behold was his reflection, a young handsome man with short white hair, crystal blue eyes, a chiselled face, and a young charm that beat all the models on earth.
His hand reached for his face while staring at his reflection.
"There were so many white hair male in-game characters on Xianxia Eroge, I know most of them but why the fuck is this face unknown? I can't move with a character I don't know the backstory of.. damn what mess have I gotten myself into, am I really in Xianxia Eroge or another world?"
A feminine voice dragged him out of his troubling thoughts.
[Erotic System is ready to bind with host]
[Initiate bind: Yes/No]
He saw written words hanging before him but since he was now inside the game, he wasn't surprised about it.
For two minutes, he looked at the faint blue screen in front of him. However he still picked the yes.
[Erotic system merging with player.....]
[...Erotic system binded successfully]
[Welcome host]
[I'm the Erotic system, assigned by my creator to assist you in your journey in this world]
[I will be here to measure your growth and I'm also a one-stop shop system for all your needs]
Liam was completely stunned by what he was hearing. An Erotic system? Assigned to assist him in his journey in this world?
"Tell me about this world and what you can do?" Liam asked, he already had an answer in his head, what he needed was a confirmation.
The Erotic system continued,
[Player, I will now provide you with a brief overview of this world since you are confused. You are currently in the world of Xianxia Eroge, a game created by my creator for humans to experience a world of hot-blooded cultivation and eroticism. In this world, individuals can cultivate their inner energy to become powerful cultivators and can engage in erotic encounters with other cultivators.]
[As the Erotic system assistant, I will assist you in your cultivation and help you unlock your full potentia with necessary knowledge of this world (note: weapons, resources and power are to be earned by you).]
Liam nodded, still trying to come to terms with everything he was hearing.
[However, I must warn you that this world can be dangerous. There are powerful cultivators and demonic beasts that roam the land. You must be careful and always be on guard. You need strength to protect your harem if you ever succeed in building one]
He already knew about the game 'Xianxia eroge' in fact, he was an expert in it, so he didn't pay much attention to the details given by the system as he already received the confirmation he wanted that he was in the game world.
Liam forced himself to calm down, his mind racing. This situation was more than he could grasp.
'WTF!' His thoughts were occupied with worries for his safety and survival. Trying to come up with an idea for his next move.
[You transmigrated as a minor villain in the game and you have to solve the problem of your damaged meridian by yourself] the feminine sound of the system continued.
'WTF! This is getting complicated.'
[Yes, you were programmed as a minor villain by my creator, there would be a lot of righteous cultivators coming to battle you in the future]
[Anyway, know that my job is to help you with your cultivation and stats measurement.]
Liam stared into the air then sighed as he started to sort out his memories.
He closed his eyes and the information about Mo Shen surged through his head.
Liam got the system after he transmigrated in the body.
"Now, my soul is currently in possession of this dude's body... too bad that he died." He calmly said to himself before looking around again. "I need to quickly clean this mess before anyone finds out."
With that, he began to clean the ground, making sure everything was intact and wouldn't raise any suspicions.
Also he quickly took a quick bath.
Soon, he was done, putting everything in place while in a neat black robe.
Just then, the door flung open, his eyes moved to the door and what he saw got him screaming internally.
