1 A bad family
The golden maple leaves sway in the wind, and the grass bathes in the peaceful sunshine.
By the babbling stream, a black-haired boy sat cross-legged under a maple tree, opening his eyes from eternal sleep.
Get up and look around, it's a plain.
Step out of the shade and look up at the two suns in the sky, one is a normal sun, and the other is a blue sun that looms like an afterimage.
He looked down, his hands were covered in sticky blood, and there was a blood-stained dagger at his feet.
Gently stroking the hideous knife on his neck that had only healed, he recalled the memories that gradually welled up in his mind.
Originally an ordinary uncle on Earth, he seems to have been reincarnated in an unheard of fantasy world.
There are cars, planes, internet, high-rise buildings, and the ancient monarchies of the European Middle Ages on Earth.
The previous owner of the body was named Xuanyuan and was a high school graduate.
Since Xuanyuan was in elementary school, various magical dungeons have gradually emerged in this world, setting off a development frenzy of the entire continent.
Over time, the existence of the dungeon was gradually revealed to the nobility.
The king began to encourage the whole people to storm the dungeons.
From this, a new class was born - the adventurer.
Anyone is qualified to become an adventurer, and once they become an official adventurer, they have all kinds of unbelievable privileges such as not having to kneel to see nobles, and only having to bow to see the king.
As long as you have made enough meritorious deeds, you can even get a noble title.
The people of the whole country suddenly fell into a frenzy.
People threw away their hoes and sickles, quit their jobs, took their weapons, and poured into the dungeons singing.
At one point, in a certain dungeon, a 98% horror casualty rate was created.
The near-death-like casualty rate has completely cooled the enthusiasm of all civilians.
When people suffer heavy casualties and choose to flee the dungeon.
The king suddenly announced - open the Hall of Talents!
All citizens who have reached the age of eighteen are eligible to enter the Hall of Talents and obtain a magical talent.
That's when people knew.
Along with the dungeon, there is also the mysterious Hall of Talent.
People poured into the Hall of Talents with curiosity and found that among the talents they obtained were chicken ribs such as [Accelerated Breathing], as well as super-sized talents such as [Hundred Times Strength].
Talent granting is completely random, and there is no special effect on status.
This time, someone finally seized the opportunity in the dungeon and became an official adventurer.
From time to time, there are commoner adventurers, with great talent and a little luck, they have made meritorious deeds and have been awarded the title of nobility.
Of course, there are many more, for various reasons.
In the end, only a lonely mound, with no bones remaining.
Recalling this, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
In his previous life, he struggled to find wisdom, went against the trend and insisted on his heart, and lived as an outlier among his peers.
It's a pity that he died young, and before he could realize the vision in his heart, he ended the life path of wisdom growth.
Although he has no regrets in his life, he has never been satisfied.
Fortunately, death is not the end, maybe God has mercy and gave me a second chance.
The past is like smoke, why look back?
From now on, I am Xuanyuan!
Get up and throw the blood-stained dagger into the stream.
Seeing that there was no one around, he simply took off his clothes and pants and jumped into the water, washed the blood stains left on his neck and body, and soaked the white T-shirt in the water to scrub by the way.
While cleaning, continue to organize the next thoughts.
Although this world is an aristocratic system, it is not much different from the earth in terms of personal life.
Free education continues until the end of high school.
Now, Xuanyuan is facing a life choice after graduation.
The predecessor's dream was to go to adventurer college and become a full-time adventurer in the future.
If you want to go to Adventurer University, academic performance doesn't matter.
The difficulty lies in the fact that non-aristocratic students must be formal adventurers if they want to enroll.
If you want to become an official adventurer, you must first go to the dungeon to complete a large number of tasks, and after meeting the conditions, you can apply for the adventurer's guild assessment, and you can pass the assessment.
The whole process will take at least a year or so.
Without strong talents, the mortality rate of ordinary people entering the dungeon has been high.
Children from ordinary families often have to wait until they reach the age of 18 to draw a strong talent before they consider entering the dungeon to fight.
Although admission to Adventurer University is difficult, tuition fees are unusually expensive.
In this world, there are still countless civilians who flock to it.
Not only does the Adventurer University impart a lot of secret knowledge about dungeons, but it's also a symbol of identity and status.
Nowadays, even the nobles of this world must be adventurers who have graduated from college before they are eligible to inherit the title.
Draw powerful talents, become an adventurer, go to the adventurer's university, attack dungeons, win the title of nobleman, and then walk to the pinnacle of life and live a beautiful life that everyone envies.
In this era, it is the simple dream of every child of a civilian family.
It's a pity that Xuanyuan's predecessor was not very lucky.
He only awakened one garbage talent, [Autopilot].
[Auto Pilot]: As the name suggests, it is similar to autopilot, you can go to the places you have reached on foot or in different vehicles, and if you are attacked or feel any danger, you will suddenly stop without warning.
Once inside the dungeon, this talent can't even be activated.
The profession that suits this talent is often only a driver outside the dungeon, and it is easy to dislike.
Drivers are expected to react instantly when they are in danger, rather than being stunned and then reacting when they are in danger.
Perhaps, it is precisely because the gap between ideals and reality is too huge.
So much so that the predecessor couldn't bear it, so he rashly chose to end his life, right?
Xuan Yuan shook his head and lamented the ignorance of his predecessor.
The gap between ideals and reality is indeed huge, but the process of daring to pursue ideals and continuous self-improvement is often more important than the result.
To some extent, life does not belong only to the individual itself, but is driven by a grander purpose behind it.
It was rare to come to this world, and he happened to be interested in becoming an adventurer, so he decided to carry on the last wish of his predecessor.
Although the profession of adventurer is very dangerous.
But Xuanyuan, who has died once, knows better.
In life, the most fearful thing is not death.
It's that I finally came to this world, but I never really lived once.
Change into wet clothes and put on your pants.
Leaving the stream, he followed the path, ready to go home first.
The talent card issued by the Talent Hall is still in the former house, similar to the ID card on the earth, which is necessary for going out.
At the same time, he is also preparing to face up to his parents who have been running away.
The country where the predecessor was located was the Kingdom of Morna, located on the outskirts of the county town of Valar in the Holm district.
The transportation is inconvenient, the degree of industrialization is not high, and the environment is beautiful, but it also makes everyone's pockets very poor.
His family background is among the commoners, which is not very bad.
Although the parents of this world are commoners, they are the affairs officers under the command of the Viscount.
It's not a lot of wealth, and it's also a worry-free food and clothing.
The family lived on a small estate in the outskirts of the country, with a separate three-story wooden house and a vestibule and backyard.
After a while, I saw my sister Xuan Yutong, who was still in junior high school, from a distance.
The girl has a double ponytail on her head, a little baby fat on her face, a pair of big talking eyes, a close-fitting blue school uniform and a short skirt, and slender white socks and round-toed black shoes under the skirt.
She was standing outside the walls of the courtyard, looking around.
Seeing Xuanyuan, she hurriedly trotted all the way over, looking panicked:
"Brother, my parents are arguing fiercely inside, and they seem to be very angry."
"Otherwise, you go to a friend's house and hide for a day."
"When the weather is gone, will you go back and admit your mistake?"
"By the way, brother, why are your clothes wet?"
Hearing this, Xuan Yuan showed a gentle smile, reached out and rubbed his sister's little head:
"Don't worry."
"Just wait for me to go in and have an open and honest conversation with my parents."
The sudden head touching and killing, as well as the gentle smile, made Xuan Yutong a little stunned.
She couldn't remember how long it had been since she had seen Xuanyuan's brother's smile.
Since Xuanyuan's brother went to junior high school, his parents strongly opposed his brother's idea of becoming an adventurer.
Brother Xuanyuan, who has always been cheerful and smiling when he was a child, and his smile makes people feel warm, gradually became more and more taciturn, always like he was hiding something, and he was so gloomy that she was a little scared.
Xuan Yutong followed behind Xuan Yuan with a sluggish face and entered the house.
As soon as I entered the house, I heard my parents arguing fiercely in the living room.
Xuan Yuan's father, Xuan Tao, was shouting in a majestic voice:
"Look at you, how do you teach children?"
"I have long said that teaching children must be beaten to death, and filial piety will come out under the stick!"
"You've been doting on me, always holding me back, now it's okay?"
"The little cub's wings are stiff, and he wants to go to heaven."
"What kind of bullshit adventurer do you want to be, it's purely looking for death, and I don't know how many pounds and taels I have."
Then, it was the mother Zhou Jingshu who cried angrily:
"You still have the face to talk about me!?"
"I told you a long time ago that doing it will only lead to more and more problems."
"If I hadn't stopped you before, you would have beaten your son to death!"
"Let you communicate well with your child, communicate, and reason well."
"You just don't listen, you just know how to do it."
"Now it's okay, the boy ran away, don't you know who this kid learned from?"
"That bull's temper is purely carved out of the same mold as you!"
"The child is young and ignorant, I see that you are old, and you are just as sensible as you are!"
The quarrel in the living room made Xuanyuan sigh.
As early as when he was a part-time counselor on Earth, he witnessed it many times.
Every child with serious psychological problems has an unhappy family behind them, and a pair of parents who have serious problems and can't know it.
The mother's words seemed to infuriate the father.
From the living room came the sound of tables and chairs falling to the ground, followed by the mother's frightened screams.
When my sister heard these familiar voices, she hugged her head in fright, squatted at the door and shivered, and did not dare to enter the house at all.
Xuan Yuan frowned and stepped forward to push open the door of the living room.
The tables, chairs, benches and food in the living room were messy and overturned, and her mother Zhou Jingshu was being pushed against the wall by her father Xuan Tao with one hand by the collar, and the other fist was about to hit her mother in the face.
Xuan Yuan rushed over in three steps and two steps, grabbing his father's wrist.
Xuan Tao felt his hand tighten, and he couldn't swing his fist.
When I looked back, I realized that it was my son who stopped me.
Xuan Tao was stunned for a moment, and then a little surprised.
I didn't expect a son who has always been cowardly, timid, and submissive.
Do you have the courage to stop yourself?
The next moment, his face was full of blood and qi, and he quickly turned red, and said gloomily:
"Let go!"
Look at the terrifying faces of the memories that have awakened the predecessor from nightmares countless times, and the oppressive atmosphere like an imminent volcanic eruption.
Xuanyuan's heart has no waves.
Mother Zhou Jingshu was pressed against the wall by her father, with tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, and opened her mouth to persuade:
"Kid, it's okay, don't worry, Mom is fine."
"Hurry up and let go, don't make your dad angry."
Father Xuan Tao tried to move his right hand again, and found that Xuan Yuan still did not let go, his temper exploded instantly, and his face was red like an angry bull, and roared loudly at Xuan Yuan:
"Rebel!"
"Let you go! Are you deaf? ”
"The skin is hard, and it owes a beating, isn't it?"
Xuan Tao roared and spewed out spittle, sprinkling Xuan Yuan's face.
Xuanyuan just calmly stretched out the sleeve of his left hand, wiped the saliva from his face, and stared at his father who had fallen into madness.
Looking closely at it, this existence that once made the front body tremble, like a nightmare, did not dare to face it directly.
It can be clearly felt.
Even if this body no longer belongs to the predecessor, there are still waves of fear of his father Xuantao in his body.
If the predecessor is here.
At this time, I'm afraid I'm already so scared that I can't move, and I can't say a word, right?
For Xuan Yuan, the residual fear reaction in his body was not enough to shake his mind, and it only made his hands and feet tremble slightly, but it did not affect his actions.
Harness the body's unconscious response and look directly at the source of the fear.
Xuan Yuan continued to grasp Xuan Tao's wrist, did not let go, and did not speak.
Father Xuan Tao let go of his mother's collar and turned around to hit him with his other hand, but Xuan Yuan grabbed him again.
This time, both hands and wrists were grabbed, and they couldn't continue to move.
Father Xuan Tao became even more annoyed, the green tendons on his forehead bulged, and his muscles trembled and wrestled with Xuan Yuan, trying to break free.
Then he was horrified to find that Xuan Yuan's arms were so strong and powerful, like iron hoops restraining his hands.
He was even pushed back by Xuanyuan, retreating to the wall step by step.
Little by little, it was half-hung on the wall.
Just like he had just pushed Xuanyuan's mother against the wall.
He was now also pushed against the wall by Xuanyuan, completely unable to move.
