Chapter 2: Short Ceremony.
"Hold up!, Just one second. What do you an by Null God?!" Lin Mu almost scread in alarm when he heard such a fiendish na. "Null God?.... sounds like the guy who got picked last in the pantheon dodgeball ga."
" Also What’s a Cultivation System?" Lin Mu asked again with a confused look on his face yet the system remained silent. He searched through his mind in other to find out what it ant but he only found a vague explanation.
’ Although i can vouch that am not completely clueless to what a system is, and if am correct, Then cultivation should have sothing to do with those wuxia novels about celestials and immortals that grandpa used to love reading during his leisure ti’s....but if that’s the case, Why do I have a feeling that Null is the na of so bag guy...not to ntion it said Null God, sounds to like a very bad guy, a Final boss who got nerfed in the patch notes....’ Lin Mu winced at the thought.
Nevertheless , since Lin Mu couldn’t do anything about it now, he began walking ho with a pondering look on his face as he stared at his smartphone only to see the strange new app on his smartphone that read " Null God Cultivation System".
" I can’t seem to grasp why a system of all things would co in the form of an app?, It doesn’t seem practical to . I an what’s next?, A heavenly scroll disguised as a PDF?" Lin Mu really found it hard to believe that this simple app in his phone was actually a legendary system like it said.
His face darkened when a thought suddenly ca to mind." Please tell it’s not one of those scam’s sent by hacker’s and scamrs, Last thing I need is ’Prince of Nigeria’ vibes stealing my soul." Lin Mu thought while staring at the app icon with his usual gloomy look.
Feeling a bit skeptical he clicked on the icon, instead of a grand explosion like he expected, His phone only vibrated before it’s screen blacked out. "Yup, totally legit. Definitely not downloading malware that’ll make the Chosen One of identity theft." He remarked sarcastically while staring at his phone screen in silence.
He kept on looking at his phone for awhile as if expecting sothing else to happen but after so ti of nothing happening, He shook his head and placed his phone back in his pocket.
Unbeknownst to him, The mont his phone was placed in his pocket, it coincidentally switched back on, While several fleeting texts and symbols began flashing on the screen.
" I knew it was a scam, I an this is just ridiculous, There’s no way sothing like that could be true right?" Lin Mu asked himself while in doubt.
" I’ve read about thing’s called systems in novels and stories but a cultivation system app is a first for " Lin Mu decided not to keep thinking about it, The sun was going to set soon anyways and he needed to return ho as soon as possible and comnce with his grandfather’s honouring ceremony.
***********
"Am ho..." Lin Mu called out yet all he got as a reply was the aching silence of the house. Having lost his grandfather a few years ago, There was no one else to answer him when he returned to his ho or to be specific, his late grandfather’s ho which was a simple house fit for an entire family.
A house which was once filled with the fond laughter and joy of several was now enshrouded by gloom and silence.
Lin Mu’s ho was as silent as a graveyard and the only sounds that could be heard were the sound’s of leaking pipes and chilling draft’s.
Besides the occasional sounds, the house was properly arranged by him himself, and due to the fact that he didn’t have much money as a teenager, he couldn’t afford to spurge on so things most people could, Like TV subscriptions and the like.
_________________________________________
"Ho sweet ho..., Just , the leaking pipes, and my crippling loneliness."
"What I wouldn’t give for this place to be haunted.....at least then I’d have so company."Lin Mu teased himself a bit, Probably trying to ease his mind from the encounter he experienced earlier.
Not wasting much ti, Lin Mu got to work. He found a spacious spot in the living room and placed his grandfather’s portrait atop the table in the living room, While surrounding it with so eastern decorations and the offerings he had prepared beforehand, Then adding two incense sticks which he lit before the alter.
He knelt before the alter, His mind filled with several emotions and the fond mories he recalled about his beloved late grandfather.
Just when Lin Mu was about to comnce with a bow, His pocket began vibrating rapidly and with it ca an annoying ringing that was heard throughout the sitting room.
Ring!!!
Ring!!!
Ring!!!
’ You’ve gotta be kidding , Who on earth would suddenly be calling by now of all tis ’ Lin Mu furrowed his brows in discomfort before reaching into his pocket and pulling out his smartphone only to be shocked at it’s contents.

"Seriously? A free trial without consent?, Null God, are you my ISP?!!!".
"...No stop this!, I don’t want this!" Lin Mu’s eyes widened with disbelief when he saw his body begin to fade like the sands of ti.
" Please don’t take away, Please!"
" Grandpa!" Lin Mu cried with teary eyes, He tried making his way towards his grandfather’s alter, yet before his hand could reach it, it had already vanished completely.
"Ok I believe you!!, Your a real system so please stop this Damnit!!!" Lin Mu scread when he saw that almost all of his body had already faded like sand in the wind.
" Darn you!!!!, At least warn before dragging into an interdinsional purgatory, you cosmic piece of shi–!!!" Lin Mu yelled before his head turned to sand and scattered as well.
_________________________________________
A few seconds later, Lin Mu’s body slowly began to materialize once more from simple grains of flowing sand till his entire body was constructed out of thin air.
The instant he appeared, Lin Mu felt his throat burn from the scorching air that was swept into his lungs, He opted to slow down his breathing by taking short breaths and fortunately for him it helped in reducing the burning fla within his lung’s.
" Cough cough, Where on earth am I?!" The mont Lin Mu opened his eyes, He was left dumbfounded because of the scene he saw.
Instead of his simple parlour earlier, What ca into his line of sight was a blood red sea of nothing but sandy dunes that filled the land as far as the eye’s could see and a striking red sky.
"This feels like the perfect spot to die of dehydration or get eaten by sothing with too many teeth." Lin Mu shivered at the thought.
