A bunch of robotic notifications woke Ethan up from his eternal slumber. His eyes were hazy; he could not see for a while, and strange thoughts erged. "What's going on? Shouldn't I be dead?" An even more concerning fact surfaced in his mind, "Huh! Why should I be dead? What's going on?"
He tried to rember the last thing that happened to him, and the last what he could rember was jumping off from the top of a four-story building as his body got pierced by countless spiked rods.
So, I did commit suicide eventually.
But he still felt sothing else missing—an utter emptiness swept through his entire being again. He truly felt so desolate. Tears were flowing out of his eyes uncontrollably.
He did not know what the big blank was in his mories but the sadness was unbearable.
Right at that mont, the robotic voice sounded again.

Ethan was shocked at all this information. It seems he was transmigrated, and the owner of the body was soone nad "Valtar."
This information was engraved in his mind by this enigmatic system. There were many questions in his mind, but before he could voice out any of them, his eyes beca clear, and what he saw made his scalp go numb as an impending sense of doom washed over him.
Around him, for a long, long distance, everywhere were nothing but dead bodies lying on the ground—hundreds, no, thousands of dead bodies, if not more. He could sll the disgusting and pungent sll invading his nostrils mixed with a heavy scent of blood that almost made him vomit, not to ntion his own body was also covered in blood, almost head to toe.
"Grrrrrrrr... RAAAAAWWWWR!"
Seemingly out of nowhere, a heaven-shaking roar resounded throughout the skies. A declaration of boundless rage and wrath of a mighty being that would be sung for a long ti.
Valtar imdiately looked in that direction, and what he saw this ti was sothing that truly made him question his sanity.
A Titan that stood so tall, almost about to reach the clouds, its ginormous body telling a history of countless ages. Its posture was that of a supre being, each of this being's minute movents a gesture of power so great that a simple attack of this being may turn an entire city area into a wasteland.
Yet, this all-powerful creature was at a slight disadvantage because fighting it were two beings as powerful as itself. First was a dragon so large that it almost covered a part of the skies, spewing fire so potent that it would put even the greatest and most dangerous volcano back on Earth to sha. Second was a human-like figure who was holding a trident, though his presence was not as noticeable and overwhelming as the other two mythical beings, he was also almost as powerful as the other two with his diverse and strong mystical abilities.
Despite facing off against two beings as powerful as itself, it didn't seem to be too worried. The defense of the Titan was unmatched throughout this world, and the heaven-shaking roar was that of the dragon letting out its frustration at being unable to hurt the Titan with its all-powerful flas that could burn down almost anything.
The Titan was not all about defense. Considering its huge and all-powerful body with the greatest defense of this world, it should have had the obvious flaw of being slow and leaving openings to many attacks, yet it was not slow at all. Its boundless might caused earthquakes all around, and it almost injured both opposing parties many tis.
Amid that battle, the Titan said to its two opposing parties in utter ridicule and mocking tone, "Is that it? Is that all a Dragon 1 minor stage above, and a Human Mystic 2 minor stage above this mighty one can accomplish, despite working together? What an utter disappointnt."
The dragon let out another furious roar hearing the insult of its arch-enemy and spewed dragon fire, responding in anger, "You dare insult this young lord, you oversized cretin!"
The man holding the trident also responded in slight anger, "Marius, don't let him anger you. He's just playing tricks."
The titanic being sneered in response, "If this is all a young lord of the dragon tribe amounts to, then all I see is an overgrown lizard and a cockroach jumping around alongside it."
As Valtar was almost srized by this battle of world-shaking magnitude, the system reminded him.
[Host is recomnded to run away imdiately in the opposite direction of the battle]
[Otherwise, there is a 90% probability of instant death]
Valtar imdiately awoke from his stupor and realized that was indeed the case. Though those beings were fighting quite far away from him, despite such a great distance, shockwaves and powerful tremors were affecting the place where Valtar was standing.
First, he carefully scanned his surroundings to make sure there was indeed no one apart from him alive and imdiately made a run towards the opposite direction of the battle with all his might. His legs were as weak as cooked noodles; he was barely able to run for five minutes, then exhaustion started to overtake him. He suddenly stumbled and fell. He got up quickly to take a look at what he stumbled upon, and it was a human-like figure but with so dragon-like features. There were also human dead bodies with clothes with strange patterns on them.
Unfortunately, he couldn't think about those too much and again made a run. Finally, after forty minutes of running with so stops in the middle, he seed to be outside of the battlefield and entered into a forest.
[Warning! Warning! Host bodily functions are starting to fail. Must consu water within one minute, or host will die] The system sounded again with a warning as if declaring his unavoidable death.
Valtar felt his entire body convulse in pain. His throat was as dry as wood. He was on an adrenaline rush until now, so his body was forced to keep going on as he was probably already on the brink of death before being awakened—no, scratch that, the one inhabiting this body was already dead, if not, how could he have awakened in this body?
He thought in his mind, "It was probably the damn system that kept this dead body functioning." Then he frantically looked around for a source of water, and to his joy, he probably found one. There was a tall tree slightly ahead of him, twenty to twenty-two ters approximately, and in the tree's body, there was a small carving that exposed its insides, and there was indeed a small flow of water coming out of it.
He again tried to run with all his might, but to his horror, he could barely walk. But his mind was as hollow as a ghost. His mories may have been sealed, but the feelings of emptiness were still present. He didn't give a damn about the pain. For seemingly no reason, an unwavering will to desire to survive and see the vastness of this new world arose within him.
He asked the system at this mont in his mind without saying it aloud, "Hey, system? If I grow strong enough in this world, can I go back?"
The system responded in its usual robotic voice without any change,
[Only if you #$%*&{(})$#@!&^~? -, there may be a possibility]
Valtar did not expect any response, to be honest, yet the system's glitching sound caused a frown to appear on his face and he could not read the text it showed him either. He had an intuition that, it was not that the system was hiding sothing from him but simply that Valtar himself was not strong enough to hold the weight of the words in his mind.
All this ti, Valtar naturally did not stop, despite his physical body reaching its limit long ago. While he was unable to run, he kept walking and walking, and then he started crawling with his hands because his legs were not working anymore.
And when he finally reached that tree and stood up barely to drink the water, the unexpected answer to his question was stated by the system. He imdiately started greedily drinking the water. He could swear it felt like it was the best he ever drank in his entire life, like a thousand-year desert being blessed with enormous rain. Every single cell of Valtar's body absorbed the water. His dead body felt like it was coming alive.
After drinking as much water as he could, he could not keep his eyes open. He simply slumped to the ground right there and fell asleep.
