IUD-Chapter 2 First Skill

Previous ChapterNext Chapter


So, after a person dies, where exactly do they go?

Fang Li had no idea. Because Fang Li could be certain that the place he arrived at after his death was definitely abnormal.

“Where… where is this?”

Looking at the surroundings, Fang Li was completely at a loss.

At this moment, Fang Li found himself in a vast open space.

The open space was extremely desolate, with no flowers, plants, or trees. There was only exposed ground, presenting a kind of soil color that didn’t evoke any warmth in one’s heart.

The open space was surrounded by walls on all sides.

The walls tightly enclosed the open space, completely isolating it from the outside world, like a desolate prison.

Although there was no ceiling above, Fang Li didn’t feel the presence of sunlight at all. There was only an unknown light source illuminating the entire space.

In this enclosed space, there was only one door on the wall in front of Fang Li.

“A door?” Fang Li almost subconsciously wanted to walk toward the door when he saw it.

However, at that moment, a cold voice emerged in Fang Li’s mind, causing his body, which was just about to take action, to freeze on the spot.

“Initiating Guidance Message Transmission.”

Guidance message?

What was that?

Just as this thought emerged in Fang Li’s mind, it was as if some forgotten memory was suddenly excavated from the depths of his mind, or as if memories that didn’t belong to him were forcibly infused into his mind and a large number of messages began to surge out.

Accompanying these messages was the cold voice.

“Main God’s Dimension, a space created by an entity known as the Main God.”

“The space has no end, but it is connected to all the worlds that exist in people’s memories in the form of fiction and fantasy.”

“Here, you can obtain the powers you’ve always dreamed of.”

“Here, you can acquire endless wealth.”

“But all of these things must be sought by you yourself. The Main God’s Dimension only provides you with an opportunity.”

“Serial Number 11273, you were selected at the moment of your death and given a chance to live again, entering this Main God’s Dimension.”

“From today onwards, you will become a Divine Envoy in the Main God’s Dimension, shuttling between the worlds one by one, and you will obtain things that others can’t get in their lifetime.”

“Of course, the prerequisite is that you have the capital to obtain all of this— Exchange Points.”

“As a newly entered Divine Envoy in the Main God’s Dimension, you will receive 1000 Exchange Points and 5 free Attribute Points. Please use them wisely to avoid perishing in the first Dungeon World.”

“You don’t have much time left. In thirty minutes, the first Dungeon World will open, and your first trial will come.”

“During this period, you cannot leave your personal space. Only by passing the trial of the first Dungeon World can you truly become a Divine Envoy and open the path to infinite possibilities.”

With those words, the cold voice, like it had completed its quest, quietly faded away, leaving Fang Li with only those numerous messages.

Those messages were like a beginner’s guide in a game, providing Fang Li with basic information about the Main God’s Dimension.

Therefore, Fang Li knew that the voice just now wasn’t some great being having a conversation with him. It was simply a basic function of the Main God’s Dimension, like a system notification in a game.

After receiving all these messages, Fang Li gradually snapped out of his dazed state, and his expression of being at a loss began to become complex.

“To live again… huh?”

This should be considered a fortunate thing, right?

Unfortunately, Fang Li had no feelings about it whatsoever.

“I really don’t care even if I died…”

Yeah.

It didn’t matter even if he died.

Because Fang Li was inherently fearless of death.

No.

It should be said that due to a flaw in his personality, Fang Li couldn’t generate any emotions towards the concept of ‘Death’, and naturally, there was no question of fear.

“But being undying would also be a good thing.”

After all, Fang Li’s lack of attachment to death didn’t mean that he desired to die.

With this thought in mind, Fang Li followed the guidance message and immersed his consciousness in his own mind.

The next moment, a piece of information began to appear.

Character: Fang Li

Race: Human

Level (Rank): Fifth Rank

STR: 1

VIT (Endurance): 1

AGI (Agility): 1

INT (Mystery): 1

(Average attributes for a twenty-year-old human, except for INT, are all 5.)

In the Main God’s Dimension, the abilities of the Divine Envoys mainly consist of three parts.

First: Attributes.

Second: Skills.

Third: Equipment.

All three parts are digitized by the Main God’s Dimension and can be freely accessed by the Divine Envoys, allowing them to constantly understand their own abilities.

Among them, Attributes represent the individual’s basic abilities.

STR determines physical strength.

VIT (Endurance) determines the ability to withstand attacks.

AGI (Agility) determines agility performance or how fast one can move and attack or even evade an attack.

INT (Mystery) determines the potential and extent of Innate Skills related to mystery, that is, the ability to utilize all kinds of miraculous powers.

The abilities of the Divine Envoys start with improving these basic Attributes.

For a twenty-year-old human, the average Attributes, except for INT (Mystery), are all 5.

Although Fang Li is not yet twenty, he is only eighteen this year, his four basic Attributes—STR, VIT (Endurance), AGI (Agility), and INT (Mystery)—are all 1.

“…In other words, even among humans, am I the lowest level of trash?”

The corner of Fang Li’s mouth twitched as this thought suddenly appeared in his mind.

He really wanted to ask, what is the average value of the other three Attributes for a ten-year-old human child, aside from INT (Mystery)?

Could it be that he can’t even compare to a ten-year-old kid?

“Whatever, it’s because I simply don’t like sports.”

Since the age of seven, when Fang Li began to vaguely notice his abnormality so he no longer played around like an ordinary child.

This phenomenon became more pronounced as he grew up, turning Fang Li into a complete Hikikomori.

(Translator- A form of severe social withdrawal, called hikikomori, has been frequently described in Japan and is characterized by adolescents and young adults who become recluses in their parents’ homes, unable to work or go to school for months or years.)

He spent his days clinging to his laptop computer and smartphone. Even when going out with friends, he only indulged in eating and drinking, strictly avoiding outdoor activities like playing basketball.

What kind of physical condition can Fang Li have after living such a life for ten years?

After accepting his incredibly mediocre attributes, Fang Li accessed the Skill panel.

As a new Divine Envoy in the Main God’s Dimension, Fang Li’s Skill panel was naturally empty.

However, to his surprise, Fang Li discovered that he already had a Skill in his Skill panel.

Moreover, it was a Skill that astonished Fang Li.

Mystic Eye of Death Perception (Innate Skill): Able to see the “Death” of things, perceiving the intangible concept of “Death” in the form of visual messages, manifested as graffiti-like “Lines.” When the “Line” of an object is severed, the severed part is directly led to its demise, causing an incurable and irreversible death.

Fang Li was first dumbfounded, and then he began to look around in a panic.

“A mirror… a mirror… even a water surface will do if there’s no mirror!”

Unfortunately, this personal space had nothing, only an open space.

However, the system voice of the Main God’s Dimension appeared once again, delivering its cold declaration as always.

“One ordinary mirror, worth 10 Exchange Points.”

10 Exchange Points?

Then there was no need to hesitate, right?

Fang Li directly confirmed the exchange.

The next moment, a mirror suddenly appeared in front of Fang Li without any warning and fell into his hands.

Holding this mirror, Fang Li finally saw his own face.

It was a face that could not be considered extraordinarily handsome, yet it gave a sense of closeness and had a quite average handsome appearance.

His hair color was black, not shiny, but very pure.

Fang Li distinctly remembered that the color of his pupils was the same as his hair color, a consistent pure black.

However, at this moment, what appeared in the mirror was not the familiar deep black eyes he was used to.

Instead, they were filled with icy blue iridescence, with a central portion resembling a rainbow, displaying vivid and colorful eyes.

“Mystic Eye of Death Perception…”

  1. How cool, let’s order a sofa for another 20 points, and then order a magazine about the philosophy of accepting death for 50 points
