douluo dalu: Excalibur

Chapter 1: Awakening of Destiny

A dimly lit orphanage room. The scent of old wood mixed with the faint aroma of morning dew lingered in the air. Xiao Ren slowly opened his eyes, his mind still groggy from the deep slumber.

"Where am I?" he murmured.

Memories flooded his mind. He was no longer on Earth. His past life had ended, and he had been reborn into this world—Douluo Dalu. A place where Spirit Masters reigned supreme, and strength determined one's destiny.

He clenched his fists. A month had passed since his memories awakened, and with them, something even more shocking—the System.

[Ding! System Activation Complete. Welcome, Host.]

At first, he had been skeptical, but the system was real. It provided him with an unprecedented advantage.

[As part of the initial activation, the host receives the following gifts:]

[Excalibur Martial Spirit: Holy attribute, energy absorption ability (healing, recovery, and spirit ring age increase).]

[Personal Dimension: 100 km space with 100x herb growth rate.]

[10 Anbu Members: Spirit Sage cultivation, absolute loyalty.]

[1,000,000 Gold Coins: Initial support.]

A golden sword materialized before him, radiating an overwhelming aura. Unlike others, he didn't need Spirit Hall to awaken his martial spirit—the system had done it for him. And the result was beyond extraordinary.

"Excalibur… a divine martial spirit," Xiao Ren whispered, his heart pounding.

Innate full spirit power. A personal dimension. Ten elite warriors under his command. A fortune in gold. He had everything he needed to forge his own path.

With the help of the Anbu, he set off into the wilderness to obtain his first spirit ring. After days of searching, they located a 500-year-old Holy Tiger, a rare spirit beast with a strong holy attribute. With the Anbu's assistance, he swiftly defeated the beast and absorbed its spirit ring. As golden energy surged through his body, his Excalibur martial spirit resonated, enhancing his abilities further.

[Ding! Spirit Ring Absorbed. Host's Spirit Rank Increased to Level 13.]

[First Spirit Skill Acquired: Holy Boost - Increases all attributes by 50%.]

Now armed with his first spirit ring and a powerful spirit skill, Xiao Ren returned to Nuoding City. Using a portion of his gold, he discreetly purchased a small mansion at the city's outskirts, making it his personal base. From here, he would focus solely on cultivation, growing stronger in the shadows, waiting for the right opportunity to reshape his destiny.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Ren's eyes gleamed with determination. Strength ruled this world, and he would cultivate in the shadows, growing until no force could stand in his way.

His journey had begun, and he would walk it alone—unseen, yet unstoppable.
