In an endless space two men confronted each other.
One wore golden emperor robes with a purple crown on his head and blood colored sword in his hands.
Second man wore white clothes and a brilliant hallo behind him. He has a vertical third eye on his forehead.
"Why did you do that." Golden man roared angrily.
White clothed man replied indifferently, "It was meant to be. Remember the prophecy."
"Hahaha, Prophecy, Prophecy, Prophecy," White clothed man laughed angrily and slashed his sword at the white clothed man.

"Chenli"
"Chenli"
"Wake up"
A boy's eyes flew open.
His back soaked in sweat and his breathing rapid.
"What happened Chenli" A sweet worried voice sounded in his ears.
He took a moment to regulate his breathing and answered the girl "I am fine"
It was a girl with white hair and blue dress. At this moment she was looking at Chen li worriedly.
"Shoud we go to nurse's room." She asked
"It's okay." Shi Chen li said with a smile.
As the girl was going to say something a middle age lady in cheongsam entered the classroom.
Girl from before went back to her seat.
"Okay students.
In about a minute sky curtain will open and you will start your new life. I wont advice anything at this moment because you have been taught what you should know. Now good luck."
The teacher spoke with an expressionless face.
Shi Chen Li sat there on his seat in a daze.
He was not from this world actually.
He was from earth and sixteen year ago transmigrated into this world 'Blue Star'.
Unlike his previous world, this world has extraordinary power. To obtain these powers every person will enter a game like world and awaken a talent.
As he was in a daze he saw a white light flash in front of him and he came to a white space.
He quickly came back to his senses and looked around.
He knew this place. It was awakening space where people awaken their talents when first entering Sky Curtain.
[Welcome Player]
[Welcome to Sky Curtain]
[Detecting first time entry]
[Do you want to Awaken your talent]
[Y/N]
Shi Chenli quickly chose yes.
He felt a coolness entering his body and moving toward his brain.
[Talent awakening in process…]
[Talent awakening successful]
[Talent Awakened: Reincarnation]
[Grade: !@#$% (Unique)]
Chenli was stunned because he couldn't see the grade of his talent.
He quickly opened his status panel.
Name: Shi Chenli
Age: 16 Y
Gender: Male
Level: 0 (0%)
Attributes:
Strength: 8
Agility: 6
Physique: 7
Will: 10
Spirit: 20 (Normal 10)
Luck: 39
Class: None
Talent: Reincarnation (expand)
To be Awakened (Expand)
Skills: None
Shi Chenli wanted to see what was going on with his talent grade but when he opened his status panel he was stunned, because there were three more bizarre entries.
First was his luck value.
Highest seen luck value was 33 historically but his was 39.
You should now that luck value directly affected drop rates or creation success rate. So, it was a good thing.
Second was his spirit which was directly double than normal people.
After some thought Shi Chenli came to a conclusion that he transmigrated into this world having two souls so double spirit power.
Third thing was also related to this at least Shi Chenli thought so.
It was an extra option for talent awakening.
Chenli was ecstatic because he can have a second talent.
It was not that no one has awakened two talents in history. There were even more than two but none the less they all became legends.
Shi Chenli decided to awaken his second talent and then look at two of them at the same time.
So, while suppressing his joy, Shi Chenli clicked on to be awakened tab.
[Ding!]
[Detected that player has a second chance of talent awakening]
[Do you want to continue?]
[Y/N]
Shi Chenli chose yes and then a familiar feeling came again.
[Talent awakening in process…]
[Talent awakening successful]
[Talent Awakened: 100% Drop Rate]
[Grade: SSS]
Chenli was stunned again. Because this time he can see the grade of his talent and it was directly highest SSS grade.
He burst into laughter.
After laughing for a while he opened his paned and checked his talent description.
[Talent: Reincarnation]
[Grade: !@#$ (Unique)]
[Description
Every time a player reaches the rank limit he will needs to complete reincarnation mission instead of advancement mission.
Rank 1 to Rank 2 will require E level Reincarnation mission.
Rank 2 to 3 will require D level reincarnation mission.
After completing reincarnation mission player's level will be cleared to 0. After completing reincarnation mission players just need enough exp to level up and can advance to next rank before mission without an advancement mission. After every reincarnation mission player will awaken a new talent (growth) according to mission rank and all talents will be upgraded to same level. Mission difficulty will depend on player's choice. Harder missions will give better rewards. Easy Hard Hell Nightmare Nine Deaths]
Holy Shit!
Shi Chenli directly cursed because he couldn't find any words to say at this moment.
He was ecstatic just because he could get a second talent.
But now he can get a new talent for every rank.
As for re-leveling, it wasn't that difficult. The real difficult thing was advancement mission but he needs to do reincarnation mission only once for every rank.
After calming down he clicked on his second talent.
[Talent: 100% drop rate.]
[Grade: SSS]
[Description:
After killing a target, you will get all of its loot 100% every time. Only those things can be dropped that has a certain chance of dropping, i.e. crystals, skills, etc. Things like talent or attributes which has 0% chance cannot be dropped.
Although smaller description than Reincarnation but it summarized everything about this talent.
'Could there be any level above SSS grade' Shi Chenli thought while stroking his chin.
'Forget it I am still far away from that. I'll think about it when the time comes.'
At this moment a notification came.
[Player Shi Chenli, you have awakened your talent. Do you want to enter newbie village.]
[Y/N]
Chenli chose yes.
A white light flashed in front of his eyes and he came to a square.
Chenli looked around and saw that there were people in same attire as him .
They were all newbies like him who entered sky curtain this year.
[Ding]
[Welcome to Newbie Village 63845846282]
[Newbie gift pack issued you can check your inventory.]
[Wish you best of luck.]
Shi Chenli left the square because there were new people appearing on it from time to time.
He found an alley and opened his inventory.
It was a spherical space of about 10 meters diameter.
Everyone would get it when entering sky curtain.
There was a black colored paper package in the space.
Shi Chenli retrieved the paper box and opened it.
There were two things in it.
A black book with 'vine entanglement' written on it.
This was an F grade skill book. A book for mage profession. Because Chenli hasn't changed his job yet so he can learn it. But it will disappear after he changes his job later.
Shi Chenli chose to learn it.
Book dissipated and entered Chenli's forehead.
[Vine Entanglement(F):
[Description: Summon vines to entangle the opponent.
With specific material it can gain additional attributes or functions.]
Chenli wasn't amazed because this was one of the basic skills of a wooden mage.
The second thing was also a book. Much thicker than skill book.
It was a yellow book with 'Materials 101'
It was an encyclopedia on ores, stones, jade, crystals, etc., materials required for forging.
Forging is a sub-profession. It deals with creation of tools.
Chenli also learned this book and a large no of information appeared in his head.
After learning both skills Chenli decided to start leveling up. Because he couldn't wait to get new talent.
He chose slime island in west of the village.
It is a level 1 leveling area with boss being slime king level 2.
Chenli came to west gate of the village and exited the village.
Soon he came to a humid area.
There were many people hunting slimes here. Chenli chose a direction where there were less people and started looking for a suitable target.
Soon he saw a single slime basking in the sun.
Chen Li chose to use vine entanglement on this slime.
Soon s vine broke through soil at him feet and rushed toward the slime.
Slime wasn't prepared so it was caught.
Chenli quickly took out newbie sword and stabbed the slime and shattered its slime core.
[Ding]
[Killed a level 1 water slime.]
[Gained 0.01 EXP]
[Calculating Loot]
[You have got; energy crystal(level 1)*1, slime core (level 1)*1, skill book (Water bullet)*1, slime ball(F grade)*1.]
Chenli didn't check his loot but according to EXP gain he will have to kill 10,000 slimes to level up.
'How troublesome' Chenli sighed and started looking for another target.
Two hours later Chenli has killed one hundred and twenty-three slimes.
He got energy crystal(level 1)*123, slime core (level 1)*123, skill book (Water bullet)*73, skill book (water spray)*20, Skill book (ice shard)*29, Skill book (Devouring)*1 slime ball(F grade)*123.
Chenli was ecstatic because of devouring skill. It can only be dropped by devouring slime.
Chenli chose to learn it.
[Devouring(F)]
[Description: As its name suggest, player can devour anything and absorb its nutrients and energy up to 10%.]
10% doesn't look much but with every upgrade of skill player can get 10% more.
And to upgrade skill there are two methods:
Train a skill intensively and it can be upgraded to next level with enough skill EXP.
Another one is to learn same skill book many times.
To level up a skill from F to E player needs 100 same skill books.
