Starting from The Witcher, he slaughtered his way across the world.

A somber moon cast a cold, desolate light in the pitch-black night sky.

In the dense forest, the campfire crackled, and the four people around it were all silent, eating their dry bread. They were dressed in armor, like soldiers, and sat in the position closest to the campfire.

Two other people dressed in cheap cloth shirts were also gathered around the campfire.

Further away, there were seven men dressed in cheap cloth shirts, unkempt and with gloomy expressions and listless demeanor, their hands and feet shackled like those of prisoners.

Among the crowd, a young man, pale-faced and with lifeless eyes, stared blankly at the flickering flames of the campfire ahead.

"Well!"

Suddenly, he cried out in pain, clutching his head in agony. The shackles on his wrists clanged as he felt a sharp, stabbing pain surge through him.

The commotion startled the people nearby, who all cast surprised and puzzled glances at it.

"Hey kid, are you alright?"

A soldier by the campfire frowned and looked over.

"No, it's nothing."

Luo Fan shook his head, his expression softening, his breathing becoming slightly rapid, and a look of astonishment flashing deep in his eyes.

Memories flooded his mind like paint spreading across his soul, flashing through his mind like a revolving lantern, reminding him of his current predicament.

He transmigrated, transmigrated to a terrible world.

The original owner of this body argued with the local tax official over tax issues, was punished on the spot, demoted from a commoner to a lowly status, and was forced to perform forced labor.

They are currently being escorted to a labor camp.

It is now the year 322 of the Noxter calendar. The original owner grew up in a town called "White Oak Town" and knew very little about the outside world, and had no useful information in his memory.

All that was known was that he had a mother suffering from lung disease, and he was put on a carriage to be sent to a labor camp before he could even see her one last time.

"I was sleeping soundly on the train when I put it on?"

Luo Fan found it hard to accept for a moment. Although he didn't have much to miss about his previous life, he had lived a comfortable life.

What's the situation now?

They were demoted to the lowest social class and exiled to a labor camp!

The lowest social class, also known as slave class, refers to the lowest level of society, the cheapest labor force, and is the type of person who is brutally exploited by all those above the lowest social class.

"And all I did was plead with the tax officer for an extension because I couldn't afford to pay my taxes, and after a few words of argument, I was sent away?"

Lofan recalled that because his mother, Adele, suffered from lung disease, all the money he paid in taxes was used to buy medicine.

He wanted to ask the tax officer for a few days' extension to pay his taxes, but the tax officer didn't treat him like a human being at all. In a fit of anger, he argued back and ended up like this.

In his final moments, the original owner was worried about his mother's condition and begged the tax official to let him see her one last time.

Unfortunately, it didn't work out.

"This damn world..."

Luo Fan sighed inwardly. Based on this alone, he deduced that this was probably a cannibalistic world.

"Now that I've been reduced to a lowly status, even if I had the foresight from my past life, I probably wouldn't be able to turn things around."

Luo Fan leaned against a tree, a trace of sorrow welling up between his brows.

He didn't know much about medieval feudal systems, but he did know that under such a hierarchical system, those at the bottom had a hard time getting ahead and rising above their circumstances...

difficult!

It's as difficult as climbing to heaven!

People at the bottom are meant to be exploited. If they dare to have even the slightest extra thought, the powerful and wealthy won't even need to lift a finger; the people below will naturally step in to suppress them and crush them.

Time travel is one thing, but this kind of start is truly despairing.

Luo Fan sighed softly, feeling both cold and hungry. Helpless, he closed his eyes, intending to tough it out.

He had just closed his eyes when a panel suddenly popped up in his dark vision.

[1 enhancement point obtained]

[You can use enhancement points to enhance a specific item]

[Currently available upgrades: Old cloth shirt, old cloth leggings, straw sandals, inferior shackles, basic body strengthening techniques]

Luo Fan opened his eyes in surprise and found that the two pop-up boxes had not disappeared and were still hovering in his line of sight.

"closure?"

Thinking of a possibility, Luo Fan silently recited it in his mind, and the pop-up window in front of him disappeared.

"Open?"

He muttered the command again, and the pop-up appeared once more.

"Could this be...?"

Luo Fan had a sudden thought and first chose the inferior shackles.

[Consuming 1 upgrade point will upgrade the inferior shackles to standard shackles.]

Luo Fan quickly deselected the option and then turned his attention to the other items that could be enhanced.

[Consuming 1 upgrade point can upgrade the tattered cloth shirt into a coarse cloth shirt]

[Consuming 1 upgrade point will upgrade the straw sandals to cloth shoes]

[Consuming 1 enhancement point will upgrade the basic body strengthening technique to LV2]

"Basic Body Strengthening Methods..."

Luo Fan searched through his memories and found that this was nothing unusual.

This is just a set of exercises similar to the Eight Pieces of Brocade and Five Animal Frolics from my previous life. It was learned from the old man next door by my predecessor and was used to exercise his body.

What happens when you reach LV2?

Luo Fan was curious, but dared not try it easily.

He was afraid of making a commotion and attracting the attention of the guards.

Based on the descriptions of the previous enhancements, Luo Fan could deduce some uses: this enhancement point could directly raise the level of any item or skill he came into contact with by one level.

For example, straw sandals were directly transformed into cloth shoes, and even the raw materials changed.

Therefore, this Basic Strengthening Technique LV2 is probably the skill level, which has been directly increased by 1 level.

As for the effects, Luo Fan wasn't sure; it would probably have a direct impact on his body.

"Maybe we can try it after they're all asleep tonight."

Luo Fan thought to himself that the escort team had been traveling for a day and definitely needed to rest.

After the guards finished their flatbreads, one of them took a sip of water, looked towards Luo Fan, and casually pointed at a few people:

"You two will keep watch the first night, and you two will keep watch the second night. Don't slack off, or you know what will happen if I find out. And don't even think about running away. There's no place for you in Notsk. If you're caught, it won't just be simple forced labor."

"Yes, sir, you can sleep soundly."

"We wouldn't dare run away."

The prisoner who was called upon quickly responded, his eyes filled with helplessness.

Those who weren't called breathed a sigh of relief, glad that at least they could get a good night's sleep.

Luo Fan was among those selected; he was responsible for guarding the night before, which suited him perfectly, as he could then test the effects of the enhancement point.

As for running away, he would never even consider it.

Currently, his status is that of a lowly serf, the lowest level of slavery, even worse than a poor person.

The moment Luo Fan was demoted, it meant that he had lost his basic human rights and could only rely on the local lord. No one could prove his identity.

If you're found to have no identity during questioning, you'll basically be treated as a fugitive and killed without anyone burying you.

Unless they intend to become outlaws, but then there would be no possibility of regaining their human status.
