Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 1 Bai Yang

June 19, 2056, a dormitory at the First Military Academy in Jiangnan.

After taking a shower and resting for a while, Bai Yang looked at his muscular physique in the mirror. He was very handsome, but his expression was very tired.

He had just turned 19 and was a freshman in the elite class.

His daily martial arts training left him almost completely exhausted, and he could only rest at night.

Three years ago, an accident transported him to the world of "Swallowed Star," where he became a minor character with very little screen time.

Bai Yang's original form once passed the quasi-martial artist assessment together with the protagonist Luo Feng, and disappeared after having a meal together.

If it weren't for the mysterious, luminous Earth that appeared in his mind after he transmigrated, activating his memories...

He couldn't even recall ever having crossed paths with them, but now that he knew, he had to seize the opportunity.

As long as you hitch a ride with Luo Feng, achieving immortality is not a dream.

The immortal beings in this world have a guaranteed lifespan of trillions of epochs.

An era is 10081 years, which is the lifespan of a unit called "京"!

"If I could achieve immortality directly, I could buy a planet and become the tyrant of the land. What couldn't I do?"

Bai Yang struck a few poses in front of the mirror. This character, whose lines and plot were cut out of the anime version, is a prime example of this.

The production team gave him a good appearance, and with his current muscles, he has a lot to offer.

The clever and witty fox girls, cat girls, and elf maids in the universe are truly captivating.

But he can't afford to fantasize about the future right now; his immediate priority is to improve his strength, or he'll be in big trouble.

The threat from that bald supervisor that afternoon still echoed in my ears:

"Punching power 791KG, speed 19.3M/S! Bai Yang, you don't even have the strength of a senior student this time!"

"If you fail the test on the 25th, you'll be in the regular class for closed training! Don't even think about participating in the preliminary martial artist assessment! I can't afford to lose face like that!"

Bai Yang sighed, wrapped a bath towel around his waist, walked out of the bathroom, and sat down on the edge of the bed.

Even now, just thinking about that guy's face and tone makes him want to punch him hard.

"The future of system simulation has finally arrived, but things are getting complicated now."

He got up and washed an apple. With a slight movement of his fingers, the fruit floated into the air.

He picked up a fruit knife and casually began to slice it.

After the knife flashed, the whole apple was peeled off and cut into 12 pieces, which fell one by one into the fruit plate.

Bai Yang picked up a piece of food with a toothpick and ate it slowly, pondering what to do.

As a time traveler, he naturally has a cheat code.

The mysterious Earth in my mind, besides enhancing memory, can also project a light screen to display text:

Earth Protection System

Current number of simulations: 0

Countdown: 27 minutes

Earth Points: 1

This system can randomly generate the experiences of members of various organizations on "Earth" and acquire their abilities.

He has been here for three years, and including the newbie gifts he received upon arrival, he has already acquired two abilities and one [Real Simulation].

[Sword Saint Guild]: Ordinary Member - Swordsmanship (Rank B)

[Tsukuyomi Organization]: Experimental Material—Psychokinesis (Rank D)

One year ago today, he was lucky enough to win a chance to simulate the future.

"This simulation is a realistic simulation, lasting 5 years!"

[At 18, a serious illness suffered by the original owner of the body before transmigrating made you less powerful than in the original story. You studied and trained hard and finally got into the elite class of the top military academy in Jiangnan.]

[At 19, due to a hidden illness, your performance was extremely inconsistent, leading many to suspect you of cheating to gain admission. Because you failed Supervisor Geng's test and did not participate in the preliminary martial arts assessment, you missed out on competing with Luo Feng.]

Your cousin Bai Sheng arrives at the school and tries to take you to the Kyoto base city. You disagree, and as a result, you are violently suppressed.

At a Kyoto hospital, you were diagnosed with adrenal gland disorder due to a genetic defect combined with forced training.

Uncle Bai Pianyong feels incredibly guilty, believing he hasn't taken good care of you and is truly sorry to your father. He's using the Bai family's resources to ensure you're hospitalized in a VIP ward for an extended period.

[At 20 years old, after a long period of treatment, you are finally able to be discharged from the hospital. However, your physical condition is far from what it used to be, and becoming a martial artist is now a distant dream.]

At 21, you attempted to secretly cultivate again, but your illness flared up, causing you to be hospitalized and fall into a coma, disrupting your plans. The shelter wasn't prepared in advance, and the Golden Horned Beast attacked major base cities, spreading from Tianjin City to Kyoto Base City.

Bai Sheng risked his life to rush into the beast tide, sacrificing himself to save you, and then you followed him...

This simulation has ended ahead of schedule.

[Earth Points +1]

Holy shit

Bai Yang was stunned. What an unlucky bastard this original owner was!

No wonder he showed up for the martial arts assessment in the original work. Otherwise, even if he hadn't mastered the "Gene Origin Energy Cultivation Method," how could he have disappeared forever without daring to participate in the practical assessment?

Bai Yang slammed his fist on the bed. Everything was heading towards this hopeless future!

If he doesn't pass the school's internal test on the 25th, he won't be able to take the preliminary martial artist assessment and won't be able to meet Luo Feng.

Even if he continues in this physical condition, he will not be able to pass the exam.

The standard for a quasi-martial artist is a punching force of 900 kilograms and a speed of 25 m/s, which he will find difficult to achieve now.

The next simulation will take place after midnight tonight.

This system gave Bai Yang a huge headache, as its definition of "Earth" was extremely broad.

It seems that any organization that believes it is protecting the Earth will be included.

So even villains like the Tsukuyomi organization can be counted.

However, its selection range seems extremely narrow.

Both times in a row, it was characters from "One-Punch Man," which shows a complete lack of breadth.

Where are the Women's Federation, the Justice League, and the Land of Light?

What about Doraemon's Time and Space Administration?

His swordsmanship and telekinesis were too weak; they could only help him cut fruit and perform some minor tricks.

How helpful is this level of ability in this terrifying world?

While he still had some time, he took out his phone and checked it, only to find that he had an email.

Upon checking the sender, it was my uncle, Bai Pianyong!

Thinking back on the events of the past three years, Bai Yang couldn't quite describe how he felt about this elderly man with gray hair.

As someone from the previous generation who lived through the Great Rebirth era, my uncle was old-fashioned and sometimes a bit unapproachable.

Although grateful for his care and attention, Bai Yang's awkward identity as a transmigrator made him try to avoid seeing this elder as much as possible.

Communication between them is usually done via email.

Upon closer inspection, the other party indeed advised him to stop practicing martial arts and that taking care of his health was the most important thing.

Everything is exactly as predicted in the simulation!

With the summer vacation approaching, his cousin will pick him up from Kyoto base city to receive the best medical resources in the country.

"The plot is about to begin, how can you leave now!? It can't be cured, this is a dead end."

Bai Sheng's strength as a high-level general is two whole major realms lower than his current level!

Bai Yang's only option is to gamble with the [Earth Points] that can increase the reward!

Midnight passed quickly, and June 20th arrived!

"System, use 1 Earth Point!"

The system in Bai Yang's mind finished its countdown and issued a notification:

"This simulation begins..."

Congratulations, host! The ultimate creature of the [Monster Association] has been randomly selected: Monster King Orochi!

This simulation has ended. Please select:

1. Orochi's abilities and cultivation level

2. Insights into Orochi's power

3. The Orochi's True Memories

4, Earth Points +1"

Hit the jackpot!

Overjoyed, Bai Yang immediately shouted in his mind, "I choose Orochi's ability!"

My new book has been uploaded. Feel free to give me your feedback, and please add it to your favorites and read it!
