Starting as a pirate, he rose to become the strongest Shinigami in Soul Society.

Chapter 1: The Fierce General Who Hangs Out on the Streets.

Sphinx Street is a notorious chaotic street in Newdale.

This place is filled with all sorts of low-end pubs, casinos, dance halls, billiard halls, and the like.

As a result of these shops, there are also many street thugs and gangs, so violence occurs here almost every night.

For example, at this moment, the floor-to-ceiling window of a billiard hall was smashed from the inside, and a bloodied and disheveled figure rolled out.

Immediately afterwards, a strong figure stepped out from the broken French window.

The figure was nearly two meters tall. With a single step, he broke a piece of rough wooden window panel that was lying on the ground, indicating that he was quite heavy. However, judging from his physique, he was not bulky, but rather burly and strong. His mere physique was incredibly imposing.

He stepped on the tumbling, disheveled figure, and the colorful streetlights shone on the face of this fierce warrior. His face looked very tough, with distinct features, big eyes and thick eyebrows. At first glance, he looked a bit fierce, but upon closer inspection, he appeared heroic.

Ignoring the ongoing street turmoil in the billiard hall behind him, Meng Jiang stopped the rolling figure with a kick and immediately sat down on the unfortunate guy.

The pressure almost made the poor guy cough up two more mouthfuls of blood.

Seeing the unfortunate guy beneath him faint, the fierce general didn't care. He casually picked up a newspaper that someone had thrown away, ignoring the stains on it, and started reading.

The Sodexo resistance has been defeated, and the Empire's westward expansion has once again achieved success!

The capital city has reopened an unknown interdimensional portal, resulting in the complete annihilation of the advance team. The portal is expected to be forced to close in three days.

A series of horrific cannibalism cases have erupted in the city of Vandir, suspected to be related to a malfunctioning interdimensional portal that suddenly opened there six months ago.

"The world is getting more and more chaotic," Bane said, shaking his head with a sigh.

Bane, this fierce general, is not a local. He was someone who inexplicably traveled to this world two weeks ago.

During this time, whenever he recalled the situation, he felt extremely frustrated.

He originally had a very successful career in his own world thanks to his handsome looks, humorous personality, and some special talents.

And not long ago he won over his landlady, who was young, rich, had a great figure, and was beautiful.

Having finally secured a free stay in his landlady's mansion, Bane had already envisioned his future. But the moment he opened his eyes in his landlady's gentle embrace, he found himself transformed into a street thug.

Although Brother Mengjiang's physical condition is very satisfactory, who can bear the sudden fall from a big villa to being on the streets?

Therefore, he felt that his time travel situation was not ideal.

Fortunately, Bane has a pretty good mental fortitude and has now accepted this reality.

The original owner of this burly body seems to have died in a chaotic street fight, and there is still a scar behind the ear that has not fully healed.

The original owner was not an ordinary person, but a special person with superpowers, registered and marked as an "E-level" ability user by the Imperial Special Abilities Administration!

This ability is physical strength.

Simply put, their physical fitness far surpasses that of ordinary people; their strength, muscle density, bone strength, and so on all exceed the level of ordinary people.

That's right, Brother Mengjiang is a genuine gifted individual!

Even so, they can only be considered E-rank. The empire has been passed down for thousands of years, and the number of E-rank ability users that have appeared during this time is countless. They are not exactly rare, but you can always find a few every two streets. Especially in recent years, the interdimensional portals that have appeared randomly all over the world without explanation have brought unimaginable changes to the empire. All kinds of strange and bizarre powers from other worlds have begun to impact and change the old order!

Therefore, even though Brother Mengjiang is an ability user, he is not a particularly powerful character. This ordinary ability only allowed him to become a leader in a street gang.

"As expected, my transmigration wasn't going well," Bane thought to himself with a self-deprecating laugh.

In those short ten minutes or so, the chaos in the billiard hall behind him gradually subsided.

Soon, a henchman who wasn't particularly strong but had a sinister aura led a group of thugs out of the house, dragging a man who had been beaten beyond recognition and was covered in blood.

"Boss, the debt has been collected."

Along with this report, a very sensible younger brother handed over a paper bag of cash.

Bane casually took the billiards without counting it, then glanced back at the shattered billiards hall, where people were lying haphazardly on the floor.

Ignoring the scene, Bane casually patted the head of the man being dragged and sneered, "On Sphinx Street, no one can owe me money. You think you can just pick a bunch of scum from somewhere and tell me you won't pay me back?"

After a moment, there was no response, which made Bane feel a little embarrassed.

He was just about to teach this guy another lesson when he seemed to remember something. He reached out and touched the man's nose, waited a moment, and then cursed angrily, "I told you to go easy on me, didn't you hear me? If you had just killed me, people would think I was some kind of ruthless killer!"

The underlings seemed a little surprised, but after a moment, one of them said nonchalantly, "Boss, this is New Dar. It's just a matter of one or two people dying. Nobody will care."

"That was before. The newspapers said that the Empire had defeated the Sodis resistance and the westward movement had achieved new success. Next, the Empire will definitely continue to establish itself on the front line. New Dar will no longer be the front line. This place will become a supply station for the front line. Therefore, order will inevitably be rebuilt. There won't be such a relaxed environment for us gang members in the future." Bane shook his head and said.

However, as soon as I finished speaking, I felt it was pointless, and I realized that these people might not understand anyway.

He decided not to explain anything further, casually pulled out two bundles of cash from the paper bag, picked out a henchman he didn't like, and said, "This life is on your head. Here's 20,000 yuan. Take it and run away. If you don't have enough money, go ask for more on the street. Come back when things have calmed down."

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Running away to avoid trouble is commonplace for the street thugs of New Dar. After all, the local investigation bureau is just so-so. If a case drags on for ten days or half a month without any progress, no one will care anymore. They can just come back then.

Even in these street brawls, it's questionable whether anyone will report it to the police; they might just end up getting 20,000 yuan for nothing.

Therefore, the henchman happily accepted the money and said, "No problem, boss."

But he quickly realized what he meant and asked, puzzled, "But boss, what do you mean by 'if that's not enough, go to the street'?"

"Figure it out yourself," Bane replied casually as he put away the paper bag and stood up.

He has decided to quit street life. Gang work is a dead-end business. He's only been going along with the crowd for the past two weeks to familiarize himself with the world and make some money on the side. Now, he should find a more promising path for himself.

After letting his underlings go off to have some fun, Bane left the street and headed towards his home.

That's right, as one of the gang leaders, he still has his own home in Newdale City.

However, he now plans to sell the house, leave this awful place, and start over. After all, too many people here know he's involved in organized crime. Wherever he goes, he might be called "boss" or have two enemies suddenly appear who want to fight him to the death. How can he start a new life under such circumstances?

As Bane was thinking about these things, he walked into the stairwell. Just as he turned the corner and was about to go upstairs, a strange energy fluctuation suddenly spread from Bane's heart, making him feel a little palpitating and his physical strength rapidly draining away.

Before Bane could figure out what was going on, a void gate shimmering with multicolored light suddenly appeared in front of him.

Instinctively, Bane exclaimed in a low voice, "A portal!?"

Hello everyone! After many days, I'm finally launching my new book today.

This is my first time writing a book on Qidian. From this perspective, I should be a complete newbie. I hope that all the readers and experts on Qidian will take good care of me. Please feel free to point out any problems, and I will definitely accept them humbly.

However, before this, I also published books on two other platforms, one under the pen name Zippo and the other under the pen name Orange and the Sea. Many of my long-time readers have been supporting me, and I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to you all for your support over the years!

With the release of my new book, I dare not claim how good my writing is or how great my technique is. These are not things I can decide. Everyone has their own taste, but my readers who have supported me in the past should not doubt my character.

I have also written tens of millions of words and published more than ten books. My main focus is on seeing things through to the end, so you can rest assured that I will be well taken care of!

Lastly, I hope everyone can continue to support me. Thank you so much!
