"I still cannot believe that all those transmigration web novels from my previous life were actually legitimate!" Edric thought, his emotions swirling between disbelief and excitement. Even though two days had passed since his transmigration, deep down, he still felt like he was dreaming.
He was once an Earthling. The last thing he remembered from his previous life was sitting and playing an online game on his laptop. In the middle of his gaming session, he clicked on a strange advertisement—an impulsive decision. Moments later, he woke up in an unfamiliar environment, his surroundings utterly alien.
“Fortunately, the game panel and the cheat came with me,” Edric thought, a small smile playing on his lips. The system panel allowed him to track his progress in knight and mage training, while the cheat ensured he would gain a consistent 1,000 XP every single day. With these tools, he was confident he was destined for greatness.Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road.
In his previous life, Edric had struggled just to get by. Life on Earth had been mundane and brutal; he had to juggle bills, manage work, and endure the daily grind with little to show for it. Rarely did he find time to enjoy himself. He was an average man living an average life, far removed from any notion of excitement or purpose.
But in this new world, everything had changed. He had been reborn into a world of swords and magic, where strength and influence reigned supreme. Here, he wasn’t just another nameless face in the crowd; he was Edric Windwalker, heir to a noble family, blessed with power, wealth, and the means to shape his destiny.
“Why would I ever want to return to my old life?” he muttered to himself. “Here, I have everything I could ever want. Back there, I was nobody. Here, I can be a king.”
The memories of the body’s original owner were perfectly intact, seamlessly blending with Edric’s own. Over the past two days, he had used them to adapt to his new reality, flawlessly playing the role of Countess Lyria’s son. No one suspected a thing, and Edric was determined to keep it that way.
"Tonight, I’ll finally reach the Knight stage!" he thought, his excitement bubbling over.
Knights were revered in this world for their strength and skill. From what Edric had learned, even the weakest knights were far above the Olympic athletes on Earth. For someone who had been overweight in his previous life, the thought of becoming a peak physical specimen was exhilarating.
Even his current 15-year-old teenage body was far healthier and stronger than his old one. He could hardly imagine the power and agility he would gain as a knight.
As the son of the countess, Edric lived in comfort and luxury. His room was massive, filled with ornate furnishings and bathed in soft light from crystal chandeliers. Servants and maids constantly attended to him, ensuring that his every need was met. While this level of attention was pleasant, it also posed a problem: his system and cheat had to remain secret. Being constantly surrounded by people increased the risk of discovery.
To avoid raising suspicion, Edric decided to wait until midnight, when he would be alone, to make his breakthrough.
When the time came, Edric stood in the center of his room. The moonlight streaming through the tall windows gave the space an ethereal glow. He took a deep breath, steadied his nerves, and opened the game panel.
“Add 2,000 XP to my knight training!” he commanded.
"Error! Knight training''s max XP capacity of 10,000 cannot be exceeded."
Edric frowned but quickly did a simple calculation. After confirming the remaining XP he needed, he contacted the system again.
"Add 1,393 XP to my knight training!"
A moment later, the system responded:
"Success! Status changed – Knight Training (10,000/10,000)."
Just as the notification flashed in his mind, Edric’s body was engulfed in a fiery sensation. His blood felt like it was boiling, as though molten lava was coursing through his veins. The intense heat made him want to scream, but he clenched his teeth tightly. The guards stationed outside his room would immediately rush in if they heard anything unusual.
Thankfully, the scorching heat subsided almost as quickly as it had started. As his body calmed, a wave of relief swept over him.
