In the park at dusk, the delicate and pretty boy, who still looked like a child, placed his left hand on his chest and stretched out his right hand. He seemed to be about to release something incredible from his palm. His expression was grave and solemn. His eyes that were as bright as stars reflected a figure that seemed to fill the darkness of the entire world.
"Big brother, who are you?"
Standing in front of the young man was a little chubby boy of about five or six years old. He was holding a football in his arms and was dirty all over. When he spoke, his nose drooped and almost flowed into his mouth.
"Hahaha!"
The young man laughed three times. He flipped his right hand and retracted it, covering half of his face and one of his eyes.
Then he said coldly, "Who am I? I have been called the spirit of the mountains, the father of the sun, the ancient spirit, the soul of the animals, the god, the ghost, the little green man. After that, it was gods, demons, demons, aliens, extraterrestrial beings, light particles, and quarks. My titles are constantly changing, but I only have one name! "
"That's right! I am the master of fate, the messenger of justice, the hero that saves the world — Shi Xiaobai! "
After saying that, the corners of Shi Xiaobai's mouth curled up as he looked up and laughed a few times.
Little Fatty sniffed hard and his mucus flowed upwards. His eyes lit up as he said, "So big brother is a hero! Mommy said that Heroes can defeat calamity fiends and protect everyone. Can Big Brother do the same? "
Shi Xiaobai crossed his arms in front of his chest and said with a nod, "Of course. There's no other-universe calamity fiend that I, Shi Xiaobai, can't finish with one punch. If one punch doesn't do it, I'll use two punches! This collapsing world will be saved by me, Shi Xiaobai! And you, young Demon King, from today onwards, you will be my servant. Together with me, you will banish the darkness of the world, break the shackles of fate, and become an eternal hero! "
"I … Can I do it too?" The little fatty was excited and wiped his snot with the back of his hand.
"You have already signed a blood oath with me. As a servant of the King, you will receive a hundred-millionth of my strength. With this strength, you will be able to defeat all calamity fiends! Laugh and be excited, young demon king. Your fate has been completely overturned by me! "Shi Xiaobai pointed at Little Fatso as his eyes burned like the sun.
"Big Brother, can I really … defeat the calamity fiend and protect Mommy?" Little Fatso rubbed the back of his snot stained hand against his clothes. His eyes were filled with anticipation.
"That's right. The Infernal King's soul that has been slumbering in your body for tens of millions of years has been completely awakened by me, Shi Xiaobai. You already possess the power to protect everything! I hereby announce that from today onwards, you will be the second member of Xiaobai's Hero Squad! "Shi Xiaobai said solemnly with a solemn expression.
"Oh yeah!" Little Fatso cheered and ran around the park with the football in his arms. Suddenly, he leaped into the sandpit and threw the football up. With his hands on his hips, he laughed loudly, "I'm a hero. I can defeat the calamity fiends. Mommy will buy me a bunch of snacks. Little Mouse will no longer call me Little Fatso. Little Lei will definitely be willing to be my girlfriend. Wahaha …"
The afterglow of dusk dyed the earth with a warm layer of light red. There were only two people left in the small park. The little fatty was cheering in the sandpit, and the young man not far away had a satisfied smile on his face.
"Xiaobai's Hero Squad has finally welcomed its second member. I, Shi Xiaobai, have taken a small step today, but it will be a huge step for the world."
Shi Xiaobai clenched his fists in front of his chest. His eyes were like torches as he stared at the distant setting sun.
"Gu ~"
A clear sound suddenly came from his abdomen. Shi Xiaobai's delicate face scrunched up as he said with a sigh, "So hungry. In this collapsing world, I, Shi Xiaobai, am already a mortal. "
Shi Xiaobai was not a person of this world. He came from another world. To put it simply, he had transmigrated.
Before transmigrating, he was holding the Seven Star Holy Sword in his hand. He was dressed in golden dragon scale armor, and he was riding on the Myriad Tribulation Qilin. He was locked in battle with the ultimate Great Demon God that devoured the heavens and earth. He only remembered that he had burned his life to use "Excalibur". Immediately, the mountains and rivers were shattered, and the earth cracked. The Demon God was obliterated, but at the same time, he had died of exhaustion. He had died — in-game.
When Shi Xiaobai thought of this, he sighed. "I, Shi Xiaobai, do not play games, but life."
As he played the game, he had transmigrated to this world. Two days had passed. In the past two days, Shi Xiaobai had been wandering around, but he failed to figure out his identity in this world. However, he slowly understood the structure of this alternate world.
This world was actually familiar yet unfamiliar. There were many similarities between the technological civilization and the 21st century's Earth. There were similarly cars, television, computers … but the entertainment civilization was completely different. Daily news was broadcast regarding Heroes and calamity fiends. The programs that were broadcasted were all sorts of cool battles with special effects.
Furthermore, according to Shi Xiaobai's understanding, the people of this world could cultivate Psionic Power, becoming so-called Psionites. And the battles broadcasted on television were all filmed from real scenes. The battle scenes were even more spectacular than the fantasy movies on Earth.
However, after people possessed power, it similarly led to many problems. All sorts of criminals and terrorist organizations emerged one after another. The international situation was also extremely grim. There was smoke hidden between countries.
And the most dangerous thing in this world was the constant appearance of alien creatures. Astral Calamity Beasts that came from the cosmos, alien creatures that suddenly visited, and the most terrifying calamity fiends that came from another world.
Calamity fiends belonged to another plane of existence, but they could break through space and come to the human world at any time. Maybe when you were in the bathroom, a spatial rift would suddenly appear in the toilet, and the calamity fiend would drill out from it, directly disemboweling you. Of course, the chances of a calamity fiend appearing was not high. If you were unlucky enough to encounter one, you could only blame it on your bad luck.
However, since this world was filled with danger, evil and death. Then, there would naturally be specialized existences to resolve these dangers, defeat all sorts of evil, and save lives that were on the brink of death.
This existence was called — Hero.
Hero was not a simple title or honor. It was a global organization. It was a recognized and respected profession. It was a symbol of the strong, a representative of the brave. Heroes defeated calamity fiends, protecting humanity and Earth. This was the consensus of everyone.
"Although I, Shi Xiaobai, am now a weak mortal, there will be a day when I become a powerful Psionite, leading Xiaobai's Hero Squad to save the world. All of this is the choice of the Destiny Stone! "
Shi Xiaobai grinned. Although his stomach was still grumbling in hunger, his eyes were filled with longing for the future.
Suddenly, his pupils constricted violently as his breathing stagnated. This was because he saw a black rift opening about a meter above the sandpit. The rift instantly widened, turning into a black hole the size of a window.
A blackish-purple head extended out of the black hole.
Shi Xiaobai immediately recalled the descriptions of such strange scenes by passersby — the calamity fiend was about to come out!
The blackish-purple head was extremely ugly. The top of the head was bald, and it had three eyes side by side. A black horn protruded from its forehead, and sharp teeth protruded from its lower lip. Sticky black saliva dripped down continuously, burning charred holes in the sand pit and making sizzling sounds.
Little Fatso, who was playing in the sandpit, was only two to three meters away from the calamity fiend that had just extended its head out. And the calamity fiend's three eyes were staring coldly and cruelly at Little Fatso in front of it.
"Quick, quickly run!" Shi Xiaobai, who had never seen such a terrifying scene, could smell the fear that came from the depths of his soul. His legs began to tremble as he roared in his heart. However, his mouth seemed to be stuffed with something, preventing him from making a sound.
At this moment, Little Fatso's terrified but excited voice resounded.
"I'm a Hero now. I can defeat you, you big baldy!"
Little Fatso pointed at the calamity fiend's head. His tiny body trembled slightly, but his voice was filled with firm courage and confidence.
And when the calamity fiend heard this, it suddenly let out a terrifying roar that shattered one's mind.
"It's over. I've angered the calamity fiend."
Shi Xiaobai's vision immediately turned black as the fear in his heart magnified infinitely. Momentarily, his mind went blank.
Suddenly, he felt the entire world freeze. The scene of Little Fatso raising his hands was like a frozen film. The momentum of the calamity fiend crawling out of the black hole also came to an abrupt halt, as though time had frozen.
Everything in front of him had stopped. Even his body could not move at all, as though it was no longer under his control. Only his consciousness remained clear and his thoughts could still move.
"This … this isn't an illusion? It's really … really stopping? "
At the instant this thought flashed in Shi Xiaobai's mind, three rows of gigantic black text appeared in the world in front of him.
[Choice 1: Save Little Fatso (A-level reward)]
[Choice 2: Escape (F-level reward)]
[Choice 3: Spectator (E-level reward)]
At the same time, a fiery voice resounded in Shi Xiaobai's mind. "Make your choice, youth!"
Following that, the fiery voice constantly repeated in Shi Xiaobai's mind, as though it was playing on a loop. It shouted again and again, "Make your choice, youth!"
And through the three rows of black text, he could see Little Fatso and the calamity fiend's figures as motionless as ice sculptures. The branches and leaves of the tree in the distance did not tremble at all, and his body was similarly immobile.
"If you don't make your choice, time will stop at this moment."
Shi Xiaobai gradually calmed down from his horror and determined the present situation. His gaze landed on the three rows of black text.
"Isn't the difference between an A-level reward and an F-level or an E-level … too great? Ahem, how can I, Shi Xiaobai, be tempted by rewards? "
"I … want to save Little Fatso. I have to save Little Fatso. If I can't even save a child, how can I talk about saving the world? It's just a tiny calamity fiend. How can I, Shi Xiaobai, be afraid of it? Tremble and despair. Calamity fiend, your doomsday is here! "
.....
"A-level reward, I, Shi Xiaobai, am coming!"
"I choose Choice 1, Save Little Fatso!"
At the instant Shi Xiaobai made his choice, the sound of the wind reached his ears. The calamity fiend's cruel laughter resounded at the same time as time began to turn!
"Quickly escape! Quickly escape from there! "
This time, Shi Xiaobai roared. At the same time, he charged towards the sandpit. The veins on his delicate face protruded and his eyes turned red, as though he had gone mad.
"Big Brother!"
Little Fatso turned his head and exclaimed in pleasant surprise. His tiny eyes were filled with infinite confidence and reliance.
At the same time, the calamity fiend in the black hole had already stretched half its body out. Two hands had similarly stretched out from the black hole. Instead of calling them hands, it was more accurate to call them two black and purple sickles. The calamity fiend's sickle-shaped right hand had already been raised. In the dark dusk, it shimmered with a cold luster, as though it was the gaze of Death.
"No, don't!"
Shi Xiaobai's eyes widened. His sprinting body was about to reach the sandpit. His right hand that was stretched out was just short of touching Little Fatso's snot flowing round face.
"Puah!"
Boiling blood splattered in front of Shi Xiaobai, splattering all over his face and eyes. It dyed the entire world a coldest red.
Through the dripping blood, Little Fatso's head had flown high up into the air. His body was falling backwards, and blood was constantly spewing out from his slashed neck. The flying round face had turned hideous and terrifying due to shock and fear. However, Shi Xiaobai could clearly see a glimmer of hope that had been extinguished from the pair of eyes that had lost all signs of life.
Little Fatso's eyes were staring at him.
"Big Brother, who are you?"
"So Big Brother is a Hero! Mommy said that a Hero can defeat a calamity fiend to protect everyone. Can Big Brother do the same? "
"Can … Can I too?"
"Big Brother, can I really … defeat the calamity fiend and protect Mommy?"
"Oh yeah! I'm a Hero. I can defeat the calamity fiend. Mommy will buy me a bunch of snacks. Little Mouse will no longer call me Little Fatso. Little Lei will definitely be willing to be my girlfriend. Wahaha … "
"Big Brother!"
“.....”
If despair had a color, it would definitely be the red of blood at that moment.
"Plop!"
Shi Xiaobai's running body suddenly leaped up and reached out his hands to grab Little Fatso's head. Following that, he fell into the sandpit.
"This Demon … hates … being called Big Baldy the most. Heh heh …" A cold and cruel voice came out of the calamity fiend's mouth. It was dry and hoarse, like the sound of a saw grinding against bone.
Shi Xiaobai hugged Little Fatso's head and turned to face the calamity fiend that had completely crawled out of the black hole. His height was not even half the calamity fiend's, so he raised his head. At the same time, hot tears streamed down his cheeks.
"Tremble and despair, Big Baldy! Your doomsday is here! I, Shi Xiaobai, will reduce you to ashes with a wave of my hand. "Shi Xiaobai's tears streamed down his face. Although he was feeling extremely terrified, he still gritted his teeth.
The calamity fiend's eyes flashed with anger. Once again, it raised its right hand that resembled a death god's scythe. Suddenly, it swept towards the youth's neck, as though it was harvesting straws.
Shi Xiaobai felt a pain in his neck as all his vitality was instantly extracted. Immediately, his vision turned black.
.....
"Make your choice, youth!"
A fiery voice suddenly resounded in Shi Xiaobai's mind.
"Make your choice, youth!"
The voice repeated itself once again. Shi Xiaobai was jolted awake and opened his eyes. He saw the three familiar lines of black text in the sky.
And through the black text, he could see Little Fatso's perfectly intact body frozen in place. As for the calamity fiend, it was crawling out of the black hole. At this moment, only its head was sticking out. Similarly, it was frozen like an ice sculpture.
"Make your choice, youth!"
