LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 1:
Chapter 1: Ten Thousand Races Continent, Unlimited Avatar System!:
-On the Blue Planet.
At Lincheng No. 1 Middle School, thousands of senior high school students gathered on the playground. Their faces reflected a mix of tension and anticipation. Today was Awakening Day.
In the crowd, Li Ange stood quietly, his gaze fixed on the mysterious and ancient awakening circle on the high platform. Excitement and hope filled his heart.
Having lived in this world for eighteen years, Li Ange understood its essence. A long time ago, the Ten Thousand Races Continent had descended upon this world. At the age of eighteen, everyone would activate the Mark of All Races, signaling their entry into the ranks of Sect Masters.
This was an era of universal Sect Mastership. The ultimate goal for everyone was to elevate their Sect into a holy place.
Powerful Sects controlled vast resources and nurtured countless mighty warriors. In contrast, weaker Sects faced destruction or were forced to become vassals, offering their resources in exchange for survival.
Li Ange glanced at his right palm, where a golden mark glowed faintly—the Mark of All Races. In three days, this mark would transport him to the Ten Thousand Races Continent, where he would officially become a novice Sect Master.
But before that, there was one more chance—awakening through the mysterious circle.
Awakening could bestow various Talents: enhanced physiques, supernatural abilities, or even the inheritance of powerful figures. However, the odds were slim—only a 10% success rate. Among the thousands of students present, only about a hundred would succeed.
“Students,” the principal’s voice echoed across the playground, silencing the crowd.
“Today is Awakening Day—the day that may change your destiny. Those who awaken a Talent should remain humble and use it wisely to become strong. Those who fail should not despair. History shows us that even without Talent, greatness is achievable through perseverance.”
“In three days, you will enter the Ten Thousand Races Continent. On behalf of the school, I wish you all success.”
After his speech, the principal signaled a teacher to begin the ceremony. One by one, students entered the awakening circle.
The process was silent.
The teacher presiding over the ceremony never announced the results, but the students’ expressions as they exited often gave it away.
Time passed, and soon it was Li Ange’s class’s turn. Nervous whispers filled the air, though Li Ange remained alone and quiet. Withdrawn and friendless, he stood apart.
As the student before him exited with a disappointed face, Li Ange knew their awakening had failed.
“Don’t worry, just close your eyes and relax. It’ll be over quickly,” the teacher reassured him, offering the same encouragement to each student.
Li Ange nodded and stepped into the circle. Warmth enveloped him as the mark on his palm began to glow.
[Successfully activate the Mark of All Races. Storage space of 100 cubic meters unlocked.]
Everyone received this standard storage space during the awakening ceremony.
“Next!” the teacher called after ten seconds. Li Ange opened his eyes and exited the formation.
He had not awakened any Talent.
Li Ange, however, remained calm.
[Ding! The host has successfully bound the Unlimited Avatar System. The system will activate upon entering the Ten Thousand Races Continent.]
A system!
This was why Li Ange was unfazed.
A system was far superior to any Talent. For now, though, it would remain dormant until he entered the Ten Thousand Races Continent.
The awakening ceremony continued until the afternoon. Afterward, students returned to their classrooms. Li Ange encountered no ridicule or dramatic confrontations; his quiet and handsome demeanor often left him unnoticed.
That evening, the homeroom teacher reviewed details about the Ten Thousand Races Continent, reiterating points often discussed before.
The next day, Li Ange officially graduated from high school. Without a Talent to train, he returned to his small government-provided home—a single-room apartment with a kitchen and bathroom, allocated to orphans like him.
Sitting at his desk, he turned on his computer and browsed for information about the Ten Thousand Races Continent. Unlike wealthy children who could afford rare props to take with them, all Li Ange could do was prepare food and water while studying strategies left by his predecessors.
On the third day, Li Ange enjoyed a hearty meal and sat on his sofa, waiting for the countdown to begin.
At exactly noon, the Mark of All Races on his palm began to shine with golden light.
[You are about to enter the Ten Thousand Races Continent. Please prepare yourself.]
[Scanning…]
[Scan complete. Connecting to the Ten Thousand Races Continent…]
[Life imprint loading…]
[Data template loading…]
[Various functions loading…]
As these notifications appeared, Li Ange’s vision blurred.
[You have successfully entered the Ten Thousand Races Continent. Location: Newcomer District 6666. Please choose your Sect’s residence and begin construction.]
When his vision cleared, Li Ange found himself in a dense forest. Towering trees surrounded him, exuding an ancient and vibrant atmosphere.
“Open my panel,” he said silently.
[Personal Panel]
[Name]: Li Ange
[Number]: GH54F3823AG
[Realm]: Mortal
[Sect]: None
[Cultivation Technique]: None
[Spells]: None
[Talent]: None
[Supernatural Power]: None
Aside from a blank panel, his storage space contained a single item—a Sword Sect Token, a standard tool for all novice Sect Masters.
Impoverished and resource-less, this was Li Ange’s starting point. Yet, he remained confident and opened another interface.
[System detected that the host has entered the Ten Thousand Races Continent. Unlimited Avatar System is now officially activated.]
