Near a newly formed Tacet Field.
Lucian peeked halfway out of the bushes, his gaze fixed on a black-haired, straight-haired beauty not far away.
Within half a second, his attention was completely captured by her long legs.
Lucian wiped away the nonexistent drool from the corner of his mouth.
Before Lucian could thoroughly "critique" the sight, the black-haired beauty suddenly snapped, turning her sharp gaze toward him.
Lucian froze, but before he could react—
With a wave of her hand, the woman summoned a white, unidentified creature that floated straight toward him.
Lucian panicked, scrambling to flee, but it was too late.
The white creature bound him tightly and delivered him right in front of the black-haired woman.
Her voice was flat, devoid of emotion.
Lucian hastily replied, "I'm a law-abiding citizen! A perfectly innocent, upstanding citizen!"
The woman crossed her arms, clearly unimpressed with his answer.
Lucian forced a nervous chuckle. "Uh… could you maybe let me go first? I can't breathe!"
His face was flushed red from suffocation.
The woman snorted coldly and signaled Youtan to release him.
The moment his feet touched the ground, Lucian exhaled in relief. After straightening his clothes, he suddenly adopted a solemn expression.
"I hail from the Land of Light. After a disagreement with Ultraman King, I was banished to this world."
"Not only that, but he stripped me of all my power. Yet I refuse to yield! This time… I shall reclaim everything that is rightfully mine!"
His declaration was bold, thunderous, and brimming with conviction!
But the moment he finished speaking—
A mechanical chime echoed in his mind.
[Your bullsh*t skills have been acknowledged by this System.]
[The "Solaris' Strongest Resonator" Training System has been activated!]
[Main Quest 1: Become Solaris' Strongest Man!]
[Reward: S-Rank Skill Draw ×1, S-Rank Weapon Draw ×1]
[Beginner's Gift Pack has been automatically opened!]

[Obtained D-Rank Skill: Running in Style Lv.1]
[Running in Style Lv.1: Increases escape speed by 10%. Your fleeing posture leaves a lasting impression on onlookers.]
[Points can be used to draw new skills!]
Lucian was stunned. Even a System showed up? No doubt about it—I've really transmigrated!
Meanwhile, the black-haired beauty before him—Baizhi—furrowed her brows.
She carefully weighed the validity of his words.
"Where is this Land of Light?"
No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't recall any place called the Land of Light in Solaris.
"It's in the distant M78 Nebula!"
M78 Nebula? Is he from beyond this world?
Baizhi narrowed her eyes, scrutinizing Lucian. His expression was as firm as a man taking an oath to join the Party.
Baizhi felt deceived, but she had no proof.
"Youtan, tie him up again."
Lucian paled, about to bolt when suddenly, a voice called out.
Three more girls descended from the sky via gliders.
A red-haired girl spoke up: "Baizhi, isn't this a dormant Tacet Field? Why are you at its center?"
The redhead continued eagerly: "Baizhi, listen, we— Huh?"
But Baizhi didn't stop beside her. Instead, she headed straight for a black-haired girl.
Youtan circled the girl once before Baizhi relaxed slightly.
"It seems… she's unharmed."
The red-haired girl Chixia grinned. "Rover can run and jump just fine! Took down at least a Elite-Class Tacet Discord in a few moves, even more energetic than me! Heh, heh!"
"But… who's this guy?"
She pointed at Lucian.
Lucian, who had been sneaking away, stiffened mid-step.
"Youtan, don't let him escape."
Youtan instantly floated over and wrapped around Lucian again.
His face darkened. "This Running in Style skill is useless!"
[I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush!]
[Can't you see it's only Lv.1? Get it to Lv.10, and you'll be Solaris' fastest man!]
"I wanna run, but I can't escape…"
Chixia poked Lucian's cheek.
Lucian had transmigrated with his original body, so his clothing stood out starkly compared to theirs.
Baizhi remained suspicious.
"This man is suspicious. We'll take him to Jinzhou City later."
As soon as she finished speaking—
The ground trembled violently.
Black stone pillars erupted from the earth as a violet shockwave burst from the Tacet Mark at the Tacet Field's core.
The sonic assault forced everyone to clutch their ears in pain—except Lucian and the black-haired girl.
Then, a white monster lunged at the girl from behind.
She reacted instantly, drawing her Sword to block the attack. Gold and purple light illuminated the night.
An invisible barrier suddenly separated Baizhi and Chixia, leaving only the two girls and Lucian, still bound by Youtan.
"Where the hell did I end up?! Is this world always this dangerous?!"
Lucian's lips trembled as he stared at the muscular monster, its snarling face seemingly mocking their weakness.
He patted Youtan. "Hey, buddy, we're in danger. Shouldn't you let me go?"
Youtan blinked at him, then at the monster, before finally releasing Lucian and floating forward to assist the girls.
"That's more like it."
Lucian rubbed his sore arms.
The girl in a blue hat Yangyang shouted urgently: "That's an Overlord-Class Tacet Discord—Crownless! Be careful!"
Just then, the System's voice echoed in Lucian's mind.
[Option 1: Flee alone. Reward: A finely crafted Crownless-patterned urn.]
[Option 2: Help Rover and Yangyang win the battle. Reward: Varies based on performance.]
[Option 3: Taunt Crownless and draw aggro. Reward: Running in Style +1 Level.]
Though the Crownless-themed urn was tempting, Lucian wasn't ready to die yet.
He took a deep breath.
Lucian unleashed a Lion's Roar at Crownless.
The beast paused, confused, while the two girls gaped at him.
At this moment, he was the brightest star in the crowd.
Slowly, Lucian raised his hand and flipped the bird.
His gaze carried 30% disdain, 30% scorn, and 40% sheer nonchalance. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novel[f]ire.net
His voice boomed across the battlefield, shaking the heavens themselves.
