This isn't Mo Wang's first time transmigrating.
The last time, he transmigrated to a world of immortal cultivation. He got up before dawn every day to meditate and refine qi, and after five years, he finally broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage. Before he could even celebrate, he opened his eyes and found that he'd transmigrated again.
This time, he learned that people in this world could level up by killing monsters.
Didn't that sound a lot easier than cultivating immortality? Excited, he rushed to register and received an adventurer card.
But after killing a full hundred slimes, his experience bar still hadn't budged.
Damn it! Did being from another world mean he wasn't allowed to level up?
Unwilling to give up, Mo Wang turned the card over and over in his hands.
When he flipped it to the back, a line of text appeared before his eyes. Only he could see it.
[Level: Early Foundation Establishment (20)]
[Next Level: Mid Foundation Establishment (25)]
[Progress: 12% (Can be increased by absorbing energy)]
He hesitated, then took out one of the few spirit stones he had left and tried it. The number changed to 18%.
Then he tried a crystal dropped by a slime. It went up to 19%.
He was thrilled. The increase wasn't much, but it meant he could skip the tedious business of cultivation and raise his cultivation directly.
From then on, a strange "Level 0" adventurer appeared in Greenleaf City.
He took the most expensive jobs, fought the most vicious monsters, and made the most money.
He soloed monsters that entire teams couldn't handle.
Nobody could figure out what this eastern traveler was all about.
Until someone saw him flying through the sky on a sword.
"Who are you, really?"
Mo Wang took out his Level 0 adventurer card, flipped it over, and sighed.
"What if I told you I'm not actually Level 0... would you believe me?"
