My name is Jia Ru. Before time travel, I was a magic stick, but after time travel, I was a loser.
Others had unnatural starts when awakening their abilities, but I was better off. I had all five attributes, and each one was so weak that even the detector almost failed to detect it. In other words, it is a waste among wastes.
After being recruited by the "Order Escort Agency", my daily life was to be tortured to death by the instructors. The instructor's name is Lin Lin. He looks like a high school student, but his actual age is ninety-two. He is a frozen old monster with a sharp mouth and a soft heart.
The turning point occurred during the first mining patrol. We found an ancient fragment in the mine that eight thousand years of databases couldn't match. What's even weirder is that there is a signal deep in the mine that is not within any known system. It pulsed like a heartbeat, and—it knew I was probing it. The moment I tracked it with my mind, I had a clear feeling of being stared back at by something.
It's not an illusion. It's really "looking" at me.
And the set of five elements of waste in my body seems to be the only key to talking to it.
