Chapter 1 – Aberration World

Moon Spirit Residential Area, dimly lit.

The entire neighborhood was silent.

Looking up, one could see a large red lantern hanging outside every household’s window.

On each red lantern was pasted a yellow Ghost-Suppressing Talisman.

A sinister wind blew, causing the red lanterns to sway along with it, emitting creaking sounds.

This eerie atmosphere was enough to send shivers down anyone’s spine!

The Lu Household.

The family was sitting together, chatting and laughing merrily over a meal.

Lu Shushan’s face flushed red as he stood up, raising his wine glass with a hearty laugh, saying:

“Our Lu family’s ancestral graves must be emitting auspicious smoke, allowing my son to undergo a Class Change into ‘Fire-Type Ghost Magic’!

And his evaluation is a rare A-grade! Haha!”

Lu Shushan’s son, Lu Ming, and Mother Lu joined in the laughter.

At the dining table.

Ye Sheng sat upright, appearing out of place with the Lu family.

He was an adopted son!

He had been adopted by Lu Shushan since childhood.

Compared to Lu Shushan’s biological son, Lu Ming, his treatment in the Lu family was far from equal.

Ye Sheng smiled as he watched the Lu family celebrate, a trace of emotion flickering in his gaze!

In truth, he was a transmigrator, hailing from a blue planet.

Somehow, he had ended up in this Aberration World!

That’s right!

This world could truly be described as aberrant!

Currently, this world had merged with a game called [Ghost Realm].

The game had manifested into reality!

The entire world was overrun by Ghost Creatures, shrouded in Yin Energy, with no sunlight visible throughout the day!

Once night fell, it was impossible to venture outside.

Residences also required Ghost-Suppressing Talismans to remain safe.

Stepping outside the Base City meant facing hordes of sinister Ghost Creatures!

Various Ghost Realm Secret Zones, Ghost Realm Instances, Ghost Realm Abysses… were countless.

To survive in this world, people had to undergo Class Changes, then frantically Level Up to strengthen themselves!

…

“Dad, you can just sit back and enjoy your life from now on!”

Lu Ming smiled confidently.

Hearing this, Lu Shushan laughed heartily.

Mother Lu also praised her son for his promising future, saying they would no longer have to suffer.

“Brother, we both underwent our Class Changes today, but I still don’t know what Class you chose?”

Lu Ming suddenly shifted the topic to Ye Sheng.

Ye Sheng was two months older than Lu Ming.

Although he was only an adopted son, Lu Ming usually addressed him as “brother.”

Hearing this.

Lu Shushan and Mother Lu also turned their heads to look.

They had been so focused on their biological son that they had nearly forgotten this adopted one.

Like Lu Ming, Ye Sheng had also undergone his Class Change today.

“Well… I’d rather not say!”

Ye Sheng hesitated for a moment.

His Class was somewhat embarrassing!

“Tsk! What’s there to hide? Spit it out!”

Lu Shushan’s voice was rough as he waved his hand impatiently.

However, judging by his adopted son’s demeanor, his Class probably wasn’t anything impressive.

Mother Lu said, “Xiao Sheng, it doesn’t matter if your Class isn’t great. Even if it’s not good, you can still find a job and work!”

“Brother, just tell us!”

Lu Ming stared intently at Ye Sheng, his eyes gleaming.

He looked quite pleased with himself, as if eager to compare himself with Ye Sheng!

Seeing that he couldn’t avoid it, Ye Sheng smiled and said, “My Class is just a ‘Daoist’!”

“Daoist?”

The three of them were taken aback upon hearing this!

Lu Shushan frowned, “A Daoist isn’t bad, but there are strong and weak Daoists. What’s your Class Rating?”

“Yes, Xiao Sheng, what’s your Class Rating?”

Mother Lu also asked.

Class Rating!

It was the best standard for understanding the strength of a Class!

In this world,

The highest Class Rating currently is—SSS rank!

Followed by ‘SS rank’, ‘S rank’, ‘A rank’, ‘B rank’, ‘C rank’, ‘D rank’, ‘E rank’, and ‘F rank’!

His younger brother Lu Ming’s Class is ‘Fire-Type Ghost Magic’!

It is a Class similar to a ‘Mage’.

The Skills are all Ghost Arts, possessing powerful lethality against Ghost Creatures.

The rating is a rare A rank!

Only second to S rank, indicating his Class has immense potential!

This is also the reason why Lu Shushan is extremely delighted.

Under the gaze of the three,

Ye Sheng sighed and reluctantly said, “That… it’s only D rank!”

The Daoist Class is actually quite remarkable,

but Daoists are also divided into many categories, with Skills often carrying an Increase in damage against Ghost Creatures.

However, Ye Sheng’s ‘Daoist’ is just a blank Daoist, without any classification, so it only received a D rank evaluation!

The potential is quite low.

“D rank?”

“That low?!”

The three were stunned!

Lu Ming almost laughed out loud!

Since childhood, he had always enjoyed competing with Ye Sheng and had an extremely strong desire to win.

Even something like who arrived at school first had to be compared with Ye Sheng; he had to beat Ye Sheng to school every day to be satisfied.

Now, hearing that Ye Sheng’s Class only received a D rank evaluation!

Far inferior to his own.

His heart immediately settled!

“That low?”

Lu Shushan frowned, his expression darkening, then as if making some kind of decision, he said coldly:

“Xiao Sheng, starting tomorrow, you should give up the path of a Cultivator!

Honestly find a job to earn money.

Your younger brother will need a large amount of cultivation Resources in the future, so you should contribute your share!”

“Uncle Lu, I…”

Ye Sheng’s expression changed.

Lu Shushan actually wanted him to work to support Lu Ming’s cultivation.

This was asking him to completely abandon his future!

“It’s settled!”

Without waiting for Ye Sheng to say more, Lu Shushan directly made the decision!

This made Ye Sheng’s face alternate between green and white, and an inexplicable anger burned within him.

Since childhood, he had been treated differently by Lu Shushan!

Whatever was good was always given to Lu Ming first.

Even when both of them fell sick at the same time, Lu Ming was rushed to the hospital first.

He was forgotten at home alone, left to suffer from fever by himself.

Now that they were grown up, it was still the same!

“I’m going back to my room!”

Ye Sheng fell silent.

No matter what, Lu Shushan had raised him and shown him kindness.

“Go ahead!”

Lu Shushan waved his hand, shifting his focus back to his biological son, Lu Ming.

…

Ye Sheng returned to his narrow little room. Even after closing the door, he could still hear the laughter of the Lu family.

Clearly, Lu Ming’s ability to undergo a Class Change into an A-rank potential Class had excited the entire Lu family!

They probably wouldn’t be able to sleep all night!

“What should I do?!”

Ye Sheng sighed, collapsing onto the bed, his eyes vacant as he stared at the peeling paint on the ceiling.

Swish!

Ye Sheng waved his hand, summoning the [Stat Panel].

[Character: Ye Sheng

Talent Passive: Talent Passive Awakening… 99.86%…]

Ye Sheng glanced over it, his gaze settling on the last item, ‘Talent Passive’, and he wondered:

“What does this ‘Talent Passive Awakening… 99.86%…’ mean?”

Ye Sheng scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.

Just as he was wondering, the Talent Passive Awakening progress smoothly reached 100% after some time!

Then, a series of Notification Sounds rang out in his mind.

[Ding! Talent Passive Awakening successful!]
