【You experienced a painless journey】

[When you open your eyes, you find yourself in a world of steam and magic, and your body has become that of a 15-year-old, weak and ordinary.]

[You have no ID, no money, and no bowl at the beginning]

[As a time traveler, you are not too panicked. You slowly explore the surrounding situation and prepare to start from scratch in this world.]

[Although your 15-year-old body has not yet fully developed, you already have the ability to be self-reliant. This is your greatest asset and confidence. You cheer yourself up in your heart and struggle to climb out of the sewage.]

Booming steam.

meshing gears.

Efficient magic.

At night, steel and steam, magic and mystery together form the central hub of the huge city.

What woke Xu Xi up was an extremely sharp and long whistle.

"beep--!!!"

Open your eyes.

The left and right sides are blocked by tall red walls, leaving only the middle area, revealing the dim sky and some yellowish light from street lamps.

Suddenly, hot white steam erupted from nowhere.

Hit high into the sky.

Colliding and reacting with the cold evening breeze.

It formed dense floating water droplets that filled the entire line of sight, and then dispersed into mist again, slowly and evenly pouring into every corner of the city.

This fog obscured the view, and from time to time, curses could be heard from all over the city.

So.

Xu Xi saw it.

A figure wearing a robe and holding a magic wand floated in the air and waved it at will. A huge fire storm appeared in the sky and swallowed up the mist completely.

The city returned to peace again.

Praise the almighty magic and the noble God of Fire.

People prayed like this.

This era is so magical, the belief in gods spreads all over the earth, the power of magic is upheld, and the convenience of steam is also combined. However, in the great corners, there are some dark sides that are often overlooked.

"How should I put it? When simulating time travel, couldn't you give me a good start?"

Xu is struggling.

Climbing up from the alley with difficulty.

This alley is filled with black sewage, which is not only smelly but also inexplicably corrosive. Compared with the hungry people start of the last simulation, it is as miserable as ever.

Xu Xi was very suspicious whether this simulator was deliberately messing with him.

"In short, first find a way to solve the most basic necessities of life, and then consider studying magic."

After standing up.

Xu Xi staggered out of the alley.

In this new simulated world, he doesn't have any extraordinary powers, nor does he have eternal tears, so he can't eat his sister's food.

Fortunately, I have three talents, so being self-reliant is not a problem.

【You have taken the difficult first step】

[Through asking around, you learn that you are in the city of Allenson, located in the north of the world. This is a large city equipped with highly efficient steam equipment. The main worshippers are the God of Fire, the God of Blacksmiths, and the Goddess of Harvest.]

[If you are a newcomer, choose to earn your first pot of gold through physical work]

[You succeeded. Although you were exhausted, you earned your first meal and your first small fortune, three copper coins, with your own sweat.]

You counted ten minutes.

[You are extremely relieved that everything is going according to your plan]

[You choose to temporarily settle down in the slums. The food here is cheap and good, and you don’t need to rent a house. You can find a dirt floor with two or three pieces of iron and it will become your new home.]

…

[A year has passed. During this year, you have successfully mastered the basic intelligence of the world and know what to do next.]

This is an era ruled by gods.

[Countless people have gained the ability to manipulate magic by believing in gods. The deeper their belief, the stronger their magic skills. Some people will even be chosen as gods' agents, known as demigods.]

[There are also magicians who do not rely on faith in gods and choose to practice on their own. They are called elemental mages.]

[By understanding everything, establishing a connection with the elements, and releasing magic]

[This is an extremely difficult road. As long as you believe in the gods with enough piety and devote your heart and soul to them, you can become a strong person in a short period of time. However, elemental mages can only move forward step by step, and few people choose this path.]

[You smiled. You happen to have a very good elemental perception talent.]

[At the same time, you have no interest in believing in gods]

[You spent all your savings, which you had worked hard for a year, and went to a store in the city center to buy a bottle of the lowest grade slime, which is known to be the worst magical material and the only item you can afford.]

One year later.

slums.

Ignoring the foul stench that permeated the surroundings, Xu Xi sat in his "home" with an expressionless face.

If that building block made of a few iron plates on a dirt road could be considered a home.

"One year... Tsk."

"Although my senses in the simulation are not as sharp as in the real world, I have had enough of living in the slums for a year."

Xu Xi sighed, shaking the transparent and colorless slime in his hand.

The mucus was contained in a transparent bottle with a good airtightness. It slowly poured back and forth following the shaking of the bottle.

Practice using slime.

This is an impossible thing.

But the Xu system is different.

A long time ago, Xu Xi chose the magic side as the new simulation world and prepared for it for a long time. He prepared the meditation method for practicing magic in advance and read various training matters.

And in this simulation, he has the special entry of elemental perception.

therefore.

A miracle that was impossible to happen was born in the slums.

…

【You became a magic apprentice】

[Through meditation, you successfully sensed the life element in the slime, and your brain was surprisingly calm, reaching the upper limit of what a mortal can have, and engraved this elemental fluctuation in your spiritual consciousness]

[You have therefore learned the Level 0 magic: Life Slime Generation]

[You left the slums and went to the Magician Association in the center of Allenson, registered and enrolled as a magician apprentice, and received a benefit of 10 silver coins every month]

[Your life has improved and started to get better in a real sense]

[You have crossed the class barrier, from a slum dweller to a distinguished magic apprentice. Everyone is shocked by you and thinks you are a devout believer of the goddess of life.]

[Because in this world, elemental mages are extremely rare. Even if someone wants to learn, it is difficult to comprehend the elements. They are said to exist only in stories.]

[You smiled, neither admitting nor denying]

[In an age when everyone believes in God, atheists are considered heretics. The misunderstandings people have about you can help you live a safer life.]
