Free Web NovelChapter 1: A New World
Hello everyone, Iโm Mister XD, the author of this novel.
For those who donโt know me, I originally wrote this story simply to pass the time. It was meant to be nothing more than an ordinary novel, and honestly, I never expected it to receive so much appreciation.
However, after we reached more than 150 Collections in just two weeks and so many readers showed their support, I decided to revisit the novel and dedicate much more time and effort to it.
And what a surprise that turned out to be! The revisions exceeded even my own expectations. Many new ideas, events, and exciting elements have been added, while some unnecessary parts have been removed.
In addition, I reorganized and refined many aspects of the story, including the power system, abilities, races, and the fundamental forces and laws that govern the universe.
The original version has been removed, and this is now the new official version of the novel. Veteran readers may find that the changes in the early Chapters are relatively minor, but the differences will continue to grow larger as the story progresses.
I hope you enjoy this new journey, and thank you all for your incredible support.

"Hurry! Hurry! Bring the resuscitation equipment, quickly!"
Many nurses ran while pushing a stretcher toward the operating room amid the screams of numerous people and intense tension!
Amid all this noise, the mind of Rios lying on the stretcher was somewhere else entirely!
"Shit... I got blood poisoning because of all that canned food. Looks like the end has really come."
Rios sighed with a trace of sadness, though it was closer to indifference, as if the idea of death meant very little to him!
Rios was a poor twenty-year-old young man. His parents had died when he was fifteen, leaving him with nothing to rely on. He could barely make it through each day without going to bed hungry. But because of all that canned food and improperly stored leftovers, he ended up with blood poisoning and was now on his deathbed.
"They say death isnโt the end, that itโs the beginning of a new life. If I get another life, I definitely wonโt live it the way I lived this one. My only regret in this life is that I never got to touch a woman and..."
Beep... Beep... BEEEEEEEEEEP
Before Rios could finish his thoughts, his heart stopped. His soul left his body, and he became a lifeless corpse.
At last, he had found rest from lifeโs hardships and struggles, departing with regrets and desires he never managed to fulfill.

In a different world where magic and supernatural powers were commonplace, endless green forests stretched as far as the eye could see. Various races thrived, and wars raged everywhere, driven either by greed or the necessity of survival!
In an unknown location within one of those forests, short grass covered an area roughly a hundred meters in radius. Within that circle stood only a single tree, and its appearance was strange and unlike the surrounding trees.
Unlike the trees of this forest, each of which reached a height of thirty meters, this tree was ten times smaller, barely reaching three meters tall!
The tree resembled an umbrella. A dense canopy of crimson leaves covered its top, while numerous flexible purple whip-like branches hung from its limbs. Beneath it, its roots were exposed and stretched outward as if unwilling to delve deep into the earth like other trees!
At that moment, the energy in the atmosphere began gathering around the crimson tree. The magnificent scene resembled a storm as the energy continuously nourished and evolved it!
The tree slowly began to swell until it eventually reached a height of five meters.
And that wasnโt the only change!
Gradually, numerous new branches sprouted, and the number of flexible whip-like tendrils extending from the rigid branches increased to ten whips. And also...
"Where am I...? And who am I...?"
Slowly, a purple sphere with red eye sockets formed near the upper part of the tree trunk, directly beneath the leafy canopy. The purple sphere slowly opened its eyes and looked around in confusion!
ูููููููููููููููููููููููููููููููููููููููู
Ding!
[Memory Restoration in Progress!]
ูููููููููููููููููููููููููููููููููููููููู
A cold, emotionless mechanical voice similar to artificial intelligence echoed inside the purple sphereโs mind!
"What?!"
The sphere was slightly startled but had no idea what to do. Moments later, memories flooded into its mind like a raging torrent without any warning.
The sphere didnโt scream from the pain of receiving new memories as one normally would. Instead, it instantly lost consciousness and vanished without leaving a trace behind!
After an unknown amount of time, the sphere formed once more and lazily opened its crimson eyes.
"Where am I?"
The sphere yawned lazily, then suddenly widened its eyes in shock.
Rios looked around with great curiosity before looking at himself in even greater surprise. Contrary to the panic any normal person would have felt in his situation, Rios felt...
"Oh my God! Was I reborn? But wait! Why the hell was I reborn as a tree?!"
Rios shouted while inspecting himself. As a poor man in his previous life, and like every veteran protagonist, Rios had wasted plenty of time reading novels, especially those involving reincarnation and overpowered heroes. Therefore, he wasnโt particularly surprised and quickly adapted to the situation.
In fact, Rios was one of those miserable souls who often imagined waking up in another world or getting hit by Truck-kun and being sent elsewhere!
Well, it seems everyone here is a miserable soul. XD /._.\
"You know what? It doesnโt matter. At least I wonโt die this time because of starvation or blood poisoning. Oh right, I forgotโI donโt even have blood this time, hahaha."
Rios mocked himself before looking around in every direction.
"So what now? Whereโs my cheat ability? Whereโs my heavenly treasure? Whereโs my golden finger? Whereโs my personal system? Where are you, Shadow System? Where are you, Harem System?!"
Rios shouted loudly, hoping someone would hear him. Yet even after waiting for several minutes, nobody answered!
"Wait a second, Iโm a tree. Why would I want a harem system? How is a tree supposed to manage a harem? Damn it, what kind of cheat abilities do trees even have?"
Rios muttered to himself, completely clueless about what to do.
After all, it was his first time being a tree!
[Your voice is extremely annoying, Host. Did you know that?]
The strange voice echoed inside Riosโs mind once again, this time carrying a hint of irritation!
"Ooooooh! There you are at last! But why are you angry?"
Rios shouted excitedly before asking curiously.
[The Host made a grave mistake by comparing this system to those inferior systems.]
"I see. Forgive my ignorance, Captain System, but whatโs your function?"
Rios spoke in a sarcastic tone. It wasnโt as if he truly cared whether the system was angry or even existed. The only thing Rios cared about was whether he would obtain benefits and abilities to help him survive in this new world.
As for where those benefits came from, he couldnโt care less!
"Wait a second... Did it just say it was wrong to compare it to those inferior systems? Does that mean there are other people with systems too?"
A sudden realization struck Rios, shocking him greatly. However, before he could ask, the systemโs voice rang out once more!
