Chapter 1: God-level Auction System

Douluo Continent

Star Dou Forest.

<+>

Boom!

Suddenly, a loud explosion echoed across the endless sky. The seemingly indestructible space was shattered in an instant by a mysterious, powerful force.

A dark vortex appeared out of nowhere, and from within it, a beam of light shot out, crashing heavily to the ground with a series of loud thuds.

When the dust settled, a young man suddenly stood up.

This young man had handsome features and an ethereal aura, making him an especially striking figure.

"Where... is this?"

"Wasn't I sleeping at home? How did I end up in this place? Could someone be playing a prank on me, dropping me here?"

The young man rubbed his aching shoulder and groggily looked around at the scenery, his face full of shock.

Where exactly was this place?

It looked like a primordial forest!

The young man's name was Lu Yun, an ordinary office worker living on Blue Star. After a tiring day, he had gone to bed early.

But who would have thought that after falling asleep, he’d wake up in this strange place?

"Is this some kind of primordial forest?"

Lu Yun calmed his initial panic and started walking around, noticing the dampness all around him.

The fresh air filled his lungs, causing him to take a deep breath.

This environment...

Could it really be some kind of primordial forest? The very thought made Lu Yun's heart tremble with fear.

He knew what kinds of terrifying beasts could exist in such forests. If he accidentally ran into one, wouldn’t he be done for?

[Ding! Detecting host... God-level Auction System is binding to the host... Binding in progress…]

While Lu Yun was lost in thought, a cold voice suddenly rang out in his mind.

"What? A system? Have I really crossed into another world like in those fantasy novels? What kind of world is this?"

The cold voice in his mind made Lu Yun shiver, but then a look of excitement appeared on his face.

He never imagined that the legendary "system" would descend upon him.

Being an avid reader of novels back on Blue Star, Lu Yun knew that systems were powerful entities that could grant almost anything!

Such a huge opportunity had fallen into his lap, but he was still curious: what world had he ended up in?

Was it a fantasy world?

Or a cultivation world?

[Ding! Binding successful. Host, please receive the system and detailed information about this world…]

The cold voice in Lu Yun’s mind continued.

As soon as the voice stopped, a sharp pain hit Lu Yun’s brain, and an endless stream of information flooded his mind.

After a moment, Lu Yun regained clarity, his eyes sparkling with realization.

"This... I've actually crossed over to the Douluo Continent!"

Yes!

Lu Yun had arrived in the world of Soul Land. 

In his previous life, he had read the novels and watched the anime of this world.

Naturally, he had always hoped to one day cross over and experience the magic of martial spirits.

And now, that wish had come true.

"The God-level Auction System—this must be the key to my survival on this Continent!"

Lu Yun now understood the system in his mind. 

The God-level Auction System, as the name suggested, allowed him to auction items.

The commissions from the auctions could be exchanged for auction points, which could then be used in the system’s store to purchase precious treasures to enhance his abilities.

This system was undeniably powerful, but at the moment, Lu Yun was facing a dilemma.

"System, my body has crossed over, but I don’t have any strength at all. How can I hold an auction without getting myself killed?"

"Besides, I don’t have anything valuable to auction in the first place!"

This was Lu Yun’s current problem, and he also had no idea where exactly he was.

Even a mere ten-year spirit beast would likely be more than a match for him.

He couldn't possibly have just arrived on Douluo Continent only to be killed by a ten-year spirit beast right away, could he? That would be such an embarrassing fate for a transmigrator.

[Considering the host’s current predicament, a luxurious novice gift pack has been granted!]

At that moment, the system continued.

"System, open the luxurious novice gift pack!"

Lu Yun grinned and rubbed his hands in anticipation as he eagerly opened the novice gift pack.

The word "luxurious" filled him with endless expectation!

Instantly, a brilliant golden light flashed before him, dazzling in its brightness.

[Contents of the gift pack: One Star Dou Auction Pavilion, one auctioneer, one pavilion guardian, and one set of pavilion master attire.]

Lu Yun was overjoyed as he looked at the items from the luxurious novice gift pack, his face brimming with excitement.

But when he took a closer look at the specific items, confusion crept in.

What was going on? Why were there no martial spirits or anything like that?

How was he supposed to improve his strength?

"System, do I have a martial spirit of my own?"

Still puzzled, Lu Yun asked the system.

Most people who crossed into the Douluo Continent only had their spirits transmigrate, but his entire body had crossed over.

At over twenty years old, he had long since missed the age of six when martial spirits are awakened.

So where was he supposed to get a martial spirit?

[The host currently does not possess a martial spirit. Once the host completes an auction, a Martial Spirit Gift Pack will be awarded.]

The system's cold voice rang out again.

Hearing this, Lu Yun’s face clouded over with worry. He hadn’t expected that he would need to hold an auction before he could receive a martial spirit.

But without strength, how was he supposed to hold an auction?

Moreover, he didn’t have any valuable items to attract the spirit masters of Douluo Continent.

"Forget it, let’s take a look at the other items for now."

With no other options, Lu Yun decided to ignore his current dilemma for the time being and check out what exactly was inside the luxurious novice gift pack.

After examining it, Lu Yun realized that the Star Dou Auction Pavilion was a fully operational auction house that didn’t require him to go anywhere to conduct auctions.

Having this auction pavilion was extremely convenient for Lu Yun.

"Star Dou Auction Pavilion? Is there a connection to the Star Dou Forest?"

At this point, Lu Yun noticed the name of the auction pavilion and furrowed his brows in confusion.

Suddenly, a terrifying thought crossed his mind.

"System, could I be in the Star Dou Forest right now?"

Lu Yun voiced his concern, though his tone was already filled with certainty.

He was sure that the place where he had landed was indeed the Star Dou Forest. 

The only thing he didn’t know was whether he was on the outskirts, in the inner region, or at the core.

If he were in the core region, he was as good as dead, considering that the forest was home to hundred-thousand-year-old spirit beasts.

A single sneeze from one of those beasts could crush him completely.
