Desolate Era: Hatching a Phoenix at the Beginning Chapter 1

“Yeah?”

“Where am I?”

Ye Chen looked at his surroundings in a daze. He was unfamiliar with it.

He was clearly sleeping at home. Why was he here now after he woke up?

The surrounding forest was packed, making people think that they were in a rainforest. Ye Chen stood up and looked into the distance. The entire land was filled with dense trees and foliage and the towering mountains looked majestic.

There were ferocious birds flying in his line of sight while the roars of wild beasts reverberated in his ears. The boundless aura that assaulted him made him feel as if he had returned to a primitive ecosystem.

A robotic voice sounded in Ye Chen’s mind.

“Lucky fellow, Welcome to the Primitive Age.”

“At this moment, all the humans in the world have entered the wild world and are beginning to rise.”

“Here, anything can be obtained. There are unexpected surprises and gains.”

“In this era, danger and opportunity coexist. Whether it’s longevity, power, wealth, or the opposite sex, you can obtain it with your own hands.”

“Flying into the sky and escaping into the Earth, moving mountains and overturning seas, eternal life here is no longer a legend.”

“At the same time, the weather in the wilderness is ever-changing. Destructive wind, rain, thunder, and lightning often strike. There are ferocious beasts and birds preying on to help you understand the risk. There are unimaginable dangers lurking everywhere.”

“Each of you can obtain a Tribal System. With the help of this system, you can create your own tribe in this Primitive Era, where you eat raw meat and drink blood. You can expand your territory, plunder resources, and conquer the wilderness to write your own mythical history.”

“People are randomly allocated to different places. The wild world is vast and boundless. With your exploration and development, you will meet someone one day.”

“You can form an alliance and explore as a team but be careful that the other party might conspire for money, take away your resources, and annex your home.”

“…”

“Primitive Age, Tribal System.”

Ye Chen spoke softly. It was as if a legend had descended upon him. It made an incomparable impact. It was as if he was dreaming.

He wasn’t the only one. Everyone who had come to the Ancient World was dumbfounded. This feeling was extremely surreal.

Before Ye Chen could react, the system’s voice sounded in his mind again.

“Welcome to the Ancient World. Now, beginning to distribute the Novice Gifts.”

Ding… Congratulations on obtaining Protection from the Wilderness.

‘Ding… Congratulations on obtaining a Mutated Beast Egg.

Ding… Congratulations on obtaining a Tribal Totem.

[Protection from the Wilderness: From now on, the host will not be attacked by ferocious beasts for three days. Please cherish this period of time.]

[Mutated Beast Egg: Drop your blood on it and breed a mutated beast. It will be your only trusted companion in the wilderness.]

[Tribal Totem: This is the cornerstone of the tribe. The place where the totem is placed will be your Tribe’s Dwelling. You can only move it ten times. Please place it carefully. The unplaced totem takes up the host’s storage space. (Upgradeable)]

Ye Chen fell into deep thought as he looked at the three items.

The Wilderness Protection was equivalent to the grace period of a beginner village in a game. It gave him three days of protection.

The second item, Mutated Beast Egg, was a battle partner. It was absolutely loyal and allowed one to have the ability to contend against the nefarious beasts of the wilderness.

As for the third item, the Tribal Totem, it was easy to understand. Wherever you placed it, that area would be your territory.

After all, the Primitive World was extremely dangerous. It would simply be a foolish dream to rely on one’s own strength to establish a foothold here.

Therefore, in terms of safety and combat power, they depended on the mutated beast that would hatch from the Mutated Beast Egg.

It was similar to the games that Ye Chen used to play in the past where he would be given a beginner item at the start of the game.

Ye Chen looked at the Mutated Beast Egg in front of him.

The egg was over a meter tall and he couldn’t even wrap his arms around it.

As for the Tribal Totem, it had a small cylindrical body that appeared to be made up of jade and bone. It would reveal its true appearance only after being placed somewhere. Till then, Ye Chen could simply wear it around his neck.

When it came to placing the Tribal Totem, Ye Chen was hesitant. He did not want to place the totem before he had the ability to intimidate the wild beasts and small fries of the vast wilderness.

“Let’s see what functions the system has.”

Ye Chen did not hatch the Mutated Beast Egg immediately. He had three days of protection, so he was not in a rush. He silently mentioned the system.

Immediately, a translucent virtual panel appeared in front of him.

[Personal information]

[Chatting]

[Tribe (No Tribe temporarily, function is open)]

[Exchange]

There were only these three bright options. The tribe option was grayish-white in color. It would open only after the tribe was established.

With a thought, he activated the personal information option.

[Name: Ye Chen]

[Level: 1]

[Tribe: None]

[Mutated Beast: None]

[Item: None]

[Skill: None]

[Attack: 10]

[Defense: 5]

Looking at his personal information panel, he realized the many similarities.

This Primitive World was like a game.

If there wasn’t a good start, things would be difficult later on.

He exited his personal information and clicked on the chat option.

Chatting was divided into multiple channels. There were World Chat, Regional Chat, Friend Chat, and forums.

He entered the World Chat first.

Instantly, the virtual interface in front of him turned into a chat room. Information kept popping up and it was very lively.

“What’s going on? Am I dreaming?”

“Hahahaha, Primitive Era, world reshuffling, everything starts anew. I want to become the man who rules the wilderness!”

“Where did this middle school boy come from? He probably won’t live for more than four days.”

“I thought that I had transmigrated to become the main character. I didn’t expect it to be a global transmigration.”

“I’m the CEO of a renowned company. If anyone can send me back, I’ll give him a million!”

“Wuwuwu, I don’t want to transmigrate. I want to go home!”

“Hehe, there are still people who think they’re dreaming? Wake up, this world is built from Earth, we can’t go back.”

“Are there any brothers nearby who are building a tribe together? I’m a veteran gamer!”

“What kind of mutated beast hatched from your Mutated Beast Egg? I have a Mutated Beast Rhino that says it has a D-Rank Bloodline Quality.”

“I hatched a F-Rank Blood-Draining Cow and my consciousness collapsed!”

“They said that they would reshuffle the cards but in the end, the game started with luck. I’m speechless.”

Ye Chen looked at the other people chatting on the World Channel. Many people had hatched their mutated eggs and even created their own tribe.

He was a little nervous. What hatched from the egg depended on luck.

The quality of the bloodline determined the strength and potential of the beast.

This was similar to a card drawing game that he used to play.

However, this was much more ridiculous than that. Even if he drew his card, that would only be from three or four levels.

However, this Mutated Beast Egg was divided into nine levels, which were about the same level as humans.

From high to low: SSS, S, A, B, C, D, E, F.

Not only that, the attributes of each Mutated Beast Egg from every level were also vastly different…
