Mushoku Tensei: Re

Chapter 2: The Beginning

Jiang Feng began to unleash his imagination, painting one magnificent scene after another. An endless ocean roared with waves as if to devour everything; a starry night sky, reminiscent of Van Gogh’s "Starry Night," showcased the depth of the universe; the towering Mount Everest, standing tall and majestic, exuded a serene and solemn beauty.

Jiang Feng transformed the world in his mind into vivid images. His world, from the delicate depiction of flowers and trees to the grandeur of rivers and mountains, left one in awe of nature's wonder and beauty. Even the tiniest insects came to life.

Vast, boundless oceans, star-filled night skies, and snow-capped mountains reaching the heavens.

He was like a talented artist, tirelessly painting one world after another.

From grand rivers, mountains, and the universe to tiny flowers, trees, and insects.

It could be hazy or detailed.

As long as he desired, everything could manifest.

It all felt like a dream, yet it was all real.

At this moment, he was the ruler of this world, and this world was his consciousness.

His thoughts began to expand gradually, perhaps without him realizing it, his consciousness started merging with this world.

His mental strength began to grow, becoming more powerful over time. His soul became purer, merging seamlessly with the world, his spirit and the world intertwined, inseparable.

With each new world he created, his spirit became a bit purer.

Soon, his soul reached a state of purity.

After exhausting all his inspiration, he began to embellish the world.

As a former otaku, he inexplicably thought of anime.

Jiang Feng thought of Ram and Rem, of Roxy, of Eris, of Rikka Takanashi, and many others.

He wondered if he could make these characters real?

However, the world remained unresponsive at this moment.

It was as if it had fallen into silent contemplation.

Jiang Feng was puzzled. He scratched his head. The dream of making his 2D waifus real was within reach. How could he give up so easily?

He began to imagine the details of his 2D waifus more meticulously, starting with their outfits. Yes, all in maid outfits. White stockings always gave a pure and flawless beauty, while the black-and-white maid outfit added a mysterious allure. He liked this kind of attire.

He loved white stockings.

Yet, there was no response.

Jiang Feng was puzzled. He looked around in confusion.

The surroundings began to fade. Not only did he fail to conjure his waifus, but everything around him also started to disintegrate.

In an instant, everything turned to nothingness, everything became foam.

Then he saw a light orb hidden beneath the white world.

The light orb was deeply concealed. Who could have imagined that beneath this white world, there was a sphere?

The light orb emitted a soft, azure glow that wasn't blinding.

Jiang Feng vaguely guessed its identity. If nothing else, it should be the main god orb, right?

He was curious and tried to walk forward. He wanted to get closer to the light orb.

But no matter how he walked, it was like walking in place. He couldn't get any closer to it.

Jiang Feng frowned. The shattered world began to struggle, invisible rules mended, and the distance between Jiang Feng and the white light orb started to close.

Soon, he stood before the light orb.

Jiang Feng reached out to touch the light orb.

The next moment, a cold prompt sounded in Jiang Feng's mind.

【System loading】

【Scanning host identity... Identified as intruder】

【Scan failed due to unknown influence】

【Retrying... Please wait】

【Scan failed】

【Binding host】

【Binding failed】

【Retrying host binding】 【Binding failed】

The cold electronic voice repeated these two lines in Jiang Feng's mind nearly a hundred times, like a broken record.

Just as Jiang Feng yawned, the cold electronic voice finally changed.

【Intruder identified】

【Commencing elimination】

Jiang Feng jolted awake. The world began to flip, and a massive eye opened in the shattered world.

The eye showed no emotion, silently watching Jiang Feng.

Behind the terrifying eye came intermittent cries and wails.

Jiang Feng and the massive eye locked gazes. He blinked instinctively. A strong sense of unease surged in his heart, but the imagined pain didn't come, nor did he suddenly drop dead. Instead, there was a profound calmness.

The eye looked at Jiang Feng for a moment before slowly closing.

【Elimination failed】

The system's cold voice seemed to ripple with emotion.

Jiang Feng blinked. He felt like laughing but couldn't.

Silence. Both the system and the person were silent.

Finally, the cold voice echoed in the boy's mind again.

The fool holds a white rose in his left hand, symbolizing purity and passion. In his right hand, he carries a staff with a bundle tied to it.

That staff isn't ordinary; it's a symbol of power. But who, besides the fool, would tie a bundle to a symbol of power?】

A torrent of information filled Jiang Feng's mind. Before he could grasp all the system's details, his vision went black, and his consciousness gradually faded.
