Chapter 558 Chapter 558 Initial Gifts
"You may choose from the following initial gifts before your soul is transferred to another world." A cold woman's voice said.
"DING!"
1. Immortal Artifact
2. Ancient Spirit Teacher
3. Primeval Bloodline
4. Heavenly Wisdom
5. Peerless Talent
6. No Initial Gift (user will gain 1,000,000,000 system points upon successful transmigration)
"Please pick wisely." The emotionless voice of the unknown woman rang in Harry's ears.
"Is this what I think it is?!" Harry was stunned when he heard the several op cheats that had come his way for free.
"This is just too good to be true!" He added after a few breaths.
Harry knew what each of these choices entailed for him because he was always an avid reader of web s while he was still alive.
Thus, he realized that every single one of these initial gifts were priceless indeed! But before anything else, Harry needed to know more first.

"I am a System Spirit, host." The woman replied promptly.
"Do you have a name?" Harry continued to ask.
"You can call me anything, host."
"Alright then, you shall be named Natalie from now on." Harry smiled as he used the name of his crush in the neighborhood.
"Affirmative, host." The system Natalie replied without care.
"Why me?" Harry did not waste anymore time and went on to the heart of the matter. He did not believe that he was special in any way whatsoever.
He was a straight out loser in society. An invisible boy who was ignored and despised by all.
Perhaps the only redeeming factor in his qualities was how he did not indulge in any drugs, alcohol, or prostitution.
As long as there was garbage and trash around in his city, Harry could eat just fine with the abundant leftovers of the masses.
"You were only lucky, host. Among the myriad of lifeforms in this universe, this divine system has chosen you as its owner. This is your fortune.
Please treasure this opportunity." Natalie replied in the same emotionless voice.
"I see." Harry sighed and then proceeded to ask the itty-bitty details on the six choices before him.
He did this for more than an hour before he finally decided to pick his op cheat from the list.
"I'm ready, Natalie."
"Affirmative, host."
"DING!" Harry was swallowed by the darkness around him and then there was nothing.

"What a sorry child."
"He was so hungry that he was forced to steal some bread from the nearby stall."
"The boy died too soon." Many passersby sighed in lament but they did not dare get involved in this complicated business. The city guards will come later and get the dead body off the road.
As for them, they still had to live and continue fighting for survival in this dog eat dog world. Thus, the cold body of an unknown boy beaten to death laid alone even after his sad passing.
"HAK!"
"HAK!"
"HAK!" Five minutes later and a gentle coughing sound could be heard on the corner. The recent dead opened his eyes and with but a thought, he was gone from the scene.
"That was close." Harry rubbed the sweat off his brow. He looked around him and saw that he was transported in a desert world.
"Heal me." Harry muttered and in an instant, his wounds were healed just like that. Only the tattered and bloodied remains of his clothes reminded him of his ordeal beforehand.
Alas, with a single thought, Harry also remedied this truth in the next.

He was now garbed in a fancy azure cultivators robes but nevertheless looked like the same dead boy on the streets moments before.
"I should fix this also." Harry mused and willed for the changes to happen unto himself.
He waved one hand and an elegant full body sized mirror made out of clear flowing waters materialized before him. There, an ordinary looking boy was reflected before his eyes.
This was the real guise of Harry back in his home world.
"I may not look like much but this is my original face. I won't exchange this one for anything else. Or should i?" Harry grinned as he rubbed his face in contemplation.
Bitter memories that he had hid deep inside him resurfaced on his psyche. He tried finding work like mow lawns and even as simple as babysitting and yet no one trusted him at all.
Maybe it was because of his thin bad looks or maybe a body odor he was not aware of but in the end, Harry only ended up begging on the streets.
"Hmmm... Yeah, perhaps I should." Harry concluded thereafter.
He then tried to conjure the most badass face and body he could imagine from all the epic anime he had seen so far and his wish was granted with no cost whatsoever.
He looked once more in the mirror and saw a tall big man that would have been the envy of all men in his home world. Harry appeared larger than life at the moment!
"Hehehe. This must be overkill but I don't care at all. I will be a different person from now on. I will change. I must!" Harry vowed.
He could do the things he can today because he chose the Immortal Artifact as his cheat. This was his own world. In here, he was a god and could do all things imaginable.
Harry particularly picked this one amongst the 6 simply because he wanted to have an absolute defense against all and any circumstances.
Fortunately enough, our loser mc would also never go wrong if he took any one of those 6 op cheats.
"Time to gain some info on this world and how to become even stronger!" Harry whispered and an unseen dust particle floated to parts unknown.
This was of course our very own protagonist's impenetrable fortress. And thus, the journey of one poor loser started in this cultivation world.
