System: Card drawing in progress

"Do you desire power? Do you want to truly live? Do you want to change the uncertain outcome? Do you want to kill those invading monsters?..."

A voice sounded, as if it was echoing in his mind. The voice was seductive and could easily evoke the emotions hidden in a person's heart.

"I think."

Feng Xuan answered firmly. When he saw his parents die in front of him, he wondered why he was so weak, why he could only hide behind and watch but could do nothing, why...

He wanted power, great power. He couldn't deceive his own heart. This was the desire hidden in his deepest heart.

"But I don't believe in any god."

Feng Xuan was very clear-headed and did not hesitate at all. His sister worked in the Bureau of Special Investigations and had told him the truth about those so-called "gods". Even if he wanted power, he would rely on his own abilities to improve step by step. He would not take an extreme approach, believe in evil gods, and increase his power by relying on other people's lives.

"is it?"

The voice chuckled, and Feng Xuan, who had been in darkness before his eyes, found that his vision suddenly lit up. What appeared in front of him was that familiar picture, frozen in mid-air.

His eyes gradually became moist, but he tried hard to control the urge to cry. That was the nightmare of his life.

Two familiar figures appeared not far away, their eyes were filled with complex emotions of determination, panic, despair, unwillingness, and more of worry. A man and a woman, who looked very young, only in their twenties, were holding hands and running towards the distance together. Following behind them was a group of monsters.

A group of black pine hogs, some big and some small, their long fangs glowing dangerously in the sun.

Also, on a big tree some distance away from the two figures, a little girl was covering a boy's mouth, and the two of them were looking at the figures of the man and woman leaving in the distance with tears in their eyes.

Feng Xuan and his companions were not natives of Wancheng, but came from a small town. They paid money and followed a caravan doing business on the road, which included both people with special abilities and warriors.

Unfortunately, they encountered a group of monsters on the road, which could be said to be a small monster tide, and were dispersed. The psychics and warriors in the convoy were still relatively trustworthy.

They knew that their strength was limited, otherwise they would not have been acting as bodyguards in a convoy and could not protect so many people. They were given half an hour, and they delayed for half an hour before leading their men to evacuate.

In this half hour, you can run as far as you can. The monsters will scatter and chase humans. Life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are determined by God. Whether you can survive depends on luck.

Anyway, if we get together, we will definitely die.

People took the money, but they also risked their lives, so the money was not given in vain.

Feng Xuan and his friends were just unlucky; they ran into a group of black pine pigs. Their parents lured the beasts away, allowing the brother and sister to survive.

The leader of the escaping convoy went to the nearest city to report the case. The military personnel dealt with the monster and found the brother and sister who had been hiding in a tree for almost a day and a night without eating or drinking.

Feng Xuan approached the two men, looking at their faces carefully and greedily. Over the years, he would always carefully depict the figures of the two men in his mind, but as time passed, their figures became a little blurred. Now, after a closer look, he felt that his memory had become a lot more vivid.

"Dad, mom."

His voice was trembling, and he reached out to touch her, but then he remembered that it was all a dream, and he didn't dare to touch her, for fear that they would disappear.

"Why don't you come and see me? I missed you. This is the first time you have come to my dream."

I feel somewhat grateful for this strange dream.

He really wanted to hug them and tell them about his experiences over the years. These two resolute figures were the people he most wanted to dream about in the middle of the night.

Feng Xuan didn't care about not getting a response.

"Do you want to save them? Change the ending of your dream and untie the knot in your heart."

The erratic voice sounded again.

"Can I?"

Feng Xuan had fantasized countless times that someone would fall from the sky and save them. Later, he realized that it was better to rely on himself than on others. He also fantasized that he would become extremely powerful in an instant and be able to save the two of them.

He was tired of feeling powerless, so he desperately desired power.

Even though his abilities weren't that great, he refused to give up.

His talent in martial arts is on par with his talent in supernatural powers. Precisely because of this, he is self-aware and only learns those two things. He is greedy and cannot digest so much. If one time is not enough, he will try twice. If two times are not enough, he will try ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times, until he has engraved it in his bones.

After entering society, he no longer dreams the same way he used to. Dreams are just dreams after all and they can never become reality.

"Of course! Let's go and make up for our regrets!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the frozen picture began to move again, and this time, there was one more person.

He summoned a wooden sword and charged into the herd of pigs...

His clothes were stained with blood and had various wounds. He avoided fatal attacks and looked seriously injured, but in fact he was only slightly injured.

Looking at the group of black pine pigs lying all over the ground, Feng Xuan felt that the rock-like barrier deep in his heart had become much thinner, as if it could be pierced at any moment, and the stone that had been blocking his heart for a long time was removed.

Seeing two familiar figures coming up to thank him, with surprise of having been saved from a desperate situation and pure gratitude in their eyes, and thanking them again and again, Feng Xuan put on a smile and responded.

He even accompanied the two of them back to pick up their daughter and son. The family lowered their voices and cried silently, their eyes filled with joy of reunion.

The two children looked at him with admiration and said that they wanted to become psychics and warriors and be as powerful as him.

Feng Xuan never lost his smile as he accompanied the three people to move to another place and waited for rescue. He also cut some black pine pig meat and the five of them roasted it.

Time passed quietly as they talked and laughed. Feng Xuan said goodbye only after sending the four people to the rescue team. He took a reluctant last look at the people he was most familiar with, then turned and left without looking back.

But a figure called out to him, "Wait."

It was his father, trotting over, smiling happily:

"Mr. Xuan, every time you look at us, it's as if you're looking through us. Although I don't know what happened to you, you saved our lives after all. I discussed this with my wife and decided to give this to you. I hope you'll be safe and sound in the future and have a smooth life."

Having said that, he stuffed something into Feng Xuan's hand, turned around and left, catching up with the team.

Feng Xuan lowered his head and saw clearly what was in his hand. A tear rolled down his eye. What he held in his hand was a small and cute gold lock with the two words "peace" written on it.

In reality, not even the bodies of the two people were found. Only two pools of blood, some pieces of clothing, and finally two gold locks, the same size, the same weight, and engraved with the same words, "Peace".

In the end, it still failed to keep the two of them safe.

This was originally a gift that his parents bought for the two of them, because when he was a child he wanted his parents to treat them equally. When they bought a skirt for his sister, he complained that they were partial and wanted one too.

Bought it as an apology after being scolded.
