1 Prologue

"My head really hurts…." This was Fang Ming's first thought upon waking up.

It felt as if there was a cut on his head, hurting so badly that it seemed as if his head was about to split open.

His body was riddled with wound. It was so painful that Fang Ming had to suck in several sharp breaths.

Opening his eyes, he surveyed his surroundings. The scene in front of him was a vast forest.

At that moment, he felt a sharp pain lancing through his head. The pain arrived suddenly, and brought many strange memories along with it.

Fang Ming's eyes rolled back as he fainted.

"Hey! Mickey! Get up…."

Fang Ming heard this sound in his daze, and couldn't help but open his eyes.

"Is this reincarnation?" Fang Ming remembered very clearly that the last thing he had seen were the dazzling flames that had erupted from the energy reactor's explosion.

It was impossible to survive such an explosion without any method of self-protection. Furthermore, on the planet he existed on, rats don't talk.

The one who was calling up his name was a panic-stricken rat.

Right a rat…

His current body was originally called Mickey Monroe, a son of a small beast-tribe elder. As he was now 3 years old, his father, Elder Monroe, had him participate the annual tribe hunting to become a full pledge hunter.

Their mission is to kill 10 lightning-panthers.

But who would have thought that on this trial, those damn humans would also come into the forest to hunt for the lightning-panther's beast core.

Mickey Monroe died during that 3-way confrontation.

'Wait a minute!—

"Why am I reincarnated into a rat of all things?!—

"And why do I feel that my name was supposed to be Leylin Farlier?—

[Beep! Plot-hole Alert! Plot-hole Alert!]

[You are already a failure in your first appearance. Recommendation: The Host should activate plot-hole cleaner.]

"This is????" Mickey's eyes widened when he heard the mechanical voice in his brain.

"Isn't this my old assistant A.I. Chip from my previous life? How did it reincarnate with me? This is unscientific!!!" Mickey found it hard to believe.

He said in his brain, "A.I. Chip! Scan my mind and search for locations of assistant systems!"

[Beep! Scan complete! No strange existences were found in the Host's mind!]

After a mere moment, the A.I. Chip's mechanical voice replied back.

"Now scan my entire body, and display my body's stats!"

Another mechanical sound. [Beep! Scan complete!]

[Fang Ming (Mickey Monroe). Strength: 3, Agility: 5, Constitution: 4, Status: Bleeding from back of the head, many injuries to the soft tissues] [No A.I. Chips present in the Host's body!]

A 3D hologram appeared before Mickey's eyes.

It displayed Mickey's own body, and showed stats on the side.

"No A.I. Chip? I know the A.I. Chip is equivalent to a material substance. How did it follow my soul through reincarnation? Fang Ming thought to himself—

'It seems like during the explosion or my reincarnation, some abnormality occurred, and the A.I. Chip's functions fused with my soul…..'
