[Welcome to the Rise to Legend System!] With this second chance at life, Kaiden sees an opportunity to rewrite his destiny and fulfill the dreams that were once shattered.
In a modest home nestled at the edge of town, the smell of sizzling oil and the clatter of pans filled the air.
A young man sat on a small sofa, hunched over his phone with a look of concentration on his face.
He scrolled through the video feed, the cheers of a roaring crowd blaring from the tiny speakers.
Kai's face appeared on the screen, drenched in sweat but smiling triumphantly as the announcer's voice rang out.
"And there it is! The Shizi Dogs take the win! Kai Guo is the hero of Jilin!"
The young man on the sofa chuckled, shaking his head. "Was I ever this handsome?"
He touched his own cheek, squinting at the screen to compare.
With a smirk, he set his phone aside and leaned back. "Well, at least I know where my body is now," he muttered to himself.
