Legends of Runeterra

Runeterra, Noxus Empire.

The rising sun cast its warm rays, but it could not dispel the solemn atmosphere of the capital's immortal fortress.

In the slums outside the Immortal Fortress, the citizens of the Empire had already packed up and were ready to start a day's work.

"Os, look at what this guy is wearing!"

"Hmm... it's yellow and has a tail, so ugly!"

"It's ugly, but I've never seen that material before. This person..."

"Hey, get out of here right now, this is not the place for you to sleep!"

Two men who had just reached adulthood pointed at the yellow figure huddled in the corner. The taller man on the left shouted at him, while the man on the right wanted to stop him but was too late.

As the tall man scolded, the yellow ball shook a few times and a small black-haired head appeared.

Li En was woken up from his sleep. He worked overtime until the early morning last night and was full of anger. He suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the source of the sound.

Two young men in black patched clothes and with pale faces were looking at him and muttering something.

After seeing Li En's appearance, the thin man whispered a few words in the other person's ear, and the two of them left in a hurry.

Ignoring the two people leaving, Li En sat on the ground blankly, looking at his white and tender hands.

The cold wind of the early morning blew in through the wide collar. Li En shivered, and then one hand subconsciously reached down. After sensing something familiar, Li En's heart slowly settled down.

Enduring the pain all over his body, Li En moved to a small puddle on the side of the road and looked at his reflection.

What caught my eye was a boy about ten years old, with black hair, black eyes, fair skin, a high nose bridge, and pearly black eyes that sparkled, exactly what Li En looked like when he was a child.

Looking up into the distance, at the end of rows of dilapidated low houses is an extremely tall city wall, and further away stands an even taller fortress-like building complex, which glows a cold color in the sun.

"Something big has happened! I haven't deleted my browsing history yet!" Li En muttered to himself as he looked at the scenery in the distance.

Just now.

"Ding! Host detected, do you want to confirm the binding?"

“Confirm, confirm, confirm!!!”

"Start binding...1%...40%...99%..."

"Come on system, let me see your limits!"

"The bond strategy system has been successfully activated, welcome to use it!"

"Ah?! Can you add some?"

"cannot!"

"Sign in?"

"no!"

"lottery?"

"Neither!"

"Then what the hell can you do!"

"This system is designed to establish an unbreakable bond between the host and outstanding talents. After successfully conquering the target and establishing a bond, a corresponding bond talent will be formed according to the other party's 'characteristics', allowing the host to reach the pinnacle of life from now on!"

Along with the system's explanation, a blue light screen appeared in front of Li En.

-----------------

【Bond Strategy System】

【Name】Li En

[Race] Traveler (only one)

[Talent] None

[Rank] None (too low strength, not displayed)

[Bond Talent] None

[Evaluation] For a '鶸' whose combat power is not even 0.5, it would be a life-and-death situation if he encounters a stray dog ​​when he goes out!

-----------------

"..."

Li En looked at the system's evaluation of himself and scratched his face in embarrassment.

"I say, system, since you don't have any functions, you must have a starter package, otherwise I'm afraid my weak arms and legs won't survive more than three days!"

"Ding! Do you want to receive the gift package?"

"receive!"

"Ding! The gift package has been distributed, please check the panel!"

Hearing this, Li En looked at the panel, and sure enough, a shadow of a gift box appeared in the center of the blue screen. He subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to click it, and saw the gift box explode into colorful fireworks.

"Ding! The gift package was opened successfully. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the talents 'Original Aspiration' (unique) and 'Survival of the Fittest' (unique)! Please check the panel!"

The talent column on the panel was updated, and the two newly added talents appeared on it.

Li En, who was familiar with the system, no longer clicked foolishly. With a thought, detailed information about the two appeared on a sub-page.

【Talent】Original Determination (Unique)

Your appearance and temperament will make others feel very comfortable when you interact with them. There is a certain chance that it will remind them of the most carefree time in their lives, relieve their mental stress, and increase their favorability towards you.

【Talent】Survival of the Fittest (Unique)

The evolutionary instinct of billions of years has been engraved into your soul. You will overcome any difficult situation. Your body will always evolve at a very slow pace until you become the top of the food chain!

"That's all? One improves the ability to attack, and the other improves the ability to survive. But there is no way to improve strength! What a lame system!"

Li En looked at the information on the panel, analyzing it while secretly complaining in his heart, his brows slightly furrowed.

He turned off the panel and looked at his reflection in the water. After loading the talent 'Original Intention', Li En's figure did not change, but he had a gentle temperament that made people want to get close to him. At the first glance, Li En himself was stunned.

As for the talent 'Survival of the Fittest', Li En has no additional feelings for the time being. This talent can only be said to be promising in the future.

-----------------

After some operation, Li En figured out some characteristics of the system:

1. No emotional fluctuations, just like a slightly smarter app.

2. It doesn't have a bunch of fancy functions like in the previous novels. The advantage is that it won't wipe out or punish you at every turn. The disadvantage is that there are no tasks, and there is no response after giving the novice gift package.

3. The panel can be operated with thoughts, and no one can observe it except yourself. At the same time, you can "see" the panel even if you close your eyes, which shows that the panel is not simply projected onto the retina.

After finishing his research, Li En stretched his body. He had to admit that the talent of "Survival of the Fittest" seemed to have some effect. In just a short while, the soreness from lying on the ground all night disappeared without a trace.

Li En came to a small mound on the side of the road, grabbed a handful of yellow soil, crushed it with his hands, and evenly applied it to the exposed skin. He looked at it in the reflection of the puddle. The dusty skin was no longer so conspicuous, but the silky black hair became more eye-catching.

Gritting his teeth, Li En grabbed another handful and sprinkled it directly on his head. He did not stop until the luster of his hair was completely covered and turned gray.

There is really no other way with clothes. I only have this set of pajamas that came with this outfit. I can’t run around in just my underwear and expect to use it to keep warm at night!

Li En rolled on the ground a few times to make his clothes look less clean and tidy, but he managed to complete the disguise.

The system did not have any information about the background of the world, and was just awakened by the sound. As for the language of the two young men, Li En could not understand it at all!

And judging from their clothes and the surrounding environment, this place is similar to a medieval slum. A child with outstanding appearance like him is a valuable commodity in a sense.

Being in a different world, with a weak system and yourself powerless, caution is the first element to survive.
