Full-Time Psychic Martial Artist

pain!

it hurts!

My whole body aches!

Amidst the jolts, Lorne opened his eyes, and his vision gradually cleared.

Inside the wooden prison cart were himself and three other people, all with silver-white hair and wearing cotton clothes stained with blood.

At noon, the prison van bumped along the sun-dappled forest path, pulled by a giant wolf that was 1.2 meters tall at the shoulder.

The giant wolf was flanked by two orcs, each wearing a wolf skin, nearly 2 meters tall, carrying heavy axes, with rough, grayish-brown skin.

Lorne was startled, his eyes widened, and he looked again carefully.

That's right, they're the kind of orcs that often appear in Western fantasy games and movies, with a strong physique and a slightly hunched back.

I was playing Bo3, where did this come from? Is it still in China?

"Little Lorne, you're finally awake."

The speaker was also one of the people in the prison cart, sitting right next to Lorne.

Lorne turned his head and noticed that the other person had pointed ears. Although his face was stained with blood, his features still made him quite handsome, the kind of handsome that perfectly matched Eastern aesthetics.

Elf?

The moment the thought popped into my head, memories flooded back like a tidal wave, irrigating my still aching brain.

It turned out that he had transmigrated into the body of an elf boy also named Lorne.

The night before he fell into a coma, Lorne, who had just turned 18, was attending his coming-of-age ceremony in the village when a group of orcs suddenly attacked the village.

All the powerful elves were dead, including Lorne's parents.

The remaining elves were imprisoned and transported in batches in prison carts to a certain place. Lorne was among the first to be escorted.

Because the names sound almost identical, Lorne felt a strong connection to his past life's memories. Coupled with the dual impact on his mind and body, his eyes inexplicably welled up with tears.

The male elf who was talking to Lorne was the village chief. He looked very young, but he was over three hundred years old. He often told Lorne about the world outside the village.

Seeing Lorne's reaction, the village chief assumed that he had recovered from the stress and that his suppressed sadness was finally showing. So he laboriously stretched out his bruised right arm and put his arm around Lorne's shoulder.

"Cry, child, it will make you feel better."

However, Lorne did not cry. Instead, he took a deep sniff and suppressed all the grief that his predecessor had been unable to release before his death.

The memories have been fully integrated. From now on, he is the elf Lorne, but he is also the transmigrator Lorne.

The village chief was slightly surprised to see that Lorne did not cry, but his surprise quickly turned into relief, and he laboriously pulled his arm back.

"Grandpa Village Chief, where are they taking us?" Lorne asked in a low voice.

The village chief didn't want to tell the truth; he hoped the poor child would suffer less from fear before he died. But Lorne's strength just now made him feel more compassion.

Given this child's temperament, he might find a chance to escape.

He lowered his voice and said, "They're usually killed on the spot, but this time it's strange. Maybe they're going to be kept as food, or for some kind of evil sacrificial ritual. You rest well and recover your strength. I'll find a chance to help you escape."

The village chief spoke calmly, but Lorne read a resolute determination in his eyes—a determination to create an escape opportunity at all costs.

Lorne nodded silently, accepting the village chief's offer.

The village chief saw Lorne's transformation and smiled with satisfaction.

Lorne listened to the village chief and closed his eyes to recover his strength. As soon as he entered the meditative state unique to elves, a panel popped up in his mind.

Please select your initial profession.

system?

Lorne was slightly startled, then overjoyed.

With a thought, the system panel entered the career selection interface:

Remarks:

【】This is an exclusive profession, which can only be upgraded through system experience. The experience gain rate is 10 times before the total level reaches 20.

This is a regular profession, and can only be upgraded through actual cultivation or role-playing. The system will quantify the cultivation process and allow users to freely choose attribute growth.

For more details, please refer to the "System Rules Book".

Note: The system rules are only a data simulation of the real world and cannot truly predict reality. Please refer to the actual results for the most accurate information.

~~~~~~~

Lorne opened the "System Rulebook" and glanced at it.

The rules are similar to DND, but there are many differences.

For example, physical attack checks will calculate both strength and dexterity modifiers.

Occupational ranks do not provide proficiency bonuses or saving throw bonuses.

Mana is quantified, not magically generated.

In addition to life and magic power, there is also physical strength.

For example, [Action Points] and [Mental Strength] can be used to quantify how many actions can be performed in one round.

The system rulebook is very extensive, and Lorne's first impression of it was that it was more detailed and better at simulating reality than tabletop role-playing rules.

Ultimately, it only provides a data-driven simulation of the real world and cannot predict reality with 100% accuracy.

Okay, let's take a look at the two exclusive professions first.

Click on [Psychic], and a row of new options will randomly appear below. These options can then be clicked to expand further.

～～～～～～～

After reviewing all the known characteristics of these two exclusive professions, Lorne felt they were ridiculously powerful.

Although we cannot yet view the more advanced traits, the mere presence of "Limitless Psionic Energy" and "Limitless Physique" is enough to make psionicists and martial artists invincible among all professions.

~~~

[Limitless Spiritual Energy] (Level 1 Spiritual Energy Master)

Your [Intelligence/Perception/Charisma checks] are all changed to [Psionic checks].

Your [Psionic Power] = Intelligence + Perception + Charisma - 20.

There is no upper limit to the growth of your basic intelligence, perception, and charm. (The upper limit for ordinary professions is 100.)

~~~

[Limitless Physique] (Martial Arts Level 1)

Your [Strength/Agility/Constitution Check] will all be changed to [Physique Check].

Your [Physique] = Strength + Agility + Constitution - 20.

Your base strength, agility, and constitution have no growth cap. (The cap for ordinary professions is 100.)

~~~

Unfortunately, even the strongest profession needs a level to support it, and Lorne is only level 1 at the moment.

To escape successfully, he must choose the most suitable sub-profession from the 20 sub-professions of psionicist and martial artist; otherwise, death will still await him.
