As the saying goes: “There’s no such thing as the unluckiest, only even unluckier.”

When it came to what happened to him today, Ryan Bennett was completely speechless. It was already bad enough to inexplicably transmigrate just as he was about to experience his first time with his girlfriend, but to appear in a desolate wilderness with not a soul in sight—now that was truly unlucky. After much difficulty, he managed to find a magic teleportation scroll, but the only destination it could lock onto was a dense forest.

Ryan Bennett got lost. He wandered in the forest for two days. Although he didn’t encounter any ferocious magical beasts, there was no food either. Damn, how could this happen? Was he really going to become the first transmigrator to starve to death?

Looking around, there was nothing but trees. All that talk about endless wealth and countless beauties throwing themselves at you after transmigration was pure nonsense. He didn’t ask for much—just a piece of bread would do.

Never one to believe in gods, Ryan Bennett began to pray sincerely. When he opened his eyes again, a miracle happened: two women appeared before him. Ryan Bennett’s eyes grew wider and wider, gleaming with a wolfish light.

Don’t get the wrong idea—this wasn’t about lust. He had been starving for two whole days. Try going forty-eight hours without eating—when you’re hungry, even the most beautiful woman can’t compare to a piece of bread. That’s why they say, “Only when you’re full do you think of lust.” When you’re starving, trust me, no one can get it up.

“People.” The joy of seeing fellow humans filled Ryan Bennett’s mind. He staggered over, but the two women became highly alert. The girl dressed as a swordswoman stepped in front of the other: “You… what do you want?”

Katherine was no slouch in martial skills and was quite well-known in Ruhr City, but she had never imagined that a man’s gaze could be so “blatant.” That hungry, wolf-like look sent chills down her spine. Could this be some kind of depraved pervert?

No matter how strong, a woman is still a woman. Even the “Thorned Rose” herself, Miss Katherine, felt a surge of fear when facing this strangely dressed young man.

“Miss, do you have anything to eat?”

Poor Ryan Bennett’s vision was already blurry. Two days and nights without food had drained all his strength. Standing before the two women, he didn’t even care to see if they were pretty or not. As soon as he finished speaking, he collapsed to the ground with a thud…

The two women looked at each other. Seeing that he didn’t seem to be faking, Katherine slowly let down her guard and bent over to check his breathing.

The beautiful Azure Star had an ecosystem even more complex than Earth’s. In addition to humans, there were orcs, elves, dragons, and many other intelligent races. After thousands of years of development, each had established their own territories. Ruhr was a small city in the southeastern part of the human Taigo Empire. Though small, its proximity to the elves’ Green Sea Forest made it a vital hub for trade between the two sides, and commerce had made it extremely prosperous.

There weren’t many nobles in Ruhr City. The Baron Dirk estate in the south of the city was already a very prominent family in the area.

It was springtime. Sunlight filtered through thin clouds, casting warmth over the land. Flowers were in full bloom, everything was thriving, and the baron’s servants were busy with their tasks. In their spare moments, they chatted about something quite interesting.

Today, the young lady went for a walk in the forest outside the city and brought back a young man—a very interesting young man, dressed… quite peculiarly.

“You know, I’ve never seen anyone wear clothes like his since I was little. And his hairstyle is so strange too.”

“Really? But I heard he’s actually quite handsome. And according to the doctor, he wasn’t sick or injured—he fainted from hunger.”

“Fainted from hunger? Seriously?”

…

Girls always love to gossip. Several young maids chattered away. Meanwhile, in a guest room deep within the courtyard, Ryan Bennett finally opened his eyes. His stomach was still a bit empty, but he felt much better than before. After he was rescued, Katherine had someone feed him some honey water.

It felt so good to be alive. Ryan Bennett breathed a sigh of relief and looked around. The room was spacious and bright, with excellent lighting. The furnishings were somewhat reminiscent of medieval Europe. Combined with the teleportation scroll he had accidentally triggered, it seemed he had transmigrated to a magical world.

How did he feel? Well… it was complicated. Honestly, when reading web novels online, Ryan Bennett had envied the protagonists—never worrying about money, beauties flocking to them, living out their wildest dreams, seeking vengeance, conquering the world… That was way more exciting than slogging through job hunting after college!

Humans are natural daydreamers. Ryan Bennett had once imagined how great it would be if he could transmigrate too. But now that it had actually happened, he realized how laughable those thoughts were. Faced with a completely unfamiliar world, all he felt was confusion. What should he do next?

Creak. The door opened and footsteps sounded. Katherine walked into the room and found the young man staring blankly at the ceiling.

She didn’t say anything. This boy gave her a very strange feeling—mysterious clothes, wolfish eyes when they first met, and now such a melancholy gaze…

A boy shrouded in mystery.

After a long while, Ryan Bennett turned his head. A young girl came into view. She had a waterfall of golden hair and a lovely face. She seemed even younger than him, radiating youth and vitality.
