Chapter 1: A Seemingly Ordinary Beginning—Transmigration

Every most exciting and captivating story usually starts in a very ordinary way, and this story is no exception.

It was a very typical Monday, in a peaceful university campus, inside an old teaching building, where students were listening to a lecture by their instructor.

In the classroom, the instructor lectured, students asked questions—everything was so normal and ordinary, just like any other day!

But just as class was about to end, a sudden incident occurred...

"Ah!"

"Everyone, run!!"

Screams came from the chemistry lab downstairs, then people burst out of the room, scrambling to escape the building.

Next, everyone in the entire teaching building, whether student or instructor, heard a huge explosion and felt a violent tremor as the old building began to sway!

"Oh my god! The building is about to collapse, run for your lives!"

"Damn, this damn school! I paid you so much tuition, and you give me such a crappy place to study, shame on you..."

"Bro, stop cursing, just run. Damn, these stairs are way too narrow, there's not even an emergency exit, damn those school leaders..."

"......"

And so, chaos erupted. The fastest runners had already made it to the open space outside, those in the middle were still squeezing through the stairs, and those at the back were struggling to get onto the stairs...

Finally, the chaos ended, and everyone stood safely on the open ground in front, some with minor injuries, but fortunately, everyone was safe!

"Damn, who the hell caused this? How could there be an explosion?" That same voice rang out again.

"Yeah, if we find him, we have to make him pay! But our building really is the oldest, with fewer stairs than anywhere else, and if that wasn't enough, there's not even an emergency exit! Damn it!" Another familiar voice chimed in, still complaining about the struggle on the stairs.

"Exactly! I really wish this building would just collapse, so we wouldn't have to go into this damn... ah!" Before he could finish, the old teaching building, unable to withstand the damage from the explosion, collapsed with a crash!

Jinx!!

......

The cause of the accident was a chemistry student who, for some reason, found something unknown in a corner of the lab and used it in an experiment, resulting in an unexpected accident. He also heroically perished in the explosion.

Because it happened so suddenly, he didn't react in time and just stood there in a daze, while everyone else was too busy escaping to notice him.

Afterwards, in front of the collapsed building, the instructors began to check their students to make sure no one was missing, but at this point, what difference did it make?

"Ethan Brooks..."

"Where is Ethan Brooks?"

When the psychology instructor called roll, they found that a student who had just registered was missing. This was serious!

"Oh no, Ethan Brooks was sleeping in the corner during class, the explosion probably didn't wake him up!" A girl who had noticed Ethan Brooks in class screamed.

Ethan Brooks, a sophomore majoring in psychology, was well-known for his habit of sleeping in class. Once he fell asleep, nothing could wake him up. Someone once joked that even if the whole building collapsed, he wouldn't wake up.

Now that joke had come true. Ethan Brooks was now buried in the rubble, the only casualty of the school's explosion!! To commemorate him, a brand new teaching building was built on top of the ruins!!

And this story tells students: never sleep in class, especially not in the corner!!

In fact, the school had already planned to build a new teaching building, but as a commercialized university, they wouldn't stop using something until it was completely useless!

......

Ethan Brooks propped himself up, groggily opened his eyes, looked around at his surroundings, dazed for a moment, then fell back down, muttering, "Why am I still dreaming? That's weird! Wake up already!"

After a while, Ethan Brooks realized something was wrong. With his master-level hypnosis skills, how could he not tell if he was asleep or awake? He was clearly awake now.

So why was there Western European-style furniture in front of him? Why was he lying on what looked like a very old bed, in such an ancient-looking house? And shouldn't he be in the classroom?

A bunch of question marks popped up in Ethan Brooks's mind. Could someone have hypnotized me? Don't be ridiculous—no one in the whole school could do that to me. Not just the school, even in all of China, or the whole world, there are only a handful of people who could pull that off. And those people wouldn't just show up here for no reason; they're all national treasures in their own countries.

As for Ethan Brooks's hypnosis skills, although they were world-class, he had always kept a low profile. He didn't want to be famous for it, because the reason he learned hypnosis was honestly laughable—just to help him sleep!
