Gu Chen, the eldest son of the Northern Territory Royal Family, was abandoned at birth when his father Gu Qingfeng, the Holy Sword Berserker and Empire's Supreme Expert, was ordered to the Abyssal Battlefield. Left with a peasant family in the border town of Lincheng, Gu Chen endured eighteen years of poverty, bullying, and neglect while his half-brother, the younger son, was raised at home, nurtured with endless resources, granted the rare Dragon Warrior Knight profession, and admitted to the elite Shangjing Academy. When Gu Qingfeng finally reunited with Gu Chen, he showed no warmth—only contempt for his failed job change ceremony and his "thug habits." Gu Chen, now transmigrated with the original owner's memories, faced his father's wrath and his stepmother Qin Yun's hypocritical pleas. Recognizing that Qin Yun had orchestrated his abandonment to secure the crown for her own son, Gu Chen rejected her kneeling act. When the system activated, offering three choices, Gu Chen chose to sever all ties with the Gu family. He declared, "If Heaven oppresses me, I will split the Heavens; if Earth confines me, I will crush the Earth!" and selected the third option: randomly change to an ordinary profession and obtain a God-tier Talent. His profession became Summoner, and the God-tier Talent Darkborn First Blood granted him one Dark Bloodline per level, capable of transforming ordinary creatures into Dark Creatures.Returning to Lincheng No.1 High School, Gu Chen received a Fine-grade Summoning Skill Book for Bloodthirsty Bat from his homeroom teacher Jiang Songhua, who claimed it was unsalable due to low quality. Gu Chen learned the skill and summoned the bat. He immediately applied the first Dark Bloodline to it. The transformation was cataclysmic: the Bloodthirsty Bat evolved into Dracula, an Epic-grade vampire with attributes far surpassing any Level 1 Summoned Beast. Dracula's Health Points reached 1800, his Strength 28, Agility 32, Constitution 30, Spirit 29, and he possessed Epic-grade skills Lethal Shot and Crimson Feast, both at max level. The evolution also granted Gu Chen a permanent +10 boost to all attributes, making his own four-dimensional values nearly double those of a typical Level 1 professional. Now equipped with an Epic Summoned Beast, Gu Chen faced the upcoming newbie dungeon—a ten-day window where rookies could gain experience and qualify for Higher Academy assessments—with confidence. His ultimate goal was to conquer the dungeon, level up rapidly, and secure admission to a top academy, all while standing independently, having irrevocably broken with the Northern Territory Royal Family. The conflict with his father and stepmother remained unresolved, but Gu Chen was determined to forge his own path and prove that even a common-born Summoner could rise to greatness through his God-tier talent.
