Graystone Castle, a baron’s castle on the east side of Dark Cloud Forest. It belonged to the Noen family.

Blood Rain Day.

“Women and children, hide in the castle. All men, bring your weapons and follow me to the battlements. Do not retreat. If anyone steps back, I will chop off his head!” Knight Thor shouted as he waved his cross sword.

The castle was in a mess. The Apprentice Knights and the farmers who had taken refuge all took their swords, pitchforks, and hoes to the battlements.

It was the day of the Blood Rain that happened once every three years. On this day, the black cloud that covered the sky of the Dark Cloud Forest would rain blood-like water.

This Blood Rain had a special power. After being drenched by the Blood Rain, the demonized beasts that lived in the forest would go crazy and rush out of the forest to form a beast tide.

Therefore, at this time, all the people in Graystone territory had to move into the castle to resist the beast tide.

On one side of the battlements, there stood more than a dozen teenagers, about 13 to 14 years old. They were wearing leather armor with studded nails and carrying bright cross swords on their waists.

These were Apprentice Knights of Graystone Castle and core members of the Noen family.

At this moment, the flaxen-haired Kayla put his right hand on the black-haired Heath’s shoulder and teased, “Hey, Brother Heath, I saw you shivering. Why? Are you afraid?”

Heath glanced at him and did not say anything.

He was indeed afraid, but there was nothing shameful about it. Anyone who grew up in peaceful times would not be able to remain calm when they saw such a scene.

Heath was not from this world. He came from a plane called Blue Star.

He did not know how he came here. He only remembered that he was too tired from working overtime at the company three days ago, so he lay on his desk and slept for a while.

However, when he woke up, he changed to another world. At the same time, he changed his identity. He changed from a 30-year-old urban white-collar worker to a 13-year-old Apprentice Knight in Graystone Castle.

Before he could familiarize himself with his new identity, the Blood Rain Day had arrived. Then, he was driven up to the battlements by Knight Thor with his cross sword. And now.

“The Baron is here!”

“We have two Knights, the Baron and Knight Thor. They can even defeat a high-level demon beast. We will definitely win!”

At this moment, there was a commotion in the crowd. Everyone looked towards the stone stairs.

A middle-aged man in his forties walked towards them. He was wearing a chain mail and a blue cloth cover. He looked majestic.

This was Baron Carter, the owner of this Graystone Castle.

Baron Carter’s appearance caused the crowd on the battlements to cheer enthusiastically. The fear in Heath’s eyes also subsided a lot.

This was because, in addition to his identity as a Lord, Baron Carter was also a true Knight!

Knight. This was the collective name of the powerful humans in this world. It was also the ruling class of this world.

Through practicing some special secret techniques, they were able to improve their physical fitness to a level that far exceeded that of ordinary humans. Any official Knight possessed extremely astonishing combat strength.

Heath had seen Baron Carter lift a huge rock that weighed at least a few hundred kilograms with his own eyes and split it in half with a single sword.

‘With such a powerful person, and two of them at that, I should be able to survive this damn Blood Rain Day safely…’ Heath comforted himself in his heart.

The Baron and Knight Thor adjusted the formation on the battlements and then led the team to wait at the side.

Time passed bit by bit, about half an hour later…

Rumble!

Suddenly, a loud rumble came from the horizon.

The dark clouds floating above the forest suddenly spread out at an alarming speed, and in an instant, they covered the entire forest and even Graystone Castle.

In the sky, there was a black mass.

Drip! Drip!

Then, the clear sound of raindrops rang out.

The rain fell from the dark clouds.

The rain was red, like blood.

Heath raised his hand and looked at the red liquid on the back of his hand. What was this thing? Was it really not blood?

It looked like blood, and it even had a pungent smell.

[Ding! Supernatural energy detected. Extracted. Supernatural Extraction System activated.]

At this moment, a cold voice sounded in Heath’s mind.

Heath was shocked. ‘What?’

‘Could it be that I’m hallucinating because I’m too nervous?’

Just as he had this thought, the voice sounded again: [Beep! Supernatural Extraction System activated successfully.]

Immediately after, Heath’s vision blurred and a row of data appeared in front of his eyes.

[Name: Heath Noen.]

[Attributes: Strength 1.1, Agility 1.3, Vitality 0.9, Spirit 1.2 (The average value of a normal adult man is 1).]

Heath was overjoyed. ‘It really is the system!’
