Ding! Transmigration process: Complete.
Syed Jaber opened his eyes.
Gone was the flickering light bulb of his old world, replaced by twin suns in a violet sky, strange birds with four wings, and a scent of incense and monster blood hanging in the air.
And he? He had just fallen asleep reading "My Mom Sold Me for Plot" — a twisted webnovel that gave him trauma and made him swear to never, ever be soft in life.
Now?
He'd been reborn in the Xiantu Realm, a cultivation world where, at age 16, people awakened their Spiritual Roots and entered the path of power, pride, and spiritual punching.
Today was Awakening Day.
"No Spiritual Root Detected."
The words echoed in the town square like a hammer.
Syed Jaber stood there, hand on the Awakening Crystal, and felt… nothing. Not even a spark.
Kids laughed. Elders shook their heads.
"Another trash without roots."
"Maybe he'll make a decent servant."
"Maybe he'll end up begging in the city."
He walked away quietly. But his mind raced like a storm.
No spiritual root, huh?
Then I'll make my own path.
That night, something happened.
As Jaber sat alone under the stars reading scrolls on spiritual theory, a mechanical voice echoed in his head.
Ding! You have awakened the [Summoner of All] System.
His eyes widened.

Jaber stood up.
"A system where I can summon soldiers... pick their talents... boost my power through them? And create a Guild where I control everything?"
He started laughing.
The Birth of a Guild
The next morning, Jaber stood in front of an abandoned shrine in the woods behind his village. Broken statues. Overgrown vines. Perfect.
He cleared the vines, placed a summoning formation on the ground, and said three words that would shape the world:
"Guild. Creation. Initiate."
Name your Guild.
He grinned.
"Eternal Flame Empire."
Motto?
"Obey, Ascend, Conquer."
Guild Created! First Summon Unlocked. Choose subordinate details.
Gender: FemaleTalent: Supreme Ice-Elemental, Heaven GradeObedience: AbsolutePersonality: Cold, Loyal, Ruthless to Enemies
A blue portal appeared. Out stepped a silver-haired beauty clad in armor, her eyes like a winter storm.
"Kneeling before you, Guildmaster. I am Frostblade Yue."
Jaber's eyes gleamed.
"Welcome to the Eternal Flame Empire, Yue. You're the first of many."
By the end of the day, he had three hand-picked members:
Frostblade Yue – Ice General
Ember Lin – Fire Strategist
Stone Mila – Earth Defender
All of them beautiful. All of them talented. All of them sworn to him.
And with each one, his stats increased. His body felt stronger. His senses sharper.
Ding! Subordinate Cultivation Progress: 5% synced to Host.
Guild Core Power: Rank F → E
The World Was Changing
In this realm, ancient dimensional rifts had opened long ago, leading to alternate dimensions filled with spirit beasts, treasures, and hostile races. Only awakened cultivators could enter.
But Jaber had a plan.
"Frostblade Yue. Tomorrow, we sneak into the Rift disguised as servants."
"Yes, my lord."
"And if we run into arrogant young masters…"
"We eliminate them and claim their spirit stones."
"And if they have beautiful sisters or wives?"
"We 'recruit' them too," he smirked.
Yue rolled her eyes. "Understood."
Final Thoughts That Night
Lying in bed in his hideout, Jaber opened a scroll he found before transmigrating. The one where a kind MC was betrayed by his own mother and sisters — for protecting them too much, not letting them live, not letting them be touched.
He still remembered the ending. His mother gave him up to his enemy because she wanted a man's touch after decades of being "protected."
Jaber clenched his fist.
That won't be me.
He would possess everything he loved, treasure them, raise their value, and keep them close — not just for power.
But because he'd never let betrayal stab him in the back.
