The Path to Sainthood from Fairy Tail

At Li Xuan's shout, a little white man appeared in front of him.

The white figure raised his hands helplessly: "Host, please don't frame this system! It's you who insisted on blaming me for being late. I've already offered to explain the functions of this system to you, but you don't care at all!"

Li Xuan's fist hardened: "Then why didn't you tell me?"

【But host, you didn’t ask me? 】

After hearing the system's answer, Li Xuan knelt on the ground and pounded the grass angrily.

"This familiar yet hateful conversation!"

Then, he said to the white man, "You must learn to take the initiative in the future. What if I was accidentally transported to a dangerous world and lost my life?"

The white figure flew in front of Li Xuan and said confidently, "This host has nothing to worry about. The novice world of this system is very safe. There will basically be no open-door killing plots!"

Li Xuan looked at the white man in front of him and felt that there seemed to be something wrong with his system.

[By the way, I'd like to remind the host that we have entered the mission world and can now open the novice gift pack. Would you like to open it?]

"Turn it on!" Li Xuan answered without hesitation.

[Successfully opened the Newbie Gift Pack, gaining the following abilities: [Light Master], Merit x9999]

Li Xuan could feel that an extremely dazzling seed seemed to have been planted in his body. At the same time, his body seemed to have been strengthened to a certain extent.

He could feel the light elements around him. They were like creatures with souls, surrounding him.

"This is the [Light Master], what an unprecedented experience..."

[Congratulations to the host for awakening his superpowers. Next, the system will release the novice missions for this world!]

[Newbie Quest: Join a guild in the Fairy Tail world and become a member of the guild.]

[Newbie Tip: There are countless guilds in the Kingdom of Fiore, and the Dark Guild is also a guild. Different choices mean different results, so please make a careful choice.]

Li Xuan looked carefully at the system panel in front of him, then turned back to stare at the little white man: "Did you write this?"

The white figure shook his head and replied: "Host, you have misunderstood. Although I am the Merit Sainthood System itself, I am only responsible for issuing tasks. The content of the tasks and the rewards are not my responsibility."

"So... that's why there's a prompt to join the Dark Guild..."

Seeing Li Xuan lost in thought, the white figure immediately reminded him: [Host, please understand that this system is a system of merit and holiness. If you make the wrong move, you will likely regret it for the rest of your life!]

Li Xuan glanced at the white figure and said calmly, "I know this. But what is the use of this merit value?"

The white figure immediately took over the system panel and began to explain: [Merit points are the most important component of this system. Not only are they the cornerstone of the host's future sainthood, but they can also be exchanged for various items and skills in the system's mall.]

While introducing, the white man switched the system interface and introduced the functions of the Merit and Sainthood System to Li Xuan.

"So how do you get Merit Points? Why are Merit Points included in the Novice Gift Pack?"

The white figure closed the system interface: [First, the concept of merit is very broad, but there is no doubt that if the host wants to gain merit, they must have a heart that is oriented towards the light, and every word and action must conform to the principles. Simply put, as long as the host does good deeds, they will gain merit points. In addition, they can also gain merit points by completing tasks issued by the system.]

After the white man's introduction, Li Xuan also understood that this system is a great benefactor system.

Following Li Xuan's nod, the system then answered his second question: [Actually, the merits in the Novice Gift Pack are the merits earned by the host in the previous nine lives. Originally, after reincarnation, the merits of the previous life could not be counted into the next life, but the Novice Gift Pack has accumulated these merits for the host!]

Li Xuan saw the eye-catching number "9999" on the interface and asked in confusion, "That's not right. Is this merit so difficult to obtain? Even after nine generations of good deeds, this is only this much, not even five digits? Could it be that you took kickbacks?"

Seeing Li Xuan staring at him with scrutiny, the white figure immediately denied loudly: [Host, please do not slander this system! This system has the right not to answer questions like this from the host!]

[However, this system will forgive the host since this is their first offense. Although the host has lived for nine lifetimes, the time they survived each life is limited, so the accumulated merits naturally appear low.]

In order to make Li Xuan more convinced, the white man directly called up the system interface and displayed the information of Li Xuan's previous nine lives in front of him.

[First life: You were born in an ordinary village, your parents were simple farmers. You lived an ordinary life until the age of eight. On your way to the farm, you encountered an adult who had fallen into the water. Kind-hearted, you sought help, but found only the two of you nearby. Finally, you found a long branch and tried to pull the adult ashore. However, your young body was unable to hold onto the branch, and you both drowned.]

[Second life: You were born into a humble family. While you didn't enjoy the luxury of wealth and privilege, you lived a happy life. This time, you successfully reached the age of 20. During these years, you not only studied the teachings of sages, but also put your knowledge into practice, helping your neighbors and improving their lives. In the process, you and several friends created a groundbreaking invention, which significantly improved the farming standards of the people. Unfortunately, as you were about to present this invention to the court, you and your friends both died.]

[Third life: You were born into a wealthy family. Your parents, having a child in their old age, considered it a gift from heaven. Therefore, after your birth, they planned to build a soup kitchen with you to provide alms and aid those displaced by war. However, the war eventually affected you. A wounded soldier stumbled into your home. You took pity on him and treated him. However, someone leaked the news, and the army found the wounded soldier in your home. Your entire family perished.]

[......]

Ninth Life: You are the eldest son of a warlord. In times of national crisis, you and your friends stood up, making indelible contributions to the fight against foreign enemies. You led the charge in every battle, slaying countless enemies amidst hail of bullets. But you are ultimately only a human being, and as humans, you are mortal. During a major battle, you were struck by a stray bullet and killed instantly! Upon hearing of your death, your friend, who was with you, advocated for revenge. Although he won the final battle, he also died a heroic death.
