"I never thought that one day I would have the chance to become a member of a Mysterious Organization, one of the masterminds behind the scenes."

Tang Qi muttered to himself, looking around his room.

Eva had already left, the Willnas Fairy had gone to work in the downstairs library early, and the Night Beast had been mysteriously disappearing frequently, its body undergoing noticeable transformations, indicating that this little guy must be at a critical moment of transformation.

As for Gluttony, well, no need to pay attention to that.

His thoughts flickered and then settled; Tang Qi no longer hesitated and opened the exquisitely ancient box in his hands. With Magic Power flowing in, the eye in the center of the "Eagle's Nest" symbol emitted a soul-piercing Radiance, and with a soft click, inside, on a bright red ribbon, lay two items: an invitation letter and a black eagle feather.

Tang Qi's gaze first fell on the bottom of the invitation letter, where two familiar names were written:

William O'Neill!

John Wesley!

The former needs no introduction, Mayor of Secret Phoenix City and Director of the Ancient Castle, the number one person in this great city, and also the Clan Leader of the deeply-rooted William family. Although Tang Qi had not yet met him in person, he had already met two of the William Brothers.

Old Coulson is a respectable "Healer", while William Marshall is a true noble with a dignified demeanor.

Considering Tang Qi's relationship with the Ancient Castle, it was not surprising that William O'Niel would recommend Tang Qi for membership.

The second name, John Wesley, represents the Archbishop of the Bright Church's Secret Phoenix division, a true Big Shot.

However, it is rumored that this Elder does not pursue power; instead, he is a scholar passionate about theological research.

Tang Qi reflected on his relations with the Church; other than being good friends with "Stanna," there were no other connections, perhaps his co-nomination was also due to Tang Qi's status as a "polymath."

While pondering, his eyes moved to other areas on the invitation letter.

Besides the Blank space left for signatures.

The rest were, unsurprisingly, some requirements for joining.

Apart from "upholding the Federation's interests" being an ironclad rule, there were also unremarkable rules such as "do not betray members" and "do not disclose information of the Holy Eagle Nest Society."

As for the detailed information about the Holy Eagle Nest Society, its organizational structure, or others, these were not to be known before joining.

Even if agreeing to join, one must undergo a test.

However, after joining, there were no mandatory obligations.

If one chose to refuse, they simply had to return the box to either the Church or the Ancient Castle.

"Indeed, a loose Mysterious Organization without strict rules, naturally lacking strong cohesion, it couldn't cause massive destruction... Most likely, it's an organization for mutual sharing and support."

"According to the information gathered, there is no need to refuse."

With this thought, Tang Qi immediately picked up the black eagle feather, Magic Power flowing, and promptly wrote down his name in the Blank space.

When the final stroke of the characters "Tang Qi" was completed.

Instantly, a powerful ghost light exploded.

Various symbols drawn on the invitation letter, such as the Eagle's Nest, cactus, thorns, demons... all these patterns burst simultaneously, and as the glow flowed, they quickly detached from the invitation letter, turning into tangible things, sweeping towards Tang Qi.

In that instant, time and space flipped.

Tang Qi felt both his body and soul being dragged into an extremely real, cruel world.

In a trance, Tang Qi looked at himself.

He had turned into a thin commoner wearing an old linen robe, holding a rusty machete in his hand, surrounded by similarly emaciated men, even weaker women, children, and old people, everyone holding wooden sticks, spears, and machetes.

They stood messily, tension in their expressions, and undispellable Fear in their eyes.

Behind the crowd was their primitive, dirty homeland.

Tang Qi could see the dark sky, barren land, gloomy woods, and the stench in the air... Suddenly, the earth began to shake.

The people looked up, as large, disgusting Demons stormed in from all directions, including resentful monsters that Tang Qi was familiar with. They roared, spewing acid and poison gas, charging at the crowd, their inhuman eyes filled with greed and craving for flesh.

A Purgatory-like scene unfolded, people screamed in the mouths of demons and Exotic Realm Races, ordinary Humans appeared so powerless against sharp teeth and giant creatures.

Watching himself being devoured by a resentful monster, Tang Qi did not even have time to feel the Pain before he was caught in another trance, waking up again.

This time, he became a Soldier, wearing shabby military clothes, holding a matchlock gun in one hand and a long sword hanging at his waist, both weapons bearing traces of Magic and witchcraft, similar Soldiers lined up on the plain.

The earth shook again, and the demons surged forward.

Tang Qi killed a Cannibal Giant Demon but also died in the mouth of another giant demon, not even feeling the searing pain of being severed at the waist, as Radiance surged once more.

The third time, he became an officer, a Leader commanding a dozen Transcendents, managing a bustling, rising Human settlement, until he led his civilians to unearth a steaming entrance from the ground, from which a tentacled monstrosity emerged.
