After spending quite some time digesting and adapting to everything, Qin Xiao gradually calmed down.
Looking at the "Inheritance Template Draw" inside his beginner gift pack, he knew this was his only lifeline.
Whether he would rise like a dragon or remain a worm would depend entirely on his luck.
"Three Pure Ones! Buddha! Jesus Christ! Holy Mother Mary! Please bless me!"
Qin Xiao prayed to every deity he could think of.
After all, gacha draws depended heavily on luck.
Of course, if those great beings heard him, they'd probably spit on him in anger—
praying to so many gods at once, and from completely different religions and countries.
But under Qin Xiao's extremely nervous gaze—
The template draw began.
"Ding~"
The system notification sounded.
Qin Xiao looked over immediately.
The next moment—
His expression turned wild with excitement.
Golden Legend!
"Ding! Congratulations host, obtained template: Enkidu!"
A virtual screen appeared in front of Qin Xiao.
On it stood a beautiful figure with long green hair, wearing a flowing white outfit.
Just from appearance alone, it was impossible to tell whether the person was male or female.
[Enkidu]
A puppet created by the gods.
A Noble Phantasm that possesses its own will.
The chains that connect Heaven and Earth.
Qin Xiao instantly became excited.
"Holy crap… this is insane!"
Enkidu.
He had pulled a golden legend on his first try.
In the Fate series, Enkidu was the only true friend of the Hero King Gilgamesh, an incarnation of the divine weapon "Chains of Heaven", created by the gods themselves.
But Enkidu's strength wasn't limited to just being the Chains of Heaven.
In the Mesopotamian Uruk dynasty, Enkidu was known as the King of Beasts, and together with Gilgamesh, they were called the Twin Kings.
Created by the gods as a weapon meant to restrain and guide Gilgamesh, Enkidu's combat power was not inferior to Gilgamesh's.
Just as Qin Xiao was still feeling excited—
A mysterious power suddenly descended and merged into his body.
The next moment, Qin Xiao's body began to gradually change.
His originally delicate face slowly transformed into something exceptionally beautiful.
It was a special kind of beauty—
One that could easily be mistaken for a woman.
But it was definitely not feminine.
At the same time, his short black hair began to change.
It quickly transformed into long emerald-green hair that flowed down his shoulders.
And it didn't stop there.
Inside Qin Xiao's body, a new power began to emerge—
Magic power.
It rapidly filled every corner of his body.
After an unknown amount of time passed—
Qin Xiao slowly opened his eyes.
His black pupils had turned green.
(Note: Enkidu has green eyes. In Fate/Grand Order's Babylonia, Kingu has purple eyes.)
Feeling the transformed body he now possessed, Qin Xiao felt incredibly refreshed.
The feeling of evolving to a higher life form.
The thrill of becoming stronger.
The pleasant sensation of magic power flowing through his body.
It was simply too satisfying.

Tier 3 = Low-Class Devil
Tier 2 = Lowest-Class Devil
Tier 1 = Ordinary Devil
In an instant, Qin Xiao had gone from a completely powerless weakling to a Tier 3 powerhouse, possessing strength comparable to a Low-Class Devil.
It sounded impressive.
But in reality, it only meant he could barely protect himself in the early stages.
Even by the mid-story, powerful beings like:
High-Class DevilsUltimate-Class Fallen Angels
would be everywhere.
By the late stage, it would be filled with:
Demon KingsTranscendent beings
The protagonist of this world survived so well because he possessed an extremely powerful cheat ability.
The Boosted Gear of the Red Dragon Emperor.
It doubled the user's power every ten seconds.
Theoretically, it could even grant power capable of killing gods.
It was the ultimate limit-breaking weapon.
But Qin Xiao wasn't bad either.
He had a system cheat.
Just 10% of Enkidu's inheritance already allowed him to reach Tier 3 strength.
If he reached 100%, he would probably at least reach Transcendent level.
After all, Enkidu was a divine weapon created by the gods, designed to restrain the Hero King Gilgamesh.
As for reaching Dragon God level, Qin Xiao wasn't entirely sure.
Because even in the Type-Moon universe, Enkidu wasn't the absolute ceiling of power.
Still—
Qin Xiao was confident.
With a system and cheat abilities, his future was bright.
If his future still wasn't bright despite all that—
Then life simply wouldn't be worth living.
The only thing he didn't know yet was how to increase the template percentage.
His system was an Inheritance Template System, not a Roleplay System.
So it probably wasn't about imitating Enkidu.
But Qin Xiao wasn't worried.
He believed he would figure it out eventually.
Right now, with Tier 3 Low-Class Devil strength, he should at least have basic self-defense ability in Kuoh City.
As long as he didn't run into certain dangerous individuals—
He would be fine.
Thinking through everything, Qin Xiao finally felt relieved.
In this unfamiliar world, the old saying was absolutely correct:
All fear comes from insufficient firepower.
Now that he had some strength—
He finally had some firepower.
Which meant he could feel a little more secure.
"Grrr…"
Suddenly, his stomach growled loudly.
Qin Xiao immediately realized a serious problem.
Money.
Without money, it was impossible to survive.
Looking around the 1DK apartment, the furniture was extremely simple:
A bed with blankets and pillowsA small TVA basic refrigeratorA wardrobe
And that was it.
Nothing else.
As for the refrigerator—
It was completely empty.
Nothing inside.
Great.
After transmigrating and pulling a miraculous Golden Legend, Qin Xiao was now about to face his first crisis in another world:
A food shortage.
