Chapter 2: Memories And A Promise

Akemi laying the bed looking at the screen with his hands behind his head "Journey of Strength huh? These requirements are a bit too much for me to handle right now." he looks slightly to his right and slowly at Lian Xu's memories "but as of now, I should figure out who's body I am in"

Message: "Would you like open Lian Xu's memories, Yes or No?"

Akemi lifts his right hand and clicks on yes

A light comes from the screen and engulfs Akemi

Akemi closes his eyes tightly

Voice: "Hello?"

Akemi: "Who's there?"

Voice: "I am Lian Xu"

Akemi opens his eyes "huh?"

Lian Xu: I came from a wealthy and powerful family of magicians in Japan, I was engaged to a woman named Ai Huan from one of the 5 main families, the Huan family because of a drunken deal my father made with the head of the Huan family before I was born. But apparently I was born with no magic, no physical prowess, nor talent in a world where only the strong are respected. As a result I've been bullied and treated like trash throughout my life by my family and everyone around me. When I reached the age of 15, I was able to go to high school and start a new...But that did not go as I planned. Ai, my fiancé broke off the engagement with me for a rich handsome guy named Fang Gui from the 3rd most powerful family in Japan, the Fang family.

The light dims and Akemi sees a classroom

Akemi looks around "Why am I in a classroom?" he looks to his left and sees 3 people

Ai Huan and Fang Gui stands in front of Lian Xu

Fang Gui has his right arm around Ai Huan's waist

Lian Xi stares at Ai Huan "A-Ai...What is going on?"

Ai Huan: "Why do you look so surprised Lian Xu? Was it really not obvious that I held no interest in you?"

Lian Xu falls on his knees "B-But why? I thought you loved me!? I loved you so much, I even gave you flowers everyday."

Ai Huan: "Me? Love you? HAHAHAHA you're kidding right? How could I love such a powerless, poor, fatass ugly slob like you, that's only from a middle class family?" She smiles "and flowers?" she drops flowers in front of Lian Xu and looks up him condescending

Lian Xu looks at the flowers and reaches for them slowly

Ai Huan steps on the flowers "I've never once liked these!"

Lian Xu's eyes fills with despair as he stares at the flowers

Ai Huan: "I've never held interest in you for even a second." she turns around "I'm calling off the engagement between us"

Akemi watching silently

The classroom fades

Lian Xu: "The news of Ai Huan breaking off the engagement with me spread like wild fire, the news made it back to my father before I got back home that day"

Lian Xu looking up at the man sitting on the throne

Guard 1: "Bow before the clan leader Zhi Xu"

Lian Xu: "...Father" he bows on one knee

Zhi Xu stares at Lian Xu without saying a word

Lian Xu looking at the floor while sweat drops from his forehead

Zhi Xu: "Is it true that Ai Huan has cancelled the engagement with you?"

Lian Xu: " Y-yes father!" he looks up "I didn't-"

Zhi Xu holds up his hand slightly

Lian Xu stops talking

Zhi Xu: "...I've only asked one thing of you since you were born...Just one, and it was to be sure the engagement with you and Ai Huan did not fall through"

Lian Xu tightens his lips

Zhi Xu: "This was our only chance to have our foot in the Huan family and join the five main families but it was thrown away because of you."

Lian Xu: "Father I-"

Zhi Xu: "Silence!"

Lian Xu looks back at the floor

Zhi Xu: "I have been keeping you around for so long because of this engagement...But it seems that is no longer necessary"

Lian Xu looks up slowly "huh?"

Zhi Xu: "You are a disgrace to the Xu family name." he stands up "Lian Xu!"

Lian Xu swallows hard

Zhi Xu: "From today onward, you are hereby exiled from the Xu family"

Lian Xu's eyes widen "What? Father wait, please listen to me!"

Zhi Xu waves his hand towards Lian Xu "Never set foot here again"

The two guards beside the throne goes to Lian Xu and grabs him by each of his arms

Lian Xu: "Stop! What are you doing!? Let me go!"

The guards drag Lian Xu out of the throne room

The doors slowly close

Lian Xu: "Fatherrrrrr!"

The throne room and door fades

Akemi: "Disgusting"

Lian Xu: "After I was throne out of my family with no money and forced to live my life on the streets, I decided to visit my school once more."

The school fades and Lian Xu appears on top of the roof looking down at the ground

Lian Xu: "...I hated my life so much it was almost unreal. The only person who cared about me in my lifetime was my mother, she was always the nicest to me, but my father, my siblings and the servants hated me, I had no friends to care for me...I just wanted to end it all. So I did"

Lian Xu jumps off of the roof

Akemi closes his eyes and looks away as he hears a loud thud and crack

The school fades to white

Lian Xu: " To be honest, I was kind of relieved that I could finally get away from this hell"

Akemi opens his eyes slowly then looks up

A white shadow appears behind Akemi

Lian Xu: "I'm finally free."

Akemi: "Lian Xu..."

Lian Xu: "Huh?"

Akemi: "You've told me your life's story...But I only have one thing to ask you?"

Lian Xu: "What is it?"

Akemi: "How would you feel if I redeemed you?"

Lian Xu: "Redeem me? How do you plan on doing that?"

Akemi: "I'll just need to get strong enough to make everyone who looked down on you bow before me right? I may not look like it now, but once upon I time I was the strongest immortal of my realm."

Lian Xu: "Do you really think it'll be that easy? You're not an immortal anymore...You're in the body of a waste."

Akemi laughs "That may be true but I am still me... Lian Xu...You can rest easy now. I will take over from here"

The white shadow behind Akemi fades away slowly "Thank you...Akemi"

Back In The Hospital Room

Akemi opens his eyes slowly and sits up "Lian Xu huh?" He smirks "And I thought I had a hard life"

A window appears behind Akemi with a timer beside it
