Chapter 3: Ch 2: New Life, New Goals
Ch 2: New life and new goals
3rd POV:
Winds blowing softly, green and yellow leaves scattered here and there. Ancient-looking bamboo trees, which were about as tall as 5 storied buildings, swaying gently.
Serene
Only this word can describe the scene.
However, in this peaceful atmosphere, there was a bloody smell.
Blood splattered on the ground and a boy who was probably 19 was blood-soaked and lay with his eyes closed and a long cut was engraved on his chest and blood was still flowing out.
The cut was so deep that his ribs could almost be seen. The boy's face was pale and was increasingly becoming paler, which anyone could guess was because of the continuous blood loss.
But something incredible happened at that moment.
With a blinding light, a Lotus of the size of almost 3 adult man's heads appeared. The lotus was royal purple, with shades of white and green. It was hovering above the boy's body as if checking his wounds.
A petal was shed which came floating down slowly and fell on the man's body. As soon as the petal touched his body, the leaf dissolved into a liquid and seeped through his pores and his whole body started glowing in a purple aura.
And miraculously, the terrifying large wound filled. The healing rate was so fast that we could see the skin and flesh were forming through naked eyes.
The wound disappeared like it was never there.
If a doctor was here, he would surely fall into depression thinking that his decades of studies and practice were worthless.
Anyway, the boy was apparently opening his eyes.
Aaron's POV:
'Where am I? It's so dark in here. Huh? Now I can open my eyes?'
Slowly opening my eyes, a bright light almost blinded me. Floating in that dark space, I lost the feeling of sunlight. But after a few seconds, I adapted to the situation.
So, I tried to figure out my situation.
Seeing that my clothes are soaked in blood, I almost panicked and hurriedly checked for wounds on my body.
It relieved me that when I saw that my body was not wounded.
The question remains, So, whose blood is this?
And in the way the blood is splattered here, it looks like some sort of battle took place, but bullets won't cause such an injury.
Then I noticed a big claw-shaped tear on my clothes.
Wait… why is my robe torn? It looks like a sort of beast's claw, but even bears don't have claws of this size. And why the hell I am wearing this ancient robe. Am I in China? No, not china… ancient china. So I traveled back- "ahrk"
*Thup*
A sharp headache that felt like a stake which being forcefully nailed on my head interrupted my words. Just as I couldn't bear the horrifying pain, I fell on my back and passed out.
Just as I passed out, I was standing before a teen of about 19.
I asked him," who are you? Where am I? Why did you bring me here?".
He said in a voice almost identical to mine," Please calm down and listen to me. I have little time. My name is Aaron Regale, which will be yours from now on. I have already transferred my memories to your mind when you wake up, you will get it. And my last request is to please take care of my mother. They kicked her out of the clan because of me. I cannot repay her, but you can. In exchange, take my body. I hope you will honor my last words"
Saying these words, he gave a last smile to me, and his ethereal body started breaking on a molecular level. Then he dissolved into nothingness.
Then I slowly woke.
Urgh…. my head. So much knowledge, it is really hard to digest.
Anyway, I gained his memories and his body. From his memories, I found out about my current situation.
The realm where I am now is called Great Martial Realm.
This world is a typical cultivation world.
It has 2 continents; each continent is about the size of the Earth. The continents are the Star cloud continent and the Blue Flame continent. Each one has many empires.
I am on the Penrith Empire of the Star Cloud continent. Our empire is one of the top 5 empires of the continent. It also comprises over 150 kingdoms. We live in the Dark moon kingdom where the royal family is the Luna Family. Under the kingdom, there are many cities, towns, and villages excluding the Royal capital of Dark Moon, The Lunar city.
Among these towns, we live in a town named Red Sparrow town.
And me, I mean my previous body owner, Aaron Regale was the 4th child of the Patriarch of the Regale clan. The Regale clan controls everything in the Red sparrow city, from cultivation resources, spirit crystal mines, Law, and order. You could say they are the local tyrants of the Red sparrow city.
In this world, whenever a child turns 16, he/she goes through an awakening ceremony where their bloodline is awakened and a ritual is held to summon a martial spirit with which he/she can form a contract. Thus, starting their cultivation journey.
The following system grades someone's bloodline and martial spirit:-
Baron
Viscount
Count
Marquis
Duke
King
Emperor
Overlord
We also came to understand that bloodline and the contracted martial spirit are inter- related. This means the spirit draws power from the qi produced by the bloodline, while the former helps the contractor to use its martial skills. We base the grading system on their position in their own world, the Elemental Spirit Realm.
It also means that their grade is equal or almost equal. For example, if someone's bloodline is Duke ranked and their spirit is viscount ranked, if the latter tries to draw qi, the qi of a duke will overload it and it may explode. And if the reverse occurs, the spirit cannot work because of the shortage of qi.
The spirits are mainly as weapons, while beasts are rare, but rarer are instruments. Yes, musical instruments but they have no offensive martial skills.
And now about the cultivation.
Humans, from time immemorial, have been seeking power and longevity resulting in the birth of cultivation. The practice of growing powerful against the will of Heaven. There exists ethereal energy which people named Qi. In cultivation, we absorb qi to make our body, mind, and soul strong while increasing our lifespan.
Anyway, cultivation is divided into 13 cultivation realms, however, this body knows 5 realms which are:-
Martial warrior
Martial general
Martial elite general
Martial lord
Martial high lord
We divided each major realm into 9 smaller realms.
The rest 8 realms are unknown to him. Looks like I need to collect information about this. What a pain in the neck.
But the problem is my body. Actually, on the awakening ceremony, I woke some kind of unknown bloodline with an undeterminable rank, and as for the spirit; I summoned a lotus. Yes, a lotus while plant-type martial spirits have been never heard of, everyone in the clan decided it was a waste of a martial spirit, as a plant obviously cannot attack. And as my bloodline couldn't be graded, they decided it was even lower than Baron rank.
From that day they labeled me as trash of the Regale clan and the shame of the Patriarch.
Following that day, never has there been a day when I did not try to awaken any martial skill when I trained till I passed out. However, because of showing no results even after 1 awakening. They kicked my mother and me out of the clan. Thus, we lived close to the forest outside the city.
Like any other day, Today I was training in the forest. However, I came deeper than I could handle and met a 7th stage warrior realm beast named Black-armored steel bear. I tried to outrun it, but how could I outrun a beast of the 7th stage when I am not even in the first stage. In the end, I died, actually, Aaron Regale died but now Aaron Blaze will take his place. Well, thank you for giving me a second chance. I promise I will take good care of your mother. And I will surely pay back this debt to the Regale clan.
Just as I said this, I felt a warm sensation in my body. It was so comfortable.
Now I feel that this body is truly and only mine.
Now let's return home. It is already way past the usual time I return home. I hope mom is not worrying too much.
I stood up and started walking towards the exit of the forest. The house we live in now is about half an hour from here.
After walking for about 10 minutes of walking and admiring the beauty of the forest, I felt that something pulling my hand.
I could not believe what I saw.
