Throughout the night as Grim was dreaming, countless images of a life he hadn't lived could be seen. From the moment he was born as a premature baby to the moment he was bullied to death by nobles which had been his tormentors for years.
On his deathbed the only thing that he felt was regret for not being able to make his parents proud. At this moment Grim was startled awake, " Where the hell am I?" Unable to make heads or tails of his situation Grim began to calmly and rationally piece together what had happened.
"It seems that I have somehow transferred over from my previous planet to this one." rebirth was real. " It seems that I live in the Erconic kingdom and am the son of a fallen noble." Pure unadulterated rage soon traveled through his blood. How dare a bunch of lowly nobles of a small backwards country bully me to death.
The more Grim searched his previous counterparts memories he was able to figure out that shortly after birth his father a noble was tried for treason and had his titles stripped and was executed. The king allowed his family to live due to his past merits, but the way him and his mother were treated by nobles was detestable. "Mom, are you there." Grim called out. "As you have now passed on I will take your place and protect our mother." A weight was lifted off his shoulders Grim could feel the previous owner depart. "I am a man of my word so rest assured she will be safe. Safe travels to the next realm."
"Grim? I thought I lost you, thank the heavens you're alright!" smiling happily as she entered the room. " Mom i'm fine just a headache is all" Grim replied with a sincere smile. "Who did this to you? Was it that boy Rowan again?" The sweet smile on her face transforming into a frown. Warmth started flowing through Grim's heart. Is this what love feels like.
Having never had a family in his previous life Grim enjoyed the feeling of being doted on. Sadly he would never meet his father. "Mom I'm fine i just need a little rest is all." said Grim as his response. "I don't care who did it! Just because the Messorem[1] clan has fallen from nobility does not mean we are easily bullied."
A murderous aura enshrouded his mother as she prepared to go on a rampage. Although he was happy that his mother would go to such lengths to protect him Grim was not willing for her to put her life on the line to save him. "Mother really it's all right, whatever problems I have they will be solved by me." Victoria stared at her son and could see the determination in his eyes.
"Son as much as i want to believe you, how can you stop Rowan? He's at 4th level of the Foundation realm you aren't able to break into the 2nd level!" That's right the previous Grim's cultivation had stopped at Level 1 of the foundation realm. He was already twelve this year and that meant that his talent was nonexistent.
"Mom, last night I had a dream and within the dream there was an ancient cultivator she taught me how to break through to at least the red flame realm!" Grim said with a large grin plastered on his face. "It looks like my son is all grown up and no longer needs me."
"Impossible no matter how old I get I will always need you in my life. With my second chance i'll make sure that I can protect you mom."
"My beautiful boy, it seems that this near death experience has changed you. Remember I will always love you regardless of the circumstance. Rest for now, i'll make you some breakfast so that my young man can properly train and become strong like his father was."
Almost impossible to see a flash of sadness appeared within his mothers eyes when she mentioned his father, but with Grim's previous life experience how could he not notice this. "Okay mom."
Soon after Grim's mother Victoria exited the room he attempted to sit up. Although it was a struggle he finally got into a good position to review his body. After a quick sweep through his meridians did Grim realize just how weak this body was. "It seems that this body has my old constitution." Grim noticed. Although he may seem useless at closer glance it could be seen that it wasn't that he had a weak constitution, but because this body had two conflicting special bodies.
In his dantian Grim could see a small red bead which symbolized that he had a blood absorption constitution. At the same time on either side of his physique the meridians the ran in opposite directions. Making it nearly impossible to circulate qi through them.
With these two types of special body residing in him it was unfeasible to cultivate normally within this world. Luckily he was not from this world. In his previous life he had the same constitution. Although he couldn't stand at the top of his previous planet due to a premature death he still became the peak cultivator on his continent. Wherever his name was spoken fear surged through the hearts of all mortals.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In his past life Grim Messorem was born on a continent that was ruled by the strong. He was luckily the scion of a powerful clan also known as the Messorem. After years of cruel and torturous training. With use of abundant natural resources he became the clans protector known as Grim. Any work that needed to be carried out the patriarch would send Grim.
His most recent goal was to collect a cultivation technique called [Demonic Rebirth], so that he could unlock his two warring constitutions potentials. Sadly was all a trick. After concluding that Grim had become too powerful the royal family had decided to dispose of a future threat. The person tasked with ending his life was the king's son Cassius. A despicable man that used any and all means to get what he wanted.
He fell for that trap and was reborn to this strange world, but Grim gained one thing that he didn't have in my previous life. Thats a loving mother. "I vow that I will get stronger and dominate this world so that my mother may live in peace!"
With this thought Grim began to cultivate so that he may one day fulfill his vow...
