In a vast city in the Dragon continent, there was a clan with power that was greater than the current empire.
With the empire being around for only a measly thousand years, the Shi clan crushed them with an extensive history of a million years under their belt.
Yes, this clan has been around for a million years and hasn't been wiped out by the passage of time.
This goes to show you the extent of this clan's influence and power.
In the Shi clan, there was a skinny youth that always had a sickly appearance, he was the only son of the patriarch of the clan, his mother died while giving birth to him, and he has been unable to cultivate, making those in the clan treat him like trash.
The only warmth he had in this clan was from that of his father, his father never gave up on him.
Every day his father would bring him countless heavenly treasures to strengthen his weak body, although he would never get better, he would work as hard as he could to at least step into the path of cultivation.
At the age of twelve, he grew up to be a hardworking youth with a will of steel after enduring all of the mocking and verbal abuse over the years, although he still retained his sickly body.
It was on one day that he was cultivating, when he developed an excited expression on his face.
He nearly jumped in joy!
He finally broke through to a level one warrior!
Feeling a little hungry, he took a bite out of a loaf of bread he picked up earlier in the day, before he could run to his father to share the happiness.
The bread absorbed all the blood in his body, causing him to die of blood loss.
....
Six hours passed when a small golden light flew into the body of the young master of the Shi clan, causing his ice cold and withered body to jolt off of the ground as it returned to the shape it was in when he was alive.
With slight cracking sounds, Shi Fang sat up as he opened his foggy eyes and observed the surroundings.
Soon after though, his face contorted in pain as he lost consciousness.
....
Shi Fang could only see flashes of light and what looked like stars in this dark tunnel he was flying through.
The last thing he could remember was the bread he accidentally ate exploding in his face as he spit it out.
If he had a mouth right now, he would be spewing any vulgarity he could think of.
His whole family died because of bread!
Bread even caused him to lose his life!
What kind of bullsh*t was that!?
His thoughts ceased there when he realized he was being flung towards a corpse that appeared out of nowhere.
Upon contact, he could only see darkness.
....
Waking up in the morning, Shi Fang could only start blankly at the ceiling as he let out a shocked sigh.
Looking through the memories in his head, he could only laugh in excitement.
'Cultivation! Haha! Excellent!'
Consumed in his excitement, he quickly promised to take care of and cherish the remaining family he has in this new world.
Sitting up, he couldn't wipe this smile off of his face even if he tried, this is the best thing that could ever happen!
It could only get better from here!
At this moment though, it was as if fate was playing a cruel joke on him.
His face froze as his eyes lost their lively look.
-Ding!
-Bread system activated!
-Welcome host!
".....sh*t!"
