My name is Crystalia. Of course it's a strange name for a male. However, there's nothing I can do with it since my parents gave it to me.
Although my family is a religious one, I, for once never believed in the existence of God which I was told to devote my life to.
I could be called an introvert. I'm still seventeen years old and I'm in my second year of high school. I'm not the type that bullies or gets bullied. I'm the type of person which people usually avoid as I'm quite strange since I get average marks even though I'm smart. Why? It's because I don't see studies as an important thing since my cousin is still unemployed when he is a genius graduate of an elite university.
After seeing him like that my motivation for studying and anything related to school decreased. Naturally my parents were angry and disappointed with me. They keep on telling me that my future is affected by my performance in school but I call it bullshit since reality still depends on connections more than our talents.
Another example is my uncle from my fathers' side, seven years my elder. He graduated from the same university together with my cousin.
In university he was studying in the technology department but now he's a salesman working at the bottom line of his company.
This proves that there's nothing which can guarantee that our lives will be affected by our school performance.
Adults always hand over their regrets to us so that their child will not follow the same path as them. They put restrictions to not fall in love at a young age etc. but what I think is that they are destroying the new generation as their maturity is disturbed by their own hands intentionally or unintentionally.
There are also lazy (busy) parents who don't bring up their up children but give them too much freedom by giving them gadgets and huge pocket money leading them to take the wrong road in society.

Seeing so many unintended results appearing in families in my neighborhood, I'm doing everything that I see as important.
I've been working from home since I've been twelve. I joined my cousin in his online business which leads to the current seventeen years old me to rent my own apartment since I'm living alone.
It wasn't a huge apartment, 4X10m, with a 3X3 bedroom for me.
One of the rooms is filled with electronics like laptops and smartphones. I don't use a pc as it takes too much power to run.
This room is for my online work and to pass time I read cultivation novels.
I have always loved to imagine that there is a reincarnation cycle so I can be reborn and be an immortal with a huge harem.
Although I currently have a girlfriend who helps me tidy my room and do laundry, she is also from a religious background so we can't touch each other too intimately.
***
I have currently succeeded into having her enter my room in my arms but she still wants to have sex after our marriage.
Since I sincerely love her I am not too forceful with her but I still take advantage of her by groping her ass, rub her breasts and kiss her cheeks slowly moving closer to her lips. My actions cause her body to get hotter and breathe hurriedly.
Unknown to us there is a water leak which drops on my laptop playing a movie and my other laptops are also on so it caused and short circuit leading to an explosion causing us to die without a chance to react. I was also about to succeed in convincing her to get into my bed.
(AN: The two was too focused while they're doing that accompanied by xxx video playing on laptop in high volume.)

Lowest Realm, Mortal Plane โ Azure Continent
In this gloomy island, there is a place filled with randomly thrown corpses and scattered graves. Every night this place is filled with yin energy unlike daytime creating a chilly atmosphere.
Suddenly a dimension hole opens at the center causing the ghosts and spirits to flee due to the over bearing aura it carry's.
Two souls, surrounded by electricity inside a white orb, appear from the dimension hole and only react after the dimension hole closes. They start glowing in turns as if they are conversing with each other.

"Crystal, what's happening? Where are we?" Tanya's soul checked her surrounding in panic.
"Ah, Tanya I don't know what happened and where we are" Crystal replied after forcefully calming himself down while still panicking inwardly.
"Ehโฆ where are you. I only see a white orb in front of me." Tanya reacts after searching from where his voice came from.
"Really? It seems I'm not imagining it as I also see you as a white orb."

"Huh?? What's that voice" They both asked at the same time.
