Chereads / Rise of Lin Feng / Chapter 4 - Second Life

Chapter 4 - Second Life

Opening his eyes again for the second time Lin Feng finds himself in a large luxurious room filled with expensive furniture, but he doesn't seem to care about the room at all, or that he was in a completely different world, as the only thing in his mind was Death's face. Touching his lips he still remembered the passionate kiss they had shared.

"Why couldn't he be a women" mournfully sighed Lin Feng.

He finally starts to inspect his surroundings and finds the medieval European room to be really nice even for his taste as a modern person, but he suddenly had a though "Isn't there supposed to be a headache" suddenly a blue translucent screen appears in front of him with a message saying.

[Affirmative: Memory transfer sequence starting in....3...2...1 ]

Lin Feng got the headache he was looking for, and boy did he regret it. The pain felt like it was trying to split his head apart he had to grit his teeth to prevent himself from screaming and attracting unnecessary attention, but thankfully the pain went as fast as it had come and he once again collapsed on the king size bed.

Lin Feng looks at the ceiling in a daze as he analyzes the foreign information he just received, his name is still Lin Feng he is the son of Duke Lin Chen the publicly known second strongest man in the Empire just below the king to top it all off these two people are actually sworn brothers, the duke and the king have been in so many life and death situations in the last war with Xerxes Empire that the king said if there is no political significance they would address each other as "Brothers" like they used to, it was also the king that promoted Count Lin Chen to Duke Lin Chen after the war, when he ascended the throne. These two are also known as "Heroes of Snow Moon Empire"

Yet, unfortunately Duke Lin Chen's good fortune had run out early. The day Lin Chen's first child

Lin Feng(Previous body owner) was born, there was an assassination attempt on the mother and child, even though both of them had survived it was reported that Lady Wang Li injuries had caused her to find it more difficult to bear a second child and the infant Lin Feng's injury had caused damage to the newborn baby's body, which had caused his meridians getting damaged, unable to practice either Warrior power or Magic.

The doctors did say that there was one solution to heal the child; possibly even increase his potential, that method was to awaken his father's Thunderflame bloodline, which would have a chance to heal his injured meridians and strengthen his body. Overjoyed that there was a chance to heal his son Lin Chen made the necessary preparations early on and even went personally to get the blood of a Thunderflame Eagle, a beast that's blood was to say increase a person's chance of awakening Thunderflame Bloodline. A whole year later Lin Chen finally returned to the capital battered and injured but satisfied for obtaining the blood.

When Lin Feng finally reached the age of 5 he was taken to his family's awakening altar where he was given the purified blood to drink, but even with all the preparations Lin Feng wasn't able to awaken his bloodline. Lin Chen was not disappointed at the loss of resources but he did feel sad predicting his son's life from on because he knew how the world worked, he knew that even with his identity as the second strongest man's son without personal strength of some kind the people with ill intentions would eventually eat him up.

It was just as predicted at the age of 8 the previous Lin Feng started to get bullied, harassed and ignored even though his father did everything in his power to make him feel secure the looks of contempt people gave him were slowly gnawing away at him and the biggest impact he had received was when his own father indirectly told the king to cancel his engagement with the eldest princess even though he only thought of the princess as a strong big sister, seeing the sad and downcast look of his normally proud father was the trigger to Lin Feng's decision to kill himself in his sleep so that he would not bring anymore shame to his parents.

Lin Feng sighed as he could empathize with the previous body, he too was very familiar to the feelings of powerlessness, the only difference he could find between himself and the original was that he did not have parents to shelter him and was killed in the end of the power game but in this world where power was even more valued, even with the protection of his parents this Lin Feng was forced to take his life himself. But he couldn't blame him if he had to endure that tragedy for a few more years then maybe the bottled up feelings would have led him to take his life on his own as well.

Suddenly the blue translucent screen appeared again with new messages along with a beautiful bell like voice.

[Setup Complete]

[Soul binding Complete]

[Congratulation! For receiving the Wonderful, Amazing and Magnificent system called "Fate"]

So the tool i received is actually one of those systems, but wait what's with that third narcissistic line don't tell me the system is a narcissist.

[Since this is Host's first time using the system a starter's package as well as three free lucky draws have been given, since right now Host is as weak as an ant]

Lin Feng had a strange expression on his face he was happy to see some freebies by why is this system so Blunt!

[Host is first recommended to use the lucky draw to gain items]

Lin Feng sees at the side of the screen that a lucky draw wheel has appeared, pressing it a hologram of a lucky draw wheel has appeared the sections on the wheel are only colored in different colors he sees a holographic button at the bottom saying "start" which is greyed out. he also finds a "0" beside the wheel with a upper and lower arrow, even without an introduction he understands what he needs to do, but the tricky part is how many draws should he use on this first try while thinking about this something clicks within him, if his guess was right maybe he might as well get a head start on his journey. Grinning he changed the number to 3 and clicked the now glowing button as the needle started moving rapidly he prayed to every god he knew even imaginary ones to let his bet work.

As the needle slowed down and Lin Feng saw it was on a gold region he couldn't help but feel his expectations rising.

[Looks like lady luck is on your side Host you got 3 items from the special category]

Lin Feng couldn't help his smile from widening as he happily commented.

"Hey for a system A.I you sure are talkative"

[Oh? Host what are you saying i am not an A.I]

"Huh?" Lin Feng didn't expect that, but he thought there was plenty of time to ask later so he again focused his attention at the items he received once again.

All three of them where like glass spheres as big as his palm picking one up he saw the item description appear on the screen.

[Fairy Rejuvenation potion]

Rank: Sacred

Description: A potion made by the fairies with their legendary "Fountain of Life" allows the user to repair all damage sustained also has the effect of "purification" that cleanses the body and soul both.

Lin Feng's hands were shaking. This was a huge pie falling from the sky! The thing he needed the most tight now was something to heal his new body and he got what he needed with extra benefits to booth!

Calming himself a little he looked at the second sphere.

[Cloud Metamorphose manual]

Rank: Sacred

Description: A warrior training manual perfected by generations of peerless masters, best suited for body trainers gives the user's body the ability to naturally adapt to any type of power and use it.

Again Lin Feng was shaken, even if the later words were very casual only experts would know the value of this manual. Lin Feng took some deep breaths and was amazed at how much pent up luck he had since his time on earth, finally embracing himself he took the last sphere with a serious expression, but he eventually dropped it seeing the shocking description.
