"Are you ok little miss?" Then Clyde extended his right hand towards the miss helping her to get up.
Then the Little Miss said, "Thank you, Mister." Then she grabbed Clyde's hand. Then Clyde pulled her towards him with forcefully that their body collided with each other. The little miss foot turned unbalanced and when she was going to fall, Clyde embraced her and their face is so heart that their lips are only 3-inch apart.
The little miss' eyes turned wide and she blushed while her heart fluttered.
"Ohhhh! My bad. That was not my intention." Then Clyde let go from embracing the little miss. Clyde was maintaining his calm expression but deep inside, his heart is about to explode because it beat abnormally fast.
"I-i-it's ok Mister." Little miss fluttered because of embarrassment. Then she added, "uhhmm, May I know what is your name, mister?"
"Ohhhhh, My name is Clyde. Clyde Helsword." He stated his name proudly.
"Clyde Helsword? Pffftt." The little miss holds her laugh.
"What's wrong?" Clyde stared at the little miss confusedly.
"To be saved by a mere level 1 Energy Condensation Stage cultivator is one thing, but by the weakest cultivator in my generation is a shameful thing. You hid your aura so well.…. Uggghh!" The little miss said with a laugh. Her treatment towards Clyde changed when she knew who he was.
Clyde was caught off guard and shocked by this sudden escalation. First, everything is going smooth but now and onwards, everything seems going to be so rough
Hey, Alice, is what this brat saying is true?| he asked Alice.
Yup, you are the weakest of them all cultivators in the current generation. The girl you saved can actually kill that beast with a single flick of her finger but maybe there are somethings that seems off with her that is why she is running.| Alice explained.
That's a bit sad.| Based on the original Clyde's memory, his life in this world is quite unfortunate. Cultivation is what everyone dreamed of. Is there a single man not ever dreamed of having a long life and being powerful? Even an idiot would come up with that idea.
His life is filled with setbacks. He has no talent in cultivation. For how many years, he is stuck at level one for all of his life. He used an unknown item given to him by an evil cultivator. It was said that he can reach higher cultivation with it.
He hurried to go here in the forest to use it try his luck. He then activated the unknown item and it let him reach higher cultivation forcefully but his soul will dissipate into nothingness. After it will be completely dissipated, he will become a puppet of that evil cultivator. He didn't want this to happen so he committed suicide before his soul dissipated and lose his consciousness.
That is the reason why the original Clyde of this world died while being able to break through level 2 not too long ago. This is also why Emelssha Stratfort thought that Clyde is still on level 1.
Emelssha Stratfort is the little miss he saved not too long ago. He scanned the memories of the old Clyde after Emelssha insulted him.
"Will you please leave me alone? I can actually save myself." Then Emelssha seated at lotus position and she pulled out two vials with red liquid and blue liquid and then drank them successively.
"Tssssss" Then Clyde walked away from her. He fully scanned the original Clyde of this world's memories and he also found out those people who bullied him.
"I'll do you a favor. I will avenge you from those who looked down upon you and bullied you and cause them trouble in exchange for giving me a new life!" Then he walked out
Give me my current status| He commanded Alice.

"Hmmmmmmm." He nodded as he analyzed his stats that displayed in his brain.
What do this levels in skills represent?| Clyde asked Alice.
That is your level of mastery on a certain skill. Once you reached level 10 in the mastery of your skills, they will evolve into a powerful one. For example, quickstep, when evolved it became 'BLINK'. Blink allows you to travel in a short distance in an instant. You can level up them by using them. Just use a skill and you will gain experience and level up that skill.| Alice explained details by details so Clyde can understand it in one go.
So, by using cultivation techniques I can acquire experience for my cultivation level, right?| Clyde asked again.
Yes, definitely. And I can cultivate for you. Just acquire me higher levels of breathing techniques and it will be faster for you to acquire experience points. Eating pills, foods and drinking potions will also add experience points to your cultivation level.|
So it means that you are absorbing natural energy right now and turn it into experience points for my cultivation, right?| He asked.
Yes master, precisely.|
He then continued to walk and then he reached the kingdom.
Hmmmm. The kingdom of Sovarita really lived up to its reputation is the biggest city in the nearby regions.| he said to himself.
He then walked towards the Kingdom's gate. It was guarded by two middle-aged men. They already knew who he was so they didn't ask him his identity badge or interrogated him.
They looked at Clyde disgustingly. Then one of them shouted, "THE WEAKLING CLYDE FINALLY REACHED LEVEL 2 AFTER ETERNITY! HAHAHAHAHA!!".
The nearby citizens of the kingdom laughed when they heard this. Clyde is already 18 yet he is still stuck at level 2. Others in his generations are already at level 7 onwards and he is the only one stuck at level 1 the longest. People like him are always looked down upon.
In every community, power means everything. The more powerful you are the more people respected you while on the other hand the weaker you are the more people disrespect you. It also happens on earth, rich ones are respected while poor people are often disrespected.
Clyde blushed a bit because of shame and anger but he suppressed himself not for not bursting out.
He then started to walk towards a certain place. This place was not too far from the gate, only a few blocks away. As he walked on the streets, people look at him disgustingly as if they saw a cockroach crawling on the floor or in the kitchen.
He will buy a cultivation manual so he can level up faster. Soon, he reached the store that sells supplies for cultivation. The store has potions, pills, cultivation manuals, weapons and other things necessary in the path cultivation.
People nearby looked him curiously while he is standing in the front door of the store. Then he heard people near him talking about him.
"Ehh? What is he going to do in that place? Is he there to buy pills so he can level up?"
"Yeah, maybe you're right, but where did he get the money?"
"Did he do something illegal?"
He ignored everything he heard and he entered the store.
"Welcome to the store!" a beautiful attendant welcomed him as he entered the store. He felt his heart flutter for a second because of the beauty of the attendant.
Then the attendant looked at his face and realized it was Clyde that entered the store.
"It was just the Mr.Stuck at level 1 for almost eternity. I thought it was someone with higher social standing and greater power. Hmmpfff!" Then the attendant walked away after she insulted Clyde face to face.
Clyde sighed ignored what happened. Back on earth, he also received these kinds of messages. At first, he will go berserk after he heard insults from others but now he learned to control his self even more.
He walked towards the cultivation manual section and grabbed the one that he can buy with his current budget. After that, he paid it at the counter. The owner of the shop who is in the counter looked at him confusedly when he brought the cultivation manual and going to pay for it.
And then he said, "This manual is for a higher level of cultivation. It is suited for foundation level, are you sure you want to buy this?" he is a merchant and also a cultivator and he knows what is best for someone. He knew that Clyde wanted this thing but it is not suited for him, he doesn't want Clyde to pay for him for something he cannot use. If he does it, it will look like he is extorting money from Clyde.
"I want this!" Clyde said.
The merchant shook his head and then sold it at Clyde. Clyde saved money for himself. He has his own farm and he sells his goods to the small stores in the kingdom.
He then hurried up and walked exited the kingdom and walked towards his house. He lived outside of the kingdom. He has his own farm with vegetables and some animals like chickens, goat and cows.
He entered his small hut and sit on lotus position on a mat. At then he began to read the cultivation manual and memorizing it. He didn't need to do anything because Alice will cultivate for him.
is it faster to cultivate now Alice?| he asked Alice.
It really is faster than before master. It is getting dark now. Sleep now and you will level up to Energy Condensation level 3 when you woke up.| Alice stated.
Ohhhh, is that so? Then I will now sleep early so that I will have the energy for training my skills and leveling them up tomorrow. Goodnight Alice!| then he stood up from lotus sitting position and hurried up to his bed and he fell asleep as soon as he lied on his bed.
