'You are unable to truly fathom the depths of my power.'
'This is the story of the hardest and dumbest decision of my life. To go back and reincarnate into that of a rather talentless bloke with all my future memories.'
'The pathetic and useless man Aranak only had ordinary spiritual roots, and I at least decided to chose someone handsome, but other than that he's pretty much useless this time around.'
'The challenge will be an interesting one.'
'Yes, when I first reincarnated into this Aranak, he'd just been beaten into a bloody pulp and even his girlfriend joined on the fun of stomping in his face.'
'What an unlucky bastard. Hmph, he has no idea how lucky he is this ultimate being chose to descend into him. I'll make sure to show his girlfriend how a real man does business with a woman.''
'What am I saying?! She stomped on my head and turned me into the equivalent of my beautiful countenance into that comparable to a plate of scrambled eggs mixed in with the sidewalk beneath her bloodied feet.'
'Geez, wait, I just found out she cheated on him with his best friend behind his back. Nope, she won't be getting the mighty blessing of the once strongest man in the universe. Her friends, her sisters, and her mother will be taking her place!'
'At this moment, I waited for everyone to leave and reactivated my pulse using the karmic revival sutra I normally use when I take off bodies. However, to make it harder on myself, I left no way to connect to my ultimate body waiting in the heavens. I'd have to arrive there by myself in order to regain access to my body. God, this is such a stupid decision, but I'm going to have fun terrorizing these mortals with this little simple body.'
'Time to stand up.' Aranak picked himself off the ground and wiped the blood off his face and walked home while ignoring the body bag he'd been placed inside. He walked home and took a shower in the rain, slapped a few staring idiots, and ignored his crying sister hearing a call about he'd died.
He walked passed her, took a bath, and started to plan how to make use of this body.
'Cutlvation Art shall be Eight paths of the Mortal Body. I'll take it slow. In one year I'll be at the heavenly rite stage and then two years after I'll be at the sacred rite stage. Hmph, even in this body I can easily ascend back to the eighth layer of the hidden cosmos and destroy everyone in my way.'
'All that stupid talk about how this man got blessed with the dragon body, and got any women he wanted because he had pheremones that made them scream his name on contact. All this stuff about him getting too many sacred treasures to increase his strength. Hmph, I can do it without one of those. All the information I had from being born a distant relative of a mom screwing dragoneer is more than enough.'
Aranak went downstairs and sat at the table while his sister informed his mother of his death. He didn't make a lot of noise, and left before they had a chance to realize he still lived on this earth. He decided to go quickly find a few rare materials at a store to rapidly power up.
Sage Covenience Store.
Aranak walked into the discount isle and found three simple ingredients that with the right knowledge of chemical compounds rapidly increased strength.
'Hmm, women love this stuff too right?!'
Aranak also found ingredients for increasing women's attraction to him, destroying someone's foundation, and a few body cleansing materials that cost less than a dollar.
'Heh, who says you need to have expensive items to become a powerful cultivator. I'm going to use hardly any money! Hah, with enough knowledge, even a day old leaf can rival a million year dragon soul body!'
Aranak bought all the items, went back home, used the pestle in the kitchen over his fainted mother and passed out sister.
'Hmph, it's unimportant to worry about family right now. Heh, tomorrow I'll let them know after I get a side of revenge. That girlfriend is probably with my friends. Oh right, let me shrink all the features she loves about herself for revenge.'
Aranak opened a bag of less than a bronze dollar coin items, tossed them all in a rice pot, turned it on high, mixed it with some products he found in his kitchen in order to make a rather sweet smelling batch of juice.
He then used a dollar mold to make some cookies instead of bothering to make them round like pills. Who needed pills when you had a rather inexpensive alternative mold. Screw the pills being round. He even added some spices to make it taste better on the exterior.
'Heh, this is perfect. 5 of these and I'll be able to cleanse my impurities. In 3 hours, even in this useless body, I'll be 10 times stronger than the dumb girlfriend stealing assholes who cherished this bodies girlfriend a few too many times together. Then I can go to each of their families houses and beat the living crap out of everyone they love. I'll eat a cookie on the way.'
Aranak stuffed four cookies in his mouth after finishing the batch and then exited his new body's home while munching on the way. He walked passed where they'd drawn a chalk outline, the blood dripping on the streets, and the dozens of reporters asking about his unfortunate death to his girlfriends house across the street.
She seemed to be enjoying herself since her father happened to be an investigator who helped kill Aranak, and cover their tracks. Her new boyfriend watched her dance while playing video games. She looked somewhat pretty for a backwater world like whatever this place had been called by Aranak's ancestors.
He knocked on the door and watched his ex-girlfriend run over with her new boyfriend.
She looked somewhat shocked, but then he punched her in the face, and walked over to her boyfriend who had grabbed a knife. After kicking him hard into the wall, he walked over to the father gathering three flames in his hand to attack.
'Hmph, if you had a few more cookies you'd be a lot stronger. Waste of my energy.'
Aranak kicked the investigator into the balls, and made his eyes burst open before shoving his head into the man's son. He opened the door and then tossed the son and father into the sky. When they landed, they'd either be dead or alive. However, his girlfriend he wanted some revenge on badly.
"Hmmm, she left you a virgin and killed you after cheating on you. It's a shame, I don't like killing girls. Oh, I know. I'll just give her the cookie I made for her. Here, eat up, eat up. Go back a few years in development for the rest of your life cheating whore.'
Aranak shoved a cookie into her mouth and forced her to eat it before going to steal some other cheap materials.
'Yes, I see… This investigator really spent too much. Hah, these 3 year old bags of peanuts are going to make great cookie batter! I'm going to get so much stronger from these!'
Aranak walked outside after defeating his enemies and put his sister and mother on the couch before slapping them awake.
'Mother, sister. Your son has gotten revenge. Now I have to get stronger. Do you mind if I borrow ten dollars?! That should get me to the first rite of the mortal stage.'
"Mother… Am I dreaming?! I saw brother get shot and bleed out before his body got bitten by dogs."
"It's a dream! It's a dream! He's alive!" His mother acted all uncouth and happy so Aranak just decided to go make his own money.
He walked over to the investigators taking pictures of the crime scene and asked him about their school.
'Hi, yes, I'd like to be an investigator. If I remember correctly, this world teaches investigators how to use things like magic right?! I can tell you're in the third mortal rite, but you clearly have good eyes. Take me back to your leader, eh?! I'll make it worth your while."
"My god, how are you not dead?!" The investigator dropped his jaw in shock and pushed back his black hair. You-you'd been killed by dogs, and your girlfriend had let go of them back accident right?! I heard she tried to stab one, but hit you instead."
"What girlfriend?! She's not worth my time." Aranak patted the investigator on the shoulder. "Now, come on. I'll kill you if you don't take me to the academy. I'm not kidding. If I steal your car, and your clothes, I can just rob the vault. Either way, I'm going to the school of investigators."
"My god, you must have been hurt so bad! Yes, of course I'll take you to the school. However, you can't join unless you pass a test. You have to be in teh second mortal rite stage! You're not even up to that point yet!"
"I have cookies," Aranak tossed a cookie into his mouth. "Let's go partner. I'll be taking your wife out later."
