Chapter 4 - Young Again

"Arrrrgghhhh!". Zeron Plum roared as he jumped awake from his unconsciousness.

"Ouch, it hurts". He said while rubbing his head. Looking around he saw that it was an unfamiliar environment "So it wasn't a dream, Hahaha! Hahahaha!"

"It wasn't a dream, I Zeron plum transmigrated".

"Bullshit!!!". He roared!

"Who is playing with me, Did I ask you to transmigrate me?".

"Huh, Answer me motherf***ker."

"Did you seek my permission to send me away!", How dare you!".

Zeron Plum was raging in the room when his senses alerted him that people were outside.

He then calmed his emotions and listened carefully to the voices outside the room.

"Sake is that boy mad? I told you we shouldn't have accepted him."

"I know but that uncle was scary with that scary build and big broadsword and most importantly... He gave us a gold coin."

"This is the first time I have ever seen a gold coin and even touched it". Said Sake with an excited body expression.

Zeron heard the voices of a boy and a girl coming from outside the room.

He stood up from the bed and just stared at the door of the room that was four feet away from where he stood.

After he stopped staring, he then casually glanced at the room, but that simple look observed everything in the room.

It was a simple room with only a bed and a table, with one chair. On top of the table, there was an envelope lying there.

It was a small room.

Zeron then said, "Who's there?".

There was a bout of silence outside.

He saw that no one replied to him, so he walked outside.

Opening the room door, he saw three kids at the age of fifteen looking at him.

"Hi, I am Zeron Plum". Zeron stretched forth his hands toward the guy on the left side with the most mature bearing among the three kids.

Instead of exchanging greetings with a handshake, the kid with a mature bearing just looked at Zeron and cupped his two hands by bringing them together as in those classical Chinese movies.

"I am named Rale" nice to meet you".

Zeron looked at this Rale who weirdly looked at him, then thought in his mind.

(this dude doesn't understand he is the weird one).

(Come on, go do what you did to me in public, if little children won't shit their butt away laughing at you).

Zeron made a weird face as he thought, trying to hold in his laughter.

"Is anything wrong". Asked Rale with a concerned face.

Zeron instead laughed aloud and said, "No it's nothing Rale, I am just glad I am alive". He smiled immediately after he said that.

All three of the kids then smiled.

So Zeron thought for a second, then asked.

"kids where is this place". Rale looked at him for a second then said "We are in t-"

"Wait!" Someone cut Rale off.

And as Zeron looked to where the voice came from. It was from the girl among the group that cut in.

Zeron looks at her and she stares back at him angrily.

"Boy what are you trying to do by calling us kids, do you think you are a grown-up or what". She challenged Zeron.

Zeron then said with a laugh. "ObviouslyI a-".

Zero became stunned. He started shaking.

As the kids look up to him with wonder ((why is he hyperventilating))

He breathes in deeply to settle his breath. Then said inwardly with a smile (so I am young again).

He was smiling with his lip, and his face all smiling but if you look deep enough, you will realize that although his face is smiling, his eyes are expressionless.

Because of the shock he received from transmigrating where he saw people fighting in the air, the damage to his senses caused by the girl who knocked him unconscious with a look.

Upon awakening, Zeron was still disoriented and ignored the fact that his voice was somewhat weak and lacked the presence of the deep masculinity he had in his twenties.

What made his mind settled was that he still retained his martial arts ability which he cultivated.

His internal ki is still at the upper level even if his age has decreased. Maybe to him is an added advantage.

A youthful body but with terrifying internal ki.

His potential is unlimited.

....

(So, I am young again).

Zeron Plum murmured as he remembered the conversation he had with the kids.

The three kids were members of the Satin village, they spent all their fifteen years of life in this village.

Satin village is like every other village you could imagine even though it is a fantasy world village.

The town's people are honest folk who do farm work as a means of living.

The living standard was good because of the traveling merchants who stopped at the village on the way to Sword River Association's outer court branch which was in the Wyrm mountain range.

The village is the last village before the Wyrm mountain range where the Sword River Association outer court is located. It is a three-day journey from the village to the mountain range by horse.

The Wyrm mountain range is a famous resource site where hunters, medicine gatherers, and doctors source income from wild animals and herbs that are located in the mountain range.

But they could only stay in the outer part. The inner part is said to be very dangerous.

The Wyrm mountain range is called that because the landscape looks like a wyrm that is lying down.

The Wyrm mountain range is where the famous sects of Sealore 'Sword River Association' Sundai region outer court is located.

Zeron tried to ask the three kids about the part of the famous sects and Sealore, but they didn't know anything about that.

What they knew was that the Sword River Association Sundai region outer court is one of the eight sects any kid would like to enter in this region.

Followed by the Saber thought sect, Sword Dominion sect, Red Tiger fangs, mortal reliance, Stream Fist sect, Water double sect, and Bright Dark sect.

Those are the sects that are in the ten-thousand-mile surroundings.

The region is called the 'Sundai Region.

And about Sealore, what they know is that the continent they are staying at is called Sealore continent with 97 percent water and 3 percent land.

Zeron later got to know the three kids and their personalities.

They then became fast friends as they were both in the same age group 'fifteen'.

Yes, Zeron regressed by ten years, he now has his fifteen-year-old body.

He couldn't notice his current self back then when he first transmigrated because his body was numb from the electrical current and he was so shocked about his transmigration that to check if he looked the same or if some parts were smaller.

Then he saw people fighting in the air, and you know the rest.

Thankfully he still has his strength for in case of any danger he can respond accordingly.

Zero laughed as he thought of Sake when he was introducing himself.

.....

(Flashback)

"Hi, I am Sake, don't underestimate me because I have a chubby body".

Sake continues by saying "I will be a powerful cultivator, marry the prettiest wife, and make my father the landowner of all the houses in Sundai Region."

His father was the village chief of the Satin Village, and everyone in the village used the same surname 'Satin'.

His father is a landowner, and he owns all the inns in the village.

Sake puffed up his chest as he said all that.

"Stop being unrealistic Sake, with your rum belly, how do you hope to even fight as a cultivator?". The girl beside him laughed. Her name is Chulan.

She looks pretty with a nice clean-cut facial expression with no spots or freckles on her face like most village girls have.

"Chulan!" Sake screamed.

He said. "Humph, next week is when Sword River Association has their annual recruitment, I will shock you with my talent". Boasted Sake

Chulan laughed and said, "Sure, show us there your eating talent". She laughs.

"Pffftt "Even the kid with a mature bearing whose name was Rale laughed too.

"Don't mind her Sake, we all believe you can do it". He smiles as he says that.

Chulan also followed to smile as well. She was just teasing him. Now Sake starts getting embarrassed.

(Oh, now you can be embarrassed).

Zeron thought as he saw Sake who was now acting shy.

He smiled at them as they started having small talk.

The three of them then told Zeron to go rest and that they would come back tomorrow to show him around the village.

....

(Flashback End)

With a serious expression, Zeron Plum walks up to the table where on it lies an envelope.

With an expressionless face, he reaches out his hands to take it. He held it in his hands.

The kids told him that the three individuals who brought him here left it there and told them that when he woke up, he should read it.

With a shallow smile and some kind of a smirk that held expectations for the possible message from his kidnappers.

Zeron opens the envelope.
