"Why? Why do you have to kill me?", said a man kneeling on the ground with blood trickling down from the corner of his mouth.
"Tsuwin, you are just a son of a whore. I don't understand what father sees in you that he decided to transfer all his properties under your name", said Daren as he kicked Tsuwin on his shoulder.
"No way, Big Brother listen to me, even if Father does that, I wouldn't accept it", Tsuwin struggled to stand up as he tried to persuade his big brother.
Daren grabbed him from his collar and shouted, "Shut up I have already seen the papers"
Tsuwin looked at Daren with tears in his eyes and said, "Big Brother, I have always trusted you but you..."
Without even letting him finish the sentence, Daren pushed him down the cliff as he shouted, "Die... Go to hell you son of a wretched whore"
Falling from the cliff, Tsuwin thought, 'Is this how my life ends! Who could have known that I would one day die in the hands of my own brother'
As he falls deeper and deeper down the cliff, darkness engulfed him and his consciousness slowly faded away.

'Drip'
'Drop'
'Drip'
'What is that sound? Did I forgot to properly turn off the tap'
Inside a small shabby room, a young man was lying on the floor and he was frowning from time to time. He seemed to be disturbed by the sound of the water leaking from the roof.
The young man slowly opened his eyes weakly. Looking at the unfamiliar roof above his head, he said to himself, ''where am I? Didn't I die already"
He tried to get up but as soon as he did, he felt a sharp pain all over his body.
"F**k, it hurts. Did all my bones got crushed after falling from the cliff"
As he was struggling to get up, he heard a commotion outside the room.
"Even though his spirit root was not detected and couldn't gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, he is still a member of the Shi family. How dare you treat him like this"
"Yethan, stop spouting nonsense without knowing the whole story. I punished Tsuwin because he failed to do the work assigned to him"
"Fifty lashes with barb wire for someone who doesn't have a spirit root and you say that's a punishment! It's equal to sending him to death's door. Jingsuin, you just wait if anything happens to Tsuwin I will not spare you"
"Who cares even if he dies, he is a trash, a good for nothing and a shame to our Shi family"
Inside the room, Tsuwin listened to the voice of two young boys arguing about him and was confused.
'Spirit root! punishment with barb wire! the spiritual energy of heaven and earth! What are they even talking about?'
As he was lost in his thoughts, the door opened with a 'creak' and a handsome young man roughly around the age of eighteen rushed in. He had a tinge of worry on his face.
As soon as that handsome young man spotted a feeble young boy lying on the cold floor with his whole body soaked in blood and tattered clothes, he hurriedly took off his outer robe and wrapped him around, and called him out worriedly, "Tsuwin, Tsuwin, big brother is here, no one can bully you now. Can you hear me!"
Looking at the serious condition of the young boy in his arms, Yethan's eyes turned bloodshot and shouted out, "Jingsuin, you bastard. How dare you treat Tsuwin like this, even throwing him inside the woodshed during this cold season. I, Yethan will remember this debt"
Saying this, he carried the young boy on his back and rushed out of the woodshed.
'What is going on? who are these people? Why is this little boy calling himself my big brother?'
Lying weakly on the back of Yethan, the young boy had a confused expression on his bruised face.
Carrying the boy on his back Yethan rushed towards a small courtyard while giving orders to the servant, "Quickly open the door and prepare warm water and clean clothes"
Yethan carefully laid down the weak young boy on the bed and said, "Tsuwin, wait for big brother, I will be back with an apothecary"
Yethan rushed out of the room leaving the confused young boy on the bed.
The young boy was Tsuwin who transmigrated from Earth to another world after he died by falling off the cliff. He was currently inside the body of a sixteen-year-old boy.
'Just where the hell did I land up after falling from the cliff' thought Tsuwin.
Looking around the room, he found that the room was not so big but not too small at the same time. Due to his injuries, he could only move his head. He slowly turns his head left and right to inspect the environment he is in but he found the room a little odd. After a moment, he quickly found out what was wrong with the room. There was no electricity, no AC, no TV, or any other modern technology and stuffs inside the room.
Tsuwin looked at the room that looked ancient but not ancient. Looking up the ceiling he saw a white round ball with the size of a football hanging on it. There were a table and a chair in the middle of the room. On the table lay some books, a teapot, and a teacup. The wall was made of some unknown materials and next to the small window there was a wooden wardrobe that looked quite old.
After looking at the room he thought, 'Did someone save me after I fall from the cliff? But that little guy called me by my name and he acted as if he knows me well'
While he was still confused about the current situation he was in, he heard the sound of footsteps outside the room.
'Whatever, let me just observe the situation first. I just hope this isn't another trick played by Daren'
Tsuwin closed his eyes with sadness as he thought about Daren.
