Territory of Heaven Dou Empire, Fasinuo Province, Nuoding city.
Nuoding college.
Nuoding Academy is a Primary Spirit Master Academy. It is present in the Nuoding City. It was divided into a few areas: the main school building, a sports ground and a dormitory to the east of the sports ground.
Even though it was only an elementary spirit master academy, this place's requirements towards students were extremely strict; even if the home was near the academy, students must still live in the academy under a unified regime.
In the grassy field behind Nuoding college, a young boy was lying down on the ground, seemingly unconscious.
The young boy looked to be about six years old; He has Silver white hair, his face is very handsome, the kind that tops most of his fellow gender. The boy has fair skin, but his complexion looked quite pale and body was frail, as if possessing congenital weakness. He was dressed in casual clothes.
Suddenly, the young boy opened his eyes in a dazed manner and sat up. His red pupils constantly sweeping around, looking around with a confused expression on his face.
"This… where am I? What am I doing here? Wasn't I taking part in the inauguration of my new company?"
The young boy, or rather, Rayne was bewildered, his mind was in a momentary confusion.
But it didn't take long for him to understand his situation, as a torrent of memories suddenly appeared in his mind. This made Rayne furrow his brows in discomfort.
"I see… I am a reincarnator, I just awakened my past life memories along with my cheats." Rayne muttered to himself, as his pupils showed some clarity.
[Ding! Assistance System is now online.]
[Ding! Your exclusive Gold-level Novice Pack is now active and can be opened at anytime. Please check it as soon as possible.]
Rayne looked at the blue screen in front of him and remembered the process of him getting his cheats, and of course, his death in past life.
…
In his past life, Rayne was raised by his mother single-handedly, as his father had passed away very early.
To Rayne, his mother in his past life is an incredible person. She raised him to be a good and kind hearted person, at the same time teaching him valuable morals and principles. Apparently, his father wasn't a morally good person and has done quite a bit of unpleasant deeds. So his mother didn't want him to grow up to be such a person.
Rayne did live up to his mother's expectations and grow up to be a good and kind hearted person. Its just… there is a hidden problem in him.
The young Rayne had come into contact with anime and comics, which wasn't particularly prohibited by his mother. As he came into contact with anime, he especially fell in love with a morally-wrong genre and even aspired to like the protagonist of the said genre.
The harem!
It goes against the principles and morals of a good and kind hearted man. Being dedicated and caring for the one woman you love is the responsibility of a good man. But, the harem genre is basically promoting immorality. The unfairness towards women by a man.
But Rayne fell in love with such a thing with a burning passion. Even he himself doesn't know why. He felt that it was his destiny.
But of course, reality slapped him in the face. He quickly understood that it was almost impossible for multiple women to accept and share the same man.
The only aspect that could possibly make harem possible is a handsome appearance and… an extraordinary status that can support this ambition.
Rayne understood that it was impossible for low and average status men to have harem. The fantasy situation of a poor boy attracting the love of multiple top beauties in simply impossible in real life. At the very least, he himself hasn't found such cases in his 'research'.
So, from then on, he worked hard with the single goal of achieving a great social status and wealth.
He mostly focused on learning about stocks and marketing, as well as other similar subjects that is useful for him.
His mother was very happy to see her son working hard for his future. But the poor good woman didn't know that her son's motivation for such hard work was his desired harem in the future, where his woman can accept him being with other women at the same time without any problems. The so-called path of 'good' scumbag.
He also exercised, practiced multiple martial arts and paid attention to his health, all for the sake of his future sexual happiness, and self defense in case something unexpected happens.
From the time he began to work hard for his dreams, he understood one thing. That is… he is undoubtedly a genius, even to a supernatural level.
The speed at which he learnt was a lot faster than his peers. It was to the point where even Rayne, who was taught to be moderately humble, could understand his absolute superiority over others. This was by no means his arrogance, it was just a fact.
The rate at which he mastered many different aspects was simply inhumane.
At the age of 21, Rayne had accumulated an enormous amount of wealth from stocks and investments and various other means. His mother was in disbelief at the exaggerated growth of her son's wealth.
With his wealth, he decided to establish an investment company, to be a president of the company, the beginning of an extraordinary status.
During these years of hard work, his desire to have a harem has unknowingly become an obsession, to the point of absurdity.
At that time, Rayne had firmly believed that all his hard work was going to come to fruition very soon.
He doesn't desire an unreasonably big harem. As much as he wishes for it, it is realistically impossible. At the end of the day, no matter how innately talented he is,… he is still a human.
His body most likely won't be able handle a very big harem.
So he settled for four harem members. It's still more than possible for him to take responsibility for four women.
But unfortunately, the world had prepared a big slap in the face for him.
In the day of the inauguration of his company, a bunch of meteors came from nowhere, with no prediction or warning whatsoever , and smashed more than half of the country he lived in, taking his life along with it.
…
Recalling his absurd and unreasonable death, Rayne's face had a gloomy look.
"All my hard work for nothing! Damn it, and I was so close too!" Rayne gritted his teeth in frustration and unwillingness.
But he soon calmed down as he recalled his current situation.
After his death, he had appeared in a strange and mystical space and met an incredibly beautiful girl(?) Who presented him with the choice of rebirth in a random fantasy world.
As obsessed as he is with harem, Rayne has an even greater priority than his own wellbeing. That is his mother.
So he didn't accept the offer of the strange girl(?) right away. Surprisingly, the strange girl(?) agreed to reincarnate his mother along with him as his family in another world. Although, unlike him, his mother wouldn't have any gifts or preferential treatment of sorts. But Rayne was satisfied. Even without any gifts for his mother, he can support her himself.
After coming to an agreement with the strange girl(?), Rayne was given an Assistance System, that will help get stronger.
After that, he was presented with a strange roulette with seven sections, representing seven different minerals. The lowest being copper and the highest being diamond.
The seven sections are copper, bronze, silver, gold, black gold, platinum, and diamond.
According to the strange girl(?), this roulette is for choosing the quality of Novice gift pack based on their luck.
When Rayne saw this roulette, he was sure that he wasn't the first one to come to this space.
After trying his luck, Rayne won a Gold-level Novice gift pack, which is the fourth highest quality gift pack from the roulette. The strange girl(?) even commented 'not bad' upon seeing his novice gift pack. So it shouldn't be bad.
After that, he was abruptly sent away from the space, at the same time was reminded that he will awaken his past memories, as well as the system and novice gift at an appropriate time.
Recovering from his confusion, Rayne stood up from the grassy ground.
"So now is the appropriate time?" He let out a wry smile. After all, he has already awakened his martial soul, and his current situation wasn't very optimistic either.
"System, status screen." Rayne uttered in a low voice, and a new blue screen appeared in front of him.
…
[Status]
Host: Rayne Ashburn
Spirit level: Level 0.5
Martial Soul: Blue Silver Grass
Current Status: Congenital frail body, Not very healthy.
Skills: Sky Water Meditation Method (Lv.1)
Current Quests: None
…
"Ugh.."
Looking at his status screen that didn't show anything new to him, Rayne's mood was somewhat complicated.
His martial soul was originally a mutated version of Blue Silver Grass inherited from his mother of this world.
Blue Silver Misty Grass, a water attribute variation of Blue Silver Grass. Although not a top-grade martial soul, it is still a relatively high grade martial soul.
Rayne's mother of this world, Shui Xin'er is formerly from Tianshui Academy's Shui Family lineage, then later joined Spirit Hall after being recruited by Spirit Hall academy when she was young.
He also has an older sister named Silvia Ashburn, who is also the reincarnated mother of his past life. He doesn't know whether she has her past memories. But Rayne intends on supporting her. With his knowledge of the plot, it is not too hard for him to get some good resources to support her. And he still has a system. Although it seems to be a simple system without any specific focus, it still gives rewards for the possible quests given. The rewards should be fairly good.
His father, Ordeaz Ashburn, was from a collateral family of Huo clan of Blazing Academy, similarly recruited into Spirit Hall long ago and even once held a fairly high position before his demise at the hands of Tang Hao along with the former Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall, Qian Xunji.
When Shui Xin'er was pregnant with Rayne, their family encountered an attack from a group of dark spirit masters. In the battle, although she came out victorious, Shui Xin'er was attacked by the evil energy, which caused some irreparable problems for the unborn Rayne and herself.
His congenital fragile constitution caused his originally inherited martial soul Blue Silver Misty Grass to devolve into a low-level Blue Silver Grass. His innate spirit power is also very low due to his frail constitution.
"Well, it doesn't really matter what my starting point is anymore. I have an unopened gift pack. I don't believe I won't find anything beneficial for my current situation." Rayne soon got over from pondering about his current predicament.
"And.. this world is where strength is supreme. My dream of having a harem… its not an almost impossible task anymore. In this world of spirit masters, opening a harem is completely possible as long as I become strong! As long as I become the strongest, everything is possible!"
As soon as Rayne thought of this, all his depression was swept away. He had a new fighting spirit in his eyes, along with expectations.
