Where am I?

Am I?

Dead?

Feeling a dim light, he leaped at it, as if a moth leapt at fire.

Slowly, vision returned: "Is this sunlight?"

A yellow light traveling through his optic nerve signaled his brain; his blurred vision returned to normal in a while.

Inside a small eastern-style courtyard,

A boy about 11 or 12 years old opened his eyes, patting the table in front of him, shaking his head groggily, and sat up on the chair. He rubbed away his mouth with a confused expression that shrouded his face.

Looking at the brown table in front, he then glanced around, looking at the unrecognizable eastern-style room. His expression became strange.

He also noticed the blood on his cuff and on the brown table in front of him.

'Why am I in this room? How did I survive that planet annihilation? Why am i, wearing an asian han brocade robe, there is suspicious blood on my cuff and table. Also, what kind of material are these clothes made of? It's so comfortable,' Looking at the suit on his body, as well as the wide robe and wide sleeves, feeling warm and comfortable, his mind became chaotic with thoughts.

'Am I inside some eastern country?' confused looking around, at an ancient eastern-style spacious room, everything inside made from wood, looking at the wooden frame with a mirror adjusted inside.

Then he glanced at his palms; he noticed they were smaller than his usual hands; his face changed hurriedly; he stood up and appeared in front of the mirror, looking at the reflection; and the next second, his chin almost dislocated because of shock.

'Who is this?'

Looking at an immature figure and youthful handsome face, dark black eyes widen in shock, black lengthy hair bound as a topknot with a pin behind his head, a dual short bang separated from the front head scattered around his forehead,

'Is this me? How can I become so handsome? I mean, why am I in this body? Is it because I have reincarnated again? ' Lin Lee thought in surprise looking at his appearance, then became thoughtful.

Instantly, his expression froze. An unknown photographic images appeared in his mind out of nowhere, or, you can say, they were just important flashbacks of the previous owner of this body.

After a while, his brow furrowed, and he glanced in the table direction, looking at the scattered bottles.

"So I really traveled through. The previous owner of this body is Lin Lee, the same name as me. He is the third young master of the Lin clan, one of the three big clans in Silvermoon City and Tang State, inside the Wood Spirit Empire.'

"So I am not in some eastern country, but it's an eastern fantasy continent. There are immortals and gods here; they can split the mountain, cleave the sea, and shatter heaven and earth," Lin Lee muttered with a twitching mouth because he felt strange pronouncing those outrageous words.

'This body owner died because of poisoning, although at the final moment he ate the detoxification pill, but still his soul was scattered, and I replaced this hapless guy,' Lin Lee thoughtfully walked and appeared beside the table. He picked up one of the bottles scattered on the table; it was the spirit water bottle his cousin gave him to drink after exercise.

'It seems poison was mixed by him inside.' Lin Lee thought to himself,

"The previous owner of this body was extremely talented; even without awakening his martial spirit, he reached the 2nd stage of martial artistry, which sparked the hatred of other young masters in the clan because they felt that he may end up sitting on the clan owner's seat because of his talent." Lin Lee muttered, his expression becoming strange, scanning through his memory, becoming thoughtful.

'This talent is really outrageous; no one can upgrade without martial spirit, because after awakening martial spirit, only one can absorb the heaven and earth aura.'

'Also, he is an orphan in this Lin clan; his parents were sacrificed to heaven because an innate monster was on the verge of breakthrough to Master Realm, in Silvermoon Forest attached to this city.

'Whole city innate stage warriors were sent there in order to encircle and kill it, prevent him from upgrading, or it will endanger the whole half Tang state; his father was one of them; he died in the hand of that monster; as for his mother, he didn't know anything about her; his father said she died when he was born.'

'His father was the 3rd son of clan head, but his eldest uncle is now the head of the Lin clan,'

"It's the same plot as those novels; the protagonist family is sacrificed to heaven, then a bloody plot of family or clan, hidden plots of maid, sweetheart, or mother, killing a small, old one appears, etc. It's interesting; I didn't expect I would get a chance to reincarnate twice." Lin Lee muttered intriguingly,

Although he is an asian, he doesn't know a lot about eastern culture, because he grew up in a foreign country in both previous lives.

Now he is excited to deal with all that future trouble and plot.

"Young Master," a soft and anxious voice sounded, with hurried footsteps falling in his ears.

Lin Lee ear-erected, listening to the female shouting turned around and glanced at the direction of entrance.

"Young Master, I brought..."

A long shout sounded again. A female appeared, running anxiously toward his courtyard room. Instantly,  her foot stumbled on the small broken wood section on the floor. "Yeeeee."

Thud!

Lying flat on the ground, the bottle slipped through her hand, rotated, and appeared near Lin Lee's foot.

Lin Lee glanced at the lying figure speechlessly, picked up the bottle,

She raised her head, with tears flowing through her big eyes along with nosebleeds, hurriedly sat up, started rubbing her nose, and spoke, "Young master, this is the detoxification pill I got from my friend."

Lin Lee mouth twitched looking at this girl with a slim built, beautiful round face, wearing ancient style clothes, twin ponytail flickering above her head, sitting and rubbing her bloody nose and cheeks.

'So this is my maid, Meng Yu, in my memory. Probably she is the initiator of the maid type plot, but this maid doesn't look special; instead, she looks like an idiot.'

Lin Lee thought to himself speechlessly, then coughed, recalled this body habit, appeared beside her, passed his handkerchief, and replied, "Meng Yu, I have already taken the detoxification pill. I am fine now. Thank you."

"Really," Meng Yu asked, her eyes lit up, then her face turned red. Looking at the handkerchief in Lin Le's hand, she hurriedly stood up in front of him and grabbed the handkerchief. With a red tomato-like face, she thought, 'Young Master is so considerate.'

After a while,

Looking at Lin Lee's side profile while wiping the nosebleed, her eyes flickered, 'Young Master feels like something has changed in him.' She was surprised by her thought, then shook her head.

Lin Lee then glanced at the bottle in his hand, opened it, and a small white pill appeared in his palm, rotating, exuding a refreshing aroma. He put it in his mouth.

Next moment, a strange expression shrouded his face, feeling taste in his mouth. Lin Lee felt like chewing a bitter plant, then the pill turned into liquid, and after a while, a warm current spread through his stomach.

He sighed in relief. 'What a bitter taste,' he thought to himself. He didn't know pills are designed to be swallowed whole; no one chews them.

"Young Master, tomorrow is the martial spirit awakening day; you must be careful of other young masters." Meng Yu then remembered something and said a little worriedly. She also felt the poison attack was the work of another young master in the clan.

"Martial spirit!!!"

Lin Lee raised his brow, recalling the memory of martial spirit.

The martial spirit is the main feature of this martial spirit continent. There are ten thousand races living on this continent.

Each and every humanoid race individual awakens martial spirit on this continent, except beast and monster races. The martial spirit is divided into infinite types and 10 orders; there are supergrades above 10th order, but they are extremely rare.

One in a million is an 11th-order super martial spirit, and one in a billion is a 12th-order super martial spirit.

Weapon, Beast, and Element Spirit are mainly well-known and most sought-after martial spirits; there are other unknown and unique martial spirits; some are wasteful, some are the best.

Also, some humans can't awaken their martial spirit. Martial spirit ultimately depends on parents spirit and individual talent.

Lin Lee's eyes flickered with interest. 'Martial spirit looks really interesting. I wonder what kind of martial spirit I will awaken. I hope it's something interesting, like a galaxy or universe.'

Then he glanced at Meng Yu's worried face and replied with a smile, "Don't worry, your young master will definitely awaken an awesome martial spirit."

Meng Yu, surprised, then nodded happily, a little relieved in her heart, thinking to herself, 'Young Master always looks very confident.'

After a while, Meng Yu went away, Lin Lee appeared outside his courtyard, looking at three suns in the sky. He also doesn't feel hot; instead, there is a little coolness in the air. 

'This body's previous owner was an idiot, living in such a dangerous world without caution, trusting everyone innocently, and in the end poisoned by the other young master.'

He shook his head, and through his memory, he learned that this body's previous owner was very kind, but his life reached such an end. It's kind of sad.
