"You died."

That was the first thing that I heard when I opened my eyes in this world of pure white.

The second thing that happened was…

"Where are my lackeys? Get rid of this white, it's too bright! I don't care how much money it takes, just get it done!"

There was only silence that followed after I said this.

After a moment of this silence, I finally looked around myself to see what this place was.

It seemed like it was a completely empty space that didn't seem to have a single thing in it.

Well, there was something here other than me.

There was a figure that was made completely out of light that was standing in front of me.

This should have been the person that said something earlier.

After taking another moment to gather my thoughts, I asked, "What do you mean be I've died? Also, where are my lackeys?"

The figure of light just calmly said, "Your name is Lin Fan, the wastrel of the Lin Family, the self proclaimed super prodigal. Your favourite line is 'My parents are skilled at making money, but not spending money. As their son, I naturally have a duty to help them spend their money'."

Hearing this, I just said with a shrug, "It's true, it's my job as a dutiful son to help my parents spend their money."

The figure of light couldn't help shaking its head when it heard this since it had never met someone this shameless before.

But in the end, it still said, "Though you were a wastrel and a prodigal, you were a kind person. Even if you wasted your parents' money, you did it with kind intentions. You helped those that couldn't afford education, you saved animals that were abandoned in the street, and you did many other kind things for others that benefited society."

When the figure of light put it so bluntly, I couldn't help feeling embarrassed.

When I became embarrassed, my first instincts were…

"Where are my lackeys? Come and make this person be quiet!"

The figure of light shook its head again, but it wasn't offended and even gave a chuckle as it said, "In short, you were a person that always put others first even though you called yourself a prodigal. You were a person that was truly kind and well loved, not just by your parents, but by all those that surrounded you."

I was even more embarrassed hearing this and it reached a certain point where I couldn't keep up the tough act anymore.

So I just scratched my ear in an embarrassed manner and said, "Please stop already…"

The figure of light gave another chuckle before saying, "The heavens will reward those that deserve it. Since you showed a level of kindness that reaches a level that is rarely seen, the heavens have decided to reward you for all the kindness that you have shown. You will be reincarnated in another world and you will receive a system that will help you survive in that world."

Now that some time had passed and I was able to calm down, the gravity of the situation slowly sank in.

After a long silence, I slowly said, "I'm really dead, aren't I?"

The figure of light just gave a slow nod in response.

After another silence, I asked, "My parents? How did they take the news?"

The figure of light gave a sigh before saying, "As any parents who love their child would…" There was a pause before it said, "Do you really want to know what happened?"

I slowly shook my head in the end since I could already guess…

It seemed that I really couldn't be filial in this life…no, in my past life…

If there was another chance…I would want to do my best to make it up to my parents.

Seeing the look on my face, the figure of light respectfully remained silent for a bit.

It was only when the expression on my face changed, when it seemed like I had slowly come to terms with all of this that the figure of light finally spoke again.

"The world that you will be reincarnating to is a cultivation world."

My eyes immediately lit up when I heard this.

Cultivation!

Wasn't this the dream of every young man!

Seeing the way that I perked up, the figure of light gave a chuckle before saying, "To help you in this new world, you'll also be receiving a special system. To reward you for the kindness that you've shown in your past life, it was decided that you would receive a system befitting you. You will receive the Super Prodigal System."

"Super Prodigal System!" I said in an excited voice before suddenly saying with a snap of my fingers, "Good! Good! Lackeys, give a reward!"

But of course, there were no lackeys that came forward since I no longer had lackeys.

I couldn't help revealing an awkward look, but I just gave a cough and said, "What can this Super Prodigal System do?"

The figure of light shook its head as it said, "You'll find out when you arrive in your new world. I'm just the one that will send you off."

I didn't mind this as I just gave a nod of acknowledgement before saying, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go, send me to the new world!"

The figure of light didn't do anything and just looked at me to say, "There are a few things that I have to tell you before that happens."

I was surprised to hear this, but I gave a nod and gave my full attention to the figure of light.

The figure of light gave an appreciative nod as it said, "First, you will also receive a special set of guards that will be attached to your Super Prodigal System. When you are in mortal danger, they will come down to save you. That is your reward for running into that burning building to save a child before you died."

I had forgotten about this, but now that the figure of light had brought it up, I couldn't help asking, "What about the child? Did she live?"

The figure of light gave a slight nod as it said, "Don't worry, the child was saved because of you."

I let out a sigh of relief when I heard this before quickly putting on the same look that I had before.

Well, it was embarrassing…

I couldn't really see it since it was a figure of light, but I swear that it seemed to be smiling…

The figure of light continued by saying, "Other than that, I need to give you the memories of your new body."

"Memories?" I said in a surprised voice before following with, "I'm not being reborn as a baby? I'm being put in a new body?"

The figure of light nodded before raising its hand to point at my forehead.

In an instant, there were a bunch of memories that suddenly filled my brain.

When it was all over and I had sorted them out, I couldn't help…swearing.

"Damn! This is my new identity!" I looked up at the figure of light and said, "Is there some kind of mistake here?"

The figure of light didn't answer me as it said, "It's time for you to depart on your new life. I wish you the best of luck."

"Hey! Don't you ignore me!"

Though I said this, it didn't matter since my vision was suddenly turning into light.

This light became stronger and stronger until I couldn't see anything anymore.

When he disappeared from this space, the figure of light gave a sigh and said, "Perhaps this is our only hope."

Then the figure of light disappeared as well.
