Staring intently at his pale palms, calmly accessing the situation with a deep thoughtful look, Andrew suddenly raised up his head, glancing at his completely razed surroundings and charred ground.
"Hmmm,so I was reincarnated..."Andrew soliloquized.
Few minutes ago he had been engaged in a battle, playing a popular online game back on earth, Free fire to be exact. Challenged by a newbie player over the fact that it wasn't about emblems. Annoyed, being a pro with 39 emblems himself, he was keen on mercilessly dealing with the newbie, 1v8 against his fellow bots. Sadly in the heated moment, his phone plunged, suddenly exploded, spilling horrid acids on his face. Following that, with painful rage and extreme frustration,he grabbed the wires and drew it apart, meeting his doom the next instant. As the already charred wire revealed its naked form. An accidental death.
"... Which means I died."
Dusting dust off his palm, Andrew sighed. For unknown reasons he felt no shock from his current situation…
Trying to stand up, Andrew suddenly gripped his head tight with both hands, falling on his knees the next instant as his previous nonchalant expression vanished, turning to that of extreme horror.
"Ahhhhhhhh!!!!" Andrew screamed, feeling his empty lungs burn and his eyes bulged to their limits, turning viciously red as he tried to endure the pain… but unfortunately everything instantly faded, completely black,But not extinguishing the sharp pain he felt within his soul.
Surreal, yet brilliantly flashing balls of light in different colors , flew through the empty black space.
Unable to grasp what was happening, Andrew could only feel that his inner being was cruelly being ripped apart,over and over again, giving him no chance to scream.
But suddenly, everything calmed,the flashing balls of light were no more, only still darkness,blank and devoid.
10 minutes later…
"Huh? Fuck! That was horrifying." Andrew said, resting his head on his palm as he felt the burning headache recede.
"Huh?!" grunting,
" Memories?" Andrew muttered,at first confused,then puzzled, before a sudden look of realization bloomed on his face.
"Oh, I reincarnated. And this memories… they weren't there before. Was it why I went through such hellish pain?" Andrew said, inhaling a throatful of breath with a thoughtful look on his face while a glint flashed pass his eyes.
" I should try sorting out the memories first." rubbing his beardless chin, Andrew muttered.
20 minutes later…
"Wow." Feeling the rush of adrenaline flowing through his body at a particular discovery, Andrew grinned.
According to the memories of his predecessor, Andrew, also Zhu Yike,an emperor from an eastern fantasy cultivation world,who met his dimiss at the hands of his beloved wife while almost reaching the peak strength of Ten thousand worlds. Transmigrated into Ascending Continent world,reborn as the third prince of Isvan Kingdom ,he had dedicated 16 years of his life into secretly cultivating to try attaining his peak form, or at least break through the fetters of this world, using the many soul treasures that transmigrated with him, and the unprecedented talent of his new body.
Having not a single shred of feelings for his new family, "he ignored them", focusing on his sole goal, determined to have his revenge on the vile woman that murdered him.
To cut the story short, without pause Andrew,also Zhu Yike, reached the peak of Ascending Continent within sixteen years.
Satisfied he decided to immediately commence to break through the continental chains,as it turned out, Ascending Continent just as the name implied was a continent and not a world. Still everything should have went well with the experience and strength he had…but unfortunately a mistake happened,the very problem he had failed to realize since transmigrating into this world, the laws were different.
Faced with immeasurable number of lightning thunders , well above the strength his current body could wield,he perished.
Luckily Andrew just happened to die at that same moment,with unknown circumstances his soul was transmigrated into this world, taking over a transmigrator's body.
Summarizing all that had happened, Andrew gazed at the large, wide expanse of destroyed land atop the mountain, imagining the devastating might that shredded the whole peak.
"Huh? Talking about mountains,where the fuck I'm I ?" with a look of realization blooming on his face, Andrew stiffly turned around, feeling the chill morning breeze above his skin as the sun rised from the east, forming nebulas of cloud from afar.
"Just where the fuck am I? And how the hell I'm i supposed to get down from here." Andrew screamed with horror, cursing out loud as he suddenly knelt on the ground to support his frail body.
" Damn,you should have at least left a lit bit of cultivation before perishing, you bastard Zhu!" Screaming outloud to the sky, Andrew cursed, hating his damned luck.
It turned out, after attaining the peak of the continent in 16years, his whole cultivation base had been lost in 1 night as a result of failing to overcome the tribulation.
Currently his body had none of the acclaimed strength to turn mountains, talkless of pulling a carriage.
"Damn,is this how I'm going to die here?"Andrew said as he thought of how many days he was going to last without food, something not even his gaming life could hinder him from back on earth.
"Just how torturous is this going to end…"
" Ehn?" Just when Andrew thought that all hope was lost,and that he would simply jump off the mountain if the hunger got too much for him to endure,a painless death than turning into a vengeful ghost.
"That survived?" feeling his heart thumb in exhilaration,his eye widening as it settled upon the dimly lit purple glowing orb, wrecked as it barely hanged on,yet to Andrew it was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen.
"Teleportation. !" Andrew exclaimed.
Feeling it was stressful to fly up to the peak everyday,his predecessor had set up a teleportation array. But having seen the might of the devastating lightning, Andrew didn't even have the slightest thought that it survived,even if it wasn't facing the lightning directly, everything on the peak and been, shattered to bits and washed in a ocean of lightning.
Getting on his feets, like a salivating dog that finally found a piece of bone. Andrew scurried towards the portal.
"The heavens are on my side." Almost leaping joyously but realized how feeble he was, Andrew quickly rested his arms on both knees for support.
"Damn,at this rate I'm going to faint,if not dead."
"Right, how does this actually work though…" but just when Andrew said these words,as he tried to visualize his memories, arrays of light suddenly bloomed under his feets.
" Huh?" Yet to realize what was going on, Andrew suddenly felt his vision spiraling with pitch darkness,as his senses became numb.
"Fuck!"
…
30 minutes…
" Huh?" sensing his limbs a rejuvenating feeling suddenly rushed through him, as he inhaled deeply.
Suppressing the aching pain of his battered body. Releasing a grunt, he squinted his eyes, trying to subconsciously grasp his surrounding.
"Mmmm" exhaling, Andrew's eyes suddenly widened.
Surprisingly, the suffocating pressure he previously felt was no more,the air now felt different, like a healing medicine,it relieved the aching pain in his body.
"World Energy? Qi?" Andrew said as a bunch of information suddenly flowed from his memories.
Fundamental of cultivation, a supreme version of oxygen used on earth, World energy, flowing everywhere,it was present for all living beings to absorb and increase their strength to insane limits,such as commanding calamity itself. But of course, it was only based on one's talent. Those gifted A class talent for example,their limit would be much more higher than someone with a D class talent.
Feeling the series of information flow into his head, Andrew calmed down, accessing his body with a thoughtful look,but suddenly…
"Ahhh!." Andrew let out an elicited moan,a swelling feeling enveloped his whole body,and like a rushing tide,it exploded, transferring a rejuvenating and relaxed sensation .
"What the…?!" Andrew said wanting to curse outloud for how he had moaned like a girl, before suddenly pausing, noticing the swirls of air around him.
Feeling the strange force in his body, Andrew's eyes glinted joyously, as squeezed his fist.
"This feeling…" Andrew said.
"... there is now way I'm mistaken. Did I just recover some of my strength? cultivation base? a breakthrough?" trying to find a conclusion,his eyes settled on the shattered ball that was used to set up the teleportation arrays.
Pausing…
" Well, at least I survived." Andrew said, holding back the joyous feeling in his heart for escaping death.
"I should be in the palace now then…" suddenly the instant he said these words, Andrew's calm facade as he tried to analyze the situation vanished, turning heels he began to run, dashing through the familiar paths in his tattered clothes.
"Damn it, If that's true then…" brushing off these thoughts , Andrew accelerated his pace .
'Fuck you,Zhu Yike!'
