The first thing I remember after "dying", was darkness, a big expanse of darkness. Slowly I could see some colours in the far distance, blue, green, red dots - creeping closer and closer. I could not feel anything or see my body, but somehow I could move towards these dots. The closer I went, the faster my speed got and the bigger the dots became, which by now were the size of a meteor. Unafraid of them I kept going till finally the "dots" became even bigger than a planet and I crashed into the blue dot - not knowing where exactly.
The next thing I remember is crying - a lot of crying, mostly coming from me. I remember seeing blurry faces - smiling at me and playing with me. I remember warm milk nourishing my body, while slowly being able to see clearly, though not understanding much. When I finally woke up from this "vivid dream", I looked around believing I had been in a coma for some time, where I saw all this weird stuff. After sitting up in the bed, I looked around and I saw that I was in a big room, sleeping alone in a queen size bed which was very soft. The room was painted blue and had rich looking furniture. Looking down at my body I saw that my arms and legs looked very small. As the sunlight started to seep in from the window on my right, the door of the room opened and a beautiful woman, with blonde hair and green eyes with a bright smile on her face entered.
"Aww, my baby is already up. Good morning sweetheart!", said the woman while coming close and hugging me. I was a bit flustered from getting hugged suddenly by such a beautiful woman, and opened my mouth to say something - when all that I spoke was "Ga Ga Ba". Yup, baby talk. By now I figured that either I am still dreaming or I had died and was born in a different world with my memories intact.
It's been 5 years since I came to this world, yes I figured out it was a new world I had come to post dying after I had been here for the last 4 years after getting my previous memories. In these 5 years, I had understood that I was born to Clara, the first person I saw in this world and Grey Decker, my father who, like me, had black hair and green eyes, with a robust body build. I also had a 2 year old sister - who looked very cute with blonde hair and green eyes like my mom and a chubby face with baby fat. We lived on a pretty big plot of land with manor and multiple servants to help with house work and care. The house was in the central part of the city which was quite crowded - telling me that my new family was quite well off.
The biggest thing I noticed in this world was that though it was similar to Earth in the 1900s, the people here were much stronger, with even a normal servant picking up 100kg easily for transporting. I even saw a person flying over my house when I was 4 years old and was really shocked - only later understanding that it was not a big deal in the new world, a world where cultivation was a reality that I had only read about in my previous world. That was the day I decided I would no longer live a boring life, like the one I had done previously and instead live a fun life, cultivating and working towards a goal to be powerful in this new life.
I had already grasped the language of the world and loved reading different books even in the new world. My parents felt I was a bit mature for my age, but didn't find my ability to learn the language so quickly anything exceptional. I found out later that since the world had Qi, the growth of children's brains and bodies was much faster in this world. Today, on my 5th birthday, I was finally going to start my training at home. Even though I had read a lot of books, I was not allowed to read any of the cultivation books as those were kept in a restricted area and my parents did not want me to read those now.
After waking up, I took a quick bath, and got ready. I went downstairs to the dining room. "Good morning, mom!", I said while giving a light peck on her cheek, as my mom was busy trying to feed Mina, my little sister. "Gud moning bawder", Mina shouted cutely, while my mom replied "Good morning Troy. Come eat quickly. Today you are going to start learning cultivation. How are you feeling?". "Pumped!" I replied while sitting next to Mina to have breakfast and patting her head. Oh ya, I am Troy by the way. After having a quick breakfast with milk I said goodbye to my mom and sister and went to my father's study, where he was waiting for me.
I knocked on the door. "Come in", said Grey. After I entered he asked "How are you feeling? All ready to get started?". "Yes, dad. I have been looking forward to today for quite some time" I replied and sat down in front of him. That was the day I got acquainted with cultivation for the first time in my life.
