"What's going on...am i dead?" Jeffrey was talking half asleep.
"So warm…is this the afterlife?"
"Finally...I will rest." Jeffrey closed his eyes and fell asleep.
It looked like a white ball moving inside an endless void. The ball continued to move in all directions before settling in a certain direction. After a long period of movement, the white ball began to lose its luster little by little until it reached its limit, then it stopped and began to merge with the void.
In one of the densely wooded forests, a young boy woke up slowly and in shock to the sound of sudden laughter, his long black hair intermingling with the dark spaces of the trees around him. His eyes were full of shock and incomprehension. He looked up to see a young man with red hair in front of him. Before he could even understand what was going on, the young man was suddenly kicked in the stomach, causing him to groan in pain.
The boy could not comprehend what was happening, but he remained calm and analyzed the situation very calmly. He began observing the three young men in front of him, then the place he was in, and finally he took a look at the condition of his body and concluded.
"I remember that I was killed with a gun and then the darkness swallowed me up, and now I am in the body of a healthy young man without any disability and three people are beating me. This is not my real body. Have I been reincarnated? I am Jeffrey, alive!!!" The young man's eyes were filled with shock.
Jeffrey did not show any visible expressions and continued to watch the red-haired young man in front of him. The latter saw him and smiled, then continued to kick him.
"Do they consider me a beating doll for fun or what!?" Jeffrey screamed coldly inwardly, fighting the intense pain spreading through his body.
"Oh, look at this weakling trying to hold on!" The young man responded sarcastically, displaying his strength by shooting flames from his hands.
Jeffrey did not respond, but continued to analyze the situation, fully realizing that they belonged to a world he had never known before. A world in which power is clearly divided between the strong and the weak, and there is no mercy for those who stand below it.
"You're just a worthless, incompetent bastard who dares to disobey my orders? Is this how much you want me to kill you~" The two young men burst out laughing after hearing the red-haired one.
"Impotent...no...something is wrong, I can feel it but it is very faint." Jeffrey snorted softly.
The three young men continued to bully and harm him, but the latter did not budge. He began trying to reveal and try to summon his ability little by little.
Jeffrey continued to try to understand the strange feeling he felt when adjusting to his new body, and after a while he finally found the reason behind it.
" I found it!!" Jeffrey's eyes lit up.
Although he had no ability in his previous life, he had an obsession with abilities and how they worked, so he spent a lot of his time researching and asking people with abilities about how they used them, ways to activate them, and how to sense them in the first place, so it was easy for him to apply those methods now.
"Oh, look at the weakling trying to show his toughness!" One of them responded with a provocative smile, but before he could continue speaking, Jeffrey quickly rushed towards him, touched him, then whispered in his ear and walked away.
"How dare you make fun of me!" The young man screamed with extreme anger and wanted to grab Jeffrey, but as soon as he moved, something strange happened. His eyes stopped moving and he fell to the ground dead without the slightest response. He died!
Both of the remaining young men did not understand anything of what was happening. Taking advantage of the shock of the two, Jeffrey rushed towards the red-haired young man who wanted to use his ability. The fire spread in his right arm and he rushed towards Jeffrey, wanting to kill him. Jeffrey easily dodged his attack and muttered a few words, then threw something like... A sharp silver thread passed very quickly. The silver thread was heading directly towards the neck of the red-haired young man, but the latter seemed to be able to narrowly avoid it.
"You bastard! You've been hiding your skills all this time!!!" The red-haired young man shouted nervously and rushed towards Jeffrey.
Moments later, he felt a warm feeling coming down his neck. He saw Jeffrey's smile, then his eyes began to become clouded with mist.
"K-How! I avoided it…" His eyes were filled with hatred before he fell to the ground dead.
Jeffrey looked at him coldly, then looked at the last person who fell to the ground in fear, losing all hope of fleeing. He headed towards Jeffrey and kneeled and begged for his salvation.
"Please don't kill me! I promise I will be helpful and won't try to take revenge!" The young man continued to cry and wail.
Jeffrey looked at him and gave a faint smile.
"If you answer my questions, I will leave you alone. I am not a fan of killing after all."
"H-Okay, I swear I'll only tell the truth!" The young man screamed in extreme fear.
Jeffrey asked dozens of questions and they were answered quickly by the young man who just wanted to survive. After he understood everything, Jeffrey stopped asking.
"Okay, then you can leave," Jeffrey said calmly.
" thank you sir!" The young man quickly got up and started running quickly.
"I'm alive! I'm alive!!!" The young man almost cried from happiness, but suddenly he felt strange after he saw Jeffrey in the distance and also noticed his headless body. He stopped thinking about that moment immediately announcing his death.
"I asked him a lot of sensitive questions. Did he think I would leave him alive? How stupid." Jeffrey laughed sarcastically.
"Let's see then. The name of this body is lee xiang. He is 14 years old. He has no family, relatives, or even friends. He was born in the poor neighborhood and was barely able to survive inside it. After his ability did not appear at the age of ten, everyone began to bully him because of his weakness, which made him impersonal. He has a body. Normal, without any disability, neither weak nor strong. This is perfect for me. No family and no background. Things will become easier because of them."
"This world is completely different from my previous world. I can clearly conclude that it is far stronger than my world because the people of this world train not only their abilities but their bodies as well. By combining physical strength and abilities, a person can reach levels of strength sufficient to divide the heavens and dominate all." ! Jeffrey felt unparalleled excitement.
"Also regarding my ability..." Jeffrey looked at his arm, his eyes filled with a mixture of joy and tension at the same time.
"My ability allows me to create a new rules for anything I touch. I can barely used it and look at how powerful it is, this is terrifying!! If I train and combine my ability with my body, I will become invincible!"
He had a healthy body and ability unlike his previous life, his thoughts now became wilder and stronger, wanting to reach the highest levels!
"I must first get out of this forest. I am currently in the Misty Forest, and the nearest city to it is Cloud Gate. Let's go there first!" Jeffrey took the map on the waist of one of the dead young men and headed towards the exit.
The Misty Forest was so large and extended for hundreds of miles, that if Jeffrey had not had a map of the forest, it would have taken him a few days to get out of it.
After an hour had passed, he was finally able to get out of the forest. It was fast because of Jeffrey's ability, which made moving much easier and faster. He used the air to move lightly, which made him comfortable and fast at the same time.
Jeffrey waited for a few minutes, waiting for passers-by to take him to the city of Cloud Gate. Fortunately for him, he spotted a merchant convoy passing from the same place and rode with them. Unexpectedly, he was warmly welcomed.
After asking a few merchants about the Cloud Gate City, it turned out that it was an extremely big city, by the standards of his previous world. It was about six times the size of Tokyo or seven times the size of New York, which made him extremely shocked. The city was controlled by three main sects, which were considered the oldest and most powerful, the competition with the three ended with each one ruled over a part of the city, the Royal Fire Clan, which was famous for the efficiency and strength of its young talents and attracted only those with fire abilities, the Iron Fist Clan, which produced thousands of great fighters and only attracted those with all kinds of enhancement abilities, and finally the Curved Moon Clan. Which was considered the strongest among them for two simple reasons: first, because it possessed a fighter from the peak of the Fifth Heaven, which is considered a complete army on its own, and second, because it did not have conditions in terms of recruitment, which made most novice fighters go to it to try their chances by testing, once they were accepted into one of these three clans, it can be said. The trainee's future is guaranteed.
"This means that my next goal is to enter the Curved Moon Clan. The entrance exam will be in three months. Considering looking for a job and training at the same time, as well as at least breaking through to the First Heaven, maybe I will have a chance to enter," Jeffrey muttered inwardly.
Jeffrey was not conceited with himself. After seeing and understanding the power system of this world, he was certain that the trainees should not be underestimated. Even if he killed three young men with abilities, he did not defeat them by force, but rather exploited their weaknesses to achieve victory, not to mention that they were weak. The difference between them and Candidates for the test are like the difference between heaven and earth.
After two hours, the caravan finally arrived at Cloud Gate City, and he felt a beautiful feeling after seeing it. It consisted of streets sparkling with misty lights like clouds, giving it a unique and mysterious atmosphere that attracted visitors from far and wide. Countless shops filled with merchants and trade caravans spread throughout it.
Jeffrey continued to meditate and noticed that most of the residents of this place have supernatural abilities. Some of them have the ability to fly, while others can carry enormous weights with ease, and there are those who can amplify their voice to unprecedented levels.
Residents gathered in the fog markets, which are among the largest and busiest markets in the city, where colors, sounds and smells intersect to form a soothing sight for the eye. Jeffrey saw strange products that he had never seen before, fruits, vegetables, and equipment that was the first time he had seen them.
What made him even more curious was the strange technology of the place. Although it is not as highly advanced as the modern era, it has unique technologies that give it a magical feel. Ovens that do not require electricity, lights that are not connected to anything, and equipment that emits strange auras. Jeffrey could not Nothing but praise.
This place was within the curved Moon Clan's province, so Jeffrey decided to stay close to the place and look for work so that he could make ends meet for now.
"Three months is not a long time, I need to hurry," Jeffrey sighed.
After searching for a few days, he finally found a good place to work. After the employer, called Gora, saw him, he brought him to work. The work consisted of making and repairing dolls, whether wooden or iron. Jeffrey did not hesitate, and in just one week he was able to understand all the basics, and even surpassed most of the workers. There is something that made the owner happy with his choice.
Time passed quickly and there was only one week left until the start of the curved Moon Clan's entrance exam, so Jeffrey finally decided to go into seclusion for a few days to break through to the First Heaven!
