In a typical American house, an elderly man drew his final breaths as he looked upon his family - two daughters, their spouses and his grandchildren.
"Are you going to die, Grandpa John?" said his grandson. John gave a dry laugh to that question while his children look upon him with a sad smile.
"As told by a great wizard – to the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure". John wheezed at his grandchildren lovingly.
In his early eighties, John was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer and only had 6 months to live. He was not a fan of dying in a hospital bed, so he denied any treatments and wished to spend his remaining time in his house surrounded by his daughters and grand kids.
He coughed violently for few moments. Feeling his life coming to an end, he asked to be left alone in his room. John did not want his loved ones to see him while he passed away. Watching his daughters take his grandchildren with a sad smile, he recalled his long life.
John was an engineer who worked for a multi-national company for close to 60 years. He met his late wife in his mid twenties and married her a few years after meeting her. After two children and 50 years of marriage, he lost his wife in a car accident.
Luckily for John, his two daughters decided to live close to where he lived. So, he got to spend his retired life babysitting his grandchildren by reading them his favorite novels.
Looking back at his life, John realized that he lived like any average person – grow up, get a degree, then a job. He was a late bloomer. His wife was his first romantic relationship and was luckily his last one as well. Although, his wife had a long-term relationship before him which did not work out luckily for him. They were loyal and loving to each other.
However, John regretted that his sex life was vanilla. They used to have sex everyday for the first few years of dating and it slowly fizzled out after having children. Busy with their work life and children, both of them did not bother to bring back the spark.
A closet pervert, John was scared to discuss his fantasies with his wife. He recalled his first time he ever saw a woman naked in real life. He was 17 at the time when he was playing basketball in the backyard of his house when he accidentally threw it to his neighbors house over the fence. His neighbors were difficult people who just need an excuse to start a fight with anyone. They thrive on the little entertainment they get in their otherwise difficult lives, he thought.
So, John silently climbed over their fence to get his ball when he came upon the sound of some woman moaning in shower through what he thought was a bathroom window. He thought of his attractive neighbor in her forties and her daughter in her late teens. Excited by the thought of either of them, he looked around and realized that the window was in an enclosed area and no one can notice him peeking.
John slowly crawled over to the window and looked over to the daughter masturbating with a dildo. He did not know her name, but he was mesmerized by the sight that greeted him. She had what he realized were a great set of D-cup boobs which topped of with pink ghost nipples and a slim waist and a landing strip which led to a most delicious looking pink pussy.
He lowered his jeans and started masturbating to the live porn that he saw. Starting that day, he climbed over the fence and peeked through the bathroom window whenever he got the chance. Luckily, John discovered the milf showering and occasionally masturbating as well. And so he spent most of his teenage life, masturbating to a milf and her daughter.
After a few years, they sold their house and an old couple moved in. He was disappointed and started watching porn and reading erotica instead of actually dating a girl. That changed when he graduated and got a job. He went on a few dates but nothing seemed to work out until he met his late wife. Regardless of how wonderful his comfort level is with his wife, John did not dare to reveal his fantasies in fear of losing his wife. He realized the only regret he had.
'Well, at least I lived a better life in comparison to most individuals on the planet' John thought and closed his eyes.

In the vast cultivation world of Altheria, there exists an inconspicuous peninsular empire of Numidia. On the south, Numidia projects into and is bounded by the great Numidian Ocean and its northern frontiers are defined by the dangerous mountain ranges known as Morea. Few have traversed across these mountain ranges as they are home to extremely dangerous magical beasts and it is not easy to travel across the ocean as well even for the powerful cultivators. That is not to say that there are no visitors from abroad. Only the cultivators with high enough cultivation can afford to cross the ocean and visit this empire. Thus, the empire of Numidia has been self-sufficient and under the peaceful rule of the Numidian dynasty for the past 100,000 years.
The cultivation world in Altheria consists of many empires and a few sects that rule over pockets of land. While the dominions of various sects are exclusive to the cultivators, empires consists of mortals as well as cultivators. The Numidian empire is neither the strongest nor the weakest of the empires in Altheria.
There are three major cities of the Numidian empire along with the royal capital, Siga. All of them are located on the coasts of the peninsula and house the majority of the empire's population. Siga is a beautiful coastal city in the southern tip of the empire. It is the most populous as well as the most prosperous city of the empire.
Most of the populace cultivate to some extent depending on their talent. Royals are supposed to be the most talented in the empire followed by various nobles. There were several outliers occasionally throughout the long history of the empire. However, most of them remained notable and distinct individuals as opposed to rebels who did not fare well against the forces of the empire.
The cultivation realms of this world are – Qi accumulation, Foundation establishment, Golden core and Nascent soul. Each of these realms are subdivided into 9 stages. Cultivators beyond the Nascent soul are said to be found only in the strongest of the empires and sects and any knowledge regarding them is sparse.
---------------------------
In a brothel in the capital city Siga, a prostitute is having a difficult time while delivering a baby. An extremely beautiful girl in her late teens is seen to be supporting her companion who is in labor.
"You can do it, Betty. Just push it like you're taking a big shit" said Olivia. Betty looked at Olivia in exasperation. However, she realized that it's not Olivia's fault as neither of them know what they're doing.
Betty is only a few years older than Olivia. They are both born in the brothel and have been playmates since they were little. Neither the establishment nor the other women seem to care much about either of them until they blossomed to be two beautiful women. Betty's poor mother was a prostitute who was killed by her customer for not performing a rim job to his satisfaction while Olivia's mother died during childbirth.
Betty was groomed into prostitution as soon as she was old enough. She has been protecting Olivia whom she came to see as her little sister. However, she knew that she cannot stop the establishment from forcing Olivia into prostitution much longer. She was much more beautiful than her.
After a prolonged labor, Betty delivered a beautiful baby boy. "Wow, he is such a cutie" said Olivia. However, she realized that Betty was growing weak by the second. Olivia got up to ask for someone's help, but Betty stopped her. She realized that something has gone terribly wrong and she would not live. Betty was a mortal who had no talent for cultivation while Olivia is blessed in that regard as she is at 7th stage of Qi accumulation.
"I want to name him Cassian. I probably won't live for long. Olivia, I know they won't let you, but escape from this place. They will force you into prostitution like they did with me and our mothers. They will sell him off in the black market as he is a boy. Please take him with you and leave this place. This will be the last time we see each other Olivia. Please raise him well, will you?" said Betty with tears in her eyes.
Olivia understood the situation as both of them had dreams of escaping this place for a long time. They used to make up escape scenarios since when they were little. "Don't worry. I will raise him as my own son. Farewell Betty"
Thus, John was reincarnated as Cassian to a whore in a whorehouse.
