After ending my second life, I was sent into another isekai world and start third life.
That world seemed like it was taken straight out of a Chinese martial arts novel.
I was born as the son of the greatest martial arts master and ruler of that world, but unfortunately, my mother passed away due to complications while giving birth to me.
My father's house was a magnificent nine-story wooden building with chinese tiled roofs layered on top of each other, located halfway up a mountain. It included a martial arts training ground, a library museum filled with ancient martial arts artifacts and books, a reception room adorned with various jade and gemstones for entertaining distinguished guests,
a banquet hall where the finest beauties showcased various artistic performances every day, a garden filled with an array of splendid flowers and herbs ready to be used by physicians at any time,
and even a large artificial pond at the mountain peak, equipped with giant windmills and waterwheels that powered an artificial waterfall.
Every meal served at the dining table included more than 50 kinds of luxurious dishes, such as soups with thousand-year-old ginseng, bear bile, bird's nest, and shark fin. There were no utensils made from anything other than gold or jade.
Additionally, hundreds of attendants with exceptional martial arts skills constantly monitored and protected me.
Every day was a repetition of such a life... I remember feeling quite frustrated because I couldn't roam freely outside. Although my residence was hundreds of times larger than a typical modern American mansion,
I felt an overwhelming sense of boredom as I lived a clockwork-like life, being watched by attendants 24/7.
Whenever I felt too bored, I would use the clockwork skills I had honed in my previous life to create small clockwork toys or useful tools for the attendants.
(Toys like fidget spinners, portable water clocks that worked accurately to the minute, mops that released water without needing to be dipped into a bucket, etc. Given the technological resources available in ancient China, that was the limit of what I could make.)
Compared to the things I had created in my previous life, these were like child's play, but word got out after a while, and I began to be revered as a genius of the century by the members of my father's clan.
Throughout my life, I rarely saw my father's face. He always tried to maintain a dignified and authoritative demeanor, which he seldom showed to anyone.
The head attendant's name was Bai Meili (白美麗), which means pure and beautiful like white light. She looked exactly like her name, though her small chest and hips were somewhat disappointing...
Despite her beautiful appearance and relatively slender figure, she was the strongest among the attendants. Interestingly, in this world, there was a concept called "internal energy," so muscle mass did not seem to directly translate to actual strength and combat ability...
Back then, she and I were the closest of friends. In the absence of my father and mother, she took care of me like a parent.
BUT, There was an drama when I was about 13 years old and starting to hit puberty.
Given the environment, which restricted the import of anything obscene or distracting from training, I had nothing to satisfy my desires on my own.
So, during my free time after nightly training sessions, I used the weeb hentai data that I had accumulated over 20 years with wasting my life back in Korea to create R18-rated self-made novels, comics, and figures.
"Alright, with this amount, I can use it alone for the next 20 years... Haha! Although creating these to use naughty purpose makes me feel like I'm having a relationship with my own offspring, which is quite cringe and depressing... but I have no other choice!"
As I was celebrating the completion of my personal hentai harem world... the back door suddenly opened...
"Master, I apologize for the intrusion, but I heard your loud voice from your room and came to check. For the sake of your martial arts training tomorrow, you must keep to your sleep schedule... Oh! What are these?!"
"Ah... this... well... shit...!"
Panicking, I hastily tried to hide the items, but ended up spilling the hentai figures arranged on the bed.
Meili picked up one of the figures I had made and said,
"(Blushing) Is this... supposed to be me? And in such a... provocative way... and I don't have such a chest and hips..."
"Meili, this is, well... art! I imagined you dancing under neon lights..."
"(With a confused expression) Neon... lights, you say? What are those?"
"Ah, that's... um... like lanterns! Very bright lanterns."
Bai Meili murmured this as she looked at the figurine, which exaggerated her hips and chest.
"The kind of art performed only by Jester.. and so provocatively at that..."
....
For a moment, we just exchanged glances between the various hentai figures and painted magazines scattered on the floor.
Then, with a fierce glare and hands on her hips, Meili finally spoke, clearly displeased.
"Absolutely unacceptable. And you are only 13 years old.
If you are already indulging in such debauchery, I fear you may become a tyrant. I will see to it that everything is burned and disposed of."
"Ugh.. No!! Please, not that!! Do you know how hard I worked every night to make all of this?!"
"Hmph. If you had gotten enough sleep during that time, you would have accumulated much more internal energy by now. For the sake of your future, I will take firm action on this!"
"Please, Mi-ryeo!! If you do that, I'll die!!"
"No amount of begging will help!"
And so, the content I had spent over a year creating became good firewood for the home stove...
When I reached the age of 23, the martial arts clans, who harbored resentment against my father's dictatorship, united to stage a rebellion.
They massacred my father and everyone associated with our family. Thanks to Meili, I barely managed to escape from our residence.
Anyway, more reflections can be saved for later... The important thing is that in this life, I learned how to use various internal energy techniques and martial arts skills.
