"Where am I?" Jiao Long woke up to a throbbing in his head, and he was also confused. Then suddenly a rush of memory flooded his mind that was obviously not his; it was so painful he had to hold his head.
The pictures in his mind kept getting clearer, and he sat there like someone watching a movie. He said,
"So I reincarnated,"
unsure of how to react to the knowledge racing through his mind. He last recalls going to school when a flowerpot accidentally fell on his head, causing him to pass away instantly. He finds it hard to accept that he passed away, yet it did not come as a surprise because he was somewhat anticipating that his misfortune will eventually cause him to pass away.
His mother passed away during childbirth, and three months later, his father followed, taking him to the hospital for prenatal care. He was then brought to an orphanage home, where he was adopted three years later. Two years after his adoption, his new parents perished in a plane crash, so he returned to the orphanage home. Another couple adopted him when he was seven years old.
Prior to the adoption, they were doing well, but two years after adopting him, their business started having problems and eventually went bankrupt. The family barely managed to make ends meet by opening a little restaurant in front of their front house, and thankfully, nothing happened to it other than the odd lack of patrons.
Jiao Long was a decent boy who dislikes causing stress to others, but his poor luck makes his life difficult. He falls and bangs his head about four times a day, and no matter how hard he tries to avoid it, he keeps getting robbed or having his daily allowance taken away every two weeks. He will always wonder how he was accepted to Peiking University in Beijing, China, as he anticipated that his bad luck would surface during the admissions process, but everything passed without a hitch. His poor luck at school persisted, and he would be late to class for various reasons if he hadn't misplaced his exam script. He is not shocked that a flower pot killed him because he is also weary of life.
He decided to look over the memories that had been pushed into his head. "Ahhhh, I can't believe I was reincarnated. Perhaps my bad luck streak will end in this life. Being reincarnated should be good luck in itself, right?" he whispered to himself. He made the decision to go through the recollections that had been pushed into his head. He quickly went through it and discovered that the deceased Jiao Long was an orphan like him and was raised by a middle-aged man named Uncle White. They lived in a hut in the middle of nowhere because the deceased Jiao Long's memories began there; the hut was surrounded by forest, and he has never walked out of it till his death. Uncle White informed him that he did not know who his parents were.
"Wow, wow, I can't believe I got reincarnated into the body of someone that just happens to have the same name as me." From the memory he learned that Uncle White picked him up at the heart of the forest (Beast Mountain Forest), he had pity on him, and he decided to raise him.
He learned from the memory that this place is called the West Wild Country, which is divided into three territories, which are the base territory, the Beihai territory, and the Liuzhou territory. The Liuzhou territory has three countries, which are the Yan country, the Chu country, and the Xin country. And he also found out from the memories that their place of residence is situated in the Yan country.
