I was reincarnated?

Why is it so dark?

And why does my body feel so heavy?

I slowly woke up to find that I was in a small bed.

The bed's condition is bad and it could break anything.

Am I?

Am I living in the slumps?

But wait, that's not important.

I slowly observe my sorrounding and rushed into a bathroom.

Huh?

Why do I look so young?

What the?

" Haenami, please come downstairs! It's time to eat. "

" Yes, I will. "

Haenami? Who's that? Is that the name of this body?

But I couldn't feel a single ounce of mana on this guy!

What the hell? God, why?

As I sulked in the corner of the bathroom after knowing that I got a weak body.

After that, I goes downstairs to see a happy family waiting for me.

" Oh! Son, come sit here. " I was greeted by a man who's body was good enough for a knight but more importantly his words seems to be warm.

This body must really love this family if so.

" Haenami? What's wrong? " A lady who's holding a plate looked at me confused.

She seems to be the mother and it's safe to say that she's very pretty.

Another one approached me and tucked herself on my arms.

" Brother, brother, will you play with Yeon today? "

What's going on?

Did I kill someone in order to get this body, how can I steal such a happy family on someone!

Had the god forsaken me?

I sat beside Yeon and starts to eat.

It was a typical dish, a rice balls and an egg.

Am I really in a slump? I kept on asking myself.

As I gulped down a glass of water, I noticed Yeon to be looking at me.

" Brother, why are you so cheerful today? "

I looked at her with confusion and looked at my family.

They seems to be confused as well.

But don't ask me! I am just confused as you!

Damn, looks like I have to do it the old fashioned way.

" I-i well you see. I think it's about time I got out and change! Don't you think so? " I laughed awkwardly as slowly puts down the glass.

The mother laughed at me and so is the dad.

" It looks like your big brother finally decides to be productive! "

" Isn't that a good news, Honey? "

After hearing those words, I couldn't seems to hide my embarrasment as I hid my face by looking down.

Haenami! Just what kind of ungrateful brat are you!

I stood up and left table after eating.

I looked back before heading into my room to see how happy they were.

I smiled.

" I guess, this isn't bad after all. "

Once I entered my room, I locked the door and quickly rushed on the bed.

When I sat on it, I heard a crack that sends a shiver into my spine.

" This bed is so old now, maybe I should ask them to replace it soon. " I then closed my eyes and started to meditate.

I manage to go to the mana creation easily thanks to my memory in the past, the secret to unlocking one's mana is by forcing it in the center to create a Dantian.

Three major parts of unlocking the energy inside you go to the stomach, chest, and mind.

If you successfully link all of them, you will be rewarded with a Lower Dantian.

Despite its name being lower, you can solidify your bones and skin with this. Plus you can now perform basic elements thanks to this.

Another improvement is your physical limitations.

It removes that boundary and provides you with a well-worth result.

Basically, cultivation was passed by Tai Xuen Family.

I read this book while I was still on the tower in the labyrinth.

Once I mastered the lower dan tian, I decided to get out and have a drink when I saw her sitting on the table while peeling onions.

Despite her feminine appearance, I could see how hard they had suffered by just looking at her hands alone.

Full of bandages and it's very rough.

I sat next to her and grabs the knife and an onion.

" Please be at ease. "

" Mom. " I felt my voice shaking as I look at her.

She smiled at me and that was the first time I saw how much pain they were enduring for us.

" You don't have to, Haenami. If you want to help, you can find your father at the inn nearby. "

" He got a new job as lumber, you can be at post. "

I smiled back at her and nodded.

I go out to see the greeny field that's full of lambs from afar, a lot of animals seem to gather at this place.

I looked at the house as I was walking away and see how old it was, the exterior is filled with vines and moss at the bottom.

One thing is clear.

I want to help them.

I arrived at the inn and saw an elder outside, he holding a cane and there were some teens bullying him.

They were throwing tomatoes at him while having fun.

One of them is a large guy who's smoking casually with them.

The people outside couldn't help but look away as they were scared of the man that's guarding the kids.

I know that I have to step in.

I walked into the middle and looked at the old man.

He seems to be bothered by it but he couldn't dare to speak up.

It was too hard to watch, he was smiling as the tomato lands on the top of his head and slowly falls on his cheeks.

" Aren't you bothered by them, mister? " I grabbed the tomato on his face and throws it away.

" Young man, please go. I don't want you to get hurt just because of me. "

" This happens every day. "

" Warren is the name of their leader. He's also the son of a wealthy family, so please avoid fighting them. "

He slowly nods at me and I could feel my heart shattering as I saw him lowering his head.

A tomato flies down in our direction and hits my head.

The teens started laughing and so is Warren.

" Look at this fool, does he want to get soaked too? " He laughed as the tomato flew back and hits his face.

Everyone was shocked by it and so is the old man.

But I couldn't hold back any longer.

It's too much.

Way too much.

" This fucker. " Warren grabs the tomato on his face and crushed it with his hand.

He then stood up and throws his cigarette away.

" You really are asking for a beating, huh? " He started to knuckle his fist as he looked at me.

" Boss, let us handle this guy. " one of them starts running towards us.

He then swings his fist at me.

It was very slow.

I could see it pass through me as I shifted my body sideways and pushed him.

He was pushed onto the ground and started crying.

I looked at Warren who seems to be pissed because of it shoved the others away and ran towards me.

He swings up his fist as I duck down to dodge his strike, by focusing on my target.

I then pretend to punch his stomach.

" Not a chance! " He smirked as he cover his stomach, caught off guard by a kick on nuts.

He looked at the sky while groaning in pain and then passed out.

I looked at the old man who seems to be glad about it.

Everyone started to cheer when Warren was down.

" Yo, this kid is the real deal. "

" Standing up to Warren? Incredible. "

The old man stands up and approached me with his crane.

" Thank you, young man. When the time comes, please approach me. " He then disappeared when everyone starts to approach me and raising me in the air.

When the time comes? What does that mean?

I tried to find him in the crowd but he was gone before I knew it.

I then head into the lumber's inn and found him smashing wood outside.

" Hey, uhm are you free? " He looked at me and grinned.

" Son, so you finally decide to go out? That's nice. " He raised up his ax and turn his way to me.

" Does this job pays well? "

" It does, we can solve our food problems for two weeks with one-week labor. "

" Here, give it a try. " He casually throws the ax at me causing me to panic.

I breathed slowly and grabbed the end of it surprised him, but because of its weight it struck down on the ground and I fall with it.

He laughed.

" You gotta work on your muscles, No girl would like you if you're not bulky enough. "

What he says makes sense, but not on the girl's part. Acquiring the Middle Dantian requires a strong physique.

Because it resonates well and not to forget that it greatly boosts one's physical abilities and magic.

" Here, I'll show you a skill that might help you in the future. "

" You might not get it at first but you'll do if you practice hard enough. " His skill covers up for his boastful attitude as his palm suddenly lit up by covering it with mana.

He then gets a plank of wood and placed it in a cut trunk.

" Focus your mana in your palm, once you grab enough energy. Imagine that you're cutting something using a knife but instead, you're using your hand. " He started to demonstrate by lowering his body which is a crouch.

Once done, he raised his hand and sliced the wood downward.

The wood was split in half.

He looked at me while smirking.

I then nod at him and nervously raise the ax over my head while shaking.

" Cute, but listen, son. Your form is very wrong! You can't break it like tha- "

" Huh? "

Haenami used up his mana to coat the ax and his fist and slams it downward completely breaking the ax, wood, and trunk.

He was frozen in place after seeing such a sight.

" You. "

" How did you do that? "
