Reincarnation

' It's dark, is this how death feels like ..' thought a motionless body.

The motionless body appeared to be of a young boy in his late teens, wearing ragged ancient Chinese traditional clothes.

' Huh! how can I feel my body..' the boy wondered as he regained his consciousness.

' And what is this smell, it feels like wet soil..'

The boy was thinking this and that.. then he tried to move his body...and he could do it.

' Wait! I can move...' he was shocked.

" Mhmm" with a light groan, he slowly open his eyes..

"I am not dead!"

" But how is that possible.. the bullet was clearly hit my heart.." he mumbled in confusion.

" Wait! what is this place... how am I here?" he looked at his surroundings with astonishment.

It was a dark, rocky cave that surrounded him. Dim light that filtered through the holes in the walls was faint and shadowy, casting an eerie glow over the rocky terrain.

Slowly nervousness crept in his heart.

" Calm down! calm down,, no need to panic... ha ha.." he muttered while his body was stiff.

He looked the surrounding but couldn't figure out anything..

Finally with a defeated sigh he sat on the ground.

* Drip.. drip

Sounds of water dripping suddenly entered his ears.

Turning his head towards the sound Wang Tian saw a small pond not far from him.

Looking at the pond he suddenly had a dangerous feeling. It was a fleeting, almost subconscious thought, but it lingered in his mind like a dark and unsettling presence.

He approached the pond step by step..

As he drew closer to the pond, the sound of dripping water grew louder, filling the air with a rhythmic, soothing noise. Wang Tian took a deep breath and tried to calm his racing thoughts.

*Thump * Thump

His heart was beating fast.

When he looked at he pond's surface, he was dumbfounded. Not even in his wildest dream he thought it would be true.

" Aah.." a shocked cry left from his mouth.

" This...this is not me.." his body trembled as he saw an unfamiliar young face.

It was a face of handsome young man with dark hair and dark purple eyes.

He stared at his reflection in disbelief, his mind racing as he tried to make sense of what he was seeing.

" Kugh.."

At this moment a sudden pain ran through his brain making him knelt on the ground.

" Cough... cough"

His breath became heavy and throat became dry.

Unfamiliar memories began to pour in his mind.

He had no idea how long the pain lasted, but it felt like an eternity. His body was covered in sweat and dirt, and his throat was dry and parched. He wanted nothing more than to curl up into a ball and escape from the pain.

" Huff huff.."

His full body covered with dirt and sweat.

It took sometime to regain his composure. Only then he focused the new memories he received.

As he focused on his new memories he learned about his new life. He discovered that his name was also Wang Tian, and that he had been adopted by the village chef of the Hua village when he was just five years old. His origins were unknown, and all he knew was that he had been found unconscious near the village

A few days ago, large group of unknown people attacked the village and massacred all the villagers. His father, the village chief barely bought some time for him leave only to die shortly after.

The unknown people didn't chase him as he was but a weak boy.

" Huh tears.." He touched his face and realized that he was crying. He tried to wipe them away, but more just kept coming.

He stood there for a while, letting the tears flow until they eventually slowed and stopped.

He had run for days, his only thought being to escape the massacre and find someplace to hide. And when he had finally stumbled upon this cave, he had collapsed from exhaustion, barely able to hold on to consciousness.

The emotions that washed over him were intense and confusing. He felt sadness for the loss of his adoptive father and the village that had become his home. He felt rage at the unknown attackers who had brutally murdered so many innocent people. And he felt hatred for the weakness that had left him unable to do anything to stop it.

But at the same time, he felt nothing. It was as if his emotions had been stripped away, leaving him with nothing but a hollow emptiness. He didn't know how to process what had happened, or how to move forward from it.

All he could do was try to survive and make the most of this new life that had been given to him.

After unknown period time later, he finally calmed himself..

As Wang Tian sorted through his new memories, he noted two important pieces of information. The first was that this mountain range was called Kunlun mountain, and it was located in the west of China. The second was that the village he had called home was like something out of ancient times, with his clothes being proof of that.

Wang Tian sat in the dark cave, trying to come to terms with his new life, he suddenly remembered the strange voice he had heard before he died.

"I thought that was just my random imagination," he muttered to himself, still trying to wrap his head around what had just happened

"Does that mean the system is real too?" Wang Tian mumbled to himself.

As he muttered that, a strange familiar sound echoed in his head.

[ Dimensional system activated...]

" Yes,, it is this sound that I heard before I died...I remember it clearly.. " he exclaimed.

[ Yes the host is dead in host's previous world.. and reincarnated ..]

" Previous world.. is this not earth?" Wang Tian said. He had some doubt when he learnt that he really reincarnated.

[ This is earth but not the Earth where host used to live.. as here spiritual qi present ]

[ Due to the reincarnation process host's soul was dormant and now finally awaken due to sudden emotional instability..]

" Hah.. " Wang Tian released an exhausted sigh while lie on the ground.

" Does that mean, this is not a normal world.. and is this Wang Tian also me?" he muttered slowly.

[ That is correct. The soul of this body is a part of host's dormant soul and due to the sudden emotional instability the dormant soul merged with this soul as a result host regain his memory of past life..]

Wang Tian was silent for a while, taking in all the information that the system had just given him.

" Then what are you..."

[ I am a tool to help the host to become a powerful being.. according to host's memory you can describe me as a system.]

" Like a system of novels seriously...and who said that I wanted to become a powerful being....." he asked with irritation.

[ It's the host's desire before death.]

" That was just some bullshit.."

Wang Tian sighed..

" Then who gave you to me.."

[ This answer is not possible as the system doesn't know this..]

" Then what fuck can you do .." he said.

[ System currently have these functions: analyze, dimension travel, status, shop, inventory, add members ]

[ Currently all the function are locked apart from status and inventory ]

" What are those...and why the function are locked" he asked.

[ Analyze: With this function host can analyze any situation, condition or problems and also able to deduct possible solution..

Dimensional Travel: As the host desired to travel multiple worlds. the system transformed according to host's desire. With this function host will able to travel different worlds from different dimensions

Status: With this host can see your status

Shop: With this host will able to buy various products. Dsp ( dimensional system point) needed. The lesser version will also be available the future members that the host will add.

Inventory: A subspace function in the system. With this host can store anything non-living. Can be customized with host's wish

Add Members: A function for connecting people from other dimensions. Only one member can be added from any particular dimension.]

[ Sufficient energy and Dsp needed for unlocking those functions ]

" Fuck! this is trouble.. it is definitely a fantasy world.. " Wang Tian cursed out loud.

All his life, he lived a normal life. Yes! he enjoyed reading some novels and comics frankly who didn't love reading those but does that mean he would like to live here...

" System, you see, I think you pick the wrong master, I have no such desire to become a powerful being, I have already passed that age...you should pick a young one who is more capable than me.."

[ Not possible, system is only designed for the host and it has merged with host soul ]

" Fuck! Hey, system can you send me back... the only two things I regret my life is that not able to live freely enough and not spend time with my family, I really miss them and this life's family is already died what reason do I have to live here.." Wang Tian changed his question.

[ Not possible.. searching for possible solution..]

[ Solution- Become powerful ]

[ Searching for more solution..in progress.]

" Fuck! I knew it.."

Cursing and Venting his frustration, Wang Tian sat on the ground while blankly staring at the exit of the cave.

Normally one should feel happy to be reborn and not only that he also reborn in a world with spiritual qi and also got a golden finger.

But he was not happy at all, why should he? He lost his family came here an unknown place and learned that all who were related to him was already dead.

He literally became a caveman here.

What kind of shitty life is this?

Did someone mistake him as a main character of some tragedy novel or something like that?

" Fine if you want me to become powerful then I shall be one.."

" One day, one day I will reach zenith and return my home.."

*Growl..*

" Let me finish my line damn it.." his face twitched hearing the roar of his stomach.

" Now how do I get food.."

Looking at the dark outside he didn't want to go out.

Then he looked inside the cave. The cave was quite big, there was narrow path that led to a deeper area.

He fainted at the entrance area so he hadn't gone there.

" Now that I think, why there isn't a single animal here.. is something wrong with this cave?" he muttered.

" Well, no point on thinking.."

Then he started to walking toward the deeper area.
