Chapter 1

'Darkness.'

That was his first thought, after opening his eyes.

'Where am I?'

He tried to get up only to realize that he couldn't properly feel his own body.

'Why can't I move? Why can't I feel anything?'

He tried to think back to the last thing he remembered before waking up.

Memories then began to run throughout his mind. Images of him getting bullied, and allowing others to walk all over him. Images of him trying to commit suicide and failing because of his cowardice.

And finally, an image of him being beaten to death by one of his bullies ran throughout his mind as remember all events of his play out till the very end.

Silence.

That was that could be heard as he watched his memories over and over again.

An unknown amount of time had passed before he had finally rewatching the memories of his life.

'What a pathetic life I lived right up till the end!'

That's right after watching his memories over and over again he had long since realized that after that beating he had taken from his bullied he had died.

He wasn't completely sure as to what his current situation was he assumed that he was in so limbo of sort, as he felt confined, while at the same time comfortable as he look on into the darkness.

'At the end of the day, it doesn't matter what my current situation is I'm already dead!!'

'What sucks the most about being dead is that I never really lived in the first place. Ever since I could remember I've been alone. "

'I was born an orphan so I never knew the love of a mother or a father. Growing up I was outcasted so it was hard to make friends. And the friends I did make ended up leaving me due to the backlash of being my friend caused by the bullies.'

'It's sad to think about but I can't even recall one memory of a time I was genuinely happy!! How pathetic is that???'

He then went on to think about how his life could have gone had he decided to stand up for himself, had decided to make different decisions, had he decided to make an actual effort to live his life the way he wanted.

All these thoughts of what he should've done, could've done, and didn't do continued to plague his mind.

It was at that moment he thought to himself that if he were given a second chance he would do anything within his ability to make sure that his next life would be one he could be proud of.

It was at that moment, he felt a change in his dark surroundings. The vast darkness that had always surrounded him felt as if it was closing in on him.

He also began to feel a force trying to pull him into the unknown. At first, he tried to fight against it but eventually, he realized his struggles were in vain.

As he allowed himself to give in to the force he realized that he could see a light.

After being in the darkness for so long he felt as if this light was a miracle and began making his way towards now working with the force.

It wasn't long before he could see an exit and without any hesitation, he went through it.

At that moment the original world of darkness that he had come so accustomed to became a world of light.

As his vision began to adjust he felt himself being turned over as what felt like a large hand slapped his ass.

Usually, something like that wouldn't hurt that bad but for some reason, it was like his pain tolerance was at an all-time low.

He couldn't help but yell out.

" WHAT THE FUCK???"

That is what he wanted to come out but instead, it came as a high pitch wailing.

'What is going on? Why is my body in so much pain from just being slapped on the butt? When did I get a body? Who the fuck slapped me and why?'

All these thoughts ran through his mind as he heard the voice of an elderly woman.

"It's a boy my lady and a rather energetic one at that just get a load of those pipes."

It was at that moment his eyes fully adjusted and he make out his surroundings he was in some sort of delivery room and he was currently being held by what he thought to be a nurse.

It didn't take long for him to put two and two together he had been reborn.

It was at the moment of his he heard the voice of another woman but this woman sounded much younger.

"Please bring me my son I want to see him."

He then felt himself being gently placed in the arms of who he assumed to be his new mother.

He looked up at the women, only to be greeted by the sight of a world-class beauty. She had long luscious black hair, gorgeous Emerald green eyes, and a beautiful oval-shaped face with smooth jade-like skin.

His mouth dropped as he stared at his new mother with wonder and awe.

Seeing the look her son was giving her the woman gave him a warm smile.

"From now on your name is Wei Long. I promise to always protect you so must grow up strong and brave."

Hearing her words Wei Long could only appreciate her for giving him such a prideful name he quite liked it from now on he is Wei Long.

His attention was drawn to the door as he saw it was practically thrown open. As he heard the voices of two men.

"OUT OF THE WAY OLD MONSTER, I SHOULD GO IN FIRST AFTER ALL ITS MU CHILD NOT YOURS."

"OYE YOU BRAT HAVE YOU NEVER HEARD OF RESPECTING YOUR ELDERS, AND BESIDE IT IS ALSO MY GREAT-GRANDCHILD AND MY GRAND DAUGHTER IS THE MOTHER SO WHY CAN'T I GO FIRST?"

The image of two men came into his views the first was a rather handsome man he had neat blonde hair, bright blue eyes that rippled like water, and rather a decent build.

Next to him was a huge old man with dark dark green hair that flowed freely behind his back but ironically he was bald at the top, his complexion was smooth as his own. If it weren't for his deep dark-green that gave away his years one wouldn't even be able to tell his age.

Although Wei Long was entertained by the two men the same couldn't be said about his mother.

"IF THAT'S HOW YOU'RE GOING TO ON THE DAY OF YOUR SON'S/GREAT-GRANDSONS BIRTH THEN YOU CAN BOTH LEAVE!!"

Immediately the two of them quieted down.

"Dear I'm sorry I didn't mean to upset or the baby it's just this old monster thought he had more right to my child than I the father."

Immediately afterward the green-haired old man wanted to defend himself.

"That's not true at all Lan'er I was just excited about my new great-grandchild when this brat tried to shoo me away! "

The two men were about to bickering at each other all over again until they felt a certain chill run through their spine as they looked over the angry Lan glaring at them.

Immediately they both quieted down.

Seeing the behavior of the two prominent men in her life Lan could only sigh.

"Since the both of you can't seem to behave I'll pick who gets to hold Wei Long first!!"

As she said that the blond-haired man spoke in a slightly hurt voice.

"Dear, you already named him without me?"

Lan then looked at him with slightly cold eyes as she spat out.

"Well maybe if you were here before you could have been here to name!! Now would complain about his name or would like to hold your son?"

At first, the man looked as if he wanted to protest but after seeing the look in his wife's eyes he just decided to hold back his tone and be with his child.

He then made his way to them but he didn't forget to whisper into the old man's ears.

"Suck on that you old fogey."

And quickly paced over to his wife and child and silently gloated.

The old man was furious but as he wanted to hold his great-grandchild he decided to wait and beat him later.

Lan gently handed Wei Long over to the blond-haired man who carefully held him in his arms.

"Hello, my son I'm your father Wei Tian I'm so glad to finally see you although I'm not much a fighter like that old monster over there I promise that ill protect you with all I have."

Lan gave a bright smile as she heard her husband's words.

Wei Tian then turned to Lan and with tears in his eyes, he hugged her with Wei Long gently tucked between them.

"My dear Du Lan my precious wife I can't ever thank you enough look at what you did you gave me a beautiful son, look he had your hair and eyes I'm sure he'll have a bright future."

Di Lan just smiled as she too hugged Wei Tian back full of love and affection.

But unfortunately, due to an impatient old man, the moment was quickly broken.

"Ehmm, I don't mean to interrupt but I hold my grandson? "

The both of them irritably looked over at him before sighing and nodding in approval.

Immediately Wei Long was taken into the strong arms of the old man as they both observed each other.

As the old man observed Wei Long he noticed the flash of intelligence in his eyes bringing a smile to his face as a said.

"It seems that I the great Du Busi was blessed by the heavens to have such a unique descendant I can't wait to observe your growth little one."

And with that, he gently handed Wei Long back to his parents and seemingly vanished right in from of his eyes.

Wei Long was at first curious as to what just happened and wanted to theorize an explanation but was suddenly he was overwhelmed by a sudden urge to sleep as his eyes began to close and his mid drifted off to darkness.
