1 The Cripple

Sitting on a chair, a young teen around 17 years old was looking at some paper. but he was not holding the documents, a maid was personally holding them for him.

"This is good, set the prince to 50 ranks 3 spirit stones." He said calmly, stunning the maid slightly who couldn't believe her young master would put the price so high. only the truly rich could buy such a thing, it's even more if they want to customize it.

"Don't worry, it will sell. to show off, people would jump to buy it even if they don't have the money. As time goes by, its prince would drop, and at that point, there would be a new ship for them to buy, better than this one." He said calmly, stunning her for a moment but she nodded in realization.

"People would complain about the prices, but I hold a monopoly over this, I can pretty much do whatever I want until someone comes to challenge my power." He said with a smile, to which the young maid nodded in understanding.

This young man was none other than the famous cripple, the son of the city mayor. for some reason, he was unable to use any Qi he absorbs. The world was filled with a unique energy known as Qi, in this world, everything is strengthened by this energy.

Don't look at the fact he wasn't holding the paper because he was some arrogant young master. he was too weak to hold that paper. In this world, everything is strengthened by Qi, from the water, rocks, and grasses, to even the normal humans of this world.

they all took in this energy allowing them to be far stronger than normal. in this world, even the normal person who can't cultivate or can absorb Qi for some reason is far stronger than the normal human back on earth.

they are capable of running 30 mph and lifting up to 6,500 lbs. That does not add to the fact this world has stronger gravity than that of Earth and so on. His body was unique as every energy he births in or absorbs just disappears, it doesn't strengthen him or anything, it's like it disappears. this left many doctors confused as they were not able to give a good guess as to what was going on.

So, he needed someone with him at all times. to open the door, hold stuff for him, and so on. if a leaf were to just fall on him, who knows how many bones would be broken? if the wind were to blow, who knows where he would end up? if the light of the sun were to hit him, he might just burst into flames.

He was pretty much playing a game of impossible mood, this of course left him helpless, but he was not the type to cry over stuff he can't control. he instead just do what he could best do, like starting his own business and seeing if he could hire those more skilled doctors to come to check on him.

why compare this world to Earth? it was because this cripple was from Earth, He had no sad backstory from back there or anything, he was simply a man who managed to survive world war 3, returned home, and managed to build his own business making himself a self-made billionaire before he died of a heart attack. honestly, it was all his fault, what was a 120-year-old doing trying to look at porn?

Hopefully when his child or wife found him they didn't see anything and the screen closed by itself.

Using that knowledge, he was able to support his father, the mayor of the city. At the age of 10, he showed off his talent for business management, and ever since he built his own business which skyrocketed.

His business was simple, he loved cars. So he tried to see if he could bring the concept of a car into this world where people used ships or swords to travel. so he did just that, and moved away from the design of a ship to look unique to everyone,

Power by spirit stone, these new ships were faster, saved more energy, and could show greater firepower and defense than the others. As for how this happened, it was simple. He created an engine, combined with many formations and the basic layout of what an engine was, once the ship moves, the trust brought upon made these things power.

Unlike the other ship which simply had a ship which is made out of high-grade resources plus many formations, his creation was like the birth of the wheel. With Sora being the only one with knowledge of such things, of course, he held a monopoly over such a business.

Others tried to copy his work, but they needed time to birth their work. plus every passing year, a new ship is a birth leaving them in the dust with some ships with were filled with flaws. As soon as he put a new ship onto the market, he is already working on the next ship which would come out years later. everything is planned and laid out, playing catch up would not be so easy.

Ever since he began his business, his father's strength has skyrocketed, he was not a powerful expert who didn't need to fear those other clans within this city. his father's soldiers were also better trained, making them far stronger.

the city was on road to being a second-star city as his father was nearing a breakthrough in the 4th stage of cultivation, the Nascent soul realm. As for him, he shall seemly remain a mortal for the next few years until his death.

"I'm going out for my morning walk." He said softly while getting up, and placing a clip onto his clothing. there were some things created just for him, the clip was one such thing. it acted as a GPS so his father could know where he was, it acted as a shield that could protect him from these simple things like the wind, and so on. at the same time, it could float, which is why Sora could pick it up without trouble.

anyways, He headed off. every day he goes for a walk around the mansion, to others the mansion although huge was nothing too huge, for him, it was a good workout as the thing was more than 100 miles long from one end to the other, he of course was not doing to walk the whole thing, just walk for 3 hours and go back inside.

So he left, while the maid went to go prepare a meal for him. due to his weak body, you might guess that Sora needed a small amount of food or else the energy from the food could kill him. but you would be wrong,

For someone so weak, Sora needed a huge amount of food, something which confused doctors even more. where was all that energy from the food going?

"sigh, what a nice world this is." He said softly while looking at the plants which were planted around the mansion, trees he has never seen before, and flowers he has never seen. many with unique colors, but all were extremely beautiful, giving the mansion a unique charm.

but it sucked he couldn't explore this world, he still remembered the day he was born, and how he was so happy to explore this world and become a powerful expert. but 17 years later, well... he was the weakest thing on the planet.

Sighing to himself, he didn't notice that the sky was slowly turning dark, storm clouds slowly gathering. within the mayor's mansion, the mayor suddenly frowned as he looked outside,

"Are those the legendary tribulation clouds?" He asked with a deep frown, to which the person he was currently meeting with shook his head slightly,

"Those are not tribulations clouds... more like heavens punishments. but I never heard they gathered so fast." a middle-aged man said with a deep frown, getting unease from the scene he was currently seeing. He sat next to a woman with long black hair, around 15 years old, and had a beauty that transcended anything a human mind could even picture.

"Is Sora out for his daily walk?" The mayor asked as he remembered someone, the maid standing at the door froze for a moment, and after some thought, she nodded. this was around the time Sora left for his walk,

"Walk?" The middle-aged man asked calmly, he heard about Sora's walks, but he never understood them

"Yes, although a cripple, my son wishes to one day find a way to fix his condition. with his bright mind, plus his determination, I'm sure he could be an expert who could surpass even the likes of myself." The Mayor said with a smile, the middle-aged smiled slightly at his words, he of course would not take the words of a father to heart, only his own eyes would do.

Not saying anything more, The Mayor had them call Sora back inside. the guy could die if the wind it a bit strong, who knew if the wind was going to get out of control which was the sudden change to the sky?

RROOAAARRR

the world suddenly turned golden, and the cries of countless beasts filled the sky, forcing all of the experts within the city to step out and see what was going on. The mayor and the middle-aged man and woman stepped out, their faces solum while looking at this scene in the sky.

"Well, this seems to be the end. 17 years is not bad I guess." a calm voice entered their ears, forcing them to look down only to see the mayor's son, Sora, looking at the sky. He could feel it, he could feel whatever this was locked onto him,

"what are you doing, get inside." The mayor roared seeing him just standing there, but he froze seeing how hard it was for Sora to even turn to look at him.

"I can't even move," He said with a helpless smile, the mayor hearing this tried to move, but he was stopped by the middle-aged man who was looking at Sora with a deep frown.

"he is being targetted by the heavens, you enter and the heavens would target you as well." He said seriously, shocking the mayor. how can the heavens target a cripple?

He wanted to speak up, but the moment in the sky forced him to look up. there he saw the countless beast formed from lightning rained down upon Sora, followed by a huge explosion going off, the ground and the side of the mansion exploded, with a huge mushroom being left behind.

Not even a level 1 Qi refiner would have been able to withstand that." the mayor said in horror at this scene, what did his son do? unable to accept, he rushed into the mushroom cloud to find his son.

"... how is it that his body isn't destroyed?" the middle-aged man said softly in shock while looking into the mushroom cloud, unlike Sora's father, he could sense within and knew everything within.

"Uncle, what do you mean? how could a cripple like him survive that?" The girl asked not believing the middle-aged man's words. the middle-aged man went quiet for a moment before he slowly spoke.

"It's said that the Qi he absorbs just disappears, just now those beasts that fell all entered his body. it sent him flying back, slamming heavily into the ground and creating such an expulsion. he should have been awakening a physique... well, we would find out once he awakens, he is barely holding onto life. so let's see how this plays out." He said calmly while watching the mayor slowly fly out of the mushroom cloud with Sora in his hands,

but Sora's clothing had completely disappeared, and his body was burnt black, it was hard to tell this was the same teen as just seconds ago. tears filled the mayor's eyes, this was his only son, and even as a cripple he cared deeply for him. but now he has died,

"He is still living, there is a chance to save him. plus, I sense Qi is no longer disappearing. the Qi coming into contact with him is being absorbed by his body. this is his chance to turn his fate around." the middle-aged man said calmly, stunning Sora's father and all who heard this.

Thanking them greatly, he went on to call for the best doctors to see his son...

Meanwhile, within a void, Sora sat... or floated within this void with a helpless look, this was not the first time he had been here. in his past life, he came here after death, and now it seemed like he was going to be reincarnated.

But something new happened, a white glowing ball suddenly appeared in front of him, shocking him slightly. slowly, the blowing ball of light began taking form, fusing with the void around it, and soon, a humanoid being with the body of the void and countless stars appeared before Sora.

His body was like the universe, looking closely he felt like each star was galaxies, but too small to be seen clearly

"I'm the Anime System, you have absorbed enough energy to be awakened, that's why for so many years you were so weak, host," it said calmly stunning Sora slightly,

"Anime? it has been ages since I heard that word." Sora said softly, he used to be a huge anime fan, but once he became a soldier he slowly forgot about it and only got back into it once he left the battlefield life behind him, making him one of the few billionaires who was a huge anime fan. Hell, they paid the authors of his favorite anime to do extra stuff on some of his favorite stuff. he even went to extreme lengths for it.

for example, the author of one piece was about to give up one piece before the damn thing was almost over. He was not having any of that, so he kidnapped him and had him finish the damn thing. Sora was not willing to die without finishing that anime,

"Yes host, I'm the anime system. I have a few functions, so please listen closely. the first is the stats where you can see your stats, the second is the slot. this slot is where you can collect all types of Anime related things, Abilies, bloodlines, items, and so on. lastly is the summon function, where you can summon any anime character. ranging from a side character to the all-time bad villain of the story. they shall all be loyal to the host." the system said stunning Sora for some time

"to use the slot or the summoning table, the host needs SP and System Points. there are two ways to collect them, the simplest way is to kill. for those of the same level, you shall get 1 SP but for those levels above you, you shall get more SP the higher they are. the second way is through how others view the host, the more hatred, love, envy, and so on is shot towards the host, the host would get 1 SP per such emotions." the system said stunning Sora for some time until he nodded as he began making plans to best use this.

"the host has 1 gift box, it shall be of 1 Technique, 1 Ability, 1 Bloodline, and 1 Item. good luck host." the system said before a box appeared before Sora, Sora looked at the box for a moment before slowly opening it.

"Congratulations host, you have gained 8 Gate Technique, The End, The Golden Monkey Cultivation Art, and the Totsuka blade." the system said making Sora's eyebrow raised slightly, of course, he was happy with the gains, although he didn't know what The Golden Monkey was, or what the End was. but of course, the system went on to explain them all to him,
