In a cold, dark, damp cave, The only sound is water dripping, heavy breathing and someone running

*drip**Drip*Drip*Drip*Drip*

'I gotta keep running those bastards won't get anything from me, all of my hard work.'

In a cave, we see a man in his mid-30s, wearing jogging pants/walking trousers. Long-sleeved tops. He has a small bag on his back. His clothes look beat up with cuts and rip up like he just finished fighting a tiger.

Suddenly a radio on the side of his bag goes off.

Outside the cave, a man in a professional suit is surrounded by what looks like special forces equipped to the neck with weapons. Holding a speaker in his hand he says " Hahaha, John you should stop running you and I both know you are not getting out of this alive. You should have just handed the book over when we ask nicely. People like you won't be able to make the best out of it."

John "Hmph whatever happened to be a friend James, who would fight with me till our dying breath. The only reason why you even know about the expedition for the Book of reincarnation is that I trusted that you enough to tell you"

James "I'm sorry about that but you are old enough to know that this world functions on profit. The money I get from selling that book is worth more than friendship. Friendship didn't take us far in life, it doesn't put food on the table, it doesn't help me with my kid's gift for their birthday and it will never do."

John "That's no excuse and you know it. We didn't work this hard for the money I was all for the adventure, the excitement of going to new places"

James "That's where you're wrong, it was the adventure for you but for me, it was a way to make life better. Enough talking"

James picked up a radio "All men go in, surround him and no shooting at his body. Headshots only, I can't have any damage happening to my goods"

John 'Fuck, I got no way out of this, I hope there some truth to this book cause it's my only hope..... who am I kidding this shit won't work, I'm dead.'

Taking the Book out of his bag, it is covered in old worn-out leather. There is a human skull, the eye socket is full of Diamonds in the middle of the cover. The title in bold says ╎リᓵᔑ∷リᔑℸ ̣ Open the first page there something written there like a warning, I don't know the language but somehow I can tell what it is saying.

*This book contains an accidental discovery of my tribe, we lost so many to the new land. By opening the whole to the new land we can go back and forth, The new Land always seems to change, our people couldn't pinpoint an exact location the portal put us. We also didn't expect to bring diseases over as well but there was a benefit we learned how to contract it by taking the body of someone born in that new land we can be immune to the disease. Over time we notice that the portal is slowly going away, we could let that happen so we manage to find a way around it even if the portal closes. Reincarnation we called it.*

John " What an interesting story but sadly I can stick around reading, where was it? ahh there. Hey, James, I don't think you would be able to gain any profit here today hahaha."

James " WTF he means by that, it doesn't matter hurry up and kill him"

1St POV

'Where am I, no who am I, oh yes my name is John Nelson I'm an adventurer or in technical terms I'm an archeologist. I have Been trying to make a big discovery. That's when I discovered a temple that had a book that explains the process of reincarnation and I was betrayed by my close friend James. Well, I can't blame him, money changes people. I would have done the same if I was in his shoes. Well, it seems that the book was telling the truth. If the reincarnation is like I think it is then I'm probably in a baby in the womb right now.'

____Time skip-Birth____Genral POV_____

John 'what is this feeling something is pushing me, seems like it is time for my birth."

"Madam keep pushing he is almost out"

Mom " wooo,wooo ahhh"

"There you go, look. It is a male, the eyes are so beautiful he seems to inherit your clan bloodline perfectly."

Dad "Hmph he better if not he would be just another member of the trash branch of the clan. He would inherit my elder position after I die. Why isn't he cry, don't tell me he is regarded" He raises his hands *spank*

________Back to the MC POV_______

john ' ahhh that son of a bitch. Huh!!!Eyes, clan where Tf am I. Well, don't matter I got a do-over on life in an unknown world. In this life, I'm gonna explore the whole world and make new things. Might as well collect some treasures down the line, I'm getting one-piece vibes.'

Dad "Ok your job here is done, you are not needed anymore

Mom "What's that supposed to mean... I just give birth to your child"

Dad "And I'm very much grateful but your purpose is done. I can have a commoner wife like you. It would bring shame to the Hyuga Clan name.*As he takes a kunai out* Don't worry about your family, they would be well rewarded."

Just like that my new life started with a dead body next to me ahhh I can tell this gonna be fun, I can't help but laugh sarcastically.

Dad "Ohhhhh... you find this funny great at least you have spirit.... your name is Ryo Hyuga.
