A young boy can be found lying down in a doctor's office after having fainted 2 hours prior. The boy contemplates himself after opening his eyes with some slight rationale. "Martial Spirits, Spirit hall....Fuck this is Douluo Dalu. But also heck yea i have been reborn into Douluo Dalu." he says with a slight smile by looking at the bright side of it all, and excited over all the concepts that exist in the world.

The Boy winces a bit as he experiences the memories of his new life up to this point. An ugly expression on his face that quickly turns to relief. "phew, thank goodness I was able to skip the potty training phase outright. I definitely didn't want to experience crapping myself if it was like most other isekai anime I have seen or heard about." He monologues to himself but has to stop as the doctor checks up on him.

"Hmmm, I seem to be born in a place called Sunset City which is the local region city next to Sunset forest ... .isn't that the place where Dugu Bo nearly killed tang san in their first encounter? Damn, I need to find out where I am in the timeline. I know spirit Hall exists but I don't know who leads it. If it's long before canon or certain characters don't exist, then im ..." Xue Tie, the child silences as he notices a figure enter the room. They have shoulder length deep brown hair and golden eyes. He is wearing a white labcoat-style attire.

"oh, you have woken up Xiao Tie. That's good. Your parents and my son were worried about you. Let me go call them over. and then after one more checkup, I may be able to release you, ok?" The doctor says to which Xue Tie simply nods since he can't really decline for any reason as there is nothing wrong with him. The doctor leaves for a moment to call Xue Tie's parents over. His mother immediately hugs him, pulling his head into her soft chest while his father looks at him curiously while speaking to the doctor friend/neighbor.

"Were you able to figure out what's going on?" To which the doctor shakes his head. "I have two theories, the first is more of a pure medical focus and that he simply passed out of exhaustion but from your words he was happy and energetic so it doesnt quite make sense."

"The other is that his body is already being affected by his unawoken martial spirit. There is a history of certain folks being affected in various ways like this. Most face a personality shift to match the martial spirit and this is technically good when looking at one's talent though it depends on what personality he takes on. if it's nothing different then it might be that it affects him later in life. There are countless theories I can go over with you in private but there are no immediate signs of negative effects so rest assured of his safety."

The doctor rambles on and on about his two theories which net him a bit of a glare from the father as he put out all these negative theories or uncertainties in the presence of his wife. The doctor rubs the back of his head and with the help of Xue Tie's father, Xue Tie is no longer suffocated in his mother's bosom.

The doctor then goes over one last check up and even asks a few rudimentary questions to see how Xue Tie feels. After another half an hour they are released to go home after Xue Tie's father pays the doctor for his hard work and loss of free time for what should have been a day off as they were to meet all the other neighborhood kids for a playdate.

Speaking of, the son of the doctor has been peeking out from behind a corner at Xue Tie as the checkup has been going on. He didn't want to affect his fathers work. After seeing that he is fine and being brought home by his family, he leaves too. "Stupid Xue Tie, now I cant see fiary Ziyi today. Have to wait until next week.'' His words aren't quiet and bring out a smile on his fathers face while Xue Tie's father is also smiling as he could hear it but his wife couldn't until he told her to which she joined them in giggling a bit. Xue Tie is the only one confused and can only follow along while trying to learn more about his environment.

After a few minute walk, the family trio arrive at a simple home in between the outskirts and center of the city. Xue Tie's father is a Spirit Master but he has supposedly reached his limit a long while ago and has instead focused on business which he excels at. Using this talent of his, he was able to create a simple lifestyle for his family while also saving up some extra coin and allow his wife to live leisurely at home and take care of their child.

Once inside, Xue Tie's mother, Xue Lana gets to make dinner since the incident happened around lunch but also makes them skip lunch which would have happened at the canceled gathering (a picnic). Xue Lana says to her husband as she sets off to the kitchen, "Laopo (meaning for husband-old fashioned), go take Tie'er to his room and have him rest. I won't take any risks for the next few days for him to strain himself at all and cause another incident like this." The husband in question, also known as Xue Mao ('Blood Spear') simply nods and brings their son to his room. Xue Tie nervously sits down on a chair while his father does the same while bringing in another chair.

"Do you have anything you want to tell me?" Xue Mao asks with a serious tone and eyebrow raised. Xue Tie is immediately conflicted, as he knows that outright saying he had reincarnated is a big no go for now. But he also can't say 'nothing' since he is the only clear one about what happened to him and he needs the support of anyone he can find to help him.

At least until he awakens but he also can't say 'nothing' due to his new child-like instincts screaming to repent and the 15 year old self at a loss of what to actually say but also pressured since he never really angered his parents in his old life. Making this quite the new experience in both lives.

"ugh.....pain and fear enveloped me that I passed out" Xue Tie nervously says which only causes a second eyebrow to raise on his father's face. "what hurt you to make you so scared and weak?" Xue Mao asks

"Nihil" Xue Tie almost says in a whimper and a shudder is visible on Xue mao's body but he quickly suppresses it while releasing a sigh.

"Alright, don't worry about it. I'm not mad or anything. Both me and your mother just worry about you. So rest up for now and come down to dinner later. Don't tell your mother about this, it will just make her worry for you. You will be awakening in a month and then we will also have an early celebration of your birthday at the same time to congratulate you on awakening." Xue Mao says as he gets up and takes his chair away, he leaves to rest in the living room of the house. He is thinking to himself. Coincidentally, Xue Tie is doing the same.

'So, I told him. At least a bit, but he definitely knows something. Mohg wouldn't have killed me and sent me here otherwise. I guess I can only wait until I get my Marital Spirit to see what Mohg wants of me. Or if I want to ignore him and just enjoy my life. Then I'll definitely live to the fullest.' Xue Tie thinks to himself, trying to cheer himself up from the bad memory of his death and the words Mohg said to him before he was killed. "You are mine and mine alone. And it is through you that is the coming of our dynasty."

'How was he even able to claim me, he was a video game character? Why did he have to kill me? I doubt I will ever get answers to these questions in my present state. Even in other novels of similar nature. Anyone who questions their transmigration typically has to reach the peak of their world and I'm nowhere near that. I'm also hoping that I can even reach that far as otherwise I would truly be a waste.'

Xue Tie continues pondering to himself and giving himself a headache since he is too weak to get any answers to his questions.

After a while he is called down to dinner and while eating, he decides to fully assimilate his new memories and live a normal life while simply investigating the details of the world he found himself in and correlate it to the details he knows of the story he is acquainted with.
