1 Reincarnation or Transmigration?

In an empty bedroom where faint breathing sounds are emitting, a young man was looking around 15 years old sleeping, he seem to be having a rather painful nightmare.

Suddenly, the young man opened his eyes and got up as quickly as possible to look around him, there he start to look warily around as if he was about to be attacked. He kept his guard up when suddenly his mind blank, he passed out for apparently no reason. So, as time passed he gradually awaken from a headache pain causing him to relapse at such exposure. He looked around with understanding and confusion, standing up he went to sit on 'his' bed.

'So I reincarnated, no I transmigrated! So that God didn't lie, I wonder if he granted those wishes...' This young man is John Masons, a coming up apprentice known for his unnatural comprehension but as good as his comprehension was. He can't beat the reality of not having spiritual root, a needed thing to become an Immortal and defy the Heavens!

He previously died in his old reality, a sad alone man closing his 50. He never achieved anything and was forgotten by the people around him such as family and friends. He fell into a deep depression after that time, he worked himself to death looking like a 70-year-old when he died of stress. When he was suddenly called into a boundless void he was surprised at what awaited after death, an empty void, one so that you can remember everything and forget it the next moment, one so empty that you can go insane!

When he was immersed in his surprise and depression started kicking at his death and mocking him, there was a voice, a voice that was both soft and bold, gentle and rough, feminine and masculine, so when hearing this 'voice' it startled him. It started speaking of starting another life and another reality, where he will start from 15-years-old, where he is in his prime, where he will never be forgotten with enough work and effort. To be honest, he got pumped hearing this, until he remembered the word 'reality '. The voice as if answering his call answered calmly, "This reality is where people can become Immortals, where the sick can be purified, where men die in masses every day that compared to your reality is earth size casualties."

Hear this, he was beyond terrified that he is just a speck of dust in front of these powers, that he was afraid that he won't be able to even raise a finger to these Immortal, Buddha, God, or Asuras! He wanted more, he needed more, he discovered this ambition as soon as it sprouted. He suppressed this urge to just go and collect all the knowledge of this dimension. Hell, he thought that if there is such a Reality there must be multiple, he wants to travel, to explore these ancient areas from the depth of his soul that it even hurt his soul.

This God or Immortal being he was talking to before just stated he had three wishes that won't be suppressed by the rules of all realities. He had a covered path that just need to be used expertly to understand said paths. He got out of his excited mood and suppressed his feelings, thinking about all his life to make references from what he has experienced to what he has read to understand how to exploit said wishes.

"Wish number 1 - I will be able to use all knowledge inside my brain and use it most efficiently, being able to remember everything in both 'lives' in each reality without repercussions" Stated the ambitious John, feeling that this was one of the best foundations he could have. After saying such a thing, he heard a snap, he felt sick and felt like vomiting but he can't, he was already an astral figure so having bodily functions would just feel weird, that was if he was thinking properly. Then after the sickness passes he felt warm and he could understand so much more than what he has accomplished in his whole life.

The Godly figure has rearranged his soul. Of course, John doesn't know such a thing, if so he would be freaking out of how much permission he had access to. After being snapped out of his euphoria of knowledge that he had understood he stared into the void. After a while of thinking, he made his decision, "My Second wish would being able to access any form of energy at unlimited potential when acquired, so it would be ever-growing. While also being unlimited talent in any field I wish to use."

Having the feeling of euphoria hit him hard again, he started to feeling an unknown substance floating inside of him, this energy felt viscous and pure. Having felt this type of 'energy' he wanted to control it to 'perfection', a new desire popped out of nowhere, he had no idea how such desires appeared in his thought process. Thinking hard about such a thing he found he started to worry about such obnoxious thinking process and wanted to control it too.

"And the third wish I want to have would be able to control my conscious and subconscious mind so I don't get arrogant." As soon as he said this he felt 'calm' but not, he felt angry but 'suppressed' he didn't understand this feeling.

"You shall wake up in an 15 year old body, although be careful of this world it is a lot more dangerous than one would think. If we were ever to meet again I would gladly drink tea with" said the amused 'voice'. Having said that, a sound of a bang erupted and everything went dark on John. He felt memories that originally wasn't in his mind appear there, it was painful, so painful that he had to stop thinking and focus on one of his wishes, his third wish was controlling conscious and subconscious mind so he started suppressing the pain raining his system.

Do as soon as he awoken in a foreign place he immediately got up to run away, but as soon as he stared a bit more he understood something. He found this room familiar but foreign at the same time, it was a weird feeling of knowing but not knowing. He looked at his hand and saw a pale but healthy skin color that was covering his slender hand showing skin so soft that it looked as if it hadn't been touched in his life. He started to understand more about himself or his bodies old 'self'.

As he sat at the bed he remembered what his body looks like, black hair with white streaks in, tall but slender like an athlete build, and a standout handsome face. He smiled remembering what he looks like, but as he remembered such a good thing he remembered other unfortunate thing, such as constant ridicule from family members, bullying of outsiders, assassination attempts on his life by his supposed half-siblings. Remembering how his father and mother reacted when he was discovered to have no potential to become an Immortal. The sheer disappointment that was radiating off of them was choking to his previous 'self', but no, this is a different person occupying his body, someone that doesn't care about things such as family recognition, someone who only wants to be remembered by all not some puny family.

He controlled his thought process and remembered his previous 'self' was a comprehension was levels ahead of many, of course now that he is taking control of this body it was upgraded immensely it was reality to earth if you know what I mean. He also understood that he will be able to 'cultivate' as people say.

<John's POV>

'Couldn't I just control this 'soul' energy to create some ''Emperor' veins'?' I was getting a weird feeling that I would be able to do such a thing if I had enough information about such veins. The energy that I unlocked in the boundless void that I could only guess on the information of different infinite realities was the gap between them. I named such energy as 'soul' energy, I started checking 'my' memories with his first wish - Being able to use all information inside my 'brain' in the most effective possible way for my goal. After searching for my answers I understood a lot about this reality and maybe a world of many others in said reality. This world is a Martial Arts Fantasy Reality. Such thing as cultivating to become an Immortal by challenging the heaven's wrath or Buddha by understand the meaning of life and benevolence, Hell even Gods by using faith or an Asura by using blood and carnage.

I started recalling everything that my body has read in his life, and let me tell you there was thousands of books in this head that it makes me feel quite dizzy about what he went through previously. After getting over the dizziness I started recalling everything about ''Emperor' Veins' to recreate them personalize for me if possible. After recalling everything about said veins I started to freak out, I mean there are 54 vein points and his body doesn't even have said veins somehow!

But I understood, wasn't his body created by this god like being suppose to be based on his old 15 year old body, so obviously it wouldn't have any ''emperor' veins'. I just need to create said 'veins' and BOOM Immortality starting road! I started recalling every special bodies and veins, and I understood how high people can become, well some people as there was deep research done on the special physical bodies, but those are special cases because the rest are just explaining as Heaven's Blessing. Although there is such a thing as Heaven's Blessed Ones those are just blessed by Heaven's Will.

While thinking about such a thing there was a knock at the door, "Young Master, your presence is required at the main hall." Once opened the door revealed a maid with barely concealed disdain...
