Chapter 1: Reincarnated into an unknown world?

Earth March 17th 2018. I'm a student in England finishing my exams in computer science. I can remember that day with a great detail. While I was writing my exams, an earthquake began. It was so strong that the building collapsed while I was buried. After a few hours of pain, I woke up in a different location and here starts my story.

I woke up and felt refreshed. In the first few seconds, I was looking at my surroundings. Something was wrong. I was in a cave which was dark, sealed from the outside. There was no sound coming from the outside. Did someone put me into a cave? There were no glasses, no light. The only thing I was sensing was a strange power inside my body. I can feel it was absorbing something. I was thinking,

'How many days have passed?'

I was searching for my smartphone, but I found nothing. This silent, dark cave makes me uncomfortable. Hours passed while I was trying to get used to the darkness. I tried to remember what had happened the last time. My memory was blurry. I was asking myself,

'Am I dead? Was I reincarnated in a place with no light? Am I in hell?'

The more I think about it, the headache gets stronger. So, the next thing I was figuring out was how to get out of this place. I felt my way along the walls. My eyes could see some outlines of some objects. What I found out shocked me. There was some kind of power which I felt. It was a mechanism for something. So, I tried out how to manipulate this power to activate this mechanism. A few seconds later, I could activate the mechanism while something happened.

Rumble!

Some enormous stone was moving away from an entrance light shining into the cave. For a few seconds, I was blind. I was moving to the entrance to the outside. What I saw shocked me again.

'Where am I? This place looks so green.'

I saw gigantic mountains in the background. Flying beasts which are not birds flying in the sky. Trees that are as big as skyscrapers in the modern world.

A woman walked straight to me.

"Hello master Reeves congrats to breakthrough to the peak realm of Core Formation. The Core Elders wish to have an audience with you. I'm here to report this important matter. "

She looked at my body and said,

"But before that, I strongly recommend taking a bath. Your training must be intense to look that bad. "

I looked at her silently, not able to speak. I didn't know who she was and the other important matter is where am I?

"Hello master Reeves, did you hear me? "

"Oh, sorry, I was thinking what could this matter be. "

She looked at me, startled, "I don't know either, but it should be something important even the sect master will join in this matter."

Sect master? Peak realm of Core Formation? Core elders? What are these?

I scratched my head. "I guess I will take a shower now. But before that, can you tell me where the meeting is? "

"The Elders said that they appointed the location of the meeting at the Elder's hall. "

After a short silence she went into my cave and was preparing the bath. "Master, will you come? The bath got prepared! "

Going inside the cave, I asked myself. Is she my wife or maid? If I asked her name, it would become a strange situation.

"Thank you for the hard work. You can wait outside while I finish my bath."

"Master, did I do something wrong? Why are you acting so strangely?"

Ehhh wait what? Did I say something wrong? Ha, I need to de-escalate this quickly.

"To be honest, my memory is blurry. It seems it has to do something with the breakthrough. I can't remember my past, nor do I know who you are. I don't know how to deal with this kind situation."

She took a deep breath and panted.

"Are you injured somewhere? Should I call the elders for help? "

"No, no, the injury is something minor, no need to ask for the precious time of an elder. I meant what I said before. Strangely, my memory is blurry. Can you help me a little out? "

"Oh well, okay. What do you want to know? "

"First, I want to know who you are. What relationship do we have and the most important thing is where am I? I have a few more questions that depend on your answers. "

Is something wrong with his head? This is definitely not something that a minor injury can cause.

"I'm your servant. We have known each other since we were kids. We are currently at your cave, which you owned for cultivation and crucial breakthrough moments. I think we should go to the Elders. Your behavior is not normal. "

"No, don't worry. I'm fine. I think some memories will come back with time. "

"Are you really sure about that!? Hmph then step inside this bad before it gets cold! Your questions are truly shocking! How can you forget one of your closest maids? Let me guess, you don't even know my name!? Right?"

This escalated too quickly. I should better say nothing anymore and behave. Smiling at her, I took my clothes off and went straight to the bath!

She got angry. "Why are you not answering my questions? "

"Well, you see. I don't know how to explain this. If I were to explain it, you wouldn't understand. There is no need to be this angry. "

"Then explain it!"

"Okay, but don't laugh at me. Actually, I lost my memory."

'If I would tell her that this is a different world. She would laugh at me.'

She was looking at me with piercing eyes. She stepped away and said, "I'm sorry master, I must refuse your order and inform the elders about this. Your brain must get hefty, damaged by the breakthrough. I'll notify the elders right away! "

She took a talisman out. It shone and suddenly went into a normal state.

"Don't worry, the Elder is coming in a few seconds."

What amazed me is that in a few seconds I felt an enormous power closing the distance to my cave. Was that some communication tool without speaking?

The most hilarious thing is that she wasn't acting like my maid but like a wife!

The power erupted. A loud, deep voice echoed, "Thank you for informing me with this shocking news, Miss Ray. You can go to your master's mansion."

"Yes, Elder."

She flew away. After his speech, he was looking at me with a curious and worried face.

"Core disciple Reeves, congratulations on your breakthrough into the peak realm of Core Foundation! You know very well why I am here right? I heard you had complications with your breakthrough as a Core disciple and a future core elder. I must investigate this. What happened during the breakthrough?"

While he asked, he scanned me to search for any physical or internal damage.

"Elder, I don't have any physical or internal damage! The problem is the situation escalated. However, there is indeed a damage which I cannot understand. I'm honest with you, I have a grave memory loss! "

"Hmm, so it's a soul problem. This is indeed a grave problem. You will have some issues, if you want to break through into the nascent soul. Take this pill. It will refresh your soul for the time being. "

"Thank you for this precious treasure of yours, Elder."

I annoyed the Elder because of my flattery way of speech

He simply nodded

"Elder, the memory of my current life is somewhat blurry. I had a life in another world."

The eyes of the elder went wide. The elder trembled and wanted to cry of joy.

"The heavens, you are a reincarnated being! This is a great omen for the sect which is truly good news! I must report this to the sect master! The heavens blessed our sect finally! Say are you from the Immortal Realm? How are the endless sacred lands? And your memories don't worry. We will answer your questions. In a few days, your memory will get back! "

Okay, I wasn't expecting this kind of enjoyment. It was truly a unique experience when I compared it to my maid. If they actually knew that I really know nothing about this world, they would curse me or, worse, kick me out. I need every bit of information about this world the more the better. It doesn't look to be the world Earth where I actually come from. Let's better ignore his questions about being Immortal and how the lands look like. I truly don't know what to say about this.

I scratched at my head and said, "I appreciate your enjoyment, elder. Sadly, I don't know where I am and you mentioned something about a sect. What is a sect?"

"You are a Core disciple at the Misty Mountain sect. A sect is a group of people which are cultivating to be stronger and to live longer. To be in a sect that means ressources are not limited to you. Hm, I'm truly sorry to interrupt our little speech. I need to go on a mission. The next time I see you I want to hear your glory fights from heaven to hell haha! "

He flew away.

What I forgot to ask him about is when this appointment was. Well, let's get bathed first.
