1 Chapter 1 - Rebirth or Was I?
"It's a beautiful baby boy," cheered a group of maids said beside a labored lady, while butlers were waiting outside of the door. The baby stares at the lady perplex about the current situation. The room is milky white with weird animal faced banners on the walls.
"No I just was on a chopping block like a second ago, where am I now?!?" Jiayi Bai was a rice farmer who died unlawfully, because he was an easier target. As a baby, he knew he had to cry to seem normal so he starts to cry. The lady picks up the baby and announced "Your name is Jiayi Bai, in remembrance of your late brother." I'm stumped, it isn't possible for me to be a baby and still keep my memories, and I still kept my name. Next to me was a group of maids and just outside was about 5 butlers. We never had maids, butlers, and most definitely not a clan. Plus am I is the same era as before, can I get revenge on who framed me, or is my social status to special to the point where I have my own bodyguards." The baby looked confused when it saw mother's face for the first time, but in reality he's just thinking to himself.
"Mother!!, Baby Bai's body..." just like that a gust of wind so fast came in but was so gentle that the baby didn't notice. A sweet but urgent voice then permeated throughout the room saying, "What happened, what's wrong, Is Bai ok, was their any complications." Etc, Etc rambling over and over.
"MOTHER, his meridians, wh..why are they shattered," The lady, soon started to tear up, and break down. "It seems that she's beating herself over my meridians, I thought that meridians didn't have a purpose besides storing energy," I thought.
All the maids, butlers, and even the grandmother snapped their necks to look at baby Bai. "Alas my daughter, this child of yours can never be considered your child, only a child who is strong can carry the family name." said the grandmother trying to comfort her daughter.
From what i can deduce, meridians in this household is considered the norm to be powerful, i guess all i can do is train this mediocre body of mine.—————————————————————
5 Years Later
"Have you heard, Master Bai has cultivated a Internal Body with the help of a wood, fire spirit," "Why is the cripple cultivating Internal energy," "We might be able to regain the clans' strength yet."
All sorts of thoughts have been running through maids, butlers, chefs minds, people who have known about the birth of Jiayi Bai, "The Clan Cripple, The Wasted Space, and The Weakest Link we're just some names people have called Bai in his adolescence.
Ever since i was found out to have broken meridians, multitudes of doctors and practitioners have diagnosed that i had some sort of incident when i was in my mothers womb. Only my mother secretly cares for me, by buying medicinal herbs, stones, and even rare metals hoping to mend my meridians. My mother is considered an upper echelon of our clan. Everyone refers to her as the "Ice Queen", Miss Jiayi, but i just call her mom.
Since i am now 5 years old, i am to survive in the Forest of Monsters and Demons for just 3 days. I am only allowed a dull knife, and a single piece of bread. If i come back before those 3 days, i am to be disowned by the clan, to roam across the continent as a "Stilfiner", a person of great fear, people usually call this type of people as Roamers.
"Ok mom, ill see you later, in about 3 days," i say merrily as to lessen my mother's worry. Mother looks at me with worry and under her breath she says "You must survive, as you can change our fate." I turn my head because of what she said, but then the forest seemed to consume me under its blanket of darkness.
