1 Chapter 1

A/N: I'm a masochist so I now have two novels to write daily, how fun :)

I came to.

"Brother Gu?" said the speaker.

I remembered a couple things, and as a result, I realised something due to a recent memory:

A long-haired middle-aged man with white garments and a sparkling jade pendant spoke.

"Pettiness is not a desirable quality in a king. If you want to inherit the throne, you must put an end to this!"

Was he referring to me, as they are MY memories?

I-I was a prince?

I began to recall more information.

Long hours of meditation and... a status screen?

I was interested in seeing it.

''Status!''

Nothing.

A chuckle was heard.

Oh wait, I forgot I was being spoken to.

I noticed a small child in front of me.

He laughed, and said,

''You know you don't check your stats like that! All you need to do is think of it.''

Thinking..

A blue screen appeared in front of me.

[Name: Gu Ling

Gender: Male

Age: 23

Cultivation: Soul Strengthening

Cultivation Technique: Monarch's Reign

Notable Abilities: True Sight, Monarch's Foresight, Bow Intent]

W-what?

The name, the abilities, the cultivation level.. They all were very similar.

''Hey! Big bro!''

I heard the kid again, but I temporarily ignored him.

A few more memories started to resurface.

When I first used the ability Monarch's Foresight, I awakened my physique and unlocked an ability known as True Sight, which allowed me to peep at a person's talent in a certain skill, but it has a one-month cooldown and can only be used on the same person four times.

-I was the most likely heir to a kingdom known as the Myriad Element Dynasty's throne.

-My family's inheritance and what propelled them to prominence was a stat sheet that was only available to them, detailing their cultivation, powers, and growth, not to say their ridiculously high talent didn't help. I exhaled deeply and facepalmed. Goddamnit..

'Gu Ling', also known as 'Cockroach Trash', or 'Arrogant Young Master no.420', depending on who you asked. I'm him now, huh? Albeit the world I'm now living in is a bit more technologically advanced than my old one, despite it being cultivation.

''Big bro!''

I heard the kid's voice again, and responded.

''Hm?''

Who even was he?

I wasn't some literary specialist who knew the names of every character in the series, including the minor ones.

I remembered a little more.

My younger brother, 'Gu Jian.'

"What exactly do you mean by 'Hm'? I've been talking to you for a few minutes now, and you haven't replied!"

"Yeah, sure." My apologies."

I wasn't even paying attention to this kid. After all, I was fucking GU LING! Why me, Goddamnit?

I'm in a cultivation world with no amusement or things to do, and even if cultivation is fun 'cause I'm getting stronger, the stronger I become, the longer I live, and the longer I live, the more bored I'll slowly become, after trying everything life has to offer.

I dashed away from Gu Jian, searching for the nearest knife. If I got reincarnated once, it'll probably happen again, right?

I stabbed forward.. and then stopped myself.

I realised I didn't have the will to do it.

I sighed and thought of the next option for me.

I couldn't think of any others that involved leaving this place.

Well then, I guess I'll try living in a cultivation world?

First matter of business: Changing out of these uncomfortable-ass clothes, and creating toothbrushes(a cultivator's breath must smell like shit after millions of years of living, right?). After that, we'll try and find entertainment somehow.. hopefully.

A/N: short first chapter, but don't worry, average length will be ~1.5k. AMA about the novel in comments!
