The Quick Story Of A Super Strong Reincarnator - Chapter 1 A Confusing Star
I opened my eyes. I was confused for a moment but it started coming back to me. It shouldn’t have been a dream given that I was at a place that I didn’t recognize and didn’t look like the hospital.I got up from what I thought was a straw bed. I was dazed, was this the primitive world. I looked around and found a mirror. I strode towards it, took it and saw my reflection in it. I fell in love with it immediately. I looked so handsome! I would have married myself if not for the fact that I am not gay.
I realized just then that the atmosphere was so different. It was more fresh and soothing, no pollution, and a soothing feeling that tingles the skin when it touched me. Why? I found the way to my answers in a young boy I noticed through the window, which was coincidentally in front of me.
I rushed out of the hut and went in front of him. I waved my hand in front of me so he could notice me. He did.
“Oh, you are awake. I need to tell dajie.”
He walked away from me and went towards a bigger hut. I think it was made out of more than just mud. I followed him to the entrance. He told me to wait and went inside. After a few minutes, he came outside and beckoned me to go inside and meet his sister.
I went inside slowly. I needed to make a good impression to get what I needed. I stopped in a hall in the centre of which was a lady. I greeted her with a bow and looked closely at her. She was a beauty. Would have been a celebrity with loads of pursuers down at Earth. Must have loads here too.
I told myself, “Be clear. Don’t make her fall for you, it will mean trouble.”
Must have jinxed it. She spoke sweetly. Obvious that she fell for me. She spoke,”What made you come to our small coop handsome hero.”
“Who are all of you?”
“I an Shen Fenxuing and the little boy is my brother, Shen Ming. We are the only ones here.”
“How am I here?”
“I found you in the forest. You were uninjured, surprisingly.”
“I need some information about where I am. Also about the weird atmosphere,” I decided to be a little commanding to make her not like me. Did the reverse.
“Sure. We are at Jiang Province of Jin Dynasty’s empire. We are a few miles from the Rock city. And regarding the atmosphere, it must be the spiritual qi. We are only a few miles from the city. It is several folds stronger than here.” She sounded more charming. Trying to seduce me I’d say.
“Spiritual qi?”I admit, I was confused.
“It is the power of nature. Practitioners absorb it to become stronger.”
“Practitioners?”
Once again I was confused.
“They are people trying to harness the power of nature and be as powerful as immortals. They wish to use these powers to ‘kill demons and gods’. It’s a very common site seeing them at Rock city. Here, however, it is rare to see a living soul, much less a practitioner,” she explained very patiently.
“Do you grade these practitioners?”
“Yes. There are 81 stages, each having 9 levels each. The strongest man in the empire, the emperor, is a 25th stage 9th level person. It might not seem strong, but it is very hard to achieve. Normal people can only become 2nd stage practitioners even after spending their whole lives. A 99th stage practitioner is practically an immortal. He can destroy the Jin Dynasty with but a thought.”
I got a vague understanding of this world that I was in. Immortals are no big deal. I’ll just kill them all. Since I am an intern, I should have some heaven-defying talent that makes me become a 99th stage immortal.
Even though I had a ‘plan’ in front of me, I didn’t know how to execute it. I didn’t have any way to ‘absorb’ this qi. So I asked my guide,”Can you help absorb qi?”
“Well, this qi absorbing book was with you when I found you. Take it,” She gave me a book that gave me an ancient feel.
I looked at the book. Then I asked her something that was bothering me.
” Can I stay in that hut?”
“Of course! You are my guest.”
“Lastly, how can someone know that they reached immortal stage?”
“They won’t be able to absorb qi, and a qi manifestation in the form of any animal will form and be your companion. The strongest animal is a dragon. The best immortals have dragon companions.”
“Why will that happen?”
“Nature is giving you a compensation for not being able to absorb qi anymore.”
“Okay. I will now take my leave. Thank you for answering all my questions.”
I clasped my hands in gratitude and left.
I jogged back to my hut. I quickly freshened up and opened my book. It was full of drawings of gods and demons and buddhas and powerful looking animals. There were some ancient looking letters that I didn’t understand immediately, so I sat down on my bed and started thinking about those letters. After about an hour of thinking, I figured out some vague meaning and went on.
It took me three hours to go through the entire book. I didn’t understand all of it, but I had a vague understanding. Shen Ming invited me to dinner. Only then did I realize that it was already the evening. I told him I’d come. I washed up with water I found beside my hut, and went to the Shen’s hut. During dinner, I told Shen Fenxuing about my problem with understanding my manual, but she told me that it was natural that it would take some time to understand a manual.
After a few days of life, in which I spent most of my time understanding my book, I finally felt that I understood my manual. I gave it a go. I started absorbing qi, but as soon as I felt qi, something abnormal happened.
All of a sudden, a huge jade dragon descended from the skies and came in front of me. It said,”Partner.”
