Sweat covered my body as I emerged from that cage, the very cage that drilled in nonsense into our heads. Yes that dreaded place - you guessed it - school.

I literally dragged my body as I walked home, head down like always having nothing forwards to do and no one to talk to.

*Rumbling*

What on Earth was happening it was boiling a second ago and and now it’s raining. Great now I’m drenched in sweat and water, just add some whipped cream and some chocolate and you get that shitty drink at the back of the supermarket that no one buys.

Flash. Flash. Flash.

Lightning?

What a coincidence, how come all three lightning strikes happened around me in the shape of a triangle. Is this divine punishment for not paying attention in geometry. Just at that moment I had a burning sensation throughout my entire body. Something was glowing. It was probably my phone right?

My eyes were practically already closed as I entered the house and clambered upstairs, leaping into my bed.

My body was burning, why me? Why am I experiencing this pain again on the same day? I couldn’t wake up, all I knew was that this pain originated from the space in between my collar bones - it has to be the ruby I got as a present from father. Just then the pain faded and I ventured along the stages of deep sleep.

Beeep! Beeep! Beeep! The ringing noise pierced my ears forcing me to wake up.

Where was I?

I felt a terrible sensation within my brain, it felt like a electricity flooding a circuit that even a fuse couldn’t stop.

It was the worst migraine I had ever experienced. But at least it told me of my current situation.

I was the son of an extremely powerful cultivator but a son of a second marriage, a son that was looked down upon for being a fat useless piece of trash with a weak martial spirit. A piece of trash that was so unfortunate that his own mother left him, luckily his father stayed by his side and protected him.

So pretty much I’m the same as I was from earth except that I’m a useless son of a cultivator now.

I looked at myself in the mirror. I was different. All the fat was gone. All that remained was thick muscle that was hard enough to be intact after being hit with over ten thousand pounds of force. But that was not all the place where the ruby I wore as a necklace contained a birthmark the exact size of the ruby.

I touched it and was lifted into an endless space.

“Where am I?”, I cried at the top of my lungs.

An Unknown Voice replied.

“You are in your mind. You may not know what has happened to you, so I will explain.

You were transported to a parallel dimension similar to the one you were previously in on Earth but this world is of cultivation. A world where the weak bows down to the strong. You were poorly treated my your peers in your old world, that was not entirely your fault the God of your old world had locked your potential and left you to be picked on your whole life. But in this world it is unlocked today. All the fat you had earlier was not fat, it was Qi. Qi you were not able to absorb but that is a different story today. Today you will be able to pave your own fate in the world of cultivation. Do not let your continue a life of misery, build a life of success, a life that you will be respected in!”.

The old owner of this body was able in the peak of the last stage of Qi detecting but couldn’t break through to Qi refining. But Gu Xiao Bai would not be there anymore. After unlocking his potential he absorbed all the Qi he had collected for the previous 16 ears of his life and went into the Qi fusion realm. The third realm of the thirteen of cultivation stages. He was now a prodigy, a child born once in every ten centuries. But he had to keep that hidden, so he voiced to suppress his cultivation to the peak of Qi refining, to not raise suspicion.
