Episode One

Ever since third grade, I've been dead. Just a body walking around. Have you ever heard the line, "living with a mind that wants to die with a body that wishes to live"? I suppose I fit that description... I lost everything that meant something to me in this world... what am I supposed to do? I really... just want to die... I was born an orphan, worked my *ss off to be at the highest point, owning the largest company, yet no family, no friends... No happiness or reason to live... Was I born to be alone since I was born? A turn of fate? In my dreams.

It's really beautiful... these cuts so deep in my wrist... all the pain I had in my head... it really is real. I smiled warmly at my arms that had deep cuts, blood seeping out and onto the white carpet.

Ahh... i'm really... so tired... The cup of whiskey dropped out of my numb hand, shattering on the ground. The lights all turned off slowly, so this is the end, huh... finally...

"Hey. Wake up!" A deep voice said, and a sudden jolt of pain hit my rib cage. I held my rib cage and grunted in pain. I slowly opened my eyes. I regretted instantly, a bright light blinded my eyes, making me squint.

"Wake up!" The voice rumbled again. Once my eyes adjusted, I sat up and looked around. No one was there. "H-hello?" I said, but my voice sounded weird... sounds like... babies?!

"Heh, finally awake I see? I don't have much time to explain. My name is Ademist, I gave you a second chance of life. Your soul is now residing in the dead princes body, poisoned by your step mother, a concubine. This world has magic, priests, demons, magical creatures like pixies, dragons, shape shifters, giants, dwarfs, and so much more. Good luck, and climb to the top. There, you will be granted your long awaited wish."

The voice disappeared, and a forest suddenly surrounded my view. I was sitting up against a dead tree, the forest around me was on fire! Did lightning strike this tree?!

I tried standing, pushing off the ground and using the tree for support, but my muscles were too sore and weak, I fell on the ground. Calm down... he said there was magic here right? It must be like Chi that I used in my last live. It seems like this body is only four years old.

Even if I started cultivation right here... I will still die because of the fire!!!! This kid was a good for nothing!!! He didn't even start cultivating!!!!

Tears came out of my eyes from frustration, and I shamefully started crying out aloud. "Waaaa! Waaaa! Waaa~" I don't remember for how long I cried, but someone heard me. "There's a baby in the fire! Save the baby!" And so... I was saved by a couple that had a farm near by... in such an embarrassing way!
