Looking out to the void sighing how long has it been since my death years maybe centuries. but a sudden voice echoed throughout the void.
"Mortal you have been finally found" i felt something hold me then the next second im in a brightly lit room. The room was long as if it has no end with different kinds of doors on the sides.
A sound of paper made my turn to its direction i saw was a desk with a man in a suit with no facial features.
While walking towards him he spoke "Lloyd no last name cause of death shot at gunpoint no parents with hardwork was able to get to a stable livelihood." He said while reading out of a book. Now with how long you were in the void it destroyed you're connection to you're old world.
He looks at me "you are given a choice will you reincarnate to a different world or will you let you're soul disappear"
Bitterly "do i even have a choice reincarnate me" the man nodded his head pointing towards one of the many doors "pick one".

Southern border
In one of the many villages on qing mao mountain A wailing of a newborn baby can be heard an older lady handing over the child "im sorry sir but you're wife was".. not finishing her words and only shaking her head.
The man stood there while holding his child in a daze now looking at his child he narrows his eyes.
In the dead of night the father of the child took his wife corpse and left the village.
An old man seeing the now abandoned baby sighing he picked him up. While the baby was looking at him with it's deep eye's showing an unnatural intelligence not of its age.

Years pass
A gathering of old gu masters they were the elders of the sima clan there were five of the while one was seated.
The fifth elder spoke "clan head with the ever decreasing amount of good talents were sooner or later the other olans will start to suppress us"
The clan head responded "and whats you're suggestion" nodding "by taking the smart and talented children from the villages under us. As we all know usually how talented an individual is connected to how smart they are and how talented they are."
One of the other elders interjected "while that could help our situation for right now how about for long term how will we be able to keep them loyal to the clan." Looking at the other elder "as their still not from our clan and taking from the villages will be the same as alerting the other clans that we are lacking talents as soon as they find out they will try their hardest to keep it that way."
The fifth elder waved his hand "they're still children they could still be molded to be fully molded to have full loyalty to the clan. As for the other clans." A cold look appeared in his eyes i would like to see them try were not so weak that the other clans can just barge in and kill our people as long as we don't let them get out of our area of protection nothing would happen".
Looking towards the clan head waiting for his decision. The clan head nodded his head "go to the villages and gather gather the children and also to get more people to patrol around the surroundings."
