Vlad got taken a fancy large Manor, Vlad looks curiously around the eastern style manor.
'large...' was all that Vlad could think of as the Asian man carrying him hands him off to a bunch of maidservants, which the maids look at Vlad curiously as his Sapphire blue eyes and blonde hair looks quite captivating.
(look he has pretty blue eyes)
(and his hair is like... It's like it's made of pure gold)
(he must have an ancient bloodline running through his veins to be this pretty)
Unfortunately, Vlad still has no idea what they're talking about.
The maids eventually brought him to a room, they left him there until the lord of the manor decides what to do with him.
So Vlad lay there on the crib for a good few hours before a woman came waltzing in through the door like she owns the place.
Vooomp
Step step step step
She walks up to Vlad's crib and examines him closely.
(Hummm... golden hair and blue eyes... indeed this child does seem to have a rare bloodline)
Not long after a few of the maids came chasing after the Madam fearing that she might do something to the baby.
(Madam! Madam! Please have mercy on the child)
The woman then turned her head back to the maid in a casual relaxed manner
(Oh... I just came to see what the child my husband brought back)
When she first heard that her husband brought back a child it made her quite furious as she thought that the child he brought back was from an affair, so in her rage, she immediately rushed in to where the child is and deal with the problem from its roots. But upon closer inspection of the child, she changed her mind as the doesn't have any characteristics of the Feng clan.
The Feng clan as the 鳳(Phoenix) would suggest has the blood of the Phoenix running through its veins. The Feng clan is quite known for the fiery red hair and crimson red eyes, not mentioning the affinity over fire element.
The child having pure golden hair and sapphire blue eyes, simply can't be a child of the Feng clan.
With that issue solved the Madam leaves the bewildered Vlad alone.
'What was that all about?' He wondered.
Time skip a few months later
'Okay it seems that I reincarnated to an... eastern fantasy world' Vlad thought as he finally came to the conclusion of his current predicament. As the saying goes "Seeing is believing" he pretty much came to that conclusion as soon as saw a bunch of guys at the courtyard releasing energy.... blade waves?
It also seems that he has been adopted by the patriarch of the "Feng" clan, he was that red haired guy who picked him up.
Which makes him now a prince!!!!!
A few years later
Vlad learned the native language and he'll living the life of a small prince, things are going well until one fateful day.
Da Dah Dam!
The aptitude test.
You see everyone in the clan undergoes the aptitude test to see their potential and to see what cultivation path they should take.
Vlad is in despair.
Apparently it is discovered in the test that he doesn't have a "dantian" (an organ that is used to cultivate) so now he's turned from the young prince of the Feng clan to the trash of the Feng clan. It only made things worst due to that fact that he's adopted.
This is a cultivation world where strength means everything and those without it are as good as trash to be stepped upon. Those who were previously jealous of his position all of a sudden all came out of the woodwork and seized this opportunity to stomp one him and those who were previously nice to all of a sudden unveils their true face.
Ever since his aptitude test everyone has a sudden 180* degrees turn on attitude regarding him.
It changed from showering him with praises for every single action he takes to contempt and reticule, and lately they even started bullying him! From tripping him over to reducing his rations, they're trying to his life a living nightmare.
Vlad wanted to retaliate but how could he? It's not just the kids who're bullying him, the servants and elders of the clan too are oppressed him. These scumbags cited the nonsensical reason that since he can't cultivate than stay at the manor is simply a waste of resource and therefore he should just move out and stay.... "Ah yes there was that run dawn shed that hasn't been used in ages he could use that" the grand elder said.
And everyone is like "yes yes I agree" "yes definitely" "he's an outsider anyway"
And to add insult to injury they even denied him his monthly allowance! you know for food and stuff
When confronted they simply points to the grass and trees around saying that he could just eat them!
It really is infuriating! But what could he do?
While a child is no match for an adult in the best of days but what he's facing isn't just an adult but a whole group of adults and god knows what nonsensical bull crap cultivation realm they're in.
It's simply impossible for the current Vlad.
It's at his greatest time of despair Vlad turns to god for guidance.
Now Vlad was never a. Religious man but a desperate man would turn to anything for a slither of hope.
And so he prayed (in Latin to add to the authenticity).
"AVE MARIA, gratia plena, Dominus tecum. Benedicta tu in mulieribus....."
As he's praying a miracle occurred as he recited the prayer a godly energy starts to flow into him.
Vlad was startled and found that his body is full of energy.... it's as if it's like he can cultivate!
No... this isn't cultivation... it's something else.
Well whatever it is Vlad Will take it.
