Chapter 1: A New Beginning

"So this is how it ends." A man around the around the age of 30's was lying on his back as he floated above the unending body of water.

"I just wanted to have a free life with no worries and endless entertainment, and what does life give me? World War III." His face scrunched a bit as he sighed.

He looked around his surroundings, there was nothing else besides the clear water he was floating on and the mist that covered the area.

"Rather than going to heaven or hell, I end up being stuck in this place for god knows how long." He complained as he backhanded the water, making it splash and cause ripples to appear.

As the ripples spread, the body of water suddenly started to shake, as if earthquake was happening.

"Who dares disturb my slumber!" A voice so loud boomed as the water started to shake even more.

"The name's Qin Yang." The young boy wasn't shaken by the almighty voice. What else could he possibly fear? He was dead, maybe if he was still alive he'd panic, but the dead stays dead.

"A human soul won?" The powerful voice muttered with utter confusion in his voice.

"I told you, my name is Qin Yang." Qin Yang started to get annoyed, was this almighty being deaf or something?

"Mhm, Qin Yang, as the winner of the Starlight Race, you are hereby granted three wishes of your own. You can wish for anything you want, from your imagination to reality as long as you can think of it, it's yours."

Qin Yang was a little shaken. What Starlight Race was this person talking about? Qin Yang was about to ask for more information, however, rationality overtook him. What if this being figure out that he wasn't the so called 'winner' he was expecting?

Although he wasn't afraid of dying anymore, he was afraid that he might be get his soul tortured for eternity if the being in front him was an S.

Qin Yang grit his teeth and went along with it.

"For my first wish, I want a system that can help me develop my attributes and abilities. For my second one, I want to be able to travel to different worlds, fictional and not. As for my third wish, I want a universe of my own, where life can flourish and I can control everything."

"Your wish, is my command. As for your physical body, you may adjust it as you see fit. Good luck!" After saying it's last words, the voice disappeared and didn't speak again.

Qin Yang closed his eyes for a long moment as a new mortal embodiment formed. He had a long, mix of golden and silver hair flowing behind his back. His skin so smooth and pale like a baby, with a face so beautiful and handsome that even a girl would be jealous of.

After a moment, Qin Yang finally opened his eyes and gave out a large grin.

"Because I couldn't have what I wanted with my definition of the peaceful way, we'll do this the hard way."

...

Somewhere high up in the mountains, stood large ruins left over time. Inside the highest point of the ruins was two people, an old man and young boy.

"I wonder when this boy would wake up, how mysterious that the universe did not foretell this meeting." The old man was sitting in a lotus position as his hands lied on the young boy's head.

"His spiritual energy shows great grief and maliciousness, and with it is a great amount of bloodshed. Such a young boy has witnessed a great amount of death. However, a mysterious power looms inside of him, even his hair, I have never seen before."

Just as he was about to place his hand on the boy's chest, the boy's left hand suddenly grasped his hand. The boy had awakened and was looking at him, inducing a great amount of maliciousness in the air.

"Who are you and where am I?"

The old man smiled and ignored his malicious aura. "Isn't it rude to ask someone their name before introducing themselves?"

The boy looked at the old man and the old man looked back. "My name is Qin Yang."

"Qin Yang... interesting." The old man then turned around and spoke, "If you wish to know about my name, follow me."

"Hey, wait!" Qin Yang stood up and suddenly kneeled in pain.

"Careful young one, your body was not in great shape when I found you." The old man's voice called out.

"Stupid old man, wait for me!" Standing up slowly, he followed the old man, ignoring his surroundings as they passed through every ruins and stopped in a high and flat point somewhere in the mountains.

He sat in a lotus position, with his back facing Qin Yang. He patted the ground beside him and spoke in a silent and calm manner. "Come, sit beside me."

Qin Yang raised his eyebrow but didn't say anything and sat beside him. Then at that moment he finally noticed the environment in front of him.

They were so high up in the mountains that all they could see was the mist below and several more mountains standing, but what caught Qin Yang's attention was sunset in the horizon.

"Beautiful, I've never seen such a sight since the war started." He muttered unconsciously, but the old man had great hearing and heard everything.

He chuckled in amusement. "I didn't know that it was that bad in the Fire Nation."

Qin Yang, who was appreciating the view, suddenly shook internally. "Did you just say Fire Nation?"

"Fire Nation, one of the four nations, or should I say three." The old man sighed and spoke in a sad tone. "After since the destruction of the Air Temples, the world has never been the same."

Unbeknownst to the old man, Qin Yang was screaming internally. "Fire Nation and the Air Temples! I'm in the world of Avatar!"

After calming down, he asked, "What do you mean the Fire Nation?"

"Aren't you from the Fire Nation? Yang is a name mostly used there." He raised his eyebrows at him.

After thinking for a while, Qin Yang decided a fake identity for himself. "I'm someone who escaped from a Fire Nation colony in the Earth Kingdom."

The old man looked looked back at the horizon. "And I assume your parents have fallen in the war."

This time, an even more powerful malicious and bloodthirsty aura surrounded him. "They were killed in battle."

"Apologies, it wasn't my intention to remind you of such painful memories." The old man apologized.

Qin Yang slowly calmed down, "It's alright, that was a very long time ago."

The old man snorted, "How could it be a long time for someone around a 13-14 year old kid like you?"

'So I got younger.' Qin Yang thought as he stared at his hands.

Qin Yang looked at the old man for a while and finally spoke up. "Are you gonna tell me your name yet and where are we?"

He smiled and looked at the boy. "I am often called Guru Pathik, and we are currently at the Eastern Air Temple."

'Guru Pathik! One of the oldest people living and the person who taught Aang how to control his Avatar State, or at least he tried to.' Qin Yang was excited to meet such a person but didn't show it outwardly.

"Nice to meet you then Guru Pathik." He politely spoke.

"Likewise, child."
