Bab 4: System And The Mysterious Man (2)
While in his second life, he was born with a golden spoon, the only son of the matriarch of the Dracon Clan, one of the best clans on the continent, but he was not able to enjoy his status.
Alex could have had all the wealth in the world, but alas, he lacked cultivation talent and was unable to cultivate the spirit Qi between heaven and earth.
For some unknown reason, Alex would feel pain all over his body the moment he tried to absorb some QI, so he couldn't cultivate. His father, the patriarch, tried everything he could to help him or at least find the problem with his body, but he couldn't find anything. This disappointed him, but luckily his father and mother loved him, especially his dear mother, who cried all night after learning that her son couldn't cultivate.
In the world of cultivation, where only the strong have a say, being unable to cultivate means that your fate is already sealed, not to mention that a normal cultivator's life span is longer than a normal mortal's life span. How can she bear watching her only son age before her eyes?
Now let's get back to the main point. He was bullied and looked down upon by others due to his inability to cultivate. As a result, he had a weak personality and disliked socializing; you could say that he was somewhat of an introvert.
After several years, Alex reached the age of 17. His skin was paler than the white snow at the start of winter, making it obvious how underweight and unwell he was. His frail figure could not be concealed by his clothing.
One day, Alex made the decision that enough was enough. He didn't want to continue living in such a way, so he sneaked out of the clan at night in search of a solution to his body problem.
"Hah…" Alex sighed deeply; the more he remembered his second life, the worse his headache became.
"What the hell was I thinking that day?" Alex wanted to slap himself.
How could a 17-year-old boy find the solution to his problem if his father, the head of a powerful clan, couldn't? All he could do was endanger himself, which is precisely what happened.
A Grade 1 beast attacked him shortly after he snuck out of the clan, leaving him with little chance to survive; it was a stroke of luck that he was able to come out alive.
The beast had just broken through and wasn't yet familiar with his strength. Seeing Alex, who didn't have any strength, as an easy target, the beast attacked.
The 17-year-old was in a perilous situation, and because his father was unaware that he had escaped, he was unable to protect him.
Alex had the good fortune to never skip a day of practice since the day he held a blade in hand, even though he couldn't cultivate. While welding a blade, Alex experienced this incredible feeling that he had never felt before.
Because of this, he was devastated to see his dream crushed in front of him when he realized he couldn't cultivate.
Alex tried to also attack the beast, but it was faster than Alex and had flesh that was as hard as steel, making it impossible for Alex to get past its defenses.
Alex got injured by the beast and was on the verge of dying; luckily for him, a cultivator of his clan was passing by this area and heard the sound of fighting.
He panicked when he got there and saw Alex in a nearly lifeless condition.
He dashed straight toward the beast that was attempting to rip off Alex's head because, despite the fact that no one liked Alex, and he was considered the trash of the clan, he was still the patriarch's son, and something bad would happen if Alex died.
The cultivator quickly pulled out his sword and slashed toward the beast.
The beast couldn't even react as it was cut in half; it couldn't even defend itself, clearly demonstrating the difference in their cultivation levels.
The cultivator approached Alex after he had easily defeated the beast and fed him a pill. Alex, who had fallen into unconsciousness, was now only partially awake and feeling the soothing effects of the drug.
He was able to focus on the cultivator for a brief period of time while keeping his eyes open, and his body was beginning to feel better. When the cultivator saw that Alex was getting better, he sighed with relief and carried Alex on his back toward the clan.
The last thing Alex thought as he slipped into unconsciousness while riding on the cultivator's back was how grateful he was to the cultivator for saving his life.
Back at the mysterious place, Alex was still immobile and suspended in mid-air, lost in thought.
"I should probably show my gratitude to the cultivator who saved my life," Alex murmured to himself.
"What's next? "
"Where is this place, and how do I get out of here?"
A mysterious voice rang out while Alex was considering how to leave this place.
"So you're finally here."
Alex's thoughts abruptly came to an end when he heard the voice. He made an effort to move to where the sound was coming from, but he was still immobile.
"Oh!"
"Stupid me, I'm sorry, I forgot that you couldn't move." The mysterious figure said,
"I will fix that," he added. Alex could tell it was a man based on his voice.
Suddenly, many dazzling rays of light shone on him, and the darkness that surrounded him suddenly vanished as if it had never existed in the first place.
The sudden influx of light almost blinded him. After rubbing his eyes, he saw a throne before him, and on it was a mysterious-hooded figure.
His heart started to beat faster, and his mind became a mess as he stared at the mysterious figure.
"W-who are you?"
