RING---- RING---- RING---- RING---- RING---- RING----
Huang Jin was abruptly awakened by a loud noise, causing him to moan in discomfort due to the pain in his back. He struggled to locate the object responsible for the discomfort. As he opened his eyes, his long eyelashes added a touch of beauty to his weary gaze. If anyone were to witness him in that moment, they would be captivated, as if they had glimpsed an angel.
Through his groggy vision, Huang Jin squinted at his phone screen and realized that the date displayed was June 10, 2017.
The sight of date and the tattoo on his wrist jolted Huang Jin awake completely. He found himself filled with questions and confusion. He wondered about the events that had unfolded, desperately trying to understand how it had all occurred. The presence of the mysterious tattoo left him astounded, contemplating whether his supernatural abilities had returned alongside his rebirth...
Huang Jin retained vivid memories of the agony and torment he had endured due to the torture and experimentation inflicted upon him by his own brother.
Tears cascaded from Huang Jin's eyes, their peach blossom hue glistening with sorrow. His entire body throbbed with pain, each sensation serving as a relentless reminder of the anguish he had endured. The memories of pain intertwined with feelings of betrayal, creating an overwhelming emotional storm within him.
"Everything..."
Huang Jin vows to ensure that they will suffer and face revenge for everything they've done.
' 3 years '
With a realization that there was still sufficient time ahead, Huang Jin contemplated the possibilities of achieving everything he desired. If the situation proved to be true, he could seize the opportunity to start anew and rebuild his life from scratch.
As Huang Jin closed his eyes, he embraced the sensation of the vast expanse and the power that resided within him. It filled him with happiness to know that his space manipulation abilities were still intact. Without hesitation, he tapped into his power and transported himself to his own little paradise within the space, eager to explore and harness his abilities once again.
As Huang Jin opened his eyes, he was greeted by an expansive landscape of lush green grass, towering mountains reminiscent of Mount Qogir, and a lake that stretched as far as the eye could see, its crystal-clear waters reflecting the serene blue sky above.
Turning around, his gaze fell upon a charming three-story wooden house, embraced by bamboo trees. A peach tree and an apple tree stood gracefully in the space between the house.
Curiosity piqued, Huang Jin approached the apple tree, plucked a fruit, and took a bite, savoring its incredibly rich and sweet flavor. Suddenly, a familiar sensation washed over him, reminiscent of the energy he had felt when consuming zombie cores in his previous life.
Huang Jin was taken aback by the astounding discovery that the apple had a potency five times greater than that of a zombie core.
The impact of this revelation was immense, as he had managed to advance from the initial stage to the second stage in one swift progression merely by consuming the fruit.
Questions flooded his mind: Was this an item with a single-use effect? Could it be considered a cheat in some way? Despite the uncertainty, driven by instinct, he reached out for another apple and devoured it without hesitation.
After a few moments of contemplation, Huang Jin came to a realization. The incredible potency of the apple had made him question the need to hunt zombies any longer. However, he quickly deduced that while subsequent consumption of the apple was possible, its effectiveness would gradually diminish with each intake. In essence, the fruit retained its power, but in a reduced capacity for a person who has higher level of cultivation.
Suddenly, Huang Jin's attention shifted to the enigmatic wooden house. Puzzled by its presence in his dimensional space, he couldn't help but wonder if his rebirth had brought about this remarkable change. However, setting aside the lingering thoughts for now, he decided to explore the interior of the house, allowing curiosity to guide his steps.
As Huang Jin continued his exploration of the house, he discovered a well-furnished space filled with intriguing elements. The ground floor housed a cozy dining area with a table and chairs, as well as shelves filled with books. A fully-equipped kitchen with a wide range of utensils stood nearby, offering all the necessities for cooking. He even found a bathroom to meet his needs.
Climbing up the stairs to the second floor, he encountered three bedrooms, each with its unique charm. And just when he thought he had seen it all, another set of stairs beckoned him to ascend even higher. Following its path, he was astonished to find himself in a vast and awe-inspiring library, with a wealth of knowledge stored within its shelves.
Amazed by the seemingly boundless wonders within the house, Huang Jin couldn't help but feel a deep sense of gratitude for his newfound space and the opportunities it presented.
Immersing himself in the diverse range of books, including topics on politics and various subjects relevant to the apocalypse, Huang Jin pondered whether his space possessed an automatic mechanism. Could it retain his progress and save the information from when he began reading? The thought intrigued him as he continued to flip through the pages, absorbing knowledge that could prove invaluable in the face of challenging times.
After satisfying his curiosity with the books, Huang Jin closed the door to the library and ventured outside to inspect the lake that had caught his attention earlier.
"So big and so blue. But how? And so many fish".
He exclaimed out loud. Huang Jin marveled at the lake's impressive size and the vibrant shade of blue it displayed. The abundance of fish swimming in its waters caught his attention, leaving him in awe.
Huang Jin lowered his head and was astonished to discover an array of large shells adorned with pearls of various hues. As he observed the shells, bubbles and mist began to envelop the lake, creating an ethereal atmosphere. When the mist eventually dissipated, a breathtaking sight awaited him—a colossal tree, resplendent with a spectrum of vibrant rainbow colors, stood majestically in the center of the lake.
"What is that? It's so beautiful ."
The scene filled Huang Jin with wonder and left him pondering the mystical nature of his dimensional space and its seemingly limitless wonders.
As Huang Jin stood on the floating lotus leaves, his gaze fixed upon the tree, he was captivated by the multitude of lights descending from its branches. Amidst the brilliance, he spotted a crystal that stirred a familiar sensation within him—a crystal reminiscent of the ones he had discovered in a cave during his previous life.
In a moment of clarity, everything clicked into place. Huang Jin recalled the time when he had ventured to N city with a group of mercenaries to scavenge for supplies. Lost in his thoughts, he had unintentionally strayed from the group and stumbled upon a cave. Inside, he had discovered an abundance of rainbow-colored stones that glistened with breathtaking beauty. Motivated by gratitude, he had collected several of these stones with the intention of presenting them to his savior. However, his absent-mindedness during that period had drawn scolding from his companions upon his return to the base.
Sadly, those events became overshadowed by the subsequent capture at the hands of his step brother, causing the memory of the precious stones to fade from his consciousness.
Upon attempting to use his powers to break free from the confines of the lab, Huang Jin experienced a sudden recollection of the place where he had found the rainbow stone. It was at that moment when he first noticed feeling fatigued every time he utilized his abilities. Now, the pieces of the puzzle fell into place, and he realized the reason behind his constant tiredness—the rainbow stone was draining his power and attempting to grow within his dimensional space.
After venturing through the area, Huang Jin, feeling extremely parched, approached the lake and quenched his thirst. However, he noticed that this was not the same lake as before his rebirth. The water he drank tasted incredibly pleasant and delightful, resembling a combination of honey and lemon.
Following his drink, Huang Jin began experiencing contrasting sensations of heat and cold. His bones started to crack and break, while his blood boiled intensely like hot lava and froze like ice. His muscles were stretched to their utmost limits, causing him immense agony reminiscent of past torture. Overwhelmed by the excruciating pain, Huang Jin ultimately lost consciousness and fainted.
Unaware of what was happening, when Huang Jin fainted, he began expelling a viscous black substance from his pores, covering his entire body.
Several hours later, Huang Jin regained consciousness and opened his eyes. The initial observation he made was a sense of stickiness all over his body, accompanied by an unpleasant odor. Alarmed by this, Huang Jin immediately plunged into the lake for a closer inspection. To his astonishment, he witnessed the gradual disappearance of the black goo from his body, akin to the melting of ice.
Upon emerging from the lake, Huang Jin experienced a heightened sense of vitality and a feeling of lightness. He noticed a remarkable improvement in the appearance of his skin, which appeared more radiant and healthy. Additionally, his hair had gained a glossy black shine. Regardless, Huang Jin realized it was time to leave.
After exploring his surroundings, Huang Jin exited his space upon entering his room, he approached the mirror. To his surprise, he saw the reflection of a tall individual standing at a height of 175 cm. This person possessed long, black hair that cascaded down to their waist. Their slender physique was accompanied by remarkably soft and fair skin. Their deep blue eyes resembled the delicate petals of a peach blossom, adorned by lush lashes that exhibited a faint touch of red within the reflection.
"I'm back. I'm really back". Huang Jin exclaimed joyfully, bursting into laughter. Just as he was reveling on the realization of his rebirth, a knock resonated from the door, interrupting the moment.
"Young master Jin are you awake? Breakfast is ready"
A voice called from outside the door.
" It's first day of school".
"I'll be down!" Huang Jin responded. He made his way to the bathroom and took a refreshing bath. Once clean, he selected a black turtleneck long-sleeve shirt and paired it with a stylish wool jacket, black jeans, and matching black boots. After changing into his chosen outfit, he headed downstairs.
