(3rd Person POV)
{Location: Bliss town, a small town near the Worth Woodsea forest}
" Get the bastard!" A middle-aged shopkeeper could be seen yelling at a crowd of people.
" Not again." Someone from the crowd complained.
" The brats got to stop doing this shit. If he steals from someone important, he'll be put behind bars."
All these people were talking about one kid, this kid being Ethan, an infamous shoplifter around these parts.
" Try and catch me if you can, you old fart!" Ethan taunted everyone as he ran as fast as he could, to escape from the mob that was chasing him.
Ethan was a 7-year-old of average height (around 3'8 ft), with medium-length bright red hair. He was sporting a worn-out white dress shirt, with red trousers. Though his most distinctive feature was a triple set of parallel, linear scars.
[ Ethan's look > Image here ]
*Bump*
As Ethan was running he accidentally bumped into someone.
*Huff*
" We finally caught you, you stupid brat."
The person he bumped into was someone that was chasing him. As Ethan looked back he realized the mob of people was closing in on his location, due to this he did the only thing that came to mind. He made a break for it into the Worth Woodsea, a dangerous forest where no one would follow him.
<<<<<<>>>>>>
[ 5 Minutes Later ]
*Huff*
" Thank god no one followed me. I thought I'd lose the food I got." Ethan spoke, gasping for some air.
*Huff*
" At least I got to get some food to eat."
Ethan's childhood was not a pleasant one. After his mother died from birthing him, he had been left to fend for himself on the streets. Due to this, he was much more mature than your average seven-year-old, but that was simply because he had to be, or he would be killed.
[ I explain his backstory much more in-depth in the later chapters. ]
As Ethan sat in a clearing to eat he suddenly heard a noise.
*Growl* A low-pitched growl came from behind Ethan.
As he turned around to see what had made the noise he froze in fear and shock. For behind him was a medium-size tiger.
" He-hey." Ethan stuttered as he started walking back in fear. Though it proved to be the wrong choice as the tiger started creeping up, stalking its prey.
*Roar* Was the only noise Ethan heard as the tiger pounced, though due to his fast reflexes that were trained from years on the streets Ethan was able to move to the side just in time.
*Roar!* The tiger snarled once more, enraged at the way that someone that should have been easy prey dodged its attack.
" Shit," Ethan muttered as he made a break for it.
As Ethan continued running he eventually ended up at a dead-end, and behind him was none other than the tiger he had just escaped from.
" I'm so dead, so very, very dead," Ethan spoke as tears started running down his face.
In a last-ditch effort to survive Ethan reeled his hand back and punched as hard as he could. Due to Ethan's strong will to survive something in his body snapped, and as the fist came into contact with the tiger's abdomen; the tiger suddenly turned into a bunch of cubes along with the surrounding area.
As that happened Ethan suddenly felt incredibly drained, and due to it, he passed out.
<<<<<<>>>>>>
{Location: Near where Ethan was}
An old man could be seen strolling in the forest. He had a unique look to him.
*Boom*
" What was that noise?" The old man thought as he walked towards where the noise came from.
As he looked at the clearing and saw the ground turned into cubes and a young red-haired kid in the middle of it, he instantly understood what had transpired here.
" For someone so young to unlock such dangerous magic. How pitiful for something to force such a young boy to use something so disastrous. He really can't just be allowed to just walk around while harboring such dangerous magic."
At that moment, the old man had made a decision. A decision that would go on to change the very course of this world.
" It seems like I'll have to take an apprentice once more." The old man spoke with a sigh.

It's back!
I hope you all enjoyed this chapter, I know it's quite short, but I just wanted to set things up for the future.
Anyways, you guys should know this is a rewrite, and there will be quite a bit of change to the story. If you guys have read the story prior to the rewrite then you should be able to tell the level of changes there are.
I won't reveal all of the changes right now, but I will explain some of them.
Starting off, the MC isn't a transmigrator anymore, but merely an OC. This was because in the original the MC did not have any knowledge of this world, even though he had transmigrated. Which kind of ruined the point of a transmigrator.
Next up, I will try and make longer chapters instead of splitting them up into 15 parts like I did prior lol.
The writing quality should increase drastically compared to before, and anyone who has read Supreme King should see why. Due to the amount of effort, we put into that ff, my editor and I have gotten much better at writing stories.
That goes over all the changes I wanted to shed light on right now.
