Chapter 3 (1/2)
Chapter 3: Inside the Jail.
When Long Yi wakes up from the chaos within, he finds his entire body aches in pain, making him unable to hold back a groan. He clenches his teeth wanting to sit down, but find his limbs cuffed in invisible locks.
Long Yi looks around the cell he is living in. This must be this world’s prison, built using this unknown white metal. Apart from some small ventilations, the entire cell is sealed closed, with electric sparkling on the white metal. If not because of a ball of light hanging above, he would have thought this is a high-tech prison cell for VIPs.
“What in h.e.l.l is this place?” Long Yi looks at the ball of light above and asks himself.
“Argh!” Long Yi suddenly exclaims, memories that do not belong to him start overflowing inside of his brain, giving him a painful headache. As the pieces of memories slowly recombine, many scenes flash inside of his head as if he has already experienced it.
Long Yi’s pupils gradually dilate. From these memories, he knows this is the land of sword and magic, called Cang Lan continent. Cang Lan Continent has 3 Empires and several colonies. The 3 great empires consist of Ao Yue Empire to the north, Nalan Empire to the south and Kuang Long Empire to the east. The west is the Elven Forest and the Heng Duan mountain range. Elves live in the Elven Forest and Beastmen live within the plains within the Heng Duan’s plains and hills. n.o.body knows what exists on the other side of Heng Duan mountain range, as even devils and G.o.ds can’t pa.s.s through it.
The young man whose body Long Yi possessed has a father who is the patriarch of the greatest family within the Four Great Families of Kuang Long Empire: He is the son of the Ximen Family’s Patriarch Ximen Nu (Nu = Anger). He is eighteen years of age, has a big half-brother and young half-sister (same father different mothers). His big brother, Ximen Tian (Tian = sky), is the leader of the elite Kuang Long military force, and he has been the vice-commander of the army since 28 years old. He has mastered the country’s infamous Kuang Long Dou Qi to the dark-blue color, making him a Master-ranked Swordsman. His little sister Ximen Wu Hen (Wu Hen = no hate), is one of the well-known great beauties in the continent, while she is also already a high priestess at the tender age of sixteen. There is just Ximen Yu who didn’t care to learn any martial arts or magic, and most of the time just focusing in killing and raping for entertainment. His father Ximen Nu wanted to force him under strict discipline, but his overprotective mother – who is definitely not a vegetarian – has always protected him from that situation.
Emperor Long Zhan of the Kuang Long Empire opens his eyes then closes them again. Standing behind him is Ximen Nu, who is feeling the heat at the moment, as n.o.body knows what to do to protect his kid. He didn’t expect the main target of his brat is actually Long Lin Er – the Emperor’s most prided princess, seems like that brat is not going to sit well through this storm.
After pondering for a while, Long Yi can’t help but give himself a smile of ridicule. He was just recently reborn and already is in jail for committing rape. His mother probably will lose face to her family this time.
Long Yi continues to manage his new memories. According to Ximen Yu, Kuang Long Empire’s Four Great Families are Dongfang Family, Nangong Family, Beitang Family and Ximen Family ( Dong -Nan-Bei-Xi is respectively East, South, North and West). In the Four Great Families, Ximen Family holds the greatest power, then it is the Dongfang family. Since the two families have joined force, their power cannot be underestimated.
In this world, magic and dou qi holders are the ones that has power over everything else. Magicians are one of the most well-received professions. At the same time, magic users are really few in numbers, as magic is simply too hard to learn. Aside from diligence, one also need great intuition (or insightful. Westerners can refer to the New Age concept of having to be enlightened, refer to Herman Hesse or Th.o.r.eau). Magicians are separated into different categories: Fire mage, Water Mage, Earth mage, as well as Light mage and Dark mage. There’s also the rare Spirit mage and Necromancer. The levels are divided into: Apprentice Magician, Beginner Magician, Intermediate Magician, Advance Magician, Master Magician, Mage, Archmage, Master Archmage, and finally Magic G.o.d.
Similarly, warriors are also split into Apprentice Fighter, Beginner Fighter, Intermediate Fighter, Advance Fighter, Swordsman, Great Swordsman, Master Swordsman, Sword Saint, Sword G.o.d. The color of dou qi also differs from rank to rank, as Apprentice Fighters don’t have any external dou qi. The colors corresponding to the ranks are respectively light cyan, cyan, dark cyan, light green, dark green, light blue, dark blue, purple and gold.
