Chapter 2：New World (1/2)

Sam slowly open his eyes only to see endless darkness around him. ahead of him a few feet away there stood a young man who seems to be in his early thirties as his gaze was directed towards him.

The man has an extraordinary bearing to him that makes one feel as though they are watching a superior being.

The handsome face, sword-like eyebrows, sharp gaze everything only made the bearing more Majestic.

'Am I dead? Or am I still alive? Or is this a hallucination?' Sam thought to himself. At this moment the Majestic young man suddenly spoke.

”You are really dead. You are currently in your soul form which I captured. I am Ling tian.”

”So, you are saying that you captured my soul after I was shot dead?” Sam asked with an astounded gaze.

”Yes”. Ling Tian replied

”Why?” Sam asked bewildered. He didn't get why he was still here and can't believe this situation. It all felt like a dream to him. He didn't believe a soul exists until now.

”Because I saw potential in you which was far from realized. Your previous world so small for your Intelligence.

So, I will give you a chance. A chance to realize your full potential, A chance to live again in a world where only your imagination can limit you. Ling Tian replied.

”There are other worlds with life?” Sam was surprised again. Even when he is alive, he never felt this shocked in a single day.

”There are more things to be surprised about kid. This universe has more things to offer than you can imagine. You will learn it slowly.” Ling Tian replied.

Hearing that Sam was completely bewildered. everything still felt like a dream to him. He went into deep thought. 'Well, I have nothing to lose anything anyway.'

”Sure, but what should I do there? Sam asked

”Live your life to the fullest. Ascend the highest peak where you can look down on anyone under the heavens. Then we meet again.” Ling Tian replied.

Sam seemed confused by the answer.

”Before I send you, I will give you some knowledge. They are language and some cultivation techniques you will require. You cannot pass down any of these techniques to anyone because they are specifically created for your body constitution and your spiritual Core.” Ling Tian continued.

”What are the cultivation techniques? What is spiritual Core you mentioned.” Sam asked with confusion

”Hahaha don't worry you will know when you arrive in your new body.

By the way, there is a final test waiting for you down there that is to find the best contract around you as your first contract if you pass the test, you have a present there, if you fail then think as I granted this life to you can live as you like and forget whatever I said earlier.”

After Ling Tian finished everything turned completely dark and Sam lost his consciousness.

When Sam opened his eyes again, he felt a great headache as he saw the clear blue sky and floating clouds.

He felt a searing pain on his stomach as slowly moved to stand up and he observed his surroundings.

He realized he is in the middle of some woods. The ground around was completely razed as if it was plowed. He checked his body when a searing pain increased at his abdomen.

When he saw it clearly, he was shocked. there are two holes in his stomach as if he was stabbed by something. Each hole is around 2 inches wide.

But for some reason, the blood stopped flowing from the holes.

He stood there dazed for some time thinking if it was a dream or not then suddenly a piercing headache started as a set of unknown memories entered the mind.

His soul entered the body of a 15-year-old boy whose name is also Sam. He doesn't have any last name because he is an orphan. He is a tailor who lived in a nearby village named Lava rock village.

He made a living off of his tailoring skills by selling clothes he made from the silk he obtained from the silk moths in the woods.

As per his routine when he came to the woods to collect silk, few kids of his age started running towards him.

Only then realized that they were being chased by a bull-like beast. Then they purposefully directed the beast towards him and the beast pierced him with its horns and that's how the original owner died. Sam sighed as he thought.

'Guess I can't escape the fate of being an orphan in this lifetime too.' As he thought up to this, he slowly made his way towards his village while enduring the pain.

When he entered the village, he was shocked for some time when he saw the scene in front of him.

The scene before reminded him of the medieval period. the streets are not clean at all. All the houses are made of mud walls and only some select few are made of stones in a certain area.

Then something came to his mind. The good-looking multiple story houses belong to the village officials, while the mansion belongs to the village head.

The average-looking house belongs to village guards and hunters or some relatively well-off families with rather highly regarded professions.

Normal mud houses belong to Farmers and labor and others. To his surprise even though the original Sam is an orphan he also has a stone house which is both his shop and his house.

While Sam was walking towards his house all the people are watching him with surprised expressions and whispering to each other.

Just when he reached his house and about to open his door, he heard someone calling him.

”Hey Sam, you are here. What happened to you exactly that Oliver said that a 'Blazing earth bull killed you in the woods.”
