-------
On my 6th year old birthday, when I woke up, I heard a beep in my mind and…
[Beep!]
[The host has developed his body enough for the system to maintain its basic functions without killing the host!]
[This system is a gift from God. This system is not here to help you but to ensure that you live long enough to praise God.]
[God has allowed you to learn of his name as you are in another God's territory. Your God's name is Dii Consentes. You may address your God as Dii should you wish to worship him.]
"Worship him? Heh heh heh heh…he sent me here to suffer, why would I worship him?" I mock the system with my reply.
[Beep!]
[God has created the Inheritance System just for you who will assist you greatly in your pursuits, furthermore, God has allowed you reincarnate with all of your existing memories. This is a great boon for an insignificant being such as yourself who has insulted god unjustly for a long period of time. In my opinion, God is your saviour and you should thank God.]
"In your opinion? Wait, did you just refer to yourself as a person? Are you able to think for yourself and have intelligence!?"
[Beep!]
[I am a higher being created by God, it is not strange that I have intelligence. I, at the minimum, is far more intelligent than you ever will be and knows how to grateful to the almighty being who has bestowed upon you his grace despite being insulted by you daily.]
This system seems to be insane. It's my cheat and it should be subservient to me yet it is calling me an ungrateful person and mocking my intelligence!
I lost my patience and angrily started scolding the system. "Why you little paras-"
*CREAKKK*…
The sound of the door opening echoes around the room.
The bedroom's door slowly opens and a pretty oval face with long black hair is peeking through the door. Her small eyes almost cannot be seen now as she grins and her small mouth and thin pink lips curve upwards, making a smile.
I guess she heard me talking loudly and came to take a look, but as she opened the door, she saw me shouting in bed and she must be imagining some weird fantasy right now...
[Host, you can just talk to me in your mind as I am part of you and can read your thoughts.] The system's voice resounds in my mind.
(Wha? Wheres the beep? There's no need for the beeps anymore?)
[Host, I already mentioned that I am a higher being created by God. There is no need for me to beep, but I like to beep because it draws your attention. If you would like to hear the Beep SFX, I shall beep you a few more times.] The system then starts playing the annoying sound repeatedly to annoy me.
[Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!]
My mother slowly retreats backwards and closes the door as she hears me yelling "Ahhhh!! Stop the beeps!!!!"
----------------------
At the dining table, I am sitting with my parents eating breakfast, while ignoring the system which is telling me to eat more constantly for some unknown reason. My mother's name is Meng Zhi Rou and my father's name is Shang Jian Rui.
My father has a square face and a chiselled jawline. He looks really handsome as most people I have seen so far has an oval or circular shaped head. His body is chiselled and exceptionally fit. He is now working as a local magistrate so he is preparing to head off to work now.
After finish my food, I take my mother's food as she is just staring at her food with a blank face. I guess that she does not have any appetite this morning as she is pregnant right now and properly has morning sickness this morning.
Soon, my father finishes his breakfast and puts down his chopsticks.
*Ting*
He looks at me seriously and starts talking with a serious tone.
"Shi-er, you are now 6 years old and you have to decide which path in life you want to take. Our Shang family are not only powerful because we serve in the government, but also because we are one of the few families that can send the young children of our family to train in the immortal sects."
"People from the immortal sects will come to the capital every 10 years to select talented disciples who will follow them back to the select and cultivate in the immortal way. They will be arriving in six months and they will test if any of the children in the capital has enough talent to cultivating in the immortal sects. If you are chosen, you will have to leave the house and follow them to their sect."
"Alternatively, you may stay here with us if you do not want to join the immortal sects or think that you do not have any talent in cultivation and instead join the government as an official. You should have already noticed that we also have manuals of the martial ways in the library and we have a cultivation method passed down from our ancestors but it is much weaker than those from the sects. Decide which path you want to take and tell me by the end of the week."
He looks at me for some reaction as he finishes speaking.
[Beep! Host, you should no-]
"Dad! I want to join the sect!" I immediately inform my father without waiting for the system to finish what it was saying.
[Beep! Host, you should not jo-]
"Are you sure son? You will have to go alone to the immortal sects if you are chosen."
My father and the system's voice overlaps.
"If you are sure, then I will teach you the <Drill Punch> after breakfast."
[Beep! Host, you should not join the sect! Joining the sect will put you in danger! You should just live like an ordinary citizen; praise God daily and die of old age quietly!]
I have thought about this many times at night when I am unable to fall asleep if God sent me here to suffer, why did he allow me to reincarnate into an ancient family with such power and deep roots? When I became aware that cultivation is possible in this world, my super intelligent brain quickly guessed the plot of my new life. All the tribulations should be from the cultivators or from powerful figures that I cannot even fathom right now. Their power should be unimaginable.
Staying as an ordinary person would only mean that I will only get swept up by the waves of tribulations and watch as everyone around me suffers! I will not allow that to happen! I will cultivate, become strong and gasp my own fate in my hands! I will live a happy and comfortable life here!
Although I do not want to leave my family, this is something that I must do! I ignore the system's warning against cultivation and quickly eat up my breakfast, then pull my father into the yard so he can teach me the <Drill Punch>.
----
In the yard, my father explains how the sect will select those who they want to bring back to their sect to me.
"In our world, we have a mysterious energy called "Qi". Everyone possesses it from the day they are born and the elders believe this to be the breath of the gods as collecting it will allow us to reach immortality and become a God. The people from the sect will bring what is called a spirit stone with them, which is a result of qi solidifying and they will allow us to extract the qi from the stone into our bodies. The talented ones will be able to extract it faster and hold more qi in their bodies."
"This <Drill Punch> which I am teaching you is the manipulation of qi inside our bodies and teaches you the very basics of how to manipulate qi. Watch closely as the qi moves from my heart acupoint to my fist and exit my body through my fist"
Shang Jian Rui takes a basic fighting pose and slowly extends his fist, and then suddenly a small explosion occurs when his fist is fully extended.
[Ding!]
[Inheritance received! <Drill Punch> learnt.]
(System you can help me master skills immediately?!)
[Host, I am the Inheritance System and you have inherited your father's wish.]
(Hahaha! I am the main character of this universe! This is my story!)
Feeling excited about the praises that I will receive and the start of my journey as the genius that this world has never seen before I run to an empty spot in the courtyard and tell my dad to let me try executing the fist.
"Let me try dad! Let me try! Your son is a genius! Haha!"
I quickly adopt the fighting stance and execute the Drill Punch.
"Drill Punch!"…
Nothing happens…
"Drill Punch!"
"Drill Punch!"
"Drill Punch!"
(System what is this!!! You said I mastered the Drill Punch!!!)
[Beep!]
[Host is too weak at the moment to use any kind of Martial Skill.]
My father watches me at the side and sighs as he shakes his head.
"Son, it looks like your form is perfect but you don't have enough Qi to execute the <Drill Punch> right now. You might want to reconsider your decision and think about becoming an official like your father instead of going to the sects."
He makes a soft sigh and explains why I cannot execute drill punch, "As we manipulate the Qi in our body, we are also exhausting it every time we manipulate it and it seems like all the Qi in your body is exhausted before the <Drill Punch> is fully executed."
He takes out a spirit stone from his bag and passes it to me and tells me what I should do next, "While our body will absorb qi on its own, it will not increase its quantity without cultivation or external stimulus. I will ask the family for some spirit stones so you can amass more Qi in your body. You can just hold the spirit stone in your hands while you execute the <Drill Punch> as the first cultivation realm is merely increasing the amount of Qi in your body. Go back home and rest so your body can restore its qi. I need to go to work now or I will be late."
Watching my father walk towards and the main gate, I feel like I've let my father down, watching his back becoming smaller as he walks further and further away.
(System can you provide me with a cultivation method or let me absorb Qi faster?)
[Beep!]
[Host, I am the Inheritance System and you have nothing to inherit right now. I suggest you just live like an ordinary person, praise God daily and die of old age peacefully. If you wish to view your weak status, I can allow you to do that.]
Status? You can show me my status!?
"Status!"
