3 Chapter 2: Arkom Clan
Negg Li was an orphan who was adopted into a clan. He was born with no talent for Body Enhancement or Qi Manipulation. The instructors and masters of the clan tried training the boy in their ways of cultivation, but they lost all patience after 15 years of no results. His peers who were farther ahead in their training compared to Negg, beat him and called him egg and other mean names.
Negg was always determined to become powerful and despite all the discouragement he got from his peers he would still try hard. The other kids who were disgusted by Negg's optimism. One of the kids by the name of Jov Arkom who was from the direct bloodline of the clan got his cousins to beat up Negg. He asked his dad to cover up the fight. His father, who believed people without the family bloodline and had no talent shouldn't be in the clan, covered it up. Negg told Jov's grandfather, the person with the second highest power, about the incident. Jov was punished severely.
Jov's father was furious after he heard about his son being whipped. That same night he slipped into Negg's sleeping quarters and kidnapped him. He brought him to a old shed that was no longer in use. He then started to beat Negg for 3 days. When he finally decided to kill Negg he saw a sparkle in his eyes. It was like he changed into a different person. By then it was too late and his fist hit Negg ending his life. Jov's father left and didn't move the body. These last few seconds of Negg's life was seen by your black friend: Bill Cosby.

Bill Cosby opens his eyes again to an unfamiliar dark area. His body feels different and the name "Negg" feels attached to him. The strength that he had felt like it was sucked out of him and his mind was adjusting to the lengths of his new limbs, the physical abilities of his new body, and calculating the memories of the previous host.
"Hello?" Bill Cosby recognized his voice changed and cracked, and tried to reach for his throat when he realized his arms were bound along with his legs. He struggled against the restraints on his body, but to no avail. He looked for something sharp to cut them on.
He saw the moon glinting off a piece of metal so he rolled across the floor in its direction. After a good 500000 milliseconds(I think) he made it over to the piece of metal. He saw instead of it being sharp, it was just a normal metal ring.
The ring was around a white skeletal finger that lie in the ground. In the body of the skeleton, that was halfway in the ground, was a knife and a bag full of old equipment. Bill Cosby faced his back towards the knife. Some of his fingers were broken and he struggled to coil them around the handle of the knife.
He had bruises around his body, but he couldn't feel them they only hindered his movements. He grasped the knife and moved his wrist to remove his restraints. 20 minutes of rapid wrist motion and friction finally cut through his bonds.
"Bill Cosby" The voice of Morgan Freeman resonated in the dark shed.
Bill looked around for a little bit after nutting and then heard the voice again "Bill Cosby over here."
Bill finally looked at the ring and said "Is that you Morgan how are you talking to me right now"
"I will be a guide for your life as a gift from Big Nib." Said Morgan Freeman
"Don't you have more people to judge as a council member" Said bill Cosby
"We only do famous people we let Jesus do the rest of the work." Said Morgan
"What's going on?" asked Bill Cosby.
"You have reincarnated into another person's body with their memories before their death, you must decide what you do now in this new world. Don't worry I'll guide you from this ring." said Morgan Freeman
"What should I do now?" asked Bill Cosby.
"For now all you need to do is wear me." After hearing this, Bill puts on the ring and felt and saw his bruises disappear and his fingers heal.
"This is the ninth time another man's finger has been inside of me desu~" said Morgan Freeman quietly.
Bill than asked "How are you going to help me?"
"I will make you stronger so you can survive in this world," said Morgan.
"What do you mean?" asked Bill Cosby.
"Search your new memories and you'll find your answer." Morgan replied.
Bill went through his new memories and saw himself getting pelted with energy blasts. He thought to himself he would avenge the old him, but then he instantly thought against it. He has no attachment for the stranger's body he's in, plus it's white. He understood what Morgan meant, he saw how this world works. He also understood the disadvantages of being in this sucky body.
"What actions must I take part in to obtain the strength to survive in this cruel world," aspoken Bill Cosby, "The previous owner of this body had no strength in 2 of the 3 life elements and it is almost impossible for me for me to achieve what they did not."
"The answer lies in this one word: Negromancy!" Morgan Freeman's voice reverberated through the shed. Bill Cosby was dumbfounded, "Negromancy what in the brain damaged children is that."
Morgan Freeman started to explain the concept of Negromancy(go to auxiliary chapter for info). After the explanation the ring started to glow. A hologram-like menu that displayed the Negromancy explanation appeared in front of Bill. It contained five tabs at the top: Manual, Stats, Skills, Shop, Updates.
Bill began to read the manual, it contained the summary that Morgan explained to him along with extra details that would be available after an update. He decided to move onto the next tab and looked through his stats. He saw a weird display menu, one he's never seen before:

'Interesting' thought Bill Cosby. He believed with this available to him he could be more respectful towards women and live a happier life than what he did in the past. He was going to check the rest of the functions but-
"I heard noises coming from the shed the other day."
"Are you sure you wanna check it out Jov?"
"What do you take me for, a p**sy? We're gonna see what's happening, and if it's Negg we're gonna kill him."
The voices of Negg's peers could be heard from outside the shed. Bill Cosby who remembered them from Negg's memories knew what would happen if they found him.
"Morgan, what do I do?"
"Bill Cosby, you currently aren't strong enough to withstand their assault. You should hide," said Morgan
Bill looked around for an area to conceal himself, but he found nothing. He panicked and went to a dark corner of the shed and curled up in a ball. Jov and three other kids then walked into the shed and looked around. After looking around, Bill could see his disappointment. Bill Cosby let out a sigh of relief.
"You know I can see you right? Your not a shadow Negg." said Jov while he and the other kids were chuckling.
Bill breath started increasing in speed. He had just started a new life, how could he let it end so soon? The kids were approaching him and he struggled to think of a way out of the situation. The door was blocked by the group who had just entered. The only exit was a broken window that led into a mysterious forest who the previous Negg had never been in before. Out of options Bill Cosby leaped out of the window.
"Get him!" shouted Jov.
Bill Cosby sprinted top speed as he heard the kids quickly catching up to him. He bolted deeper into the forest until he could only see trees and bushes. It was quiet minus the footsteps of the other children and the only noise he heard was a mysterious humming coming from a distance ahead.
