He could remember exactly when the last time he had felt so good was. He was still six years old, a few days from his seventh birthday. That day he felt like the world was in the palm of his small hands, as though nothing would be able to stop his steps.

He had already had his eyes on various records, wanting to break them all. He thought he could reach the Sky God Realm in one bound, he had never taken the ages of those so-called "geniuses" seriously.
