1 New Fang Yuan

On Qing Mao Mountain.

At Fang Yuan's uncle's house.

In the cold night Fang Yuan, who was still a child, was still five years old. Sleeping alone with his twin brother Fang Zheng.

They sleep hugging each other to warm themselves.

They are forced to live as if their uncle, who only wants the inheritance from their parents. Fang Yuan and Fang Zheng were still children, they didn't understand why their uncle was so cruel to them.

At least they are still sleeping on the bed. Fang Yuan, the older brother of Fang Zheng, gave the blanket to keep Fang Zheng warm.

His back was bitten by the cold air making him shiver, but for his brother. Fang Yuan endured the chill.

This is a story where Fang Yuan is neither the Fang Yuan who came from the earth nor the one who returned from the next 500 years.

This was the life of Fang Yuan and Fang Zheng where Fang Yuan did not show his abilities as a genius.

"Brother ..." Fang Zheng thought about Fang Yuan in his sleep, tears formed on the corners of his eyes.

Seeing his younger brother who had nightmare only harbored hatred in Fang Yuan heart.

'If heaven really exists, why would my brother and I suffer this kind of fate. If this is our life, why should we be born in this world? Why don't we follow our parents into the grave? '

Fang Yuan mourned his and his brother's fate. If heaven really did exist, maybe both of his parents were still alive or maybe his uncle and aunt would not treat them like this.

Holding back the cold air that attacked him, Fang Yuan finally fell asleep.

The morning came, Fang Zheng was the first to wake up.

He saw his older brother Fang Yuan pass his part of the blanket to Fang Zheng, an emotion affect Fang Zheng.

Fang Zheng wanted to wake up, but seeing his brother who was still asleep, he woke up slowly, afraid that he would wake him up.

Fang Zheng looked around his room. The sun had slipped through the window.

"New day again ..."

Fang Zheng muttered to himself, he knew that today would be no different from the usual days. He will only be treated unkindly by his uncle and aunt.

Fang Zheng then came out of the room to do the task his uncle and aunt had given him.

Even though they were his nephews, Gu Yue Dong Tu never considered Fang Yuan and Fang Zheng as his family. He treated them like strangers, he gave the twin brothers a daily chore like a servant in the house. 

Fang Yuan woke up from his dream.

He looked around the room. His expression looked surprised and confused.

"What place is this? Why did I wake up in this place? Didn't I fall asleep in my room ? Why am I here?"

Fang Yuan or rather the person who had just taken over Fang Yuan's body.

This person was from earth, moreover, he was a Reverend Insanity reader.

Fang Yuan caught reality.

'I'm in another world ?' Fang Yuan thought for himself.

Fang Yuan is an expert of modern virtual culture, such as anime, manga and novels. He just loves to let loose by enjoying the fantasie around cultivation and magic.

He had often imagined simulations where he went to another world, so this didn't come as a surprise to him.

Fang Yuan easily accepted this accident that had happened.

He began to find out what world he was sent to, he began to examine the body he was in. the body he occupies is the body of a boy.

Then proceed by examining the room where he woke up.

Seeing how the clothes and furniture are in this room, he got some clues.

'It's like in a Chinese novel that I read. but is this really one of the worlds from the stories I read? '

This room seemed familiar to Fang Yuan, but he couldn't remember where he had watched it before.

He starts to walk to the window.

Maybe he can get a clue by looking at how this world looks like.

What he saw through the window was a green and fast mountain village. The village is small but filled with life, but what attracts the most attention is the bamboo building. Many buildings in this village have bamboo as a building material and were built in the ancient chinese style.

It felt like he had already started to remember this place, but it wasn't enough to give him an idea.

Then he looked down, he saw a boy which gave him a family feeling. This boy looked exactly like him, from head to toe. The boy was cleaning the backyard from the garbage, the fallen remains of the trees and the bamboo.

Fang Yuan didn't know, but he just felt that this boy looked like him. When he searched this place, Fang Yuan found no mirror to see his appearance.

If he could see his reflection in the mirror, he might have guessed where he was now.

Fang Yuan tried to observe the boy, the more he paid attention, the more he got the idea where he was.

In the backyard, Fang Zheng was busy cleaning up. He tried to do it well so as not to get scolded by his aunt.

His gaze was full of attention to the trash he had removed.

When Fang Zheng sensed that he was being watched, he lifted his head. He looked around him, but to no success. He continued his work.

Fang Yuan, who saw Fang Zheng's face, finally got enlightened about where he is now. At first he was shocked when he saw Fang Zheng's face, but the shock was overpowered by a feeling of delight

'Am I in the world of Reverend Insanity? Holy shit!'

Fang Zheng felt something again, he raised his head and stopped his work. He saw that Fang Yuan was looking at him from the window, but Fang Yuan made a strange expression.

Fang Zheng wanted to ask what happened, "What's wrong big brother?". He was worried about his brother.

Fang Yuan is the only family member that he has left now.

Fang Yuan heard Fang Zheng talking to him, but he didn't understand anything that Fang Zheng was talking about.

Fang Zheng looked at his confused brother, he felt uncomfortable because of it. He asked, "Is there a problem Big brother?". However, Fang Yuan did not respond.

Fang Yuan walked back to the room, leaving Fang Zheng in his own thoughts.

Fang Yuan felt happy, but that joy was soon replaced by feelings of doubt and afraid.

Why not?, he is in the world of Reverend Insanity, he must become a Gu Master to be able to live like a human in this place. But can he do it? Fang Yuan in RI returned from the future with extensive knowledge and abilities, but the current Fang Yuan only read RI.

Fear engulfed Fang Yuan's mind.

Time elapsed.

Because the current Fang Yuan was a person from another world, he couldn't speak the language of this world.

He only occupied Fang Yuan's body without inheriting his memories.

So the people in the village called him crazy, he lost his memory but still maintained his rationality.

Fang Zheng's younger brother on the other hand, felt very depressed about that fact.

At first he thought it was a joke, the only one he could call his family on was Fang Yuan. But now that Fang Yuan has become like a crazy person, he has lost his memory and looks like a baby who can't understand what adults say.

The task that should have been done by two people, was now borne by Fang Zheng.

Fang Zheng took care of Fang Yuan, but Fang Yuan was not going crazy just unable to speak.

Fang Yuan sometimes called Fang Zheng's name when he was sad, he also showed his kindness feelings towards Fang Zheng.

Fang Yuan knew about his younger sibling's talent, namely a grade A talent. He had read RI, but it just didn't finish or you could say until the last chapter was released.

Time elapsed.

Fang Yuan began to understand the language of this world, he also approached Fang Zheng to maintain relations between their siblings.

Fang Zheng, who was still innocent, was certainly very happy about this, even though his brother lost his memory, he still showed his affection for Fang Zheng.

As Fang Yuan said, everything was only for profit.

If he maintained his relationship with Fang Zheng, wouldn't that benefit him. In the story, Fang Yuan stayed away from his brother because he was very naive. But now, his younger brother realized that his uncle and aunt did not see them as family.

Fang Yuan sometimes made mistakes on purpose and made his aunt scold him, he did this so that Fang Zheng's hatred for their adoptive parents grew.

Finally, when the annual event for aperture awakening.

Fang Yuan had mastered at least the basic things to speak of as well as matters of this world.

He was still building Fang Zheng to his advantage, he had read RI so he had started making plans for his future.

He had neither the knowledge of the future 500 nor the ability to control Gu.

The spring rain quietly rained down on Qing Mao Mountain.

Now is the night before the aperture awakening event.

Fang Yuan looked out of his window, he was still trying to remember the content about RI.

'I've been here for years, I've forgotten a lot about RI's content. But, what am I going to do, I have been transferred to this world, especially in Fang Yuan's body. Am I going to pursue immortality like Fang Yuan or will I try to live my life as a person from the righteous path? '

Fang Yuan began to question his life purpose, now that he was in the world of the story he loved so much, Reverend Insanity. But what should he do? Will he live a life like Fang Yuan? Is he capable? Or is he going to live his life without any purpose? Where does the flow of life take him?

But Fang Yuan's eyes were filled with bright light, he already knew from the start, without thinking he already knew.

'My previous life was very boring, just by watching anime, reading manga, and reading novels that I felt alive. But after I read RI, I couldn't enjoy that anymore. RI changed my perspective on enjoying a story '

Fang Yuan was pensive at his own words.

'In my previous world, I wanted to live like Fang Yuan. Do whatever he wants without following the rules, heaven and earth get in his way but he enjoys his life. Anyone who reads RI will understand how I feel right now. feeling to live like Fang Yuan '

Fang Yuan's mouth curved as he had set his life goal.
