Zhou Long

In a world where beings of diverse races fight each other to achieve immortality and reach the rank of divinity, several groups ranging from righteous clans to demonic sects have come into existence, and one of these groups is a relatively isolated sect known as the "Demonic Blood Sect," a medium-sized sect that lives secluded from the outside world. At this very moment, unbeknownst to most people, within this sect, someone who would shake the world was being born, the first son of the elder widow Lin Fei, a child who, despite being a reincarnate, still retained the memories of his previous life and, thanks to that, was conscious even at the moment of his birth.

"Huh? Where am I?"

???: Congratulations, Elder! It's a boy!

"Whose voice is this?"

Completely confused about his current situation, surrounded by voices he had never heard in his entire life, and unable to have full control over his own body, the newborn, Dante's reincarnation, decides to open his eyes with some difficulty to see what is happening around him and, at that moment, is surprised by the place he is in.

"How did I end up in this place?"

???: He has his father's eyes.

Upon hearing these words, he automatically remembers his death, at the exact moment he was struck and killed by lightning so suddenly, realizing that he not only died but also reincarnated as this woman's son. The woman holding him and whom he judged to be his mother was a very beautiful woman, with flawless skin so well cared for, long and elegant silver hair, and eyes with charming and captivating sapphire-like pupils, not to mention her horns, which not only his likely mother had but also the other woman, which meant that most likely he was not human either, in addition to his attire, which, despite not being familiar with this style of clothing in his past life, still found somewhat elegant, with a mixture of black and gold and several accessories in both his hair and clothes.

"If all this is real, is it serious that I died so pathetically in my previous life? Well, at least in some way I ended up reincarnating, so it's not so bad."

???: Your name will be Zhou Long, in honor of your great father.

"How am I able to understand the language these people are speaking when in my past life I wasn't even from China?"

[Hello, Zhou Long! Welcome to your new life!]

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, after being named by his mother, a strange floating screen appears in front of him, which, by appearing to be ignored by everyone around him, most likely only Zhou Long can see. However, due to the fact that he was reincarnated into another world, such a thing does not surprise him that much because if this world is what he is thinking, something like a System was not entirely unexpected.

[I am the "Demon System," and I will help you on your journey in this world!]

"How did I acquire this System?"

???: Elder, I'll leave you alone. If you need any help, just call us.

???: Alright, I'll spend some time with my son...

"Well, I guess this is the beginning of my new life."

Somewhat confused about what to think exactly about the situation he finds himself in, Zhou Long now finds himself forced to live this life in a world he completely knows nothing about. The years go by, and Zhou Long grows up, spending most of his time with his mother or reading books she allows him to read, this not only helps improve his knowledge of the language but also helps him learn more about the outside world, something he had no contact with during all this time, living only in his house without venturing into the outside world.

---5 Years Later---

Reaching the age of five, Zhou Long had grown enough to bear a resemblance to his mother, he had the same long hair, even whiter than hers, flawless skin, eyes as beautiful and red as rubies, and a small pair of black horns growing on his head. He currently found himself in the small library located within his house, which had been built at his request. As he searched for the book he wanted to read, he immersed himself in his thoughts about what he had discovered so far.

"It's a shame that even though I am one of the young masters of the sect, I still can't leave the house. But I can't blame my mother. In a xianxia world like this, with so many dangers outside, especially in a demonic sect, it would definitely not be safe for the son of a sect elder to venture out at the age of five. So, for now, I'll have to continue reading these books."

After some time searching, Zhou Long finally found the book he had been looking for, however, it was placed too high for him to reach, leaving him no choice but to ask the maid accompanying him to fetch it. Finally getting the book he desired, he went to the nearest table and sat down to begin his reading.

Zhou Long: Thank you, maid.

"Now, let's start reading this book."

The book Zhou Long picked up was the fourth book in the series "Tales of a Fallen Warrior," a series of books that supposedly contained the adventures of a human warrior, not that he was interested in these types of books, as what fascinated him were the parts that discussed the outside world and its incredible aspects, ranging from sects and clans to cultivation paths, martial arts, alchemy, and various other things he couldn't find in specialized books, because his mother prohibited him from accessing anything that could teach him how to enter the cultivation world before the age of eight, which was considered the ideal age to enter the martial world.

"If I had access to the Demon System, I probably would have learned a thing or two by now, but it hasn't appeared on its own again."

After spending some time reading and reaching the middle of the book, feeling mentally tired from forcing himself to read it without much interest, Zhou Long decided to take a break and go see his mother once again to try to ask for permission to leave the house.

Zhou Long: Maid, where is my mother at the moment?

Maid: Elder Lin is in the garden, Young Master. Do you want me to deliver a message to her?

Zhou Long: No, no, I'll go there myself. Thank you for letting me know.

Maid: You're welcome, Young Master!

The maid replied, bowing slightly to him. Descending the stairs to the first floor of his house and then heading to the backyard where the garden was, Zhou Long found his mother sitting in the middle of the large garden on a small marble bench under a small structure also made of white marble with gold accents. Bending slightly to his mother, Zhou Long promptly informed her of his arrival, waiting to receive permission to sit on the bench across from her.

Zhou Long: Greetings, mother, I've finished reading!

Lin Fei: Please have a seat, my beloved son. Tell me why you have come seeking me.

Zhou Long: Well, I think you already know why.

Lin Fei: Why do you want to leave this house so badly...

Zhou Long: Mother, I know this world is dangerous, but I need to venture out one day and see it with my own eyes.

Lin Fei: *Sigh* Well... You have already turned five, so I suppose it's not good to keep you confined here anymore. I will be leaving soon to go to the Zurav city, and I'll take you with me, my son.

"She actually agreed?"

Zhou Long: Thank you, mother. I'll be eagerly waiting.

Lin Fei: You truly take after your father in your desire to explore things. Now come here and give me a hug, my son.

Although he had never truly formed an attachment to anyone in his past life, having a mother who genuinely cared for him was enough to make Zhou Long develop a true love of a son for his mother, even if he still felt somewhat uncomfortable with hugs. Later, standing at the door of their house, both mother and son boarded the carriage that would take them to the city, descending the mountain where the sect was currently located and heading to the city where ordinary people lived.

"Despite all the dangers that lurk in this world, according to my mother and the books, I believe I can live a great life in this world."

As he began his life in a different world, Zhou Long was interested to know the adventures that lay ahead of him while mentally preparing himself for the possible tragedies that could befall him, given the unstable situation the sect was currently in, according to his mother. This was how the reincarnated Zhou Long took his first steps into this marvelous yet dangerous new world.
