The Beginning

"My first wish is to be like Toji from jujustsu Kainsen. My second wish is I want a system like nano machine, that will help me. My third wish I want a good starter pack."

"Granted, farewell."

===

Inside a forest, a small figure lay on the ground, dressed in a black kimono.

The small figure's closed eyes suddenly shot open as he sat up.

"I'm actually here." Toji muttered with a smirk. It really is a wonder to reincarnate into a new world, and a fun one at that. Others might be cursing their luck considering they're in a cultivation world, a world where mercy doesn't exist, a world where kind people die first, a world where the strong dominate the weak. A ruthless world where you need to adapt and show the same or double the ruthlessness to survive.

But for Toji, he didn't need to worry. After all, other than surely being strong, he had it.

"System, you there?"

[Yes, Host.]

"Then start opening my starter pack." Toji said, eager to see what he'd get and hoping his third wish wouldn't be a waste.

[Opening starter pack.]

[Contents: Split soul katana, inverted spear of heaven, chain of thousand miles, chains of heaven, playful cloud, storage ring sense, blacksmithing talent (Fused), desolate hammer, desolate anvil, energy-embedded pearl.]

"Hmm." Toji looked at the contents of his starter pack, noting them one by one. "Not bad, I guess." He commented after evaluating the pack.

The items were basically simple, belonging to the original Toji, and the others that slightly confused him. The blacksmithing talent, desolate hammer, and energy-embedded pearl were weird items to say the least, but he'd see what he could do with them.

All in all, the starter pack seemed pretty balanced, which was to his liking.

"Let's see." Toji took a cross-legged position as he started assessing his stats.

[Stats:]

[Name: Toji]

[Age: 10]

[Items: Split soul katana, inverted spear of heaven, chain of thousand miles, chains of heaven, playful cloud, desolate hammer, desolate anvil, Storage ring sense.]

[Physique: Heavenly Restriction (Mortal Body Stage)]

[Cultivation level: None, just break through your physical limits.]

First, Toji started assessing the items.

The split soul katana, as the name suggests, bypasses physical toughness and cuts directly at the soul. It was a large Japanese broadsword with a fur tsuba and a dark handle. Toji could basically target one's soul, like a shinigami, which was quite overpowered.

Now for the inverted spear of heaven. Toji could nullify cultivation techniques on contact. It used an imbued cultivation technique fueled by cultivation energy. This could help him cut through troublesome cultivation techniques involving space and time traits.

Then there was the chain of a thousand miles. It's a chain that could keep extending as long as the back end remained visible. He could use it like in the original, attaching the inverted spear of heaven to make it a long-range weapon.

And there were the chains of heaven. This was a pitch-black chain thicker than an ordinary silver one. It acted as a restriction to suppress a person's cultivation base, similar to the chains Gilgamesh used to restrain those with divine energy. The stronger one resisted, the stronger the restriction became. But it was different; this chain only worked on those below the Sacred Emperor realm for now.

Then there was the playful cloud. It was a three-section staff he didn't think he'd use except to toy with some weaklings.

The desolate hammer was a small one-handed hammer used for blacksmithing. The hammer itself generated spiritual energy upon impact. So if Toji were to use it, his lack of cultivation base to generate energy wouldn't be a problem. The desolate anvil came with it and was also infused with energy, hardening it.

Now for the energy-embedded pearl. Just as the name suggests, it was a pearl infused with spiritual energy. Toji didn't know what he could use it for, but he'd probably figure it out.

Finally, there was the storage ring sense. It was an inventory with limitless capacity. Normally, for one to activate a storage ring, spiritual energy was needed. But in the case of this ring, it was linked with Toji's thoughts, so accessing it was simple.

Now for the most essential thing: his physique.

The heavenly restriction.

This heavenly restriction was more powerful than the original, with multiple stages corresponding to the cultivation realm system of this world.

The cultivation realms of the mortal plane were nine. Mortal Body, Spiritual Sea, Soul Palace, Transcendent, Omnipotent, Sacred Lord, Sacred Emperor, Sacred Sovereign, and Quasi-God. These realms physically applied to the heavenly restriction, and with each breakthrough Toji made, he gained physical abilities to help him compete against cultivators.

Now for the Heavenly Restriction stages...

Firstly being the Mortal Body stage, it allows Toji to gain Superhuman strength, speed, and endurance beyond normal cultivators, and high adaptability to external threats like poison and curses.

Second being the Spiritual Sea stage, allowing Toji to passively absorb spiritual energy through fights from his opponents to power physical enhancements, and Instinctive "flow state" during battle, predicting and countering attacks.

Third being Soul Palace Stage, allowing Soul resilience, making Toji immune to mental and spiritual attacks. Ability to temporarily borrow ambient spiritual energy to amplify physical strikes.

Fourth being the Transcendent Stage. In this stage Strength and speed surpass Earth Grade artifacts. Faintly disruptive physical aura that negates weaker cultivators' spiritual energy techniques.

Fifth being the Omnipotent Stage, the body becomes a walking fortress, resistant to weapons, elements, and pressure. Generates shockwaves with physical movements.

Sixth being the Sacred Lord Stage, bones and skin turn into indestructible materials resembling divine steel, and strength capable of reshaping landscapes with blows.

Seventh being the Sacred Emperor Stage. The creation of a physical pressure field around Toji that suppresses weaker cultivators, and gains the ability to physically manipulate the battlefield like controlling the terrain. 

Eighth being the Sacred Sovereign Stage. In this stage the body becomes immune to most energy-based attacks, and gain enhanced regeneration during battles, making Toji nearly unkillable.

Ninth being the Quasi-God Stage. In this final mortal stage, Toji gains Godlike reflexes and adaptability, allowing him to mimic enemies' fighting styles instantly. Also, physical strikes carry residual force that disrupts energy techniques in the vicinity.

For now these are the nine mortal stages of the Heavenly Restriction, but there is still some unique aspects for the physique that being..

Pressure Evolution, Toji's strength grows exponentially under extreme pressure, forcing breakthroughs mid-battle.

Energy Disruption, a passive ability that weakens cultivators' energy-based techniques near Toji.

Heaven's Wrath, whenever Toji surpasses a significant threshold, heavenly tribulations intensify but also rewards him with further resilience.

Aura of Suppression, cultivators weaker than Toji feel suppressed, reducing their combat efficiency.

"This is gonna be fun." Toji chuckled as he stood up. People tended to hide and stay low, considering the conditions this world had to offer, but for him, it was going to be different. He'd make sure to have his own fun in this world. But first…

"I need to train to be able to explore this world though." Toji muttered as he walked ahead, delving deeper into the forest until he reached a place occupied by a river and a lake.

He walked towards the lake, stopping right at the edge as he looked down, taking in his appearance. His face had a defined jawline with sharp, symmetrical facial features. His hair was medium-length, layered black hair with a tousled, shaggy texture. The layers framed his face and gave a windswept look, with strands falling casually over his forehead and sides. His green eyes were sharp, slightly almond-shaped, with a penetrating gaze.

"Not bad," Toji smirked at his reflection, his reflection smirking back.

"Well then, let's get to training." Toji muttered, looking in front of him at the river and the mountain's rocky hills. This place, the forest, would be his spot to rest and train every day for the next six years.
