Reincarnation: Yue Yang!

[10,675KP]

As he stared at that number for what felt like the 6,000th time the small blue ball of flame with a mans face on it turned to the only other occupant in the room and asked, "Why do I have so much karma besides the compensation?"

This is what bothered the blue fireball with a face the most. Not that his universe was terminated for a reason he wasn't privy too, but that he had what could be considered a large amount of karma accumulated without knowing why.

"You stare into space for half an hour and that's what you ask?" The man who looked like a combination of an office worker, body builder and male model shook his head. He picked up a document and went through it before raising an eyebrow.

"Well you certainly have a reason to ask, even if you had lived your life fully you wouldn't have over 90KP to your name. However it seems you really lucked out, do you recall the name Griffin Johnson?" The overly buff and handsome office worker asked in a bored tone.

"That guy who made that major breakthrough in Alzheimers treatment?" The blue flame asked back as the name was fairly famous.

"Yeah, it seems like he was supposed to commit suicide and decided not to after seeing a post about your shitty life. And since he continued his experiments, he made a breakthrough." The celestial office worker said as he put the paper down.

The blue ball of flame was figuratively sweating bullets, it turned out that that post he had left on a suicide website had been the motivation for a genius to keep on living. It was just a rant about his very shitty life to blow off steam and a few people had commented that maybe their own lives weren't so bad after reading it. But even with that, he had never expected that he would have been indirectly linked with the cure for Alzheimers.

With that mystery solved he turned back to the expansive list of things he could purchase with his KP. He had also been thinking about what he wanted and had decided awhile ago. He wanted to reincarnate into Yue Yang in an alternate universe of Long Live Summons. One where there weren't gaping plot holes and he wasn't in a constant rush to get stronger.

He didn't hold back a single point, after all what was the purpose of cultivation if not to obtain eternal life? As for his 5 Inherent Skills in the secondary grimiore? Those were to ensure he would grow more quickly than the original Yue Yang.

Both Growth and Sword Inherent Skills focused on increasing his cultivation speed, one all around and the other geared towards sword techniques and the Innate Invisible Sword Qi.

Nurture and Bond Phenomenon were geared towards improving his beasts and allies. Nurture would leave a Rune in the individuals that it was used on and acted as a weaker version of the Growth skill for them. Bond Phenomenon increases and individuals strength by a rank so long as their Affection, Loyalty or Love exceeds a minimum amount.

Grant Class was the most unique of the Inherent Skills he chose. It would essentially do as the name described and would allow the individuals its used on to develop abilities and skills based on the class quickly. Its use was the widest among the Skills and was the most versatile. With this Skill he could ensure he wouldn't leave behind his allies to much.

As for his two Guardian Beasts, he had improved them to the limit of his points. Infact improving the two beast that would only possess the most rudimentary to Diamond Rank would only waste points and cost him a few of his Skills.

"Finally done? Then get going." With a wave of his hand the celestial office worker sent the blue flame on its way before it wasted anymore time. "Damn I hate when they take forever to make a decision. It's not like they'll ever permanently die, they just won't have memories, yeesh."

*****

"Ah! His eyes moved, he's awake! Xiao San-gege is finally awake!" Yue Yang eyes had not fully opened when he heard a voice as clear as bells ringing at his ears.

"Shuang Er, don't be rude towards your brother…" Then, he heard a warm and gentle, motherly voice that carried an air of motherly love with them.

As Yue Yang opened his eyes, an adorable and lively girl sprang into his view. She was a small girl wearing a bluish-green chinese gown, her pale white arms stuck out of the sleeves. Her hair was braided with red ribbons on two sides and flowed down to her waist. Her pearl white wrist was adorned with a silver bracelet that had a small bell.

The small girl mischievously reached out her hands to pinch Yue Yang's nose.

As her soft, supple arms moved, the bells on her bracelet jingled, sounding much like her crisp and clear giggles.

The original Yue Yang was right. Shuang'er is a lolita of the highest quality! As he gazed at the small girl, suddenly a pair of arms reached out from behind and held onto the mischievous girl, swatting her small hands lightly. Thinking that that punishment for being mischievous was enough, the girl was then drowned in the arms embrace. The small girl was not even afraid and thought that it was fun; giggling away in her mother's embrace. Grimacing at the cute scene in front of him, Yue Yang thought about the fact that he was now truely in another world. His gaze swept across the room and fixed upon the woman behind the small girl, and his heart unconsciously let out a small sigh.

Beautiful, too beautiful. It's almost as if that word was meant to describe only her…

A thirty year old young woman was sitting in front of Yue Yang.

She had delicate features, her complexion white as the moon and her eyes clear as spring. Her small mouth bloomed into a smile that was as gentle and refined as flowing water.

Her lustrous black hair was pulled up high into a bun, barely decorated with a single purple phoenix hairpin, simple and elegant but yet still stylish. Looking at her as a whole, her expression seemed to appear even more beautiful and full of wisdom. Adorned in a sky blue gown and a jade bracelet on her wrist that was hugging the small girl, she was a sight for Yue Yang to see!

The beautiful woman saw that Yue Yang was awake and her smile disappeared. Her jade-white complexion was filled with a grieved and guilty expression, "San-er, don't be so rash again next time. Who gives you the notion to drown yourself in the river when things get hard? Luckily we managed to save you in time, otherwise, how would I… how would I face my older sister? When big sis entrusted you to me, Si Niang, I had already thought of you as my own child. San-er, so many years past, I could never have the heart to punish you. This time you made a big mistake and if I don't make you remember the lesson today, I would be letting my big sister down. Next month, wait until your Fourth Uncle comes back, ask him for a beating as your punishment."

The small girl twitched her little nose and followed along, "Ask him for a beating, "papapa", let him beat you until your butt is swollen!"

Ah? It seemed that the beginning wasn't changed, from what he could tell atleast.

However he found himself sweating a bit, he had forgotten that Yue Shuang'er was way to mischievous. Although his own personality had essentially merged with the one before his memories awakening, he didn't know if he would have the energy to entertain this gluttonous loli....

The beautiful woman looked at the nervous Yue Yang, whose forehead was filled with beads of sweat and face pale as sheets. She thought that he was feeling guilty and looked very cute, so her voice became much gentler, "San-er, it's okay if you understand your mistakes. Young people shouldn't be afraid making mistakes, but it's a problem if they don't learn from their mistakes. Si Niang has watched you grow up and knows that you know what's good and bad for you. It's just that the matter of the daughter of the Xue Family rejecting your engagement had hit you too hard and made you do something rash. San-er, even though Xue Family's daughter is good, if her heart is not set on you, let the engagement go. If you can't share your troubles and happiness with your wife and support each other in troubled times, then you shouldn't even get married. Look at our Yue Family, we are one of the big four families. There are so many girls in this world, did you think you won't be able to find one?"

"Yes." Yue Yang quickly began to act like a good and obedient child.

"San-er, it's good if you understand. Si Niang is relieved now." The beautiful woman had been prepared to persuade him for a long time, but the boy had unexpectedly came around after jumping once into the river. She thought that miracles did exist.

The beautiful woman then told Yue Yang to rest well. She released the small girl and stood up, preparing to leave the room.

The beautiful woman held the small girl's hands and walked towards the door, then suddenly turned back and asked, "San-er, will you promise me that you wouldn't try anything rash? You may look weak but you have a strong mind inside. Even though you might look agreeable on the outside, you have a stubborn heart, that I know. Please don't wait until I'm gone and do foolish things behind my back again… You really won't do anything rash again, right?"

"No, I won't," Yue Yang shook his head, why would he commit suicide? It would be a waste of all the karma he just spent.

The beautiful woman looked at Yue Yang's face that was full of sincerity and her heart felt much better, "Si Niang trusts you, San-er. Don't ever try to kill yourself again. Your parents are not here anymore. Your Fourth Uncle had no sons and I'm infertile, Bing-er is a girl and Shuang-er is still so young. Your father and fourth uncle didn't have anyone else to continue our family's line, so it's all up to you now. Remember this, okay?"

He once more nodded his head with a, "Yes." As he watched the bored Shuang'er shake loose of her mothers hand and runs off.

The beautiful woman called out at the small girl but she didn't listen, so she had to chase after the small girl. Even as she walked out the door, she turned back again and said worriedly, "San-er, don't be too depressed. Even your stupid uncle only managed to fulfil his first contract 1 month before his twentieth birthday. Don't you still have 3 months left? You had worked hard for so many years. It's still not the end yet, do you want to give up now? Nobody from our Yue Family had ever failed to make a contract with a summoning grimoire. Trust me, you won't be an exception…I think, maybe it was because your parents sealed your grimoire when you were young. They didn't want you to successfully made a grimoire contract at such a young age and then become arrogant. Continue to train hard, okay? Otherwise, with the talent you displayed since you were young, how could you not make a contract? Believe in me, you have your parents' blood flowing through your veins, you'll definitely be a talented and outstanding person in the future. You will be successful, so you must not be discouraged and try even harder…!"

Grimoire contract? Hearing these two words caused Yue Yang's blood to boil. He truely couldn't wait to contract his. He quickly recalled the fact that the number of grimiores weren't limited in this alternate world. Instead when one contracted the grimiore it would manifest before them from a mark on their hand. A guick glance was all that it took for him to be sure that the mark was present on his right hand. Proof that he still had time to attempt to contract it.

"San-er, you should rest first. These are my thoughts… Even if you can't make a contract with the grimoire, you are still my precious San-er. I think of you as my own son, so even if we had to sell all of our wealth, we'll think of something for your future. Your Fourth Uncle may not say it out loud, but he also thought the same way. San-er, just concentrate on recovering. Maybe tomorrow you could suddenly make a contract successfully." The beautiful woman then repeatedly asked him to rest before turning her body and walked out of the room.

Yue Yang was moved by her words. He looked at the beautiful woman exiting the room and heaved a sigh of relief.

Standing up he gazed at the mark on the back of his right hand, there was a strange attractive force coming from the mark and as he gazed at it, it began to glow. In a flash of light a book appeared floating before him.

It looked a little bronze, its colour faded and old. It was strangely thick, two or three times thicker than a normal book. The cover was even filled with strange, ancient characters. There seemed to be an unknown being who slowly called him forth. That kind of feeling felt just like the anticipation of installing a game, waiting impatiently to scroll the mouse and clicking on the start button…Yue Yang subconsciously reached his hands out, wanting to touch that strange looking golden book. Unbeknownst to him, the moment his fingers touched the book, that book suddenly shone with a golden light.

The whole room was filled with a golden light.

Under such a bright light, Yue Yang used his other hand and covered his eyes. He almost couldn't open his eyes due to the strong light.

Suddenly, an endless flow of knowledge surged into his brain violently. Furthermore, it was so strong that it couldn't be stopped. Yue Yang didn't even have the time to react as his brain was stuffed with strange knowledge to the brim. On the other side, the book was still emitting a strong light, like there were still even more knowledge to be transmitted.

His mind seemed to understood countless of things, but also not comprehending them. He couldn't grab the main knowledge and was unable to understand clearly the knowledge he had learned.

Now, Yue Yang was in a situation where he seemed to understand, but not to understand, seemed clear but not too clear, such a confused state.

Inside his body, there seemed to be a change. It seemed like something had awaken.

It felt like a mysterious power that had slept inside him for all this while was awakened. The revelation seemed like heralds of angels singing at heaven's gate, causing Yue Yang to tremble all over.

Although his ears couldn't hear it, his heart heard the "voice" very clearly.Indeed, a mysterious power was calling to himself from within his body. But he didn't understand what it meant and only heard the mysterious power call. It was such a unique experience, the voice sounding even more heavenly than an angel's song, immersing him deep within. That kind of beautiful voice can move a person's soul, like a mother's lullaby you heard when you are sick as a kid. Thousands of words would not be able to describe that feeling…At the same time, in the midst of his consciousness, Yue Yang saw a flying sword emitting a strange light. It was mysteriously spinning on its own, the strangeness of it all can't be described in words.

The flying sword was then held in the hands of a fairy. It looked like she was singing and dancing gracefully, freely moving across the empty space.

The golden light engulfing Yue Yang slowly disappeared, returning back into the book, barely shining in between of Yue Yang's fingers and the book itself.

The silence returned as the mysterious call disappeared. That flying sword also started to disappear without trace. Yue Yang snapped back into reality. His bronze grimiore continued to float before him. Feeling like it was a part of his body instead of a book.

At the door, the beautiful woman stood awestruck, her face full of tears.

She leaned on the sides of the door, using the door to support her trembling, emotional body. Then, her body seemed to lose strength as she fell onto the ground.

She had watched everything, her face showing an extremely surprised but happy expression. Her tears flowed like a stream of water, dripping unto her clothes.

"San-er, you, did you succeed in making a contract with a summoning grimoire? Is, is this real? Am I dreaming? Heavens above, this is all thanks to big sis' blessings. Big sis, did you see that San-er had succededed in making a contract? I've said it before, San-er is not a good-for-nothing…Thank heavens that he's not, I thank you from the bottom of my heart on behalf of our San-er…." The beautiful woman kneeled on the ground, her emotions flowing uncontrolled. She kowtow-ed sincerely, thanking the heavens for their blessings.

Her white forehead had become red due to her kowtows, and the floor wet with her tears. But the beautiful woman didn't mind the pain and continued to kowtow and give thanks.

Yue Yang quickly came over and tried to help Si Niang up. He couldn't bear to see the beautiful woman hurting herself. Much less if it was for him.
