Chapter 1 : Long Chen

In a certain city in the Western continents in a mortal world; a young man about the age of 25-28 years was walking in the streets. The young man looked very haggard. He had a worn out look. His appearance alone wast a stack contrast from everyone else. The young man looked as if he had lost his soul. The look in his eyes was a look of exhaustion, helplessness and a lost look. It seemed he was in a very deep thought. His soul was lost in a very different world.

The young man's name was Long Chen. His whole life was a complete mess. No one cared about how he lived nor how he looked. His own family had abandoned him. He lived a life that a beggar would live. The earth was his bed and the sky his blankets. He tried every type of way to live a better life, but it seemed fate never allowed him to have a better life. He had now lost all hope in life.

But although he had lost all hope in life, inside him he knew that everything was not over. He knew he had a chance to have a better life but not in this world. The question is, how did he know his next life would be different?

Long Chen's soul was a type of soul that no mortal could compare with. He never believed in the way that every mortal in this world thought everything would turn out to be. Whoever they worshipped or in whatever they believed in, he saw all that just as a joke. He knew that this all world was covered in an illusion and was in total darkness.

He knew there was a better world out there. A world full of cultivators. He knew everything there is to all those world. But the weird this is, he had never been in those worlds before but it is as if he had once been a supreme existence in those worlds. He understood nothing of all those things that he was experiencing. The only thing that he knew, was, this whole world was a sealed world and a world that someone somewhere was using it as a source of power from the believes of all the mortals in this world.

While he was deep in thoughts, suddenly,

Hoooong! Hoooong!

It turned out that while Long Chen was lost in his own thoughts, he mistakenly stepped on the high way. He didn't notice it but now he was right at the centre of the high way.

A truck which was moving at a very high speed was heading towards him. When Long Chen heard the hooting sound of the truck, he snapped out of his thoughts totally frightened by the sound. But now before he could do anything, he felt a sense of crisis approaching him. His hair stood on end.

Bang!!

Before Long Chen could even move, he was hit squarely by the high speeding truck. It was as if he had directly rammed into a high speeding train.

Before Long Chen could feel any pain, his consciousness went blank. The hit had directly killed him.

The weird thing was that Long Chen when he noticed he was dying, he felt relaxed and relieved. His death was what he waited for in a very long time, but he didn't want to commit suicide. He felt the act of committing suicide as an act of shame. He loathed killing himself. He wanted to have a natural death or an accident.

When now everything went as he expected, he felt somehow accomplished.

You may wonder what kind of person Long Chen was but; Long Chen always felt that his fate didn't lie in this world. He didn't belong in this world. He knew there was a great world out there waiting for him. A life out there that was really great and an accomplished life where he could accomplish a lot of things.

Now that his death has finally come, he only waited for fate to take it course.

But there was one thing that he didn't want to happen. He was afraid of that thing happening.
