The Legendary Janitor
Most people don't choose reincarnation. Reincarnation finds their way to them. Perhaps they did something great in their life. Or maybe truck-sama wasn't looking where it was going. But without fail, those who reincarnate are destined for something great. A new life where everything changes for the better. But... Reincarnation isn't always the greatest thing. Sometimes you just draw the short end of the stick. Di Tou just happens to have drawn the shortest stick. Pulled out of his life randomly. Taken by a crazy old eccentric man not as a disciple, but as a body double?! And a janitor body double no less?! Grasping a system to find... It's a JANITOR SYSTEM!? Truly, how unlucky can one get?
Again and Again
Cultivation was a long process, and it wasn't entirely without reason that children were removed from their homes and parents and told to cut off their past when they started cultivating. It was in part a tradition and also in part a way to protect them from hurting themselves and being distracted while cultivating.
Of course, the Academy could be considered one of the few exceptions. Although there were still rather stringent rules about attendance that prevented one from being able to go home whenever the Academy's cultivation system was robust and systematic, and it allowed talents to achieve small success in a matter of years as opposed to decades. With such a system, there were more chances for students to return home and explore what they wanted.
