Chapter II. The Town

The Sun shone brightly into my chamber, you could hear the birds twitching one tone after another. Making it sound like a melody. It was the first day in my past life, where I could wake up without having to worry about anything, school, work, nothing.

One of the maids came in, dragging an elegant wooden box with her. Inside were the clothes a typical noble should wear. A long majestic robe, with a few golden marks on it showing the great symbol of the neverland clan.

White silk pants to hide the legs and shoes made by using spiritual beast leather.

All in all worthy for a high standing noble like me. Even though I knew I would soon not wear these clothes anymore.

It was the day of my journey.

Was I angry at father? Not really, it was a good starting point.

From the town I could build my own power.

"Sir Neverland, everything has been prepared. The carriage is already waiting for you, sire."

Another old men spoke, he was the assistant and butler of my father, a good soul. He often protected me and even sometimes spoke against my father's punishment.

"Ah Yes. Thank you Thomas. I will be there in a minute."

I replied and took a step out of my room.

When I arrived at the entry hall, with its two long stairs to the second floor and the crystal lights hanging in the air, I saw my father, the captain of the guards and of course some other servants. My father was speaking to the captain and when I arrived at the stairs on the second floor, he turned around and looked at me.

"Come down here, my son."

He said while laughing wholeheartedly, next to him, the old captain had a vicious smile on his face.

"Yes father." I answered and immediately walked down the stairs step by step. When I arrived I saw the screen but ignored it. There were more important things right now.

"Father! I have prepared everything" I said with a very calm face.

"Good, Good! Then be on your way. And take on your responsibility."

With a slap on my shoulder, he turned around and left with his servants.

Only two people were left. The captain and the butler.

When the captain walked towards me, he showed his evil smile and whispered into my ear:

"Well, Well, when the sheep enters the wolf's land, what will happen? Mh.."

He then walked away with heavy steps wich you could hear from miles away.

What did he mean with that? I thought, well let's think about that later.

After that, the only person who treated me nicely since my transmigration came forward.

"Here, my lord. I prepared some food for your journey, be careful and make your father proud."

Ten Minutes later, I was already sitting the wooden carriage on my way to Glancing, thinking on how I should start.

I wasn't a engineer or something like that in my past life. I was a typical office worker with no free time or own thoughts. Now I had time to look at the screen from before.

[ Quests available: ]

——————————————————————-

Finally! I thought, I already thought about killing him, but with a quest, it's even better.

But this Development plan is strange.

Why can't I see it's description?

[ Host! Because your Cultivation is still too weak, so many high level things can not be used/looked at]

[ Host! Improve your cultivation and then you will unlock more abilities and functions.]

Wait, your telling me to improve my strength, but don't I still have 10 unused high grade spiritual bottles. Let me use these first.

System? I would like to take out these bottles.

Mh ah I See! Mhh Ten Spiritual bottles.

A second later, ten extravagant bottles decorated with golden strings, and a green liquid in them appeared in his hands.

After opening one of the bottles, a stiff smell came out. Although it stank, I still chose to drink every last drop of it.

[ Host! Your Cultivation is full

(1000/1000) Do you wish to breakthrough? ]

"Yes!" A warm feeling surged trough my whole body, a small lake of spiritual energy was forming inside my body. Never ending, around me, everything was quiet, as if waiting for permission to continue. It was the best feeling I ever had.

"System? Can I breakthrough one more time?"

[ Hosts cultivation needs 0/4000 XP to breakthrough again. ]

So i can! Yes!

[ Host! Your Cultivation is full

(4000/4000) Do you wish to breakthrough? ]

"Yes! Of course I want to!"

A familiar feeling circulated inside my body. I felt how the small lake inside of me grew bigger and bigger, it would be a lie to say it was small anymore.

A minute later the feeling stopped.

Status!

Not far away, a man standing in the middle of a dark and cold room was watching a carriage driving towards a huge forest, If others would have seen him, they would have immediately known who he was.

"Let's see how you will survive this!"
