Chapter 2: New World

It is currently nighttime in this part of the world, with two bright moons shining among the numerous stars. And at this time, inthe Paxter Family home...

"Will he be alright?" anxiously asked one man.

"Sir, he had only collapsed from overexerting himself cultivating, so he will be fine but will need to spend a short time recovering." calmly replied another man.

Before Lyle could even open his eyes, he was able to hear two voices near him speaking to each other.

'Didn't I die? Did I really reincarnate into a different world?' Lyle thought to himself as he slowly opened his eyes. The two men noticed curios eyes toward them and turned to look at him.

"Son, are you feeling better? I told you to be careful when cultivating." worriedly said the man who had asked the question earlier. Lyle looked to the voice and started thinking,

'He said son, so does this mean he's my father and I'm his child?'

Then a screen popped up as Lyle was staring at the man.

[Name: Richard Paxter

Strength: 2.4 Intelligence: 2.1

Endurance: 2.2 Wisdom: 2

Lyle was so caught up into the new screen that he didn't realize that he was just staring at Richard. Seeing his son stare blankly at him, Richard says

"It seems that you need some time to recover and recollect your thoughts so I will leave you in your room to rest and see the doctor out."

Then Richard got up and left the room with the man he was talking with earlier and closed the door. Lyle took a brief look around the room and saw some swords and shields laying around.

"The rooms owner has an interesting hobby.. but the name Paxter seems to be familiar."

As Lyle had this vague feeling of familiarity , a screen popped up in front of him disrupting this thoughts.

[Greeting Host, I am the World Ruling System designed to assisr you on your path to rule this novel world. At the Host's current level, Host needs to say System for me to appear.]

Lyle was surprised and focused on some parts of the screen. 'The system just said novel and the name Paxter...' Lyle just thought of a theory and immediately started questioning the system to confirm it.

"Who am I?"

[Host has taken over the body of Lyle Paxter of the noble Paxter Family.]

"Where am I?"

[Host, this is the world called Rapta, from the novel 'Overturning the World' and it's a place that humans share with many races such as Goblins, Orcs, Demons, Elves, Beastmen, and etc. This is a dog eat dog world where cultivation reigns supreme, but not all people can cultivate.The higher your cultivation level, the longer your lifespan and the more power you can harness and control. The area you are in is the country named Fauxia.]

Now confirmed of his new identity and where he was, he felt greatly shocked.

"What's the current year?"

[It is currently the fall season of year 1045]

From Lyle's memories, it should be three years before the main character appears at the academy.

"How strong am I?"
