Kiel was greeted by an unknown ceiling the moment he opened his eyes. He thought to himself, confused. 'Huh? I'm alive... how could that be?' Remembering the explosion and him falling through the darkness, Kiel felt a cold chill running behind his back.

Pain washed his body as he tried to move. Enduring the pain he felt, He stood with shaky legs. He scoured the room with his eyes. It was brimming with unfamiliarity. There were wooden swords and other weapons. Outside, there were dummies and dumbbells made out of stone and clay. He felt that the place was was like the houses back in ancient china. He put the thoughts at the back of his mind and surveyed his condition. There were bruises and wounds all over his body. There was even what seems to be a burnt fist mark on his chest. He muttered "Why do i have this burnt mark!? could it been the monsters? and where are Izakel and the others?..." He stood up and tried to walk towards the door despite the deep pain.

Before he could take a step, he caught a glimpse of himself. His eyes went wide as he saw himself through the mirror. Caressing his face with his hands as he came closer for a good look, scrutinizing every detail of his face. He saw his familiar face but it was brimming with youthfulness. The only difference was his red hair.

He said in shaky voice. "H-have I b-become younger!?" He looked downwards to his body, he had a scrawny build and his clothes were in tatters and full of dirt. He was at disbelief at first but the searing pain he felt from the wounds of his face said otherwise.

Seconds later as he was marveling at his new self, a greater pain came emerging from deep within his soul. Clutching his head, he felt like his brain was being teared apart into pieces. He screamed on the top of his lungs trying his best efforts to lessen the pain.

A panicked voice and hurried footsteps were heard as he started screaming. He was shouting "Y-young master! young master!!"

A loud "bam!" was heard as the door was slammed opened. A middle aged man came running inside, his face filled with stern with a hint of worry. He looked the young man rolling on the floor, clutching his head and screaming from deep pain. He hurriedly came beside him and called out his name.

"Young master! What happened to you!? did someone did this!?"

All his calls were for naught. Massive information started popping out of his brain. He instantly knew that this memories came from another person, and what was astonishing was this person had the same face as him. Moments passed as the pain lessened until it came away, he was left daze by the unfamiliar memories he acquired

The middle aged sigh in relief seeing his young master stopped screaming. But his worry came back when he saw his eyes, it was dim. He worried thought. 'I guess he couldn't take everything'

On the contrary Kiel was sorting out his new memories to his surprise he was actually in another person's body.

The body he was residing was actually named Yang Chen, the youngest son of the second master of the Yang clan. A subsidiary family of the Phoenix Peak, one of the 32 peaks under the Heavenly Mountain Sect. The sect was a peak tier power in the Dragon Continent.

He used to be treated with high status until years later when he was found out to be talent-less in the way of the martial arts and cultivation. He was only at the 10th stage of the body refinement realm while his peers were already at the 4 phases of foundation stage.

After his fall from the skies, he was treated as dirt not only by his sect mates but also his clan mates. He was deemed as the greatest disappointment due to his two older brothers having high talents. Who had high accomplishments within the sect. Being compared to them was like hell for Yang Chen.
