A Dragon Among The Stars

Harmony

He was smiling brightly until he glimpsed a ring in his ring finger. For a moment Kiel confused it for his wedding ring since it was identical.

It was silver in color and was perfectly fitted in his finger. He took a closer look and saw cryptic symbols etched in it. He didn't know what those symbols meant but somehow a word came popping out of his mind, it was the word "Harmony".

'Harmony... Why does that word suddenly came up in my mind?' He curiously thought. The truth was he never knew this cryptic symbols and so does the the one before him in this body.

'From the memories, the past Yang Chen didn't wore any ring... then could I have brought this here?' Thinking up to this his eyes went wide as faint memories started surfacing up in his mind.

With that line of thought, his heart jolted. His eyes widening

"Young Master! What happened!? Are you okay?" Steward Feng said that woke Kiel up in his shocked state.

"Nothing! I'm okay!" Kiel replied back.

Servant Feng had a weird face as he muttered. "What made the young master so shock? I hope its nothing serious."

Yang Chen ignored servant Feng and retreated into his own thoughts to mull about his new found ring.

"I remember... this ring... was inside the necklace!" He thought. He felt surprise as he finally remembered.

During the time the he was blasted from the explosion in the relic site. He remember the scene where his roaring lion shaped jade was also seemingly blasted apart and what came out was a silver ring shining from the light of the explosion. Grabbing it with his bloody hands was the last thing he remember before going unconscious as he fell through the darkness.

"So this ring came along with me as I transmigrated here? Or could it be... that this ring brought me here?" Yang Chen himself also couldn't believe the things he was saying but with how things are, it kept bugging him in his mind that the ring might have something to do with his situation.

He muttered. "Okay.. let's say that this ring is the cause of this situation... then whats the use of this?" The more he kept thinking the more his head hurts.

He caressed his chin with his eyes turning into slits. He muttered. "ring... ring...' His gaze bored into his spatial bag and slowly his eyes brightened. He slap his thigh saying in delight. "Spatial Ring! don't tell me that this is a spatial ring. It must be... Since I'm in a world where cultivators greatly revered then is this what they call a fortuitous encounter!"

His eyes shining and his mouth started to drool. He continued. "If that's the case, then will I be able inherit something awesome that would lead me to the top?" His heart was brimming with excitement.

But thinking about his family back on earth, their memories acted as a cold water pouring over his ignited heart. He said frustration. "So what If I have those kinds of inheritance... it doesn't solve the puzzle that would lead me back to earth..."

His body felt heavy and laid in his back, He felt his new found resolution was all bulllsh*t His eyes starting to dim. "I may have accept this body but I don't know what to do... I'm clueless about this world and so does the first Yang Chen... All I know that this is a world where cultivators prosper, heck we both don't even know what the true purpose of cultivation."

He thought of the memories of the first Yang Chen, All his life he was bullied and looked down, feeling the hatred and humiliation that was being kept deep inside along with the resolution and bright dreams Yang Chen had before he came. He said in realization. "cultivate to gain power and control over one's faith."
