Blinking his eyes, Ken felt clean again. It was as if he’d come out of a shower. Looking around him he was confused to find himself in a endless white space. Appearing from out of nowhere a small screen appeared in front of him

  Reading was weird, seeing as he hadn’t had the time to do it in so long, he was a little rusty. Reading it several time gave him a plethora of questions that he didn’t know where to start.

  “What will happen to all the souls stuck in the underworld?”

  “Reset?”

  ‘So life will continue, just with another species. Did aliens have souls? Confusing but okay.’ He realized, he wouldn’t see his friends and family ever again but he was oddly okay with that. They would be reincarnated and forget about him and continue their existence. Now he was thinking about that second bit of info.

  “Why will I not able to reincarnate ever again?” he asked.

  “I don’t suppose immortality is a thing?” He blurted out.

  “Really? What methods?”

  Hearing the list Ken began asking all about the different forms of immortality. The screen just popped up with simple explanations for each one in front of him.

  Of all the options it seemed like Cultivation fit him best. From further descriptions it made it seem perfect for him actually.

  Long periods of time with out social interactions. Check.

  With progress the ability to survive with out food. Check.

  Power to defy those who would attack or control him. Check.

  Freedom. Check.

  Lastly Immortality. Double Check.

  Seeing as all the other options would probably end in failure, servitude, or less than himself. Freedom and power would be his wish, but not without a journey. Considering his last few years had taught him a lot about hardship, he knew he wouldn’t be able to handle the temptations of power if he didn’t earn it.

  So he asked more and more questions on cultivation and realized that being a cultivator was not enough, he needed techniques, resources and most importantly power. Time didn’t seem to matter as he kept asking more and more, learning about qi, the dantian core, the spirit, yin and yang, five elements, pill concocting, weapon forging , and the heavenly tribulations.

  As Ken became more and more knowledgeable he formed his wish in his mind. It wasn’t perfect but he felt it was the best he could do.

  “I wish to be the greatest cultivator, pill alchemist, weapon forger, and formation master in a new world!”
