Chapter 1 - Homeless

In the Meadow with a clear blue sky, there's a 17-year-old young man staring at each other with an enormous black bull at three-meter height. That man is called Zentra Vilska he looks Asian with black hair and brown eyes.

Currently, Zentra watching the bull with a calm face and high-intensity heartbeat. Zentra looked at the bull and said "Are you an intelligent creature" The bull was still silent and watching Zentra curiosly. Zentra sighed and said "It's only a mindless animal not the spiritual beast like the novel says" After hearing the word the bull suddenly unleashed a roar that sounded like a cow and the tiger's voice fused. "Oh shit, it seems to understand my word," Zentra thinks in his mind.

"Hmm that beast definitely faster than me so my strategy is to look calm and let heaven decide my life" After making a plan zentra stays in his place without a single expression. The bull suddenly runs and stops when a distance is around 30 cm between Zentra. After 3 minutes of silence, the bull and Zentra only watch each other.

Suddenly there's a 2-meter bald old man with a muscular body wearing a Taoist robe comes and says something incomprehensible. The silent atmosphere broke and the bull roared to the old man and left slowly. An old man came to me while smiling and said something to me. "Old man thank you for helping me but I don't understand what are you saying, "Zentra say the same thing three times in English, Japanese and Korean language.

It seems the old man understands and makes a gesture to follow him. "I wonder if he understands what I am saying," Zentra thinks while following the old man. Zentra recalls what happened before transmigrated into this world. Zentra lives on earth and he has a quite wealthy parent.

Zentra's parent is both archeology and eccentric for example they named their son two unknown words from ruin as a result he doesn't get along well with other because of the strange name. At age fifteen his parent suddenly disappeared and left a paper that read: "Inspection before going inside, that's your name meaning".

Zentra does not have a friend and his parent are always busy so he spends most of his time exercising and playing phone in his home. Usually when people experience that especially when their parents disappear they are depressed. But Zentra doesn't care as long there's money to live it's not a big deal and he is also happy to stay at home for a long time. 2 years after the disappearance of Zentra's parents he slept as usual and when he woke up he ended up in the current situation.

After walking around for 1 hour zentra saw a 10-meter-high great wall with 2 guards guarding the gate. "It is capital because it looks magnificent, well I had a good start I ended up in a great city, not a newbie village," Zentra said while calmly walking with the old man. The guard who looked like a soldier in ancient Chinese suddenly came and bowed to the old man.

The old man nodded and said something to the guard after that the guard walked to Zentra. "What?" Zentra says to guard but the guard is only silent and gives a wood token with some sort of magic array written on it. Zentra takes it and does nothing only watching the guard. The guard looked impatient and suddenly he took my hand and pushed my thumb into the token. The token trembled after that it absorbed my blood.

The writing in the token change and the word unfamiliar to zentra emerge from the token. "It's strange that I feel that's definitely my name written on it, maybe the token has a spiritual function," Zentra thinks while unknowingly to Zentra the token does not have that function.

The old man had a strange expression when he saw my name on my token and the guard laughed so much. "Ahahaha" Zentra also laughed when hearing the guard and the guard laugh harder. After that, the old man entered the city so Zentra followed. After entering the city the old man suddenly disappeared like lightning struck. "It's indeed a fantasy world" Zentra has in his mind, slowly walking and looking around.

It's like an ancient town in China, there are a lot of pedestrians walking in the city. some stall flocked by people and the owner selling something while shouting there's also a store with a little customer.

Zentra walked slowly searching water for a drink. Shortly after Zentra found the well, "found the water even without food humans can live for a long time" Zentra exclaimed with a calm voice. Zentra approached the well and thought about how to use it because he never used it before.

15 minutes later Zentra already figured out how to use it and drink some water. Zentra walks again and searches for a place with a roof to sleep. Shortly after Zentra found a banyan tree in the middle of the city, there were 3 kids playing with each other with wooden swords.

There's a skinny black-haired boy, a fat bald kid, and a cute girl with shoulder-length black hair. It seems the kid all 9 years old, zentra walks to the tree trunk and sits down in a meditation position. The three kids pay attention to me for a while but after a while, they continue sparring.

Zentra watching the fight of three kids while sitting in a tree. Skinny boy and fat boy work together to fight the little girl but she can perfectly dodge and parry the combined attack of the boys.

Not long after that, the girl counterattacked in a mere three-sword move she crushed the skinny boy. She focused on the fat boy and attacked him 5 times all the attacks landed successfully. But the fat boy still stood up after the 6 attack finally she crushed the fat boy while giggling.

The girl suddenly approached me and asked something, "Should I respond or be silent" Zentra pondered but in the end, he chose to be silent. After receiving no response from Zentra she leaves.

Zentra sits under the banyan tree in a meditation position and tries to cultivate it like in Wuxia's novel.

"In the novel usually the first step is to temper body but I have no food to sustain the training so I skip it and go feel the energy in surroundings first" Zentra makes planning in his mind.

After 30 minutes of meditation, he only felt numb in his leg. "This position is not good, in the novel they do it in the lotus position but it's not novel so I think it works even in the sleeping position. oh, I may try the breathing technique I read before " Zentra pondered while changing the position into a sleeping position with the head facing the sky.

Zentra tried to breathe by inhaling the air slowly to its maximum, while his diaphragm, stomach, and chest bloated. After exhaling slowly, he felt exhausted, and there was pain all over his body as if needles were piercing him. He realized that he needed to take some rest. So, he rested for around 20 minutes and continued the breathing technique.

Zentra kept up with the breathing technique for around 7 hours, despite the noise from people since the tree was in the middle of the city. He kept breathing and didn't care about the noise.

After an unknown time, Zentra stopped and looked at the sky. To his surprise, the sun was still there even though it had been around 15 hours or more. He continued with his breathing technique until night came, and he unknowingly fell asleep. and he woke up and realized it was still night and the cycle of the day was longer than Earth but he didn't know exactly how long the cycle was.

The following day, the three children returned and resumed their wooden sword fight. Once again, the girl emerged victorious and attempted to converse with Zentra. However, he remained silent, knowing that she wouldn't be able to comprehend his words even if he spoke.

Time passed, and when Zentra grew thirsty, he drank water from a nearby well. People would occasionally try to talk to him, but he always remained quiet. One day, the girl who likes to fight and usually wins came to me, gave me a huge water vat that was around 2 meters tall, and then left. "Maybe it's time for me to do some body tempering. I can already feel my inner energy," Zentra thought as he tried to lift the vat with both hands in a hugging position.

Zentra had not eaten anything for a long time which made him feel weak and dizzy. Despite this, he made an effort to take a big water vat to a nearby well. Although the well wasn't too far from the banyan tree, it would still take him around 10 minutes to walk there. Carrying the heavy vat was an arduous task for Zentra and it took him about 20 minutes to reach the well. After resting for a while, he filled the vat to the brim, but when he tried to lift it, he found it too heavy to carry.

"I'm doomed. I cannot pick it up, and I must throw some water away," Zentra said to himself. However, after thinking for a while, he decided not to give up. "I want to become a cultivator, and hard things like this will always come in my path. I cannot compromise if I want to become strong," he resolved in his heart.

Zentra couldn't carry the vat, but he could push it little by little. With this method, he pushed it for three hours, taking breaks in between. When he was halfway through, he passed out. After thirty minutes, he woke up and felt refreshed, as if he had regained his full energy. Although he still couldn't lift the vat, he decided to continue pushing it. Finally, Zentra arrived at the banyan tree, where he put down the vat, drank some water, and slept peacefully.

Upon waking up, Zentra performs his usual breathing technique. After experimenting, he realizes why people meditate in the lotus position. He finds that sitting in this position helps to smooth the flow of energy throughout his body, so he spends the entire day in this position. Zentra refills the vat with water once it's finished and continues to meditate.

It has been a month based on this world day since he arrived in this world, and he has not eaten anything since his transmigration. As a result, he has lost a lot of weight and now weighs only 60 kg. However, his body is now full of muscle and energy, and he can control the energy in his body smoothly as if it were his own limb. Although he still cannot shoot his energy outside of his body or feel any energy outside of it.

"I hear in my previous world that some tribes only eat very little but have muscular bodies. it seems the nutrition theory is not all right" Zentra pondered in his heart. while he pondered the muscular old man appeared like a ghost in front of his eyes. he tapped his finger on my forehead and a lot of unknown language with a complex meaning appeared in my mind.

Old man said to Zentra, "Kuls Tra navis". Zentra seemed to comprehend what he was saying, but he needed some time to organize the meaning. This world language was very complex such that even one letter could have many meanings. So, Zentra needed to understand the context of what the old man said because it might have some other meaning. Finally, Zentra comprehended what the old man said and replied in this world language, "I understand what you say" Zentra said to the old man.
