--- Chapter 2 ---
Darkness.
Again, I felt the same sensation again.
I opened my eyes and saw the "void" that trapped me for years.
Anger.
Anger brewed in my chest, making me feel like I was going to blow fire up my throat.
DAMN YOU, ASURA!
DAMN YOU, TANG SAN!
HOW DARE YOU MESS WITH MY SECOND LIFE!
Hate, hate, hate, I HATE THEM WITH ALL MY VERY BEING!
I imagined a second life filled with twists and turns but didn't expect it to fail before it could even start.
I was too naive.
I should have known better.
Douluo Dalu is also not a friendly world.
The protagonist's point of view covers corruption, manipulation, and darkness.
Hehe.
HEHE~!
HEHEHEHEHE~!!
I laughed.
Yes, I laughed at the universe's unfairness for the first time.
Okay, okay, that's it.
So, I can do anything as long as I have power.
You, Asura, messed with me despite being the Divine Enforcer of Douluo Dalu World, breaking the rules that God can't mess with mortal affairs.
JUST WAIT, MOTHERFUCKER!
JUST WAIT UNTIL I WIPE THAT SMILE OFF YOUR FUCKING FACE!
I don't know how long I stayed in this void this time.
Rage and hatred clouded my mind.
It was not until I felt another tug in my chest that I stopped, gaining some clarity. When I opened my eyes again, an unfamiliar scenery entered my vision.
Dim. The area is too dim for my new eyes.
However, the nearby warmth quickly warmed me up. I rolled to see who was so kind to give me this warmth and saw a cracked mirror.
In the dim room, I saw a newborn with a pale complexion and a ruddy face but a pair of determined eyes with hidden abyss-like obsessions.
At the same time, this newborn was 'tightly' hugged by a black-haired woman.
She looked like a sweet "village woman" who made me remember fond memories. She has brownish skin, a button nose, brownish-pink lips, and slightly thicker eyebrows.
Memory fragments invaded my mind.
It was the memory of this newborn.
Or should I say me?
When I reincarnated as Tang San, the memory naturally came to me as if I just awakened my past life's memory. The same happened this time. Of course, it's more like a current life's memory.
Although babies can't speak, they can listen.
So, I watched through my life's montage like no tomorrow, digesting every piece of information.
This sweet woman is my sister.
Her name is Han Yue.
Mine is Han Yuan.
We are orphans because our parents just died a few weeks ago, attacked and swallowed by Spirit Beasts. They are dead by trying to change their destiny of becoming Spirit Master.
My father and mother were in their late twenties, having their spirit energy reaching the first bottleneck of level 10 and attempting to kill Soul Beast and absorb their Soul Ring.
Unfortunately, they are commoner.
They didn't even have money to rent someone to help them hunt Spirit Beasts.
Ultimately, a swarm of 10-year wind wolf packs killed them.
Afterward, my dear sister cried her eyes out while hugging me in her sleep.
It's tragic.
I was supposed to be the "main" character but ended up here.
Even then, I'm not in a mood to complain.
After Asura and Tang San messed up with my second life, my goal remained the same.
I will do anything to drag them to hell.
As for my new parents, I felt a little sad for them.
However, I don't feel as much affection as Ah Yin did to me.
They left their child fending for themselves, only to obtain a 10-year Spirit Ring and be killed trying. I don't know what to say about their decisions.
They are ambitious, but it's understandable.
In this world, becoming Spirit Master will grant you nearly everything.
I was disappointed, but they were still my parents, so I wished them a "happy" life in the afterlife.
I looked at my older sister's face. I saw the faint tear mark on her cheek and stretched my little hand to rub it.
Don't cry, sister.
From now on, I will take care of you well.
Feeling tired, I entered my sister's embrace again and closed my eyes, planning for the next step of my life in my dream.
...
...
Time flies by.
I, Kevin-! No, Han Yuan has lived for four years in this new world.
I lay on a patch of blue silver grass and stared at the azure sky with an emotionless face.
After living this second life, I did my best to change my destiny, helping my sister and the villagers with my intellect and past life's memory.
I made mixed compost to fertilize the farming lands, invented an irrigation system, and pest control with fresh-water crabs. We breed chickens and hares because they reproduce and grow quickly with little effort.
In a mere two years, the village yielded enough food for everyone.
The villagers called me a genius.
However, this is nothing but a few tricks up my sleeve. It's easy for me, who has lived in the modern world.
I only did this to make a better living for my sister and me.
Not to mention, I needed a lot of food and nutrients to grow.
I don't want to look scrawny like Tang San because of malnutrition.
If Tang San had not possessed the "Mysterious Heaven Skill" stolen from the Tang Sect, he likely wouldn't have survived childhood, given that Tang Hao lacked parenting skills.
In fact, this "Mysterious Heaven Skill" is Tang San's cheat in this world, as comprehensive cultivation techniques are lacking here.
Without the "Mysterious Heaven Skill" that could improve one's talent, I doubt Tang San could have Innate Full Spirit.
Of course, Tang San is not the only one who cheats.
I have been reincarnated twice in this world.
My perception of the world is sharper than ordinary people.
I can learn things quickly, deducing many kinds of problems.
Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of books in the village.
I have to ask the village head to buy second-hand books in the nearby town or city to give me more knowledge about this world. Even then, they aren't enough.
Cultivation techniques? I can also make them with enough knowledge.
Anyway, back to my cheat.
At the same time, I can also perceive the "void" that trapped me in limbo for years. This "void" seemed to be attached to me, giving me a feeling that it would awaken soon.
Many "weeb" people in the past would have called me delusional at this point.
But I know it.
This sense of foreboding is real!
"Yuan, you're here!" A sweet, feminine voice brushed my ears.
I blinked my eyes and saw my sister smiling at me. Gosh, her sunny face is beautiful.
"Mm," I answered without much emotion.
You might think I was too cold to my sister.
But you're wrong!
I love my sister!
I love my sister so much that I was afraid of losing her!
After all, she's my only relative in this world.
And she knew it.
My feelings toward her are real.
Yes, I might be cold outside but warm inside.
Wait, that comes off weird.
My sister sat beside me and asked, "Thinking about life again?"
"Yes," I replied calmly.
"Not bored?" She asked again.
"No."
Han Yue giggled in amusement, rubbing my head. "My little genius brother is indeed different from others."
"So, what do you want to eat tonight?"
"Sister will cook everything for you~!"
I smiled faintly, "Give me a surprise, sister."
Han Yue took my words seriously. "Hoho, don't blame me if your stomach looks like a balloon later!"
We bantered back and forth on the hill, watching the sunset.
As the sun went down, I stood up and patted my pants.
I reached out for my sister's hand, and she grabbed it.
"Let's go." We walked home together.
...
...
That night's dinner was delicious.
