[A/N: ^ indicates Skill is upgradable]
After the bitter herb bath, Yu Xuan trudged back to his room wrapped in fresh robes, damp hair clinging to his forehead.
But despite the physical exhaustion... he was excited.
Very excited.
It was ti to check the rewards from his very first quest — the adventure that had ended in river water, broken raft dreams, and a bit of telekinesis.
He called out ntally:
==================
[First Quest ] (Completed)
Reincarnators and transmigrators are unique beings. They usually show signs of weirdness by age one. You, however, are five... and have done nothing.
You are a disgrace to this culture.
Objective: Have an adventure.
Reward: Depends on performance.
==================
[Do you want to claim your reward?]
Yu Xuan shouted internally with full enthusiasm: "Yes!"
==================
As this was your first quest, you have been granted 3 reward options.
Select any 2:
[1. Skill: Aura of Destiny (SS ) (Upgradable)]
You will attract fortuitous encounters more often. Luck bends subtly in your favor.
[2. Skill: Immortal’s Gaze (SS ) (Upgradable)]
You can briefly overwhelm soone one realm above you. Use wisely.
[3. Skill: Fated Encounter (???)]
You are an anomaly, tied to deeper currents of fate. Certain events or people... are destined to find you.
==================
Yu Xuan’s jaw dropped. "Okay... now this is a proper system!, It even gave choices."
But as the initial excitent faded, he grew contemplative.
’Hmm... all of them are [Skills] — but [Fated Encounter] is a must.’
His mind wandered back to the stories he used to read in his past life. In every novel, the mysterious concepts of fate, destiny, and karma weren’t just fluff — they shaped everything. Even on Earth, these ideas carried weight.
This wasn’t just about power. Not about Good and Bad.
A [Fated Encounter] didn’t sound flashy... but it scread long-term payoff.
’So that’s locked in,’ he nodded ntally.
Now ca the hard part.
’Do I choose [Aura of Destiny] or [Immortal’s Gaze]?’
He tapped his chin thoughtfully.
’[Aura of Destiny] could lead to treasures, secret inheritances, and cute foxes that turn into heavenly beauties... maybe. But [Immortal’s Gaze] gives a combat edge — I could ntally suppress soone stronger than when it really counts.’
He weighed both options carefully.
In the end, he exhaled slowly and made his picks:
[Fated Encounter] and [Immortal’s Gaze].
’With the Yu and Huan Clans backing ... I’m not exactly lacking in opportunity. But if I ever end up facing soone dangerous... I’ll need an ace.’
He smiled.
’Besides... if I had been born into a poor family, I probably would have gone for [Aura of Destiny].’
He sat back, content.
Then casually lifted a nearby teacup with [Telekinesis].
The cup hovered awkwardly for a mont... and promptly dropped.
Thankfully, it didn’t break but Yu Xuan still winced.
’Yeah... I definitely need more control.’
He continued practicing for a while, trying to lift and hold small objects. After about fifteen minutes, a dull ache began to throb in his head.
"Ugh... ntal strain is real."
He recalled how the skill description had warned about this and ntally commanded the system to show it.
==================
[Skill: Telekinesis] Allows the user to move objects with their mind. ntal energy is consud accordingly.
==================
"ntal energy, huh..." he muttered.
’So that’s probably why I fainted back at the waterfall.’
He rubbed his temples and sighed.
’Looks like training this skill will take ti and discipline.’
And then he rembered.
"Ugh... Father said training starts tomorrow."
He groaned loudly, flopping back onto his bed.
"Who makes a five-year-old train like a martial brute?!"
But deep down... he understood.
This was a cultivation world.
One mistake could an death — at the hands of a villain, a heaven’s chosen, or so old monster crawling out of a forbidden cave. His family could protect him for now...
But not forever.
So with a resigned sigh, he called up his status window.

Yu Xuan squinted at the screen.
New changes had appeared. Ranks now showed next to Arts and Skills — and so still had question marks. He was sure, The System didn’t show Ranks just a few monts ago.
’The System is recovering...!’ he thought internally.
And smiled.
He was getting stronger.
And this was just the beginning.
