Chapter 1: Chapter 1: Transmigration
X city is a desolated lawless place wherein crime and death is a normal occurance. In a straight and dark alley, a young man was currently hiding with a bloody wound on his leg cause by a bullet while holding a triangular necklace with a golden stone embedded in the center with ancient texts all around the edge of the necklace.
"Shu Feng! Give me that necklace". Roar of a middle-aged man that was coming closer to his hiding spot while holding a gun in his hand.
When the young man heard the shout of the middle-aged man, he cannot help but shivver in fear at the thought of the middle-aged man killing him if he was caught.
...
Shu Feng grows in an orphanage in the Y city that is manage by the government since he was baby. He often dreams of meeting his parents when he is still a kid. When he turns eighteen years old, he is task to find a job since the orpanage will only take care of children until they turn eighteen.
Everything is going smoothly for Shu Feng in working as a construction worker while helping the orphanage by sending some spare money to them.
He would never thought that by just saving a girl in distress, he would be affiliatted in a notorious gang.
Since that day, he would run for his life. But fate is cruel, when he was about to run again, he was cornered in a allley and beaten black and blue.
When he woke-up, he was confined in a room with some other kids crying and calling for their parents.
Unbeknownst to him, he was sold to a slave trader for the use of doing some illigal jobs. In order to survive, he was force to do stealing, selling illigal drugs just to get food depending in their contributions.
It was already two years when he keep doing this things, although he tried to escape many times in those years, they still manage to find them and beat them until they are unable to stand-up anymore barely alive.
It was night time when Shu Feng was walking down the road while holding a bread in his right hand and a bottle of water on his left. His cloths was tattered and his whole body was covered by bruises and dirt marks. When suddenly he spotted an old man being beaten-up by bunch of teenagers.
Although Shu Feng was stealing and doing ill jobs, he still cannot bear to watch a defenseless old man getting beat-up.
"Hey, stop what you are doing!"
Shu Feng shouted fiercely to those teenagers, scaring them away.
He walk up to the old man while giving him water.
"Are you alright, old man?"
Ask Shu Feng worriedly while looking at the old man with a hint of concern, because he didn't experience a love and care of his real parents, he developed a feeling of longingness for having a complete and happy family.
"Don't worry young man, this old bones of mine will sooner or later turn to ashes so I dont mind dying ahead of time". The old man answered while smiling at Shu Feng and slowly picking his hands and placing a necklace on his palm and closing it to a fist.
"This necklace will guide you to your dreams Shu Feng, youre kind and deserve a better life. So cherish this chance and grab all oppurtunities you encounter in the future." The old man said after placing the necklace in his hand.
Shu Feng was still staring at his close hand and opening it to see the necklace. When he suddenly hear the old man's reminder that he snap out of it.
"Wait, how do you know my na–". Just as he ask, he suddenly realize that the old man was already gone together with his bottle of water.
'Damn, where can I find a bottle of water again.'
Feng thought as soon as he realize one of his problems.
"Well, I might as well sell this necklace, maybe I could get some decent price for this."
.....
Far away in a place where the word paradise or heaven could be considered an understatement in describing this place, a man was sitting in a throne with his eyes close slowly opening.
"Hmm... Let's see how far you can reach with that necklace I gave you, Shu Feng". The man smiled and said to himself while playing something in his hand.
Surprisingly, it was Shu Feng's water bottle that he gave to the old man.
.....
Shu Feng already leave and gone back to his 'home'. And sleeping the night away.
It was in the afternoon in the morning and time for all the slaves to go to their boss to give their spoils and collect their foods from them.
It was Shu Feng's turn to give his spoils when suddenly the middle-aged man spotted something in his pocket.
"Halt. What are you hiding in your pocket?" The middle-aged man shouted while pointing his hand at his pocket.
'Damn, I totally forgot about selling the necklace this morning.' Feng thought to himself while slowly bringing out the necklace.
The old man suddenly become interested in the necklace and his eyes was staring at it with greed.
"It was given to me by an old man last night when I save him from the teenagers that beating him up." Shu Feng said when he saw the greed in the man's eyes.
The middle-aged man suddenly sneered to himself when he heard it. And thougt of a plan to get it to Shu Feng.
"Hmph! Do you think you can deceive me, you clearly steal it in a antique store while you are looking around. Give me that necklace and I will give it back to where you steal it." The middle-aged man said while opening his hands towards Shu Feng.
Although it will be easy to just snatch the necklace from Shu Feng, it is still not good because if the necklace came from a shop in this city, it will surely bring trouble to him because all the shops here are backed-up by a powerful gang. Thought the middle-aged man. Sadly for him, the necklace was really given by an 'old man' to Shu Feng.
And of course, to not let anyone say that the necklace was in his hands, he decided to eliminate the potential witness which is Shu Feng himself.
But how could Shu Feng not perceive what he is planning. So after taking out the necklace, he suddenly turn back and started running out of the small hut towards the road.
Before the middle-aged man could comprehend what was happening, Shu Feng already disappeared in front of him.
Boom
A load bang could be heard from inside the hut while the table that somewhat looking decent and sturdy was tattered and scattered everywhere in the room.
After that commotion, the man roared in rage and give a chase to Shu Feng while picking up his gun in his waist and quickly running up to the direction whre Shu Feng went to.
It takes about three hours before the man manage to caught up to Shu Feng.
"You bastard, do you think you can run away from me."
A man and a young man can be seen in the road running. One was chasing while the other was running.
'Shit, just because of this necklace I got into trouble.' Feng thought while running for his life.
He wanted to curse to himself for being unlucky in his whole life.
Bang! Bang! Bang! A sudden shot from the gun resounded throughout the place but no one else cared as if it seems that this kind of situation is normal and not out of place.
Argh!
It was too sudden that Shu Feng was a little bit late to react to the shot of the gun. Luckily for him the shot was not vital and only hit his legs which lead him to stumble and fall on the ground.
Peng!
Although he was on the ground, his will to survive keeps him from falling unconcious from the terrible pain.
He dragged himself in a dark alley to hide temporarily from the middle-aged man.
He tore off a piece of his dirty cloths to cover-up his wound and stop it from bleeding.
Footsteps could be heard coming closer to his hiding spot. He immidiately leave and move deeper the alley to buy more time for his scape.
Unbeknownst to him, the necklace started to illuminate when he touch it with his bloody hands.
BANG!
But before he could leave far away and leave the spot, a loud bang could be heard behind his back. And when he look at his chest, a hole could be seen while blood keeps gushing out at a alarming speed. It was too close that the bullet pass through his back creating a bloody hole in his chest.
Peng!
He just fall like that on the ground while getting a hold off of the necklace falling in front of his fallen body.
"Tch, so much trouble". The middle-aged man spat some words while walking slowly towards Shu Feng.
'So this is what it feels to die huh, what a loss I can not even find a single trace of my real parents and even ask them why did they leave me.'
A faint golden light was coming from the necklace caught Feng's attention.
He suddenly remembered what that old man told him. It may seem ridiculous but he can feel something about it.
He wants to grab that light that maybe, just maybe it will give him a hope to really achieve all his dreams and goals.
He keeps dragging himself to get close to the light even though he can barely move and only his tough will to live let him stay concious right now.
'Huh'. The middle-aged man notice that the young man is stiil not dead so he gave him another three shots of gun on his back.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The shot of the gun made another three gaping hole on his body but that is not his concern at all. Because just as the bullets manage to reach him, his middle finger manage to touch the lower edge of the necklace.

With that final count, the necklace suddenly entered Shu Feng's body and an space tunnel suddenly appeared a few centimeter on top of his body totally sucking him inside. The commotion then died down and the alley totally came back to it's former silence.
.....
In a faraway place, a ripple in space suddenly apeared and a young man could be seen coming out of it.
*Ding*
"Transmigration complete"
"Initiating instant recovery [3/3]

Unbeknownst to Shu Feng, a massive trasformation was happening to him right now. If anyone would be present in this situation, they will be agape to see a ball of golden transparent light that has some sort of liquid-like object inside that keeps changing in all sorts of shape and size.
*Ding*
"Body and Soul construction complete."
After an unknown passage of time. The ball of transparent golden light slowly dissipates revealing a figure lying on the ground.
