Three hours passed by , three hours felt like eternity in the bottomless abyss of darkness. With no sense of time, or of one's own self.

Floating in the void was James's consciousness. He thought it was nothing but a dream and he'll wake up eventually. He wanted to confirm if all these happenings were true before getting his hopes up.

"All my life, i accused the heavens to be blind. Suffering and pain were my friends, agony and sadness were my allies, and loneliness was my partner."

"Is this a chance to change all that i despised in my past life?"

"Or would it be the continuation of the same process?" He asked.

James never liked gatherings nor was he a good talker. He couldn't remember a single time when he had a conversation with someone.

All he ever wanted was to live a normal life, to call someone his friend. But he never had such things throughout his whole life.

With a resolute heart he said to himself "If this means a new beginning, then i shall have my name written above the heavens. I'll overcome all my fears from the past. I'll conquer everything which i lacked before."

As the three hours were over, vinox's voice once again sounded

[Understanding of the native language has been provided to the host]

The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

At this point , James felt a warm sensation all over.

"Ahhhhh"

He heard a women's voice , painful yet filled with happiness.

"Endure it mistress, it'll be over soon". Another voice sounded.

"Call Master Thomas" ..... "I... Ok"

A while later Master Thomas walked into the room. He had a tall built and muscular arms. About 2 meters tall. His face had a deep scar starting from his left eye and reaching to the jawline his lower jaw. He exuded the aura of dominance.

With a curious look on his face he asked in a low voice "What happened? ....... How's my wife and what about the baby?"

"Mistress Julia is doing just fine and the baby is healthy as well. It's a boy" The lady said with a delightful smile on her lips.

"Hahaha.... finally I've been blessed with a son. He'll accomplish great things in the future." He was so happy that tears started flowing out from his eyes.

After thinking about something for a while, Thomas held his son in his hands and said

"I've decided, you'll be called James"

(TL: James is a classic, traditional name meaning "supplanter" or "replacer." It's derived from the Latin Jacomus which also means "may God protect.")

He wiped off the tears and proclaimed in a loud and resonating voice "You will become a legend and create your own history. Shining like an untouchable sun at the very apex."

"So it turns out my soul was transplanted into this infant's body when it was still in it's mother's womb. And i was born right after that" James thought.

All the people present exclaimed in joy "Congratulations Mr Thomas"

"Congratulations Mrs Thomas"

Thomas Smith was the vice family head of the "War Clan" of eastern Wuju city. The War Clan was famous for it's strong, unyielding, dominating and aggressive members . They fought countless wars for generations and the number of wars they faced defeat in could be counted on one hand.

Very soon the whole palace broke out in a commotion. As this was a joyous occasion, preperations were made to hold a banquet at the main Clan hall.

James could not open his eyes for now , nor was his vocal chord developed enough to speak. But if he could speak at this moment, he would say "I want some peace and quite. So leave me alone". And if he were to do that now, Thomas and the others would've been petrified on the spot... :D

As he wasn't able to open his eyes for now , so he only deduced some facts through hearing the conversations.

After confirming the situation, a single thought ran through his mind.
