A soul was flying through the countless planes of existence, searching for a new body. He or rather, it, was timeless. It had little information of his previous life. The only thing it knew was that it was the first, unique throughout all realms, and existed since the beginning of all. It, at this time, only possessed a strong will to survive, but still, it could not find a body it liked.
Countless eons passed since then. It was still drifting in and out of the different planes. This day, it entered one of the minor planes, of which in front of him lay the continent of Jinshuang. It immediately felt as if he was being pulled into the continent. It was as if the heavens willed it so. It could not escape the pull. However, it was eager. After millions of eons worth of time, the first entity of the countless worlds was about to be reborn.
On the outskirts of a small village, a child was about to be born. His parents were exiled nobles, disgraced as a result of their parent generation’s failure.
“Madam! It is a healthy baby boy! Look at his eyes, he looks so smart. He will surely be a outstanding individual!” The midwife praised the baby, somewhat exaggerating her words to curry.

Vanessa smiled thinly. The villagers here were all constantly sucking up to her husband and herself, in the hopes that when and if they return to a city, they would be brought back as servants. But when the midwife placed the baby boy into her arms, she too agreed with whatever the midwife said! The eyes the boy had was twinkling, and the depths of its crystal blue sparkled with intelligence. Looking at him, Vanessa felt as if she was looking at one of the Sages of the temples back in the cities.
“Vanessa!” A muscular man in silk robes walked into the room, giving off a domineering presence. His eyes were the same shade of blue as the baby boy. “Vanessa, what will our child be named?”
“Let’s name him Victor! May he be victorious forevermore!”
“A great name!”
With an order to the midwife, she closed the doors behind her as the couple cuddled around the newborn baby boy.
