It was late in the night, Fu was on a bus, playing a game on his phone. There was nothing special with this game. You could choose one out of three creatures as your avatar, next you will explore the map, fight monsters in the wildness, gain experience, and new skills while you leveled up, evolving to stronger forms of your avatar.

Sometimes, he encountered bugs while playing but instead of getting angry, he noted and reloaded the game to the next save. It was normal after all, he was a beginner when it came to programming, and there was no shame in making mistakes when you were just starting.

Fu noted the errors in his notebook and kept on playing. He was now using what should have been the weakest of the creature playable, the rat monster. The starting attributes of the rat monster were many points less than those of the tiger, wolf, and dragon monsters. It was also the monster whose evolution was the slowest. On the other hand, it was pretty easy to make it evolve as a lesser amount of experience points were needed.

Fu raised his head away from his phone for some time and looked through the glasses. He was not that far away from his stop. The woman on the seat next to him was sleeping. There was a young boy not far away who was asking a candy from his mother, there was also a loving couple who were whispering sweet words to each other.

Everything seemed fine, Fu almost wanted to throw his phone away and enjoy the scenery along the way; Something he had not done for a while; between his part-time job, his school, and his programming project.

It was at that time that he saw the light of a truck shining on the other side of the road running straight toward the side of the bus.

Time seemed to slow down as the impact happened, Fu wanted to curse, he wanted to run away but found himself unable to move. The woman next to him was the first to bear the strength of the shock and in the middle of the shower of blood, he followed suit. There were still so many things that he wanted to accomplish in his life...

After an unknown amount of time, Fu woke up. He opened his eyes and found himself in the middle of a strange room, with a wall made of wood. It was a strange architectural style like those in eastern movies.

" I am still alive?" He asked somewhat confused.

He did not expect that he will receive an answer the next moment.

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

" yes! You are still alive, and this is thanks to me. I can not believe that my fate is tied to that of a dumb human like you!" A charming woman's voice sounded next to him.

Fu looked around, trying to figure out who was talking but he did not see anyone.

" what happened? How did I come to this place?" Fu asked as his head started to ache.

" you already forgot? You tried to commit suicide in the forest. You almost died. I had no choice but to sacrifice some of my vital essences to save you" the person said with a tone full of resentment.

" vital essence? " the word was even more confusing for Fu.

" stupid mortal. You do not even know about vital essence. It is energy condensed from the life of a cultivator" the Person continued to throw some other confused world.

Luckily, as his headaches receded, some memories started to flow in Fu's perturbed mind. They were the memories of a sixteen years old boy named Fu.

He lived in a world called planet blue star. Here, humans could awaken mythical spirits. 

The boy named Fu was also known as the bastard of the Liu clan. He was the bastard son of the third elder. As the tradition obliged, all the children of the clan would be taken care of by the clan until they were sixteen years old and awakened their mythical spirit.

In Fu's case, he needed to awaken a mystical spirit of good quality to remain in the clan.

He was ignored by his father, bullied by members of the young generation, and shunned all his life. He only enjoyed the least amount of resources. He endured all that suffering in the hole that he will finally reverse his fate when he finally awakened his mystical spirit.

Sadly, it was not the case. A week ago, during the awakening ceremony, he awakened a rat mystical spirit of the word grade becoming the laughingstock of the whole family. He was also going to be expelled from the clan.

Designated to his fate, he finally decided to commit suicide in the neighboring forest.

Fu had read many novels in his past life so he was not a stranger to a situation like that. But it still felt unsure.

" so I poisoned myself to death and you saved me?" Fu summarised.

" yes. It was pretty easy since the Phoenix flames can purify almost every poison in the world" the woman's voice said proudly. 

Fu was starting to doubt the maturity of that person.

" so I failed because you could not keep yourself out of other people's matter?" Fu asked.

"Yes... What are you saying? You are not happy? I saved your life?" The person was going to brag but stopped when she thought about that.

' it seems like this person does not know that I replaced the other' Fu thought.

" ungrateful mortal, I am not talking with you anymore. You better not try to commit suicide anymore now that our fates are tied together, or I will make you suffer a fate a hundred times worst than death. Humph," the woman's voice said angrily before disappearing.

" hey? Who are you? What do you mean by our fates are tied together? Where are you?..." Fu asked many questions in a row without obtaining an answer.

The mysterious person had just disappeared without leaving a single trace.
