The branch head of the eighth branch of the Kartlyn clan, Ren Kartlyn, was pacing outside his bedroom. He was a big man of almost 5’8’’ with just a bit of grey in his jet black hair. His wife, Leena Trianne, was currently inside, fighting a battle of her own. She was pregnant and today was the day. After a few pained shouts from his wife, came the cries of an infant. On hearing them, Ren immediately charged inside the room and found his wife exhausted on the bed and a young girl of fifteen, Riya Kartlyn, his student, holding a baby in her arms.
“Give me my child!” He immediately rushed to her and snatched the child away, scaring her in the process. She had nearly fallen over with the baby still in her arms. “Oh my sweet little girl! Say papa? Come on now, say papa.”
“Master, it’s a boy,” Riya said after getting over her initial scare. Anyone would get used to his occasional antics after being with him for so long.
“Huh?” Ren checked the baby all over, and finally, after a full two seconds, saw it. “Ohhh! Oh my sweet little boy! Say papa? Come on now, say papa.”
Even though Leena was exhausted, she still laughed very hard at that along with the other two.
----------------------------------------
There are four major realms in this world along with some minor realms. Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Delta. This realm is Alpha. Then there are five Empires and a number of smaller countries in the realm. This one is Green Dragon Empire. The Green Dragon Empire is divided into ten provinces and the capital, Centralle. The tenth province further has a number of small and big cities. This city is the Sunfire City, located on the outskirts of the province.
The Kartlyn clan is one of the top ten clans in Green Dragon Empire. Their eight branch is the latest addition who offshooted from the fifth branch. The eighth branch is the current ruler of the Sunfire city.
In addition to the Kartlyn clan, there are two more clan branches and a sect with above average influence in the city. The fifth branch of the Trianne clan famous for their money and ‘Spendor’s Haven’, the biggest auction house in the Empire and the Sayana clan, a local hegemon. The Artificer Hall is the biggest sect in the area and makes high quality artifacts.
This was what Lye Kartlyn, heir of the eight branch and a soon to be 5 years old child understood about the place where he lived.
There are also cultivators here. They absorb the qi of the world and understand the dao to gain immortality. After a month, when Lye will be 5 years old, he will start his cultivation.
Recently, he had started seeing some strange dreams, of places he had never seen before, of events he couldn’t even think about. But, since they were dreams and he was also very small, he always forgot about them quite quickly after waking up.
But tonight was different. When he got embraced by the calmness of sleepiness, he started feeling as if he was leaving his body. Strangely, this experience seemed rather familiar to him. The moment he felt himself severing the last connection to his body, all he perceived around himself was a bright, pure white light. Then he felt as if he was expanding outwards in every direction at the speed of light. After an eternity of expanding, he started contracting into a tiny point, a singularity. When he came to himself after that, all he saw was a world of white around him. It was a room, pure white, furnitured with two white sofas and a white table. On the table were some biscuits and 2 glasses filled a white liquid. On one of the sofas was… me (the author).
While Lye was watching around, I called out to him,”Lye, come sit here. I need to tell you something.”

Like an obedient child, he complied and sat down in front of me. He seemed rather reserved.
“Afraid of me? You don’t have to worry about anything here. Wanna eat something. It's just some warm milk and biscuits. Try them.” I said while dipping a biscuit into my glass and eating it. He clearly wanted to but the warnings that his parents gave him were completing their objective rather well.
“Well, I called you here to give you your memories. With the normal way, you wouldn’t have retained any of your memories. It might be a bit painful but bear with it. Also, when you wake up, think ‘Status’, okay? Well then, I will be going now. Let’s hope we meet again one day. Bye. Good night. Sweet Dreams. Sleep tight. Take care.” I said.
Lye was still too dumbstruck to say anything and so he just watched me, maybe waiting for me to walk away. But it wasn’t me who was going anywhere. The previous scene repeated itself and he was back in his body, awake. It was daytime now. And unlike other dreams, he could remember this one perfectly.
Then came the ‘memories’ as I had called them. The assimilation was quite violent, considering his weak constitution and willpower. He couldn’t help but scream out and faint right then and there.
Lye woke up in the afternoon. His unconsciousness was actually a way to assimilate the memories that he had gotten. It was like he had gone to that world, lived a whole, albeit short, life and died. He finally knew what all those previous dreams were.
Unlike some light novel protagonists, he didn’t suffer from any identity crisis. The person in those memories, ‘Akshay’ had spent a hell of a lot of time on these topics. A person borns and died every second. A lye from a moment ago isn’t the same Lye as the one now. The new memories are like a movie that he saw, just a lot more high-end than the best possible on Earth with a bit more personal attribute mixed in. Then he remembered what I had said, think ‘Status’. He couldn’t even start forming thoughts on having such a system and shaking the world from its foundations. Just that thought was enough, as his mind was immediately overloaded with a lot of information.

The titles are just that. They don’t really do anything by themselves and are gained by recognition. That is, a person could get a dragon slayer title (if it exists) if people believe that. A person can get just about any title if someone with authority (either over him, general or both) bestows it. The only benefits are just the intimacy they might provide from a group. Usually, that is.

Lye was very much shocked at this. But then he started laughing very loudly.
