The next morning, Ran woke up in his room, the first thing that he saw was the broken ceiling of their wooden house, as he slowly sat down he immediately scan the room for a mirror.
When he saw one, he quickly looked at himself, Ran can't help but let out a heavy sigh. He has this woman's complexion on his skin that would turn any woman jealous, he has this very handsome face that would make him a target for man's jealousy, but putting aside those he has this weak body that cannot cultivate, the only hope he has was within his system.
But when Ran remembered his system capability the temptation of using it rose as he hardly resists it. He knows that he needed to understand his situation first.
"I have two memories in my head, the first is my original memory and the second is the memory of the former owner of my body, then... hmn.. the village name is manta. "
Manta was the name of the village where Ran's family resided. His father was a common farmer in this village and his mother was a simple housewife. They are living together in a small wooden house. Unlike small clans that have resources, Ran's family was independent and did not belong to any clan. It is not that they do not want it but they just can't. His parents can be considered foreigners in this place, they do not have any relatives inside the village. Because of that Ran had experienced tons of difficulties in his life, he was always bullied by the other families and mocked by everyone for his pitiful weak body.
Ran always complained to his parents about his difficulties, but even his parents can't do anything about it, and whenever Ran asks why they don't have relatives, they simply avoid that topic.

The Village of Manta was one of many villages under the Florencia sect. Like the other Villages, they have a monthly contribution. Each month was 500 Gold coins, which was their payment for protection.
Ran finds himself all alone in the house.
"Maybe they are already on the farm side or at the market place."
Looking outside the house, it was indeed a poor and small village. This village is outdated and rural. On the opposite end of their house, he could see a few similarly broken-down old houses. The streets were unpaved and filled with yellow, muddy sand, making the area dusty.
But in a different light, one could live closer to nature in this way. One could also carefreely live their remaining days in this peaceful place.
At the same time, the village was unexpectedly quiet, and the streets were deserted.
Ran couldn't care less about the beauty of the village. He is not a nature lover type, he just casually walked and looked around for villagers, but there was nobody.
"This is weird. I could hear movements outside a while ago. How did the village become deserted so shortly after going out?"
He started to frown, puzzled over the situation. Not too far off, the sound of concentrated footsteps could be heard. Clouds of sand dust could also be seen. Several able-bodied villagers, armed with farming tools, were rushing on the street.
Suddenly someone called Ran from the crowd, she was a young lady with a very familiar face as she waved her hands with Ran, he walked in her direction, at first recognizing her was difficult because of the crowds but as Ran got a closer view, he gradually remembers who she was.
She has long brown hair with blonde highlights, nowhere near the point of being black. It cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall flowing mildly. The breeze blew through her curls, straightening them into waves that whipped about behind her.
Both her eyes are dazzling emerald green which is beautiful and perfectly fits her otherworldly looks. she wore an ordinary dress but her stunning beauty overshadowed it making her name truly fit her, she really appeared as if an angel descended on the mortal world.
Her name was Angel Yen, she was a daughter of an ordinary farmer the same as Ran's father, they were best friends since childhood, and they knew each other a lot.
