Hello! It is I!!! Your NARRATOR! Although I guess I'm also the main character, but not really. I am just whatever weird voice that is in your head and pretends to be the main characters inner dialogue thing is. That doesn't matter though, right now I am here to tell you all about our silly little MC (me) and what the heck is going to be going on! Our story starts about four years after I was born into some sort of xianxia world; I was reincarnated and have always felt a strange sixth sense of qi and spacetime and stuff. As far as I'm aware what little I know about spacetime from watching you tube videos is pretty much true here. I have this sensation that sends information into my brain of where any mass is in space and where the lines of time are flowing, with time bending toward any mass giving it a gravitational pull and what not. And then after finding this out, as any definitely normal person would do, I put 100% of my time into learning how to manipulate qi, and just today, and by today I mean right now like 2 seconds ago, I was finally able to do something!!! After many many many hours learning how to manipulate qi(magic juice that changes reality) inside and outside of my body, and change my natural qi that comes from my dantian (some weird metaphysical organ that is basically a heart but instead of blood its magic juice) into spacetime qi (magic juice but it is specifically good at magicking spacetime), I was able to wrap my qi around a rock someone accidentally kicked near me while I was sitting outside. Then using this pocket I created by surrounding the rock, I gave it a little nudge along the lines of time and it started flying backwards to where it was kicked from! Not that fast though, sadly, and the pocket of qi I created kinda just disintegrated halfway through the sad slow snails pace trip in the air, releasing the rock into the normal spacetime around it, where it followed the normal lines of time, which pulled straight it down toward the Earth.

Unfortunately, I wasn't the only one in our courtyard. As I was technically only four years old, I am watched by someone almost all the time. And they started yelling something or other when the rock started floating and a bunch of other people came running to find what was wrong just in time to see the last few seconds of the rocks journey back in time, and me sitting there staring at the rock with 100% of my attention. None of them actually asked me or talked to me about any of it, although quite a couple of around 35 children and adults where just staring at me. I was glad they didn't though, and it was probably because I happen to be the most anti-social, people hater of all time. To be honest, I don't know a single person here. Hell, I don't even know my own mother. After I was born, I pretty quickly figured out what qi was after seeing the doctors use a tiny amount of it to help soothe my mother, and then after that I completely ignored every single person and focused my entire being on controlling this qi. The following years I never looked someone in the eye or their face at all. My entire life at that point was qi, sleep, and eat. I spent almost 3 years like that, just looking inward toward my dantian and ignoring all else. However, It had to end at one point, and one day I got punched in the face by some 6 year old kid who was speaking gibberish, which I now know was an actual language, and I realized I was in some sort of orphanage surrounded by caretakers and children. Thus started the worst year of my life where adults kept trying to talk to me and make me learn the language and reading and writing, while kids kept bullying me because I would completely ignore and avoid them. After that year though I did end up learning the language and reading/writing so unfortunately Its hard to just ignore the people yelling right next to me about how crazy what I did is.

"Did you just see that!!! He used qi! At four years old!"

"Who taught him that? I didn't even know kids could manipulate qi at all until at least six, let alone outside of their body"

"How did he even do that? I can barely even lift a blade of grass with just my qi and I'm 12!"

And so on and so forth for about a minute or two before the head honcho came in. Leaping from some nearby roof the headmaster of the orphanage slammed onto the ground before standing up and looking straight into my eyes before I could look away. I never looked directly into someone's eyes before, but his were terrifying, so much more than I ever thought possible. I could see deep into his soul with just a brief look and all I saw was fire, endless all consuming fire. I felt so much hidden rage behind his eyes, I felt the strength of his qi, I could tell how many people he burned to get his qi like that, I knew how far he was willing to go to be able to keep burning. And I felt him smile, not see, felt. The air itself felt like his emotions of happiness and relief. I instinctively knew that my talent was what would keep his fire burning, what would let him leave this orphanage and continue his rampage and pursuit of power. He didn't even give me time to react before he grabbed my and flung me over his shoulder before leaping away from the orphanage.

I didn't know where we were going or why he was taking me, which it might be better if he just let me figure it out then talk to me *shudder*. He jumped across the roofs of the village the orphanage was in, leaving its confines within two leaps, crossing at least 15 houses each time. After that we were on a road, I was left staring off behind us as he started running instead of jumping, building more and more speed. Eventually he started even shooting fire off from his feet in a jet behind him as we ran increasing our speed even more. The wind was almost unbearably loud past my ears and It felt I was moving even faster than a car at top speed. We went on like this for hours before we slowed down gradually and stopped. He set me down and when I turned I saw an immense mountain range. The peaks were arranged into a circle at the top with hundreds or maybe even thousands of buildings built along and inside of the rock. People flying across the top 1/4 and I could witness other displays of magic shooting off into the air. There were lasers, fireballs, icicles, phenoxies and many other types of magic shooting off target. Each peak was capped with a different environment and architecture. There was a peak covered in snow, with evergreen trees, log cabins, igloos, and even an ice castle. One was covered in sand and desert plants with a river flowing from the top of the mountain down the side with greenery surrounding. Another was covered in crystals that reflected the light to make the entire tip of the mountain a rainbow of color. Before I could look any longer though I was basically dragged after the headmaster who was grumbling something about how I don't pay attention and was just standing there. I was unfortunately not brought up to the magic peaks but instead almost thrown into some random slum at the bottom of the mountains. He then started to explain things to me before I could run and hide away in this new magic territory.

"Listen kid, Its sad that you are so young, but you met the requirement to enter the sect by manipulating qi outside of your body under the age of 8 so here you are. You are the last of my quota and I can finally leave that god forsaken orphanage and stop searching for talented children. You must have a lot of talent with ho w young you are but I don't expect you to make it because of that, and I'm not waiting any longer before I can get back on the battlefield. I unfortunately have to tell you this first, there are no laws at the base of the mountain. Whoever makes it into the first meridian tier before 10 can enter the outer sect, anyone else is killed after becoming 10 years old. Goodbye." He then leaps into the air as fast as he can shooting fire way to close to me before disappearing in the distance away from the orphanage.

Now I'm left alone, finally. Much better than the orphanage, to me at least, no one looking after me all the time and I'm free to practice qi and do whatever I want. The only bad part is that after he left I can see a couple scrawny kids exit from some alleyways and they do not look nice. Before I can even walk away one of them bumps into me from behind and starts spewing some standard mugger talk about his territory or whatever and to hand over whatever I have. I'm pretty sure I know where this is going too. Ever since I saw the headmasters eyes I realized something, this is not a peaceful world but a dog eat dog world. Before the main guy talking can even finish his spiel however, one of the smallest boys in the group, still at least a head taller than my four year old body, smacks me straight on the jaw with a 4x4 he was holding. I don't even see it coming until after I'm hit. My head spun around and I fell to my knees. I heard some yelling after that but I couldn't make out what they were saying. All I could think about was the pain in my jaw, the ringing of my ears, and the tears in my eyes. I can't even stand back up, every time I stumble. Some sort of ability in me to crawl was still left through all this pain, I couldn't think, I couldn't walk, the kid that hit me must have used qi with how fast and hard it hit me, and all I could do was slowly crawl and stumble away. I didn't know where I was going or how long I was crawling before I felt searing pain hit my stomach. My vision flashed white and went out of focus. Those bastard kids started kicking me! Two of them started pummeling me with kicks as I curled into a ball while one of the other smaller ones was rummaging through my pockets while I couldn't do anything but defend myself. Before long, I was left broken on the street a few feet away from the ally. The kids stopped pretty quickly after they found nothing in my pockets. However, they soon started hitting me even harder after that, angry at my poverty.

It started raining now. I was still on the street. I passed out shortly after, but the rain almost drowned me in my sleep. Crawling so so slowly I made it to the ally and was able to sit up straight, my head out of the slowly increasing water level draining down the mountain, and then I passed out again.
