Chapter 1: A New Life...Sort of?

A man lay on a large expanse of beautiful green grass, which seemed to stretch endlessly into the distance. He was perfect, with medium length pitch black hair, and golden eyes that seemed to gently shine. He had a lean and lithe frame, and his skin was pale and smooth. He was around 190 centimeters tall, and wore a white military uniform.  

A gentle breeze swept across the vast field, giving off a pleasant feeling. However, this tranquil scene was suddenly broken as a large wave of fire suddenly rampaged towards him, completely incinerating everything in it's path. The fire was a majestic blue, and seemed to carry boundless mysteries within. Before the fire could reach him, his voice rang out. It was mesmerising, gentle, yet dangerous all at the same. Even the most vocally gifted angel could only cry in shame and humiliation in comparison. However, the truly surprising thing was, the flames filled with boundless power and mystery, were completely dispersed. 

"Celestia, be more careful. This is a spar, not a death match. Besides, you should be aiming for Fenris, not me." He said jokingly, a small smile stretching across his handsome features. Several hundred miles away, five colossal beings relentlessly fought each other. The first was a majestic phoenix, enshrouded in beautiful crimson flames. The second was a mighty silver dragon, whose scales shone brightly in the sunlight. The third was a massive white wolf which had chains around it's limbs. The fourth was simply an amazingly beautiful woman, whose size was easily dwarfed by the titanic beings around her. The last was a large black snake, which seemed to have no presence, almost as though it didn't exist.

"They're making progress, master. They could probably take on the Aesir all by themselves by now." The one who spoke was standing to his left. It was a stunningly beautiful woman, with pitch black hair and crimson eyes. She had flawless pale skin, and enticing natural red lips. Her figure was slim and graceful, yet also seemed to ooze a natural and enthralling sensuality. She wore a tight clinging black dress, and two eerie black feathered wings were spread wide open. Above her head, a cracked and broken blood colored halo floated, signifying her status as the leader of the fallen angels.

"Alyssa, while they may be making progress, they will never be able to surpass the likes of me, the great Lucifer!" This came from a woman standing to his right. She had beautiful blonde hair, and deep blue eyes. Her skin was pale, and her lips were a light shade of pink. She had a curvaceous figure, and her tight clinging white dress only seemed to make it that much more attractive. Unlike Alyssa, Lucifer had an imposing pair of pure white wings sprouting from her back, giving her a holy air, and a bright golden halo shone, showing her status as the ruler of the Angels.

They were both silenced when Joseph started to talk. "Lucifer, how is the training of the army going?"

"It is going well master, we currently have around 50 trillion soldiers ready to be mobilized. None with a combat power less than a standard low primordial. As for the amount of competent generals, it is around 50 million. That leaves roughly 1 million soldiers to be commanded by each general. There are trillions more in training as we speak." He let out a laugh, but it sounded slightly empty, causing the two beautiful women beside him to look a bit sad.

"Well, at least the next time those idiots come I will be more prepared than those before me. I'm sure that alliance of fools will come to ruin my peace eventually. After all, they have done it so many times others, but unlike them I am not weak" He looked slightly annoyed at the mention of the alliance, but it soon disappeared, replaced instead by a smile. 

Seeing their masters beautiful smile, the two girls beside him blushed, and a slight look of longing sparked deep within their eyes. Seeing their current appearence, he merely laughed, and winked at them before calling out to the five figures who were stil fighting a desperate battle hundreds of miles away.

"Thana, Sylvia, Fenris, Amaterasu, Celestia, stop your spar and come over here, please." His voice rang out lightly. Despite only being slightly louder than a whisper, his voice was mysteriously able to travel hundreds of miles and still be heard perfectly clear.

Thana, the black snake turned into a tall, yet beautiful woman. She had long, dark purple hair, and intimidating red eyes. Her eyes were cold and unfeeling, and her skin was extremely pale. She wore tight fitting purple robes, and carried a dark red spear. She had no presence, as though a phantom who could disappear at any moment.

Next was Sylvia, the silver dragon. She turned into a stunning woman with bright silver eyes, and long silver hair. her skin was pale, and her lips were a light pink. She had a perfect figure, and wore a flashy silver dress. She gave off a proud, royal feeling that belongs to those who rule over others. She held a european longsword, which made you feel as though you be cut to ribbons just looking at it.

Fenris turned into a tall woman with wolf ears and a white tail. Her hair was snow white, and her eyes were a fierce golden. She had a perfect figure, and wore a white kimono. She seemed to give off a primal feeling, similar to that of a wild beast. She carried a massive claymore, which gave off a suffocating amount of bloodlust.

Amaterasu had long straight black hair, and burning golden eyes. She had perfect pale skin, and her face was perfect. Her figure was curvaceous, and the golden armor she wore was incapable of hiding that fact. Sheathed at her waist was a beautiful ornate katana, and floating by her side was a beautiful golden mirror.

Last was Celestia, the phoenix. She turned into a red haired beauty with burning eyes. Her skin was pale, and her lips a bright vibrant red. She had a good figure and she wore a bright red dress. She gave off a majestic aura, much like Sylvia’s. She had no weapon,and flames flickered dangerously over her body, as though living serpents protecting her from harm.

“You called for us master?” They spoke in unison, respect and admiration heard clearly within their voices.

“Yes, we are going on a bit of a...vacation. As for what it is...well, you’ll see find out. After all, when you five vowed to become my servants, I did promise adventure!” He let out a laugh, with a small smirk on his face. As soon as he said that, he recalled all seven of them too his soul space. Moments later he was standing in the middle of a massive formation which glowed with a mysterious blue power.

“Hmm, a higher god is summoning a soul to be put in a body? For what purpose I wonder? Well, might as well check it out!” With that said, the formations glow intensified. When the light died out, the formation was gone, and he was gone with it.

He opened his eyes, just to see an unfamiliar tree canopy. He felt that he was floating on the surface of a river. He quickly swam to shore, and assessed the area. It was a forest full of massive trees. None seemed to be shorter than at least 100 meters.

He then checked himself, just to find that he had not lost any body strength, qi purity or quantity, his treasury was fine, and all of his servants were fine. What surprised him, however, was that there was a large bloody hole in his shirt.

“Well that’s a relief. I don’t know what I’d do if something happened to those 6 bundles of energy. Now then, what about this body…?” He was broken out of his thoughts by the sound of a snapping branch, and quickly turned around. Around 50 meters away stood a massive bear, that stood to at least 10 meters tall. It had dark silver fur, and black spines protruded from it’s back.

It let out a loud roar, and charged, closing 10 meters a step. Joe merely snorted, and swiped his hand at the bear. In an instant, the bear burst into mere blood mist, which quickly dispersed in the air.

“Well, now that that’s over with, time to find out what happened!” Accessed the memory of ‘his’ body. He was surprised by what he saw.

Joseph Amida’s POV

The original host of this body shared my name, and was the 2nd son of the Grand Duke of the Northern Empire of Ymir. Ymir was known for it’s military might, easily having the largest army, and best troops. The world had many different races, including but not limited too, elves, dwarves, angels, demons, orcs, and humans. Ymir was also the last surviving human run Empire. There used to be more, but they had combined into a massive alliance, and declared war on all the non-human countries. In the end they were defeated, their kingdoms dismantled and their people enslaved. Ymir was the only empire that didn't join, and therefore had not been touched.

The original host was mocked and disdained for being weak. Afterall, he was blessed with heavenly looks, and amazing cultivation talent. However, his dantian had been crippled, leaving him unable to cultivate for the rest ofhis life. However, even though he couldn't cultivate, he was still extremely popular amongst the female nobles in the capital, and was thus assassinated out of jealousy.

From his memories, I knew I was in a place called the valley of fire, as it is known to be the place where a powerful fire dragon sleeps. Well, powerful for them anyway. If I really wanted to, I wouldn’t even have to breathe in order to kill it. I leisurely walked out of the forest, and headed towards the capital.

I got to the gate and the guards recognized me. They let me pass, but they had looks of disdain in their eyes. I ignored them and continued walking. Everyone on the street gave me veiled looks of disdain and mocking, but little did they know, I wasn't the same weakling they were accustomed too. I continued walking until I got to the large castle like structure that served as the home of the 2nd Grand Duke. Walking through the door, I saw a maid who was on her knees, bawling her eyes out

When she heard the door open, she looked up, revealing her tear stained, yet still beautiful face. Seeing my appearence, she jumped up, an expression of joy and relief filling her previously distrought and teary appearence.

“Young master, you're back! We’ve been searching for days, what happened!?” She ran up and hugged me tightly, a bright smile was plastered on her face. I smiled back, recognizing her from my memories. She was my personal

She stood at 170 centimeters, and had long black hair, violet eyes, and beautiful pale skin. Her body was curvaceous, and she had a rather large bust. She wore a french maid uniform, which gave her an adorable vibe rather than the sensual appearence her race was known for. She was a succubus, part of the demon race. Unlike her races stereotypes, she would get flustered at any mention of love, no matter how small. She was generally a timid person, but was very strong by this world’s standards.

The were many different cultivation ranks. Body Strengthenthening Realm, Spirit Realm, Nascent Soul Realm, Origin Warrior Realm, Profound Warrior Realm, Heavenly Warrior Realm, Saint, Martial Saint, Divine Saint, Divine King/Queen, and lastly Divine Emperor/Empress.. Every rank had 9 stages that you would have to get to before you could get to the next rank. Lilith was a rank 9 Divine Saint, and was very close to breaking through to become a Divine Queen. , an extremely powerful existence that could not be lightly trifled with. Even the biggest empires only had roughly 20 Divine Saints each. Divine Kings could be counted on one hand, and there is only one living Divine Emperor, the ruler of Ymir. He is the biggest reason Ymir hasn’t been attacked by the non-human empires that surround us.

Hearing her shout, a large amount of maids and butlers soon crowded around me. They shouted things like “Thank the gods he’s alright!” or “The young master is back!”. However, they were all quieted down by a booming shout.

“What is all this ruckus about…?!”
