This was the 100th job interviews that Miu Liu get rejected this month. It has been 4 years now that Miu Liu looked for a new job and was jobless. He secluded himself after dropping middle school because people in his school bullied him. His depression started when a girl from his school stole him his glasses and never gave him back. His vision started to worsened and with his family poor status, he couldn't afford to buy new glasses. Finally, after that his own mother kicked him out, he searched for 3 years but didn't find any part-times jobs while being jobless and homeless.
While having these thought Mi Liu was walking totally expressionless in the city.
Unfortunately, before he could even have noticed that he went through the red light, Miu Liu's body was crushed by a car.

Meanwhile, in another world, inside the villa of the Ba Clan.
"Young master, you need to run away! You are the last hope of the Ba Clan! You can't afford to die here."
An old man aged of 81 years was protecting an 8 years old boy from several assassins and expert fighter He guided the young boy to a secret road inside the castle and left the whole clan behind. Screams from outside could be heard in the underground, but the old butler, Ba Kushi could only go foward with Ba Kuan, the young heir of the Ba clan without looking behind him.
When they finally left from the underground, they ran toward the nearest forest, a dangerous deadly forest called 'Pyang Forest'. But they didn't notice that assassins were following them and get ambushed inside the entrance of the forest. The old butler, Ba Kushi protected Ba Kuan from the assassins while the young boy escaped from the place. But unfortunately, Ba Kushi let 2 of the assassins escaping while fighting and after dealing with the remaining, rushed towards Ba Kuan's direction.

The assassins finally caught Ba Kuan and killed him without forgetting to give him a strong poison pill.
"Our mission is done, let's head back and report to master."
Both assassins who chased Ba Kuan finally left leaving the young boy alone with a deadly poison pill inside his mouth and his hearth pierced by a dagger. This sphere was famous around the world, it was a deadly poison called 'Snake Deadly Pearl'. Those who swallowed this poison received horrible pain accompanied with instant death after thirty seconds. This poison also block all meridians of the body and once swallowed it, cannot use Qi energy nor magic energy from the body anymore, becoming a simple commoner for life.
Once Ba Kushi arrived at his young master side, he noticed the poison that Ba Kuan swallowed and started to blame himself. Without Ba Kuan, the clan is doomed. He was the last successor of the Ba Clan, without him Ba Kushi couldn't reconstruct the noble and strong clan once called 'Sorcerer Clan".
Ba Kushi threw the 'Snake Deadly Pearl' from Ba Kuan's mouth and the dagger from his hearth, then started hitting his fist until that blood started to flow. It was his fault, now that the young master died, he no longer had an existence in life. Furthermore, he couldn't even avenge the clan alone, not even talking about rising back the clan when the only successor died.
After around five minutes, he noticed the strange phenomenon happening to the young master. little light balls gradually started to appeared near Ba Kuan's body and slowly entered in the body. The pale color of the body started to slowly become better and suddenly, Ba Kuan's eyes opened and his upper body stood up as if he had awoken from a bad dream.

Ba Kushi, noticing this miracle didn't moved amazed. Both of his eyes directed towards Ba Kuan, he couldn't believe what happened. It was common sense that once someone drank the 'Snake Deadly Pearl', the death rate was high, and even if the poison is cured, the body needed at least a year to recover. But right now, Ba Kuan woke up as if nothing happened to him, making Ba Kushi frown and pinched his cheek then regained his composure. Ba Kushin didn't knew at that time but Mi Liu already entered in Ba Kuan's body and his bloodiness power awakened.

"Young master! Are you alright? Thanks god, heaven still didn't abandon us!"
Hearing the voice that was coming few meters away from him, Ba Kuan was still half sleeping and a sudden pain went through his brain.
"Aaaargh!" He screamed in pain after few seconds fainted once again. Ba Kushi directly rushed towards Ba Kuan's body and shaked his body in panic trying to wake him up.
"Young master! Young master!"
After few minutes, Ba Kuan woke up. But inside Ba Kuan's body was no longer the former Ba Kuan, but Mi Liu with all of Ba Kuan's memories, but there is no way Ba Kushi knew that...
Mi Liu didn't talk, he was still looking a tree, dazed and recollecting all the memories from Ba Kuan's brain and the 'Doll System'. Then he suddenly turned toward Ba Kushi and spoke.
"Grandpa Kushi, sorry for making you worry but I'm fine now."
Hearing Mi Liu's answer, Ba Kushi became relieved and his heart calmed down. He then explained the situation to Mi Liu. They left the place and directed towards the Kashu Empire.
Mi Liu recollected all Ba Kuan's memories so he knows that the whole Ba clan has been exterminated and with Ba Kushi they were the only survivors. He also knew that the poison he had swallowed just now block his meridians and could no longer use Qi or magic power making him depressed. He couldn't believe about the reincarnation happened to him just now, but. was more concerned with the situation happening to this former body, Ba Kuan.
Inside Mi Liu's mind, he remembered everything since Ba Kuan was born, so his hatred for the Royal Family and his wish to avenge his clan didn't fade. Mi Liu wasn't really the type of guy to follow the path of revenge but he was a schemer and right now what he really needed was manpower and help from another country.
The actual king, main branch of the Royal Family, Shi Kao ordered the extermination of the Ba clan for treason. Thus, every clans that was working under the Royal Family invaded Ba clan. Now that the Ba clan has been exterminated, every clans inside the Royal Empire are trying to rise their strength to become one of the 5 strongest clan of the Royal Empire. They never expected that Ba Kuan, heir of the Ba clan was still alive, directing towards the neighborhood country asking for help...
