Floating planet Yǐn lóng
This tiny floating planet was located on the outer skirts of the galaxy. It isn't a big planet, well it wouldn't be able to compare to any of the inner planets but it was big enough to house millions of families, beasts and wildlife.
The planet is and has always been naturally rich with minerals and raw materials, with green and violet forests as well as vegetation towering above the built cities, that had a canopy that allowed people to move about and live upon if they wished. With brown and blue land that had long ago detached itself from the mainland and floating above the ground in a similar fashion to steps, continuing to rise and float into the boundless milky orange sky.
These floating islands looked majestic, from afar they looked like another country where people created homes and shops. It was extremely amazing because these lands would move about the whole planet. People who lived on top of them would be similar to nomads! However, some floating rocks had giant study brown, grey inky and orange roots visibly stretching from the mainland through the floating rocks to create stunningly beautiful scenery that would inspire painters and song writers from all over the planet.
Waterfalls crashing into the mainland, also flowing slowly up to the sky. The scenery was filled with all different colors red, violet, green and blue it was a truly stunning floating planet.
Within this floating planet was a large mansion, bigger than all the other mansions on the planet.
This mansion was located at the tip of one huge hill. The mansion walls had dragons, snakes and tigers chiseled into the walls, trying to tell the viewer a story. It would tell each person a different story depending on their mood and perspective on life. The images looked like an embroidery on a piece of clothing, if one looked at this house, they would get the feeling of wealth and history.
This was naturally, the controlling family's mansion of the planet the Xuanze family. within the rear end of the courtyard, which was the kitchen area of the mansion a seemingly young youth could be seen walking out in a very calm manner. He seemed calm but he really wasn't! Dressed in a milky silk robe which was buttoned perfectly to give of an esteemed air, and his combed sparkling hair he looked extremely smart and tidy.
This youth had pitch black hair, and pitch black eyes he was walking out into the fields in a very calm and slow fashion. Right now he was frequently looking to his right and left, before he couldn't stay calm no longer with both his small hands he grabbed the top half of his robe and with a 'pipipipipi' he pulled the buttons apart, next he immediately threw his right hand into his hair and began to mess it up. Now he looked like anything but an esteemed wealthy boy, looked more like a gangster a rebel youth who wouldn't listen to his seniors!

As soon as he finished messing his hair he began picking up speed, sprinting to the nearby lake. There just past the starting of the lake, could be seen three more children. These children each waiting in anticipation for something, their eyes were glued to the horizons and two of the kids had snot in their noses leaking down.
A few breaths of time had passed before a youth with black hair came sprinting towards the lake, they had seen him approach and began shouting in an unrestrained manner "Wenrou, boss what took you long. we have been here all morning, did the master make you clean the shitty toilets again!?" Wenrous face twitched the moment he heard shitty toilets.
He was the leader of this group and had to sometimes mercilessly beat them up to make them remember, he just snickered at this. He couldn't contest it but then he quickly rebutted it, he replied in a commanding fashion "I had to clean the toilets because your mom cooks shit food, which makes all the people in the house shit more!"
The youth who shouted in an unrestrained manner, quickly began to look like he was pondering, thinking about the times he had to have shits after his moms meal, he looked like he understood what his boss had said. He quickly nodded in a simple fashion, accepting his bosses reply. This youth had short brown hair and was dressed in red shirt that came down to his waist, and beige silk pants, and simple black footwear. His name was Xuanze de pu ren.
The youth standing on the far right looked contemplative to, with a face that was crumbled, he began remembering the times he had shit his bed and quickly began to blame his friends mom. This youth had ginger hair and freckles on his face, he had blue eyes, and even though he was just 8 years old he already had signs of a mustache growing! This would make him feel extremely proud, like he was further developed when he compared himself to the other kids. He too was dressed in red shirt, and beige pants with simple black shoes. His name was Xuanze xia ren 2.
The most fragile looking youth was in the middle of these two, he seemed to have an aura of nobility around him. His clothes was far different to everybody's made from much smoother silk and brighter red color that complemented his young skin. He looked extremely handsome in his tiny robe, looking exactly like a small leader.
This youth was called Jie Xialai de Xuanze. Jie resembled Wenrou a lot. Actually Wenrou was his fathers mistresses son, whilst he was the main heads legitimate child. He was around about 2 years younger than Wenrou and seemed extremely happy the moment he seen Wenrous body come over the hill, and rushing down from the hill towards them.

Even though Wenrou had the same blood coursing through their veins, they was vastly different! Wenrou was given nice clothes because he was the mistresses son, but at the end of the day he was still a slave! Nothing could change this fact, not all the good clothes in the world or even his facial features that looked like the main head of the family.
The youths all gathered up outside of the still lake, the only thing that could be heard was the waterfall, the birds chirping, and the occasional wind howling.
Wenrous voice came out extremely fast and overbearing as he neared the youths "Get in line you dogs! I am so close yet you don't conduct yourselves like my subordinates!" he seemed discontent, no matter how much he tried to teach these kids to conduct themselves when they met at their military headquarters it seemed they would completely forget every time!
The three younger youths all quickly moved and stood in an orderly fashion side by side, whilst Wenrou stood ahead of them with his hand on his chin walking from left to right. He was currently assessing these youths.
Wenrou could see they all had no dirt on their faces, they looked to be clean and gleaming from being extremely clean, to perfect to be in an army! Thought Wenrou, he quickly knelt down and twisted his head to his left while both his hands had been positioned on his knees to support him, he turned and looked at each one. Before long all the three youths could hear was 'pu' , 'pu' , 'pu'.
Three mid sized spit balls flew through the air and landed on to their faces, the youths standing, didn't dare argue with their commander even if they felt extremely discontent. However, the youth in the middle looked like anything but discontent? His eyes gleamed with curiosity and before long voiced his thoughts "brother Wenrou, why thou bless us with holy spit water?" he looked curious as he began to rub the spit along his face, thinking it was a blessing from the heavens. He looked extremely happy.
Wenrou just slightly gave them a fierce gaze, they had seen this look many times, each time they received this gaze they would have the shit kicked out of them for being insubordinate.
Wenrou just slightly raised his head without changing his body posture, like he was to high to look directly down at these youths, he said in a simple yet smart fashion like he understood everything about this world, "you all have faces that are too clean, being to clean is naturally not good. You must add a bit of dirt to be perfect!" whilst he was speaking his left hand instinctively raised and was pointing into the air towards nothing, he sounded like what he was saying, was definitely true and must not be questioned.
The other youths nodded in agreement, soon they to began spitting in each others faces without holding back, some spits would include a bit of snot and phlegm. Suddenly Jie spat in Wenrous face. Wenrou already in a kneeling position fell back because he tried to dodge the incoming spit, clearly he overestimated his reflex capabilities and was lying for a moment before he regained his composure he looked at the young boy and looked angry for a second but, soon his face turned red and he couldn't hold back his laughter, and began laughing heartily.
The youths spent the day climbing and fighting and pretending to be an invading army while they would catch bunny beasts, tamed foxes as well as harmless rats beasts and water spirits that lingered around the quiet lake. They looked extremely carefree and from a distance it seemed to these youths that everything good about the world was right in this lake at this very moment.
It wasn't night yet, but the youths all gradually returned back to the mansion, they all moved to their stations.
Wenrou had climbed and leaped onto the mansions sloping roof. He looked at the 3 moons in the sky, while lying on his back. He stretched his left arm and hand into a gesture that seemed like he was trying to grab the moons, whilst he right hand was placed behind his head to provide some minor comfort. His gaze turned serious, he said to himself in an extremely serious manner "My name is Wenrou de Fengtou, I refuse to take the Xuanze name. One day, I will break this slave bond and be my own man! That day I will be a supreme warrior and travel the skies and reach the moons that are always looking down on me. Then I will show them, chaining people to slave names doesn't make you any better! We are all equal!"

Join me in the great adventure of ANT TENSEI! . . Status: [Being Re-written/ Discontinued/On Hiatus] 'Final' Chapter: Chapter 14 . . . _______________________________________________________________ :Official Rewrite Notice: _______________________________________________________________ . . . As of May 18th, 2015, the particular version of Ant Tensei now being titled 'Original' was discontinued in favor 'Redux', the official rewrite of the novel. The reason being that I wasn't actually taking it seriously for more than half of the chapters. All of my Fantasy-Styled works were never originally intended for publication, but after a surprising amount of attention during the initial weeks of release on a different medium, the decision was made to develop my Fantasy-Styled works at my professional level. This decision has thus sparked the decision to Re-Launch Ant Tensei as "Ant Tensei Redux". If there are still a number of those still interested in the old version of the story that was written as a way to relieve myself of excess time, then i'll eventually look into reviving the original intent for Ant Tensei Original and draft off an independant series for it under the title "Ant Tensei Original". For now, however, "Ant Tensei Redux" shall be the only version being progressively developed and released. Please share your thoughts on this early version of my original novel, Ant Tensei. There were 14 chapters of Original released before the development of Redux began, the chapter 7.5 special not included. . . . Enjoy the work. ~White Overall Status: (Ongoing)
