"You two woke up early"
"Hey honey morning" Paul lean on Anna and kiss her
"Morning to you too Paul" Anna blushed
"Morning Anna"
"Morning"
"Say Anna, can I ask you a question?"
"Sure"
"Do I look short?"
"Heh, you're still young. There's plenty of room for you to grow" Anna smile
Young? To think that I, a 32 year old male, is called young is weird
"Young? What do you mean?"
"Well... Just look at yourself in the mirror"
"The mirror is in your bedroom right?"
"How do you know?"
"Paul told me. I was going to check but you're still sleeping. Paul said that you are like a sleeping lion. Docile when sleeping but when disturbed you become fierce" I winked at Paul
"Paul, you....."
"Honey, I did not say that. That boy is lying. Hey boy where are you..."
Hehe... It's funny watching husband and wife quarreling like that. I left them alone and proceed to look at myself in the mirror. I cannot believe this. This..... This is the face that I have when I was 18. What..... what happen? I regress in age? How is that possible?
So that's how it is. It's not that everything is bigger, I got smaller. Before I was 20, I was short as hell, barely reaching 170 cm in height. At 20, I have a growth spurt. I become 180 cm tall and at 24 I was 184 cm tall. Paul seems to be around 180 cm and Anna seems to be around 177 cm in height.
Wait, if I regress does that mean I'm not infected anymore? I tried to change my arm to a blade, and it works. Looks like I'm still an infected. I tried to shapeshift to another person but it looks like I can't. So, augmentation works but shapeshifting doesn't. I wonder if I can still glide. Gliding in nature doesn't sounds too bad.

I walk out from the house and see that Paul and Anna is still bickering at each others.
"Ah, perfect timing boy, please explain to Anna" asked Paul begging me
"About what?" I give a cheeky grin instead
"You...."
"Uhm... I know I already said it yesterday but I want to say it again. Thank you"
Paul blushed a little "Haha, no need boy. As a man, you need to help those in need especially after I found you washed up in the downstream on the river"
"So, what should we call you? You never did tell us your name" asked Anna
"Oh yeah. My name is........."

8 203Dragons of Dark Rebellion in A World of Essence
In a world where cultivation is the highest form of virtue, the purity of one’s blood is of absolute value. Saul is neither Arloni, nor Delcairan. He’s both. But when a strange ring suddenly falls into his hands, nineteen year old Saul is more than willing to push the boundary between fantasy and reality. However, things are not as they once were in Falden. At a time where Saul finally confronts lord Albryte’s sons after years of torment and abuse, his father’s health is fading fast. Suddenly faced with the consequences of his actions, Saul is forced to make a difficult decision. And as he fights his own battle, dark forces descend upon Lucidia. Followed by a pair of glowing red eyes, a stranger appears in the night, visiting Falden with unfavorable intentions. Even worse, nameless assassins strike at the heart of the capital, leaving Eliza Zaryph, the black sheep of the ruling house of Lucidia, shouldering the burden of governing a kingdom that once turned its back on her. As the world marches toward chaos, their lives take a drastic turn. Will Saul abandon those he holds most dear? Will Eliza drown herself in the past? Or will they struggle against fate and seize the future with their own hands? Tomorrow remains uncertain. But the Sun will show them the way. Author's Note: Inspired by the Wuxia/Xianxia genre the magic system is comprised of cultivating through different Worlds of power, where each World offers more strength and abilities. Currently there are five Worlds known: Essence Practitioner, Essence Channeler, Essence Warrior, Essence Conquerer, and finally Essence Ruler. (And for the best reading experience I recomend altering your width setting to about 70 or 80 percent on desktop.) Table of Contents: Prologue Part 1: Homecoming (chapters 1-12) Part 2: Journey (chapters 13-25) About 70 percent complete. I'll update this figure over time and begin posting again after I finish it and go through several rounds of editing.
