《System of Gods and Devils》Chapter 17: Past (Part 2)

You don't need to fear me "I'm not an enemy!" said Roger Dream.
"As for which clan you belong I got to know by the System through which source is a little secret of mine," said Roger Dream while assuring her with his kind smile.
He knew the Upper Realm has Systems though not sophisticated like his but still they have impressive features that make Lower Realm people crazy.
After hearing him mention the Systems, she asked "But how? System Functions would get shut down after entering the Lower Realms. If not I would've already contacted my friends from Upper Realms to get me out of here."
"That's my secret. I hope you won't reveal it to anybody that I have a System, even to your children," he said mysteriously.
She nodded and asked, "You said your little secret Is it that you possess an AI for your System?"
"Isn't that Obvious? Doesn't everybody gets an AI?" he asked.
"Giggles. No. Looks like you don't about everything. Not everyone would get an AI. There are uncountable Living Beings in the Upper Realm. If the Mother Saint does provide it to everybody, then even a 100,000 Saints like her would not be enough." she said and was getting amused seeing his expression. How could she not know that he's trying to act cool and mysterious in front of her by making her think that he knows all about her, after seeing his expression?
While she was trying hard to control her laughter after seeing his expression; he was having a mental war with his AI's.
"Kanna. Mia. Come out now. Because of your lies, my Mysterious Image has been spoiled. Do you know how I planned in my mind to act cool and also found a perfect spot to it too? Because I read something on Earth that being Mysterious is what girls love. Now I'm looking a Fuc*** clown in front of her. Why did you guys say that everybody gets assigned to a System AI in the whole **** Upper Realm?" he asked them.
He could see both of them trying to avert their eyes while trying hard to control something. After working so hard Mia and Kanna finally released the thing that they are trying hard to control after seeing his angry face "Puchi... Hahaaaa.....O' my god. O' my god. I can't control. I think I'm going to die. Roger, please go somewhere else. Looking at your face is gonna kill me by laughing."

Roger Dream was turning red in anger. Because of them lying his first act of acting cool and mysterious like those movie heroes, went as utter less defeat. And here they are trying hard to control their laugh at him. If they were a boy instead of a girl, he would've spanked their asses till red.
Mia after feeling a little sorry for Roger Dream she said "Roger. We are sorry. We just don't want to say this because we thought you might get complacent over this. That's why we lied. After knowing you are not like that, we thought of saying that, but we forgot. Please don't get mad."
After hearing her explanation, his anger subsidized a little and looked at Fengxian who smiling at him he asked "So, How did you find out that I got an AI. Isn't that supposed to be rare? And what's the connection between me knowing your secret to you know that I got an AI?"
"Looks like you got some naughty AI. She doesn't say everything to you. It's simply because they share their Mother Saint's knowledge and Mother Saint's knows about all the happenings and Clans around the Realm, and they inherit the knowledge only till the date they got assigned. The AI's could easily identify us according to our bloodline. It's not hard for me to find out your secret, it should be weird If I didn't find out after you told me about the System." she said.
Roger Dream nodded with an expression of accepting defeat.
He then looked at her and asked: "Aren't you going to ask me about my origins?"
"Why? Isn't that supposed to be a secret? Mr. Mysterious" she said while giggling.
Looking at her making fun of him he said with a helpless expression "Please. I accept defeat. And don’t tell that to your daughter/ I don't want to look pathetic around a girl of my age."
Suddenly he heard a voice hiding at the back of a tree "Don't worry. I'll never look at you that way ever. You're just cute. And my prince charming who saved me. And always be the only hero in my heart" Lingxin said while giggling.
While she knew the words she said might be considered a joke in his ears but they are true to her heart as she got a strange satisfaction after telling him this.

Roger Dream then got his Heartbroken after knowing his wish to execute Plan B also failed before even trying.
Accepting total defeat "So for what matter did you came to talk to me? He asked in a monotone.
No taking his way of talking as rude but rather cute Fengxin replied: "I just wanted to talk to you about my origins because I thought you also belonged to the Upper Realms."
Roger Dream just nodded, but he didn't reply as she understood his intentions never asked further about his origins.
Roger Dream then asked, "Can I ask why you are in the Lower Realms?"
Fengxin got a little severe and told him "As you know that we are from White Feather's clan which was considered a mid-tier clan even in the God Realm. But one day which was supposed to be a happy day at our family resulted in a disaster. At that time four years ago, my Sister in Law was pregnant with little Bo'er and ready for delivery. When little Bo'er was born, he was found to be born with crippled Soul which was a rare case even in the Upper Realm. The Elders told that the baby would die within a week, but he could be saved only by Divine Beast's Soul. Divine Beasts are rare entities and even a Mid-Tier family cannot obtain them easily."
"But we got the news that an Elder from the Golden Crow Clan has a Divine Beast's Soul of a Panda. We went to him and asked for him to sell the Divine Beast's Soul for any price. But he refused even after my brother begged at him for a whole day kneeling outside his stay. Even though we searched everywhere, we couldn't find another. The main problem was the time limit of one week, not its rarity."
"On the 7th day. When my Sister in law gave up hope. My brother brought the Divine Beasts Soul of the Panda. He came rather injured, when we asked him, he said he found it in ruin. But in the urgency, we didn't ask for further details. And also we were successful in saving Little Bo's life."
"Next day the Patriarch of the Golden Crow Clan came asking for justice for killing their clan Elder. At first, we were confused, but after that, we knew what happened."
"The Golden Crow Clan Patriarch then directly attacked my brother. Even after my Father (Patriarch) begged, he didn't budge. Without another way, my father, brother, and my sister jointly attacked him. But he was too powerful. With his powerful strike, he reduced the 3 of them into a puddle of blood with little life hanging on them."
"After that, the Great Elder from our clan came to negotiate, but he even wanted to extract the Divine Beast's Soul from Little Bo's Body as it was the reason for their Elder's death. Even though our Clan's Great Elder was powerful enough to confront him but he won't do such a thing by putting the whole clan in danger against a Top-Tier Clan."
"Great Elder didn't have any way to stop him. So he agreed to his request for the price of saving the clan. But I stopped them from doing that. At the time I was the Clan's Top genius and held their dreams of becoming a Top-Tier Clan. So the Great Elder did everything to change my mind. But how can I do that to my brother's family? So I resisted. The Great Elder then sealed my cultivation and crippled Lingxin's Dantian and used Banishing Talisman on the three of us. Supposed he didn't have that much a cruel heart to cripple a new-born so little Bo'er escaped. Even though it was a one-way hell for us, it still might not have appeased for the Golden Crow Patriarch. Still has to show some face for our Great Patriarch." she sighed as she finished her story.

So What If I'm Trash? Who Needs Cultivation?!
Qing Shan Long. They say he isn't human. An escaped experiment from some government facility, a reincarnation of a saint, a freakish superhuman. Whatever he was one thing was clear. Be it Music, Martial Arts, Science, whatever he does he excels. He was a whimsical man. A great man. A man who craving for knowledge and excitement knows no bounds, whose collection of books and personal library would even make Alexander the Great green with envy. He donated to all manners of charities and funded many projects for helping the poor and disabled. A self made man who single handedly founded one of the largest corporations in the world, Wen Qu Technologies, whose influences reach from vast fields of expertise. From objects of war such as the newest aircrafts, droids, and body armor; to life saving medicine and vaccines; to even the mundane such as video games and the fast food industry. A legendary example of determination and hard work. He was in his car being driven to a business meeting to disclose a deal that would help ensure the country could have access to clean energy and help reduce the pollution that has been plaguing his homeland for the past millenia when he was assassinated and woke up in a strange new world. How will Qing Shan deal with his new environment where the strong suppresses the weak? From the top of the world he suddenly finds himself free falling to rock bottom. Unable to cultivate, a weak body, and all but disowned by his family. (For those who read comics and watch cartoons, imagine him as being Tony Stark, Richard Reeds, Jimmy Neutron, etc level of 'Genius'. ) My own spin on some familar tropes. Another reincarnation into another world story. The MC will take over the body of someone with a trash body that can't cultivate and will be hated and neglected by his family. Pretty typical so far right? Except there won't be some amazing miracle to heal our MC, there isn't some magical grandpa to teach him some OP thing which only his trash body can use, there isn't a hidden op bloodline, and he is not from a super amazing assassin clan or genius doctor. He isn't the chosen one, he's just a guy trying his best to make something with a crap situation. First attempt at a wuxia type story! I like playing with common tropes, maybe adding a twist, to playing it straight as a classic. I have absolutely no idea where this is going to take me but please do give your input and I'll do my best so that everyone has a say in where our journey will go. I'll admit the only knowledge I have of chinese history and ancient society is from reading light novels translated to english and some old dramas, so if I make some social passe just take it as because this is another world, not exactly an AU where magic and stuff actually exist. I'm also not actually Chinese and will basically using google to help me with names and other such, if I make a mistake please let me know! (Even if you don't like the story or couldn't bare to get past chapter 1 please leave a comment so I can find out where to improve, thank you!)
