Chapter 1:

As I was being pulled out of this warm and cozy place, I remembered that I was being reborn into a different world. So I figured out that this is my mother's womb. Thinking about how I'll finally have a family, I was filled with boundless joy. I then thought that I had to cry when I get pulled out so my parents think there is nothing wrong with me and I'm an ordinary baby.

After a few more minutes off being pulled, I entered into the world. Bright light invaded into my eyes hurting it, making me close my eyes. I then started to cry to fool them.

I then hear an elderly voice. " You have a healthy baby Mr. & Mrs. Bluethrone." I'm guessing that is the name of my parents. I hear another voice which sounds like a male which I'm guessing is my father " Lisa look at our son he's so cute." I then am passed to my father, he gasps and exclaims " Look, I can't believe it, he has the mark for the purest bloodline on his palm, and the back of the palm as well as his eyes. They exactly like it was said in the legends, purple star outlines on the palm and its back, and purple star outlines in his eyes and his pupils are stars that are purple!" (Author: This what the star look like, http://shazamimages.com/wp-content/uploads/symbiostock_rf_content/1924-jewish-star-of-david-purple-version.jpg . As for the pupil, imagine it colored in).

I then hear a tired but gentle voice which soothes me " Chris, I wouldn't care if he was like us and had not inherited the bloodline. He is our baby and that is all that matters." I then hear my dad, Chris, " That is true, but having this means he has more talent and a better future. Even though I hate the clan, I think we should show them our sons mark so he can have more help in training." My mother Lisa answers " That will be up to his choice, now hand him to me" He replies "Ok, what is going to be his name?" I am then handed to my mother. She says " Astin, a name for a strong trustworthy leader and as bright as a star. Our son will be name Astin Bluethrone."

So that was going to be my new name. As bright as a star and a strong trustworthy leader, not bad, my mother as good naming sense. My father thinks for a while and then says " That's a great name, as always my wife's the best." My mother blushes. As I'm still crying my mother rocks me around to sooth me and put me to sleep. I fall asleep since my baby body has its natural instincts.

When I woke up, I felt uncomfortable. At first I thought it was a cradle, but it wasn't. I tried to find out what was the problem but I was a newborn and can't move much. I felt a connection to something, but I just couldn't find out what it was. It was like an extra leg or arm. I tried moving it and I felt something cold moving. I moved into my hand, and tried touching it with my feeble hands. It felt like a reptilian tail, when I touched it I felt a sensation. I then recalled I was a dragon demi-human, a Dragunir.

My mother and father are what people call ground Dragunir while I'm a sky Dragunir the more powerful one. My mother was brunette, with pink eyes and had porcelian-clay skin like me and was fairly beautiful. My father had green hair and hazel brown eyes with a tan skin tone, he was pretty handsome. My mother was a earth ground Dragunir while my father was a fire ground Dragunir. They had 2 horns on the side of their head. My mother;s being brown while my father's red.

Since I had a tail I thought I might have wings. So I used my tail until I got used to it, and can move it with some skill, then pushed my tail against the wood of the cradle to turn to my side. As I was turning, I saw myself in the mirror, I had a porcelain skin tone, with black hair and golden eyes. I had the marks my father pointed out before. I then noticed small scaly black wings, which proved I was right, my tail and two small horns above my forehead. If I say so myself, I looked cute and not like a demon.

After ascertaining about myself, I turned flipped myself over to test my wings out. I tried moving muscles around my back. It was hard, but after a few hours I could move my wings a little. I couldn't fly since they were small and few but I move it still.

I felt hungry so I started crying to call my mother here. I heard some footsteps, and my mother opened the wooden door. She looked at me and asked " Is my little baby hungry?" in a joking tone thinking I didn't understand. To prove her wrong I stopped crying and nodded my head. She then gasped and then happily said " My baby boy understands, he's a genius!" She then picked me up, pulled her shirt down a little to reveal one breast and put me near it. I was prepared for this, but didn't think this would happen, I hesitated for a moment before sucking on it. After drinking milk I felt full and sleepy. My mother noticed this and put me in the cradle singing a lullaby. I fell asleep.

After I woke up again, I looked around my house, It was in bad shape and looked like a poor persons house. I thought maybe this a test the God of the Bible set for me to pass to make sure he did the right thing. Since I was poor in my last life, I was already used to this so I didn't mind.

I then remembered there was magic and qi in this world. I wanted to be strong in this world, so that I can protect myself and others; because of that reason I will train now to get a head start. I remembered in light novels in my old world, a protagonist would meditate to absorb energy. I then tried meditating.

At first I couldn't get the hand of it, I listened to only my heartbeat and my breathing. I breathed in and out. After a hour, I noticed a slight disturbance in the air. I focused on it and saw colorful lights. It was all kinds of colors like green, blue, red, brown, yellow, white, black etc. I'm guessing these are the elements, green for wind, blue for water, red for fire and brown for earth, etc. I tried drawing them into me, at first they moved at extremely slow speeds, but after some time they started speeding up. After 2 hours, I stopped because I wanted to try qi, before trying out qi I wanted to check what effects the elements had on me.

My body strengthen when I was absorbing the elements in the air. I could my body around more. I check to see if I can cast magic. I tried imagining a flame in my hand. At first nothing happened but after trying a few more times a tiny flame appeared above the palm of my hand. I tried this for other elements. The elements I found I had affinity for were fire, water, wind, earth, lightning, light, darkness, Ice, wood, sound and gravity. I felt drained from using all my mana so I rested a little before moving on to qi.

I thought back to Wuxia/Xianxia novels where the people absorb qi energy into their dantain. I knew it was located around below the naval, near the heart and between the eyebrows. I knew the naval comes first so I focused there. After a while, since I was experienced at doing this since I did the same thing for magic, I could do it faster; I somehow moved my consciousness there. I then enter a place similar to the void. I looked around but saw only black nothingness. I wanted to absorb qi so I forgot about where I am, and tried to feel qi. I noticed a transparent energy in air outside my body. I absorbed it at a speed faster than I did magic at first since I already did it. It eventually speeded up since I got used to it. After a few hours I tested out the effects of qi. My body strengthened when absorbing qi, I can enchant my body with the qi I have in my body and I figured out there is elemental qi. I just use my elements with qi. I can only make the qi gain properties of the element like hot qi or cold qi. After testing out a few more things I used up all my qi and felt mentally and physically tired so I went sleep.

This became my routine for the next 6 months, Wake up, cry for food, sleep, take a bath with parents, listen to their stories, then I would train rest of the day. Half magic, half qi. After 6 months of training something special happened.
