Chapter 2 - CHAPTER 1 ANOTHER LIFE

In the kitchen.

Cloyd was cooking dinner for his family.

The young girl that leaps at him earlier was sitting at the table humming a tune while busy with her phone.

"We're home." Suddenly, a man's voice appears at the entrance, hearing this, Cloyd smiled.

This was his stepfather, Frank, their relationship is actually quite close as most of the time, his stepfather would ask him for advice about variety of stuff.

"What's for dinner?" Asks the man as he rubs his stomach.

A woman with a young appearance chuckles seeing the man's action as she sits next to him.

This woman is Mei, Cloyd's mother, albeit her young look that seems to resemble a young woman in her twenties, she is actually thirty seven years old.

"Food!" Another person comes down from upstair with saliva dripping from her mouth.

She is Cloyd's second stepsister, the one at the same age as him.

"Good evening Aria, please put on some proper clothes as we will have dinner when Scarlet comes home."

Aria is topless, if it weren't for her long hair, everyone would see her nipples.

Her father always have a headache from trying to fix this habit of hers.

"I'm home." Suddenly, a young woman's voice appears.

She is Scarlet, she had her name because of her scarlet hair.

She frowns seeing Aria's appearance and instantly started scolding her even though she just arrived home.

"What's with your appearance!? How many times do I have to tell you to wear proper clothes in the house!"

Seeing this, everyone only smiles as this type of scene is quite common in this household.

"Scarlet, why don't you change with Aria, we're going to have dinner." Mei suggested.

Scarlet grabs her sister as she pulls her upstair.

No matter how many times he experience it, Cloyd still adores the warm feeling of a family.

In his previous life, he was an orphan and had to survive by becoming a gangster.

He is different from all of his group as he only fights other gangster to protect their territory.

This did not absolve him from any crime.

It was his selfish attempt to placate the guilt that he always experience.

He transitioned from a gangster to a fighter, winning and losing fights in an underground arena.

He spent the remainder of his life there as an amusement for the rich and powerful, dying at the age of fifty, being killed by a much younger fighter.

He doesn't know much and spent the majority of his life fighting and the rest were reading fantasy novels, trying to escape the hell that he was in.

He treasures education very much not because he is a genius nor a nerd but he considers himself a fool.

"By the way, Cloyd, next month will be your birthday, it will be eighteenth birthday, what do you want for your gift?"

His stepfather suddenly asks.

'Gift, I wonder what should I ask?' He thought.

This world is both similar and different from his former world.

It was much more advanced but it seems to hold deep secrets, something that relates to the blinding sun and moon in the sky.

"I wish-"

Suddenly, everything turns black as a voice appears in everyone's head.

"This world is now being devoured, every intelligent being shall be transported to the Lord Realm."

The next thing Cloyd sees was a vast expanse of land, he was shocked.

'What just happened?'

He is speechless, he already transmigrated and now, once again, he was transported into another world.

"Oh no! Where are we!?" Suddenly, from near him, a familiar voice appears.

He quickly turns his head and sees Scarlet in coarse clothes looking at her surroundings with panic in her face.

Someone suddenly hugs him, he looks at her and it was Lucy, his youngest stepsister.

"Everyone! I don't know what just happened but first we need to check if everyone is here."

He decided to take charge and ordered.

Scarlet turns around to find the other people in their family but only saw Aria besides her and no one else.

Cloyd also realized this and his expression instantly turns grim.

"Mom! Father Frank!" He shouts but no one replied.

The situation instantly made the girls pale.

"Greetings everyone, this is the spirit or the Blue World, you are now my last hope of survival."

Suddenly, a voice appears in everyone's head.

"All of you are now transported to the Lord Realm, a place that is teeming with wonders and otherworlders."

Cloyd's eyes sharpen, he can sense that this so-called voice seems o be just rehearsing a script.

"As one of the worlds that gained consciousness, I was given a chance to survive, if one of you manage to become a divine being, I shall not be erased."

This time, the voice seems to carry a certain tone.

Cloyd know this too well.

Desperation.

"You are grouped together with your close ones, the maximum number is five."

'Five? Then why the hell there are only four of us!?'

He screams internally.

"Each of you have the status of a Lord and awakens a trait that all starts at Rank F."

"You may view your status by chanting the word "Status" in your heart."

"Your territory will be under Novice Protection Period for ten days, develop well my champions."

As the voice disappears, another voice pops up but this one feel mechanically.

[Regional Chat is now opened]

[Lords: 140000/140000]

"Oh my god! What the hell just happened!?"

"Where the hell are we!?"

"Hahaha! I will rule this world!"

Seeing the chat screen in front of them, the family of four looks at each other.

"Check your trait, we need to know what are our specialties."

He advised.

Status.

Level: 1

Tier: 0

Rank: normal

Trait: Tame (Able to tame wild beast to become pets) (Rank: F)

Evolution (Able to make living beings undergo evolution to raise their rank) (Rank: ???)

His eyes widened, he knew that each one of them awakens a trait but why does he have two.

Suddenly, he realized why there are only four of them because the Blue World's spirit mistaken him for being two person.

'Considering that there are billions of humans in our world, it is quite normal to not put any special attention to anyone.'

He thought.

'Still why do I have two traits-'

He did not finish his train of thoughts as he quickly realizes why he was different.

Because he was a transmigrator, his soul is unique, making his existence different from the rest.

Calming himself, he turns to his stepsisters and asks. "What are your traits, mine is Tame, I am able to tame wild beasts and turn them into pets."

"Mine is Martial Art Talent, I am able to learn combat type skills much easier." Scarlet shared hers.

"Uhm, Technology Expert, I am able to learn to craft much easier."

Aria scratches her head and shares.

"Mine is Farm, can help plants grow."

Lucy shares while still hugging Cloyd.

"It seems that in this world, we are considered as lords that means that this small plot of land is our territory."

He tells his conjecture as he lifts Lucy up and went to the hut in the center.

[Name: Lord's Hut

Description: The most important structure of the territory. Upgrade to unlock other features.

Feature (Summon) - Summon beings from worlds perished in the Lord Realm.]

He nods his head as he thought. 'As expected.'

"It seems that the hut can only host two people inside, I volunteer to sleep outside."

He immediately said.

"Then, I will sleep outside too, Aria and Lucy, the two of you should sleep inside." Scarlet ordered.

"Aria, take care of Lucy, Scarlet and I are going to check the vicinity to gather more information of where we are."

Cloyd and Scarlet went to opposite directions, the two are the only ones that has the willpower to move right now.

ROAR!

GROWL!

Outside, a couple of beasts that looks like hounds are attacking some sort of invisible barrier.

"So this is what protecting from the forces of this world."

He mutters to himself as looks at the beasts in front of him, he wishes to use Tame on them but when he tried, he was unable to.

(Evolution activated)

He was startled, he then see the description of the beast in front of them.

Name: Wild Hounds

Tier: 0

Rank: Normal

Description: Common beasts, know for their pack trait, they are a menace to tier zero beings.

'Oh? My second skill make it possible for me to check the descriptions, what an amazing skill.' He thought.

"I wonder, use evolution on me!" He suddenly said out loud, just trying his luck.
