In a old dilapidated wooden shed, a middle aged beautiful yet tired woman was currently lying on a wooden bed without a quilt much less anything comfortable, she seemed abnormally flushed from a fever.
Next to her was a thin young boy of around eight years with black hair and eyes with a cute yet malnourished face wearing worn clothes currently clutching a warm cloth that seemed worn as well as he put the cloth over the woman's forehead and the woman smiled gently at the boy.
"Yuhao, don't worry...Mama's fine....you should sleep....You haven't slept at all...." The woman, Huo Yun'er, said to Yuhao who trembled but still sat there.
After some time, the woman fell asleep so Yuhao quietly exited the shed and went to a small creek of sorts as he sat alone in the quiet area.
"Why?! Why do they target Mom?! What did she ever do?!" Yuhao asked as he grabbed a patch of grass and gripped it tightly, he knew it was incompetent anger but he was only eight and didn't know what else he could do, his talent was terrible and his Spirit Power Level was still only 4 and his Innate Spirit Power was only 1.
As the boy's anger and resentment at the Duchess and the White Tiger Duke's Mansion deepened, he felt a sudden pain as if something was invading his body.
As his vision blurred, he seemed to appear in a white room of sorts, a random humanoid white form standing, no, floating above him.
"Kid! I was someone who died and was thrown into your body, I could obviously take over your body but.... I'm not a bastard that I even have to take over your body..." It said in a masculine voice.
"You don't need to know who I am, I only want to ask you one thing...Do you want power? Sorry, let me rephrase that, Do you want the ability to gain Power? Even if it means you'll die?" He asked.
"Death? What's death as long I can give my Mom a Happy life?" Yuhao asked, raising his head, recovering from his stunned state and replying subconsciously, his eyes tinged with madness and determination and a slight grin on his face.
The figure seemed stunned before laughing, "Ha! That's good...Then listen up! This is what I'll give you with my Soul and Life!" He said.
"Promise me! Never give up! Never Beg! Never Kneel! Take it!" He said as his body began to glow brighter and brighter and slowly scatter from the edges but Yuhao heard a sound.
[You madman! You're killing us! You bastard!]
"Shut up!" The man said, "TAKE IT! TAKE MY POWER! NEVER LOSE THAT MADNESS! BE CRAZY AND LIVE! GO!" He said as his figure seemed to scatter faster, "GO FORWARD! HUO YUHAO!" He said as his soul scattered and merged into Yuhao's own as pure soul origin and Yuhao was kicked out.
[Was it worth it you madman? Even though you could have lived a second life?]
"Of course it was..." Said the man, "After all....What kind of bastard would I be if I take over the body of a little kid?"

Yuhao woke up panting on the grass, sweating profusely as he looked around, "A dream?" Yuhao muttered to himself, only to feel like something was definitely different as memories seemed to play in his mind like a slideshow.
'Uh... Testing, Testing? My name is....Well, not important. Huo Yuhao, I gave you my power and my talent of sorts... you'll understand eventually as you watch the memories I put in here but....This is basically some knowledge of the Douluo Continent that I know and some warnings, I won't tell you your future but I do have the record of the Sea God's life. I also added ways to make money and knowledge about my World along with entertainment....So, Don't dissapoint me Yuhao! I gave you my life!'
The man's voice rang out in his mind again as there was a screen of sorts that Yuhao could now access, but, he also saw a Talent mentioned?
Yuhao still surprised staggered to his feet as he looked around and saw that if he focused, he could see some sort of writing on the objects he focused on.
[Common Blue Silver Grass| Age: 0]
[Tenacious Vitality(0 Star)] - Tenacious and can't be easily killed.
[Fast Growth(0 Star)] - Matures and ages(Grows) really fast....
[Adaptability(0 Star)] - With a long time over generations, can adapt to almost any environment except extremes
The above he saw on the blue silver grass he focused on, he then looked at himself as he tried to feel his own "writing"?
[Huo Yuhao| Rank 4 Soul Scholar]
[Malnourished(Gray)]
[Acquired Deficiency(Gray)] - Long term harm to body caused detoriation in Talent and physique.
[Iron Will(3 Star)] - Near unbreakable will, strong enough to face death head on.
[Innate Level One(0 Star)] - Terrible Talent, barely has Level One Innate Spirit Level.
[Martial Soul: Spirit Eyes(2 Star)] - A Top Body Martial Soul, comparable to Titled Douluo level...(A/N: How did that give such low Innate Level? Look at the second entry please)
Yuhao froze on seeing his own entries as he saw its evaluation of him.... Talented? Wasted Talent?!
"Don't mess with me...!" He growled as he angrily threw the grass in his hand, "You think I wanted that?! You think I wanted to be bullied?!" He growled as he wished he could tear off that second Entry.
[Delete Entry Acquired Deficiency?]
The question appeared in his mind as he froze at the question...It can be deleted?!
He directly confirmed, he didn't knkw if this would work but remembering the man's words earlier, to keep the Madness....He did it and directly removed both Gray entries.
Yuhao suddenly felt something dissappear from his body as he felt lighter but his body fell forward as he felt immense pain, as if his bones were being crushed, his skin ripped off and dipped in salt, his eyes became bloodshot but he didn't faint, the pain kept him awake...
After how long Yuhao doesn't know, his consciousness recovered from the haze as he looked at himself covered in sweat, lying on the ground, his clothes feeling a bit tight as he got up, his body felt more powerful that ever as he looked around and then went to the creek to see his face in the reflection.
Looking at the cute black haired child who seemed to have soft and tender skin and was taller than average children his age, Yuhao was stunned as he touched his face and then directly looked at the "writing"
