“Ladies and gentlemen, we have begun our descent into Tuntadel City Airport. Please ensure your seatbelts are securely fastened and your tray tables are in their upright positions..." Gasp! Baron Colgate shot forward in his seat, his mouth wide open as he sucked in a huge, desperate breath of air. His heart was hammering against his ribs like a trapped bird. Cold sweat was pouring down his neck, making his cheap, thin t-shirt stick uncomfortably to his skin. His hands flew straight to his chest, his fingers scrambling around his shirt, searching for the giant, smoking hole where the purple lightning had just blasted through him. There was no hole. There was no lightning. There was no blood. Instead, all he could hear was the low, steady hum of a plane engine. Around him, regular people were chatting quietly, adjusting their bags, and looking out the windows. Baron froze, his eyes wide and completely lost. He looked around the cabin, his brain spinning in circles. It felt like

Baron stood over him, his hands loosely by his sides, that same calm, terrifying smile still playing on his lips. He hadn't even broken a sweat. He was acting with a level of cold, violent precision that his former teenage self could never have dreamed of. The entire crowd outside the terminal went dead silent. Dozens of travelers, airport security guards, and taxi drivers stopped dead in their tracks, staring at the scene with wide, amazed eyes. Nobody could believe what they had just witnessed. A skinny, ordinary-looking kid had just dropped a literal giant with a single, effortless punch. They looked at Baron like he was some kind of fearless martial arts master. The giant thug looked up at Baron, his eyes wide with pure shock and fear. Realizing he had just been completely disgraced and humiliated by a kid a fraction of his size, he dragged himself up, wheezing in enormous pain and blood, and scuttled away into the crowd like a beaten dog. Baron didn't care about chasing a

Behind him, the arrivals terminal was in absolute chaos. He could hear Kate’s screeching voice cutting through the noise of the sliding glass doors, shouting threats and demanding that he turn around. “You get back here, you silly village boy. You know no place over here, listen to me at once.” She shouted at him. Margret remained silent, but her calm expression cracked for the first time. Baron didn’t even turn his head. He didn’t care. He walked with quick, heavy steps toward the open curb. In his past life, he had stood in that exact spot for forty-five minutes, shivering in the breeze, waiting for them to finish their luxury coffee before they finally dragged him to their sports car. He had been so terrified of getting lost in this massive city. He hadn't known the streets, the buses, or the rules. But this wasn't his past life. This was a life he had already lived, memorized, and conquered. He knew every single corner of Tuntadel City like the back of his hand. He

The circle of students around the grand stone gates of Tuntadel City University remained frozen. Nobody moved. Nobody spoke. The loud, mocking laughter of Leo Vance echoed off the hard stone pillars as he watched the wet mud soak into the freshman’s registration papers."Look at him cry!" Leo laughed, gesturing to his two stocky lackeys. "Hey, write this down. If you're poor, don't come to Tuntadel. Go work on a farm!"The weak freshman on the ground, Luke, clutched his bruised knees, his face bright red as he tried to grab his ruined documents from the dirty puddle.Suddenly, the heavy, suffocating silence of the crowd was broken by the sound of deliberate footsteps. Thud. Thud. Thud.Baron Crown slid right through the tightly packed circle of onlookers. He didn't push anyone; the crowd simply parted instinctively, driven by a strange, cold pressure radiating from his small body. He stepped directly into the open center of the circle, his faded blue backpack hanging loosely off hi

Baron sprinted into the dark woods, his bare feet moving silently over the pine needles and rough twigs. He didn't need a flashlight. His advanced sensory awareness guided him perfectly through the pitch-black forest, following a route he had memorized from historical files in his past life.After ten minutes of walking deeper into the thick brush, the trees suddenly cleared out, revealing a small, rocky clearing. At the center of the clearing, a crystal-clear mountain stream bubbled over smooth stones, the water glowing faintly under the pale light of the crescent moon.Baron stepped into the center of the clearing and took a deep breath.Right here, his heart leaped with a quiet, intense thrill. ‘The natural mountain veins converge right under these stones. It’s exactly midnight.,As the digital clock on his phone struck 12:00 AM, the air in the clearing suddenly changed. A faint, completely invisible mist of natural energy—true cosmic Qi—began to rise from the stream and the surro
