The morning air carried the gentle scent of damp earth and blooming flowers as Jasper Stoneheart walked down the familiar garden path. A wooden watering can rested comfortably in his hand, and he tipped it forward with steady care, listening to the soft splash of water soaking into the rich soil.To anyone watching, he looked like an ordinary young man enjoying a peaceful morning. Well… almost.A thick strip of black silk covered his eyes, tied firmly around his head. Faint glowing patterns lay hidden beneath the folds of the fabric. "Six years…" Jasper muttered, his voice barely louder than the rustling leaves. "It has already been six years since I transmigrated."He paused for a moment and rested the watering can against his leg. In his previous life, he had lived under the blinding lights of fame as a celebrity. He remembered the roaring applause, the flashing cameras, and the endless fake smiles. He also remembered the cruel scandal that destroyed everything.It wasn't even his

Jasper stood still in the center of the training arena, his legs trembling beneath him while his head throbbed as the foreign memories continued to merge with his own. The two robed men still gripped his arms, holding him upright so he would not collapse.“Young Master, are you alright?” the older man asked, his voice thick with worry.Jasper barely heard him. The words sounded distant, as if echoing from the far end of a long tunnel, and his mind was a mess.Who am I now?The answer came quickly through the settling memories. He was Jasper Stonehart, third son of the Stonehart Family, a mid-tier noble house in the Australis Kingdom on the Star Sky Continent. The Stonehart Family was neither the strongest nor the weakest in the kingdom; their true value lay in their connections to friends in high places, alliances that kept them relevant despite their modest power.The original owner of this body had grown up surrounded by luxury—servants, private tutors, fine clothes, and the best foo

Jasper had a saying: the higher you climb, the harder you fall. Every high has a low, and he did not need to look far for proof—his own life was the example. He had everything and stood at the peak of his fame; now he had nothing. Whenever luck was on Jasper’s side, it always disappeared.He looked at the third ability of the blindfold. Even with the first two abilities, he would go blind, and Jasper knew that, but it was worth the power. In the cultivation world he'd read about, the weak were always trampled by the strong, and that was true in every world. Jasper was not dumb enough to think otherwise. Everyone had goals and ambitions, no matter how noble they made them look. Even main characters who fought for a righteous cause were the same—if you had power, you fought your way to achieve what you wanted. The only difference was that victors told the tale.Nothing was free. But still, his luck could not be that bad.He read the third ability.Item Ability 3: Full Authority (Consumab

Jasper read the runes on the Mind Incense Runes carefully before using them, and as he did, something he remembered from earlier made him pause. The system had said he awakened his mind sea, so he opened his dashboard to check his status again.The Blindless Sovereign System Host: Jasper StonehartRank: Mortal PhaseRealm: NoneMind Sea Realm: None Techniques: NoneWeird. The system said it awakened his mind sea, but the dashboard showed none. Jasper stared at the screen for a while before letting out a sigh, because it would have been better if he could see his mind sea the way the story described it.He tapped the mind sea icon on the screen. Everything around him changed. He found himself standing in a vast and empty void of nothingness, and below him stretched a black ocean of water. Jasper was stunned by what he was seeing and realized immediately what it was. He was at the outer boundary of his body, and below him was his mind sea—but the sea was black and devoid of any light.

Jasper was lost in the hot bath, staring at the screen in front of him for a long while before letting out a sigh. He thought about the novel he was now inside—a martial world where cultivation could only get you so far, and without high-level skills, you would be dead before you even moved up.Jasper needed advanced skills right now to have any ability to fight in this world, and not only that, his family was trying to sell him away to the Storm Peak Sect. Knowing what would become of the city, Jasper had to start planning his escape.He knew he was not some main character, and the world of martial arts was simple: the weak got killed. Leaving home at just the first realm was suicide, so if Jasper wanted to live the life he ever wanted, he had to start planning now.After taking his bath, Jasper felt refreshed. He had help from a maid to put on his clothes, which was strange to him, but he chose a black robe with hand guards and pulled his hair up into a neat tie. He looked more like
