Scarlet Dragon Mountain Range, near the Cyan Forest

A blinding light suddenly shone near the waterfall between the mountains.

After a few minutes the light slowly dimmed and a young man can be seen standing in the place where the light previously shone.

He has a long hair that protruded outward from the back of his head. The top half of his hair is goldish-white while the bottom half of his hair was black.

Wearing a red cloak over a black kimono and zōri, along with a three-eyed, three-tailed wolf hanging around his shoulders like a shawl. Black ink-like markings could be seen around his eyes and in his hair.

Together with his striking looks, his entire body emits elegance and mysteriousness.

The moment Hannya opened his eyes he saw the area on the wall of the mountain that was about two to three hundred meters, he can see a gigantic waterfall rushes down, and crashes into the pool below, causing mist to rise into the air. The enormous deafening sound was like the rumbling of thunder, which traveled far and wide.

Unlike before, his eyes now shone with a bit of liveliness. After he saw his family was reincarnated in another world, the huge burden in his heart was lifted up. Now it's time for him to fulfill his end of bargain.

He carefully observed the surroundings. According to memory that mysterious guy imprinted in his mind, this place is considered as the world of cultivator. He couldn't believe that such world which was only describe in the novel could be real. Not only that, it seems like it's not just any other world of cultivation, it was a world which is familiar to him; The cultivation world of "Against the God" a controversial novel in his past life.

"So this is the world of Cultivators, this place is totally different from Earth." Hannya admired the beauty of this world while breathing fresh air.

Unlike Earth who is suffering from pollution caused by Humans, this place is the exact opposite. The air is so fresh while the water is so clear, there's no signs of pollution at all.

After enjoying himself for awhile, Hannya sat on a gigantic stone. It's now time for him to start working on how to make a foothold in this world.

Every Cultivation world that he read always had the same rule.

"The Strongest is hailed while the weak is Discarded."

This thought is something that Hannya doesn't like, for him weak people has their own uses. If a great leader puts them on the correct position, they can be a great help to make a clan prosper even in this world of cultivation.

He recalled the "ATG novel" and the main character named "Yun Che", from what he remembered the story starts when Yun Che gets reincarnated.

"System, tell me the current location and timeline when Yun Che will be reincarnated." Without delay he immediately made his first move, which is to gather information to confirm his future plans.

It would be stupid to ignore the convenient gift by that mysterious entity, so he will use it to the fullest.

Ding! current location Scarlet mountain range

Timeline: 11 months before Yun che's reincarnation

"Hmmm, so I still have a lot of time to prepare."

Touching his chin, he started forming a plan.

He knew the entire story from the novel, the information that he have about this world is not only limited to the novel, having knowledge about the "variables" in this world gives him a huge advantage.

The most important matter for now is to know more about the system, cause it will aid him in his plans.

"System, give me some information about your general functions."

[System has 3 main functions. The first one being the Status, it allows the host to get information about your strength and body condition; you can also view your opponents status if they're on the same realm as you.]

[The second function is the Store function. This function allows you to purchase weapons, armor, skills and summons.]

[The 3rd function is Quest, it assigns you a task to earn rewards and points. Rewards may vary depending on the difficulty]

"So what do I use to purchase item from the store?"

[Host needs to use Store Points to make a purchase]

...

After asking a few questions, he learned that SP points can be earned by completing quests or hunting beasts which a bit sad since killing humans doesn't give him SP at all unless it was for a quest.

After understanding the systems main function he recalled some information about this world.

This is where that mysterious person's imprint came into handy, as it allowed him to review the informations about this world like a book.

"Cultivation" in this world of "ATG" involves the pursuit of strength by following the 'Profound Way'. The 'Profound Way' of the world gifts each mortal innate profound veins which allows them to cultivate profound strength.

It has 6 components; Realm, Profound Veins, Profound Entrances, Blood Essences, Profound Arts and Skills.

He is also aware that since he chose Nurarihyon's body as a vessel, he is a categorized as a full demon in this world which means, Profound Veins doesn't exist in his body, but a demon core instead.

For Profound Arts, he doesn't need such thing as the concept of his power is related to "fear" which is similar to Profound Arts that both humans and demons in this world cultivates.

For skills, he can purchase those from the system as long as he has enough SP.

The only thing that he needs to work hard for is cultivation in reaching the higher realm as the power of his skills would depend on it.

After he settled the informations that he had, he then asked the system about the starting points he have available as well as the inventory.

It seems like that person already prepared something for him.

[Host aquired attack skill Ougi Meikyō Shisui, "Sakura"( "Secret Technique: Soul Mirror, Deadly Water - Cherry Blossoms"), movement skill Kyōka Suigetsu ("Mirror Flower, Water Moon") and 1 summoning ticket]

[Starting SP: 10,000]

Hannya pondered for while scanning the details of the skills that he got.

Kyōka Suigetsu is a technique that covers the host with fear greatly disrupting enemies perception.

Ougi Meikyō Shisui, "Sakura" ( "Secret Technique: Soul Mirror, Deadly Water - Cherry Blossoms") is a technique which utilizes superior yōkai sake poured into a large sakazuki cup. By blowing across the liquid, blue flames are produced which burn an opponent. These flames seem to spread according to his will, and can engulf multiple victims at once; almost instantly. So long as the water continues to ripple, the flames will continue until the opponent is reduced to ash.

"Heh, it seems like I'll be able to enjoy this world after all."

Hannya was really fascinated by the idea, things like system appeared in novels so he knows some of the functions.

"Status"

A transparent blue screen appeared in front of him.

[Name: Hannya]

[Age: 18]

[Race: Nūrihyon]

[Skills: Kyōka Suigetsu , Ougi Meikyō Shisui]

[Summons: None]

When Hannya checked his status he suddenly realize that he still haven't used his summoning ticket.

"System, use the summoning ticket."

[Ding! Summoning ticket has been used please select a summon]

After the notification sounded, three names appeared in front of Hannya.

[Setsura] [Aotabo] [Hihi]
