《The Inheritor》Ch 2 Quinn Moore
Advertisement
After a long time, Alistair awoke, but he couldn't see, hear, smell or feel anything. It was a terrifying experience a lot more frightening than the absolute silence in the white room.
Time rolled by and he gained his senses one-by-one, first his sense of touch. Slowly the torturous experience became blissful and ecstatic because he found a truth.
He was reborn into a woman's stomach and blessed with loving parents. Unfortunately, most of life till now was spent in sleep; so far he had only learnt their name – Helena and Andre.
*******
18th June 9604 Locus Era.
Alistair's born. He was keenly observing everything around him.
The windows were tightly shut, and the door was closed. Even then, the room was filled with fresh air.
Before he could recover from the shock, he was lifted. Only then did he look for the people. There were totally three people in the room.
Middle-aged women who looked ordinary in every aspect, he been carried by her.
Behind her a lean, handsome young man in his mid-twenties. The fair face coupled with white hair and deep black eyes gave him a scholarly look, yet his muscles seemed to super explosive.
Then a tired woman lying on the bed beside him attracted his attention. She was just like a beautiful angel; even the ordinary white dress couldn't mask her beauty.
Alistair felt a faint connection or bonding with the man and the women lying in bed. With just one look into their eyes, he knew they were his parents, no soul in this universe could have such pure, unaltered love.
The one carrying him was that mid-aged women, she must be the midwife. She was cold and but her eyes just blank, or there was no life in it.
"Dear bring the baby to me, let me have a good look at him," Helena asked Andre there were eagerness and affection in her voice.
Then his father took him from the women's hand gently and placed him on Helena's lap.
She stared at him for a long time before giving a bright smile.
"Andre look, the kid's just like you; he's surely going to disturb many beauties sleep once he grows."
Helena lovingly said as she was appreciating his beauty, which made him blush.
"Yea, he will surely be well accomplished with many wives and even more girls chasing him, whose son do you think he is?"
Both the couple was bickering completely ignoring the midwife. Though Alistair was eager to learn more about his new life, sudden drowsiness came over him, and he slowly slipped into a deep sleep.

"Hey, Andre what can we name him?"
His mother was lovingly caressing Alistair, as she asked her husband without lifting her head.
"Pass him over, let me take a good look at our son."
His father took Alistair from his mother and teased his little baby a bit.
"Helena, how about Quinn?"
Andre asked Helena, and Helena nodded.
"Hey, sleepyhead you're Quinn Moore. Do you like your name Kiddo?"
Thus Alistair got his new name without his consent. The couple started to get rowdier conveniently, forgetting their kid in a deep sleep.
"Madame, young master is asleep, so please don't disturb him."
The midwife reminded Helena in a monotonous tone. Immediately both his parents stopped talking and then his father went out.

Alistair found himself in the white room again, but this time he was a small baby and not in his soul form.
A few seconds later, 10 years old little kid suddenly appeared. The kid was bald and wearing a long yellow robe which turned him into a cute little Shaolin monk.
The black pupils were too bright and pure, filled with innocence.
[Welcome Host. Congratulations enduring the painful fusion; I'm the treasured soul or Zenith box's soul. My name is Elgar.]
Elgar's voice was like a small kid but was filled with wisdom like hearing an old sage's words.
"Nice to meet you Elgar and how old are you."
Alistair was curious about Elgar's real age as he was too mature to be a kid.
[Host my age is the same as you or I was born with you]
Alistair was really shocked to see a new baby in a ten-year-old kid. Nevertheless, he quickly recovered as he has seen plenty of bizarre stuff recently, which made him numb to such peculiar happenings.
"Elgar what is this Zenith box and where can I find the legacies left by the guardian."
Alistair was curious about the treasure that could devour planets, but he would never forget a promise a he made.
[Host, all the information in the inheritance are from existence far beyond your present level. So only after start cultivation can the legacy be passed over to you, corresponding to your cultivation realm.
The legacies are very diverse, and many of them are conflicting, some are complimentary, while others should be practised singly.
So to help you Zenith box used up enormous spirit energy it stored to form a unique physique for Host that has never appeared in-universe.

There are many types of physiques in the universe like holy angel physique, blood demon physique, extreme yang physique, extreme yin physique, thunder god physique and many more, each has their own forts.
Zenith Box has constructed Primordial Chaotic physique; it mainly helps in concurrent cultivation of different cultivation methods.]
'Well, it seems like I can never lead a normal life, whichever world I'm born into; I'm bound to outshine others and make people jealous.'
He grinning ear to ear; even Alistair himself felt that he was a bit too narcissistic.
Though Alistair boasted a bit, it was true that he was the best in whatever field he ventured in his past life.
If you take a list of top fierce fighters in the world, he would be there in it, and he was one of the wealthiest people his previous life.
[Host Zenith box has spent nearly all its energy transforming your physique. The spirit energy can only be replenished externally. So till then to conserve energy Zenith Box will go into temporary shut-down.]
[Host a unique cultivation manual is needed to maximize benefits from Primordial Chaotic physique; I will create it during the shut-down period.
The manual will be passed on to you after one year, only then will your brain be sufficiently developed enough to withstand the transferal burden. Host Zenith Box will shut-down in ten seconds.]
Immediately Elgar vanished; he was like a thief escaping from the cop. After Elgar vanished the room dimmed a bit and 10 seconds later Alistair was sent back to his body.
Alistair had a nagging feeling of missing some vital detail. Thus he decided to think over his entire conversation with Elgar to find the problem. Alistair's intuition was something he always trusted.
After rigorous contemplation and reflection, Alistair zeroed down to the problem. His situation was a bit too heaven-defying with both inheritance and overpowered physique.
It was like a pie falling from the sky. With this advantage, Quinn could complete the guardian's mission at ease.
Moreover, Elgar departure was suspicious too. Hence, Alistair decided to learn more about his physique from Elgar next time.

July 9609 Locus Era
A boy was playing with 8-sided Rubik's cube. His hands were lighting fast; an ordinary person would only see a pair of blurry hands.
The kid was about 5 years old; he was very fair with light blue pupils. His silky smooth black hair made him irresistible. When he solved the cube, a light shot out from the ball. The kid absent-mindedly looked at the perfect 8-sided Rubik's cube in his hands.
The kid is Alistair, no now, it's Quinn. It's been 5 years since his rebirth. He had a very satisfying and pleasant life so far. The planet he's currently residing is Unigux.
He's in Peace River city of Yarland country which is located in a remote corner of the country. There are no different continents in Unigax it is just a single landmass with many islands around it.
Every person in Unigax is a cultivator, or non-cultivators aren't legal citizens of Unigax. The different realms in cultivation divide the whole population into different classes.
This world is technologically very advanced, there are no computers or smartphones; instead, people use personal implants. A small chip is implanted in the hands which shoots holographic projections.
Each implant will have an A.I. installed in them; it's like your personal assistant they help in innumerable ways.
The types of vehicles are still the same look-a-like cars, bikes, buses with boosters instead of wheels. They are generally operated by androids, or if it is an advanced machine, then it will have an inbuilt A.I.
Actually, the maid in his house was an android; which he confirmed with painful encounter.
Obviously Quinn was curious, thus he tried cut maid's skin using a kitchen knife to check if she really was an android.
But his experiment was a failure, as the knife couldn't even damage her skin much less investigating her internal structure.
Somehow his mother found this, and his bumps turned into red plum after a good beating.
Actually, all manual works are replaced with androids like servants, drivers, chefs, patrol and what not. But the city isn't filled with androids or androids has not replaced humans completely. As the product or service produced by a human is more luxurious and desired.
This is because all cultivators will innately release some Qi from their body just like exhaling. If cultivator, for example, cooks, then the food prepared by the cultivator will contain a portion of qi which is beneficial for other cultivators.
The same applies to all the profession, and there are many different ranks within each profession.
