Morning sunlight spread across Veyron Village
Villagers moved through the streets like any normal day
No one knew what had happened during the night
Kael quietly returned to the village
His clothes were dirty
His body ached
But his eyes had changed
They carried a new determination
As he walked past the central square, several villagers noticed him
One man sneered
"Still here, Aetherless boy?"
Another laughed
"Better start looking for servant work"
Kael simply walked past them
Inside his mind, the system displayed his status
Host: Kael Veyron
Realm: Mortal Body Stage 2
Abilities:
• Origin Sense
• Origin Energy
Inventory:
• Storage Ring
• 5 Spirit Stones
Kael touched the ring hidden in his sleeve
"These stones might help me grow stronger"
But he had to be careful
If anyone discovered he possessed such treasures
They would take them
Or worse
Kael looked toward the distant mountains
Somewhere out there existed the world of cultivators
Sect disciples
Powerful warriors
Immortal legends
He clenched his fist
"I'll reach that world"
Not as a servant
Not as a powerless boy
But as someone strong enough to stand among them
