When I opened my eyes again
How long have you been floating above the world?
My eyes opened wide with a feeling of being sucked into somewhere.
"-Do you understand Runi? What you must do on the day the Lord comes."
Beep-
My ears were ringing.
On top of that there was also the issue of tinnitus.
It was as if dozens of bees were swarming around me.
"You must be calm and calm again. Remember your duty. Be polite when the master asks but always know your duty and bow your head accordingly. And after that do not leave your residence the White Hall-"
Still as I tried to regain consciousness somehow I began to distinguish the sounds around me one by one.
The blurry world gradually became clearer and regained its colors.
A woman with a poisonous look in her eyes was glaring at me (who seemed to be my possessed body).
With a bloody whip in one hand.
Huh?
blood?
It looks like he was going crazy… What did a person do wrong that he deserves to be beaten until blood is dripping from his whip?
I couldn't help but laugh out loud because I had never imagined something like this.
Contrary to concerns about failure the Genshin Jeonryun Gyeop seemed to have been a success.
But it seemed that this new life I had been given was just as strange as my previous life.
The Wonshin Jeonryun Gyeop skill can only be cast on a body that has recently died or is on the verge of death.
This is because it replaces the seat where the original soul was sitting which means that the body my soul is currently sitting in has also died.
No matter how much I hate this body it's still so bad that people are beaten to the point of death.
Even a single slave wouldn't be treated like this.
…Or maybe he's not some criminal who committed a heinous crime?
If you have a lot of grudges it's annoying…
Just in case I quickly searched through the memories left in my body.
But the result was completely different from what I expected.
This body was only seventeen years old this year. It was still a child.
The woman in front of you is this child's stepmother.
Looking down at my arm I saw red bloodstains and bruises all over my white skin.
Unlike the woman who was dressed gorgeously in silk the clothes were dirty and had a bad smell so I wondered when they had last been washed.
I thought I knew how this child had been treated all this time.
This really sucks.
Even though I have lived in a world full of people who are not human I still feel disgusted whenever I see people like this.
"auntie."
"…what?"
The voice that had been chattering to itself suddenly stopped.
It's like a broken tick-tock doll.
Above her hardened pupils a strange child (who was very handsome not inferior to me in my past life and I liked him) smiled coldly.
"Your breath stinks. Could you please move your face away from me?"
"!!"
In an instant the woman's face turned bright red.
It was very nice to see.
* * *
"Don't even think about coming out of there until you realize what your mistake was!"
Boom!
I ended up being imprisoned in some nameless palace.
"You guys must never give that kid any food or water! If you get caught secretly taking care of him again like last time I'll tie him up in a bag and throw him in the well. So just know that!"
Did you boil the firewood and eat it ma'am? Your voice is truly amazing.
Unlike me who was giggling the maids answered weakly and trembled.
It seems like this isn't the first or second time this has happened.
"What on earth were you thinking when you said that Master? You know the madam's personality better than anyone else! Didn't it cause all of us to suffer because of you?"
The butler who came into the hall with me sighed deeply.
And yet he sends me a look of contempt and reproach… Huh!
I couldn't help but laugh. It was so absurd.
Come to think of it wasn't this guy blatantly following that lady's orders before he came here?
"What are you looking at like that?"
"Why? Can't I just watch?"
I haven't read all of the body's remaining thoughts yet.
But it wasn't that difficult to understand my current situation.
Because I as a small-time owner of the Cheonmasingyo had heard of this place at least once.
―The Nine Dragons of the Tang Gate.
This place also called 'Guryongbun Ga' was a branch run by the Sacheon Dangga famous for its poison and secret weapons.
Jiulong County is a major transportation area connected to the waterways of Qinghai where the Kunlun Sect of Podalap Palace is located to the west and Yunnan where the Tianlong Temple and the Jumchang Sect and the Odumun Gate of the Jumchang Sect are located to the south.
It was also a key location that was listed as a priority for occupation in the white book created by the Shingyo in preparation for a conflict with the Central Plains martial arts world in the event of a war so it remained in my memory.
Of course the Sacheondang family could not help but worry about maintaining their hegemony.
Accordingly the head of the household Tang Wen-hyeok who was the dark master of the household at the time entrusted the protection of Guryong County to Tang Ho-san the mad warrior who had roamed the Sichuan martial arts world with him during his time as the head of the household.
Dang Ho-san formed a branch group with several members of the Gwangpungdae (狂風隊) he led.
That was the beginning of this Kowloon branch.
Danghosan was a famous person with a great reputation in the martial arts world.
In fact he was a hero who made great contributions to helping the Sacheon Dangga defeat the old factions of Cheongseongpa and Amipa and become the ruler of Sacheon martial arts world.
I even received reports that the number of followers who lost their lives to the evil spirits he spread was not small and that they had to be killed without fail… But you were possessed as the child of such a person?
The 'Dang Yun-hwi' I settled on was the child of a maid that Dang Ho-san had sex with while drunk.
That is it means illegitimate child.
Although Dang Ho-san took in Dang Yun-hui who was just a one-night mistake he never treated him like a son.
So the martial arts that were passed down were all things like Tangmun style qigong (唐門締氣功) that were learned by outside followers.
In this situation the other family members had no choice but to treat Dang Yun-hwi coldly and in particular the wife Namgung San-yeong (the lady from before) would find fault with everything and even beat him.
"…."
Even though I chose the target of my ecstasy randomly I couldn't say anything because the place I landed on was in such a state.
That's why I've always avoided gambling especially dice and cards… Haa!
If my father mother and family environment were all like this I thought it would be okay to make a bet to see who would be more unfortunate compared to my past life.
It seems that one of his half-sisters occasionally took care of Dang Yun-hwi but she is no longer with the branch family so she is excluded.
"Stop talking nonsense and tell me what you are going to do now! How on earth are you going to take responsibility for this?"
Moreover rather than feeling sorry for this poor child the immediate butler even scolded him for talking back to him.
It reminded me of the neighborhood kids who used to pick fights with me when I was young.
What did I do after I became Master's disciple?
Step by step step by step-
"?"
As I approached him without saying a word the butler looked at me from afar as if asking why.
The gaze looking at me was still full of contempt.
Taaak!
I slapped him in the face without looking back.
"Your Majesty Do?"
The butler looked at her with a face of disbelief holding her flushed cheek.
"Bite this hard."
"what-"
"I clearly told you to bite hard."
Taaaaaah!
The head turned to the other side.
"If you do this I won't be able to stay still either-"
Taaaaah!
"Madam you know-"
Taaaaaaaah!
"That's enough!"
Zaaaah! Zaaaah! Zaaaah! Zaaaah! Zaaaah!
I slapped the butler's cheeks without stopping.
When I raised my head he would hit the other side and when I lowered it he would forcibly grab the back of my neck and hit me again.
It hurt so much that I thought my hand was going to fall off… but I guess I wasn't just stupidly enduring the life on the bridge right?
The original 'Yeonunhwi' was to hit the back of the head with a stone after being hit with a fist.
And after becoming the proud disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sword I tracked down the people who had been harassing me and threw them in prison one by one and after becoming the leader of the cult I forced them into working as laborers in a coal mine.
The Master said "Does it really have to be like this?" and that since I am the future leader I must now embrace the past mistakes of the believers.
well?
My thoughts are still the same Master. I believe everything you said but I cannot compromise on this one thing.
A stone in the eye a club in the tooth. If I didn't pay back tenfold when I was hit once I would always be the one getting hit.
Taaaaaaaah!
"Please save me please save me my lord my lord…!"
Eventually the butler grabbed my leg with a face as swollen as a steamed bun.
This one also looked stupid with a few thuds missing.
"Why me?"
"I didn't even know the topic! I started talking without knowing the topic. So please-"
"So why should I spare the life of a guy who talks nonsense without even knowing the topic?"
"That's it!"
When you threaten you have to do it properly. It's to the point where you feel like you might actually die.
Only by forcing people into dead ends and provoking fear can my voice truly reach the abyss.
Tsk tsk tsk-
In that moment a purple beam of light rose like a flame above my eyes.
Purple devil's eye.
A trick to shake the opponent's mind and firmly imprint my presence on them.
It was also the method I used when I as a Socheonma controlled my followers.
By now I probably looked like a ghost wearing a hat to this butler.
Shiver shiver….
As expected the butler's face turned pale and he began to tremble like an aspen tree.
I couldn't even bring myself to look him in the eye.
"Hyungsam you are the person my mother chose to be my professional butler just because you were a friend from her hometown. You saved my life from being a mere servant and yet instead of being grateful you show me this kindness?"
"I will never show myself so ungodly again! So please have mercy!"
Even though the Guryong branch is a branch that broke away from the main family it still uses the Dang surname.
The Sacheondang family is famous for having the strictest discipline among all the families in the martial arts world. The Nine-Ryong branch family is no exception.
Of course the punishment for insubordination was death. Even for the crime of blasphemy it was not a big deal to be banished as a half-cripple.
Even after being chased it was a problem. Who in the world would hire a guy like that willing to risk falling out of favor with their own family?
The weight that the Tang family held in the land of Sacheon was that great.
As I watched the scene of the rain falling down filled with fear I finally felt ready to listen to what I had to say.
"Then from now on you can do everything I say?"
Hyungsam nodded his head like crazy.
* * *
'Lee Gongja! Lee Gongja has changed!'
As soon as Hyungsam came out of the white room he started running around out of breath as if someone was chasing him.
'I'll give you exactly one hour (two hours). Come get all the items I ordered within that time. If not… figure it out yourself.'
Those eyes that swayed like a naturalization.
That voice was as cold as the North Sea.
Yunhwi's new appearance firmly positioned on one side of his head was completely different from his previous fragile appearance.
I don't know if he had been hiding that appearance all this time or if the wife's beatings got worse and all the pent-up emotions exploded.
The problem now was that the anger could turn on him.
Because of that Hyung-sam forgot Namgung San-young's earnest request to "report immediately if Lee Gong-ja acts strangely or does anything suspicious."
'I don't want to die! I don't want to die…! If I don't do what you tell me to do I'll be eaten! Ugh!'
Hyungsam saw clearly. The face of a large evil spirit sitting behind Unhwi.
The evil spirit whose teeth were like saws and rattling looked like it would eat him at any moment.
Of course it could be a goblin. But even so once the fear was firmly established it did not easily go away.
The time given is only one hour.
I had to hurry as much as possible to get everything done in there.
* * *
"Ugh. Trying to use sorcery without any magical powers is making my bones ache."
After chasing Hyung-sam away I sat down on the bed and pressed my temples with my index finger.
All the tricks I have learned so far are based on the upper tian of the brain gate.
However since I was too scared of the sword to properly train my martial arts skills I ended up using high-level techniques like the Purple Eye and the aftereffects were quite severe.
Still in order to properly establish a foundation in this place where there was no one to trust you needed at least one servant that you could command.
Hyung-sam will probably never be able to disobey me in his entire life.
Because the hallucinations had firmly imprinted the fear of me into my subconscious.
"Okay then shall we take a look?"
Then when the headache had subsided somewhat I sat cross-legged and straightened my back.
Now it's time to check this body.
If my guess was correct this body had just one advantage over my originally disabled body.
A place observed through observation.
Below the right side of the belly button.
There was a short circuit.
