Rebel: The Inheritance System

Rebel: The Inheritance System
Reborn into a perilous world of cultivators and ancient powers, you, Shang Shi, carry the secret of a 'cheat' system bestowed by God. But this gift comes with a catch: a sassy, all-knowing system, a family hiding deeper secrets, and the sudden arrival of twin siblings whose birth shakes the heavens. Will you seize your destiny, master cultivation, and protect your family from the coming storm, or be swept away by the tides of fate?

The first thing I remember was the pain, a sharp smack on my butt that sent screams through my tiny, uncooperative body. I couldn't open my eyes, couldn't speak, just felt the searing sting.

Then came the blurry years, a haze of sleepy hunger and the occasional silly face made by giants. They called me 'stone,' said I rarely showed emotion. Well, what was there to be emotional about when you’re a baby and have the full, cynical memory of a past life on Earth?

My new parents, part of the Shang family, seemed nice enough. But the real game changer came on my thirteenth month birthday.

[Beep!]

[The Inheritance system is a gift from God and has activated.]

I was thrilled! A cheat system! Finally, my protagonist arc was beginning! I envisioned power, glory, and… many wives. But then, the system, in its infinite wisdom, decided I was too weak and promptly went dormant.

What a joke. Disappointed and depressed, I lay in my crib, watching my birthday party unfold around me. I was just a baby, yet already feeling neglected by a world that promised so much and delivered so little.
