Shanghai
On a hill not far from the city of Shanghai, there was a bluish-black-haired child, golden-brown eyes, white skin and smooth like a jade, which was the color of a child, average height for a 12-year-old.
The boy seemed to be pondering about what was happening to him right now. He was Jian Chen, a child who had only regained his memories a day after 12 years of living in Yggdrasil.
“This is a very harsh world, from the memories I had when I had not regained my memories just yet, only the strong could survive. Everything is determined by power. Strong is equal to truth, weak is wrong. If you are strong, anything can be done, if you are weak, you are just a loser.” Mumbled Jian Chen with a slightly bitter tone.
Of course Jian Chen was not at all excited about it because he was not a strong person, and one more thing, he simply did not have a supporter training him to be strong.
Jian Chen was an orphan in Shanghai. He felt sad when he remembered that he also did not have parents in this world as he had when he was on Earth.
The days that Jian Chen had gone through were extremely difficult. To eat, you have to work hard. He is still a child, and it will certainly be difficult to get something you want even if it is just for a simple meal.
Jian Chen lived in a place called a child shelter. The place only provides a place to stay because of the rules of a leader in Shanghai. That could be said to be generosity because in the past decades, street children were left stranded in the middle of the road.
With the policy of the leader, finally a child shelter was established. For children under eight years old, they will be fed. However, when reaching the age of eight years and above, all children must try themselves to find food.
Jian Chen's situation was completely unsupportive. He was a weak and careless child at all times. Only luck to him is favored by women who thirst for handsome children. If only his appearance was ugly, he would definitely starve to death from not being able to do anything right.
Jian Chen had to thank him for being born so handsome this time around in Yggdrasil.
But in the end it remains the same. Being raised to be a gigolo is not a good thing. Although few know themselves to be like that, still some eyes will not like him to be treated special by adult women.
In the end, many children were envious of him. He was beaten several times in the head. That happened a day ago. And that was the main reason his memory returned to its original state.
Jian Chen pondered all of his life over the past 12 years. His gaze was fixed on a large building near the outskirts of Shanghai.
“Only one way to survive in this world! It becomes strong!” Such a huge glint of determination emanated in Jian Chen's eyes. The place he was looking at right now was a certain building called the Resurrection Temple.
The Resurrection Temple was something that was made to test the talents of children at least 12 years of age.
In that place, the child's hidden strength would be unleashed even though Jian Chen did not understand how at all. However, from the few words of the adults in the city of Shanghai, all humans have them.
Therefore, every child will have the opportunity to be strong even though most of it is accompanied by luck. Of course, luck is something that a child raises.
“If not mistaken, two days ago the resurrection ceremony has been performed. And this will last for almost three days. I can't wait for next year to follow the resurrection ceremony.” Jian Chen who had made up his mind went towards the Resurrection Temple.
A few hours later, Jian Chen had arrived near the Resurrection Temple. Many children of her age were waiting in line to enter the temple for the resurrection ceremony. Only a child is welcome to enter, while adults can only drive to the gate.
Although the language in the world of Yggdrasil was different from Earth, Jian Chen still understood that the word referred to the cultivator he had read from history books.
Jian Chen slowly walked towards the temple gate. But he felt many cold gazes directed at him. It made him slightly wrinkled but ignored them all.
As he approached the gate, several guards saw Jian Chen. All of the guards snorted then let Jian Chen pass because he should have followed the resurrection ceremony.
When he went inside with a bad feeling, the voice of a child was heard far in front of him who was waiting in line.
“Oh? Isn't that Jian Chen? You still have the guts to appear in public!”
Jian Chen's gaze was fixed towards the source of the voice and found a child his age but had a slightly ferocious appearance and a body that looked extremely sturdy.
Jian Chen instantly recognized the boy from his memories. He was one of the children who took him to the hill with some of his friends and beat him all out right in the head.
However, there was a very awkward thing about the incident for Jian Chen. The wound on his head only left a mark and it was something impossible to heal in a day. But he didn't care at all about it the important thing he survived.
“Zugong!”
Jian Chen gritted his teeth slightly and looked at the child named Zugong with an extremely cold gaze.
“What's with that look of yours? It seems you already have a little guts. Don't you realize that you've become the most famous person in Shanghai?” Zugong smirked evilly.
Jian Chen's eyes narrowed slightly as he did not understand what Zugong was saying. He also thought back to why everyone initially looked at him with a cold look did not like.
All the children in that place were staring at Jian Chen with a look of disdain.
As Jian Chen only remained silent and seemed to be thinking, Zugong simply chuckled then threw a neatly rolled up paper.
Jian Chen instinctively caught it and opened it. When he saw the contents, he finally understood why everyone was looking at him with a look of disdain.
On the paper, there was a picture of her being completely naked in front of a woman nearing middle age.
And the caption written below the picture must have made people feel disgusted because of the many accusations he never made.
“Minors abuse? Due to being an adult female toy, Jian Chen ended up doing the same to the other children. And some of the underage girls had admitted all of it was done by Jian Chen. Theft of personal belongings of housewives. The main suspect who is always suspected of being a boy peeks at the bathhouse.”
“Jian Chen, branded as the biggest pervert in Shanghai city!”
