The sharp pain in his chest jolted Leo awake.
He opened his eyes to find himself lying on the cold ground of a dilapidated courtyard.
"Ugh... where am I?"
A flood of memories rushed into his mind.
He was Leo, a 21st-century otaku who died from overworking. Now he had reincarnated into the body of a 16-year-old boy with the same name—a useless mortal in the Qingyun Clan, unable to cultivate any spiritual energy.
"You good-for-nothing trash! How dare you lie here and slack off?"
A rough kick landed on his stomach.
Leo looked up and saw a tall young man staring at him with contempt. It was Eric, his cousin, a level 3 Qi Refining cultivator.
"Pathetic mortal. The clan should have kicked you out long ago," Eric spat. "And your fiancée, Lila, is going to break off the engagement tomorrow. You're not even worthy to clean her shoes!"
The surrounding clansmen laughed and pointed.
Humiliation burned in Leo's chest.
Just as he was about to pass out, a cold, mechanical voice echoed in his mind.
