-------- Arthur's Pov ----------
After being dragged into the portal, my sense of direction became so warped that I couldn't tell where was where.
If I had to describe how it felt, I would say that up was down, and down was left, and left was up and down at the same time.
"Argh!" I screamed in pain as the migraine I felt was getting stronger. And as they did, I began to see 'images' or 'clips'.
No, I think it would be more appropriate to say that they were memories. As they felt like something I knew but forgot and then remembered.
I was remembering my past. Which not too surprisingly were the dreams I have been having lately.
Dreams of being from a cultivation world. With the 'me', then training and cultivating madly with all sorts of powerful foes at my neck.
'These memories are incomplete,' I thought.
The more I remember, the more I noticed that the memories I recalled were only in parts and most of them stopped halfway.
Although there was one part that was complete.
'So that's how I ended up on the earth,' I thought, as I saw the memories of how I created 999,999 soul clones of myself and sent them to different worlds with the gems of the multiverse.
'That means the Time Gem must have been responsible for stopping time when I almost got shot in the head?'
But, it was also what was the trigger that led to the migraine and the recovery of my past life's memories.
As I recalled the very few memories, I began to wonder about who was the being that saved me. And also about the uniqueness of planet Earth.
With all these things and many questions in my head, I suddenly felt my back on a hard surface, along with the end of my memory recovery, and the headaches.
"Ugh..."
I slowly opened my eyes to see a blue sky and tall trees. With my hands on the ground, I shakily stood up, using a nearby tree to stop myself from falling back down because I still felt dizzy from the impromptu space travel.
Shaking my head vigorously I tried to stop the dizziness, which worked a little.
"Am I back in the previous world?" I asked myself, as I looked around this forest that was a bit too silent for my liking.
"But where am I..."
I couldn't complete that statement as I bent forward and started vomiting. After a while, it stopped and I started walking in a random direction slowly.
As I did, I pondered on what to do. And then I decided to see if I could draw out the gems. But that ended in failure as I couldn't sense anything at all.
*Boom!*
"What the?!"
As the explosion suddenly went off a long distance away, that caused even the ground where I was to tremble.
A part of me felt like going to see what was going on. After all, I'm in an actual cultivation world!
A world that I once imagined living in. I mean, how cool would it be to witness super abilities being used in real life?
"Yeah, right. I am not planning to die so early. The first rule in a cultivation world, 'remain as low key as possible and avoid any kind of exposure until you are strong enough."
With that, I turned in the opposite direction and started walking as fast as I could. And soon, I could run again as my sense of space became normal.
Sprinting away, I heard multiple sounds of battles and could hear some screaming.
"Ignore them, the first goal is to not die so soon," I said to myself and focused even more on leaving the surrounding area.
But it seems that things just didn't want to go my way...like always.
*voom!*
A shadow flashed from above and landed right in front of me. Forming a crater.
*boom!*
Another quickly landed and walked up to the one in the crater. As I looked on, too shocked to move.
The person stopped and turned to me.
"Hmmm, another one...no cultivation?" fre ewebno vel.com
My body shivered when he started at me and I had the feeling I always read about in cultivation novels.
'Like all my secrets were seen through. So that's how it feels,' I thought.
Another thing was, that he looked exactly like I did in my past life, though a little different.
He had a pale appearance and a handsome visage, along with dark red hair and the same color for the eyes. He also had a tiny red sword-shaped mark on his forehead, while donning a blood-red amour, and a bloody red sword in his right hand.
'Damn, he must love the color red a lot,' I said mentally.
As he turned his head to look at the crater once more, an attack suddenly came from within as an axe was hurled towards the red-haired swordsman, as I decided to call him.
*swoosh!*
He tilted to the side with a faster speed as the axe flew past my head, slicing off a bit of my hair with it.
I shivered at that close call. As I further confirmed by experience how dangerous the cultivation worlds are.
'How did I ever dream of being in such a world? Earth is much better than this death trap!'
"Tch!"
The attacker ticked his tongue at his failed attack.
"Thought, I had you there."
"You thought wrong."
"Hey, how about you let me absorb this little one here before we continue our battle? After all, he doesn't seem to have any power like the rest of us and if you kill me it would be the same as you getting him as well. Since he is one of us too."
At this time the dust from the crater cleared up as a man in a black robe flew out and hovered in the sky, while looking at me with a strange glow in his eyes.
It felt like, he was looking at me like prey.
The red-haired swordsman was about to reply before being interrupted by a tremble.
"What the..."
Space began to warp all around us and the world trembled as flashes of light began to appear everywhere.
This continued to happen for a long time before it stopped, my vision was filled with a sight I would never forget in my life.
Hundreds of thousands of cultivators were hovering all around the vast sky, covering as far as my eye could see.
And much more than that, they all look the same except for some differences like hair, eyes, and aura.
They all looked alike...
"They all look like me..." I muttered.
'So these are my clones, and all 999,999 of them?'
