We see an eighteen-year-old young man holding a large dagger in his hand, pointing it toward three people standing in front of him.
"You fu**ing bastards! Leave this place right now, or things won't end well for you," Das shouted loudly, his expression cold and filled with anger.
Seeing the dagger in Das's hand, the three men became nervous. They hesitated, thinking that it might be better to step back for now.
"Kid, you've got guts. But there are limits people shouldn't cross," one of the three said. He was wearing torn, yellow-colored clothes like a beggar.
The three of them slowly stepped back and eventually walked away from the hut.
Das followed them outside and watched as they left the area.
After a while, he returned inside the hut and sat silently in a corner without saying a word.
"Bunch of trash," he muttered coldly.

(Neon City – Slum Area)
My name is Das, and I am from a completely different world. Right now, I am inside the body of a boy named Luo Feng.
Sigh…
"Even after getting a second chance, I still got unlucky… to be reborn as trash."
As I was thinking about what to do next, I realized the body I was in originally belonged to someone from one of the three major clans of Neon City—the Luo Family. His name was Luo Feng.
But because he couldn't awaken his cultivation talent, he was abandoned by his own family.
Now, he had been living in the slums for almost a month. He hadn't had anything to eat and eventually starved to death.
You might wonder—why did he starve? Did he just wait for death?
The answer is a big no.
He tried everything to get food. He even tried stealing, but he was brutally beaten and seriously injured. In the end, he died because of those injuries and starvation.
I looked down at myself. Both of my hands were wrapped in white cloth, tied tightly. I was wearing a white shirt and black torn pants, which looked quite strange on me.
Right now, I was in the slums of Neon City, also known as the abandoned part of the city—because this is where the trash and so-called "garbage people" of Neon City live.
I kept thinking about what to do next, because I only had a few options.
Option one: Wait and die.
And I am definitely not choosing that
Option two: Fight.
But how? And against whom?
Should I fight the Luo Family that abandoned him?
No… I don't have that kind of power.
[ Ding ! ]
Just as I was wondering what to do, I heard a bell-like sound. But there was no bell anywhere near me.
So… where did that sound come from?
