Chapter 1: Reborn on Earth

Chapter 1: Reborn on Earth

On the evening of February 13,2010, which was New Year's Eve in Britain, everyone was immersed in the joy of the festival, enjoying the rare reunion at home and feeling the warmth of home.

In Jian 'ou, a small city in the south of Sao Paulo state, it was also very busy on the streets at around 9 p.m., when everyone was celebrating. Children were running around the streets and alleys with their family's lucky money in their pockets, waving all kinds of fireworks in their hands and playing with their friends.

In a narrow alley, something unknown was happening at this moment. Blinding lightning kept flashing through the alley, as if it were tearing the air apart, yet strangely there was no thunder. After a while, the lightning disappeared. A black mist appeared out of nowhere in the alley. As the mist dissipated, two naked people fell from it—a man and a woman. They lay on the ground, unconscious. In this cold winter, they felt nothing, holding hands quietly, lying motionless, dozing off.

"Mom, Mom... you go and see, there are two naked dead people in that alley!" Xiaoqiang ran to his mother, grabbed her hand, and pulled her toward the alley. He had just played hide-and-seek with his friends and hid in this alley when he discovered these two young men lying on the ground.

Xiao Qiang's mother followed her son into the alley with half-belief and half-doubt, only to realize that her son hadn't lied to her. Two naked young men were lying peacefully on the ground, just like all the people of Sao Paulo—black hair, yellow skin. Feeling no danger, Xiao Qiang's mother mustered up the courage and walked over to feel their pulses. They were steady, and there were no visible wounds. As a nurse, she knew these two should not be in danger. But why were they lying here on such a cold night? And it was New Year's Eve; they should be with their families, right? Without thinking too much, her years of caring for patients told her what to do. She took out her phone, intending to call the hospital, but then thought that with the New Year, the hospital would likely be understaffed. Since these two were not in danger, she decided to take them home first. So she called her husband, and together they brought the two young men back home.

Waking up again, Rodin found himself lying on an unfamiliar bed, warm. This was his first impression. He glanced at the blanket covering him and felt a bit puzzled. How did he end up here? Then it dawned on him; he must have succeeded! Just as he realized this, something felt off. He was completely naked... Looking around, he saw Jaina lying quietly beside him, her expression serene, indicating she was fine too. His hand moved, and he accidentally touched Jaina's heated body. It turned out she was also completely undressed, as her clothes had been torn apart by the powerful energy flow from the stargate during the teleportation. Rodin's face flushed, and his body reacted. This woman was actually quite attractive, considering how Jaina had looked down on him during his time at the Mage Society, and he naturally hadn't paid much attention to her. He didn't realize that even the current king of Stormwind was pursuing this woman!

It was right then that the door opened, and in came the female doctor who had saved Rodin, Xiaoqiang's mother. Rodin immediately used telepathy to invade this human's mind and quickly learned their language to avoid unnecessary trouble. The woman, seeing Rodin staring at her with a dazed look, wasn't too curious and smiled as she greeted Rodin: "You're awake!"

Luo Ding found that his magic power had become very weak in this world. He had barely learned some human languages, but he could no longer read more. He had no choice but to withdraw his consciousness. "Well, how did we get here?"

"Oh, last night my son found you in an alley. It was so cold that I thought both of you had fainted, so I took you back to my house. I thought you must have run into some trouble! My name is Chen Xiaofeng. I don't know how you call me!" Chen Xiaofeng explained politely.

"Um... this, my name is Rodin, I don't know why I fainted there!" Rodin couldn't find an excuse... so he just told the truth.

"Um..." The expression on Chen Xiaofeng's face kept changing. In her view, the young man before her must have encountered something she didn't want others to know about. She didn't ask much and put down the clothes in her hands, saying, "Here are two sets of clothes. You and your girlfriend can change into them. It's so cold out, and it's also the New Year. How can you go without clothes? By the way, you must be hungry by now? I'll go get some food for you!" Chen Xiaofeng said this and turned to leave.

After Chen Xiaofeng left, Luo Ding quickly shook Jiana beside him. Under Luo Ding's continuous shaking, Jiana gradually came to her senses. Opening her phoenix eyes, the first person she saw was this man in front of her—the president of the Mage Association, Luo Ding. Not dead? Then he must have succeeded?

"We did it?" Jaina asked Rodin with a little disbelief, her face full of doubt!

"Well, we succeeded. If I'm not mistaken, this must be Earth! The blue planet that appears on the star map." Rodin was also very happy. He had bet so much on this time, it was his life. If he won, how could he not be happy?

"Yes, we really did it!" Jaina was also very happy and hugged Rodin!

... Immediately, Jaina noticed something was off. She felt that Rodin, whom she was holding, seemed to be naked. The warmth of his body and the temperature of his muscles could be felt through her own. If she could feel it, then she wasn't wearing anything either? She quickly let go! Her reflexes kicked in as she pulled the blanket over herself, wrapping her body tightly.

Rodin hurriedly explained: "This... this might be because our clothes were consumed by the powerful energy inside the stargate when we were being transported! I only realized we were both naked when I woke up!" Although Rodin was the president of the Mage Association, high and mighty, with many girls chasing him, he had never met anyone he liked. Perhaps due to his personality, he had never touched a girl in all his life, so he naturally felt a bit shy. As for Jaina, she had dedicated her entire life to the study of magic and had never experienced love. At this moment, the two of them seemed like two inexperienced young people, making the scene extremely awkward.

Jaina didn't speak, her face flushed like a ripe apple. She nodded symbolically at Rodin. If it were the past, when they were on Mars, Rodin would have been in trouble, not to mention being turned into a hundred sheep by that terrifying woman's transformation spell. Although he was also very powerful, he had no confidence in front of the first mage recognized by this alliance.

"By the way, I need to use mind reading to transmit the language used here to you so we don't get caught! Don't be too cautious with your consciousness, or I won't be able to enter your spiritual sea. I think you've noticed that our magical power is very weak in this world. Whether it's because the Star Gate has absorbed a lot of our magic or due to the nature of this world, even using the most basic mind reading is extremely difficult for me."

Jaina nodded, but her face turned even redder. Rodin didn't notice; a divine consciousness invaded Jaina's spirit sea and transmitted the newly learned Chinese to her. Just as he was about to withdraw from Jaina's spirit sea, he saw something he shouldn' t have... Jaina had lived for so many years and had never been naked in front of a strong young man before. Naturally, she would daydream, no wonder her face turned redder just now, fearing that Rodin might discover her uncontrollable thoughts.

She was wrong. Jaina quickly expelled Rodin's consciousness from the Spirit Sea! Rodin sneered at Jaina with ill intent, and Jaina slapped him across the face. Fortunately, Rodin dodged in time to avoid her magic hand.

"What are you laughing at? I advise you to give up the idea. Don't even think about it!" Jaina whispered, her head bowed in shame.

"By the way, the man who just saved us brought us two sets of clothes. Put them on so I don't get carried away again!" Rodin picked up the clothes Chen Xiaofeng had brought and put them on first, then threw the other set to Jaina.

"You... you turn your head!" Jaina turned Rodin's head before she could get up and put on her clothes. She had just finished when the door knocker rang, startling Jaina.

"Don't be afraid, it's the one who saved us. She took food for us and she must be back!"

The door opened, and Chen Xiaofeng entered with two large plates of food. It was the New Year, so the meal was quite abundant. She placed the food on the table and began to look at Luo Ding and Jiana. What handsome young men they are! This girl is also quite good; dressed in her younger days' clothes, she looks like a movie star, so fresh and vibrant.

Jaina found the lady looking at her, nodded politely and said in Chinese, "Hello, if I'm right, you are the good man who saved us. My name is Jaina!"

"Jaina... what a strange name!" Chen Xiaofeng muttered, but she didn't offend anyone; she politely nodded, "My name is Chen Xiaofeng. Come, come sit down. You're here as guests, so you're all part of my family. You must be hungry, right? Have some food first! My husband took my son out to play, and he'll be back soon to introduce you to him. Eat first, take your time. If you want more, just ask me. I'll go do something else and won't bother you! By the way, there's a TV here. Here's the remote!" She said, picked up the remote, and pressed it. Instantly, a talking man appeared on the TV screen, startling Rodin and Jaina... What, what is this monster? How could someone be locked in this dark box and still speak! Rodin and Jaina exchanged glances, using their spiritual awareness to communicate. But no matter how hard they tried, they still couldn't figure out what it was!

Seeing the two people shocked by the TV, Chen Xiaofeng was even more confused. What? This is the age? Is there anyone who doesn't know what TV is?

Rodin and Jaina found that their actions must have aroused Chen Xiaofeng's suspicion. Rodin quickly smiled awkwardly and said, "Hehe, I'm sorry, we came from a very rural area and have never read a book. I don't know what this is......"

... Chen Xiaofeng was speechless and explained: "This is called TV, do you know? It's the media. We can learn a lot of domestic and foreign news and see many interesting programs by watching TV."

Luo Ding and Jiana still shook their heads... helpless! Chen Xiaofeng didn't know how to explain to these two country bumpkins who knew nothing. Strangely enough, their behavior and even their demeanor seemed far from that of country folk; instead, they looked like well-bred nobles! It's a strange phenomenon every year, but this year it's particularly rampant! On the first day of the lunar new year, encountering such odd people, Chen Xiaofeng even wondered if they were mentally unstable, but there was no sign of it in their eyes. There was nothing about them that suggested madness—only an extraordinary calmness and wisdom!

"This... is something like a bulletin board. Do you know what a bulletin board is?"

This time Rodin and Jaina nodded, because in Storm City, whenever something was announced to the public, it would be posted on the magic bulletin board at the door of the cathedral.

"Yes, it's like a bulletin board. You can find out about everything that happens in the country from here!"

"Oh!" Rodin and Jaina nodded as if they understood but didn't quite. Chen Xiaofeng had gone out, and the two sat down at the table, eating without any hesitation. They were too hungry; opening the star gate had drained a great deal of their magical power, leaving them exhausted and overwhelmed by hunger. They watched TV while eating, and Rodin found himself able to understand what was being said on the screen.

This is truly a wondrous world! Curiosity fills the hearts of both individuals! Facing this unknown world, they are filled with hope. For this world bears too many similarities to their former home; even the people living here look so much like themselves! Almost unrecognizable!
