AM I DEAD?

reaching the top of the ocean Ling Qin noticed that it was still night time and he was barely a few miles form shore. after a quick swim he finally reached land. climbing his way up to the beach he decided to take a brake, this long swim was something he has never done before. while sitting on the beach and looking don at the grimoire he noticed his fingernails were around a inch long with a sharp tip but that wasn't the craziest part, it was also purple black. now taking his time to notice the changes on his body he saw that his skin was pale so pale that the sand he was sitting on looked dark brown in comparison.

Long Qin quickly jumped to his feet and looked at his refection in the water. what he saw was a different man. long jet black hair that fell to his shoulders and chiseled face with sharp eyebrows and the most striking feature bright green eyes. looking down at the rest of his body all he could see was muscle not a ounce of fat to be seen. Long Qin looked around found that he couldn't see anyone around.

Long Qin reached for the grimoire. as he was reaching his arms felt stiff like quick drying cement, it was getting harder and harder to move his arms. one he got the grimoire into his hands he tried to open it but, that on its own was a battle. just turning to the fist page took every ounce of his strength but when he did he was met with shock and melancholy. the page read as so

ahahah!

my successor sorry to break it to you but your dead!

what you have in your veins isn't blood but death qi the longer you move about fight the more you need.

oh by the way if the sun touches your body before you breakthrough to zombie grunt you will burn to a crisp.

reading up to this point Long Qin was sweating, i'm dead? but i'm here living moving about.

zombie grunt? breakthrough? is this a cheesy cultivation drama? this cant be right!

i know theres a lot of doubt in your mind right now but the fact that you can read this means you aren't dead and theres still time for you to cultivate before the sun comes up. be quick my successor! ahahaha...

at this moment without having the time to contemplate his situation a cultivation technique was forced into his mind. the pain this tie was nothing compared to earlier when he was transformed into this thing.

[divine palace cultivation technique]

in my current era cultivation is dying there are only a handful of demigods left in tis world.

so i'm just going to assume that cultivation is but a myth or rare in your era. so i will write the divine palace technique in laymen's terms.

how to cultivate your divine palace.

step 1. find an area full of death Qi.

step 2. sit cross legged and gather all the death Qi to your center.

step 3.hope and pray your body doesn't disintegrate before you can build your first deathly palace.

side note: build yourself a coffin because when you breakthrough to zombie grunt you will leak death Qi as you sleep and normal beds or even the ground will be corroded by your death Qi. for how to build your coffin and what materials to use. go to page 2 of the Oramain grimoire.

inside the grimoire...

'feeowh'

'its real hard to act like what is written in the grimoire is all letter from the past.

thank me, I read his memories and learn about things called online recipes.'

now that Long Qin knows what he has to do, he quickly ran back to his village and looked for his home. on the way there, he had many heart pounding comment because he almost go caught in his underwear a few times. thankfully he found himself at the entrance of his home smoothly.

one of the things that got him on edge now is meeting any of his family members or the servants of his clan. so Long Qin ran to his room gathered anything worth money such as gold, banknotes, and jade. stuffed them into his the black robe he found in the back of his closet. mind you that any of his normal clothes are to big around the waist for him to wear anymore. this robe he found belonged to his younger brother before he left the clan.

so now conflicted Long Qin once again braced himself and b-lined for his fathers study. dodging and sneaking all the way there it took him a full fifteen minutes just to get there. the door was locked like always but thank god Long Qin had a decent memory. he remember that a few years back while his father was showing off a new treasure he got to his younger brother, his father blew out the candle in front of his study and pressed the button next to the wick. making his way inside Long Qin did not forget to relight the candle.

hey guys thanks for reading! i'm writing this story as i go. tell me if you want more detail how he gets to places and better interactions with other people.

one thing i really hate is badly written enemies and horrible info drops. so i'll try to keep all the stuff as natural as possible.

If you guys have any preferences for the female lead, please leave it in the comment section. I'm a bit conflicted what to do with her at the moment. I appreciate all the readers for checking out my novel it's going to take a little time for me to get used to doing daily uploads, but I'll try my best to keep it up.

By the way the main character isn't going to be a big pervert, I kind of in-ironically set him up to be one just don't mind it and act like it was a small mistake from a up and coming author.
