Adamus_Auguste

"In order to survive the future great war, we must take drastic measures. We need to summon warriors and train them before time runs out." 

Thus, millions of earthlings were reincarnated in an alien, medieval world governed by swords and magic to save its prophesied doom.

Among those individuals, one's situation inexplicably deviated from the others. 
Thrust into a rotting house in a ghostly body, Adam found himself bound to a wailing baby. With a heavily damaged soul and the snarky remarks of a system, he began his years-long quest to recover his body. 

Armed with his mind, he'll educate the baby and slowly watch him turn into a good youth. However, he would have to make a choice: suffer as a ghost until he finds an alternative that might not exist, or possess his body and reincarnate.

He was far from imagining how dangerous this world full of possibilities could be, prompting him to question everything he knew... Including himself and this world's intentionally blurred history.

Note: The MC is not a supporting character or hidden master. It's his story, motivated by his choices and battles, not the baby's. Please don't fall for prejudices like 'I know where this is going,' because spoiler: you definitely don't.

What you can expect: 
-A living world with its own lore.
-Each character has their own motivations and desires.
-Moral grey story.
-An MC who grows and learns little by little.
-A long but epic quest.
-Badass female chars later in the story.
-Cultivation and magic that makes sense.

I Refused To Be Reincarnated

Adam followed the middle-aged Qi smith through the association tiled corridors until they emerged in a gathering hall.

The flavor of different steaming teas swirled around individuals harboring the same anvil symbols on their chests.

The number and color of stars surrounding it varied, but he noticed one with six shining golden stars sipping from his cup as his colleagues talked him up about Qi infusion techniques. A few displayed their newly crafted blades and armors, beaming after receiving the man's praises.

He raised a brow at the warm atmosphere as his guide halted before the aged leader.

"He passed the test under my supervision. However, I'm unsure about his level. Mind assessing his craft, elder Zhao Longyan?"

"Oh? That's rare coming from you." The aged leader's brown eyes sparkled as he gestured toward Adam. "Show me your item, child. I'll give you the most honest assessment."
