Transmigration: Children of The Plane

Death and Transmigration

Life was a fragile thing. It didn't matter whether someone was the smartest being alive or a random beggar on the street. Everything was equally worthless in the face of the indifferent universe. No matter how precious or dear someone's life was to you, in front of the cruel and unforgiving world, it could be taken away without any warning.

And that was what happened to Xue Bai on the eve of his 10th birthday.

"I'm sorry to say this, Mr. and Mrs. Xue, but your son has ALS and may not walk again." And with those words, Xue Bai's childhood life ended.

From that day onward, Xue Bai lived in his hospital room, which was great at first. After all, he was only 10 when he first heard it. So the first thought that came to mind was, "no more school," However, the novelty quickly wore out.

Boredom quickly set in as he was in his bed all day, every day.

So, to sate his boredom, Xue Bai asked his parents to buy him different electronics.

The world he was born in was cruel to him, so he tried to find an escape from others.

And after getting his first tablet, Xue Bai started his deep dive into the world of fantasy.

Xue Bai then spent the rest of his time delving into different fantasy works. It didn't matter what they were either, as he soaked up anything. Magic, supernatural, fantasy, the genre didn't matter, and neither did the type of entertainment, as Xue Bai loved both tv shows and novels alike.

Anything else that was full of unrealistic feats performed by superhuman characters brought enjoyment to his boring life.

And for the next three years, Xue Bai's life was spent doing just that. Reading every book that his parents bought him and watching every new show he found that piqued his interest. Other than his physical handicap, nothing was constant during his time in the hospital.

Even his room had changed slightly over the years. Now, it had gained more liveliness than when he first was admitted, as there were books, manga, and CDs of his favorite fantasy works throughout the room.

Time passed quickly, and on a random Monday morning that seemed like it was going to be a typical day, his parents barged into his room with confusingly broad smiles. His dad was carrying a box as he and his mother stood beside him, seemingly giddy with excitement.

While confused, Xue Bai waited for his parents to explain what was in the box.

This didn't take long, as before his curiosity took over and Xue Bai asked first, his mother came to his side and explained what Mr. Xue was carrying.

Mrs. Xue Bai explained that In the box was something called a VR(Virtual Reality) helmet, which the doctors had recommended. Apparently, the doctors had said while the chances were slim, it could theoretically help him walk again.

And since Xue Bai was his parent's entire world, it went without question that they wanted any opportunity they could get for their son to walk again, so while the chance was slim, they still bought a VR helmet and an accompanying game for Xue Bai to play.

The Xue couple was rather rich, and one measly VR helmet wouldn't hurt them financially, so even if it didn't do as advertised, the couple knew their son would enjoy the games nonetheless.

And since they knew their son well, the game his parents bought was of his favorite genre, Eastern Fantasy.

The mentions of immortality, flying, and fighting blood-boiling battles gave the young ALS patient enjoyment like no other.

The game his parents bought him was the most recent popular Eastern Fantasy game called "Children of the Plane," which, as advertised, had a new take on the over-saturated cultivation game genre.

This game, like many others in the genre, required you to create a character and choose a starting point before fully jumping into a well-choreographed and beautiful cultivation world where your dreams could come true.

However, unlike in most cultivation genre games, where you were the only protagonist, this game was much different.

In "Children of the Plane," besides the character you create, there were five other 'protagonists.' However, to separate you and your five competitors from the rest of the world, you were all given a blessing from the plane itself and were given the title called "Child of the Plane."

This would be a blessing that affected every aspect of your life in an extremely beneficial way.

The title meant that you were blessed by fate. Having extremely good luck that would allow you to find great treasures anywhere or having great charisma that would give you an easier time creating allies.

There were also many other inclusive traits, but they all boiled down to what the main character of a standard cultivation novel would have.

Whether they were good or bad.

Another new concept in the game was that, depending on how you played the game, the other 5 Children of the Plane could be your sworn brothers, spouses, or mortal enemies.

Meaning that there were no set ways on how to play the game. The world was your sandbox, and every time you wanted to start a new world, you could even choose different allies or enemies to make your journey fresh every time.

And no matter how fast you cultivated, the other Children of the Plane had a feature that allowed them to keep up with your cultivation base and cultivation speed, raising the difficulty by giving you constant pressure.

This way that no matter how good you were at the game or how well you were at using 'online references,' you'd always have people on your heels.

Finally, and most importantly, every single Child of the Plane, besides you, was based on a standard cultivation novel troupe.

Ring Grandma, Regression, Reincarnation, the top 5 most oversaturated and overused cultivation novel troupes, were being used in the game.

Enticed by the description, Xue Bai didn't even wait for his parents to leave before he put on the helmet and started his first playthrough of the game.

Instantly he quickly fell in love with the game.

And over the next two years, Xue Bai would spend most of his time playing "Children of the Plane,"

While he had finished the main story since there was a sequel on the way, he decided to explore everything the first game had to offer fully. Also, since the game was so realistic, Xue Bai constantly felt like he was doing all these heaven-defying acts himself, making him never want to remove the helmet.

After waiting a month, Xue Bai finally received the next game, "Children of the Heavens."

Reading the description, Xue Bai quickly learned that it took place in the Immortal World, a higher plane. But in order to reach the Immortal Realm, you first had to ascend from the Baishen Plane, the place where "Children of the Plane" took place.

But in order to ascend, there were two prerequisites. One was to have a cultivation base that was at least in the Immortal Origin realm, while the other was to pass a final Heavenly Tribulation.

Thankfully, across his two years of playing, Xue Bai had long cultivated to the peak of the mortal plane, the 13th stage of the Immortal Ascension Realm.

However, while he was waiting for his Heavenly Tribulation, Xue Bai suddenly felt short of breath.

At first, he thought that it was a sneak attack, but since he already had someone to watch over him, Xue Bai ignored it and continued trying to calm himself.

Heavenly Tribulations were no joke, and even the slightest change in mentality could result in his death and losing everything.

But minutes quickly passed, and the feeling only got worse. Soon he couldn't even breathe. Now scared, he thought his companion had been killed, and he was next, so he hurriedly checked his surroundings.

However, even after he used his Spiritual Sense, Xue Bai sensed nothing around him within miles.

Even his companion was perfectly fine a few miles away, lazily lying down on a rock.

Seeing her so nonchalant made Xue Bai realize something. The feeling wasn't coming from inside the game but was instead coming from his actual body.

While he'd had attacks like these before, this one felt different, and almost instantly, Xue Bai knew it was severe. So before he inevitably passed out, Xue Bai paused the game, took off his VR helmet, and pressed the help button.

But even as he was waiting for help to reach him, Xue Bai could feel himself hyperventilating harder than ever.

It was getting harder and harder to breathe, and his vision was blanking.

Feeling an ominous feeling building up inside him, Xue Bai quickly became scared. But what could he really do? He couldn't do anything to help himself, so as he worried about death, he could only stay in his bed and wait for help.

The help arrived quickly, and it only took just over 20 seconds for the door to swing open, and doctors stormed inside.

But even as he saw the doctors barge in, something in Xue Bai made him know that they were too late. And just before passing out, Xue Bai got one more good look at the panicked looks on the doctors' faces.

'They look so worried.'

And after an unknown amount of time, Xue Bai finally woke up.

But as he opened his eyes, the memories of why he passed out ran through his mind, and without even thinking, he sprung up from his bed to look around his room. Yet right after his back moved, shock filled his face, and he realized what he had just done.

He had moved!

Xue Bai hadn't been able to sit up for almost a year, so doing it now with practically no effort shocked him.

Still, his shock wasn't over, as what surprised Xue Bai more than his body listening to him was his 'hospital room.'

Not only had his tiny hospital bed transformed into an ancient Chinese bed that was big enough to fit an entire small family. It even had the cliche thin curtains that blocked the view from the outside.

With his mind still reeling from the current situation, Xue Bai knew he had to investigate his surroundings.

Not only did he find himself in an archaic room, but he also suddenly regained his mobility. Something was definitely off about his current situation, and he needed to find out before something bad happened.

Climbing out of bed was simple, but as he went to move the curtains, he noticed the last anomaly, his body.

When Xue Bai went to grab the curtains, he saw his hands were too small for a 15-year-old, no matter how weak his body was.

Horrified, Xue Bai looked at the rest of his body, only to see that he was only a child, maybe 6 or 7 years old.

Seeing his shrunken body, Xue Bai tried to think about what had happened to get here. It certainly wasn't a kidnapping because no matter how good the kidnappers were, they wouldn't be able to swap his body.

Thinking supernaturally, Xue Bai soon thought up the only plausible scenarios. He had either transmigrated or reincarnated. However, as he thought a little deeper, he remembered that for either to happen, Xue Bai had to die.

'I died?' Xue Bai thought the worst.

Instantly, he remembered everything in his life. His parent's sweet smiles, the kind doctors who were always helping him, and even the novels that he hadn't finished reading all the sweet parts of his life came to him.

All the good nostalgic memories and the contradicting fact that they were all gone now made Xue Bai suddenly feel sick to his stomach. He had died. No matter how bad his life was, there were still many good things, and even if there weren't, it was still his. So finding out that he had died made him feel nauseous.

Holding his mouth and trying to suppress his vomit for a few seconds, Xue Bai jumped out of bed to puke whatever meal the previous host had eaten. Quickly scanning the room in hopes of finding a nearby bin to use, he spotted something resembling a trash can.

Without checking to see what it actually was, Xue Bai ran over to it and vomited into it until his stomach felt empty, and he started dry heaving.

After vomiting, Xue Bai began to calm himself down by taking a few deep breaths.

Seconds quickly passed, and after taking in a few huge breaths, he soon regained his composure.

Though he still didn't accept his new situation, Xue Bai knew that his opinion did not matter much in the grand scheme of things.

Something had happened, and now he was in a new environment.

So now filled with curiosity, Xue Bai stood up from the bin and finally started looking around his new room.

And seeing it for the first time, he had very few complaints. While it was an ancient time-themed room, everything looked rich and fancy to the point where he, a future-era person, could tell.

From the gold-clothed linings on the blanket or the cicada wing thin curtain around his bed, not a single thing in the room looked cheap. Hell, even the trash can he threw up into was created from what looked like shiny silver metal.

As he finished evaluating his room, Xue Bai spotted a mirror next to a desk and decided to take a look at his new body. However, as he walked to the mirror, he soon found out he was too short to look at it standing normally, so after getting a stool that he found nearby, Xue Bai stood on it to see his new appearance.

But like everything else that happened in the last two minutes, once he looked in the mirror, he was shocked.

Looking back at him from inside the mirror was a Chinese toddler.

This wasn't very odd since Xue Bai himself was Chinese before transmigration, but once he looked at its, or rather his face, he was captivated.

The skin of the toddler was fair and white, while its face seemed so delicate and pale that it looked almost like a porcelain doll.

Going down slightly, Xue Bai had his attention caught on the oddly colored eyes, which were an odd purple and black hue. And while the color scheme was certainly quirky, it still was an excellent match to the black-colored hair cascading down his neck and back.

However, while Xue Bai was certainly shocked at his new cute appearance, after a quick glance over, he lost interest. Now, the only thing he could think about was one phrase that he yelled out.

"FUCK AM I A GIRL?"

There is now a discord for this novel. However, be warned. It is rather bare bones. I suck at discord.
