An otaku stumbles across a new obsession when he discovers Soul Land (Douluo Dalu), a Chinese Donghua that instantly captures his interest. By the final episode, he enjoys the story so much that he begins to imagine himself inside the world—fighting, growing, and roaming the continent alongside the Shrek Seven Devils.

Fate listens.

The next morning, he wakes up in a crib… face-to-face with someone familiar. Reborn into the Soul Land universe as the son of Tang Xiao and wielding twin martial souls, this is the story of Siegfried, the exiled successor of the Clear Sky Clan who rises to become a god.

Author’s Note:

This is an original Soul Land 1 fanfic (not a translation). I don’t own Soul Land or its characters—just the OC and the story around him. Expect a western style of writing with less Chinese cliches like face slapping and such.
Hope you enjoy the ride!

P.S: The MC has no knowledge about DD outside of DD1 and the Donghua at that, so he is not aware of Tang San's true character and other such things so there won't be much Tang San and Yu XiaoGang bashing here, but for anyone who doesn't like Tang San and his teacher, don't worry, you'll enjoy what happens later.

Oh also, the cover pic is not mine, I found it on pinterest

[This chapter contains major spoilers for characters, backstory, and the direction of the plot. Read only if you're fine with early reveals and want more context before diving in.]


Father: Tang Xiao (Sect Master of the Clear Sky Clan, brother of Tang Hao, also known as the Howling Sky Douluo)


Mother: Yang Tínglěi (Daughter of Yang Wudi, wife of Tang Xiao)


Clear Sky Halberd (Mutated version of the Clear Sky Hammer)


Evil Dragon Fafnir (A unique martial soul carried over from his past life)


Additional info will be added later — such as cultivation stages, soul ring ages and abilities, relationships, and other key progress details.


This chapter will likely be removed once the story hits around Chapter 20. I'm putting it here instead of in the "Author's Thoughts" so people don't skip it.


This is my first fanfic, and honestly, I'm both nervous and excited to finally share it. I've been a fan of Soul Land for years, and I always had so many ideas about it but I always thought I wasn't capable enough to turn them into a story but here I am.


This story is also lightly inspired by the Fate series, so if you notice some familiar elements, then yes—that was intentional.


Track his progress (martial souls, soul rings, etc.)


Act as a place for reader discussion and feedback


If you have questions, notice any plot inconsistencies, or want to share ideas or suggestions, comment on this chapter! I'll try to read every comment and reply where I can.


If we reach 50 chapters and the story has an active reader base, I'll open a Discord server for deeper story discussion, spoiler talk, theorycrafting, and more.


If not, I'll consider the fic a small personal journey and may end it there. That depends on you guys.


Thanks for checking this chapter out. I hope you enjoy the journey ahead—and that Siegfried's story gives you something new and entertaining in the Soul Land universe.
