Chapter 4 - Useless Innate Skill

The mansion wasn't as big as castles or company buildings that he knew of, but it was grand in its own way, almost close to those cultivation pavilions he read about in novels.

However, as he was marvelling over the mansion, he failed to notice that a living volcano was about to erupt behind him.

"Shen, you senseless little brother, is this how you treat your sister after she was sickly worried about your health and thought you were dead?" Sara bellowed with rage back in his room," I was even getting ready to go and murder whoever touched you!"

"Huuh?" Shen suddenly heard the yelling behind him, it subconsciously gave him chills all over his body as he rubbed his arms,' This body reaction reminds me of...'

With that thought, he looked back and saw the maid he just instructed about his room storming his way,' Are maids in this world so fierce and have no respect for their young masters?'

As he recalled the innocent-looking maid he met the first met he reincarnated into this world, and the contrast look on this older-looking maid, he felt that he truly should read as fast possible and get knowledge about this world.

"What is it maid, I don't have much time to waste here as important things are waiting for me," Shen was being honest since he was impatient to go and meet his parents and ask a lot of questions about his identity and other stuff.

As for whether they suspected him of being a different person or not? That thought never crossed his mind.

How would someone who has lost his memory still keep the same personality? It was even a miracle that their 'son' survived after hitting his head like that, much less keep his memory and personality intact.

Laughable...

The word 'maid' echoed in Sara's ears like a drum that is played over and over again that making her dizzy from how intense it is.

"Your whole family is maids, your entire bloodline is maids. I'm your older sister, you idiot, your sister!" Sara cursed as she pointed her finger at Shen," No, what I'm done with you, you're coming with me."

Shen was speechless as he looked at the embarrassing display this girl was going through just for the word maid.' My sister, huh, what a spoiled brat.'

As she was about to grab his left ear with her right hand and teach him a lesson, Shen caught her wrist and coldly said," Can you not do that, please? I don't like people touching me."

Sara was about to shake off his grip, laugh it off, and remind him who was stronger, when her eyes met his.

At that instant, she froze.

It felt like something cruel and cold surged through the air.

Her heart skipped a beat as her knees went soft and shaky.

Thud.

In the next second, she collapsed, her eyes wide and unfocused, like her soul had been yanked into a darker place. Her body trembled, and for a moment, she didn't even seem awake, just staring into nothing, gripped by a fear she didn't understand.

Seeing this scene, Shen's eyes lit up with delight as he let his sister's arm go and went to the big mansion that was his destination before he was cut off midway.

'My innate skill gained through the sheer killing I did in my first life after their shameless betrayal actually worked here?' With that thought, only one explanation popped into his mind at this moment.

'Mana surely exists in this world, or else it would have never worked like my past life.' Shen knew that although his grandfather had faint particles of elements around him, he knew that his world was devoid of any, but he didn't dare utter any of that information in fear of getting called a madman.

As for the current situation, he had tried doing it in his past life on several occasions, but it never worked despite his relentless attempts.

This confirms!

As of now, he actually had no hope and thought he was transported into a medieval era and was even awaiting his next reincarnation at that point, but what gave him hope of trying it out was the medicine that cured his injury in a single night.

'Still, I should be careful with weak-willed people next time around,' Yone thought as he recalled the sight of his sister collapsing to the ground. He wasn't worried about her safety since he knew it wasn't dangerous, but it would still raise unnecessary problems for him if he did it more often.

Plus, this innate skill of his was, in fact, useless against strong people; it only worked against regular humans who were weak-willed. It was what people called a useless skill...

As for how it transported over with him through two worlds? Shen didn't need to think about it since he knew that was part of him, which is why it is called an Innate skill in the first place.

'I suddenly feel much more energized and can feel my legs walk even faster than before,' Shen giggled crazily as he walked faster towards the mansion, and after several minutes, finally reached it.

Huff...Huff...

"Young master, are you..." The guard stationed outside was about to stand up from his comfortable chair and give a hand when Shen waved his hands as he grabbed his knee with his left hand, trying his best to catch his breath.

'Bloody hell, just walking made me gasp for a breath of air, so what would have happened if I had run a bit? Will I just die?' Shen cursed as a bitter feeling crept inside him.' This body is too useless, how can someone be so damn weak.'

After several seconds of catching his breath, Shen finally regained his composure, tidied his clothes, strengthened his back, and cupped his fists at the guard outside of the mansion with a slight bow of his head.

"I'm here to meet Father. May you inform him of my arrival, kind sir?"

Seeing how the lastborn of the Lantern family cupping his fists like the cultivation novels he used to in his younger days, the guard almost burst out laughing before holding it inside,' The young master had lost his mind after losing his memory, and here, when the family thought his situation couldn't get any worse.'

Reaching his final thoughts, the guard couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing, his body tilting backwards, and the chair crashed onto the wall as his skull met the wall head-on and crashed into it.

Shen narrowed his eyes, seeing this scene, his body uncontrollably shuddering with excitement,' This world, I already love ittt!'
