Elias Quinn is a misfit.
He grew up in an orphanage, surrounded by people, yet his world seemed to only consist of himself.
From a young age, Elias knew he was different from others.
The world he saw was also different from everyone else’s.
The first time he encountered a computer, it was as if he had unlocked another world.
This world was complicated and dull, yet he was deeply immersed in it.
As he grew older and studied more, the world suddenly labeled him as a genius.
Elias didn’t care about those things; he only wanted to explore.
Until the age of forty, he felt he had finally uncovered the truth of this world.
He probed at the edge; outsiders said he was possessed, but only he knew he had touched the source of the world—
the Otherworld Heavens.
By relying on the power of the Heavenly Dao, he created what is known as a system.
For him, it was a breakthrough.
But it was merely a breakthrough.
All challenges, once successfully conquered, seldom stirred the emotions of the challenger again.
Elias was particularly like that.
So, he refocused on the problem given to him by the Otherworld Heavens—
finding a way for the two worlds to overlap.
Elias did not care whether the worlds overlapped; he never held attachment to the world. He cared only for challenges.
Thus, at the age of forty-four, the computer genius Elias from the Otherworld died.
And at the same time, in another world, another Elias was born.
Perhaps his calculations were off, as he was reborn into the body of a male infant who was supposed to be dead.
For the first time, he felt the tears of relatives.
A woman who had just given birth wailed in pain, holding the dead infant in her arms.
The man next to her, although not as emotionally agitated as the woman, squatted on the ground sobbing silently.
Until someone nearby let out a gasp.
For the first time, Elias faced those reddened, tear-Blurred eyes, feeling his emotions being stirred in a way he had never experienced before.
But now, reborn in this small body, he seemed to touch a bit of so-called human emotion.
Elias was very curious, so he decided to try to deeply experience it within this body.
...
The Quinn Family was just an ordinary family.
With very ordinary parents and a very ordinary family background, they worried daily about basic needs like food and oil.
Though Elias was the "lost and found" child, his "parents" were not particularly cautious with him.
When he deliberately scattered food everywhere, his bottom would get smacked.
Because his soul was not compatible with the body, causing nighttime cries, his exhausted mother occasionally showed him an impatient expression.
Eventually, they had a new child, and their attention naturally shifted away from him.
Elias did not feel lost because of this.
For those years, he considered himself an observer, watching the people in the family.
Compared to those passionate and warm families on TV, his family seemed very ordinary, with everyone being reserved and common, not skilled at speaking or uttering love lightly.
After arguments and cold wars, making a dish the other liked and placing it in front of them counted as a silent reconciliation.
They would complain about small things, cry and throw tantrums because parents did not understand them.
In that family, Elias seemed to slowly become like an ordinary person.
He would learn to express worries, cry, and laugh.

But he didn’t want to return to them either; he wasn’t originally someone who would be attached to the so-called family.
