in a mage world

Dark skies, no visible cloud's and countless Stars. A thick forest compounded with huge trees that were beyond description, the place should be quiet but that wish was thrown off the roof top by the sounds of crickets and other night life's. In this forest that seems to be void of humanity, in the middle of a certain lake, a boy slowly sat up while gritting his teeth from the pain emitting all through his body. He looked around him with a perplexed expression, seemingly trying to understand what happened to him, he stared at the water and was baffled by his reflection, he looked so.... different. Short blonde hair, blue eyes, small nose and thing lips, an almost round face, he looked so feminine, if it had been a picture, Max would have sworn that his new appearance belonged to a girl, he raised his hand to touch his face when he suddenly felt a sharp pain form his elbow, he looked down only to find a cut on his elbow, it wasn't wide but certainly deep, it probably should be called a stab instead. "why do I suddenly feel pain??" Max was puzzled,he tried to remember what happened that might have brought him here,all he could remember was trying a spirit grade herb to help him transcend to immortality,then after which his core erupted and.... "f**k!!,I died" Max cursed out loud when he remembered how he died trying to brake the last phase of cultivation. "then why am I still alive?did I reincarnate?that might probably be the most logical explanation for how I got here". Max was trying to remember More when he was suddenly assaulted by a really heart shattering pain in his head and his vision started to turn black before he passed out. after what seemed like some hours,max finally regained consciousness,he sat up in the lake which he still hadn't left before passing out earlier,his expression was stolen,he was conflicted, confused and amazed at the same time, although he was very unwilling to accept the fact that he had died just like that,the feeling of reincarnation quickly overshadowed his unwillingness. "earth,huh?so I reincarnated into earth?no wonder I feel so weak, people here don't cultivation,they focus more on science,I don't even know what to feel about it,it's almost like am starting from scratch only that am already the strongest here,after all,am the only the only one with knowledge of cultivation here"max muttered to himself. " even if I don't mean to,I just can't help thinking about it,and from the memory I got,the previous owner of this body is just a teenager in high school, just imagine living like a big boss in the midst of weaklings,a good definition of wolf in sheep's clothing but am not evil though. Well since time here is same as my home planet"max said as he gazed at the sky" I think it's already the third hour now(3:00am),but what was this weak boy doing out here at this time?a suicide expedition??" Max dove into the memories of his new body's previous owner,and according to what he could get,this kids name is Alex, he's a child of a relatively rich family. His dad is a CEO of a huge business empire while his mom is a medical advisor of a large hospital,Alex is the only child,for now,since his mom is pregnant,alex is currently sixteen years old and he's kind of intelligent,well average should be a better way to describe it,he has so many junior and senior girls crushing on him at school since he was rich and handsome, although he didn't show off, almost all the boys hated him and this often earned him sessions of bullying since he couldn't fight,to put it simple,Alex was a piece of meat in a lions cage. A few days ago,alex school organized a school trip to the wild,after setting camp,Alex was dragged off by the girls they could explore together. Alex was a shy type and also an introvert,so after getting all red from being teased by the girls,he finally managed to escape,he walked casually inside the forest so he could cool off a bit,but he encountered a king cobra which made the scared cat climb a tree only to fall to his death in this very lake because the snake followed him up the tree . "...." Max was speechless"was this Alex a fool or something??how could he climb a tree when being chased by a snake??"max facepalmed " my reputation here has already faced a huge breakdown before I could even start"Max was really baffled by Alex's stupidity,well there was nothing he could do now other than to build a new reputation for himself here, there was no use crying over spilled milk and he would also need to get used to being called Alex. "seriously,I don't want to change my name,but it's not like I can tell anyone that am a transmigrant from another universe, right?" Max stood up and observed himself" at least I get a good look as a bonus in exchange,I look eighteen when am only sixteen,but I shouldn't think much of it,am already over a thousand years old in my old world anyways". Max looked at his soaked uniform of silver colored top with a black tie and black pants, white socks and a black shoe,it should have been a good looking set but was currently looking miserable. "well it's understandable since I have been in that lake for good two day's plus all the falling from earlier"max walked out from the lake and tried to dry himself (by using his almost dried shirt since he has been sitting for a while now). while drying himself,he realized that his wounds were healing"wow!!so I can still use my magic Powers here??"max was estatic,come to think of it,he really didn't try it out after waking up,this was a really pleasant surprise to him. He then tried to view his surrounding with 'divine eyes',it was still quite dark so visibility was low,max activated the skill again but everything was still dark, meaning the skill failed to work.
