Background / History

Dai Wei was a man from Earth reborn as David in Wushan Town, in the Coiling Dragon World. He was the son of mercenaries Allen and Elena, who died in the Magical Beast Mountain Range when he was seven. Their estate and two thousand gold coins supported him after their deaths, while Elton—Allen's former classmate and the Baruch Clan guard captain—protected him during his childhood. 178 180

David chose to pursue magic alongside warrior training. At the Fenlai City enrollment test, he displayed super-grade affinities for Earth and Fire, high-grade Water affinity, and spiritual energy sixty-eight times stronger than his peers. Ernst Institute accepted him, and the Baruch Clan sponsored his studies. 180

At Ernst, David maintained a demanding routine of elemental classes, warrior training, and nightly meditation. His talent made his early rise exceptionally fast, but he also sought to strengthen his foundation through practical experience, art, and solitary cultivation. 181 196

Appearance

David is capable of changing his presentation to avoid attention, including altering his face and cutting his hair short before entering the Magical Beast Mountain Range. 184

• His skin remained unusually smooth after prolonged Water Element cultivation. 188
• During wilderness cultivation, his clothing deteriorated to magical-beast-hide shorts and he often trained barefoot to sense the earth more clearly. 187
• His Earth Divine Clone is typically associated with earthy-yellow divine power and Gravity Space. 251

Personality

David is ambitious, pragmatic, and intensely committed to cultivation. Rebirth gave him a deliberate outlook: he planned to develop both magic and Battle Qi rather than rely on a single path. His willingness to re-learn basic movements after identifying flaws in his combat foundation reflects his patience and self-criticism. 178 187

He generally avoids unnecessary attention despite his talent, preferring solitude and low-key self-improvement. However, he is confident when facing powerful opponents and actively seeks sparring partners or dangerous environments to test himself. 183 198 236

His conduct is situational. He protects inexperienced warriors and keeps promises to the Baruch Clan, but in the Netherworld he readily kills hostile bandits and rivals, accepting its survival-of-the-fittest order. 188 194 223 224

David also values mortal pleasures—food, wine, art, and companionship—as a way to retain his humanity despite becoming a god. 183 233 270
