Volume One:

Prologue

TO THE NEW LIFE!

"When I said an exciting life, I did not mean that I want to live in an edge of life and death!" I yelled as I run away from the chasing horde of creatures.

You're probably wondering what I am doing here. To shed some light regarding my situation, let me begin my story from the very beginning.

I was born in a poor family. By tradition the last born should always be the pampered one and I was lucky enough to be born the youngest of the four children.

Sadly that didn't happen.

All the ragged and sworn stuff all my brother and sisters had was passed down to me. Of course in a young age I didn't know that information, back then I was happy as I can be having toys and stuff.

Now let's talk about my childhood. By the time I was seven my oldest brother already left with his first woman. That right I said first. You see my brother had a LOT of women in his young age. The second oldest sibling was in college, while my other sister was in elementary. Because of the discrepancy in our age I was mostly felt alone at home.

If you're going to ask where is my parents, I'm getting there.

Father was a taxi cab driver in a city. By the way we currently live in a very secluded land owned by my uncle who was kind enough to let us build a life here, we sorta acted as the guardians of the land.

Back to the story, you see this land was so large that there was a dense forest of Mango trees with many other fruit bearing trees surrounding us. Which was great, all year long we have supply of a wide variety of fresh fruit and vegetables.

Anyways since both my sisters are studying money is greatly needed, especially for my elder sister's tuition. Thus father must work to gain the much needed money. Mom on the other hand was no slack, because of the availability of resources in our backyard she often went to the market and sells them.

Because of our living condition was not favorable, our rich and when I say rich I mean REALLY RICH Aunts stepped in. They persuaded us to move into another province for a life which I am thankful for.

They gave my parents opportunity to start their own business which bloomed into a successful one. And so our poor family was upgraded in a mediocre one.

When I was in elementary, I was the fat 'feeling rich' kid who got so many friends. Later in my high school life I realized they weren't really my friends, they should be called leeches.

I really don't want to bore you in my sad and pathetic high school life so let's just say that I had the most boring and uninterested life. I was the combination of emo, fat and alone kid, jealous and hateful in everyone.

Fast forward in my college days I was still the same emo fat and alone kid but now staying in a dormitory full of men.

Why dormitory you ask?

Well the school was far away from home and this school was the only school in the country that specializes in teaching.

So see I decided to study to be a teacher, I was greatly inspired by my high school science teacher and I said to myself I want to be just like her… except having the boobs and all… well maybe the boobs.

And so the traumatizing as a college student began. To those who are reading this and not yet gone to college. Let me tell you something about it.

Awful.

Stressful.

Tiresome.

All in all it's the representation of HELL.

I don't really know how I managed but I successfully graduated as a teacher in that god forsaken university.

Sadly upon graduation and passing the bar exam I had difficulty in getting a job. I never realized that there was a surplus in teachers.

I was unemployed for many years… which was awful. All of my siblings have their respective jobs and I was at home living from their salary. Being unable to support yourself sucks.

As 'a mouth to feed' my siblings coined I decided to do most of chores so I can be more useful to them.

At the moment I am riding a bus. Today I went into a job fair hosted by the city government. I was tired and hungry from all the interviews I had which when awful.

I forgot all of the resumes which I prepared the night before because I woke up late because my stupid alarm didn't activate. When I realized that I forgot them I was already in the job fair. What's worse is there was no internet café for miles.

I spent half a day in remaking my resume and costing me all the money I had. Tired and hungry I tried to navigate at the job fair for jobs that matches my education which was a complete bust and so I have to settle for something else.

At the end of the day, I managed to apply for atleast five for that's all I could print with the money I had. And now I am staring at the night sky hoping that my interviews went well.

"Will I get a job?" I murmured to the night.

What follow was a roaring thunder then heavy rain.

'ha….' I sigh.

It was funny when I look at my situation. All my siblings didn't finished their college studies and have great jobs but I who had finished college can't get a decent job.

Finally when the bus stops in our area, I had no choice but to walk against the torrential rain. I was thankful that I don't have anything that won't be damage by the rain.

And so I was walking in our subdivision, I took the comfort of the rain. Times like this I can't help myself feel miserable and pathetic. I never had luck. Times like this I can't help entertain the idea of dying, ending my miserable existence.

I stopped and sat next to a flickering lamppost.

Over the years I develop a serious case of depression and my family has no idea that I had one. I kept it as a secret as well as my medication.

'It has been a long time since I took one. Huh'

With one last heavy sigh as I stand up. What I didn't notice was a motorcycle that stopped a bit far from my location. It was because of the heavy rain lowers visibility.

Before I could even ask them who and what he/she needs I felt a sudden pain. It was the most painful thing I ever experience forcing me to collapse on my knees. I could my breathing becomes harder.

When I track to find where is the pain radiating from, I found out that it was in my chest. I had a small hole in my chest.

'A wound? Why was I wounded? '

Suddenly breathing became harder, it felt like drowning. I began clawing my neck trying to find what is causing it. And then I felt my body began to convulse, my vision fading.

In my line of sight the figure from the motorcycle approached. He was trying to say something but I was having a hard time understanding him.

"… wrong guy."

The mysterious figure then raised his left hand which seemed to be holding a gun. He then points it in my head.

'I'm going to die.'

I tried to speak. I don't what to die here, that I'll do anything just to spare me but because of the in clogging my throat and it came out like chocking sound.

He chuckled.

*BANG!

That was the last sound and sight I ever saw.

\_( =w=)b d(=w= )_/

'Comfortable.'

'So comfortable.'

I could not determine whether my eyes are open or not for the place where I am in was completely dark. There was no light, no sound and I alone exist in this place. I tried moving but the darkness seems to cling at me preventing me to do so.

At first I felt fear and when I finally settled down it felt comfortable. The darkness was overwhelmingly comfortable.

I never completely understood why I am here or how I came here nor who am I? I didn't even know how long I was here. All I care of was comfortable and that's all that matters at the moment.

Between instant and eternity of time had passed a blinding light appeared in front of me. The light was so bright it's very hard to look straight at it.

"Child, can you hear me?"

"Ye-yeah I can. Who are you?"

"It is not important who am I but what's more important is, who are you?"

That question made me wonder.

Ever since I came conscious I never bothered with those questions. Why does it bring up so many negative feelings?

"I-i-I don't know. Sho-should I be worried?"

"No it should not worry you but would you like to know who you are?"

That question made him wonder if he should.

"Do I need to know?"

"Everything will be left for you to decide."

When it asked me before it arose negative feelings from within that I do not understand. What should I do? Should I face those uncertainties? My mind became filled questions I cannot answer, leaving me feeling disoriented.

"I want to know who I am."

"Very well."

The light began to extend towards me as it does. When the hand made out of light touch my forehead, I remembered everything.

My boring unsuccessful loveless life was ended by someone.

"Do you remember now?"

I nodded. After an eternity I asked.

"What now?"

"Now I'll give you a choice."

"A choice?"

"That's right."

"Can I know them?"

"Do you wish to stay in my womb or start a new?"

"Can I stay here?"

"If that what's you wish then you can. But are you sure you want to stay?"

"I..i… don't want to go back in that world."

"Then where do you want to go."

"Eh?"

The light chuckled. "I can send to any world you wish."

"You mean there are other worlds?"

"Correct."

I thought of how awful my life before I answered.

"I wish to live a life of excitement, an adventurous life where I can go anywhere and be the I could be."

"Are you sure that is what you want?"

"Yes please."

"Then go forth."

The light barely touched my chest yet it felt like I was pushed by an enormous amount of strength combined with a burst of light.

\_( =w=)b d(=w= )_/

[Awaken].

Upon hearing that voice my eyes opened and I met by the blinding sunlight.

At first my body felt so lethargic. Every time I tried to move my limbs unimaginable pain shot through my body and so I was forced to wait until I could freely move.

Not that I am complaining, my limited view was magnificent. It reminds me of the comfort of the forest back when I was a child.

Wait a minute.

My childhood memories, I still have them. Shouldn't I have lost them in the process? As far as I know, the process of reincarnation should have removed my previous life's memory and here I am having mine intact granted that some of my memories are hazy due to memory decay.

Moments after my realization, I went back to staring at the sky.

For quite I time I remained paralyze. The gentle breeze plus the warmth of the sun lulled me back to sleep. After all nothing a good sleep could fix.

I did not know how much time had passed but when I woke up I was able to yawn and stretch my body. If I base time for the position of the sun it might be late in the afternoon.

What's interesting about my situation is, I am wearing an old time cream shirt and dark brown pants with light brown worn boots. Completely different from what I was wearing before I died. Also i also notice the chance in my hands, it was a lot healthier and younger than before.

*GROWL

'Crap! I'm hungry.'

I'm lucky enough that I am in the forest. But before I could even take I step I remembered that the light told me it will take me to a different world. It never said that I'll give me another life if die.

Looking around and seeing nothing life threating, I began to walk towards the entrance of the forest.

But before I could even take a step further a voice spoke from my head.

'Warning you are leaving [Divine Sanctuary].'

'Hello?'

'Unable to respond properly.'

Huh!? So I need to ask properly.

'Define [Divine Sanctuary].'

'[Divine Sanctuary] an area of effect spell created to ward all creatures from entering.'

'Do you any other information to share?'

'All other information could be access by saying [Status].'

When I was about to ask another question, I felt our connection was severed cutting me from my chance of asking more question. This was probably because of the question I asked.

"Status?"

A small window appeared visible only to my eyes.

I was shocked but mostly hurt from what I read.

*GROWL.

Crap I still need to eat which meant I will leave this safe zone.

*GROWL.

Sheesh I get it. I'll go find something to eat.

Once I left the clearing, I heard the sound of breaking glass. When I turned around the spell in the area was removed. I guess that is what's its warning me about.

And so I pushed on…

Three hours later.

I have been walking around this forest for a while and I never found anything edible. Because of fatigue and hunger I collapse in a nearby tree, trying to catch my breath.

"Damn it! This sucks."

"Haaa…. Ha…. Ha… There's no food in this place."

I heard the bush rustle, thinking that might be a rabbit or sort I quickly approach the bush. Once I felt that I could catch, I pounced and collided with soothing much larger.

For the moment I felt disoriented.

When I regain my vision what I saw was the color green. The shade of green did not match the bush or the grass, it looks like a wet dark greenish color with small dots scattered around. As I began to inspect it further its texture was more of a skin.

I began to roam my gaze to the owner of the skin. What I saw was a terrifying owner.

It was small and ugly that seems to be barely standing three feet tall. They have scrawny and hairless body with twisted face, flat nose and beady red eyes.

As a normal person seeing something new and weird, I could only stare in mutely at it. Surprisingly it also stared back but I managed to recover faster than I am.

The creature quickly wrestles itself out of my hold and manages to push me on the process.

"There is a human here." It shouted which surprised me that it can talk.

When I looked at the direction it shouted I saw multiple creatures similar to this one were quickly approaching. There are also creatures greatly towering those smaller creatures. Their appearance looks more of a shaved gorilla with warty brown skins and a great deal of muscle mass and jutting jaws with protruding teeth.

Sensing great danger approaching, I ran as fast as I could.

"He's running away, chase him."

Now that you caught up with my life but those creatures running after me are slowly catching up. You'd be surprise how hard is it to tell a story while running for your life.

I could feel my body reaching its limit although I am quite surprise how long I managed to run. I am very thankful in this body, if I have retained my previous body I collapse from running a minute long run.

As my breathing becomes deeper and my vision blurs, my speed steadily slows down, ultimately stopping. My knees finally gave up in exhaustion, I collapse in sheer tiredness. I could hear those creatures roar of appreciation coming closer and closer.

'I guess this is my end.'

[Mission Complete: 1kilometer dash.]

[Mission Reward: +1 Agility]

I chuckled.

'That's going to be useless in my situation. After all what is the good of increase in agility if you can't move.'

I closed my eyes to shield myself for my incoming death. I am praying that it will come swift.

"He's just laying there."

"Is he giving up?"

'Ain't it obvious?'

"Aww… I want to chase him more a bit."

'I wanted to run more as well sadly this body had enough.'

"Eat… hungry…"

'Yeah buddy I feel you.'

"Should we cook him up, alive?"

'Please spare me the suffering.'

"Eat... him… like… this..."

'Aw… come on.'

Wind blew over all of us, as it passed over me I felt fear. I was overwhelmed it paralyzed my whole body. Those creatures who were chasing me felt the same. I could hear them panicking and wanting to run but they were paralyzed as I was.

Their commotion became louder and louder, then what follows is silence. I wanted to open my eyes to see what is causing all this but couldn't.

Then I heard a distinct sound.

It was a clopping sound. I desperately rack my head to find what makes that kind of noise.

'A horse?'

Once again silence.

I wonder what is going on.

"HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

That booming roar which seems to be its battle roar, what follows was a chorus of despair. The sound of cutting, something being splat, crushing and cries for mercy, I felt sorry those creatures.

After what seemingly an eternity, silence descents.

'Oh god I'm next.'

And so I waited.

Waited more.

'Huh?'

Oh I am able to open my eyes. I could not help to cringe to how gory the beautiful forest became. Its adorable shade of green now streaked with tides of blood, chunks of flesh and limbs. There was no traceable existence of those creatures.

When I finally noticed the looming shadow from my back, I slowly turned I saw it.

It standing 15 feet tall half of its lower body was similar to a horse and its upper body is close to a humanoid figure. It was also holding a voulge spear. The creature's body and weapon looks like it was made from bark, stone and fresh leaves.

"Are you gonna kill me as well?"

It continued stared at me.

"Can I leave?"

The creature slowly turned away from me and began running into the forest. I was hoping to see it will trample all those trees but it simply passed thru like a ghost.

When I finally believe it truly left. I was about to walk the same direction I came but I remembered that's where I encountered those other creatures and so I decided to follow its direction.

Before I could even take a step further, I noticed a shining green light a bit far from my position. Upon closer inspection it was a shining green leaf and it is the same kind as the creature has.

'I'll treasure this one.'

Then I set forth, wondering what will come.

'Hey! This life isn't that bad.' I thought.
