Reincarnation of the Human Swordsman

Pain ….

My whole body was in pain, unable to move. Is this what we call the afterlife? I'm not sure. Where am I?

I slowly opened my eyes, finding myself next to the trash. I lay there, watching around. It's a dead end between two big buildings.

I tried to stand up, but my leg seemed to break to the point of making me unable to walk. The pain and condition of this body .. Am I not in the afterlife, but my soul is exchanging with the soul of this little child? How did this happen?

“Luo Xiao, where are you?” The voice was slowly approaching, but I was not sure that the call was being shown to me. “There it turns out.”

A thin-bodied grandmother with long white hair immediately ran towards me. He immediately hugged my body tightly which was in great pain, saying, “Thank God you're still alive. Thank goodness ...”

Really, I don't understand what's really going on. However, one thing is certain that this white-haired grandmother loves the child whose body is now mine.

***

The rickety, shabby house, the dirty clothes and the bed that had rung were the places where I lay, wrapped in dirty cloths to stop the blood from coming out of my wounds. This is much different compared to the palace and throne I used to sit on. All this forced me to start over again, when I was not yet the King of the Land.

Could it be that the gods are testing me, until I finally occupy the highest throne in the world again? If so, then it is a pity that I no longer have the ambition to become the King of the Mainland as I once did. I was already satisfied with my old life, so there was no reason for me to repeat it again.

“Luo Xiao, are you awake?” The white-haired granny sat on my bed, starting to feed me with the flavorless porridge she cooked. “Eat so that you quickly improve, Luo Xiao.”

I just nodded and ate the gourd that had been prepared by him. Although this porridge is bland, I still enjoy it because I feel very hungry.

Even though I have no desire to reach the top of the world anymore, I will also not be silent and let my life be like this. Especially, when there was a grandmother who was very good at taking care of me. At least, I should make her feel a decent life while she's still alive.

“Good boy, you managed to finish it, Luo Xiao,” said the grandmother who then left immediately after stroking my head slowly.

Speaking of which, it seems that Luo Xiao is the name of the child whose body I have now taken over. Is this a coincidence or a hint from the gods? I hope it's just a coincidence, I don't want to deal with them anymore.

Shaking my head a few times, I thought of something. “How can I use it now?”

I immediately took a deep breath, emptying my mind, slowly feeling every cell in my body. Although it was faint, I managed to feel it flowing all over the body! I feel Chi! And it was a very powerful Golden Chi, stronger than my Chi in my heyday. Again, is this just a coincidence?

***

A month passed, thanks to the rare Golden Chi that was flowing through my body, all the wounds, including the broken bones, had already healed completely. I can move normally without any difficulty. Not only that, I can now run very fast, until I managed to master some of my basic moves.

Then, one day, this boy was eager to give his grandmother a fresh apple. Despite not having any experience, he forced himself to steal, but unfortunately he got caught.

Caught stealing, this poor boy was judged unilaterally by the citizens. He was tortured to death, then dumped in the trash. It was there that his life was lost and my soul entered his body.

This unfortunate fate, far worse than when I used to climb to the top of my glory. I did not come from a rich family, but also could not be said to be poor. Then, with determination as well as all the resources available, I crawled until I finally gained great strength.

Shake your head a few times, then breathe out a long breath. On this bright and fresh morning, I already had plans to do something, certainly to make the white haired granny happy. Just tell him this in return for a little bit from me.

“Grandmother, I will go outside for a while,” I said when walking out.

“Be careful ...,” says the grandmother.

Not saying anything more, I immediately left for jungle—even though this grandmother's house was in the middle of the forest. But, the point is I went into the forest to hunt. I was hoping to get a boar this morning.

A few minutes away, I saw no signs or traces of the animal I was looking for. Though this forest is famous for the many animals that like to roam. In fact, it is not surprising to see some hunters enter the forest until they arrive at the grandmother's house, or now it can also be called my home.

“Hm .. do I still have the aura of the Mainland King so that not a single wild boar dares to approach?” I thought for a moment, then took a deep breath. “I'm not sure ...”

Before I became moody, suddenly a voice I recognized sounded. I immediately turned around, and sure enough, there was a wild boar that was running so fast towards me. Of course I don't know the purpose, but even though he was intending to bump into me, I just needed to shift a bit.

Just as I was thinking, a wild boar could not turn and immediately hit a large tree in front of him.

Dear Pig Forest, running fast is good, but you also have to learn to turn so as not to bablas. So much and thank you back. Ahaha!

“You won't be able to run again, my beloved lunch!” I immediately raised my right hand, drained Chi and prepared to slash this boar from above. However, that intention instantly dissipated when I heard the cry of the person behind me.

“That's it!”

An arrow shot, directly through the belly of the boar, until the pig screamed, then moved without direction. However, the arrow attack did not get there, but there were two more arrows stuck in his body, making the animal unable to move anymore.

“Who are the good people who want to help catch my lunch?” I'm a little surprised. “But, thank you good man. Because of you, I don't need to use my Chi.” After that I lowered my right hand.
