Unexpected Reincarnation

chapter 1 early reincarnation

When I opened my eyes I was in a foreign place that I knew nothing about. It seemed to be a fairly dense forest with towering tree trees and what surprised me the most was that I was in a child's body.

Not only was there a bruise all over my body that might have been caused by his fall, I could guess this body fell from the high cliff right behind me. Seen from the broken branches on the tree beside me.

Crazy is not this cliff is very high, it is not a mere presumption because this body is still small but rather its reality. How could he still be alive after falling that high, even though there were tree branches that reduced his fall but still this child should be dead.

Wait it seems like he really did die otherwise how could I possibly enter his body. Even so is it possible for someone to die with just a slight bruise on their body. And for what reason would I enter this child's body if it was thought that the real me was actually dead as well so that I could reincarnate into this child's body.

This place is also a little strange vaguely felt like a fantasy place like a medieval fantasy novel that I had read before it was reinforced by the clothes I was wearing now even though it had been torn here and there but it is still clear that it is a model of clothing worn by medieval people. The fabric is very bad uncomfortable to wear and sewn well but still the quality is very far from the modern world.

Now what? I don't know what to do, is it time to panic? No, calm down, panic will only make things worse.

First let's find a way out of this place at least I have to find the nearest settlement or at least find someone who can help me.

Rise up from my seat now I try to walk straight ahead with little hope. But over time I was tired of walking and now my stomach was starving. Especially now that I was in the body of a child both the strength and stamina I had was very limited. How can I get out of this place even after walking for hours all I see is a view of tall and dense tree trees. This forest is so big, should I turn around to where it was and try to climb that cliff.

That's just my stupid mind? The cliff was too high and steep to climb even by a professional let alone me who had no experience at all in the field.

Ahh anyone or anything that makes me reincarnate can at least I get something to help me survive. Whether I came back to life only to suffer like this was indeed the mistake of what I had done until I had to experience all this.

Any living thing if faced with a problem where they are unable to cope with it let alone no one who can be asked for help they will definitely feel the stress of despair or the worst of insanity. More or less that's my current situation.

Should I just kill myself, then I don't have to go through any of this. Even though it crossed my mind, I don't think I'd do it, why not? I don't have enough courage for that.

There must be a reason for all this and if I keep trying there should be a way out that's what I hear so often. I try to think positively and strengthen myself, I can.

That's what I thought but after walking for a few more hours I was again desperate, when I got in front of a tree I dropped myself to the ground because I no longer had the energy to walk. Especially now not only tired and hungry but now I am very thirsty due to walking continuously forcing myself a lot of sweat liquid that comes out of my body and if it continues like this I will only be dehydrated.

Now what am I supposed to do? Alone in a fantasy world.

Wait a minute, fantasy world'!? If this is a fantasy world that I think there shouldn't be magic. Realizing this I got excited again, first let's use water magic to eliminate my very disturbing thirst. I raised my hand and shouted 'water' like a dinovel. But with all the embarrassing things I just did nothing came up, it felt like I was a high school student with acute delusions.

'Please what I'm doing'

Even a fantasy dinovel you can't just use magic just because you want it, it takes a power called mana to do it and I don't seem to have it on my body. No, it doesn't seem like it's just me but maybe the world doesn't have it either. Over time my head got dizzy and slowly my consciousness faded and a puzzle-like memory emerged.

In the darkness he saw various memories belonging to a child.

He was born of a king and a servant without a formal marriage so he was called the illegitimate son.

From a young age he received poor treatment from his other half-brothers who considered him inferior because he was born with the blood of a servant. Even so he can still survive because there is his mother who is always there for him.

But when he was about five years old his mother died, he was very sad because the only person who cared about him was gone.

The ill-treatment he received was getting worse and when he was ten he was expelled from the palace and exiled to a remote area on the border.

However, there are still parties who are not satisfied with it and decide to plan a murder against him.

On the way he is attacked by a group of bandits but they are not real bandits but assassins hired by someone.

The guards who from the beginning were guarding him decided to run away because they thought he did not deserve to be protected with their lives.

When the assassins tried to kill him he was lucky enough to escape from them but it was only temporary that he was easily chased by them until somewhere when there was no place to run he decided to jump towards the ravine in front of him.

"Ugh What is this? "

I felt a wet sensation all over my body, and as I opened my eyes I saw the moans of quite heavy rain drenching my body. It seems like I just fainted and this rain helped wake me up but it's good that this lack of body fluids has been resolved.

And the memory just now, what is this body's memory?

Although the big tree near us now can be used as a place to shelter but what I really need now is a place where I can be completely protected from the rain like a house or at least a goa.

With the little energy I have now I try to run for shelter as I want but since this is a forest it seems like a cave is more likely to exist than a house. Who wants to live in a place like this.

After some time looking I saw a cave that was slightly covered by a bush, feeling this was the perfect place to take shelter without a second thought I went straight in. Even though it is no longer flushed by rain water, the coldness in my body is still very disturbing. Incidentally there are some dry twigs in the cave and there are also stones that I can use to ignite the fire.

The fire was burning and I could feel the warmth beginning to drive away the cold I was feeling.

'Not in vain did I watch that survival show'

Even though the rain outside grew heavier and the wind blew very hard like a rainstorm I was safe inside the cave with the warmth of the fire I just lit.

'Yeah now you can't touch me rain' I screamed loudly at this shitty rainstorm as if I was challenging it.

And I think because now I've saved my heart it feels peaceful, but shortly after that because the rainstorm caused a landslide at the entrance of the cave causing the entrance to be completely closed. The big smile that I felt a while ago completely disappeared as if it was just an illusion.

'K-why?'

I asked in desperation but no one was there to answer. I think the second chance I got was a blessing despite some difficulties but until now I have managed to overcome it.

To think that the goddess of luck smiled at me but it turned out to be actually the goddess of misfortune.

'Ah what a pretty short second life'

I smiled bitterly at myself. Whoever it was in my position would think so. How not, this entire cave is covered in stone it is impossible for me to come out let alone plus my current condition.

Walking round and round around the cave hoping there was a gap I could use to get out but it never existed, in the end I was exhausted and leaned against the wall of the cave. My hand accidentally touched a strange symbol covered in moss on the cave wall causing the wall of the cave I was looking at to collapse and reveal a dark hallway, it seems like the strange symbol I accidentally touched was the key to this secret passageway.

The hallway that I accidentally entered right now doesn't seem to be made naturally but is deliberately made for something, he said, visible from the bricks used for the walls of the hallway is not only there the crystal contained in the sky lit up illuminate along the way. Such a scene you can only see in an rpg-themed game when you enter a dungeon. Usually places like this have several traps installed in them to prevent intruders.

'Because this is reality there shouldn't be any traps to try to think positively.

Just as I made my first move a huge axe flashed right in front of me quickly and cut off a few strands of my hair. The axe is so big and shiny you can even use it as a sneeze. Looking at the condition of the axe it seems like I was the first one to enter this place.

'Damn it, which bastard did this'

I grit my teeth while spitting to the side. Is there a treasure or something in this place. How is this now? do I have to continue at risk or stay here and wait for death.

'It looks like I should go on with it so there's at least a chance to live even though it's very thin'

I strengthened my resolve to go further there were countless traps along the way

Starting from the fiery arrows, poisonous smoke to the floor collapsed where there was a very sharp spear inside. With all that my only opinion of the creator of this place is that he must be a crazy psychopath. Even so for some reason I managed to get to the end of the room as if I was destined for this, and in front of me right now there was a mysterious.

With all those terrible traps there should be a priceless treasure behind the door because otherwise I vowed to find the creator of this place and beat it to a pulp.

Then, wait, let's quickly open this door, but no matter how hard I push this door does not move a single cent. Does this door have a special key like when I found this place.

I guessed that I pressed all the symbols or anything I could push on the door but nothing worked.

Hah I can go crazy if it continues this way, then I just put my hand on the door and pull it slowly lightly as a result the door opens easily.

'What! So I just need to pull it'

Then why did I think so hard just now. I racked up all my brain fibers to figure out how to open this door but actually it could be opened easily by pulling it. I felt indignant yet I also could not blame others as scapegoats for my flaws. It's entirely my fault for never thinking there.

And what I saw behind that door....
