Chapter 2 Reincarnation
1017 Words
"Is this what it feels like after death, "said Ah-ee. Strange, everything is dark but I can feel my body moving and I can also hear my rough breathing.
'How is that possible? I should be dead, shouldn't I? I definitely got shot and died due to excessive loss of blood,' she thought.
Don't tell me ,di...did I reincarnate or something. No that sounds so absurd that can't be , right!
I pinched my hand and the pain was real which means I am alive! I was overjoyed. But just to be certain I should try walking and see for myself if it was all truly real.
.
"Ahah,"she exclaimed. I can walk. I CAN WALK! Yooouuhuuu ! I'm freaking alive I was so happy that I almost tripped.
" Now that I think about it feels like my arms seems small and so are my legs .That means I've reincarnated into the body of a kid." exclaimed Ah-ee.
Suddenly I felt like my skull had been pierced with something and some of the memories of the previous host began pouring into my mind. It Iasted for a few seconds only.
"So this body's name is Eva, I'm approximately ten years old or older. Well the other me did not know as she was raised in an orphanage and ran away to the streets due to being mistreated and to think that's all I remember right now."
'I should try to see if there are any other memories later', she thought.
But first I should probably try to find light first ;it's too dark here. And I HATE dark places of all things, I should later find out how I ended here and how the other me died. After that I'll think of what to do next.
" Ummm ,there seems to be some light over there." said she. I walked for quite a while and I finally managed to reach the light.
It seemed the light came from that street lamp. Now that I'm closer to the lamp ,I can see houses in a distance . I walked on the streets and I was quite astonished as it was so beautiful. A beauty scenery that I haven't seen in my previous life.
There were street vendors that sold accessories , fruits ,skewers and all sorts of things .The bread and skewers and other foods gave off a very a nice and delicious fragrance.
" Grrrrgh ,"grumbled my belly. I'm so hungry. I don't think they will give me anything since I'm wearing ragged clothes and I'm currently penniless.
'Hahh what do I do ?Should I beg ?No it hurts my pride to do that .Maybe I should steal even if there is a chance I'll get beaten blue and black as that is how it works in this world as well. If you don't have money you get beaten and belittled.'
Then it's decided. I went near one of the street vendor. An old guy was selling fruits and there were many people buying them since they looked fresh and juicy.
Since it crowded, I took advantage of the moment he was talking to his clients and stole two apples then I turned around and ran with all my might.
I didn't get caught. Thank goodness.
I walked in an alley way and started eating like a beast that haven't eaten in days.
A few moments later. Another surge of pain invaded my mind and countless information began pouring inside my mind.
It was too much for me to handle so I began to digest the details one by one. So I'm in the Halvenkia Empire. It's the most powerful empire that conquered three forth of the Yyadrisil continent.
And the city I'm in is in the southern part of the empire, the Ludiquech territory, a small territory that belongs to a him as he received this reward from the duke and the city lord' s a count and he is a crazy bastard. I don't have parents.
I guess I'm an orphan in this life huh, how sad. But since God gave me a second chance, I won't let it go to waste.
I looked at the other memories. I see so the previous me was beaten to death in that dark room by that old fart who owns an inn .
That bastard he killed me instead of pitying me .Well what can I do, there are always bad people wherever we are and considering the fact that he may be a higher class commoner, it would be no wonder he's cruel towards a lowly beggar like me.
I should find a place to sleep; maybe that tree would do. I walked near the gigantic tree. It looked like the Jerusalem Thorn back on earth. When I was about to climbed on the tree and slept well without being disturbed by others.
Four months has passed since I've come to this new, otherworldly world. Life's been hard but I have been doing well compare to the previous owner.
I've been stealing so that I can feed myself as there is no other way than this. And I have been learning of the ways of the streets, living my not so cool life.

It was like any other day in the evening when I went to climb on the tree to sleep. It was very peaceful but I noticed two tall boys that looked like they were 15 or older were approaching me with their smug faces.
" Well , well ,well look what we have here John ,"the brunette haired guy said to the other guy beside him," Isn't this the little b***h that we trashed. She is still alive I see!"
"You're right big brother Fred" , he said as he glared at me, "You should have been dead you little s**t. How did you escape from the clutch of our dad."
Ahh, I remember them, they used to bully me and they may also be the ones who are somewhat related of the death of the previous owner of this body.
