1 Chapter 1

Filiph was a merchant, who was on his way back to his city accompanied by a group of hired mercenaries, because as a novice merchant he had to sell his products in villages far from the cities, these places were located in impassable roads for that reason he had to go personally, to ensure the merchandise and its proper sale.

Since these towns were far from the cities, the roads leading to them were not insured, on the way they could run into monsters or wild animals, for such reasons led him to hire a group of mercenaries, he would have liked better to hire a group of magicians, but to save his money was enough with these mercenaries.

In his sales he had done quite well, in other occasions he had some products left over, but this time he even lacked them, they had sold like hot cakes and this made his trip a happy one.

Being in his carriage he had such thoughts in his mind, although he would prefer to be resting on his return trip it was not possible, the carriage he was riding was not so comfortable to allow him that pleasure, this carriage had its history, at the beginning of his beginnings as a merchant he dreamed of a luxury carriage, but these same dreams were shattered to observe their prices and had to settle for this, this carriage was enough for now being a novice trader.

But he had not given up completely to the dream of buying a carriage much better than this one, in order to fulfill it he had saved and making his calculations in one more year he was going to achieve it.

Dreaming of such a moment always brought a smile from ear to ear to his face.

Suddenly, from one moment to the next, the carriage stopped abruptly.

Similar situations had occurred on the way, mostly due to monsters that were obstructing the passage, Filiph did not worry about these cases, the strange thing was that he did not hear the battle in progress.

He could not resist any longer the curiosity so he went out to observe what happened, he carefully observed all the landscape around him in search of monsters or any danger, but he found nothing, of all the landscape he had in sight only the hired mercenaries stood out.

There were 5 mercenaries in total and all of them gathered in one place, watching something on the ground while they surrounded him.

Filiph seeing this called out to them, asking:

-But what has happened, what are they all doing there.

The leader of the mercenaries, hearing him and realizing his mistake, tried to explain:

-Mr. Filiph, we have come across something very unusual and we don't know what to do, please see it and then decide what to do.

Filiph intrigued with this "something" walked directly to them and when he was able to observe this so called "something" he was speechless.

It was none other than a person, more specifically a child who was there on the floor, dressed in nothing more than rags, looking at him closely his physique was very deplorable, with a glance you could see the malnutrition he suffered and if you looked closely you could find scratch wounds nothing serious and a couple of tree leaves stuck to his hair, revealing that he had come running from the forest and in a hurry.

After what seemed like minutes observing the boy lying on the ground, he came back to himself and asked the mercenary chief:

-How is the boy, is he still breathing.

Said mercenary hastened to answer:

-Yes, he is still alive, but he is in a delicate state, not because of his wounds, but because of malnutrition.

Uufff

Filiph let out a sigh of relief and ordered:

-Well, help me to take him inside the carriage to treat him and let's camp for today here to ensure his health.

The chief of the mercenaries listening to him said nothing but only:

-Good.

Filiph took it upon himself to treat the boy, because being a novice trader who goes to remote places, he had to learn at least to treat minor injuries.

After what happened, they proceeded to camp by the side of the road for the day, always when it was time to camp the mercenaries were in charge of setting up the camp for it was also present in the contract.

Hours later, Filiph was sitting near the campfire thinking deeply about the event of the afternoon, if they asked him why he did it he would answer out of kindness, he had been taught since he was a child to do good and help when he could, he knew from experience that you can not always be kind to people, because in his youth they took advantage of that to get money, many came and asked him for money and although he did not have much he lent it to them, but they never gave it back, Some spent it postponing the payment and others he never saw them again, so he considered his kindness as a blessing and a curse at the same time, blessing because he was happy to help people who really needed it, who appreciated his gesture and who returned his kindness with kindness when he needed it, but also a curse because in his trade it was something he could not have because otherwise he would have losses and no profit, this would cost him progress in his work because his buyers and distributors would lose confidence in him.

Thinking about all this, he still could not abandon the boy who was alone even if he had to take care of him and spend his earnings from this trip, much less in his health condition, which if not treated soon nothing but death awaited him.

Point of View-MC

Many thoughts were going through my head, I felt very sore all over but the biggest feeling I felt was hunger, hunger like I had never felt before in my life, I didn't know why that was.

First I tried to calm down a little and remember what I had done before, thinking about it there were very few things that I remembered before arriving to this moment, first I remembered my life well, it was very normal there was nothing that stands out from it, but from there to remember how I ended up like this, I only have very fuzzy memories, for example I remember that I was in a place that in my opinion was a hospital, I also remember that the condition of my body was not as severe as it is now, from there I only have fragments of voices of people and faces, some familiar and others that I had never seen.

Well, after thinking and reviewing my memories, I have realized that my condition is very dangerous, so dangerous that it could lead me to death.

But well, I don't have enough strength to save myself, I don't know exactly how I got to such a condition, I have thought of several theories, some crazier than others.

Among them I could highlight, the most realistic which would be that I just woke up from a coma, this would explain my body pains for not moving much and also the hunger, but of course it is not that I can explain everything with that, for example I do not hear the machines, I don't see any light around me and I feel like I'm lying on a wooden plank in which they only put a couple of pillows and sheets, why in what kind of hospital do they treat their patients like that, someone tell me because I'm going to sue them if that's the case, I'm going to take all the money they are taking from me for being here, and if they are not charging me I'm still going to take the money from them.

Another theory, but crazy would be that I died and ended up reincarnating in the body of a child who was suffering from these conditions, but that would be impossible, really impossible, who will believe in these things of reincarnation and the other, it is only human fantasy, but well if I have to say it, I used to think about it, but it is already a thing of the past, just remembering makes me sad.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

But back to the present, it's hard for me to think because I'm so hungry, I swear I would eat a whole elephant if they put it on my plate.

While I was still delirious, I heard footsteps approaching the place where they were, I started to sweat cold because I didn't know who it was, my mind started to wander about who or what was approaching, I thought about aliens, kidnappers, even Jeison who was coming to take me.

My heart began to beat faster just hearing the footsteps stop in front of me, moments later the light from outside entered the place where I was lying on my back, my eyes slowly opened because I had kept them closed out of fear.

In my mind I cursed myself: "why did I have to watch so many horror movies, now look how I was, about to shit my pants if I had eaten anything".

While I was calming down, I heard the voice of the person in front of me.

-Hello boy, first of all let me introduce myself I am Filiph a merchant, we found you lying on the way to the city, you were in a critical state of health due to malnutrition and we found you fainted, so we brought you and waited for you to wake up so we could feed you, I want you to know that I have no bad intentions doing these acts, for now just eat and then when you feel a little better rest, we will talk tomorrow.

After the person named Filiph fed me what appeared to be porridge porridge he went out and pulled back the curtain of the carriage, leaving me in the dark again.

"Mmmmmmmmmm."

Right now my mind is in chaos, but there is only one single thing I would like to highlight at this very moment.

"HOW THE HELL DID I END UP REINCARNATEDEEEEEEEE!"

Well, with that said let's calm down not first and move on to explain how I came to said conclusion, well where to start, let's start with the place where I am, at the moment of feeding me Filiph had to lift my head and arrange a pillow to support it and tilt it, well at that precise moment I was able to see my surroundings what to what I thought before was a room, was nothing but a carriage, how did I know you ask, well first of all, everything was made of wood, the walls, the ceiling and the floor, secondly through the curtain that covered the carriage you could see the landscape outside, it was only forest and there was an unevenness in the place that should connect the floor, it was as if the room made entirely of wood was floating and last but not least when Filiph climbed up there was a jolt.

I only had to tie up the loose ends of what Filiph told me, like that he was a merchant who was on his way back to his city and found me lying on the road, Filiph himself called me a boy, they will say because they are important, but what they don't know is that I am 25 years old, how someone who looks 21 years old is going to call me a boy.

Leaving that aside and supposing that somehow I arrived to a place far from civilization where they still use carriages and where their clothing is from the medieval age, where they call people boy and supposing that how I arrived I forgot because of a trauma or a blow or something like that and even if all that were possible they could not explain the size of my body, I had not noticed because of hunger and because I wandered a lot in my thoughts, but my body shrunk from 1.9m I shrunk, that is an undeniable evidence.

I cannot deny that I am intrigued by how I got here, a part of me is afraid of this new world and the unknown of it, but I am alive and therefore I will continue to live in this world of which I am an inhabitant, the truth has always liked fantasy, let's hope this world is one of the so-called fantasy worlds.

Filiph is right I need to rest, to recover the health of this new body, I don't want to become the laughing stock of the reincarnated for dying so early in my new life.

And with this thought I went to sleep that night, all the problems and adversities that awaited me I was going to leave for tomorrow.
