2 Chapter-2

Not knowing how he was still alive, Alan slowly opened his sore eyes after some time.His whole body ached, particularly his head. It felt as if he had a severe migraine and random things crammed into his head.

Looking around he saw that a chubby little kid was sitting near him and anxiously looking at him. They were near a riverbank and it's surroundings were breathtaking. It was surrounded by hills and mountains and even filled with flaura and fauna. Even the quality of air here is fragrant beyond comparison.Looking at his own reflection in the water he was completely baffled as his appearance was that of a 12 years old kid with silver hair and crimson eyes and suddenly countless memories flooded his mind.While he was still immersed in his own thoughts he heard the kid say something and by turning around he saw the kid examining him anxiously "Shura are you alright.....why are you looking at me like that ".The chubby kid had short brown hair with chestnut coloured eyes. 'Somehow this kid looks oddly familiar although I've never known him'. " Shura it's me jack don't you recognize me""Ja.. Jack".

Jack places his hands onto Shura's forehead and relaxed soon after. With a joyful expression he spoke, "your body temperature seems normal. You nearly scared me to death. Shura, are you okay? Tell me if you feel uncomfortable anywhere "

In the face of the guy's eyes that filled with deep concern, Alan woodenly shook his head. He stared openly into space with a vacant gaze.

"Come let's go to your house first, then I'll meet the guards and inform them that we finally found you"

Nearly after 20 minutes since they started walking they say a huge mansion 'wow!!! is that my house, it's so freaking huge' and just at that moment Alan heard a rumble from afar. He couldn't help looking back towards the sound and all that they saw was dust cloud forming in the distance. The dust storm approached at dazzling speed and when they looked carefully it was a weird beast with a wierd symbol running towards the Manson's entrance.

"It's the mount of the City Lord's guards.... City Lord must be coming here to congratulate master as third young lady was found to have grade 3 martial talent"

When Alan heard about it he had an unknown heartache not knowing why.

After entering the mansion they started walking towards the sevents quarters.they finally reached a shabby looking house which looked so old that it could not stand for another day.

The boy was in such a rush that he did not notice the abnormality of Shura's current state. He pushed Shura's shoulders, signaling him to lie back on the bed and hurriedly left.

As the door shut Alan sat up on the bed, hands clutching his head.

This was one of the cities in the far east located in Slabia Kingdom of the Gliadral Continent—Esarith City. And he was a slave of the Xiao family-Shura ! He had just turned twelve this year.

That was his current identity.

Suddenly, his memory overlapped with that of earth's twenty or so years of memory and he burst into confusion.

If I am Shura… Then why do I have memories of the Earth?

Is it because I traveled to this body after I died on Earth?

No! I am obviously Shura! This entire room is familiar to me and I clearly remember all the events of my childhood. Everything from my memory was from personal experience and there is no way I would steal another's memory!

Then was everything from the Earth all just a dream? But the memories of living on Earth were as clear as day. How could those twenty-four years of love and hatred be only just a dream!

What the hell is going on?

Alan… The current Shura stilled for a long time as he slowly calmed down and settled his thoughts.

'The only reason that I can think of right now is that both these memories are real and I only recalled the memories of my previous life'

'how absurd ,I always thought that those fantasy novels were all bullshit and here I am...' . 'but thinking again it's really lucky that i managed to survive or how lame it would have been to commit suicide just because I can't practice martial arts due to this frail body . He continued to manage his memories and he found out that unlike his previous world where there were only a few people with special abilities, this world is literally filled with martial artists who can train themselves by absorbing the energy which is here known as spirit energy.

This was a world where martial arts was life. In this world, humans had their own cities and campgrounds while the wilderness belonged to the wild beasts and demonic beasts. Humans risked the threat of being attacked by wild beasts or demonic beasts when out farming or hunting. Because of these monstrous huge beasts, it had limited the range of human activities. So among the commoners, there was a supply deficit.

For a campground or a city, high-level warriors were a lifeline! Without the protection of the high level warriors, demonic beasts could destroy the residents of campgrounds and cities in a night.

But alas! he was not one of those martial artists.

Today morning was the screening test of martial talent held every year by Xiao family and he was found out be one of the ninety nine people who could not train martial arts due to either frail body or lack of talent. Due to this reason, Shura tried to commit suicide as he wouldn't be able to take revenge on his clan who abandoned and kicked him out of the clan after the death of his parents

In Xiao clan, Every year all the slaves who have martial talent would be promoted to be sevents and they won't be bound to this clan and will also receive some money as salary ,so Shura was looking forward to it. But all the hope was for naught.

But now every thing changed after recalling his memories of past life.

He now not only is Shura but also Alan. He used to be one of the best assassin in the world known as the blood demon and was also one of the few special ability users with his ability being gluttony. It is a unique growth type ability that can absorb and assimilate any kind of energy that his body can withstand .

Alan tried to use his ability like he always used to do and he faintly felt nearly transparent white dots of light floating and surrounding him before suddenly disappearing.

He then suddenly felt the familiar coolness transverse through his entire body as if it was cleansing his entire body. It absolutely refreshed him.

He is extremely familiar with this feeling but it felt as if it was magnified by multiple times. 'It seems that energy in this world is extremely Concentrated'

And by sitting in a meditative stance it started absorbing the energy.
