Why?

'Why am I stuck here?' I thought, looking at my classmates who were filming a video. all of them dancing and laughing like crazy. They sure are having fun.

Still...I-...They never included me. I skim through Instagram on my phone. there were several pictures of my classmates' group photos. And I wasn't present in a single one. It seemed to me like they never uploaded the photos which included me.

'I may be a little bit ugly...but, to never even consider my feelings', I diverted my gaze from them. Walking through the hallway, I looked outside the windows on the side. Gives me peace of mind.

*Sigh*

It was coming back. The thirst for blood, I get this every once in a while. I had to suppress those feelings tho, I couldn't kill a person...Cuz of the law. The law that restricted me from doing what my instincts craved for.

'Looking back...It's almost funny that I accidentally killed my cousin in my sleep, griping his throat', I still remember that night, If mom didn't stop me, That guy wouldn't exist.

I am grateful for the fact that she stopped me, Cuz my past self could've never handled that. But now...It's completely different. I turned to what I hated the most...A person who wants to kill.

Oh, days! when those times I used tell "nobody has the right to kill another". Chuckling, I looked at the building behind me, to be precise, My school. Yes, I already exited it and walked almost 200 Meters away.

Pulling out a remote with a red button from ny pocket, I smirked. I knew this much distance wouldn't keep me safe. But I wasn't planning to get out...Alive. I pressed the button with a wicked smile.

*Boom*

Huh?

Looking around, I couldn't recognize the place I was currently in. As soon as I was about to take a step forward to the mirror beside me, A throbbing pain assaulted me.

I gritted my teeth, A river of pictures crashing inside my mind. A low grunt escaped my lips. The pain slowly went away.

"Ha~"

Another wicked smile emerged from my lips. 'So, it did work', I stood up and looked at myself in the mirror. Spikey blond hair with blazing red eyes and Skin pale as a snake.

'From Luke to...Najin', I looked around 7, wearing clothes which were torn apart here and there. I again looked through my memories. According to 'My' memories, I was born in a small village called 'Rust wood'.

And that the current world I'm in was called 'Titan', A world twice my previous world's size...hypothetically. An era where kings, Knights, and...Magicians exist.

'Knights huh, the registration is next year. To be a trainee', Looking around the small room, which barely had any space. I sighed, not that I'm complaining tho, I had a small mattress and water bucker...A mirror aswell. Plenty enough!

Chuckling hard, I exited the house. I looked around. Trees and Trees everywhere. Yeah, My house is in the middle of the forest, almost 500 meters away from the village. I started making my way toward the village.

'Damn...I need water', I was already exhausted from walking 50 meters in. There! I saw a pond where deers and some other animals were drinking from. I tried to approach...but got chased by a stupid deer.

'When the hell did deers become aggressive?', I thought, breathing heavily. I peeked over the small boulder I was hiding behind. I sighed in relief after seeing that there wasn't anyone there.

"!!"

I tilted my head solely based on instinct. And there it was, A peach dropping where my head previously was. 'Ho~', I stared. Amazed by my own reflexes. Speaking logically, there was no way I could've accomplished that...considering the fact that I couldn't 'sense'.

'Ah, shit...now I'm lost', I picked up the peach. 'Ah..there's the path', I smiled looking at the familiar path that lead to my house from the village. I started walking.

After about 2 hours of walking, I finally reached the outskirts of the village. I barely had any stamina left by now, and finding a source of food or water was quite the challenge.

'Finally'

I took my first step...toward my path, to becoming a knight.
