2 2. Reborn in another world

Bam! Bam! Bam!

" Hey, Sis! Wake up! We're going to be late! Man...I can't believe you still sleeping inside! Wake up!!" A loud shout, accompanied by strong knocks on the door stirred up a lone figure on the bed. It's a girl around 16 to 17 years old. She had a delicate face, with sweetness of a little beauty. She had a slightly curl of black hair with heart-shaped face. Rounded eyebrows, added with long, curly eyelashes and peachy eyes. Small-button nose, and a slightly pouting lips. Overall, a delicate beauty.

At this moment, the girl's upper lip curled into a scowl. The noises outside the door did disturb her slumber, making the girl's hazy memory become clearer and clearer. Her eyelashes trembling like an autumn leaves. Slowly, the closed eyelids opened, revealing a pair of hazel-coloured pupils. The hazel eyes glazed with confusion.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

" Sister! Wake up!!" The loud shout instantly awaken a deep memory within the girl. Her body sprung up from the bed, together with heavy breathing escaped her mouth.

" Hisss!" She hissed in pain. Countless memories of her and the unknowns' overlap each other in her mind.

" Fine! Whatever! I'm not going to wait. I'm getting late!" The irritating male voice outside the door gone with the footsteps getting smaller and distant.

" Where am I?" Finally, the girl blurted out in daze.

She looked around with a trace of confusion on her pretty face. The last memory of her was being stabbed by a spear. The head of spear pierced through her abdomen to the back of her body. The sharp pain from the stab leave a big impression in her memory.

" I'm dead...I'm sure of it." Her mouth curved into a bitter smile. But, soon, her brows furrowed into confusion. Did she survived? The only pain she could muster up until now was from her head, not her abdomen. She looked down to inspect the injury, however, soon realised that something was different.

The girl on the bed was nonetheless, but Rira Arow, the ace captain of Black Snake Mercenary. At this moment, Rira Arow put aside the pain that comes from her head. She focused on the body instead.

" This is not my body...right?" She blinked. As an active warrior, the development of her body was second only to her height. The well proportion of muscles and hard bones now gone, leaving only a typical slender body of a female.

Without a second thought, Rira Arow sprung out from the bed, and staggering into the bathroom. How she know the direction, it's already at the back of her mind.

Rira Arow stood in front of the mirror, gawking at her clear reflection. This is not her!

" Am I dreaming? Wait...who am I now?" Rira Arow murmured. A line of words appears in her mind.

Rira Alona, 17 years old high school student of B-C High.

" Rira...Alona..." Rira Arow holds herself from falling on the cold mirror. The cold shiver shot her awake upon realising the matter of a life after death.

Reborn.

She has been reborn!

" Heaven...I'm alive." Rira plopped down on the toilet bowl, massaging her throbbed head.

She remembered the last scenario of a bright red spear stabbed and she get killed on the spot. The weird thing was the spear appeared out of nowhere. That's why it caught her off guard. Her carelessness killing her.

" What am I expecting for? That's an ancient tomb filled with countless booby traps and hidden danger. There's no way the spear comes out of nowhere. It's clearly another hidden traps." And yet, she fell for it. She accidentally stepped on the scattered mechanism and trigger the trap that leads to her own demise.

She sat still, thinking that her current situation was a bit off. She has been reborn, yes, but in a completely different world.

The Earth.

Countless memories of the world graced her mind one after another, filling up some important information.

At this moment, truthfully, her acceptance toward the reincarnation was a bit easy. Since, she already prepared for an early retirement from the mercenary group. She proposed a withdrawal from the group before the last expedition to the ancient tomb. Now, she was dead and reborn.

It is not so bad anyway. At least, she had an easy time getting used to this new identity and lifestyle. She regained both previous and current memories of two people. So, it became a cheat for her. At least.

All in all, everything should be fine. The only problem was how to adapt into this new life of her. In the past, 'Rira Arow' had no privileges to live like a normal girl due to her status as an orphan and the needs to survive through the changing season every years. Her adopted family was not wealthy enough to feed her properly, so, she started to work at the age of 12.

At the age of 15, she joined the mercenary group. So, the age of 17 was a legal age where most of the youth went out and work.

" Oh, well. I should live this life, right?" Rira Arow, no, Rira Alona muttered.
