second chance

The sudden arrival of sharp pain over her whole body forced her to open her eyes.

"I didn't die? That's impossible."

As soon as she opened her mouth and said those words she was stunned, her mature voice had changed to one that belonged to a child.

Realizing that something wasn't right, she started to look around.

The room she was in had grey walls that were contaminated with countless bloodsplatters.

Some still had the red color of fresh blood but most of them had already turned brown.

[There isn't a room like this in the organization, what's going on?]

Her thoughts were a mess and she was trying to think of different possibilities, when suddenly her attention had turned to her hands.

Her hands were tiny and even though they were riddled with wounds, she could see that they were smooth.

Totally different from her mature hands with slender fingers that had clear signs of calluses because of her constant use of knifes.

Just when she started to realize something, a splitting headache made her clutch her head with her tiny hands.

Suddenly memories of a life she had not lived started to invade her mind.

Everything was clear now. She had reincarnated into the body of this poor fourteen year old girl named Luna Lane of the Lane family.

When she was born, a priest had prophesized that the day she turned fourteen she would turn into a rare talent that had the ability to rise to unimaginable heights.

Of course after the king found out about this, he immediately formed an engagement between Lucas, the fourth prince of Astrum country, and her because he couldn't let such a talent fall into someone else's hands.

Sadly it soon turned out that Luna was a complete waste, she didn't have a life-cultivation book and worst of all, she was found to be deaf.

Because she was deaf since birth, she was also unable to speak.

In this country where only the strong had a say, it doesn't take a genius to know what her life was like. She was seen as the sore spot of the Lane family and became a punching ball as soon as something went wrong.

Especially the eldest sister, Regina, loved to vent her feelings on Luna.

She was often beaten to the point of being unable to move by her.

The reason was simple, she was in love with Lucas and couldn't bear the thought of him being engaged to her sister who was only a waste of space in her eyes.

Her sister's hatred had reached its peak yesterday because that evening had been Luna's birthday and the messenger of the palace had bestowed the wedding date that had turned out to be in a week, as Luna's present.

Blinded by jealousy her sister had tricked Luna into coming to the forest with her, where she had handed her over to Brutus who was notorious in the country for venting his hatred of being incompetent on innocent girls.

Soon after Luna had been whipped and tortured endlessly, until she couldn't take it anymore and she had ran head-first into the wall which ended up killing her.

When the flow of memories stopped, the little girl's body started trembling from anger and a bloodthirsty aura, that would even scare the king of hell, had burst out of that tiny frame.

"Hateful… little girl since I got a second chance at life thanks to you, I will avenge you! I will have our name known and feared by all!"

A thought quickly came to mind. If I had a second chance maybe my brothers did too! This girl coincidentally has the same name I had in my previous life, so if I make myself known it will be easier for my brothers to find me.
