Ch 4 - Reincarnation part 2

Ch 4 :Reincarnation part 2

Broken images of various scenes flashed through his mind. They seemed all too realistic to be written off as just the imagination of seven- year old boy. They showed life of a completely diffrent person which is also named Kyle.

According to his memories he was 21 year old university student. No even now,Kyle was living that life,as if those memories had happened to him just a moment. A strange unsettled felling fell over Kyle,causing him to shake his head violently.

He thought "What am I thinking ? A Kyle from diffrent world..?

The set of dual memories left Kyle feeling confused. He looked at his hands, as if he were trying to escape reality. But it wasn't the unblemished skin of a child who grew up well provided for in the age of plenty. These were the hands of someone that was underweight from malnutrition; the skin was dry and rough covered with grime.

Of course.... According to his memories as an orphan he hadn't had a bath in the ages.

He thought " Seriously..?"

It was so unhygienic. Kyle grimaced. The tattered clothes he wore were stiff and made of hemp and he couldn't remember the last time he'd washed them. Of course he didn't have any proper socks or shoes either... Bit he should be grateful he had something to wear at all ,he guessed.

His hair was disheveled and pretty damaged too. But he could tell it was black in color underneath all of the filth.

"Phew"

Kyle breathed in and out,deeply trying to calm himself and organize his memories. He placed his right hand against his mouth in thought.

"He is Kyle and he was apparent a university student which is also named Kyle as well,with seven years worth of memories from living in Erugenian kingdom's capital and twenty one years of memories from living on Earth. But no matter how much his memories were doubled ,he wasn't 21 year old Kyle from Earth if he were that Kyle he wouldn't be a little boy right now,much less in a place like this. And if his memories are correct,the young named Kyle wasn't alive anymore.

" In my memories,I died on the bus... I think?"

He remembered being on a bus that hit something , and remembered being in extreme pain ,like his limbs were torn apart. He couldn't remember what happened after that,but it was hard to imagine to come out alive from something like that.

"Where am I right now.....? Is this a dream? The afterlife? Am I reborn?"

He listed off every possibility he could think of,but everything was so realistic to be written off as a dream. It was hard to imagine this was afterlife too.

Which meant he was most likely reborn,Kyle suspected. Could such a fantastical story be real? Did that Kyle even exist? But no matter how much he wondered, no one could tell him the answer. There was no answer. The only thing he knew for sure was that he was Kyle of this world not of Earth which he saw in his memories.

As time passed, the diffrent memories and personality within him confused him less and less, and Earth Kyle's personality merged with Kyle of this world. Their two different memories and personalities were completely different from each other ,but they blended together without conflict underneath. Kyle from showed up more intensely because he'd had more life experiences, but Kyle of this world was able to accept that part of him. That was why they were able to perceive each other 's memories as their own experience and still remain sane over the situation at hand. Even so... Kyle thought it was best not to think too deeply about how weird it felt.

But right now he had a bigger problem Rrrghhhh. The sound of an empty stomach echoed throught the room and Kyle came to depressing realisation that he was starving. He sighed; the hunger he felt made him a little lightheaded. There were a lot of things on his mind: whether these memories of another life were real or not ,why he were he reborn if so and why did he only get these memories now? He could only find that out by staying alive.

Kyle also knew full well how futile it was to ask these questions. Instead he shifted his thoughts trying to break out of his dire situation. Earth Kyle's memories and personality played a big role in how he was thinking calmly right now.

If it had been Kyle and only Kyle of this world,he would have died miserably as an orphan,with no prospects to his future.

That would have been the worst possible outcome ..... and it would have been unacceptable for Kyle as he had a goal to fulfil

He couldn't afford to die here. He thought

"If I die now,those people...

He recalled his deep seated hatred for those people and gritted his teeth.

Kyle's father died shortly after his birth,and his mother was killed when he was small. He'd lived in these dumpster -like slums ever since. His parents were both immigrants from a faraway land. His father was an adventurer while his mother was a healer.(Author's note : Healers ate person which heal people's wounds with magic.). They planned their lives around their travels. But when Yua, his mother was pregnant with Kyle, his parents decided to settle down at Citadel and his mother temporarily withdrew from work. This left the financial burden of their livelihood on Kyle's father,Kiyoshi who was a skilled adventurer.( Author's note: Adventurers are persons who make living by hunting down monsters and selling their cores or completing different missions for a price.) Unfortunately, he died not long after Kyle was born. Despite this, Yua continued to raise Kyle admirably: she lived a modest life and dug into her savings in order to raise her child. But their peaceful life ended when Kyle was only 4 years old.

Yua was an exotic, foreign beauty. She may have had Kyle but she was still young enough to be targeted by vulgar men and their obscene looks. With the still infant Kyle as weakness, Yua was easily up by the evil around her and brutally murdered before Kyle.
