Chapter 1: Awakening
Chapter 1: Awakening
"Pain... it hurts a lot," a weak voice with a tone so low it could barely be heard, coming from a young man around 24 years old, with hair as golden as gold and eyes that were gradually losing their sparkle. He was floating in the deep darkness that seemed to be water, while all he could express in his thoughts was the pain he was feeling. He witnessed his short life flash before his eyes. Despite living a solitary life, he never regretted anything. He lived on his terms, doing what he loved without harming anyone. He enjoyed his music just as his late parents would have wanted. But it all ended so quickly. Before he could realize it, he was sinking into those cold waters while pain invaded him and his sight darkened. He could only see the clouds on that dark night flowing with the wind, giving way to a beautiful and bright moon, as white as snow.
"Am I going to die, huh? Although this scenery isn't bad, and I don't feel so cold anymore, hehe," a faint smile appeared on Noah's face, then changed to a more sad and melancholic expression. "Although I enjoyed my life, even though it was short, I can't help but regret not having enjoyed it more. Making friends my age and not having focused so much on the conservatory. I could have organized my life in a way that wouldn't affect my studies, but I didn't, and now possibly no one will attend my funeral... that's something sad." Slowly, Noah closed his eyes to never open them again... or so he thought.
"UuaaaFff cOoffh cOoffh... Where am I? Am I alive? But a moment ago AAAAHHGG." A loud scream of pain came from Noah; the pain was so intense that it made him support his hands on the ground while trying to withstand the sudden and not-so-pleasant headache. "AAHGj What are these things? Are-these memories? But AEHGj Who am I, where am I? AAAGHjg"
With no time to speak, Noah began to receive tons of memories in his brain, enough information in such a short time to cause cerebral death to any regular human. It took about 10 minutes for the waves of information to stop, and he slowly began to regain his mental stability. "Th-this... isn't my world, AAGHJ and this Aah is not me."
Just as Noah said, this wasn't his world, it wasn't even his body. According to his memories, this world was called Eonís, a planet similar to Earth but at the same time so different. According to his memories, this planet shared quite a few similarities with his previous "world"? But at the same time, it had a couple of things quite different, like the technology of this world, for example, which seemed to be much more advanced compared to Earth.
Another big difference was its geography. There are no continents here like America, Asia, Europe, etc. The continents here are called: Aquilón, Lumina, Primova, Crestaria, Silvenia, and Sondem... well, or rather, they were called, as one day, for a strange reason, strong earthquakes struck the planet, gradually bringing all the continents together to the point where you could travel from one continent to another in less than a day by boat.
But that wasn't all; an island almost the size of a large country emerged from the depths of the ocean. No one ever knew why, and if they knew, the information was hidden from the normal public. However, over time, the six continents reached an agreement to share the new lands. It didn't take long for all the continents to connect huge bridges from their respective lands to the new island that emerged from the depths, giving way to the new united continent, Linkoria. Noah found one thing odd in all those memories... He was missing information, or that's what he felt, but maybe it's just due to the memory rain from which he's still recovering.
"Now I have to go... Home." Noah had a lot to process, including the death of the previous owner of this dirty and fat body. The last thing he remembers is that Ethan Noah Whitekings, the previous owner of this body, is a damn bastard, the worst scum in this world. An ugly and virgin fat guy who only thinks with the head below. Every woman he saw, he undressed them with his eyes and loudly said all the things he would like to do to them. Without going into details, let's say he comes from a rich family... very rich, and he always got away with harassment complaints thanks to the power of his family. No woman would dare to report a member of the Whitekings family fearing retaliation.
But one day, Ethan's luck ran out, and under the influence of alcohol, he tried to attack his 16-year-old younger sister. Luckily for the girl, her older sister was there to stop that bastard and give him a beating he wouldn't forget for a long time. Two days later, he was expelled from the family and assigned to a middle-class apartment far from the family mansion, with enough money to pay for 6 months of rent and personal expenses like food and hygiene products. But the idiot Ethan spent it all in three months and didn't even pay the rent for the third month.
Last night, as he left the bar quite drunk on his way to the apartment complex, he was attacked by someone, to be more precise, by a mysterious and quite strong woman. Most of her body was covered by a robe and a hood that barely let him see some strands of red hair and eyes the color of the brightest and purest blood imaginable. All Ethan felt at that moment was fear, fear of that gaze that showed the most aggressive and chilling bloodlust he could imagine. The mysterious woman... or beast, held him by the mouth, making it impossible for him to utter a single cry for help. Adding the effect of alcohol, he couldn't resist much, and he was dragged into the nearest alley.
Once hidden from the view of any curious onlooker who might pass by, she spoke, "I was so hungry, you have no idea how long I've been running from those bastards. So don't take it personally, chubby. I have nothing against you, so let me have a bit of your blood." The moment she finished speaking, she opened her mouth, revealing beautiful white teeth... and fangs larger than normal. Then, she approached his neck and bit without any care to avoid harming him. She began to suck his blood so desperately that within seconds, he was already half-dead, and the little blood he had left practically became almost all his blood. When she stopped, she simply said, "DELICIOUS!!!! I've never tasted such delicious blood with so much energy; I feel more powerful than ever! Not even after drinking more than 300 liters of blood did I feel like this. Can I have a little more, fatty...? Oh, shit, I didn't realize I drank so much! Hey, buddy, are you okay? Or no, if they find out about this, I'm going to have a lot of problems. I'm sorry, my intention wasn't to kill anyone; I just wanted to eat." The vampire left Ethan's body on the floor of that alley and disappeared so quickly that she didn't even leave a trace of having been there.
"Damn, that leaves me even more confused. Vampires?! Seriously?! God, and I still feel like there are missing memories in my mind about many things regarding my family. AAH! I'm going to go crazy." After taking a few minutes to calm down, Noah decided to go to the apartment where he lives. According to his memories, it's not far, but before taking more than 3 steps, a hologram very similar to a PC screen appeared before his eyes. "What the hell..."
Author: Well, here I leave my first chapter; it's quite short, but I'm just starting to write, and I didn't want to overload my head too much in the first chapter. Thank you very much for reading if there's anyone reading this, hahaha. The holidays are approaching; I hope you all have a good time, and I'll try to bring the next chapter as quickly as possible. I want it to last much longer if possible, so I'll update in a few days. Bye.
