The Mysterious Rebirth
Dr Leonardo Dante came back from work feeling uneasy. He was taken upstairs to rest, he falls asleep and woke up in the 400th century. He was in the body of a teenager by the name of Edmund. He also lost his memory due to the effect of the transmigration. Edmund-an 17 years old man, 6’2 in height, fairly built. He is a farmer, a profession which his whole family is known for. His great grandfather is the head of this large family. He has four close friends (Ayan, Drax, Skurt and Akima). After over a month of socialization with his friends and family, he begins to have an insight into the place. Atkins his kingdom was under forced rule by the Giza dynasty. The dynasty had taken control of them a few decades back when they got to know of their fertile land blessed with gold. Gold was a major form of exchange in the southern part of EUROPE and was extremely important. Giza also replaced their king with a *head of state ( Governor) * and captured their Chief general. He finds out that he was poisoned by his very close friend Akima and begins to investigate the reason for this. He goes to the tavern that evening where a fight ensues between some gamblers. Verola, the chief general of Atkins daughter has a habit of visiting the tavern. She alongside her friend and bodyguard Miller beat up the thugs and Edmund is amazed to see her skills. He develops the desire to become someone better and goes to Atkins medical school to become a physician. He looses his father during an attack which leaves him depressed. He pulls out of the school and is back to “ground Zero”. He learns that the killers are from the rebel nation and this leaves him on a mission to avenge his father. He joins the chief general group and begins to develop deep feelings for Verola. On one of the outings he gets captured and is about to face the same fate as his father. Would Edmund survive this?
THE THUG FIGHT
Ayan rushed to one of the men on Skurt and hit him with his elbow. The other two men got alarmed by the presence of the third party and fixed their gaze on him.
"Who are you?" A middle-aged man who seemed to be the leader said.
"Why are you hitting my friends?" Ayan replied staring at them with angered eyes.
"Huh."
The man chuckled and rushed to Ayan. He hit him with a blow making him fall to the ground.
"What type of arm is that?"
He thought to himself feeling the impact of the punch.
He stretched his hands to his nose and noticed that he had begun to bleed.
Ayan turned his face to his surroundings. The whole combat had taken all his focus that he didn't realize that the place was empty.
"Oh shit now who is going to save us from these guys."
"We are surely going to die tonight."
He stood up to try to attempt to face the gang leader but realize that the man he had previously punched was now on his feet making their team complete again.
He turned to his friends who were moaning on the floor and shook his head.
"These idiots."
He hissed and returned his gaze to the thugs this time looking more angered.
They laughed looking at the young man staring at them with a tightened fist.
"What's he going to do. I'm so scared. Hehe.." One of the men said mockingly.
This made Ayan get more upset and he rushed to the man. He jumped above a table and hit him with a punch. The other thugs saw this and rushed to attack him.
"Skurt. We have to help him." A bleeding Drax said and rushed to the fight taking on one of the men.
Skurt stood up and suddenly felt some energy. He rushed to take on one of the other men on Skurt who unknown to him was the leader.
Skurt got hit with a punch and fell back to the ground.
"Argh" Skurt yelled and this attracted Ayan's attention which got him distracted. He was hit with a kick by the leader and he instantly fell to the ground.
The man reached for his pocket and brought out a knife. He suddenly began to walk slowly toward Ayan with a smirk on his face.
"It's time for your trip little fella."
He pointed the knife at him but was disturbed by a sound.
"Someone is coming." The leader said and reached for the door to escape.
His men saw his action and they too did the same.
Ayan sigh with relief but had a worried look on his face.
"Who is that." He said silently and crawled for a table to hide.
Drax and Skurt simply lay on the floor. It was a perfect cover.
"I have seen you all already!" A man said and the trio became anxious.
"Who is that!"
Ayan managed to find his voice.
"It is me!" The voice said this and hastily jumped out of his cover revealing himself to be Edmund.
"Oh my, you scared me." Ayan said and came out.
"Where were you?"
"We nearly lost our lives and you just come here to…BOOM!"
"What happened I don't understand."
"Well, some thugs attacked us," Skurt replied, and helped Drax to get up.
"Oh my God!"
He looked at his friends who were bleeding in different parts of their faces. He looked at Ayan and noticed that he was also injured so he rushed to them.
"Where are they?" He asked Skurt.
"They ran off as soon as they heard you approaching."
Skurt replied and picked up a chair to sit on.
"We have to get going. It's late already and the thugs might return." Skurt added and stood up.
"He is right!" Drax said and hastily got up.
Edmund hurriedly walked to the main door and peeped if the men were returning.
"I think they are gone." He said and they all sighed in relief.
"But I still think we should leave this place." He added and opened the door. The others waited for a while awaiting his signal.
They heard a whistle some seconds later and they too left the place.
They headed for their horses, got on them and rode home.
