Legend Reborn

On the bank of a river, a young man, no more than 17 years laid covered in blood. There was no part of his body that was not colored red. His clothes were tattered, with full of holes, more precisely, bullet holes. But suddenly the young man gasped. He opened his eyes slowly. It was day time and the scorching sun made it difficult for him to check his surroundings for a while. He suddenly sat up straight, as if full of life.

"Where am I? What is this place? Aargh!!!" He suddenly yelled. The pain in his body was unbearable. But then he realized that the pain was caused by multiple iron shells getting cast out of his body and his wounds getting healed.

After some time when the pain was completely gone, only then he started checking his own body and his surroundings.

Mumbling to himself, he said " I thought I died in the great calamity of the Immortal Realm, how can I be alive, and what is this place? This is certainly not the Immortal Realm and this is not even my body."

He looked around and saw a river flowing and too many trees to count. He understood this was a forest. He looked at his own body and realized it was covered in blood, his clothes were full of holes.

"Eh, what is this?" He found a small iron piece pierced in his right leg.

The moment he took out the piece, he was shocked. " My sword! This is a piece of my sword. My 'Abyssal Void Sword' which I always used to slay my enemies. How can it be broken and why is a small piece stuck in my leg?"

He was utterly confused. He was sure that he died during the great calamity but he could not remember how or who killed him. He also realized he could not remember many things about the Immortal Realm.

"Why can't I remember soo many things? What happened to me? How can I be here?And most of all why the hell is my sword broken to pieces?" he said bitterly.

He decided to digest everything that is happening to him slowly. He went towards the river, took all his clothes off and dived in. After cleaning himself and removing all the blood stains he walked out of the water. He put on his pants which had two three bullet holes but he did not wear his shirt. It was utterly in tatters.

He picked up the broken piece of his sword and held it tightly in his hands and stood still. He was meditating, trying to remember something.

After sometime he opened his eyes and sighed. He could not remember anything apart from his breathing technique, body strengthening technique and alchemy. He decided not to dwell on this for the time being and let everything go with the flow.

He saw he was in middle of the forest and did not have a way out. He decided to go in the north direction by checking the sun's position. Just as he was about to walk he got a severe headache. He squatted on the ground while holding his hands. Wave of memories flooded in his mind.

'Oh so this guy's name is also Enzo just like mine. He is a student in some sect like thing called the ' Fifth National High School'. What the hell is a school? Anyway, he is an orphan cause his adoptive mother passed away three years ago. Sigh, indeed a hard life for him. He was killed by unknown men with guns while he was visiting a waterfall near the 'Blackrock Forest'. Oh so this place is Blackrock Forest. Guns? Some sort of weapons I guess. Damn he was shot 10 times. So all these irons shells are bullets, hah'.

After going through the memories of his predecessor, Enzo was gloomy. This man's life was already hard and yet he was killed in such a gruesome way. Enzo made up his mind to get justice for the guy.

Suddenly a chant appeared in Enzo's mind. Without even thinking he used the chant , and sealed the fading counsciousness of the previous Enzo.

"Young man, I have sealed a part of your soul in my spirit sea. When I will get powerful enough, I will reconstruct a similar body and place your soul in it so that you can also be reborn. Just be patient. " Enzo said zestfully.

"So this is Earth-17. I guess its part of the mortal realm. It has 110 countries. The one I am living is called 'Celestia'. And my city is 'Starlight' city which is the third largest in the country. The capital city is 'Sunflare' city. Alright then lets get started." He said to himself.

Enzo started walking in the north direction. He was shirtless and only had pants on. His physique was average. Although it was not his fault cause it was not his body.

After walking for thirty minutes he started feeling tired. 'Man this body is too weak, I need to start my cultivation as soon as I get home. Having such a weak body for an immortal warrior ,cheh I might as well kill myself again.'

By taking multiple breaks, he finally got out of the forest and found a road ahead.

'Now which way? He thought. Just then he saw a jeep coming his way.

'What? What kind of carriage is this, it's moving without even being pulled by a spirit beast. These people are quite advanced.' He mulled over. But then it hit him that he had the memories of the previous Enzo. He checked in his memories and found these carriages are called cars and the one he is seeing is called a Jeep.

Seeing a shirtless man standing in the middle of the road looking towards him, the driver thought he wanted a lift so he immediately stopped the jeep.

"Young man why are you standing in the middle of the road? And why are you shirtless?" the driver asked. He then suddenly thought of something and smiled. " Young man where you doing something with someone in the forest?" the driver asked laughingly.

Seeing the jeep stop and a man coming out of it, Enzo felt relieved. ' Now I won't have to walk again'. He was delighted. He said " No I was trekking in the forest and saw a wild animal so I started running. My shirt was torn while I was running so I threw it. Can you please give me a lift till Starlight Cit, I live there."

"Starlight City? I am going there myself. Come on get in." The driver smiled and said.

"I am Rob".

"I am Enzo".

Enzo got in the jeep while checking out the jeep. This was his first time seeing something this like and he was fascinated.

"Rob your jeep is too good. The design is awesome." Enzo complimented.

Rob smiled but did not say anything. He started driving. He started asking some questions to Enzo and Enzo answered them while carefully checking out the jeep from the inside. Seeing him checking things with such interest Rob suddenly got vigilant.

'Why is he looking at things like this? Does he want to rob my jeep?' Rob pondered. But he after sometime he concluded this guy was harmless. He maybe never saw a jeep before so he got excited.

After 1 hour they reached Starlight city. It was day time and the traffic was heavy. Many cars were on the roads. Seeing such scene Enzo was dumbfounded. Soo many cars, soo many high building and skyscrapers. Seeing this Enzo felt his world is not as bad as the people in Immortal Realm said about the Mortal Realm.

"Where do you live? Rob asked.

Enzo thought for awhile and said "Sky Apartments , Area 51."

Soon they reached the apartment building. Enzo got off the jeep and said " Thank you Rob for helping me today. If we ever meet in the future I will make sure to help you at any cost"

Rob laughed hearing this. 'This guy is not bad'. He said to himself.

"It's fine. We shall meet in the future. Bye". He replied and drove away.

'Finally home! Now I can have a good sleep'. Enzo was all smiles and went inside the building. But then he paused his steps. ' Wait I have to cultivate, I can't sleep. Damn this guy's memories is affecting me too.'

He went to his room which was on the fourth floor. Opening the door he saw a room and frowned. The room was very dirty.

'This guy, sigh, anyway.'

He started cleaning the whole house. He was from the Immortal Realm so he highly valued cleanliness.

After cleaning he sat down on the floor and started cultivating. He used the 'Five Element Chant' for his breathing technique and 'Saint Body Chant' for his body strenthening technique.

And thus began the legend of an immortal warrior in the mortal world.
