Reincarnation And The Tracker

In the spirit world,

There was a small house in the village, barely standing as the rain continued to fall mercilessly tapping onto the roof.

At night, as raindrops fell and the howls terrified everyone, a boy was screaming in pain as a big wound could be seen on his chest while a girl aged fourteen desperately tried to pour water on burning wounds.

"It's okay, It's okay, The pain would go away,"

Her voice was quivering as she tried to find anything which could lessen the pain of the pale-faced boy screaming in agony.

"I am sorry, Angelica!"

The boy gathered all his strength and said with a voice filled with helplessness.

"No!"

The girl cried out in fear as she hurriedly threw the water bucket and embraced the boy's body.

Alas!

There was no life left in him, but the poor girl still thought he was unconscious, not dead.

"You should embrace the life, Shiva, even if I am not there for you, the time we spent was precious, and I expect you to move on in life for me,"

"She has stage four cancer, you have to live without her!"

"Boom!"

Breath!

The boy in the broken house woke up with heavy breathing trembling the girl's body.

"Orion? Thank god!"

Angelica who was lost in gloomy thoughts jumped in joy.

"Where am I?"

The Boy's blurry sight became clear as he observed around himself.

It was a small, broken room and from some parts, water was dripping from the roof. He also felt a cold sensation as the wind blew making him shudder.

Angelica was confused by his reaction for some time then she panicked.

"Orion, Did you forget something due to your injury?"

Orion looked at the girl who had blonde hair, the same eyes as Isla and trembled.

He extended her right hand and touch her white cheek which still had a bit of tears, it was soft.

He saw the girl's eyes and retracted his hand as the same emotion appeared in her eyes-- helplessness and love for him.

Orion composed himself and pretended.

"I don't remember anything as I was injured on my head too,"

His voice was monotone but concise completely different from the boy who died earlier.

"Doesn't matter, as long as you are alive, because if something has happened to you, I would have taken my life,"

The tone, the voice and her beautiful hair reminded him of Isla again and again.

Then she wiped out her tears and told him everything.

"Your name is Orion and I am your friend, Angelica, we used to play together all the time in Winch City but one day our parents offended the city lord by crashing into his cart and were executed on sight and we escaped due to my mom who was killed on our way,"

"Now we are living in this village for three months, and yesterday when Damien tried to harass me, you fought with him and later were injured by his friends,"

She briefly introduced everything as she expected him to recall the memories on the basis of it.

Orion heard the full story but except for gaining sympathy for Angelica, he didn't care about anything else.

He stood up as pain assaulted him, and slowly embraced her patting her like a child.

Angelica felt relaxed by it so she didn't say anything and both of them just stayed like that for a full minute.

After a minute, Orion slowly caressed her hair as she fell asleep due to exhaustion and gently put her on the bed.

Her soft breathing close to his face gave him warmth as he stood up and strolled outside of the room.

After looking at the wounds, he knew he would not survive without proper medicines but he realised that it was an ancient world where people were still using carts in the city.

So he opened the wooden gate and stood in the rainy storm as thunder raged and the village kept silent due to the night.

As he was washing himself using the cold rain, he saw something glowing just a meter ahead.

Driven by his curiosity, he cautiously approached the glowing grass.

Puch!

He uprooted the grass and observed it, trying to find any peculiarity in it.

At this moment,

[Ding!]

[The Tracker has been initiated!]

A voice was heard in his head as a blue screen appeared before his eyes.

Orion was disturbed by the voice so he let go of the grass and stared at the panel.

"Who?"

[Hello Host! My name is 'The Tracker System' which can track different kinds of medicines and materials.]

The tracker gave a simple introduction to him which increased the curiosity of Orion as he asked his next question.

"So you mean you can track any medicine or material which is useful for me?"

[Yes Host.]

"Okay, Scan the grass and tell me what is the use of it?"

[Scanning..40%..60%..100%.]

[Scanning Completed.]

[ Type-- Healing Grass

Power-- 1.0

Finding Probability-- 2 Percent]

A small piece of information about the grass was displayed before him, surprising him as the data was concise and clear.

Orion picked up the grass and pondered.

[Host can exchange the grass for one point of power which can heal him and will make him level up from mortal to purification stage one.]

Orion looked at the data and now his suspicion about this world grew.

"What do you mean by that, Tracker?"

[In the spirit world, Cultivation is way a to climb the social ladder and truth. As one advances more in cultivation, the more truth he realises and becomes more prestigious..]

[Cultivation stages are divided into five stages-- Beginning with Purification stage where one purifies their body and mind through constant practice and meditation.]

[The second one is Devotion stage where you devote yourself to a law, god or any idea becoming the worshipper of it.]

[The third one is Elemental stage where you start interacting with nature as you control natural elements such as fire, water and air etc around you.]

[Deity Stage-- It is the fourth stage where you become master of your idea, or law or starts having traits of the god you worshipped in Devotion Stage.]

[Enlightenment Stage-- In this stage, you fight with what you have always followed from your Devotion Stage and by killing or becoming one with your god, law or idea, you reach the ultimate Enlightenment Stage.]

[But every stage is further divided into nine steps and one can not cultivate without having Jnana Vriksha.]

Tracker thoroughly introduced the whole cultivation system to Orion.

"So it means I do have Jnana-Vriksha ?"

[No.]
