In a dense forest something humanoid in shape can be seen laying on ground near roots of a very old tree. Many small rabbits looking animal can be seen looking in its direction from the hole near roots of the said tree.
Although said body is simply laying there, it is not attacked by wild life as they seem wary of the energy pulses that is coming from it and if one take a closer look to it one can also see that these energy pulses is damaging the humanoid body and massive amount of blood is already leaking from its wounds forming a very large blood pool.
Just when some brave rabbits were going to come out of there hole to inspect this anomaly that has occurred at there front door, they see it squirming and trying to stand up and falling because of the injuries.
"Where I am" said the body with extreme pain.
Yes, this is our protagonist who has just regained its consciousness.
I have been trying to wake up from this nightmare like silence and darkness I am experiencing, I am starting to believe the I am tossed into some king of hell by that voice which was telling me about reincarnation or something like that. I am starting to think that I am being kidnaped and consciousness is being kempt in some sort of suspended animation.
Just as I was ranting about my situation, I starting to feel something. I cannot describe this feeling, it's like becoming complete with your perfect half in literal sense, like something fundamental is missing in yourself and it just suddenly became complete.
After some time enjoying this weird euphoria came pain lots and lots of pain and it was magnified when I can somehow feel every part of my body down to its chemical level. Which is not a pleasant experience. At first, I was overjoyed that I have a body but that joy immediately turned into horror as I somehow was able to comprehend my body condition.
My new body is broken. There are many puncher wounds, cuts, burned marks and many other injury that I cannot describe. Blood is leaking from every wound. I tried to get up but my body seems to give up immediately. As I was laying in my blood half conscious, something like electric whip come to my view striking me on my exposed back making a new wound, while I tried to scream but cannot as my vocal cords seems to be damaged.
All home seems lost. Pain is getting better of me as my rationality is all time low, it was this moment I herd a voice that I immediately recognized despite all my confusion because of the situation I am in.

[Extensive damage detected. Degradation of mind detected reason being information overload. Activating A.I ... Activation complete … finding solution ….. solution found …. Deactivating pain receptors ... forcefully activating natural regeneration of body …. Partially Complete]
'A.I? yes my first wish, deactivating pain receptors? why it is happening to me, what I did to deserve this king of pain. No depressing thoughts . Okay think, you are not going to die in this place'
"I want analysis of my body" I said in hurry after seeing large amount of blood in my vicinity.
[Multiple stabs, cuts and burned wounds detected. Estimate time of death: 15 minute 10 seconds]
'I want solution to rectify my situation and what is that energy whip like thing surrounding me' I thought as I am finding speaking very tiring and difficult to do despite not feeling pain.
[Nature of the energy cannot be analyzed. But this energy is the reason user body is trying to heal it self at faster rate but it is not enough to close user's wound and make user's body operational. It is also observed that it is losing its potency every time it strikes user, reason user's soul is not compatible with this energy and user's new body is adapting to user's soul.]
'Solution, I want solution not explanation' I screamed in my mind as soon as I came to realize that I cannot stop that whip without thinking of something that will keep me alive because this whip is the only lifeline that is extending my miserable life to 14 something minute.
[Pulse of darkness or shadow will disturb the delicate balance of energy that is formed in near vicinity, making it collapse. As for wounds I will take control of body function and accelerate formation of blood clot on wounds sealing them. Natural regeneration can be further enhanced by consuming nutrient and body mass present on body or energy supporting your healing can be absorbed after the collapse although this will result in losing all future opportunity to use said energy as it will make your body compatibility zero for the said energy and it types].
With very difficult I managed to say "DO IT ".
[affirmative. Permission acquired. Accessing abilities].
Just as A.I was granted permission, it started to work. If one were to look closely to shadows near body of our mc we can see them squirming.
WOOSH!
Pulse of shadow which seem to come from shadow casted by mc's body shaped like dome travelled in all direction. When it collided with the energy whip said whip was absorbed by pulse and created a semi-transparent dome protecting mc's body, which lay in centre of the said dome.
As soon as energy whip as dissipated, blood clot starting to appear on wounds at very fast rate and we can see that body of our mc is starting to get better, not only those wounds are healing at very fast rate.
[No immediate danger detected to body. No internal damage detected. User condition: Mentally and physically tired. Estimate time for user to wake up: 4 hours].
As I am again greeted with pain and light and cannot help but ask despite feeling pain even trying to speak "Where I AM".
[You are in a forest. You are experiencing phantom pain rest and sustenance for body is recommended]
"F*** this shit". I cannot help but curse my situation as I never imagines my start to new life like this.
