Chapter 5 - A new... Beginning?

Author,-

First Important- Well, It seems my auto correct corrected something the wrong way in one of the chapters I had uploaded. I changed it back to what I wanted and I am also posting it here so you don't have to go back. It was about when mc was trying out the sheild skill in the cave.

Wrong paragraph-

As I was looking around, I soon noticed that My hand or, should I say, my skill was slightly glowing. as I observed closely, I realised that the sheild was actually sticking to my skill!

Right paragraph-

As I was looking around, I soon noticed that My hand or, should I say, my skin was slightly glowing. as I observed closely, I realised that the sheild was actually sticking to my skin!!

The skill and skin got replaced somehow, I apologise for this inconvenience. Also..

Second important- I am adding levels for the mc to level up! Mc is still on level one and leveling up only makes his base states slightly go up it isn't a massive boon in that regard but leveling up will give mc 2 skill points which he now can use to upgrade or increase the level of his skills!! This is also the only way for him to level up his skills that he gets from system since he can't level them up through training like other normal skills he learns through training.

I think that was about everything. I again apologise for changing stuff like this but I am still working on mc's powers and his system. But in the future I will be sure to not make these mistakes.

Thank you for your understanding!

Author's note ends...

I opened my eyes dizzily and pushed my head off the floor. As soon as I did so, I saw a lot of blood right where my head was laying. the iron smell made me certain of this substance being blood.

This made me wake up completely as I pushed myself and stood up. as I stood up a few drops of blood fell from my head to my face, chin and then towards the floor. I touched my head and found it soaked in blood.

I was laying face first in the puddle of blood, so my face covered in blood was expected but why is my head more covered in it? I looked around for the source of this blood but there was no one else around.

Was this my blood?

I thought like that but that idia sounded stupid. I was covered in blood, but I had no injuries whatsoever. and besides that, If this much blood came out of me then I would surely die of blood lose instead of an injury.

I sighed as I thought that this mystery isn't going to be solved so easily and decided to give up on finding whose blood this was. I had better things to do in life.

I ignored the puddle of blood after thinking like so and focused on my surroundings.

I was in an extremely messy room. the floor and walls were made of wood. there was a wooden bed too but it was broken from the middle in two. It looked like the room went through a hurricane.

I turned around to find a wooden door leading outside of the room. but this wooden door looked painfully similar to the wooden door I had to open to get out of that cave.

Now that I had mentioned it, Where was I? I went through the gate, so I should be in the tower. then is this the first floor?

I sighed and walked towards the door. there was no point in asking questions to myself, I will find out what's going on from the people on this floor.

The gate looked bigger then what I had remembered but I didn't pay too much attention on that and walked out of the gate. I was greeted with a small living room as soon as I exited. there were two modest looking sofas and a table there and also a full body mirror was hanging from a wall.

'Living room has a mirror but I didn't see any in the previous room.'

I walked towards the sofa since it didn't look like anyone was here. again I was reminded of how big everything was here. this sofa was also bigger then the average. of course it wasn't that big but the difference was noticable quite clearly. whoever lived here must be big for needing all things at bigger size.

I ignored that again. I looked towards the two other gates that were connected to this living space other then the ones I came from and walked towards one of them. A kitchen greeted me but there was no one and there were also no other doors inside the kitchen so I just closed the door off and started moving towards the only remaining door.

But just then, my eyes wondered off towards the mirror and I looked at my reflection which froze me in my place. I quickly moved towards the mirror and looked at myself or at the boy that was staring at me...

I touched my face and the boy also touched his. the boy looked to be no more then 16 years of age and had black hair and blue eyes. he looked stunning even though a lot of blood had covered his face and hair.

But looking at the boy only made me want to scream. This was not my face nor my hair and neither I had blue eyes.

I had grey hair which made me look older then what I was but some girls liked that I had taken full advantage of that. but the boy even though had some resemblance to my old self, looked nothing like me!

Then I realised, my height!! I was also a head shorter then my previous self! changing appearance was something any human could do by wigs, make-up and so on but reducing height wasn't possible. maybe, there was only one being who could do that...

"That old god..."

I didn't know how to feel about it but I was better looking then my previous self so I guess I could except this new look as well. I was quite good looking even in the old world but right here, I was just something else.

Though I do wonder what really happened? did I take over this boy's body? maybe he died from that head injury and then the god send my soul in him? then what about my real body? where is that? I sighed at all thoose questions that had no answers and again looked in the mirror at my new appearance.

my face was quite good looking ignoring the blood and all. I smiled as I looked at my blood covered face but my face looked more terrifying then anything with blood covering it as it had a sweet smile.

'I should get rid of the blood on my face and hair this makes me look terrifying.' I turned my face from the demon that was looking at me with the sweet smile as I thought.

After admiring my terrifying blood covered looks, I was about to turn around when I suddenly noticed another thing. I was wearing a ring! As I observed the ring closely, I found it to be very familiar, like I had seen it somewhere but couldn't quite remember.

the ring was blood red with three red eyes on it. I had worn it on my middle finger. I looked at it as I felt that it was just at the back of my mind where I had seen it but I couldn't quite remember where.

After thinking for a while I gave up. again, there was nothing I could do if I couldn't remember about it and trying too hard for something is not what I specialise.

Done with the distractions I walked towards the gate and opened it. I looked outside of the gate to see a dense amount of trees a little distance away from the house.

walking out of the house, I was able to tell that I was in the middle of the forest...

I put both my hands on my hips and thought-

'Now what?'

I didn't know where to go from here and it didn't look like anyone was going to come and get me. I scratched my head and decided to first check the area around the house and see if I could find a way out of this jungle.
