“So …it actually occurred…”
Add realized that one thing unusual had occurred to him. When the ache hit his head, a stream of recollections not belonging to him flooded his thoughts. These have been the recollections of a younger boy known as Andrew who was an orphan. He grew up in an orphanage which sheltered him for so long as he may recall. It was a humble place however as a result of donations of some individuals the orphans lived a roughly secure life. When Andrew turned 15 years outdated he needed to go away the orphanage because it was the rule for boys of 15 to depart. He had left the townand had turnedto the lifetime of a hunter searching small prey and promoting them in an enormous metropolis. Nevertheless just some months after he started, someday he was searching in a forest when he noticed a wierd stone poking out of the face of a cliff.

Sadly for him, as quickly as he had taken the stone his foot slipped and he fell from the cliff, though the cliff was solely about 30 ft excessive he tumbled down and his head bashed in opposition to a tree after which all went black. Because it appeared the shock ofimpact had triggered a stroke killing the boy. However via some unusual occasion, Add who had additionally died, his soul by some means took maintain of this physique proper after the unique proprietor’s soul had departed.

And when he lastly thought he would have his relaxation, he discovered himself in a brand new physique in a brand new world.
Add shook his head and stood up. Since he was alive once more he would dwell this life. He straightened his tough garments which have been torn right here and there as a result of fall and determined to move to the close by metropolis the place the earlier proprietor of this physique bought his hunts. Checking his garments Add discovered some copper cash barely sufficient for 2 meals. However then he discovered the small oval black stone the predecessor had died acquiring.
