Chapter 1: New Face

"It's a great place right?" A teenage boy asked his little brother beside him, as he stood near a cliff and enjoyed the view in front of him

"Yes it is, big brother" The boy replied to his big brother's question

Both brothers' are enjoying the scene of the sun rising in front of them

Seeing the Sunrise in front of him, the little boy said in his mind 'Even though I can't use magic and I am a big disgrace to my family's name still my family loves me a lot. Especially my big brother who always takes me here early in the morning to show me the sunrise'

'I wish I could be like my big brother'

The sun slowly-slowly rises and the whole forest, mountains and everything is covered from the rays of the sun. The scene right now is a beauty of its own world

Seeing this scene the little boy became happy and didn't move his eyes away from the sun

But the rays of the sun were so bright that he had to close his eyes for a second

But at that moment something happened

*whoosh*

When the little boy opened his eyes he felt something was wrong, he was already falling down from the cliff

"how?" The boy asked himself as he falls down

At that moment he saw the face of his big brother which was filled with despair as he kept calling his name "MICHIO"

*thud*

The fall might have taken a few seconds only but to Michio (the little boy who was falling down) it was like an eternity

And then he falls on the ground with his back first and then his head

Michio didn't even get a chance to think much as he was dead already

. . .

Somewhere in the forest-

*whoosh*

"aaaaaaaaa"

A human-shaped object falls on the ground out of nowhere.

"Bwahahahah- hahahahaha – hahahaha"

The moment it landed on the ground, it started laughing out loudly. His laugh was really not a happy one but an evil one

But every time he laughed blood came out more and more from his body

"Fucking demons and gods, trying to seal me" the human-shaped object said out loudly

The person is fully covered in blood right now and has no skin on his body right now

His head is half smashed and there is no eye on his face, just a hole at the place of nose and mouth

As for his body, there is no heart in his chest as it's bare open and only had lungs in it. And he only had one leg

Just describing it is true horror.

The person tried to stand up after cursing gods and demons. But when he tried to stand up, that time he comes to know his condition

"Fuck, my whole body is destroyed," He said to himself as he looked down on his legs and chest

While lying down on the ground, he calmed his breath and remained silent for a while and tried to cast some healing spells

A second passed

A minute passed

Many-many minutes passed

"FUCK, are you kidding me? Why the hell can't I use magic?" the man asked himself as he tried to do something

"It's ok, calm down. Maybe it's a world where I have to chant spell"

The reason why he is sure about this world having magic is due to him being able to sense mana around him.

He took a long breath and in a calm tone, he said "Great magic: Super heal"

*whoo*

The wind blew

A second passed

A minute passed

Many minutes passed

"FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK"

And the man continued cursing

. . .

After some long curses to gods and some other people, finally, he calmed down.

"What the hell should I do now? I can't use my magic so I can't heal my body, though it will eventually heal over time it will take many years and I can't stay in one place forever in this skeleton form"

The man said to himself as he didn't know what else he should do

His body parts are barely hanging with each other so, he can't move much as there is a big chance his whole body parts will start falling here and there

*thud*

"hmmm" Suddenly a voice falls into his ears.

It was as if something has fallen on the ground with a big impact

At first, our skeleton man stayed in his initial place and didn't even try to move but a second passed by and curiosity took over him

"Whatever, It's not like I am gonna die I am immortal after all" the skeleton man said to himself and then with his left hand he started dragging his body towards the source of noise

The place wasn't far, only 5 minutes away, so he didn't need to drag his body for a long time

But when he reached the place, where the noise came, he saw a kid's body.

Blood was spilled everywhere.

"tch-tch, dying so early? So sad" He said as he looked at the dead kid

Suddenly his eye socket lit up as if he had remembered something

"Wait, he is dead. I think I can use that skill at least" He said

Though there were no lips on his face, if there was, surely he would be smiling right now

The man slowly-slowly dragged his body near to kids and then placed his left-hand palm on his head.

And then he said "Forbidden Skill: Fusion of life"

*whooooooooooooooooo*

Soon, the whole body of the kid started disappearing and the man's body started having changes

From the palm, which was on the kids head, his hands started having nerves skins and it kept on continuing towards his whole body

One thing to note was that the man's body also started decreasing in height. It was taking the shape of that kid who is dead

Soon, his whole body was covered in new skin and his head now had a face, but looking at the size of body and face, without a doubt it belonged to someone else

*long breathing*

*long breathing*

"Now I feel great," The man said as he kept taking a long breath

"Huh?" Suddenly his head was filled up with many images

"So this is the memory of this kid? Interesting"

The man is now the kid who has fallen from the cliff.

The man looked at his hand and then his body, which was naked, and with a smile, he said "I should wear some clothes"
