Chapter 1 (A New Beginning)

I couldn't feel my hands or legs, do I even have a body now.

What is this space?, and why am I floating?

This space is too bright. Am I in heaven?

Suddenly, an old man with a strange purple robe appeared

[I am the time sage , your chivalrous deed has attracted my attention and I would like to give you a second chance in an alternate timeline.]

Alternate timelines, I have read about those only in theory, but the possibility of one existing changes my whole understanding of the quantum realm.

Is this a part of the quantum realm?, Is the quantum realm really the heaven?

[Don't waste your time asking questions and trying to understand this world, for this is a space far beyond your mere comprehension]

How did he hear my thoughts, was that telepathy?

[I can't answer all your questions ,for I have far more important things to attend to, I granted you a chance to live again , It is time for you to get reincarnated]

I didn't know how I got here, and he won't answer my questions, who is this time sage? Is he the supreme intelligence who created everything?

Why did I get a second chance, Is this given to every human being?

[Like I said, it is not allowed of me to answer these questions]

I hate it when this guy does this, doesn't he know the meaning of privacy?

Hmm,… not allowed to answer these questions, does that mean that there is a higher power than him?

[Mere mortal !, you have lots of questions which you have no answers to. You may get your answers in the future if you prove yourself useful.]

He is using a 'May' in his answer, which means the probability of me getting answers for these questions would be around 25%, if I go to this world.

How can I prove myself useful?, if I don't have any info on the world, I am going to get reincarnated.

Maybe I shouldn't have accepted it when it asked me whether I want to get reincarnated.

[I will be your guide in the world you are going to get reincarnated in form of a system inside you.

I will answer questions relevant to the world and would help you survive there, but I won't interfere with your decisions or your suicidal activities there.]

Suicidal activities! This guy sure has some crazy talking style.

I wonder what kind of world it would be?

[It's a magical world filled with myths and legends]

Magic? Nothing to do with science. Oh my gosh! how am I going to survive there?

[Your time's up]

What? Wait! I still got lots of questions.

*Swoosh*

------Reincarnation complete-----

*Gush*

I felt slightly feverish. Where am I? What is with the strange feeling, I feel like….

*Gush*

S*** I vomited some blood

I opened my eyes and saw blood gushing out of my side.

I was leaning on a large pillar in an extravagant palace.

What the….

Why is an arrow stuck to my chest, Why can't I get up?

When I died, I had to be burnt alive. Now I am getting reincarnated in a half dead body.

Why is my luck so rotten?

Oh my gosh, what is this pain? It's killing me.

I was loosing blood fast, and I would die in approximately 6 minutes if I don't take care of it.

I didn't know what to do? So I shouted;

[Help me!]

I didn't hear any sounds coming from around me.

I was freaking out, and the pain was killing me.

[Someone, please help me!]

*Gush*

I vomited some blood again

Still no answer, So I gritted my teeth and gathered all my strength.

I broke the wood piece of the arrow stuck to me.

I tore the shirt I was wearing and wound it around my wound and tied it strongly, keeping the arrow piece in, as I knew I would lose blood more profusely if I took it out.

And then I slowly grabbed on to the pillar and stood up, my legs trembled, and I couldn't stand properly, and I fell face down.

S***, the arrow piece went in.

I had to get it out. I wasn't able to breathe properly because it went in and poked my lungs.

Quickly, I turned face up quickly, removed the cloth I tied around and put my hand on the wound and pulled out the arrow piece.

*ARGH*

I shouted out in pain.

The sun was setting down slowly and the light inside was dimming.

The pain in my body had not subsided a bit.

I turned face up and looked at the ceiling.

I could see a bunch of corpses hanging down from the ceiling stuck into a large spear and a rope from the ceiling.

Probably, This guy I have reincarnated into has also entered from above, that's why I couldn't see any doors around here.

My eyesight was crystal clear and I could see all things, at last I was able to see without my glasses.

I was going to get my LASIK done, when I was in my world. But I died, I am happy that I can see properly when I am going to die again.

Please, let an arrow strike me to death!

I can do this anymore. I can't bear this pain.

The light was trickling down. I didn't know how they had created this architecture, but the light lit everything around, even when the intensity of the light had gone down.

It slowly lit up my lost hope.

I can't die now. I was given a chance to live. I must survive somehow.

As I couldn't stand, I started crawling.

Blood was oozing out.

I slowly crawled towards the end of the giant room.

I crawled and crawled and crawled.

Until I couldn't crawl anymore, I didn't have any strength left in me. My body was getting weaker as I had lost even more blood.

I saw a tomb at the end. The intensity of the light had gone even down a little.

I must reach it, no matter what, I don't know what will happen to me.

Likewise, I don't know whether I'll be able to live again happily, But I must not die in vain.

I must use my life to help others. My father and mother didn't give birth to me to die like a dog in this unknown place.

I must find a way out. Must cross this tomb. I am sure there will be a way out.

I started crawling again, I couldn't feel my legs anymore, I could feel my hands getting number, but I didn't stop.

I crawled and reached the tomb.

*Grrr RRR*

Some strange noises came out of the tomb.

(You have successfully completed the ten trials of the sphinx, I shall grant you the power of the greatest hero and the path for a way out.)

What?, I must find a way out quickly, I don't have time to waste.

What are these?

*Grrr*

I could again hear some strange mechanical noises and the light got brighter. I could see a way out.

S***

I am losing my consciousness.

I reached out with my hand and tried to grab the light with my remaining energy.

Furthermore, I saw some silhouettes of persons appearing through the way.

Someone came near me, my eyesight was getting blurry.

[Healers, Come here, heal my brother at once]

{Heal, Heal}

Me… Brother??

He poured something into my mouth.

I fainted.
