Prologue

I opened my eyes slowly. I was lying on a large soft bed. I stood up and realized something major had changed. I got shorter. I’m a big guy. I’m almost 7ft. tall, now I'm like 5ft.  I looked down at my hands. No callouses. I reached up to my face. So soft, no wrinkles. That can only mean one thing. “It worked! It worked! Yahoo!” The Body Possession succeeded.

“Young Master, are you okay?”(Mysterious Voice).

A middle-aged man with a head full of black hair speckled with grey rushed into the room. He was wearing formal attire and I can see a well developed body through his clothes.

Who is this? He refers to me as Young Master, so I must be a noble’s son or someone similar. He's too well built to be a regular person, he could be a butler or bodyguard of some kind. What do I do?I have no idea what my name is or who this it. My Body Possession skill should have given me the memories of this body, did something go wrong?

 All of sudden a splitting headache coursed through mind, and a sudden rush of vertigo sat me back on my bed. “Arrgh!” I clutched at my head with my hands as memories that weren’t mine started appearing in my head.

“Young Master!”(Middle-aged Man)

He rushed toward me, concern in his eyes to check to see if I was okay. I took my hands of my head, memories still coming, but I’m doing my best to look like I’m fine. “I’m okay Tomas, just a headache.”

“Are you sure Young Ma..”(Tomas)

“I said I’m fine Tomas, get out!”

Tomas left the room with a distraught expression on his face, but I’m too busy sifting through these memories to care. I'm the eldest son, Halister Vitruvius Maxwell, of the Earl and Countess, Marcus and Lily Maxwell. That man who was just inside was Tomas, my bodyguard and my personal butler.

That aside where am I? When I was a soul escaping, I mean tactically retreating, from the gods, it got hard to keep track of where I was. Oh? I’m still on the Agora continent, is that good or bad? It might make it easier for those Gods to find me…..It’ll be fine, I lost there trail long ago.

I started to stretch and do some light exercises to get accustomed to my new body. I'm so slow! It's gonna take me months to get this body in shape. I choose a noble’s body because it would make it easier to get resources to train, but my god! Did this boy do nothing but sit on his butt all day? It would explain why I’m so freaking chubby. Let me check my status and see what I'm working with. “Status!”

Some of them must have crossed over with me.

“Sigh.” When I saw my sealed titles and lowered skills, I wasn't mad. I actually expected it, with my stats lowered to such an extreme, some of my titles could no longer apply, and because of my new body, majority of the skills I learned would have to be re-learnt. Because I’ve already learn the skills before it’ll be easier to learn them again, but it's still going to take so much time! Even my Drinking skill’s gone, I almost had it max level too! At least Body Possession leveled up. I still can't believe it worked. The chance of success was so low. I looked at Body Possession in the skill window.

Body Possession:

Abandon your flesh and become a soul adrift. You may possess the bodies of living. Bodies that are recently deceased or debilitating conditions are recommended as they will have almost a guaranteed chance of success. Any living thing that does not meet these criteria, including species outside of your own will have a 40% chance of success. Chance of success can only drop due to level difference. If Possession succeed you will absorb the memories of the individual. If Possession fails, individual can absorb your memories and you can cease to exist.

I couldn't be picky about who I chose while I was being chased and I was lucky to find anyone.Too bad the system doesn’t consider laziness and pampered a debilitating condition, but whatever. I got up of the bed.

“Regardless, this is my body now, let’s get back in shape.

Tomas!”

He comes busting into the room once again.

“Yes Young Master?”(Tomas)

“It has come to my attention that I’m in a disgusting, gluttonous, naïve, pampered excuse of a body.”

“Young Master that’s not true, yes you’re a little chubby around the tummy area but your face is really handsome and you’re loved by ever…” (Tomas)

“Shut up.” Tomas looks taken back.

“I’m still talking. You think you’d know better.” Tomas’s face has changed from one of confusion to one of worry.

“As I was saying if I want to get this glob of flesh in shape I require some help from you: Tell the Chef to start preparing nutritious meals from now on, Tell mother and father I’m not to bothered from now on, I’m going to be too busy training to worry about them.

“Wait, what?”(Tomas)

“That is all Tomas, you may leave.”

“Young Master wait a second, you’ve been acting very strange I think we should get you to a healer.”(Tomas)

God the servants in this house are so poorly trained. I blame the Hal boy, always so nice with them. They should know there place.

“Tomas you have been dismissed yet you’re still standing here, you need to understand, I’m a noble, you're just a butler, do what your told and GET OUT BEFORE I FIRE YOU!.”

“Yes young master, as you wish.”(Tomas) Tomas walked out of the room, his concern and confusion evident on his face.

It’s been a great day so far. I put a servant in his place, I successfully possessed as body, and I lost the gods trail. It won’t be long now. In a couple of years I’ll have surpassed my former self. After that I’ll knock those arrogant Gods of their pedestals.
