Inside a dilapidated and plain room with one end of the rooftop having a large hole, Aprilynne held her head in pain while using the other hand to try rub the pain away which seems to work because after sometime, the pain started easing and she could finally concentrate on where she is now.
As someone who knew she already died, she could still feel her heart beating now talk-less of after looking around the environment, she knows this is not her home at once.
feeling the memories that poured into her mind, Aprilynne quickly concentrated on these unknown memories and watched them replaying as if like a movie whose protagonist isn’t her.
after a while, Aprilynne finally sorted everything out after watching the memories like movie and the final conclusion she came up with was just one word: Fuck!
how can someone not swear if you know you died and instead of reincarnating, you got time travelled and the place and body you got time travelled into isn’t in a good position which meant struggling from the bottom rug before you can get anything useful done.
struggling from the bottom isn’t a bad thing but what if where you are located is a barren place and everyone here doesn’t even know when they would die since they struggle to even find food and clothing for themselves.
this place that she is located in right now is one of the barren planets belonging to the Tahoma galaxy which is one of the ten galaxies belonging to the Imperial Alliance.
to understand everything, let’s go back to world recollection;
- a severe pollution suddenly appeared on Earth and the whole world governments came together to discuss and the final result is to put money and power together thus create more weapons and things to protect human beings using the many scientists from all over the world since humans were facing peril but in the end, this didn’t succeed since it seems the earth is dying thus entered the futuristic chapter of human lives when the earth self destructed itself after human left it leaving only time fragments of the past floating in space.
- humans created space vessels to take them into the sky to look for more habitable planets like Earth and they finally found it but to stay there, fighting with its inhabitants is inevitable thus causing the human populations to shrink.
- although humans were able to survive in this kind of planet but since their bodies were not used to it, all sorts of problems came out along with the war with the inhabitants who seems to despise the weak humans and seek their annihilation, the scientists finally came up with a way to stop the shrinking population and that is to turn humans into boron based.
- this worked and human populations finally stopped shrinking and they awakened mental abilities, spiritual abilities and physical abilities and created mecha that could help them in fights thus the inhabitants finally stopped their preying causing humans to develop into the cosmic era.
- during the long war, human technology finally caught up with that of aliens whom they were fighting with through studying their equipment when they get their hands on them and their Wifi was finally strong enough to connect with the intergalactic one la thus giving them enough information on how to improve further.
- during the early cosmic era, the human galactic alliance with aliens was formed but there was half of the humans who disagreed with forming alliance with the aliens who preyed on them when they first came thus causing their populations to shrink thus came human turbulence and the final result is the half of human populations cutting themselves off and thus forming their own federal alliance which quickly grew stronger thus causing the galactic alliance to break apart.
- it took a while but everything was put together again and the imperial alliance was thus formed along with aliens from the ruins of the galactic alliance. They became stronger and today, both the federal alliance and the imperial alliance have ten galaxies under them with countless planets both fertile and none fertile located inside of them.
the Tahoma galaxy that she is located is very famous for its minerals but there is also more barren planets with nothing in them thus causing banished people and it’s original inhabitants people to live here and have nothing to live for because life here is really hard and if you want to leave here, it is also very hard because your talent has to be amazing enough to be noticed by people in the inner city of this barren planet thus maybe they can sponsor you so that when you grow up, you can come help the planet which is not bad of a choice because the original owner of this body heard the discussion about two or three other planets like this suddenly standing due to picking up a child who awakened strong powers thus promoted to the military academy to study and thus requesting of the government to help the planet he/she lived in before.
with all these news from the memories of the original owner who died due to fever without care, she Aprilynne can’t do it because despite being happy and grateful for the time travelling chance she got because in her previous life, she was a struggling actress on the 18th line and she even had a dream of singing but unfortunately, her voice didn’t match up to the big dream and even though she knows a lot of recipes for cooking, she rarely cooks and likes eating out with the money she got from live streaming her self eating to make little money instead of waiting for the salary of 18th line which is pitifully small.
she just doesn’t know what to do now because according to the memories, human technologies has evolved and so many things seen in fiction has come to life but because she is living here on this barren star that is so backward and alone at that, she doesn’t even know where to start complaining.

Stolen novel; please report.
she couldn’t take it anymore! She has to go find food for herself before coming back to think of what to do next.
having thought of this, Aprilynne immediately started searching the room for any sharp object she can use to fend of any beast even though it won’t have much effect if they really want to eat her since she looks so skinny, bony and short like a twelve years old girl instead of a sixteen years old girl but it will give herself a peace of mind.
having checked and re-checked but no sharp object is found, Aprilynne felt like cursing again! How did the original owner live up to today? No sharp object so how did she cut things? feeling her emotions going out of control, Aprilynne took a deep and more deeper breath before she regained her sanity because everything before her is just so depressing!
having calmed down, Aprilynne decided to re-comb through the received memories to see if she missed anything and after a while, Aprilynne can feel the corner of her twitching uncontrollably because it really is almost maddening! Ever since her parents died, all she just do is wait to die because while food are scarce, expired nutrient solution is of the lowest grade is sometimes found in the garbage heap where garbages from outside the planets are dumped and there maybe good things in but the real matter is that this girl has only ever eaten nutrient solution and nothing else!
even if her own cooking stink, it is still better than eating expired nutrient solution that sometimes never even appears in the garbage heap along with many people fighting for them with you.
“no! I have to go to the mountain!” the forest she saw in the memories is so lush and no one from this barren star knows how to cook anything more than nutrient solution along with engineered potatoes which is easy to plant, yield many and easy to roast.
having searched and found nothing that is of use, Aprilynne walked out of the dilapidated house in her old worn and torn one piece cloth she was wearing. She walked along the dusty road while looking everywhere that has the same house looking exactly like hers if not worse and sighed in depression for people living in it and for herself
after walking for a while and for a while, I mean for a long time because she had to cross the stream that seems to have fishes but there could be water beasts that like hiding in water to ambush people and they are also poisonous thus people in this planets never touches the animals in water for eating because they can’t distinguish which one is poisonous and which one is not but the original owner heard from the old banished people saying that in prosperous planets, there are machine specialised in identifying these star beasts whether from land, air or water if they are poisonous so they could be cooked by chefs thus making the chef profession be revered among people because they can bring out the energy from these beasts and carnivorous plants through cooking and these energies can boost the abilities of any beings.
reaching outside the forest, Aprilynne took a deep breathe to stop her aching heart while trying to rest her body because running in this skinny malnourished body really almost took half of her life. After a while, Aprilynne looked around her to see if any beasts is around and seeing nothing, she took a deep breathe and started stealthily walking into the forest trying not the make a noise and alert the beasts that has sharp ears because it won’t be good for her.
At the peripheral of the forest, Aprilynne can already see lush tress with fruits but she can’t see which type of fruit it is but it doesn’t matter because she is really hungry! What Aprilynne doesn’t know is that the reason why people don’t enter the forest to scavenge for fruits is because most of them are poisonous and identifying the one that is not poisonous without machine, it needs to be eaten and no one wants to play with their lives but it doesn’t matter to Aprilynne even if she knows because she would rather die eating than not eating anything and become a hungry ghost which doesn’t stand up to her at all!
after walking slowly and carefully not to make noise, Aprilynne finally reached one the trees which is really tall! So, Aprilynne started her career of climbing the tall tree to reach the fruits thus causing her already dry and malnourished skin to be scratched by the tree skin causing her pain but it doesn’t matter to her now because she must reach the fruits at all cost!
after climbing, falling and more climbing and falling with her skin bleeding, she, Aprilynne finally learned how to climb a tree and at last reached the tree fruits! When Aprilynne touched one of the fruits, she wanted to cry for joy because right now, all her thoughts is that it is worth it because this fruit looks like a red apple!
“ it is so beautiful and shinny!” Aprilynne murmured quietly while drooling at the fruit looking apple she was currently holding and without further ado, Aprilynne took a bite and immediately, the sweet taste of the fruit burst inside her mouth and overwhelmed her senses causing tears to fall from her eyes because it really taste too good and it is even more tasty than apple she has eaten in her previous life!
having had a taste of one, Aprilynne couldn’t contain herself anymore and thus started eating one fruit after another in a fast pace not worrying whether she would burst or not from eating too much. Having eaten several dozen before her stomach started protesting, Aprilynne finally held her belly in satisfaction but then she suddenly looked up and saw that the tree is still full of fruits that is half green and the remaining the red ones she just ate and began thinking how to bring the red ones back not knowing that she just dodged getting the poisonous green ones that many people had eaten and died from due to hunger.
seeing nothing on herself that can be used to bring the fruits back, Aprilynne fell silent for a moment before her eyes suddenly brightened from the the idea that suddenly came into her mind! Aprilynne climbed down slowly from the tree and slowly and noiselessly and finally found fallen dried vines and leaves which made her sigh in relief.
she quickly collected the things she found and walked back to tree to start weaving them in a small basket that she could carry. After weaving for a while and seeing that the fruits won’t fall from the basket, Aprilynne re-climbed the tree while she left the basket on the base of the tree and after she reached the treetop, she started picking the red fruits near her while trying to drop in down as noiselessly as possible and after dropping close to ten of it, she finally heaved a relieved sigh and climbed down to pick the fruits on the floor and into the woven basket and started her path of dragging the heavy basket home while passing people looked at her with numb faces but were sighing inside their mind, ‘another one is going to die of poison again!’ before leaving.
