Max slowly opened his sore eyes after some time. His whole body ached, particularly his head. It felt as if he had a severe migraine and had random things crammed into his brain.

I was died right? So where is this?

Looking around, only towering trees appeared in his vision. He was completely puzzled looking at these huge towering trees.

Max's head started aching fiercely at the moment. After he clutched his head and wailed in pain for a while, he felt that he had learned many new things.

Half an hour later...

Max was dumbfounded. He thought that reincarnation was happened in Legend, Legend says that if a divine masters died, he/she can release his/her soul and get him/herself to be reincarnated, how could it had happened to himself ? And he had reincarnated into a foreigner’s body.

Max’s eyes had slowly adjusted to the darkness by now. He loosened his limbs and brought his right arm in front of his eyes. He looked over his body.

This body really wasn’t his. A gobsmacked Max realized he had really taken over someone else’s body…

Stein.. Stein.. Stein.. So this guy's name is Stein. Thought Max

Although Stein was already dead, Max knew Stein's past for some reason. Max even knew that he had reincarnated to a strange world named the Cloud Continent, in an unfamiliar country called the Luth Empire. And this forest is Magical Beasts' Forest.

In this world I don't  want to fought with Demon King again, uhh.. Dammit.. I remembered that scene I got stabbed.

Stein’s parents had passed away got attacked by bandits when he was only ten years old, and because his body has affinity for dark element, he got saved by teacher of Zeagrorth, Academy Of Magics, he got himself studied in necromancy departement and his life had been dark ever since.

Stein had died when he was 15 years old. Because he was weak kid and his cowardice, He had got bullied in necromancy department.

In those five years he got bullied, students majoring in necromancy would often use him as target practice to test the battle abilities of their latest experimental skeletons or wraiths, or try out necromancy magics directly on him.

The weak and cowardly Stein had suffered through a living hell in the past five years. His body was covered with countless scars and bruises. Necromancy students would practice on Stein whenever they lost a magic battle against the other majors.

A 15 years old youth, five years of torment. How cruel was this for a child?

Stein constantly thought of committing suicide. However, in his cowardice, he could not even find the courage to kill himself. And so he silently endured five years of torture.

Finally, on the previous day, someone summoned a wraith and invaded his soul, because his body and soul had been tortured many years, his soul can't hold anymore and he had died. Stein felt no pain upon death, just the sad joy of release.

The students's slave threw him onto Magical Beasts’ Forest which was filled with terrifying magical beasts in hope his corpse got eaten by magical beast.

Max felt his life was miserable enough already when he was got betrayed, but when compared to Stein, Max teared up a little.

In my past life I had killed lots dark magicians, necromancers, death knights, elder lichs, every evil beings and then Demon King. But right now I have become one of that. What the hell!

" Stein, what I can do for you ? Now that I have occupied your body? "

Then Max murmured...

" Zeagrorth academy huh? Relax Stein I will have revenge for you to that academy, especially students in necromancy department , I will make their life suffer like they did to you"

" Right now I must thinking how to go out from this place "

Max ached all over (Stein had a lot of old injuries before his death). Pain shot through his body as he attempted to stand up, so he hastily sat down after crying out, "Ow!"

" Dammit.. This damn body, if I still in my previous body even someone in a brink death as long as he/she still breathed I can make him/her healthy again in a jiffy "

" Wait a minute!! " Max cried out

If I remembered correctly, I had reached  Grand Guardian because I had very high affinity with light element. Right now my soul had transmigrate to this body, I think my soul still had light element, I will try it. Thought Max

Max channeled his mana, he placed his hand into his stomach and then he chanted «Heal». A light surrounds his stomach, and the wound in his stomach slowly disappear.

" Hahaha, genius I am really a genius. I was right, I can use my light magic! A necromancer that can use dark and light magic, how amusing is that! " Max laughing

Then he chanted «Purify», but nothing happened.

" Huh? Why nothing happened? " Max pondered

Then he channeled his mana again, he found his mana almost dried up. He found that this body had mana pool of magic apprentice. To use «Purify» you must have minimum mana pool of senior mage.

" My mana pool is so low, I couldn't use «Purify»"

Max pondered, I must raise my mana pool to senior mage and strengthen this weak body to level intermediate warriors body before I go out this place. In my past life I had lots enemies of dark magicians, necromancers, and every evil beings. My teacher had said " Know your self, know your enemies and you will win hundred battles", because of that words I had studied for dark magic, curse magic and summoned magic. I don't dare to imagine that knowledge of my past, really helps me a lot in this life.
