Chapter 1

Mithra opened his eyes to an unfamiliar ceiling.

I was right?

He automatically released his perception, or tried to, he could not even sense the one bit of air inside the room.

I cannot use perception, it seems I am too weak.

Failing that he used all the senses he could muster to scan his surroundings. From what he could understand ceiling was of rock, and so was the entire room he was in. He could sense this without even seeing it. It had the unique air and feel of a building either made of or carved out of rock.

It seems there is a fair distance to ceiling with room being more than four merters in height but less than five meters, its length should be around ten meters and its witdth is about nine meters. This room is very large, large enough to be called a house in fact, I have known houses that were a lot smaller than this.

Rock, rather than less troublesome and quite frankly more resilient and better materials... If you inspect it there was quite a bit of craftsmanship involved in the room with multiple people working rather than machines because each and every bit of rock bricks are unique... Craftsmanship would be expensive and if it is a show of wealth rock is too cheap a material and is not even showy. this is just common rock!

*Sigh*Let's drop this for now.

Air inside the room should be around eighteen degrees celsius, it is cool The blanket in my hands is made of fur, real fur. The rug is a bear rug, but it is actually much bigger than a bear would be, it is rather gigantic even compared to a bear rug.

Furniture around the room is also wood, again crappy materials and they are handmade, hell if you are going to make a show of wealth actualy use something good looking. He looked around to find a large table and a chair, which again looked comfortable and too big for one person, there were three gardrobes and besides his bed there were two drawers and end tables. Wait, Is that a bronze mirror?

Is someone trying to imitate what a ancient house would look like?

There is a fireplace burning, is this the source of heat here? Since it is not really hot I guess it is winter...

I would try to look outside the house from the windows but they are completely covered. By the amount of sunlight that illuminates the room it should be a sunny day.

Mithra looked at his pale, weak arms, this was the skin of someone who had not seen light of day for a very long time. Needless to say not his own body.

It seems I am reborn again... Though I expected to be reborn as an infant and not a teenager. It seems reincarnation works differently than I thought.

He then tried to access the memories of the body's owner, with little success.

I guess my spirit was greatly weakened by the circumstances of my death. It is taking me this long to truly take over a body and digest the spirit of the owner. I will need to restore my spirit later. For now I should stay here, I do not know what is out there and it is not good for me to come out. Though I do not think I can walk with this body...

He looked at his athrophied body with an analying gaze. He moved his legs and arms. They were very weak. Legs were essential in walking and bore the entire weigth of the body. His body would not be able to handle walking.

This body's Chi is very strange... There are two opposite flows in the body that are fighting each other. I guess this made him sick and unable to even walk which in turn caused muscles to weaken. One can even say this body was on the verge of death before I came, so this body is sickly.

Source of the two opposite flows of chi should be hereditary. He inherited two incompatible, no, outright hostile flows from his parents. Both chi wants to strangle each other to death, truly a strange occurance which would not be possible without some miracle or genetic engineering.

But it should be curable with the understanding toward chi modern science has and could have been cured from the get go in the first place...

Both of these should be affordable to this body's parents seeing they can afford this room is proof enough... Are they trying to kill him by mistreatment?

Or is he actually a experiment made to be disposed of? To find out how two hostile chi can coexist without causing damage? In the first place having two kinds of flow is very dangerious.

Though this is very harmless to me, even beneficial, to this body's original owner it is not.

Regardless, if I become well all of a sudden it might be suspicious.I should know more before I make my move. If they cannot pass my judgement then...

At this point within Mithra a fierce fighting spirit arose and righteous rage clouded his being. As if a fiery tornado was rising in his soul. He grinned from ear to ear, showing his teeth and narrowing his eyes, looking very sinister or mischievous. In his mind echoed one sentence... The sentence that he had screamed countless times.

SWIFT DEATH TO EVIL!

"Yo-Young master! You, you are awake!" came a voice, Mithra instantly turned his eyes to where voice came from. The young man that spoke had a facial expression indicated that the person was pleasantly suprised, as his voice and use of words also showed that he was.

The youth was very tall, about 190 cm in heighth and seemed to be healthy, in contrast to the atrophied body of  Mithra. His flowing platinum blonde hair seemed darked in the dim light. His blue eyes were wide open and one could say they were smiling just like he was. His skin was fair, but not sickly pale like Mithra's skin.

Long eyelashes, pretty face, drooping eyes, his shoulders are not wide and that girly voice... He is even girlier than girls! If only were he not a he! Damn what a waste!

Before Mithra could have said anything however he rushed out of the house  opening the door and allowing Mithra to get a glance of outside, which was a courtyard, revealing what he had thought to be a room was actually a house.

He suddenly unlocked many memories, the identity of the servant and a fact that is extremely shocking even to Mithra...

I am not in my universe anymore?!
