It was one dark night in the month of December and it was unusually cold. The atmosphere was dull and the streets were quite empty. Not many people were there. It was 5 days prior to Christmas.

"so, what are you going to do?" A man asked, looking at a woman. The man was handsome. His appearance was contrary to the woman he was talking to. She wasn't very beautiful and had hair as black as Raven's feather. Her facial features weren't something that would appeal to many men. Anyone who saw them together would quickly deduce that they were just friends and nothing more than that.

"Me? As usual, staying at home and doing my thing," she replied nonchalantly. The man had red hair which resembled burning fire, which was quite uncommon, his pair of light-green jaded eyes made him stand out everywhere he went. His hair was maintained. He was in his formal attire, wearing black shirt pants which made him look like that one bad-ass character in manhwa where the main lead is a female. He also had a robust, fine-tuned body. Many women lusted over his body, but he remained oblivious to this fact due to his dense personality.

"I have told you so many times, try to go out and talk more to people!" he said with a wavy tone in his words, at the same time scolding her for not listening to him.

"At least you should know your friends. They show clear hostility towards me. You can't be that ignorant, can you?" she said, as she began to walk faster.

The man also increased his pace of walking. "Hostility? they are pretty nice from what I see," he said, looking at her.

"Since you don't understand, I can't be bothered to explain you," she said looking down, her voice wavered, it sounded as if she was about to cry. She walked swiftly looking down.

"wait!" the man shouted but the woman didn't listen to him at all and continued walking. The wind sighed through as the situations unfolded. One second she was walking, the next second her body lied on the ground, as the dark crimson fluid flowed from her body, surrounded her lifeless body which was in pain.

"ATHENA!" the man shouted as he ran towards her. The man quickly pulled out his mobile and called emergency services. He yelled at them for sending an ambulance quickly to the designated address. He did it, but yet he knew that it would be a miracle if she survived. She had just gotten hit by a speeding truck, which ran over her as if she were an insect. The driver didn't stop but kept driving. The man then proceeded to call the cops as he tried to sense her breathing and if she was alive.

"...." he stood there motionless, speechless. As if his voice got stuck in the throat. His eyes said everything. Fear flashed in his eyes, his body was cold from the scene he had witnessed. She was no more.

"What... just happened?"

"why is it so quiet suddenly"

"where am I?"

These thoughts appeared in the mind of the woman who had no longer a physical body but now was a soul. While she was trying to figure out what was going on around her, a strong force started pulling the whitish weak soul of the woman. It was as if something called her, it didn't desire her but at the same time was desperate for her.

She teleported to somewhere else, she could sense it but not see it since she had no physical body. She felt the vibrations of people screaming, war cries, death cries, sword clashing vibrations. It was a scene of war. Strangely enough, the soul could see one person. A female figure who seemed like the leader of one side.

"how pretty...." she thought as she looked at the feminine figure who boldly gave orders to people. Wielding a sword, as she marched forward on her horse. Her shiny blonde hair was tied to make it easier to fight. She had a pair of blue eyes that resembled sapphire.

Suddenly, she got hit by an arrow and she fell from her house. Athena's soul gasped as she saw the scene. It was as if she were really watching a fantasy movie. The blonde girl didn't scream, she simply raised her hand. "time.... restore," she mumbled. The next thing that happened was, everything began going back to their original places. However, the princess stayed on the ground, the arrow on her didn't go away too. The interesting part was, the soldiers who died at that specific time were now back alive. She reversed the time!

When things returned to normal, she quickly picked up her sword and started massacring the enemy soldiers. She quickly got rid of as many soldiers as she could. The arrow once more flew in her direction, but she quickly noticed and shattered it into two pieces. She then continued to kill the enemy soldiers. Her hair, which was blonde before the battle had begun was now bathed in blood. It had turned from blonde to crimson. Her sword techniques emitted something.

"Is that what they call sword aura in the manhwa?" the soul thought to herself.

Just after she stopped, she was surrounded. Six hooded men and women surrounded her. Athena's vision began to become a blur. The girl who was clearly visible to her started to fade. In her last moments, she saw the girl shouting and............ and?

"Huh?!" The child quickly woke up from her dreams. Her heart was racing. She placed her hands on the chest, trying to process what just had happened.

She noticed her hands had grown short, and her legs too. No, it wasn't just the arms and legs but the entire body that had shrunk. She felt somewhat weak. Before she could try to process anything, something appeared in front of her eyes.[Welcome to Astrapulis, Player]
