Chapter 1 : To Live Again

"You worthless scum, can you do anything right?" A middle age man throwing some paper at a younger man.

"Im sory sir, i will fix it right away" the young man hurryly said while going back to his table.

'Again, i only make small mistake why that old goat always try to scold me?'

My name is nanda, right now im 25 years old. Im just an ordinary salary man without anything to achieve.

I live alone since my parents live in country side, no lover no bestfriend. Sometimes im thinking what is the meaning of life.

I mean we 'human' can live with the lowest minimun necessity. As long we can eat, bath and sleep we can survive.

Why did the country claim this land as their own and take tax from people? I mean the world is created by the god (as religion said) not by those people that call themself goverment.

'Hhhhhh its no use to complain, better get this thing down'

Nanda finish his job and when the time come he going home, after arrive at his almost look like a shack house, he take a bath watching some news and go to sleep.

That is the summary of his everyday life.

Next day when he just arrive at his office he meet the only reason he goes to work.

"Hey Lena, good morning" he greet her with beaming smile

"Good morning nanda, how was your day yesterday, i heard you got scold again by the boss?" She said while looking worried.

"Nah its fine, its just like usual" he reply

"Ok then, good luck for today we must do our best for today, bye" Lena leave after syaing god bye to him.

Nanda know her when they still little, they go to the same school until middle shcool, even though he never said it, but he already like her since little.

But after graduate from middle school her family move to another city, thus he think he will never meet her again.

But fate said otherwise. After along time he meet her again in this place, she also work in here only in another division.

'After so many years she became even more beautiful' nanda remember they often play together when they still a kid.

After meeting her in this place he doesnt waste any time and talk to her, and it seem she still remember him even though nanda never ask her about relationship.

After some time nanda find out she also life alone, so he try to ask her about her house. But everytime he ask her she always dodge the question.

'Well next sunday is her birthday i will bring A cake to her home later' he pass the day while thinking what gift she want.

When sunday come.

"Ok now is the time. Cake, check. Gift, check. Dress, check. Ok im ready"

Nanda already i front of her house that day, just like his plan he will come and surprise her. Maybe after this their relationship will get better.

He push the bell a few times, but there still no answer from her

'Wait what if something happen to her? What if she's sick? Or there some robber ?' After thinking kike that nanda face bacame pale and he hurriedly goes inside her house.

'Weird its not locked, something must really happen' nanda walk inside the house with caution.

Then he heard some noise from inside the house. He follow that sound and getting paller everytime he get closer because he know this kind of voice.

When he arrive at the door of a room that look like a bedroom his face already became white as if doesnt have any blood.

He slowly open the door and toom a peek inside.

What he found is something which destroy his last trustof humanity.

There he saw his the woman who always inside his dream, the woman who give the reason for him to keep moving, the woman who he trully love making love with another man.

Right now her position is on top of said man, even thought he can only saw her face a little bit, but he sure that not a face a woman would make if they got raped.

Whats more the man beneth her is someone he know, because that man is his shitty boss who always try to gett on his bad side.

He slowly withdraw, his eyes doesnt have any track of tears but both his eyes red like he never close his eyes for a week.

He put the cake and gift that he prepared in the table and with face that look like a deadman he slowly go fromt that house.

With blank mind he keep walking without any regard to his surrounding.

In the corner of the city. There exist a famous house or to be more exact a very famous haunted house. Its more like a villa than a house since its so big, its surround by 5 meters wall, large front and back yard.

In the past lots of people came here to tes their courage, but after incident 10 years ago, no body dare to coming here again.

10 years ago a group of teenager came here to tes their courage, they even bring some hnadycam to record their activity.

But something terrible happen, at midnight something show up and kill everyone there. Nobody knows what is it because from the footage of victim all can be seen is a shadow.

Something move so fast that alll of the handycam cant catch its movement, all its can catch is only its shadow.

The body of all this teenager found by some teenager that come there. For few weeks police do some investigation but they cant find any clue.

One of the victim even call some dukun (spirit expert) to investigate it.

After 6 month with no clue, all investigation is stopped, from that day onwards nobody dare to go there again. Even though some part of the wall is colapse no body get near or try to test their courage again.

After more than 10 hours of walking, nanda arrive in this place. Since his mind in a daze he never watch where he is going nor he check his surrounding.

When he saw a place with no body around, out of desperation he goes there walking inside the house.

He walk inside and find himself in a room with a sofa. He sat there for few hours until his stomach let out a growl sound.

"Where am i ?" He study his surounding.

"Why i'm here? This room is so creepy, aside from this sofa and few painting, nothing is here. And since nobody chase me out thats mean this is a house without a owner" he try to anylise.

"From the condition of my stomach and the dark night outside. Its must be around midnight right now"he walk to the windows and look outside.

"Its full moon tonight, the moon is so beatiful too bad i enjoy it alone" his gaze fall at the moon.

Not long after he enjoying the moon he heard something from inside the room.

Wondering, he walk to check the sound.

Normaly in this kind of place and condition he will be scared, so scared he wont be able to move. But right now his heart just got broken and he cant thinking straight.

Thats why witout fear he walk to the sofa and begin to investigate it.

There beneth the sofa he found a small button, without hestitation he oush that button.

'Kreeeaaakkkk' he heard some weird sound from the corner of this room.

When he chek it at the corner of the room he found a staircase that lead down.

"Hmmmm what is this, why there's a staircase here? And from all the dust it must be untouch for years"

The condition of the room, even though its in bad condition and lots of dust pile up but the dust is not that much. And you can still saw lots of foot print in this room.

But this hidden staircase is different, you cant see any foot print in the stairs.

He took out his mobile phone and saw 20 misscall and 12 massage from lena. He ignor it all and activate the flash light function on his phone.

The staircase is higher than he first estimate, its goes down for more than 40 meters.

When he arrive at the basement he got shocked because he saw a very ancient basement. All the stuff in here at least not from 100 years back.

Because he didnt recognize anything in here and all the stuff here looks so old fashioned.

The basement itself around 50 meters square with no windows. But the air here is not bad.

'Hmmm maybe there some mechanism to get fresh air from outside. That aside why nobody never find this place?' Little nanda know, to open the staircase someone must push the button under the sofa which only activate at the night of full moon.

Some people find the button but when they push it nothing is happen, because they push it not at the night of the full moon.

'Hmmmm what's that?' At the corner of the room he found something weird.

There lies a table but on that table lies a body, a dead body.

That body have burn skin all over his body. Its already like a charcoal.

Only thanks to its silouete nanda recognize it as a human.

'Why is there a body here?' Nanda try to study the body, when his phone light arrive at its chest he can saw some glittering there.

He look closely and found something like a crystal at the size of a child palm.

The crystal look like a crystalize ice and have transpalant outline. But the weird thing is in the middle of the crystal he can saw some black liquid moving around.

After he took the crystal from the body. Tha body started to turn into ash.

Watching that nanda have some weird urge to put the crystal into his chest.

He put his phone on the table, and started to undress. Then he put the crystal into his bare chest.

The crystal started to make some light and suddenly his chest feels like its burning.

"Aaaaaggggghhhhhttttt" because of the pain nandz scream on top of his lung.

After some times he lose his consciusness.

When he wake up he found out he cant move his limbs.

'What.... what happen to me? Why i cant move my arms and legs?' With great effort i succesfully move my head to right side.

What i saw nearly make my heart stop, 'my arm, is that even my arm? Its a BABY arm, why i have a baby arm im a fucking 25 years old. Is this a dream? Or is i, getting my self into reincarnation?'

At first i cant believe my new 'reality' but alas, like it or not i must accept it.

I was born into a family of noble my father is knight by the name of rayleigh or is know as 'black sword'.

From story my mother told me (as a bedtime story) my father a little famous as adventurer when he is younger, even right now he already warior of late 7th stage.

My mother also used to be famous magician, she's a magician with light element, and she known as white lady. Right now she at early 8th stage.

By the way.

In this world aside feom human, there exist another race like elf, beast even demon.

Those 3 is the most populace race in this world. Aside from 4 major race there exist lots more minor race.

But those minor race rarely show up in public, so little is knonw about them.

I learn from my mother that in this world strengh is the most important thing. Sure you will have great benefit if you have high wisdom, but in the end strengh is the one that will decide everything.

In here there is 2 way to gain strengh.

First is to became warior. A wariror rely on their physical strenght to fight, they have high brute force and usualy have high speed and defense.

Second is to became magician. A magician rely on their spiritual force to fight, they chanel their spiritual force using spell to attack their enemy.

If compare between both, usually magician will lose when doing 1 on 1. Because magican need time to chant their spell.

Someone power no matter as warior or magician is measured using level.

If someone want to be warior or magician, they can go to those respective temple to apply. There they will be tested if they have the qualification or not.

When they pass the tes they will became 1st stage of warior or magician.

Once a year there will be test in a temple, if someone feel they already strong enough they can try to take the test again to see if they already rank up or not.

Rank up is range until level 9. Some people is said already reach a level above 9, these people called 'saint'

These people hve same characteristic. They can fly.

Usuly only magician with wind element using rank 5 floating wind can float in the air. And when they using rank 7 wind spell 'soaring wind' they can fly freely in the sky.

But a saint regardles magician or warior any element can freely fly in the sky.

But alas, even to rank up from rank 1 to rank 2, ordinary people will need at least 1 year to rank up and from rank 2 to rank 3 they will need 2 years for rank up. And every rank up will need double effort from before.

I dont know why, but i can understand the local human language here.

My family as far as i know my family have 3 maid, 2 human and 1 beast.

At first i though there will be enmity between race, but its turn out that era is already long gone. Now most of all race live in harmony.

There it is, sumary of my new world, im gonna try to live the way i want in this live.
