I open my eye finding myself floating up in the sky. I feel energy filled within mineself. They came from the surrounding people from bellow. Rising their arms, they transfered their power to me. This energy makes my body feel stronger, albeit the itch they come up with. In front of me I saw a giant, really humongous symbol made of strands of golden light. I don’t really understand what the symbol meant but I somehow know it was a seal of some sort,  and it very likely a powerfull seal. I saw the barrier begining to craked and oozing mist of dark miasma.

I panicked when the miasma reach me and decide to bail but I can’t move by body, I try to scream but my mouth unmoving. When the mist touch me, it dissipated into nothing. It seems like the energy protecting me from whatever this thing is. Suddenly my body decide to move forward by their own. I tried to stop but it seems the body have a mind of their on. I felt like in a first person spectator mode when you died in an FPS game, only this time I can’t even change prespective.

I somehow know what this body want to do. It want to get close to the giant symbol so it can transfer the energy it accumulated to somehow fixed the seal. All this foreign knowledge drive me nuts! I’m not even sure if this is actually my body. How do I even got here in the first place anyway?

When this outstreched arm almost touching the seal, I hear a deafening shout that almost break my ears. The body make a 180 degree and look below. I genuinly suprised when I found out I was around 5000 km above the ground, even more so to the person who make that shout earlier, they got one hell of a lung. I saw a beautiful woman being restrained by 50 or so people to no avail. The woman make a rush while screaming something at me, or at least the owner of this body. I don’t know what she saying because she spoke in a language foreign to me, however I can somehow know how she felt.

By her speaking tone, I can feel anger mixed with worries and sorrow. I saw tears fall from her dazzling blue eyes. It seems like the girl is my, or this body’s, girlfriend or something along the line. Bet even girls will fall for her charm. Which remind me, I don’t even know what I look like currently.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

I feel my face twitch into a smile, anyone can feel a change in their own face if you asking, after that the body turn back again facing the seal and touch it. The energy around and inside me sudenly being sapped by whatever element in the seal. My head become dizzy and my sight turn hazy but the body still don’t let go.

At some point, my body begining to crack while the crack in the seal filled in with the energy, I think. An absurd amount of pain coursing through me yet this body didn’t even scream. In fact, the smile in  turn into a wide grin while a bit of chuckle come out of the mouth..... wait? CRACK?! THE BODY IS CRACKING?!?! WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS BODY DOING?!?!

Now that I mention it, it all make sense. The crying lady, the energy I received, the broken seal being restored, everything become clear!

I’M A SACRIFICE TO RESTORE THIS SYMBOL THAt probably meant to protect this world or something, maybe, i’m not sure. I’m more of a Sci-fi type of guy, this is some magical fantasy bullshit.

So this is how my life ends. Wake up to find out i’m in a body of another person while said person still retain their conciousness unaware of my presence and is going to sacrifice themself like a noble hero or the like. Well, at least now I finally understand the phrase ‘at the wrong time and place’, hate those language class. Or is it philoshopy? Who cares, i’m going to die anyway.

Shortly after, my view turn darken as I feel my body crumbling away. The last thing I heard was a scream of the beautiful lady. I feel kinda bad for her. Not only she lost someone she deared, this body is perhaps the last of her close friends. I swear if I survived this shit somehow, i’m going to....

....................

........finish dark souls without using weapon and armor? I don’t know, it’s my first time dying, let alone in fantasyist way. My vision become complety void, no sound, no smell, not even taste.

Wait, I do hear a sound. It’s getting louder, and I felt a familiar feeling to this sound.

♪ I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling ♪

Instanly I realized. I finally understand what I have been going through. It’s probably something many people experienced. I thought it won’t happen to me because I consider it as a myth. But I was wrong, oh how I was wrong. The thing that happened to me,

is
