In the Royal London Hospital during the year of 2017 a man, old, very old and tired due to the stress of movement on his body lay breathing heavily with a dim light in his weary patially blind brown eyes as his body shut down, he had lived a long life, a life full of experience evident by his heavily scarred body, he had family, great grandkids whom he loved and loved him, his second wife died some two and a half decades ago and all but his youngest daughter still lived though she was at the age of 64 and in an elderly persons care home so he had nobody at his bedside, well, his decendants able to walk visited about 2 hours ago but he was leaving this world soon, he could feel it.

Lewis sighed staring at the ceiling of the room, he had his own room, this was due to his status with his high position back when he was in the army and his knighthood, the man had even been visited by the queen, the bed he lay on was truly uncomfortable, it was like resting his head on a rock covered by cardboard and very thin cotton, Lewis tried to reposition his head in hoped of fining a more comfortable placement for his elderly head but alas he had not the energy.

wriggling his toes the best he could manage Lewis remembered his time in the war after getting injured in the legs and having to learn to walk again and let out a grunt of annoyance, he could wiggle his toes yet he couldnt move his head, debating which was more important to hims Lewis decided that his toes were more important to be mobile, should he lose control of them he would truly feel.. old.

resigning himself to the uncomfortableness of his pillow and the paper thin clinically blue sheets that the hospital have had for as many decades as he can remember completely he awaited the cold embrace of the lady Death, you see Lewis had always thought of death as a woman because if he was going to be collected by anyone, even as a soul, he would like it to be a beautiful woman.

he didnt have to live long before he could no longer feel his toes, Lewis felt his hart slowing to a stop and a feeling of cold overtook him, he could hear his heart moniter flatline and several footstepps before his vision turned black "time of death 03:23PM" he heard the doctor say before his hearing followed his sight and all his senses stopped working, there was nothing, just darkness, the cold had gone away just as quickly as it came and now there was nothing, just an endless blackness, not even a feeling of floating, it was a very strange feeling.

Lewis spend god, or whatever was out there's knows how long inside what he came to know as the void, because, well thats what it was, there was nothing but his consiousness and the endless blackness.

eventually Lewis found himself in a clearing, he did not see a light and move into it, he did not meet a god and get reincarnated with special abilities, there was no special transition, he just appeared, that was the veiw of it should someone who was already there have seen but dor Lewis himself, one moment the void, and the next a very green clearing in a forest, the clearing was circular and the ground seeming scorched with the circular zone being around the area size a carousel would take up, there were scorched bones and skulls around and the trees on the edge of the zone had burn marks, the bones were numerous and accompanying skulls, most of the bones and skulls were human like but much shorter and the skulls were too deformed to be human and some even had short tusks.

the trees and shrubbery around the zone were full of life, the plants so green that some resembled a plant growing large emeralds, Lewis looked around curiously, and there were many things looking back at him, squirrels, birds and many creatures that were either new to him, or looked like altered forms of those he knew, looked through the shrubbery curiously and some while seeing if he was a threat others were seeing if he was food.

Stolen novel; please report.

as the man who died got a grasp on his surroundings he looked down at his own body to see nothing , he tried to walk forward but found he lacked legs and urged himself forward and ended up rushing his invisible and probably floating form into a tree but found he passed straight through, seeing the inside of a tree was fun and all but Lewis was becoming really confused, he turned around and floated back to the clearing, though he didnt know how he did it without a body he just willed it, there was nothing left in the clearing except scortched boned of heavily disfigured short humanoids and one female human that seemed to lay in the centre just under where he himself awoke.

Lewis floated in the centre of the clearing which he awoke in, he was a little irked at his ability to sit, there was no reason for his annoyance as he expended no effort standing and his body, or whatever it was, was unable to tire so there would be unable to sit, though Lewis claimes that it help him think speaking the thought aloud as he was talkign to himself as he discovered he could voice his thoughts even though he had no mouth or vocal chords.

I looked around at my surroundings, the various creatures had noticed a few hours ago that their predators were in the same place as them looking at the same thing as them and freaked out causing the predators to notice them and a fight broke out, though for they stayed out of the scorched zone for whatever reason.

lewis thought about his predicament, he had seen a beetle throw blades of wind at a bird earlier suspected magic to exist and in the past he had read many fictions, light novels and web novels, many with reincarnation and rebirth though most involve a godess and cheat powers or a truck but still the world he found himself in could be similar to those he read about, and so he called out
