Aahh!
It hurts the pain is killing me!
My insides hurts so much!
In a dream like state Zen Lee, felt burning pain in his abdomen as if someone had hit his insides with a burning spike again and again. No, it was more like sharp object thats almost melting had pierced Abdomen, leaving bits of melted pieces in the process!
Aahh... in his stupor, Zen Lee, tried to get up, touch his abdomen, and sit up, but
he couldnt move his limbs, they refused to move leaving him completely immobilized and helpless.
It looks like my body is still not awake, still dreaming leaving me in a Sleep paralysis
maybe in a short while i will be able to move again... Zen Lee, used to such disorienting
experiences, struggled to focus and break free from the shackles of darkness and confusion.
However, while half-awake, he tried to focus his will that felt as insubstanstial as a ripple in a river there one moment and gone the next. His thoughts refused to be controlled or examined.
No matter how hard he tried, his focus kept slipping away as random notions and images bubbled up unbidden.
Why would i suddenly get such terrible stomach ache in the middle of the night?
And it's so painfull!
Could it be diarrhea or am i constipated?
F**k, am i going to s**t myself?
I need to wake up! Now!
Huh? It doesn't hurt as much as before, but it still feels like needles slowly stabbing my abdomen...
Looks like I can't go back to sleep. How am I supposed to work tomorrow?
Why am I even thinking about work? With a stomach ache like this, I should take the day
off! No need to worry about the manager's nagging!
Hey, putting it that way, it doesn't seem too bad. Hehe, I can end up getting some spare
time for myself, try and get my rank up on league.
The Burning pain allowed Zen Lee to gradually gather immaterial strength.
Finally, he straightened his back and opened his eyes, fully breaking free from his reverie.
His vision first blurred, then was tinged with a faint white. He found himself
in the middle of a narrow dark alleyway. sitting up in a coffin sized pit, in the middle of the dark alleyway, The dirt at the bottom of the pit was stained with blood. he could smell the metallic odor coming from the blood stains.
Where am i, how did i get here!
and why am i half naked!!!
Zen Lee was stunned. Everything he saw was so unfamiliar and looked nothing
like his room!
In his shock and confusion, he noticed the Pit and the dark alleyway were covered in a layer of whitish hue from the light shining from above.
Subconsciously, he lifted his head and his gaze slowly moved towards the source of the light.
In midair, at the entrance to the alleyway a white moon with a black circlur dot in the middle hung high, shining silently.
Wh-Zen Lee felt inexplicably terrified and stood up abruptly.
But before he could straighten his legs, his abdomen throbbed with pain, causing him to lose strength and fall back heavily into the coffin sized pit.
Thud!
The pain did little. Zen Lee propped himself up with his hands on the ground above the coffin sized pit. stood up again, and turned around in a panic, examining his surroundings.
It was a narrow alleyway, with crumbling brick walls with rusted metal pipes, and old graffiti scrawled on brick walls puddles of rainwater reflecting the moonlight, Heaps of excavated soil sit next to rusted metal pipes, and splintered plywood and The pit was a muddy, oblong grave, its stench was both earthy and metallic, a grim smell that clung to the air and the back of one's throat.
With a quick glance, Zen Lee caught a glimpse of himself in the puddle of rainwater-the current him: raven black hair, black eyes with dark circles, a linen pants, a thin build, above average features, but with a rather deep outline...
Wha-Zen Lee gasped, his mind flooded with helpless and confused thoughts.
The White moon with a black dot, different from Earth's moon and this body all indicated one thing!
C-could I have transmigrated? Zen lee's mouth slowly opened.
He had grown up reading web novels and often fantasized about such scenarios
Despite everything, acceptance proved challenging when it became reality.
Almost a minute later, Zen Lee murmured to himself, trying to find some humor in his situation, This is probably what it means to love a fantasy??
If it weren't for the throbbing pain in his abdomen keeping his thoughts sharp, he would have definitely thought he was still dreaming.
Zen Lee struggled to regain composure, repeating "Calm down" in his head while taking deep, measured breaths he tried hard to stop panicking.
At that moment, as his mind and body calmed down, memories began flooding him, slowly appearing in his mind!
Raven scott, a citizen of the Central Continent's Saru Country, Ghrmen County, City of Amar.
he is an Orphan, 18 year old high school dropout...
His father worked in an underground factory that produced air filtration systems, He passed away from everyday exposure to air polution, The compensation money allowed
Raven to attend a private school.
His mother was an teacher at local school of science and commerce, She passed away
the year Raven turned 15, He also had younger sister who was 6 at that time, they were put in adoption centre she got adopted to a new family.
Sadly for him he wasn't adopted by a family. he got separeted from his younger sister,
he started living in the outskirts abandoned house's, doing oddjobs for outskirts gang Chamber.
As a high school drop out, he only knew Casmic-language It was a common
language used in Ghrmen County
Casmic language? Zen Lee's mind stirred. He reached out to rub his throbbing abdomen and looked at the Graffiti on the brick wall.
He took step out of the pit got closer to the Graffiti on the cracked brick wall, Graffiti went from strange to alien, then from alien to familiar, until it became readable.
It was a text writtien in Casmic language!
The brightly colored Graffiti said: "Chamber's territory"
Looking at the familiar name, He thought deeply about the oddjobs Raven had recieved from chamber gang, as he contemplated how he had ended up in an coffin sized pit.
While deep in thought, His gaze was drawn by an unexpected crimson mark – a footprint, just visible to the side, Its color was deeper than the moonlight.
It was a bloody footprint!
A bloody footprint! Zen lee subconsciously crouched down, lifted his right foot looking down, he saw his bare foot were covered in blood.
At the same time, the throbbing pain in his abdomen continued. Although it had weakened a little, it was still persistent.
Did i commit seppuku? Zen lee wondered as he turned around and walked towards
puddle of rainwater.
A few steps later, A frail-looking young man with pale skin and dark circles under his eyes came into view. The person had a lean build.
Is this me now? Raven Scott?
Zen lee paused for a moment, because the dim hue of the moonlight, he couldn't see clearly, so he moved forward until he was just a step away from the puddle.
Using the moonlight, He turned his abdomen towards the puddle.
The somewhat clear reflection in the puddle showed a grotesque wound on his abdomen, with burn marks around it. The area was stained with blood, and darkish-Red flesh slowly wriggled within.
