It was the pain that awoke him.
What is happening?
Why is it so painful?
Ahh!
Ruan WenCai immediately open his eyes. The scene was terrifying , the cry of the crow in the middle of the woods and a dark-red shadow passed by, things was frightening the boy as if he was a character in a horror movie. This dream is surely crazy, I'm definitely losing my sanity. Come on Ruan WeiCai, close your eyes and everything will end! - Ruan WenCai did as he said.
Once again opened his eyes, it was the same forest, he was still in a empty trunk-nothing had changed. He was surprised. Suddenly, the smell of blood filled the air, and the pain returned-just like a moment ago.
Made the choice to move his hand, but he was terrified....blood!
It was all over his hand with many serious wounds.
He couldn't think of anything else but to grab the nearby grass to cover it. Perhaps it was the fear that left him stunned.
What the f**k is going on!?-He shouted, his voice cracked, his body trembled and moved on its own.
The young man couldn't accept this reality and tried to fool himself that it was only a nightmare, despite the sharp pain he felt. No...it couldn't be real.....no! But yet the pain proved otherwise.
Although the injuries were covered, it still cause blood loss, as time passed, he lost track of how long he had been lying there - pain was shattering his mind.
"Why...do I have to suffer...?" he muttered - with too much blood loss, his consciousness began to fade. "Ahh,...Am I dying...?....Why is everything so blurry....?.....Please,.... someone,..... help me.....My family is waiting,...please..... If I die here,..... what would happen to their life?.....He spilled out everything he has left on his mind as his voice getting lower and lower - only darkness remained.
....
....
Light shone through the forest, birds began to sing and the sounds of the nearby river help him regained his vision. Slowly opening his eyes, Ruan WenCai's mind was swirling
What happened? Where am I? Where's the wounds? He asked himself.
Only then did he realize - this wasn't his home.
wait, is this a dream? Or have I transmigrated?
questions appear in his head but there were no answer to it.
With no knowledge of this place, he followed the sound of flowing water.
Butterflies, rabbit, deer - creatures of all kinds appeared in his way to the water's source.
The forest itself was breathtaking - just like this was a forgotten page in a fairy tale.
A river! Ruan WenCai said in joy
Ignored everything around, he ran to the river and started to gulping the water down in seconds, while drinking, he realized there was something odd - he couldn't see his face's reflection...
But he didn't care too much , transmigration itself is already beyond his knowledge. After satisfying his thirst, he rested at the foot of a tree nearby.
So it was not a dream, this is reality... Ruan WenCai said with a heavy tongue.
I need to find a way to get back to Earth! Alright alright, Ruan WenCai, it's not the time to feel sorry for yourself, your family and friends are waiting!
He closed his eyes in silence...
"From what I've seen in the water reflection, this clothes... they looks like they're from a medieval culture"
"But why am I here?"
"Also, why was I lying in a tree trunk in a middle of a forest and seriously injured....?"
"What was that red shadow....?"
"Why did all of my wounds suddenly healed....?"
"Is this a parallel world? Or is it the Earth's past?"
"I have to come back to that tree trunk, maybe I could find some clues"
Questions keep popping up in his mind but right when he decided to comeback to where he was transmigrated, a gust of wind rushed past and pushed him into the river.
What is kind of wind is that? I'm all wet now.....
He quickly, climbed back onto the land - and saw a card floating in front of him.
What even is this? Did the wind bring it here?
Wait... could this mean there's a civilization?
The thoughts flashed through his mind. He picked up that card then ran in the direction where the wind came from. On his way, he glanced at the card.
"Looks like a broken mirror.... nothing special"
Suddenly, he saw a pillar of smoke, pleased with his choice. His heart is bounding and his mind is filled with hope, he ran faster and faster.
"Food, finally, I can have some food!"
"This has to be the village where the owner of this body came from"
"Wait! I have to stop - that's a cliff!"
Crack! Crack! - rock and dirt falling into the cliff's edge.
Ruan WenCai was fortunate enough to stop right before losing his life. Speechless and scared, if he advance any further, his life is gone. He froze and looked at the village.
"Why is it burning!?" He gapsed
But before he could make a choice, a voice echoed somewhere in the forest:
"Hide! They're coming!"
