Ouch!
The pain is killing me!
My head it hurts so much!
*Blank* head was hurting so much that it felt like he got shot *Blank* Heard voices in his head saying everyone will die including you. *Blank* thought what am I hearing? Everyone else will die including me? Why can't I remember anything that happened before this. What am I? Who am I? What was my name? Wait the last thing remember is how I died, I died from a murder. Wait I think I remembered who killed me it was. Ouch my head! Why can't I remember? Come on! Come on brain! Think! Think! Think!
Ouch… *Blank* tried to turn over. In his mind he was thinking where am I? He tried to move his limbs, but he felt paralyzed bound down he felt helpless trying to process everything.
Am I in a dreaming? Have I made it to the after life? Is the afterlife just a empty void? Is there a heaven? Is there a hell? Where am I? *Blank* was used to experiences like this before, he struggled to break free from the chainsaw of darkness that holds him in down.
However he was half-awake he tried to focus on waking up, but every time he tired to focus he heard a voice trying to distract him repeating everyone will die including you. Every opportunity *Blank* had would slip away due to the voices in his head.
Why is my heart aching now? Now my head and now my chest.
Am I still alive?
Am I dead?
Or am I both?
F##k I already died young, what next is the afterlife just a void, do my thoughts just live on in the afterlife? I need to leave this! Now!
Wait! My chest feels a bit better, but still feels like a blunt knife slowly cutting my heart in half…
Welp looks like I died while trying to go to a job interview, I guess I can't get that job anymore.
Wait, why am I thinking of that interview while I'm in the afterlife.
I guess I now have all the time in the world to think of things I missed out on like theories of games and shows I've missed or didn't have time for this kind of sounds very depressing and lonely.
I have to try one more time *Blank* struggled to open his eyes, but the slow pain he felt gave *Blank* strength to finally open his eyes, but when he finally opened his eyes they were filled with a blur and faint crimson on the sides of his vision. The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes and got up was a unfamiliar wooden desk and a pale gold moon. He got up and looked around the room the find out where he was. He looked at a notebook on the wooden desk it said Alaric Venn deep black ink at the very top of the page it was on.
To the left of the wooden table was a shelf with books neatly arranged in order through a-z most likely around 36 books in that shelf.
But back to the main topic. Alaric Venn? Who could that be? There are 40 logs in the notebook, but 35 pages have been covered in blood or scribbled out I guess I'll read the first one that isn't scribbled on or has blood on it to understand who Alaric Venn is.

While I was studying in college our mother died our father had already died in war, so I had to take shady jobs while in college to support him while trying to support myself. I'm the only family he has left so I have the need to step in and take care of him the shady work I've done could get me arrested but I need to do this for my little brother.

I have been struggling on getting money currently the shady work I do is more than minimum wage but is not enough to support me and him. I might need to take more jobs.

I've gotten into trouble with the jobs I've been doing. One of my shady jobs I was supposed to deliver a package to someone after the delivery my colleague tells me, my client that he received half less of the supplies he gets on average and that he thinks I took some even the boss blamed me. The client might try to kill me but I know I didn't the only thing I did was drive and think about my little brother's future that ether means my boss took half of the package or one of my colleagues, but I might be killed if I do die I'll give my brother my emergency savings so he can live a better life then this one.

They have come for me this is my last and final entry even though it was short I had lived a good life goodbye to you Varyn Venn
Well, ok so Alaric Venn is dead, his brother is in college currently and doesn't know what his brother does to support him and visits to spend time with him occasionally. Now I'm questioning where is Alaric Venn's body? If this is his apartment, how am I here?
*Blank* looks at the ground there's a blood stain on the bed where he was laying at moments before, *Blank* took a second to realize that he was bleeding but the spot that was bleeding was his heart but somehow it was slowly healing. *Blank* went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. *Blank* saw that he was not him. *Blank* said have I transmigrated? *Blank* questioning him if he did transmigrated, after that thought he had his wound fully healed. Confused *Blanked* thought he was seeing things but somewhat believes it's really healed. Soon *Blank* left the bathroom to walk back to the bedroom while walking he gained memories of the previous owner of his body.
Are these Alaric's memories? Is that Alaric and his little brother and his parents? Alaric a citizen of the eastern continent's Quint Kingdom, from the city of hollow in silken county. Alaric's father passed due to colonial conflicts with the northern continent so the pension paid to his family gave Alaric and Varyn the opportunity to enroll in private school. Alaric's mother died after Alaric was 1 year away from passing college.
Alaric currently is living in a two-bedroom apartment by himself mostly till his brother passes college. The apartment is solely supported with Alaric's money who works very shady jobs and now it got him killed. Alaric is a history graduate and has a very good grasp on Ancient Veyrun language, which is the parent to every language in the eastern continent. He does also have a little understanding of Classical Chinese which is used in prayers, rituals, sacrifices, and things or items made by Emperor Rowen.
Like Chinese Mandarin? Who is Emperor Rowen? From Alaric's memories Emperor Rowen has been dead since 1450 and the current year is 1725 so it's been 325 years since he was alive and brought steampunk along with his random appearances as the Emperor. Emperor Rowen may have been transmigrated like me to this world due to the sudden advancements in technology from medieval to steampunk. *Blank* when back to his room and looked at the notebook one more time he saw in small writing in mandarin it said everyone will die including you, oh wait when I had my eyes closed I heard a voice repeat that same line. Upon that realization he heard a knock on the apartment door.
