Chapter 1 - Arriving in the New World

Wu Fa woke up in shock. He was currently in a luxurious room with a huge bed, but terrible ventilation. "Where am I?" he thought. Then he remembered everything. "That's right! I was on the verge of completing the research on the new nanotech armor when I was shot! The KGB! Oh no, if they got their hands on my research the world will be thrown into chaos!" He vividly recalled the blood spilling out of his stomach. He glanced down to his waist. Not only was it unbandaged and perfectly intact, but it also seemed a bit smaller. "When did I get skinnier?" thought Wu Fa. Then he noticed something strange: his skin seemed whiter.

There was a copper mirror beside the bed and Wu Fa took a glance into it. A piercing scream sounded throughout the mansion. A young maid burst into Wu Fa's bedroom and panickily asked, "Young master John! What happened?"

Wu Fa was too shocked to put together a coherent thought. "I'm . . . white?!" he murmured. Instead of the 35-year-old Asian male he was expecting, he saw a 17-year-old, blonde boy with radiant blue eyes.

"Young master John!" begged the maid. "What's wrong?"

Wu Fa turned to the maid and screamed, "Who am I?! Where am I?! What's going on?!"

"Um . . ." hesitated the scared maid. "You are John Wessex, we are in your father's mansion, and you were tired and decided to take a nap." Just then the door burst open and a short, brunette lady in glasses rushed in.

"JOHN!!! YOU'RE ALIVE!!!" she yelled in tears of joy. She jumped on the bed and bear-hugged Wu Fa before he could react.

"Young madam," stammered the maid. "What is going on?"

"Ah! Crazy girl! Who are you?!" screamed Wu Fa.

"I'm sowwwwy John! I know you're mad at me, but you're alive right?! All's well that ends well!" cried the lady.

"No lady! I'm serious! I don't have a clue who you are, where I am, or what is going on?!" yelled Wu Fa.

"Huh?!" asked the surprised girl.

"Mistress Leona, it seems that young master John is suffering from memory loss," said the maid. "I've been confused on what is happening. Could you please explain to this humble one?"

"What?! Memory loss? Is that so?" asked the lady named Leona. "Ah, ah, ah, I see what happened! Well at least John didn't die from my medicine! What's a little memory loss?" she laughed in satisfaction.

"Medication?! Ah? Mistress, have you gone and concocted some weird medicine to feed young master again?! The Duke has strictly forbidden you to do so!" exclaimed the maid Sharon.

"Ah, father doesn't understand! Just because I was banned from the apothecary guild doesn't mean I can't concoct legitamite medicine! Hey, John is still alive right? He'll get his memory back in no time! Hey little brother, try walking around now, I'm 90% sure that my medicine worked this time! Even if it fails, then I promise I will never, ever, ever try concoting medicine ever again for John."

The maid Sharon sighed. This was the 32nd time she had heard this speech.

Wu Fa had seemingly gotten a rough idea of what was going on. It seemed that he was currently in the body of a crippled boy named John Wessex, the son of Duke Wessex. His sister Leona had often concocted some medicine in hopes of healing his legs, but this time, the medicine had killed John. For some unknown reason, Wu Fa had come into the body of the now-deceased boy which caused Leona to believe that John had lost his memories.

"Um, sister? I've lost my memories so . . ." began Wu Fa, before he was cut off.

"Haiz, that's not important. Try walking around John!" exclaimed Leona with puppy eyes. Wu Fa sighed and rolled of his bed. Sharon supported him.

"No good sister," said Wu Fa after several failed attempts. "I still can't walk on my own."

Leona sighed. "I, Leona Wessex, will never, ever, ever--"

"Young mistress, please go to your father at once," came a booming voice of a middle-aged man.

"Ah?!" Leona cried out. "Mr. Molohon, um, you see, I'm kind of--"

"There will be no discussions," said Mr. Molohon. "Master Wessex wants to see you now!"

"AH!!! John, I'm screwed! Save me from father's wrath!" yelled Leona as she ran the opposite way down the hall. The door slammed shut behind her.

Wu Fa took a glance at the maid Sharon who had a wry smile on her face. And so began his adventure in the world of Arkologia.
