Chapter 1 - Chapter 1: Waking Up

Leon slowly open his eyes and what greets him is the roof with many holes. He checks the surrounding to see if there's someone else in this room. It seems to be a small house that is crudely made.

Slowly getting up out of the dirty bed, Leon check the house again and judge that there seem to be no one living in this house except him. Leon check his body if there is a problem but it seems that there's nothing wrong.

"Hehe"

"HAHAHA!, I have survive that fall! It seems that luck was on my side.

"To the person that dare to plot against, just wait for my return and I will turn you into a honey comb with all the bullet of my gun."

"HAHAHA"

Leon keeps on laughing until his stomach hurts. Suddenly Leon notice that his voice seems different and sounds child-like. Observing his body again, his skin is smooth with a bit of roughness and his height seem to be a bit smaller than his previous 6 feet height and his body seems malnourished that it did not eat healthy food for a month.

"Why did I get smaller and my voice sounds like that of a juvenile? Did my head hit something during the fall, so hard that my height got shorter and my voice got younger?"

"And where in the hell am I?"

As Leon murmured and ask himself, he suddenly heard a voice in his head.

{Ding!! Answering the host question. You are in Kurlian Island of Rising Dragon Group of Islands.}

Surprise hearing the answer to his question. Leon suddenly feel that his head hurt a little and its getting worse by the second. All of a sudden flashes of memory that do not belong to him appear in his head.

Leon now understand why his height got smaller,his voice seems younger and why his body is malnourished. Because this body wasn't his to begin with, this body belong to a boy named Razlov.

Razlov is an orphan from the slums of port town Sanloris. Sanloris is a town in the territory of Viscount Garbel. Razlov was previously a member of a local gang, until the higher member of the gang got into a huge trouble, because of mistakenly kidnapping the son of an army Commander of the kingdom of Kleindez because they thought it was a son of a foreign merchant. Because of the incident of kidnapping, the whole gang was hunted down by the army. Razlov and a group of members that got the same age as him manage to escape the hunt by separating in different direction.

Razlov only got away by stealing a boat and travel to this island. After arriving at the island Razlov search the whole island to see if there is somebody else that is living here. After a 4 day of searching the island with no result Razlov concluded that the island is inhabited and only wild animals seem to living in this island. Concluding that there is no inhabiting or using the island as resting point Razlov decided to stay in this island to lay low before returning to Sanloris.

But that wouldn't happen anymore because after 10 month of staying on the island Razlov got sick and due to no one else is living on this island Razlov has to do all the thing that needs to be done from getting the food he eat, getting the firewood so he wouldn't freeze at night to taking care of himself. But that only worsen his condition, his fever got worse that he couldn't move a muscle and because he could not move his body he could not go out to procure some food to eat, making his body weak. After 5 days of struggling Razlov finally succumb to his fate and died.

"Sigh, what tragedy the life of the previous owner of this body live a life that is full of downs and no ups. And looks like he is not bad person, even though he is a member of local gang he still trying to be an upright person not to be influence by those of around him."

"It look like his character got influence by the old man that pick him up when he was only a child and who was also a member of the gang before the old man died because of sickness."

(Author note: Although Razlov and his foster grandpa are member of the gang they are only doing errands.)

"It seem i have transmigrated into this body after I died from my car falling of the cliff. That means I will not be able to exact my revenge to those bastard that plotted against me."

"Sigh"

Forgetting the voice in his head Leon slowly walk out of the house. Facing the house of a few meters is a forest that seems to be untouched for hundred years like the virgin forest of Amazon on earth. At the back of the house is a cliff facing the sea.

Leon slowly walk to the back of the house. He look at the vast sea blankly staring at it as he reminisces of his previous life.

"Although my previous life is full of ups and downs there are also many happy and enjoyable moments that I found it funny just remembering it."

Reminiscing of his previous life about his school life to entering the army, getting caught cheating on the act by his girlfriends not just once but many times and remembering all those life and death moments in some of the mission he participated as a special ops agent.

"Now that i think about it I have never really been faithful to any of my girlfriends. I guess I will really never be content with just one girl and be faithful to her, guess I'm what you call a natural cheater or maybe playboy."

After reminiscing Leon thoughts got back on track at the current situation.

"I guess I have now to take in my new identity as Razlov. As of today I am now Razlov."

Grrrrr

As Razlov was making a vow to himself his stomach suddenly grumble. Razlov suddenly remember that this body hasn't eaten anything in the days that the previous owner of the body was sick.

"Hmm, the time seems already 8-9 am in morning. From the previous owner memories there are many fruit trees in the forest that are edible. I guess fruits will do for now because my body is still weak and cant hunt any wild animals in the forest."

Razlov walk to the forest to find edible fruits, after 30 minutes of walking in forest Razlov obtain many edible fruits and a pot of water.

After eating breakfast Razlov search the whole house to something useful for daily life. After searching for 5 minutes he find a dagger that previous owner owned, other than the two pots that is used for cooking and container for water and a little bag of salt there is nothing else in the house.

"First I need to fix this house seen I will be living here until my body gets becomes strong again then I will go to the port town of Sanloris for any information that is useful."

Razlov started fixing the house that will be his temporary home with the little strength he gain from eating fruits. It wasn't until late afternoon that he finish all that needs to be fix.

As Razlov return from picking up fruit for his supper when he sat down on the bed he suddenly thought 'I think forgotten something, something important, its in the tip of my tongue but I cant remember what is it'
