"Holy mother of…!"
(Author: Let me stop you for a moment there.)
|
Now, James Morningstar just your average 27-year-old male, with a terrible desk job at some no-name company.
|
Well, at least he was. Now he is a 15-year-old kid in a strange house.
|
To add to the strangeness, an unknown leather book with runes on the front of it, is currently laying next to Him.
|
It was just like every day. James was just walking to work like usual.
Next thing you know, a sharp pain on his head. And all he could see was darkness in front of him.
|
When he woke up, James found himself in the body of a child. And apparently, was missing a big chunk of his own memories.
|
He could remember most of his past life. All of James' hobbies, the movies he watched, anime... comics, novels... nothing.
|
Though it seems like he still had some knowledge from the previous body's owner, so at least not all was lost. What a coincidence that his name was was also James Morningstar. But that was all he could remember. Kinda strange.
|
Now onto this mysterious book. All James could find out is this book is called the 'Book of Runes'. It was made of leather and reminded James of an old diary. It also had Viking Symbols and Runes etched onto the front and binder.
|
While he was checking out the ancient book, he pricked his finger on a sharp exposed corner. And a drop of Blood spilled on to the front cover.
|
"Ouch!" he exclaimed.
|
The unknown book then started to glow red. After a few seconds, the light died down. The book of runes then unlached and opened itself.
It unfurled stopped after a couple of pages were flipped.
|
James curiously looked over, an on that page read the following;
|
|

|

|
[Yes/No]
==================================
|
|
James was dumbfounded at what was written on the page. But his inquisitiveness got the best of him. He wanted to find out more.
|
James then hesitantly pressed the [Yes]. The page then suddenly shined bright, as bright as a diamond. (Author: The previous author put it in so I thought i would. Hehe.) The light dimmed down after a few seconds and new words were shown on the page.
|
|

|
|
James thought for a moment before pressing [Yes] again. The page shone once more. Once it had died down again. A different message was left on the page.
|
|

[Prepare for pain]
==================================
|
|
James was confused for a moment. Then suddenly, he felt unbearable pain all over his body.
|
It felt like a million pins and needles being stabbed in to every inch of his skin. Similar to how you would punch a punching bag for hours until your fingers bled.
|
But surprisingly, James Morningstar endured all of it. That trauma of memories as the previous James, made his resolve even stronger.
|
Once the pain had died down significantly, James looked at his hands. He could see 1 symbol written on the back of his right hand. With another positioned middle finger on the same hand.
|
James felt another positioned on his left shoulder. One located just above his heart, with the final rune he felt in between the shoulder blades.
|
James felt something pull from deep within his very soul. And at the exact same time on instinct, he willed the 2 of the symbols on his right hand to glow. Both runes lit up instantly with a cyan light.
|
James unconsciously held out his hand and wind started shifting around the room. It formed a ball like shape and started giving off a dangerous aura.
|
James realised at that moment i'd he didn't stop it would get to a point he could even hurt himself. He tried throwing it from his palm but it did not work.
|
He was getting frightened, as it was now the size of a basketball. As a last ditch effort he yelled, "stop!!!"
|
The wind ball then released all its stored energy and broke itself apart. It shattered the glass an made a mess of the room he was sitting in. James also felt like he was drained of stamina.
|
He looked around his bedroom and thought to himself, 'man this place is a mess.' He was glad he chose wind. James did not want to imagine if he had chosen fire. Or the destruction it would have caused.
|
Just then he heard knocking coming from his bedroom door.
