Synopsis

Chapter 1 - The beginning

i woke screaming, I remembered the last few moments of my death, dying by getting smashed on by the broken rubble, screaming in the cell feeling my thin body

" Shut up down there." someone said.

i stopped screaming, looking around in the unfamiliar Environment. i found myself in a stone cell with a straw bed. a crude metal door barring my exit. I looked down confused. I was wearing clothes that i never seen before

" Why am I here? " I thought, " why am I still alive? "

" CHOW YOU MONGRELS" someone said, three people came down a staircase. 2 people armed with iron tipped spears and had some sort of weird leather clothes.

The cart pulled toward my cell the cart rattling as it was pushed.

" eres your slop " he said, passing a soggy bowl of oats through the slit in the door.

" aren't that one supposed to be released tomorrow" one said leaning on his spear.

"yea I remember but I didn't have a name on it"

"ay kid what's your name"

I was still thinking about my death as he spoke to me. 

"ey Imm talking to what's your name"

I snapped out of my trance.

"My names Marcus DuFrane" he said while smiling happily.

Im happy, im still alive, marcus thought, taking a bite out of soggy oat meal.

the next morning i was awoken by the jingles of the jail guard keys and the scraping of my cell door as it opened. scrambling to get up quickly, when i got up i looked at the person.

"Your free to go" the man said wile handing the items that I apparently had before my capture, I then thanked the guard as i was practically thrown out of the place before I could look at the item. when they stopped pushing me i found myself to be in front of what looked like a small stone castle, soon after I stared at the large city around me.

..... after exploring the city for a couple of hours and just looking at everything, i started to make my way to my house on the outer city. where I could find my house and start on trying to find eternal life, but I don't want to die like in my last life. So, i need more people under control.

upon making it to the poorer zone in the outer part of the city i noticed something, and when inspected closer I noticed that most of the buildings were destroyed and or falling apart. the buildings that were destroyed looked like huge animal-like things had taken part of the destruction of the buildings.

after looking at the houses a little more I started to wander towards my home looking at the rubble along the way and trying to see any more clues or items to take. i soon spotted something small and shiny.

on walking closer and lifting the rubble, i looked down at what was a small knife.

when I snapped out of my daze after reading my stats, I then thought of mentally swiping the blue screen away. with a swoosh it vanished, when i stood up i thought of bringing my stats up. with a swoosh from the corner of my eyes the screen came back.

i put away the screen and started to walk a little more confidently. i started to walk again with the bronze dagger in hand towards my house.

 suddenly i heard a scream, it sounded like a man, then a large squeak like a animal in pain. i approached the corner from were i heard it and i saw a man and a dog sized rat. the rat was circling around the man and nipping at him. the man looked exhausted and was bleeding at his shins wear giant chunks of flesh has been ripped off to where you could almost see bone. the rat on the other hand was large and not very hairy. across the rat you could see giant green bruises and it was muscular.

suddenly the rat latched on to the man and took a chunk out of his thigh.

"AAAAGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

he screamed, then out of desperation, he tried to punch the rat that was clinging to his thigh. with a swift motion the rat dropped from his thigh and skillfully dodged the person's fist. I sneakily came from around the corner and approached the rat, the rat being fully locked on the dying person that was slowly bleeding out. I ran towards the beast. Using the knife i skillfully jumped on the back and stabbed its spine.

with a squish I pulled the dagger out of the dog sized rat, getting off of the rat i walked to the man.

"Thank you for that" he said with a small smile trying to cover up his pain.

" Are you going to live?" i walked toward the man who was sitting on the ground.

" I don't know" he said while looking at me fearfully, i knelt down and inspected his wounds.

" you're not going to survive" i said sadly while continuing to look at his wounds.

"Well, it's bound to happen sooner or later" he said while laying down. i looked at his skin which was starting to turn from olive to pale white. 

" Well, if I'm going to die you can have this." he clumsily grabbed at his pockets, then when he finally grabbed it, he held it for me. I picked up what looked to be a scroll.

" that's a dark class scroll, I stole it a while back."

" I've been getting chased by the guards for a while."

after coughing, I saw that he soon stopped talking and died. i slowly stood up,

" Thanks friend" I stared at him like I was expecting an answer.

"Life is so... fragile. "

I opened the scroll, after looking on the inside I heard a ding.

the mans eyes were still open, i bent down and shut them.

" lets get going" i muttered while watching the scroll burn into ash.

walking another five houses down the street i saw my " house " well this old bodies house.

i walked towards it and put my hand on the door, with a tug the door opened to a room with nearly nothing in it.

walking into the room and closing the door i looked at a lump of hay with a old dirty cloth covering.

i next looked at a table right next to it, getting closer i saw a small sachel made from a leathery material. and a vial of red liquid.

"not bad" i said curiously looking at the red liquid.

putting down the dagger i picked up the Sachel and looked inside.

sadly there was nothing inside but there was a slot for the red vail so i put it in the bag along with the dagger.

i left it there and i laid down in the hay bed and looked at my screen.
