A sharp pain at the front of the head suddenly assaulted John's senses waking him up from a deep slumber. ''Woooow those were some crazy dreams I just had haha. I don't remember getting hammered tho, must have been quite a night.
He closed his eyes while stretching his arms and legs and let out a deep yawn, upon opening them again he quickly started to panic: ''Where in the fuck am I, this looks like some count Dracula castle,'' he quickly got up to look out of the window ''well I'll be fucked it seems like I got kidnapped by some wanna be Amish cult''
Ok let's think this through Johnny boy, nice and slow, slow and nice.....what happened yesterday and how did I end up here? The last thing I remember is those damned dreams, but those can't be real, well not unless I can heal my cut artery with a simple nap. Well, I guess the simplest explanation would be that I was drugged by some memory-affecting drug. Either way, I need to get the fuck out of here as soon as possible.'' After pondering his thoughts, John turned around and was stunned by what he saw: a pair of deep blue eyes that seemed to hold the vastness of the ocean within them. He was looking at the face of a handsome16-year-old, with pale complexion, skinny, 6 ft tall build, and dark hair as the midnight darkness.
That wouldn't be such an uncommon thing if he weren't looking at a mirror and if he wasn't normally a blond-haired, 6'3 feet, 187 lbs muscly guy with totally different facial structures.
After a few minutes of staring at his new face, he suddenly got another headache, the pain was like nothing he felt before, even getting stabbed was like a finger poke in comparison, so he started clutching his head and screaming like somebody was taking his scalp away. But that was not all, accompanying the pain were several images of the life black-haired guy's life.
''Hmm, so the nightmare turned out to be actually real and I have really died and somehow reincarnated into the body of a teenage nobleman in the world where magic is real, and to top it all up I have been given all the memories, knowledge, experiences and skills of this Eiden guy.''
''Hahahaha I guess Johny boy has finally struck gold, but first things first I need to go over all the important parts of my new memories''
Just as he was about to do mental revision there was a knock on his door and a sweet voice calling out his name: '' Eiden! Heeey bro are you all right?'' He needed but a moment to recognize the voice of his new older sister Alice. '' Come on dude let me in! '' Shouted the girl with a sense of urgency.
Ugh seriously, you really couldn't have waited an hour before coming to screw with me, quietly mumbled slightly pissed off Eiden.
''Yeah, yeah I'm fine Alice I just had a really painful cramp in my leg that just wouldn't and wouldn't let up, lied Eiden while opening up the door.
Upon opening the door Eiden saw staring back at him the face of a gorgeous young woman, she was 5'4 feet tall, had shoulder-length black hair, sharp green eyes, and a toned body with just the right amount of curves and muscles.
'' It sounded like you were getting murdered in here Eiden and now I hear you were screaming like a little girl because of a simple cramp? You really need to start working on your pain tolerance...cough... among....cough.... many other things...cough...teasingly said the smiling girl.
''I wasn't screaming like a little girl okay Alice'' almost shouted royally pissed off Eiden, ''not to mention you are just insulting yourself, little girl''
Alice puffed up her cheeks in annoyance: '' I can still beat your ass with absolute ease you know.''
''Hahaha, one week.'' Said Eiden with confidence.
''What?'' said Alice with surprise.
Eiden made a step forward, looking with strong resolve into his sister's shocked green eyes,: ''Give me one week, and I will mop the floor with you.''
''Umm, are you really ok, Eiden?'' Said Alice with worry in her voice. ''All jokes aside, you did have a high fever for the last two weeks. You do look better today. However, you don't sound like yourself, heck you sound downright deranged saying you can beat me in a week without knowing a single spell and with your scrawny little hands.''
''I already told you I am all right, ok. But I was thinking these past days, how I was wasting my life on pointless things, and I have decided that I want to turn over a new leaf in my life. I guess almost dying can really put things into perspective, you know?''
'' I'm really overjoyed you are ok Eiden. You can't imagine how worried I was for you, especially these past few days,'' said Alice with teary eyes. Suddenly her troubled loo changed into one of mischief, and a slight smirk formed on her beautiful face.
''You know if you are as motivated as you claim to be, then your sparing session starts today at 4 pm. ''
''You know I think I will take you up on that offer, 7 o'clock it is. Now go, I have to take a bath and I also need to do some other stuff'' said Eiden while doing a shooing motion at the girl. ''
''Yeah, yeah I'm going, btw you don't have to be such a brute towards your sweet little sister you know, you scrawny oaf, '' said the girl showing her tongue to Eiden while being pushed by him out of the door. Suddenly her face turned all serious as she said: ''Don't forget to see mother, she worried about you just as much as I did.
His face also turned serious as he looked at her and nodded, ''Don't worry as soon as I'm done here I will go and see her.
''Good, make sure you do,'' she said approvingly while turning around and leaving him to his thoughts.
