Nathan opened his eyes and looked up groggily. The ceiling above him was completely unfamiliar, and he could not help but wonder what was going on.
He began struggling to get up, but he realized that the moment that he tried to get up, he felt immense pain all over his body. It was as if his entire body had just been suddenly roasted.
The pain that was coursing through his body right now was nothing that he had ever experienced in his life. Nathan could feel that he was currently on a bed, but he could not understand how he had actually gotten here.
According to the memories that he possessed, he could remember clearly that he had been betrayed, before he was beaten up and thrown into the river to die. But then, something happened, a golden light erupted from nowhere and surrounded him, saving him and healing the injuries that he had suffered at that time.
But then again, as he was wondering what was the source of the voice that he had been hearing in his mind, everything around him suddenly became brighter, and the moment that everything dimmed down, he felt that everything around him had suddenly become dark.
Then in the next moment, he was unconscious, and the moment that he woke up, he was here. Could it be that somebody had actually saved him? But how was that possible considering that the count was waiting for him, obviously he was going to make sure that Nathan was dead?
Just as he was wondering, he decided to observe his surroundings, because that was his nature, being cautious. It was just that even twisting his neck in order to look at his surroundings was something that made him experience pain.
But even then, he did not give up, and endured the pain that he felt, and began looking around without straining his body that much. He realized that he was currently in a room, and the quality of the room here was extremely high as compared to the one that he possessed during the time that he was in the Crimson serpent organization.
But then again, he realized that most of the things that he could see inside this room were not familiar to him, and this was actually the first time that he was encountering them.
What the heck was going on? Could it be that he had actually been rescued by a tribe that had secluded itself from the world? Otherwise, who could explain those strange things inside the house?
Just as he was wondering what was going on, the familiar prompt suddenly appeared in front of him. The moment that it appeared, Nathan could not help but be a little startled.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully transmigrating. The host has been transmigrated into another world, and alternate to universe with almost the same characteristics as the world that the host is from, but with a difference of the culture and the power system.]
"Who is it? Who is talking to me right now?" Nathan asked as he began looking around, making the pain that he was feeling all over his body to suddenly increase. But even then, Nathan did not care about the pain that he was experiencing, but he was just wondering who it was that was speaking to him.
But even then, his mind was also thinking about what had just been said, considering that even though he had not actually been paying attention to what was being said, the words were still being displayed in front of him.
'Transmigration? What the heck is that? Another world? Are you trying to tell me that I have actually been taken to another world? How the heck is that even possible?' Nathan suddenly asked himself all those questions, but of course, he was still vigilant of the person who was talking.
But although he had asked all those questions, he did not receive any response at all. And instead of answering the questions that he had asked, another prompt suddenly appeared in front of his vision the moment that he finished going through those words, considering that whatever he looked at, those words would still be floating in front of him.
[Does the host wish to recover the original memories of the one who owned the body that the host is occupying now?]
"The heck! You are the evil spirit here! You are telling me that I'm currently possessing another person? I'm not a ghost!" Nathan suddenly shouted angrily. Due to the shouting, the muscles in his body suddenly tensed up, and he could not help but wince in pain.
But even then, instead of responding to what he had just said, another prompt yet appeared in front of him.
[Do you want to recover the memories? Yes / No?]
Nathan was completely speechless at this moment. Could it be that whoever it was that was speaking to him at this moment was extremely powerful, and he did not even care about what he was saying?
The only thing that he felt In the voice was that it was masculine, and additionally, it was completely emotionless. It was as if the one who was speaking did not actually know the definition of emotions.
In any case, he decided to wait, hoping that that floating screen of words would disappear after waiting. But in the end, after an entire hour, the screen just kept on displaying those words, without changing at all. Additionally it did not seem that it was going to disappear anytime soon.
Feeling completely helpless and at the same time, annoyed, he decided to make a decision on the question that he was being asked. He began thinking about it, and realized that in this situation, he had to play as it was supposed to be.
According to the voice that was speaking to him, it was clear that he had actually been somehow 'transmigrated' from his own world into this one. Additionally, it was as if he was occupying another person's body.
Since that was the case, although he was not that much sure about what was going on, he decided to agree to get the memories of the owner of this body. Of course, he still believed that he was the owner of the body that he was currently occupying, considering that he was not even a spirit.
The moment that he made the decision to agree to receive the memories, he was not even allowed to say anything before suddenly, he felt a huge amount of information being poured into his mind.
The next moment, he experienced extreme headache that caused him to suddenly scream in pain. The only problem was that the pain that he was experiencing in his mind, making him to scream in pain, made the muscles in his body to tense, making his entire body to once again begin hurting.
In the next 2 minutes or so, Nathan experienced immense pain, especially the one that was coming from his head. The headache that he was having was extreme, that the pain that he was feeling all over his body could actually be completely ignored.
Finally, with over 2 minutes gone by, the pain that he was feeling suddenly subsided. At the same time, pieces and pieces of memories suddenly began appearing in his mind, as they began making sense slowly.
And after about 5 minutes, Nathan finally got a grasp of what was going on. It seemed that just as what the voice had said, he had actually been 'transmigrated' into another world. Although this was the first time that he was hearing about transmigration, he believed that it might actually be the whatever process that was utilized in order to bring him here.
The body of the person that he was currently occupying was also called Nathan, and he was 19 years old. He was an orphan, losing both of his parents to a monster tide that had attacked the city.
Both of his parents were initially strong, but in the end, during the fight, they actually encountered a very strong monster that managed to kill both of them together with many other people within the city.
At the time, the city that he was living in together with his family was completely destroyed by the monsters. It was just that he was lucky enough that him together with another group of people had actually moved away from that city.
It was just that Nathan received information that the death of his parents was actually not just simple, and it was not just related to a monster tide. But instead, it was actually a plan that was hatched by someone.
Of course, the level of his parents was not that high to be able to attract the power of a person who could initiate a monster tide. But instead, it was just that the person that was being targeted was completely different from those that ended up dead. As for the one who was being targeted, he was alive, without even suffering any injuries.
The original Nathan of this world decided that he had to make sure that he killed whoever it was that was the mastermind of the monster tide. But at that time, he understood that with the power level that he possessed, it was definitely impossible for him to be able to kill that person.
In the end, he decided to look for the best method that he could kill that person with, and that was by becoming an assassin. According to the information that he possessed, an assassin was capable of killing a person that was even stronger than themselves, as long as the gap was not that big, if they managed to launch a sneak attack.
As for the current situation that he was in, Nathan could not help but feel a little helpless about it.
