Chapter 1 - Reincarnation

Volume 1:Arrival In The Other World 

Baamm!!!!! 

A bullet is embedded in someone's skull as brain matter scatters in the scene. 

"Whatt!" 

Someone is having an inner monologue as he dies. 

"I'm actually dying in this way?" 

"How did I even... get into this situation."

"... oh I got shot!"

" I got killed by a cross fire bullet? "

" Ha! What a way to die... "

" If I'm dead how am I even still having inner thoughts... "

" What is going on, am I not supposed to see white light or something" 

At that point Oliphant Malamlela sees the white light he was expecting as it enters his eyes, to his surprise he starts to see an unfamiliar kind of ceiling in his vision. 

"What is this, a Rondavel?"

"Is this the afterlife?" 

Olifant asks himself as he starts to experience an unfamiliar feeling of not being in his usual state of mind and body he sees that he is not in his body and all this time he's been speaking a language he himself doesn't understand how he's able to grasp its meaning. 

He leapt out of bed in fright as if waking up from a nightmare. 

"What is going on right now?"

He see's himself in a mirror like substance, suspended by a tree twig mass twisted together in an oval shape giving a design of having being meticulously crafted, what is reflected is not his own face but a face of a teenager whose age can be around fifteen to sixteen with black curly hair and has a slightly thick mouth and has a sharp gaze. 

"I've been reincarnated?" he realizes 

At a certain point in time the boy notices there seemed to be someone in the room with him,he turns around to look at the door and he sees a very old wowan with wrinkles all over her face and body leaning on her cane with a hunchback, Oliphant is startled but he manages to keep it together, the old lady notices this slight change on his face and asks. 

"Are you sure you're okay to be running up and about in your condition. I told you that Soul Taker spell of yours is dangerous you should have let me finish my research on it so that it's safe to use now who knows how many hidden entities may have intertwined with your core soul and tried to inhabit your body?"

When Oliphant heard that last sentence he almost thought he got figured out that he was not the owner of the body he quickly realized that there may have been a malfunction with this boy's spell which may have lead him to switch his soul with the dying Olifant thus dying as a result and causing the unknowing Oliphant to be in the situation he is in. 

He quickly gathers his thoughts and says"You don't need to worry High Elder I will be fine, I just had a bad dream that's all. "

Oliphant's head was throbbing with pain at this moment as pieces and flashes of memories that did not belong to him flooded his brain, which is why he was able to address the old lady as 'High Elder' even though he just occupied this body for mere seconds."Well it's not like I'm going to take your word for it, I have already prepared for you to undergo an inspection of your soul just to make sure your soul is intact, that spell was very dangerous I don't know what you were thinking doing it alone with no security measures in place."

" Dammit!! This old hag I haven't even had the time to think, I'll get found out if my soul gets inspected.I have to think of a way to delay for time."Oliphant pondered as all plans possible were thought of. 

Oliphant opens his mouth to speak and says" High Elder you shouldn't have gone to such lengths for me I think you should not waste the clans resources for the only measly me."

" Mhhmmm, an interesting answer to try and stall for time but did you really think I didn't notice your strange behavior and tone I've been with that boy for a long time you can never imitate him."

Suddenly. 

Baammm!!!!! 

Oliphant feels a rush of pain across his face and he crashes through the the wall and is exposed to the outside world a slightly orange sky with a few sparse clouds indicating the time to be in the afternoon.

Oliphant tries to gain his composure, his mind is screaming at him at this moment "WHAAT! SHE KNOWS!!!! "

Oliphant screams "High Elder what do you think you are doing!!!" 

"I thought I told you not to pretend come clean now and I'll let you live." 

The woman known as High Elder proceeds to walk out of the hole she made by ramming her cane against Oliphant's face crashing him through the wall. 

As Oliphant is sent flying the High Elder chants under her breath and thick tree branches grow out of the ground at an astonishing speed and bind the four limbs of the boy and start to pull in the opposite direction of each of the limbs.Cracking sounds could be heard as Oliphant's limbs were starting to be detached from his body. 

Pain! pain! pain! pain! pain! 

This was all Oliphant could think of. "Why! I just died and this is what I experience in this so called reincarnation!! Dammit!! There's no way she could know, why would someone of her status and position come here personally to deal with me, this body I'm occupying is what one would call a prodigy amongst others in this place according to the memories I just acquired. " But this prodigy status would soon be snuffed out by the High Elder. 

"I can try to use one of the spells that the kid knows even though I'm not familiar with the process even if this body turns to nothingness that old hag is going to kill me anyway! "

" SKY MOVEMENT ART!! "

"Spear Cleaving Sky Travel!!! "

White light shined on the surroundings and in the next moment Oliphant who was restrained by the tree branches was now a dot in the horizon. 

"Don't think you can get away from me traveler from another world!!"
