Synopsis
In a forest teeming with life, a young boy’s corpse mysteriously begins to heal from a lethal poisoning. As he revives, he grapples with disorientation and a torrent of thoughts, trying to understand how he ended up there. The last thing he remembers is being a 25-year-old man, working as an accountant for an elite family, involved in everything from butler duties to criminal activities. His past is marked by a ruthless drive for survival and success, fueled by a childhood in an orphanage that secretly groomed children for the family's sinister purposes. This background shaped him into a relentless, cunning individual who would stop at nothing to outshine others. As he navigates the forest, his survival instincts kick in, revealing his capacity for cold, calculated decisions and a disturbing willingness to do whatever it takes to remain at the top. This is a story of a man whose survival is a testament to his dark, relentless pursuit of excellence, and his rebirth in the forest hints at an unsettling journey ahead, where morality and sanity blur.

Chapter 1 - CH-1 The Beginning

Ch. 1

In the depth of a great forest that spanned over like a small state promised a great deal of vitality from the organism and creatures living inside the forest, laid a dead body of a human male who was not any older than 15-16 years of age.

His eyes were wide open and blood was gushing out, but that was not the only place blood was gushing out from as blood was gushing out from his nostrils and ears as well.

It seemed like he had died due to a very strong poison that brought his demise.

But in this forest full of vitality, lustre, vibrancy and spiritedness, a extraordinary and unbelievable phenomenon was taking place and if it was to be described by a person then he would be shunned by the society and be titled as a madman.

The unbelievable phenomenon that was occurring, was unfortunately only witnessed by the small living organisms like insects and parasites that were unable to comprehend what happening. But if a person with an intellectual fortitude and consciousness would describe it as unbelievable because the dead body that had turned pale and dried up, was slowly but surely recovering.

His pale body was turning Into normal colour, his irises were turning back normal instead of the bright red colour due to poison.

After an indefinite time, he slowly started breathing and after a moment sprung up onto the ground with his bare foot.

[His POV]

'Where am I? What place is this? Last time I remember I was at…' I was breathing heavily, and looking around the place crazily to analyse where I was and comprehend it.

'Multiple thoughts were coming to my mind and getting abandoned…because it made no sense to me' My brain became alert the moment I gained consciousness and my feet touched the muddy ground.

Thoughts like 'Did I get kidnapped by someone to be experimented on as a lab rat' or 'Did someone already conduct experiments on me and threw me here after I was useless' or 'Did someone hire an assassin to eliminate me and dump my body here' or 'Did I get really drunk last night and came here all by myself' or 'Did someone do this to prank me and it's all a set up and I am in a TV show'.

But all of this theories were too unbelievable and far fetched because, if I had been kidnapped by someone, conducted experiments on me and threw my body after they were satisfied then I would not be alive at a perfect condition but instead would be long dead. If I was the person conducting experiments, I would not want my subjects to tell the tails after I am done with them.

Then, if someone hired an assassin to make me disappear from the face of the Earth, then again I would not be standing here in the middle of nowhere and I would be resting at my own home. I would doubt any assassin would be smart enough or dumb to take my bounty.

Then, did I get drunk and came here all by myself. But that would be highly unlikely because I don't drink or do any stuff that would make me unable to make judgments.

So I am only left with the though that this is a prank, but that's also highly unlikely because I have looked around every nook and cranny but I can't find any camera or small gadgets that can be seen to distinguish the real from an artificial forest.

But I was still not sure of all of this highly unlikely occurs to not happen because it might happen once in a blue moon and that's how miracle works.

But all of this thoughts were quickly abandoned when I walked a little near a puddle to look at myself, to see that I was inhibiting a body of a teenager which made me jump back a few meters and loose my balance and fall.

'I was unable to take in what was going on here, last time I checked, I was a 25 years old, jacked young adult with pale skin, black hair, eyes with a little facial hair. By profession, I was an accountant for a very wealthy and elite high class family, but I had to do every menial work starting from the tasks of a butler to a gangster to even an assassin and if needed then to even take the blame for any crime my employers committed.' While thinking I started walking while looking around.

'It might sound bad and even disgusting but work is work. I didn't really have a normal up bring from the very start of my life, the moment I was first born, my father tried to kill me because he found out that my mother cheated on him with another man and I might be the result of their intimacy but thankfully I was saved by the authority. But seeing the dysfunctional family, the authority thought that it would be best for me to get raised in an orphanage than get raised with my father, mother or even my biological father.' I collected a few branches, that could be used to make fire and also to defend myself from any danger.

'From there I was sent to an orphanage, none of my parents used to visit me and I felt alone, so from a young age I dampened my emotions and only focused on survival. I used to get an allowance from my mother until I was 18 but she also never visited me.' I continued walking after looking around, trying to find a water source, so I can make a temporary base and to follow that water source to get out of this forest as it would surely go somewhere civilization thrives.

'Fortunately, the orphanage was a cover for the family to find and groom children for their own benefit. It might sound really disgusting but it was better than nothing and if I proved myself then I would have a bright future with nothing to worry about unless any unfortunate incidents occur.' The ground was muddy and my feet was covered in mud, but the good thing was, that due to the stench of the mud, the wild beast will be unable to smell my scent and I can camouflage myself with the nature unless I come in their sight but then also, unless I do some erratic actions, I will not be noticed my wild animals as most of them don't have good eyesight unlike human, some are exceptions but not all.

'So during my stay at my orphanage, I strived to be the best, I would be termed as average for a genius but I had someone that even a genius lacked that was a gift that could not be inherited but only come instinctually and that was, madness- madness to be the best, to overshadow everyone no matter there talent and hard work. I slowly turned into a freak of nature that excelled at everything, if someone was better than me because of there talent then I would do it more than they could imagine and if someone lacked talent and tried to put hard work and practised to be the perfect, then I would practise it even more and if I could not then I would sabotage them to be the best.' I tried search for insects that has an high affinity towards water and probably have their home near a water source....
