"Thank's for the food boss" Said a young man to a food vendor owner "come again lad" Replied the food vendor.
"What should i do now?" Walking on the side road in the night, murmured the young man, the young man's name was mu xin, he was 19 years old man with nothing special "i've been living my life monotonously because my parents already decided my future before I knew it so I never thinking about it, but now they're pass away what am I supposed to do now?" Mu xin is a lost young man with no direction in life, ever since he was born, he never has a chance to decide his future because his parents already decided for him.
*RUMBLE*
(The rain already stopped for a while now but the lightning still around huh) Mu xin absentmindedly stared at the thick dark cloud in the sky still in though about his future. "i almost used up my saving now so I need a job but what kind of job can I do when I have almost no skill and connection?"
*RUMBLE*
Mu xin stared at the sky again and thinking, "it might not be bad to die by lightning? I have no reason to live anyway" He couldn't help but reach such train of though since even his other family don't want him around.
*RUMBLE*
"Did the lightning got closer?" Mu xin continued to stare at the sky somewhat fearfully "i should stop saying such a thing" Just when mu xin say so a lightning started to rumble above him, "no way right?"
*BOOM*
"SH*T" Mu xin cursed, but he couldn't do anything and died by lightning, other people naturally saw the incident called the ambulance only to know he already died.

Somewhere in the forest an eight year old boy with skinny, dirty and tattered cloth suddenly woke up "hah hah hah where am I?" (Didn't I just die by lightning? How can I'm breathing now?) Mu xin looked around to confirm his situation (I'm in a forest? Not a hospital? Or more like, how did I get here in the first place?) *grrm* (uuuh i'm hungry and thirsty too, calm down I need to think for now, I got struck by lightning that's for sure but if I'm going to survive I should have waked up in hospital but I'm in a forest, did someone throw me here? But why?) *grrrrm* (uuuuh I need to find something to eat first) he stood up and found something odd (did my hand smaller? And I think my body too....did I become younger?! How is that possible?! It did not make sense!!! I have to see my reflection to make sure of it).
Mu xin started to walk around hoping to find food and water (this forest is thick so not much sunlight go though). eventually he found something (mushroom? Is it poisonous? I don't know, but it's quite plain, not colorful, I remember I read somewhere that a colorful mushroom is most likely poisonous, so this should be safe?) The mushroom is resembled Japaneses matsutake but it's pure white (maybe it's safe? I just keep it for now, maybe I find fruit latter if not I eat this) mu xin could only make such a decision for now and continue with his journey.
After walking for almost an hour mu xin finally found a tree with fruit on it (is that an apple?) In front of him was a tree with a somewhat glowing leave, and it grows a lot of green apples but the apple is odd because it has some golden line to it (can I even eat it?) *rustle* (what's that?!) A sound came from on top of his head, mu xin looked up and saw a monkey with red color skin (!!!) Mu xin quickly hidden under the bush beside him (what kind of monkey is that?!) It's not like the usual red monkey, this one is fiery red just like a flame, the monkey head to the apple tree and after the monkey got close the monkey grab one apple and eat it with a big smile on its face that mu xin could clearly tell (it seems delicious) the monkey keep eating the apple and when the monkey eat the fourth one *ROAR* a tiger come from left of the tree, it's eye look at the monkey and the monkey immediately run away with a speed no other monkey could match, and the tiger also chase its food with extreme speed (is animal supposed to be so fast?) No matter how mu xin thought that speed is not normal, but he didn't dwell on it too much (this is my chance to get food) with that he threw a way the mushroom and quickly went to the tree to grab one apple, and he ate it immediately since he was so hungry (HOLY IS IT REALLY APPLE?! SO GOOD!!! Hmm? I'm full? But I just eat 1 apple?) After one apple, his hunger and thirst was gone like never existed (isn't this apple a bit ridiculous? Whatever if it like this it's good I grab as much as I can hold) with that mu xin took off his tattered shirt and used it to hold the apple, although the shirt had holed the hole was not big enough for the apple to fall, with that, he grab few apple (not bad) by this time the sky already changing color (I need to find a place to stay for tonight).
Mu xin continued his journey, this time to search for a place to sleep, he walked around aimlessly until the sun was gone and pitch black, but he didn't find a place to sleep (not good can't go on like this dark forest is dangerous) helpless mu xin can only climb the tree to sleep (I hope tomorrow I can find a cave) mu xin quickly fall asleep since it was a hard and confusing day.
