Although Akin had questions the idea of accepting this sort of deal as it went against every moral conduct that had being instilled in him but his will to survive ever so strong kicked in making him clutch unto this last straw of hope of survival even if it was a deal with the devil . The shadowy figure remained rooted on the spot still stretching out his hands patiently while Akin struggled trying to reach him with his sinister gaze looking down at him ' as if saying if you can't even manage this much then you don't deserve a second chance .
The look in it's eyes filled Akin with fury as he gritted his teeth in frustration, the thought of always being look down upon further infuriated him and In a moment of desperation Akin noticed a glass shards from his thrashed apartment close to him he grabbed it and without hesitation plunged it into his already numbing right hand to regain sensation. with a pump of adrenaline surging through out his body he managed to grab the hands of the shadowy entity before he collapse and his consciousness darkening.
.
"You made the right choice and you definitely won't regret it " The shadow said to Akin's unconscious body

The sound of an alarm resounded through out the room forcing Akin to stretch out his hand to probe the surrounding in an attempt to turn off the alarm but even after trying several time the damn thing just refused to be turned off
"would you snooze already" The Akin yelled pulling the pillow over his head to block out the nose but it did little to nothing to help while Akin's head pounded as if someone was using a hammer to constantly hit his head and the sound Of the alarm clock only served to aggrievate his dilemma
Suddenly a loud stern female voice sounded from outside the room " How long do intend to stay in bed Makinde. Don't make me come up there and wake you up myself" The voice said
Akin felt his stomach sink as he heard the voice and he immediately jumped out of bed instinctively .
"Mom I swear am already up I was just praying" He cried out instinctively as if his mouth had moved on it own.
Akin was confused at to what was going on
"Aren't I dead? " He mumbled under his breath in disbelief looking at his surroundings the room was decorated with posters of several players and on top of all the posters was a framed and signed photo of young Christiano Ronaldo dressed in Manchester United's jersey.
He pinched himself wondering if all of this was real or just his hallucinations before death but the constant pounding of his head was too realistic to be a hallucination but he still pinched just to be sure and he noticed his small hands as he raised his hands to pinch himself, they were like the hands of a child
"Ouch that hurt " He yelped clearly not expecting, the pain to be so intense . In the bathroom he approached the mirror by the sink and instead of the ugly image of a frail middle aged man with hollow cheeks and black eye bagst due to lack of sleep, a vivid image of a young boy appeared he had distinct green eyes, a short black low taper fade with a short afro top. He was the prime of handsome a perfect blend of an African-American genes.
Suddenly a sharp headache assualted him again but unlike the previous one this on felt as if knife was being constantly stabbed into his brain, making him clutch his head in pain and bite his teeth as an influx of memories flashed through his head probably the memories of the previous owner of this body after a few minutes that felt like eternity to Akin the piercing headache finally subsided.
It turns out he had being trans migrated into another body, the name of this body was Makinde, He was the son of Chief Otunba the loan shark who had killed him in his previous life, he had met his mom at Portugal and they had a fling which later resulted into him being born as his illegitimate child. Akin now Makinde was filled with intense thirst for revenge wanting to end Othnba but was able to keep his urges for revenge under control
"Oh Chief Otunba you definitely didn't expect me to survive this and believe me I will definitely have my revenge" He said with a dark chuckle, the previous owner of this body had no sentimental feeling to Otunba, he had never even met the man before. Because he had abandoned this bodies mother leaving her alone to raise a child and the previous owner of this body had only gotten to know by accident.
"Hurry up and get dressed or you'll be late" His mom's voice sounded breaking him out of his thought, he quickly brushed his teeth and took a shower and according to his memories he opened the closet and brought out his his long blue trouser and his white and blue stripe shirt with a deep blue blazer jacket, his George Campion Academy school uniform. Barely a few minutes later Makinde was already dressed and was down stairs stuffing his face with a spoon full of cereal.
"Makinde don't forget your match bag" His mom said hurriedly as the sound of her high heels reverberated through out the room, according to the memories the previous owner of this body he played football but his talent in football were just average at best.
