Chapter 1: the deaths

There I am, injured afraid, and in the dirt, my body is broken, with a bit mark on my underbelly. What life is this now, tenth, eleventh, hard to say, but all I know is that I’ll rejoin the cycle of this world, the endless path, of birth,  death, and rebirth. I feel my light fading fast, wonder what creature I’ll be next, in this life, I was a strange creature, I was like a dog that was made of smoke, I could fly and swim, I had multiple eyes on my head and a big one in my mouth, it was like I fed on the life force of other creatures; my mother was a blueish color, looked like me, didn’t meet my father, and my mother only laid one egg, so guess that’s something. Oh there it is,  the light,  time too see what I’ll be next, my first life was a big crocodilian like creature, it was a good run, couple hundred years I was that, and now time for the next life.

Alright, this is weird, I’m in some type of forest, and I feel human again, how long had it been, couple thousand years,  I don’t even remember my name, I vaguely remember my life on earth,  before I was reincarnated in a new world, but now it seems I’m in this new one, some type of forest or something, strange. I feel,  younger which is good, but strangely I’m not being pushed out of my mother, hug, I have some type of blue scales on my forearms, and I have these two daggers that look like teeth as blades, I need to find some water, fast.

Okay now, so I found some water, one problem, I am in fact,  younger, I look like 12 or something, I’m used to taking hundreds of years to mature, but I have white hair, and I feel surprisingly strong. I feel my stomach is empty, need to find food.

Alright I'm already tired of this! I managed to kill a deer with my bare hands, and when I went to eat the meat, it tasted horrible, and I’m used to raw meat, so now I think I need to make a fire so that I can actually eat the food. Alright fires made, this pond seems good and the forest is surprisingly peaceful. The fire is crackling and such, the meat is cooking and smells good, it’s been a while sense I had cooked meat, but from looking at the surroundings, it’s clear that I’m not in my old world, I’m some other world now, I almost forgot what it’s like to feel human, or mostly human, and these daggers seem very cool, they look they are from a creature back in the other world, forgot its name, miju-something I don’t know. Wait, I hear voices?
