chapter - 2

The outset of a new adventure

It was really a nightmare all the things happened and I couldn’t believe Han has just died.

A light shines through my bag, it was as bright as the sun. I could not see directly to it. I start

to feel dizzy and my body fell on the ground.

[Next Day]

I woke up with a lot of pain. My whole body was in a lot of pain, I don’t know what had

happened last night. Right now I’m outside the ruin under a tree, the air here is very smooth

and the environment is very relaxing. I tried to find Han’s body but nothing is here not even

the blood spilt which was a lot of mess yesterday. I tried to remember what happened

last night. I remember that there was light coming through my magical inventory which I use

to store my goods. I look inside my magical bag and only one thing was missing, which was

the ‘Soul Gem’ I found and there was a sword which was not there before. That sword

belonged to Han but I don’t know how it gets here. It must have been soul gem which gets

activated and shining but what really happened?

“Grrrrr….”

I was feeling very hungry, I need some food to gain my strength back and think about this

later. I feel like my body had gotten heavy somehow, I think it is because of tiredness and

needed some rest.

I find a good hotel to rest and got breakfast with some beer. I think food tastes ten times

better when you are really hungry. I paid my two gold coins which I found in the ruin for the

food and the room. I the owner of this hotel is a really nice lady. She allowed me to stay for

five days. I am really feeling very sleepy now after having such a nice breakfast I head

towards my room. The room was not a luxury one, it had an old wooden bed and spiders

were living in every corner. There was an old dusty mirror, I look inside it and was shocked

to see Han inside the mirror. “Wait, Am I dreaming?” I said. Only then after that, I realize

that it was not Han in the mirror but it was me inside Han’s body.

I could not believe my eyes, how can this be possible. Then only I realize that it must be the

soul gem which has done all this. There is no mark of cut on my neck where the kobold has

attacked Han. It was all healed like nothing has happened anything before. “What I’m going

to do now? Where is my real body then?” I thought inside my head. I tried to relax for now. I

lied down on the bed and fell asleep. When I wake up and looked outside the window, the sun has already set, it was night time. I looked inside the mirror once again and realized that

it was not a dream.

I wouldn’t sleep at night. I took out my spellbook and tried to cast some simple spells, it

worked.

“At least my magic is not gone”.

I open my magical bag and tried holding that sword, I had never before wielded a sword. But

when I hold the sword in my hand I felt like I know what I am doing. I swing the sword like a

warrior and accidentally bumped into the wall.

“Oops! I need to be careful about not damaging the room or goanna end up paying for it.”

I spent my whole night practising my magic and learned the sharp techniques of the sword

which was already inside my head. It was a memory of Han which I remembered. In this

world learning both sorcery and melee techniques was not an easy task.

A person can only spend his whole life mastering magic or swordsmanship.

There was a large variety of magical spells as well as melee weapon techniques for warrior

and no one can master both. Very few legendary heroes of the world would pull that off.

The wizards can only practice with their long remembering long words while the warrior

only trains with melee weapons.

“And I’m also going to become one of the legendary heroes”.

I left the hotel room before dawn. I reached deep into woods to practice the more. I already

got into this body which was skilled in with melee weapons, and my magical skills combined

can give me an ultimate advantage into the battle. Han has really learned many swords

techniques but he was very kind and could not harm a living being. I think that’s the reason

he is killed.

I spend hours below the waterfall meditating to cleanse the mind, body and soul. Then after

that, I did Leg squats, two hundred push-ups and plank. These routine exercises must have

been part of Han’s daily life because even after doing so much work out for the first time in

the life I was not feeling tired at all. If I was in my original body I would have not able to pull off

this training. Magic caster doesn’t need physical training like warriors.

I took out my sword, and examine it first. Its edge was not really that sharp it looked like it

has been used many times and it’s quite an old sword. Nevertheless, I only needed it for practice. I hold the sword with both of my hands and swing it hard. After swinging the sword

a tried to combine my magical skills to it. I cast a fire spell and tried concentrating it on the

edges of the blade. The point of the sword started to glow red and suddenly the fire grew

big. I throw the sword away. It was not that easy as I had thought it would be.

I again hold the sword with my two hands and cast the fire spell. This time I tried making a

straight fire into the air and slowly bringing the fire towards the edges of the sword. It

worked, now I only needed to maintain it and try swinging with it. But after a few minutes,

the sword started to glow red and my hands started burning. I throw the sword again on the

ground. I need to fix this problem first. I need a sword that cannot burn trough fire.

There is those type of swords which are made from special crystal which is not affected by

fire but getting hands-on those type of swords would cost lots of gold which I didn’t have

right now. Those type of swords really has sharp blades which can cut through rock without

breaking. Maybe it can find that crystals I can make a sword of my own with my creation magic.

“I should give it a try”.

I then began on a quest to find those crystals.
