Death

It was night. There was only one candle burning. Henry was sitting on a bed and eating porridge. While eating he thought that he should try to know more about this world. He knew almost nothing where he was. his body looked identical but there was still a slight difference in height and physique. The system has teleported him so the system must know at least some details about his present.

From all the novels he had read back on earth the transcenders would inherit the memories of the previous host of the Body. But he did not obtain any memories. Why isn't there any fairness in this world? Isn't it unfair?

"System can I get the memories of the previous host of the body".

" Host already has memory fragments remaining inside his body. The host just needs to cultivate to soul expansion realm to perform a forced memory interrogation."

'Again, this cultivation. I should ask the system.'

"What is this cultivation system and how much time does one need to cultivate to that realm."

"An ordinary cultivator requires only 400 years but if one focuses only on cultivating the soul one may do it in even less than 100 years."

Hearing the response Henry felt constipated.

What the heck do you mean by "only" 400 years. Are you sure you are not teasing me?

"Cough, cough, is there no way to absorb the memory fragments now? "

"System can see that host is being lazy."

Hearing such insulting words he could no longer remain calm."

"You... I am not being lazy, 400 years the heck, how am I going to live with the girl till then without my memories?"

The sudden erupt of anger could be seen on his face.

The girl saw his anger and became startled

"Are you fine brother?"

Henry saw that he startled her and replied

"I was thinking about something else."

She looked into his eyes and said "please don't think of revenge or something like that."

Henry looked at her eyes. She had the same eyes.

He couldn't help but wonder if both are the same person. There was concern in those tender eyes. He was moved.

"No, I am not thinking of revenge." he consoled her.

"Then promise me you won't fight with them again."

"This....um....okay I won't fight with them." he didn't know the past so he could only remain cautious. He also did not want to disappoint his sister.

Hearing his reply, a smile blossomed on her face. "Now that's like my brother. You don't look good fighting. I almost thought that I lost you."

Her eyes became moist again when she remembered the trauma she went through. She involuntarily clutched his hands tighter.

He couldn't help but remember the time when he lost his sister. he felt helpless as his sister died in his embrace. He could not help but shudder at the thought of it. He wanted to avoid the situation at all costs.

'I am so lucky to meet her again. Maybe I should thank the system for it. '

Food was finally finished. She ate the promised portion and got up to keep the bowl in the kitchen and do the dishes.

"I will be back in a moment. You should sleep, you are injured. Proper sleep will help you recover faster." She left the room.

He was lying on his back on the bed. He asked the system"Is there no alternative? "

"The system has some residual energy and can help you absorb the memory fragments but it will use up all the residual energy and the system won't help you in the future. The host should perform his karma."

'Huh, why is the system so obsessed with karma .' Henry thought.

"The system will help the host in absorbing all the memories when the host is in sleep because it will take a lot of time."

He thought that he should go to sleep now. He closed his eyes.

Beep " The host has a total of 9 memory fragments of which one is inside the soul sea of the host and 8 others are with the system. Does the host want to assimilate all the memory fragments?"

'Could it be that after death after death, the memories of the previous owner of the body split into many fragments '?he thought.

"Okay system, assimilate all the memories,"

"Host please note that you will only be accessible to their memories when they had the same cultivation as the host as your soul sea is currently not able to store such a huge amount of data. The rest of the memories will be locked away and will unlock only when the host reaches the same cultivation. Also, note that only the beneficial memories will be retained and the unnecessary merits will be erased."

He felt a strange warmth all over his body. It felt as if was drugged. He had no words to describe this intoxicating feeling. He was slowly immersed in this feeling.

The candle had burned out. There was complete silence. Moonlight entered the room through a small window. A girl slowly entered the room. She looked at the sleeping person and caressed his cheeks. She then took a quilt and spread it on the floor. She then went to sleep on it.

Henry was having strange dreams. First, he saw himself as a small child with a happy family. He then witnessed the loss of his parents. He saw many different scenes with his sister and he saw how he got beaten up to the current state of injury.

He saw some men harassing his sister. His sister tolerated it for a while but then she begged them to leave her alone.

A thin boy among them stepped forward and grabbed her hair and said, "Who do you think you are? It's your fortune that the young master is giving you some attention."

Her hair hurt. She did not say anything to him and merely glared at him.

Suddenly a young man arrived there and threw a punch at the face of the person grabbing the hair of the girl.

"You bastard stay your hands away from her."

The thin man was caught off guard but suddenly regained his composure.

He started to beat the young man until the young man stopped moving. The girl tried to save him but he was held back by the other men. She could only

watch as the young man was beaten up.

Finally, when he stopped beating him, The girl ran up to the unconscious body and started crying.

"That bastard deserves it. How dare he try to punch me." The thin man said in displeasure. A fat man among the group of men, who dressed in fine silk robes and was wearing 2 rings, slapped him and said " How dare you pull her hair? Apologize to her right now.". The thin man turned towards her and said "Sorry ". It could be clearly seen on his face that he was unwilling. The girl did not respond to him. The fat man said to her "I hope that fairy Angela would forgive this lowly servant for his misdeeds." The girl still did not respond. She just held the hands of the young man and cried non-stop. The group of men left that place after some time.

Many people were looking pitifully at the duo but nobody dared to say anything to the group of men.

Seeing this, Henry's blood started to boil. This is how he ended up dead? This indeed seemed to be the case.
