1 New World

A young boy froze on his bed when he saw his new surroundings, 'what the f***, why is everything out of wood like I came back to my home village? Ok, Ye Chen think what happened last night', raising his new hand to his head. When his eye catches a glimpse of his hand, before he can form a thought, his head hits the cold dirt floor. Outside what can barely be called a house, a woman with her son was walking by until a scream came from the house.

"Mommy should we take a look they may need some help", the Mother got her son's hand and dragged him away. "Don't ever get near those people, we don't know where THAT woman came from and nobody ever visits her, whatever secrets she has, it will do no good getting close to them".

Ye Chen is still upside down with his head on the floor and leg on the bed and the hit on his head seems to unlock the trap memory of the original owner. 'My name is Wolfhart I'm 7 years old, and I live in an old hunter shack between a forest and the village'. Wolfhart suddenly feels a cold hand touching his feet. 

"Honey cough..cough.. what happened".

'Oh mom Nothing I just tripped and fell, I'm getting water now bye', with that the young boy ran out of the house. The journey to the village well took an hour to go and come back, enough time for Ye Chen now Wolfhard get his thoughts sorted out.

'I somehow got isekai, nothing in this boy's memories correlated with my knowledge of the world. The village I'm in resides in belongs to the Drourian Empire and me not being a history buff, it's still up in the air if this is the past or a different world'.

'This kid just lives a normal village life the only strange thing is how isolated they are from the other villagers, they weren't even allowed to live in the village but in a shack near the forest, if a predator ever journeys out the shack won't keep the animal out'.

'What a s*** life I miss my phone and AC', after feeling sad for himself, Wolfhard decided to keep himself busy with the daily chores as he remembered it was his responsibility since his mother had been bedridden for a week now. Finishing the house chores, he went to check the small traps his mother set up before someone found them. 

'So this is the forest, apparently is a very large and dangerous one at that too, we really are too close to this place'. The day went by with Wolfhard only getting a rabbit, coming back to the house to lock it up for dinner at night, and cooking some vegetables for himself and his mother as breakfast. Wolfhard spends most of the day looking for vegetables as that is what he always does after his mother got ill. 

'Now that is nighttime, Mother looks really bad she was always skinny but now it's on another level also ghostly pale, she probably doesn't have much time'. When this thought appears in his mind, a coldness rolls down his cheeks. Why I'm crying she isn't my mother but contrary to Wolfhard thoughts the tears just kept coming. It is like his body instinctively knows that it should cry. Wolfhard went to bed that night with red eyes and a bad mood.

It has now been a week Wolfhard doesn't know how he came into this new body but he does remember drinking a lot and probably getting hit by a truck walking home. Nothing new has happened just that none of the villagers talk to him and simple herb medicines are not working on his mother. What illness does Mother have she sleeps more and more every day, 'F*** there are no doctors here and the closest town is days out. I'm really forced to watch Mother die helpless to do anything, what a cruel god who sent me here'.

Wolfhard spent the night cursing out god and the villagers who just watched his mother getting worse. Ye Chen unconsciously affected by the true WolfHard memories, started to see Maria as a true mother. 

Finally, the time comes two weeks after his reincarnation his mother has died. The little wolfhard spent two days digging and burying his mother. 'Now I'm alone in this world, staring at the stars, what do I do now, what can a 7-year-old boy even do alone'?

Affect by his mother's death and the sense of loss, Wolfhard became a robot doing what he always had done the last two weeks and then going to sleep with the ever-so-present feeling of loss.

One Month has passed and still doesn't know anything not even the name of the village, in his memories the only time he traveled out of the village was to Limesvilles town when his mother took him. 'Luckily I can survive on the vegetables and the rare trap catches but this just surviving not living'. 

Still, in deep thought Wolfhard heard what sounded like horses opening the door there were two mounted people and a villager in the middle.

"Is this the boy, yes sir that the son of the woman named Maria", the older Knight seeing the boy and the grave near the house didn't ask any further questions and signaled to the other ride. WolfHard found himself under the young rider's armpit as he watched the villager with a copper coin in his hand getting smaller.
