When he remembered all the bullshit that happened to him he was angry, sad and a little confused. He was angry about being betrayed, sad that he died for naught, and confused because he thought there was going to be something special after his death.

But when he looked down he wasn't ready for what he seen. His body wasn't HIS body at the time of his death, to be specific it's the body he had when he was 12. He was sure it was his body for 3 reasons.

1. The birth mark he has on his left pec, 2. His scar he had gotten from his abusive mother, 3. He was just forming pecs.

When he was sure that it was his body from his early years he started to focus on the bigger picture. I remember everything that happened in my past life. He was still shook though because it wasn't easy for him to believe when he "died" that he would awaken in a younger version of his body.

After taken 5 minutes to realize this wasn't a dream he did what anyone experienced in survival tactics would do. Survey his immediate area then work outwards, when he looked around at that moment he realized he in a clearing. Filled with green grass and was mostly flat for the exception of tiny mounds every so often. It was night but for some reason his vision wasn't effected, the only reason he realized it was night actually, was because of the moon.

He then started to strain his hearing but as soon as he did, he was hit with a headache that felt like someone constantly smashing at his skull with a 10 pound hammer. This lasted for 10 seconds before he fainted from the pain, but when he woke up the first thing that he noticed where memories that weren't memories but more like a living thing or item. He had 5 of these little creature type things in his mind, he immediately was alarmed because they weren't there before he think. 'Great now I'm seeing things inside my own head that I dont even know!'

But after he thought of that his mind stopped at a thought. ' Why does this one in the middle look like a Phoenix?!' He has saw many drawing of Phoenixs whe he was a kid. He wasn't popular so he always just sat in the classroom and read fictional stories as a way to pass time. But before he could investigate more he heard a growl, as time passed he heard it again then he realized the source. 'How did I not know I was this hungry before?' He then realized what a sorry state he was in and got an immediate sence of uneasiness. He was a mercenary a legendary ranked one at that so he knew the importance of a strong body and self-care more then anyone else, so he decided to try to find a source of water and hopefully food. But when he stood up he chose to follow the moon and hope for a source of water.

He walked for 15 minutes before he started to really feel the effects on his weak body. He started to slump forward a bit and he started to drag his feet more, and started to slowly lose his train of thought. But as soon as the 25 minute mark was about to happen he found a stream! He cautiously walked to the stream while keeping a look out because animals and people would gather near water because it was important for survival.

When he saw no one though he stared at the stream for a minute because it had crystal clear water that was rushing past. He first washed his hands a little the he cupped his hands and brought small amounts of water towards his mouth. When he did this he decreased the risk of getting caught off guard by others, after 7 cycles of this he felt refreshed.

He then realized something that shook him, he was wearing clothes that he had never seen before. The closest thing he could use to describe the clothes was rags. It looked like rags that where patched together for pants and torso. This was a minor setup back on his train of thought though but he was actually happy he wasn't butt naked in the middle of the woods.

He slowly started to take off his shirt and put it in the water to wash some of the dirt. after getting the dirt off he went to a tree and hung it up so that it could dry, he then took off his pants but not wash them yet until the shirt was done so for the time being he folded the pants and put them on a nearby rock then he slowly started to transcend into the water so he could get the dirt off of himself.

He was in the water for awhile until the dirt finally came off and showed his fine white skin that looked like the fairest of maidens, he then washed his hair the dust came off relatively easily and when it was gone it showed the blackest of hair that looked like it could swallow anything. he then washed his face, when he was done it showed a stunningly handsome young boy that looked like he transcended from the heavens.

Too be honest he never really liked his looks because it made him look delicate and like a fairy. But he liked that he always had naturally short hair for some odd reason, it never needed to be cleaned much and was easy to fight with unlike long hair that could be grabbed. When he was done he walked to the edge of the water and got out. It was slowly starting to turn to dawn and he got a clearer view of the his surrounding as the light broke through the trees. He was taken aback by the beautiful shine of the water like thousands of pearls.

After he got done with the original wave of shock he started to work on his fighting techniques from his past life to make sure he is honed for battle when it came down to it. He still needed to be in tip top condition just in case a fight were to happen against him and a animal. He went through 5 rotations of each of his techniques that could be done solo trying to rebuild his muscle memory.

After that he decided that his shirt was dry enough and he went and cleaned his pants and hung them up. After two hours of waiting for his pants he decided that it was enought and got dressed, he then started moving west trying to find a town or a city literally anything that could give him food. But while he was walking he was looking for plants that have been bitten by animals because they may be edible to him as well. He didn't even manage to find one though so he was a little disappointed at his luck. After two hours of walking he found a village, he was ecstatic and started making his way toward it.
