chapter 1:unsavory men.

James a uniquely average boy, having an average day, thought it would be one of the many days in his life when he would go to boring school come home see his family and go to bed. Fate had other plans for him.nuuuurrruuruurmm, nurrrrrrmrrmrmrmmrm 'JAMES!' 'What, what stop shouting in my ears already' 'You weren't listening did you bring the homework 'James was about to respond when he got decapitated and flattened into the pavement.

He felt like he was floating upwards with a blank mind unable to focus on anything until he saw an ethereal hand reaching for him in a white void, 'James... James and James reached out with something, hardly his hands, they were long gone...

'He's alive your baby's alive madam' After the midwife said this, the mother burst into tears of joy James rested in her arms making little to no noise, to the point the mother thought he was still dead 'What language are these people speaking, I can't understand a single word, but it does kinda sound like German' thought James.

As he turned his minuscule peanut head trying to get a closer look at his surroundings, when he saw a young woman that looked to be around the age of 16 to 17, she was beautiful with big blue eyes. Long black hair pearl white skin, innocent almond-shaped eyes along with having a deep noticeable dimple that appeared on her cheeks when she smiled, which she was doing a lot of considering her baby was just brought back from death.

'She should be my mother in this world, beautiful, I really hope I inherit her looks' contemplated James. Then it suddenly dawned on him,

that he could never see his family from his world again unless this nightmare situation was all just a terrible nightmare with all his hope he tried to regain consciousness 'c'mon James WAKE UP!' he exclaimed with a tremble in his voice, he couldn't hold it in any more and started balling his eyes out.'waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa' he returned to make it was like instinct for him.

All of this had played out in seconds 'Midwife can you please cast a healing spell on my boy, please I think there's something wrong with him, he just started tearing up, and I already tried feeding him' verbalized Herna [or his mother] unable to quell the baby's flood gates. The midwife, 'What the hell are these women saying' contemplated James as he sniffled in perplexion when he remembered what he was crying about and started again.

In that instance, the midwife was about to do something that would change his life forever. 'Get ready and brace the child' voiced the midwife steadying her hands and chanting 'Cure levis gradus' A small green glow emanated from her wrists to the tips of her fingers, the skin around that area turned grey and cracked a bit it looked like she had visibly aged by a week. After this James felt invigorated, he could no longer cry as a massive bomb had just been dropped on him, 'MAGIC EXISTS!' Conceived James, this, this stopped him crying in his tracks.

Magic existing was so surprising that he just couldn't cry, on top of that he was already thinking of a plan, 'if magic exists it might just be possible to get back to my home and see my family!' just then the door to his right opened, and a large man walked through singing a hearty song, he had blond hair was about 6 foot tall and looked to be around 25 from what James could perceive as a baby, the man was adorned with a cleft chin and fairly defined features, coupled with a plethora of faded scars all over his face along with a missing tooth, which is had been absent, James would've thought this man who he was assuming to be his father potentially could've been quite good-looking too.

The man ran over and picked up James noticeably sweating with a worried look on his face when he loudly announced 'Karl my beautiful boy! I only hope you do not have to face as many challenges in this world as we did' finishing his sentence by kissing James/Karl on the forehead. 'Put me down you beautiful where I'm trying to be sad in peace' James exclaimed trying to wriggle out of his father's grip. Karl was the only word that he understood, so he assumed it was his name, at least it was not Wilhelm' he sighed inwardly. His father proceeded to whisper something to his mother who didn't look very happy about what he had said, she looked terrified.

My mother proceeded to pick me up and walk towards another room in the house, when a string of anxiety-triggering thuds sounded on the door of the house,' what the hell is happening Karl thought not wanting to die on his first day on this new earth, his mother bolted with him to the back room along with the midwife who left through the back door urging the mother to come with her with an extremely worried facial expression', I can't leave my husband to die to them' whispered his mother. Seeing that she couldn't convince her to come with her, the midwife left in a hurry.

Suddenly 4 men barged in through the front door.' what's happening!' inwardly shouted Karl all he could do was look up at his mother's worried face, he was powerless. When he heard the four men shouting in translatable nonsense and his father shouting back, he knew something bad was going to happen, but he didn't expect what came next. BANG three loud gunshots resonated from the room to the front of them, Karl couldn't think, his mind was blank, even tho he barely knew the man he still felt bad and didn't think he deserved to get shot, but alas he couldn't worry about that now.

James looked up and saw his mother balling her eyes out trying to keep the noise down when they heard footsteps coming towards them, she ran out the door, protecting my head with her hands. That was my introduction into this world, if you thought that was bad it was only about to get worse, a lot worse.
