《Umbra》 Rebirth Prologue: When I woke up there was nothing. Not a spec of light, not a vibration of sound, not even a memory in my brain...I don''t know how long I was asleep, nor why, and I have even less of an idea how I ended up here. The moment I started thinking I was immediately swarmed with pain and memories flooding my body, the pain was intense, I could feel it pulsating through my body as an immense wave that felt as though thousands of nails were tearing flesh and organs apart. As the pain began pushing me to my limits I could feel the blackness in my vision creeping forward ever so slightly, to me in this state, losing consciousness is a welcome relief to the pain.The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation. Ding! ---------- Hidden title received "??????????" Hidden ability received "??????????" ---------- Day 0: "Another life lived, another step closer. How many does that make it now?" A voice echoed in the back of my head, it jolted me, forcing me up. When I opened my eyes it wasn''t the same darkness I closed them in, but still, the nothingness was equally as suffocating. "Although, you''ve started to learn things a lot quicker than when we began" Again the voice spoke, this time it wasn''t directly into my head, but instead I heard it with my ears, and as I did I was slowly able to make out a shape. "See, you''re already adapting to being outside of your world, but you''re not ready yet. Now, you''re close, after billions of steps you''re finally at the door, you just need one last push."If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it. "Who are you? Why am I here?" My voice is dry, it burns to talk, I feel like I''ve gone months with out water and I can feel every word leaving my throat. "You''ll know when you''re ready, you don''t have to rush, we''ve been through this many times but you always seem to forget. I can''t answer any of your questions yet, but I will tell you one thing, you''re going to live a new life in a new world, one you''ve never lived before, but if you don''t succeed this time, everything was for nothing" At that moment, memories of my previous life wrangled my attention from the voice. Countries, mechanics, science, games and everything in between, my brain was being surged with information about Earth but nothing I was remembering had any personal connection. I had no memories of childhood, family or even my name. "Why can''t I remember anything about who I am?" "Well, the point is figuring that out, moving on" Ding!
