Chapter 3: The Holy Dragon Knight.
Waking up from his two days slumber, Luis groggily opened his gray eyes. There was no panic or anxious expression on his face like before. He was completely calm.
He noticed his body wasn't floating anymore, and he was lying on a bloodied, dry bed. All the injuries he received from his murder were already healed. He held his head while still trying to get over his experience.
He sat up, feeling his hands and then his legs. It was a familiar yet unfamiliar feeling.
'How long has it been since I moved around on my own?'
Looking around the room where he was unconscious for the past two days while his body was healing itself, covered in yellow lightning. He found the room familiar within a separate set of memories of that his own.
His gaze fell on the room he was in. He was familiar cause it was his room. Not in his house but in a separate high-class apartment in Lurandal city that he had purchased some time ago.
He stood up after getting familiar with the unfamiliar body and walked in front of the human-sized mirror where he saw his reflection. A handsome dark-haired teenage boy with gray color eyes. His lean, chiseled body was healed but still covered in dried blood, whose disgusting smell made him nauseous.
There were a lot of thoughts in his mind. But he pushed them aside, deciding to take a bath first because the smell was unbearable.
He hurriedly went inside the bathroom to take a 1-hour long shower to remove the dried blood from his body patiently.
He changed into a new set of clothes and went to a different room, then slumped on his bed and stared at the ceiling. Tears trickled down his eyes as he lay there silently. Thinking about all that happened to him, he couldn't help but cry tears in grief.
'I am sorry... Sis.' His name was Ethan Gray. A 27-year-old man, a terminally ill patient whose only family left were his elder sister, her husband, and his nephew. Ever since his illness was discovered, he had been a great weight on his sister and her family, and even in his final moments, he felt remorseful for all the difficulty he had brought them. He had already accepted his death when his consciousness faded from the sudden attack he had. He thought that was his end as he will fall into eternal slumber.
At least that's what it should have happened until he found himself in the body of someone else who was already murdered.
From the memories he received, he found he was in a different world from his own. But because his soul merged with the memories of Luis left in his body, he had a somewhat understanding of his situation. Now that he had received Luis' memory, he had already accepted his new identity as Luis Suarez.
'I'm not Ethan anymore, I'm Luis. Luis Suarez, son of Ronald Suarez and Lumine Desmond.' Thinking of this, Luis couldn't help but sigh.
"Now that I have taken over your body. I'll live a good life for both of us and also take revenge for you. You can rest assured." Although he knew there was no point in saying all that, after all, old Luis was already dead. But maybe it was for his self-conscience, he decided to take that vow.
Remembering the Assassin and how he brutally murdered the old Luis, his eyes were filled with hatred. Luis' gray eyes had a dangerous glimmer on them.
He took out the spare mana bracelet from the drawer and wore it. As soon as it was attached to his skin, it automatically registered Luis' ID through his DNA.
When Luis saw the number of missed calls from his parents, a cold sweat ran down his spine.
[216 Missed Calls from Lumine Desmond.]
[112 Missed Calls from Ronald Suarez.]
There were also calls from his family butler but he had no time to check anymore as a beep sounded and another call came from his mother.
*Beep*
"Hey, Mom." Luis greeted her casually, as he normally does.
The hologram of his mother's face appeared in front of him as she blankly looked at him with a myriad of emotions. Relief, anxiety, anger, guilt, sorrow.
"WHAT THE H*LL DO YOU MEAN 'Hey, Mom.'? WHERE WERE YOU THE LAST THREE DAYS? WHERE ARE YOU RIGHT NOW?", Lumine shouted in a rage, which he had expected.
Luis felt guilty seeing her seething in anger.
"Calm down Mom, I am fine." Hearing this, Lumine narrowed her eyes. "Remember the apartment I purchased in Lurandal City?" With her nod, he continued. "I'll explain everything once I return home." Seeing his serious expression, Lumine calmed down. But regardless, she was angry.
"Stay right there." Without waiting for his further explanation, she ended the call.
*Beep*
"Aw man, she is pissed."
After the call ended, Luis' eyes turned serious as he started searching for information on the internet confirming some information from his memories.
"Ha, Haha." A laugh escaped his mouth when he found how correct his assumption was. Then he became depressed because his assumption was correct.
The world he was in was very familiar to Luis, not only in Luis' memory but also in Ethan's memory. The world he was in was extremely similar to the world in a game that he used to play with his nephew in the hospital bed.
[The Holy Dragon Knight]
This game was introduced to him by his nephew Mark, who was a 16-year-old teenager. Ethan and his sister had a big age difference between them. After he was admitted to the hospital, Mark would spend most of his time with Ethan after school.
They were very close, and this was the game they played together.
Ethan doesn't know much about the history of this game or the developers, but he still enjoyed the vast and interesting world depicted inside it.
From what Ethan had learned from Mark, this game was very popular, and he believed it so.
