Chapter 123

'I'm becoming too paranoid, and at this point, it isn't even me, it's this damn body moving on its own.' My frown deepened but I couldn't do anything to resolve my mental turmoil, or at least not for now.
The best thing I could do was try and overcome my fear of dying...
I had found myself sitting on the ground with my head tilted to look toward the sky.
My eyes seemed to have lost their previous glint. They had become lifeless and empty as if everything I had ever lived for was no more.
Still, if one were to look deep into my eyes they would see an unwavering fire in the middle of a cold antarctic, facing off and fighting the piercing cold winds with enough fervor and energy to go on like this for years.
However, to the passing observer, it might seem like I was simply looking into the sky and reminiscing something, I was looking at a brightly lit screen that floated in front of me and did not disappear even after I blinked or closed my eyes.
It had been almost 2 days ever since I had been rebirthed into this world with a new body that I could recognize as mine, yet not mine at the same time.
My eyes were telling me that nothing other than my muscle definition had changed, yet my mind and heart were telling me that the body I was now inhabiting was nothing like the one I had left behind barely 3 days ago.
I continued to look at the notification before finally looking toward the ground and letting out a heavy sigh that had been weighing down on my chest for as long as I could remember, yet I knew that letting it out would not fix anything since the weight would always be there.
It was something similar to feeling the weight of your sins, a weight that would always be there no matter how much you tried to forget. It was a weight ingrained into my very soul.
Over the last two days, all I had been doing was running, hiding, and eventually being forced into fights that I would easily dominate in.
I did not have to face anything like the treant, skinwalker, or even the creature that closely resembled a T-rex.
