Card Master System - Chapter 2 Awakening

“Where am I?” Leo now opening his eyes realized that he was not dead, but alive.

Scanning his surroundings, it seemed as if he was in a small cave. The brightness from the world outside of the cave shone inside which woke him up. Standing up to stretch his body which was incredibly tensed up, Leo did not understand a thing.

“H-How?” looking down at his body, Leo realized that he had absolutely no wounds. However, he wasn’t even wearing his normal clothes! Leo could only gasp in confusion as he tried to make sense of all of this!

“Why am I so small?” pondered Leo as he saw a small stream of water pouring in the cave. Looking at his reflection, he realized that he was about ten years old again! When he apparently died, he was sixteen, but now, it seemed as if he became younger.

“How is this even possible?” thinking of what happened, made Leo afraid. He was not a very religious individual, and because of his suicide, there was no way that his destination was a good one. What confused him the most in this moment, was that his body showed no wounds!

After several minutes of having an anxiety attack, Leo finally stood up and took several deep breaths. “Maybe my past life was just a long dream and I accidentally fell into this cave? If that is the case, the only way out, is moving forward.” Seeing some random clothes close by on a skeleton, Leo decided to loot the corpse so that he would not be nude while exiting this place.

Leo was now wearing a brown robe of sorts. With his shining blue eyes and disheveled hair, he started to brush his long hair out of his face as he exited the cave. Luckily, his light brown hair was short enough to where he did not need a hair pin.

To his surprise, after he exited the cave, his surroundings were actually very simple. He could see grassland for miles, as well as a small village roughly several miles away from his current location. Behind the village, seemed to be an endless array of mountains.

These mountains had a mysterious look to them which did not feel normal to Leo. Taking a deep breath, Leo tried to ponder on what he should do now that it seemed the sun would be going down in the matter of hours.

“The only thing I could do now, is head towards that village. I hope that the village is a safe place, I would hate to end up dead again.” Leo thought as he started to sprint to towards the direction of the village.
