Chapter 5

Beep... Beep... Beep...

I slowly opened my eyes, the soft electronic beeping of monitors echoing in the background. Still lying down, I used my gaze to scan my surroundings, taking in the sterile, white walls and the unfamiliar medical equipment. As I shifted slightly, a sudden, sharp pain shot through my head, as if a lightning bolt had struck within my skull.

"Ouch, my head hurts," I groaned, my voice barely audible. It felt as if my cranium was being split open. Struggling to make sense of my situation, I managed to sit upright on the bed, my movements slow and cautious. One hand instinctively clutched my throbbing head.

Where was I? What had I been doing before this? How did I end up in this unfamiliar place? A torrent of questions flooded my mind, and I desperately tried to recall the events leading up to this moment. However, the more I strained to remember, the more the pain in my head intensified, like a relentless drumbeat in my temples.

"I think it's better if I don't try to recall for the moment," I muttered to myself, deciding to give my aching mind a much-needed respite. I closed my eyes, taking slow, deep breaths to calm the throbbing pain within my head.

The silence was broken by the soft creak of a door being pushed open. I turned my head toward the source of the sound and watched as a woman in her late twenties entered the room. Her presence commanded an air of professionalism, and she moved with a grace and confidence that immediately captured my attention.

She was dressed in a pristine white lab coat, the emblem of a healthcare professional, which billowed slightly with her every step. Beneath the coat, she wore a form-fitting dress in a subdued shade of blue. Its clean lines and tailored fit accentuated her slender figure, lending an air of sophistication to her appearance.

The dress, like her demeanor, was a testament to precision and attention to detail. It featured a modest neckline and three-quarter sleeves, a practical choice for someone in her line of work. Her long, chestnut hair was neatly pulled back into a bun, with a few loose strands framing her face, adding a touch of effortless elegance to her overall look. Wire-rimmed glasses rested on her nose, completing her studious yet approachable image.

As she drew nearer, I couldn't help but be captivated by the woman's poise and the way she carried herself. Her presence felt calming, like a reassuring presence amidst the chaos that had enveloped my senses. She exuded an aura of competence and compassion, like a beacon of hope in our troubled circumstances.

"Good, you're finally awake," she greeted me, holding a set of files in her hands. Her voice was soft but carried an air of authority.

I snapped out of my contemplation of her presence and realized that I needed answers. "Ma'am, do you know where I am and how I got here?" I asked, my voice tinged with urgency. I couldn't seem to remember anything about the events leading to my current predicament, and a sense of disorientation gnawed at me.

She regarded me with a mildly puzzled expression before her features softened with understanding. "It's this amnesia," she explained with a sigh. "Your teacher brought you here in a hurry. You were in pain, screaming about your head, and then you fainted."

Her words offered some clarity, but they also deepened my confusion. I desperately tried to recall the moments before I had lost consciousness, but my memory remained shrouded in darkness. As I wracked my brain, searching for any fragment of recollection, a sudden, excruciating pain coursed through my head again, like a blade slicing through my thoughts.

But this time, something different happened. As the pain subsided, my mind began to clear, and I started to remember. I remembered talking to a girl named Emily Anderson, a face I had found familiar and charming. Her name triggered a cascade of memories, like a dam breaking and releasing a flood of images and emotions.

While I was still in the process of recovering my lost memories, I noticed something unusual happening right in front of me. A set of letters materialized in the air, hovering like a ghostly apparition.

[DO YOU WISH TO UNLOCK YOUR PAST MEMORIES? ]

[ YES / NO ]

I blinked in astonishment, trying to make sense of the ethereal letters. "What is this? Is it some kind of game?" I muttered aloud to myself.

Turning my head, I directed my gaze toward the woman before me, hoping for some guidance or explanation. "Ma'am, can you see these letters?" I inquired, a hint of trepidation in my voice.

She appeared genuinely puzzled, her brow furrowing as she looked in the direction I was pointing. "What are you talking about? What letters?" she asked, her confusion palpable.

My heart sank as I realized that she couldn't perceive the mysterious letters. It was as though they were meant for my eyes alone. After a moment's hesitation, I decided to interact with them and tapped the option 'yes.'

[ INITIATING RECALLING PAST MEMORIES... ]

[ RECALLING PAST MEMORIES.... ]

[ PAST MEMORIES RECALLED... ]

As the final letter disappeared, a sudden burst of memories from my past lives surged through my consciousness. Unlike before, this wave of recollection didn't bring along the familiar, agonizing headache. Instead, it flowed smoothly, revealing images, emotions, and experiences from my previous existences.

I witnessed fragments of my past lives, vivid and poignant

I saw moments of joy and heartache, love and loss. Each memory was like a thread woven into the tapestry of my soul's journey through time. I saw how I had met my end in a previous life, the choices I had made, and the consequences they had wrought.

One memory stood out, like a beacon in the darkness. It was a recollection of a girl named Emily Anderson, the same girl from my recent memories. But in this past life, our connection had been different, marked by a bond that transcended time and space.

The pain of my previous existence lingered, and I realized that I had been given a unique opportunity to make different choices in this lifetime, to break free from the cycle of suffering that had plagued me.

However, as I reflected on my newfound understanding, something extraordinary happened. A set of letters once again materialized before me.

[ DO YOU WISH TO UNLOCK YOUR PAST LIFE ABILITIES? ]

[ YES / NO ]

I couldn't help but be intrigued. The choice was mine to make, and it held the promise of unlocking dormant powers hidden within me. The memories of my past lives had brought clarity and purpose to my existence, and I was determined to embrace the path that lay ahead.

With a sense of anticipation, I touched the option 'yes,' eager to embark on a journey that would unveil the full extent of my potential.

[Unlocking Hidden Skill]

[Mind Control]

As the last letter faded away, I could feel a surge of energy coursing through me. It was as if I had tapped into a wellspring of ancient knowledge and power. My senses sharpened, and I became aware of the threads of destiny weaving around me.

With newfound clarity and resolve, I whispered to myself, "How can I use these abilities to their fullest? This school is full of livestocks to play with and also fill up my satisfaction and taste for revenge" I said with an evil grin shown on my face.
