《Knowledge and Power》The new me
Advertisement
Over the time I slept inside of my mother I seemed to have forgotten everything. Until I was slightly over a year old I had no memories left. Then they gradually started to come back. One after another I was a really confused little child, is what my new parents told me afterwards.
When I reached the age of two and about five month in autumn, one day I hugged my crying mother. She had fought with my dad, but just a day later they made up, because I seemed to be ill.
Truthfully I was not really ill, just as mom was holding me close to her, I heard her heartbeat resonating deep within me and suddenly all the missing memories came back. Even the one in my mothers womb, which was kinda creepy. Just a few details were missing, but it was just like the two children had told me. I was really good at remembering things, at least those I understood or was interested in, like I already said. And therefore a lot of information stormed my little brain and I collapsed due to the stress.
For four days I slept. When I woke up my mind was sorted. I had access to all the knowledge I gathered in my past life and that was a considerable amount!
I do not know the languages I had learned, but knew about linguistic and such. Characteristics of those different languages and their grammar.
I do not know any specific names of people, be it historical ones or the ones I personally knew. I do know what was written about the history of my original world, I do not know any country names, I remember what happened in my life and what happened to the few people I cared about, I do not know how I and they looked like. To tell the truth there were very few people I cared about. Besides members of my family there were some of my professors at university, two teacher, some brilliant colleagues and people I looked up to.

I am ashamed of myself for forgetting most of the people that worked under me.
After I got my memories back, the first thing I thought about was analyzing in what kind of world I am living now. It iss definitely some kind of medieval times. The fact that there are large animals I have never seen before made it clear that it is not in the past of my original world.
My new name is Chelo Melosake Widjomson.
I grew up with my new parents who call me their little wonder, because they tried to get a child for so many years and finally got me. We lived in the city. My mother Melosa is a blacksmith and owns a workshop. My father Widjom is an enchanter and has his shop right next to my mothers, where he sells magic imbued and enchanted goods. Also some alchemetical ingredients and tools.
It is kind of a tradition to name your child after the parents, just like they did in some Countries way back in the past of our World.
Apparently both of my parents are able to use magic and therefore I have a magical aptitude myself, at least I should have.
Realizing my premature knowledge and ability to learn quickly they brought me to school at the age of four. One year earlier than regular children. Surprisingly there was another child my age. She was one of my neighbours. A girl I had seen outside my window sometimes.
At school I somehow realized for the first time, I had also forgotten about letters, numbers and signs I used in my old world. Be it for writing or even road signs. It also had its own benefits. Not knowing those made it a lot easier to learn a new scripture. Perhaps it was my new young brain, too. Well, at least it was unexpectedly easy to learn the new letters and numbers.

Back home I studied the books we had, Some of them about history, the art of blacksmiths or magic. We also had novels, legends and fairy tales.
After my father saw me reading an old tome of his he told me to not do it alone and said he will teach me magic if I wanted to, but not until the day I reached my 9th birthday. The reason is simply that a child magic is too unstable and forms itself while maturing mentally.
I guess he shouldn't be worried anymore about my mentally qualification, because my old self had manifested itself in this tiny body.
I don't feel old at all and I have no problem being a child, because my past lifes memories are so vague it feels more like another persons mind that has been absorbed. Like a movie I have seen and that makes it a lot easier living here. Good job children who send me here!
After I learned to write I had the idea of writing down about my new life.
The main reason is to reflect on my actions, so it will remind me of not to end up like my old self...
Hopefully...
And here is where my story actually starts. Because we reached my present state.

8 156Dream Dungeon
Welcome to the dream dungeon. Ely suddenly finds himself in a mysterious dungeon accessed only through sleeping. Many people are drawn into this dream world, confused and mystified. Those in this dungeon must kill monsters to survive; maybe even each other. Join Ely as he struggles to survive a ruthless environment. What replaces his rest is untold trauma. What seems like an innocent game trope turns into a nightmare. This is a story of tragedy and the path to ultimate power. All in the hopes of an uncertain survival. _________ This fiction has NOT been abandoned. I made a haughty promise earlier to not worry because I'll continue this series, and with things lately, I've only proved myself a liar. Further promises dwindled, and I've lost trust. So many things have been going on recently that I've been booked. I will refrain from making any future guarantees or promises as my busy schedule will stay with me for a long long while. Time for me to actually spend on writing and revising won't appear until at the least November 19. I won't say expect that's when I'll restart, but you can expect expecting it to maybe happen. That's really shallow. But with everything going on, I've let my small reading base down. I apologize. I still stick by my statement though that I won't abandon this project. I plan to stick it to the end, no matter the delay. Most importantly, thank you everyone; readers who both like and dislike my work. I appreciate your time spent on my dumb imagination. Stay toasty my readers in this winter season. Cheers. UPDATE: We're back on track. Thank you for your patience. Any future readers, heyo! Glad you're here. UPDATE 2: So far it's been 21 days since I last uploaded a chapter. The best thing done for any fiction, no matter how good it is, is that it continues, and I have a bad history with that. 1 fiction on hiatus and already more delays with less than 20 chapters in this fiction. I've been very preoccupied with adding more things to do in my life rather than actually committing to any particular thing. That applies primarily to this. I cannot abandon this, as busy as my future looks and will look as I get busier and busier. Someday, I hope, I will be able to sit down and just write. just. write. But for now, I ask for patience. I suppose I'm glad this fiction hasn't picked up so that I don't disappoint too many people if any really. But I need to commit and it's going to happen sometime and sometime soon. No more flowery words. I'll see you later. UPDATE 3: It's very evident I won't be able to pick up this story for a while. With AP Testing, competitions, and other things I am busier than ever. But I must complete this fiction. I have too. Until next time. UPDATE 4: It is now the summer. I owe everyone an apology. Chances are, nobody's around to see this, and that is okay. I only blame myself for this sort of brokenness of a fiction, not that it is actually that bad but I am just exaggerating it for dramatic effect.But what's not exaggerated is the severity of my broken promise. I apologize for my naive claims about finishing a novel that I couldn't finish and that I didn't have the discipline to finish. Nor the skills, really, I was and am still an immature writer.What is to place now? I want to make it clear I understand this is my fault. I will man up to this. And I will accept any criticism. I understand I messed up. Reading Stephen King's On Writing made it clear to me that I need to do two things:Read lots.And write lots.I have done neither. If I don't have the time to read often, how do I expect to write? I need to become more experienced. I need to become a serious writer.So if I want to dream of continuing, I need to at least fulfill both requirements. I enjoy writing. I haven't written seriously outside of school in a while. I planned to write this summer and finish this. I made a lot of promises that I didn't keep.So there's that. I won't enact any self-pity, or be foolishly obsessed. What I did was wrong, and I must deal with it. I let down readers. And I apologize.I hope I can find forgiveness. This is a writer's sin.I won't promise I'll finish this. I intend to finish this, at some point, because writing is fun and I want to write. But how things are don't reflect that. Maybe I'll finish this at some point. Maybe I won't. I won't be naive to make that promise.I thank everyone who has read this if this is the end. If not, and hopefully not, I thank everyone who is to read future chapters. I thank everyone who allowed me to live in the miniscule little dream of mine as I passed my days. I thank everyone who cares enough to read this. Until next time, peace everyone. Thank you. You are all great readers and great people. I wish everyone the best in whatever reading/writing endeavors follow you henceforth.
