In a great wilderness, smoke could be seen rising to the skies. If one looked closer, one could see a tribe, this tribe seemed to be full of commotions as all the tribesmen are running about, seemly celebrating.

The tribe is a big one, with at least 200 huts visible in sight, it was well organized that it was like a small town. In the center of the tribe, one could see a statue of a golden bull that’s was a least 2 meters tall and 3 meters long. The statue was so lifelike that it seems that it could come to like at any second.

Contrary to the happy tribesmen in the tribe, at the outskirt of the tribe, the atmosphere was gloomy that it could make anyone’s skin to crawl. That’s because one could an old woman that seem to be more dead than alive in front of a grave that had been dug up on her knees.

The old women seem to be in her 80s’. She wore an old plain washed out clothes on her bone like body. Her body was so thin that one would wonder if a gust of wind could blow her away.

The old woman that is on her knees, cried and prayed to God as she made her request for her son to come back alive.

The old women cast her ash brown eyes at the hole she had dug up with her bares hands, wanting to see if God would bring her child back. After looking at the coffin in the hole, she saw that it was still stationary, not moving at all, the old women body started to tremble as anger and hatred flooded her heart.

“Why do you do this to me? I have worshiped you since I could remember, and you can’t allow me to simple see my child again?” She started to question her religion and the God she believes in. She had worshiped this God since she could remember.

Sonia had once wonder why they (she and her mother) worshiped this god when there was a divine totem spirt in the tribe, her mother’s response at the time was that the divine totem is not the one true god that create all things.

Startled by the revelation, Sonia taught at the time that it would be best to worship the one that was real instead of the false one.

As she worshiped this god, she had not once felt his presence nor as her day gotten better as her mother had told her, in fact her life could be said to be a living hell as she had given up too much and gotten nothing in return!

Hao at the point in time, open his eyes and started to glance around his surroundings, but found that his movement were severely restricted. Hao had no idea of where he was, as the last thing he remembered was using the reincarnation ability and then he was here.

As he laid there and was about to move, he was hit again with a familiar feeling of memories not his own inside of his head. Since he had experience this feeling before, he was not scared as he calmly reorganizes the memories.

“Wow, this is so cool! I can’t believe that I went back in time. Right now, I seem to be dead, that’s to say that I took over this dead body. Well I can buy it, considering I’m a spirt now.” Hao couldn’t stop muttering and talking to himself as he didn’t expect that the reincarnation ability to work on him. In fact, at that time, he was only thinking that once he tests it, he could then use the other abilities as well.

As Hao was moving around in the coffin, Sonia was staring at it with unblinking eyes that burnt with hope. It was then that she saw that the coffin moved faintly, she taught that something was wrong with her eyes. But seeing it happening repeatedly, she knew that she was not simply dreaming.

With a happy expression on her face, he jumped into the hole and stated to open the coffin. Just as she was about to opened it up, she stops. She was scared if she opened it, she would be disappointed at what she saw, so she hesitated, but she made up her mind in the end.

She pulled opened the coffin and inside of it, a young black man around the age of 17-18 years old could be seen looking around with curiosity in his dark eyes.

Seeing the young man, she revealed an excited expression on her face as she hugs him and started to cry in happiness. She seemed to have gotten at least a decade of life back as her face shown with a youthful glow.

“Mother release me, I can’t breathe.” Well he can’t breathe anyway since the body he is in is dead. As for why he called the women his mother? That’s because of the memories of the body, and considering he is using the body, he might as well call her as such.

“Apso, mother will never leave you again! If not for that reason you would not have died, I’m so sorry.” The woman screamed and cried happy as she cuddles her baby in her arms.

“Mother, if you don’t release me, I’m going to die again!” although he doesn’t have to breathe, he felt very suffocating in the woman’s arm as he is not used to having such affection shone to him. Although he enjoys the feeling, he knew that she isn’t doing this for him but for her son, her real son.

“Apso, how did you come back to life? I swear that the chief removed all your organs.” After calming down, she started to ask as she knew that it impossible for son to be alive as the chief had personally killed him and gave him organs at the sacrifice to the divine beast totem.

Looking at the women in front of him, he had mixed feeling as he knew that she would be angry to death if she knew that her son was dead and a demon like existence like him took over his body, but he feels that it was wrong to lie to her, thus he asked.

“Do you believe in God?” he said, already knowing the answer.

If it was before, she would not hesitant to say she believe in God, but now? She felt a mixed feeling for this so-called god. It was both gratitude and hatred, she felt gratitude since it finally did something for her but hatred because of all the suffering she went through to serve him but at the cost of something so dear to her life. After thinking for a while, she answered ‘no’.

Hearing the woman’s answer, Hao was startle and shocked as he simple could not believe what he was hearing. Hao knew from the memories of the body that this mother of his was a very religious woman that had followed his grandmother Corzine and sold their lives to God. So, to hear her say no, how couldn’t he be shocked?

“Mother, to hear you say this, what have happened since I have been gone for this change to happen?” a complicated look appears on his face a he looked at women that seemed to be 80 but only 30 years old, sadness surge into his heart as felt pain. He knew this was the soul of body that hadn’t disappeared yet that was affecting his mood, but he didn’t erase it, as its his body to begin with after all.

As she looked down at her son, Sonia felt that something was different about him but just couldn’t put her finger on it. Usually he would never think about her wellbeing, so why did he change all sudden? Doubt started to spurt in her heart as she looked him and answering his question.

“After you was killed for looking at the chief’s daughter with lust, I went to the divine beast totem statue to pray for an audience. I know that if I went to the chief, he would probably have killed me as to remove all troubles at the root. But at the time, I was ignorant that chief had given your organs to the divine beast totem as a sacrifice, so the divine beast totem told the chief of what I did, and he cast me out of the tribe since it would be bad to kill me right in front of the tribesmen.” Her answer was plain and simple to understand, but hearing this, Hao and the bodies soul were angry at the audacity of these people.

It was one thing to kill the body but to outcast his mother? Isn’t that looking for death? In fact, he wasn’t angry at the chief, who he was angry at was the Divine Beast Totem. How could it backstab his mother? Isn’t that like slapping a sleeping god in the face and expecting them not retaliate?

Unknown Sonia, her ‘son’ had just made a startling promise to eradicate the Divine Beast Totem.
