Prologues- A New World
Standing on the grassland still stunned i stared at the view intensely. New body? A view i haven't see before? Did that mean i have transmigrated into a new body?
''What the hell '' i asked.
Something like this actually happening is way absurd. But still there is a question still holds in my mind. Am i dreaming? Did i hit my head so much that this happens? It makes me question so bad. But yet the feeling of the cold fresh winds wakes me up from that thought.
''Anyway i have to move now and find some place to think. This cold wind is not helping my thoughts.'' i muttered.
Looking towards the town i feel my heart beat in excitement. Walking towards the gate i glance at the other people who is entering the castle town. In the memories of ''Noah'' i remember that i have to pay 3 silver coins to enter the castle town known as 'Willow'. The town is one of the many towns in this continent called Aspera.
In this continent lies 4 major kingdoms. The town of Willow is part of the Mundane kingdom, a kingdom full of humans. The human kingdom are the ordinary beings on this continent, with no blessings nor spiritual prowess. There might be some who is chosen but most of them are rare.
The Elven Kingdom. One of the oldest race in this continent. They are known as high and mighty for their closeness to nature and their natural prowess in the elements and control of the manas. Their kingdom are one of the most strongest and well guarded in this continent. For why its the strongest is because of the powerful barriers and illusions that shrouds their kingdom. And the only way for anyone to visit their kingdom is to make contact with an Elf minster and gain permission from them to enter.

The Dwarven Kingdom. One of the oldest race in this continent. They are known as true craftsmen and have given the world such fine items and inventions. They have deep relationship with the mundane kingdom due to their craftsmanship. Other than that they don't have such good relations with the Elven Kingdom due to their competitive nature.
The Hafling Kingdom. A kingdom for the half breeds. Due to the racism of the pure bloods . The old lords of the halflings founded a kingdom with might and prowess. Due to their racial technology and their spiritual prowess being mixed. The Kingdom of the Halfings have stood still and have become a paradise for any Haflings who seek haven from racial discrimination
The Ancients Kingdom. A kingdom of the unknown. A kingdom where demons ,monsters and dragons alike live. They live in the barren oasis of the continent . Most people tend to avoid them due their quick temper and their natural urge for blood lust. But despite that there are still tribes who are pacifistic and peaceful and tend to do business with the other kingdoms.
There are a lot of unclassified nomadic tribes in the continent and some may hiding from the sights of the common folks. Nonetheless this information was something that belongs to Noah's memories that has been fused with mine.
Waiting in line for the checkpoint i glace at the people in front of me. Looking a bit there were no races other than human lining up. There were carriages being pulled by strange creatures and merchants and their caravans.Seeing its my turn i pulled my purse and handed over 3 silver coins without any delay. As the guards glance at my payment they signaled and told me to pass the gates and enter the town.
Entering the town i look at the houses and establishments in front of me and quickly surveyed the area. Then slowly walk over to a bystander and asked.

''Hello, do you know a place here where i can take a rest?'' i asked the slim man.
''Oh there is , head straight, then when you see an intersection take a left and you can see the rosebear inn'' replied the slim man.
""Thank you for the assistance'' saying my thanks, i stride as to where he pointed and head towards the inn.
Seeing the sign of a bear biting a rose , it can be guessed that this is the rosebear inn. Taking a deep breath , i steadily walk into the entrance and open the double door of the Inn. Then staring at the beautifully decorated Inn i went into a quick moment of being daze and walk into the counter.
''Good day , Can i ask if there is any available room?'' i asked politely towards the receptionist.
''Yes there is and the room cost's for about 5 copper coins for a day. Would you like to take the room?'' replied the receptionist.
""I shall, here is the payment and please can you guide me into the room? Im pretty tired''
""Of course, then follow me Sir'' as the receptionist started leading me into my room.
The receptionist didn't chat or engage in any talk so i followed the receptionist and when we got to my rented room. The Receptionist handed me the keys and said goodbye and left back into the counter. Entering the room i was astonished at the simple but comforting appearance of the room. I quickly put my bag into the table and then fell my back into the bed without delay.
Then i slowly reflected the events and then slowly think. Then i quickly dig through my mind for memories and found memories from Noah. Thinking about it i laugh at myself . Aren't i Noah already? Then with my constant steam of thoughts i slowly cope up with situation.
Firstly i was now in another world with a new body. Secondly i seem to have been put into this person called Noah. It seem that the reason why i have replace Noah's soul is because he have eaten a cursed fruit called ''Soul Berry'' which crushes the soul when eaten. Thirdly. I have no idea why i have taken on this body. And lastly i have concluded that from the sensation that this is now my reality from now on.
I accepted it because i have no choice but to live on and adapt into this world. For now i don't have any goals other than continuing what Noah started. That is to wander around and visit places. And it seems Noah's has been traveling for years since teenage years as an alchemist. Within the years Noah have accumulated valuable knowledge within medicine and self protection. And also it seems that because of Noah's habit of tasting ingredients that he have meet this kind o faith.
I prayed and thank for Noah's rest in the afterlife and promised that i would take care of this new life have given. I would be lying if i said i was not excited by the prospect of an another world. I tried remembering my other world memories but yet all i can found is the memories of the dim rooftop and the knowledge i have gathered studying in school.
Feeling anxiousness and enjoyment. I quickly suppressed myself and take a glance at the sun taking a rest. Feeling the fatigue too. I have decided to tucked in and let my mind sleep away and sleep.

However, there are several moments that are extremely violent. I've always loved shows/movies such as, (The Expanse, The Boys, Banshee, Kingdom of heaven, Vikings, Attack on Titan, Baccano, etc.) I am descriptive of the scenes with violence. So be warned :) I've worked long and hard and have finally finished my third draft. Still needs work but everything storywise is complete. There are still a few things I need to add and tweak. Grammatical errors and flushing out the characters and dialogue still needs work. If you see any errors or plot holes, please feel free to point them out. It helps me improve upon the story.

Tags and content warnings are checked for the sake of my creativity in the future, it might or might not be included. This is my first novel, and also, English is not my native language, I beg your mercy. But I am open to any feedback and constructive criticism, so let's make the story more enjoyable to read!
