Chapter 5: Who Am I? (1/2)

In a lush green land without any buildings around, a frail boy aged sixteen years was looking at the bright and beautiful blue sky with a solemn gaze.

The golden sun was bathing the boy with its resplendent rays while he enjoyed the chirping of the small birds nearby.

His bright black eyes would make one feel an air of innocence around him, but most people will grimace while the rest would shake their heads when they see him as a whole.

All because he was sitting in a wheelchair since half of his body was basically in a paralyzed state. His face looked thin and weak, just as his whole body, making him look unattractive as a whole.

However, a small innocent smile hung on his lips as if the hardships and difficulties he faced weren't enough to completely break him.

There was a stream right in front of him, and he lost himself in his thoughts as he kept looking at the ever-flowing water.

But his eyes suddenly looked up upon hearing the screeching noise of the air above. His eyes widened when he saw a person plummeting towards the river as they continued to fall from the sky.

He wanted to call out for help, but there was nobody beside him, and nor could anyone he knew save a person that just suddenly appeared to fall from the skies.

As the person got closer and closer towards the stream of the river, the boy saw that it was an unconscious youngster who looked no older than him.

But what was strange was he was covered in blood with severe injuries on his body. No matter how shocking it was for him, the boy stopped thinking about where the youngster came from or why he was in a bloodied state.

All he wanted was to save the poor youngster somehow falling from the skies. How could he watch someone fall to death right before him? Even though he had no idea if the youngster was still alive, he wished he could help him.

He pushed the wheels of his wheelchair to move forward towards the river, but right at that time, the person crashed into the river, letting out waves and waves of water to pour outside, and even the ground seemed to shake a bit.

The boy, along with his wheelchair, was swept away as he fell down with the water drenching his whole body. Not only that, but he also felt pain all over his body and felt as if he got hit by the force of a flood.

”Ughh…” He groaned in pain as he crawled towards his wheelchair to sit back up. Thankfully, he was still some distance away from the stream. Otherwise, he might have broken a bone here or there.

After all, his frail body could only handle so much force.

However, just as he got close to his wheelchair, he saw the youngster lying on the shore of the stream with half of his body still inside the water.

He was shocked to see that his body was still intact even after falling from such a height and wondered if he had already died since he fell from such a high height.

Still, he wanted to make sure if there was at least a breath of life in his body and crawled towards him while bringing along the wheelchair with him by lodging one of its wheels within his arms.

He strained his arms as his fingernails dug into the ground while trying to get closer to the bloodied youngster before him.
