Leo wakes up abruptly, eyes wide open and sweating all over.

He looks here and there and notices that it is dark all over…

“Huh, it’s around midnight maybe.” Leo thinks.

He does not focus on his surroundings and thinks ‘Man, what a sick dream to have on your birthday, I thought I was all over with my parents not being there for me, but I guess not’.

Leo wipes of the sweat from his forehead.

As he wipes his forehead, he looks at his hands and notices that something is amiss.

“Ayo, these are not my hands, where are the hands that have accompanied me through countless lonely nights “Leo thinks aloud.

“This bed is comfortable though”.

As Leo looks around himself, he further notices that he is not in his small rented apartment, but in a more luxurious and large room.

As he looks around he does not sees any electrical appliance or anything that suggest that there is electricity used here.

Furthermore, he sees a spirit lamp in the corner of the room.

Leo spots a mirror near the door of the room; he gets up from the bed and rushes in front of the mirror.

“Surely not, this can’t be real right? I’m still dreaming.”

In front of the mirror stood a handsome young man, standing at about 150 cms   with long black hair, reaching his shoulders that vaguely had a tint of crimson red at its ends, deep crimson color eyes and pale skin, with a chiseled face and slim fit figure.

With a dumbfounded expression, the youth continued to stare at the mirror, sometimes touching his face and mumbling something in between now and then.

Then Leo as if thunderstruck thought about his, ‘schlong a dong’.

‘Surely it’s still of the same size’

Leo reaches to lift the underpants that he is wearing.

All of a sudden, Leo starts to feel a piercing headache.

His mouth starts twitching; Leo again feels a sense of Déjà vu.

Is this not how he felt when that cheap father of his imparted new memories to him?

As Leo thinks about this, he feels groggy and begins losing consciousness.

The last thought that Leo had before being knocked out unconsciousness was “Ahh shit… here we go again”

Two- three hours go by and the sun rose from the distant horizon, all the while Leo is still unconsciousness, sprawled out on the floor like a dead fish.

Leo’s body twitches after a while as he regains consciousness; he looks around again looking at the seemingly familiar but unfamiliar room he is in currently.  

Leo gets up from the cold floor and moves to sit on the corner of the bed.

Sitting there, he begins to recall all the memories he in just went through that belonged to his other half soul who is also apparently called Leo … Leo Lionheart.

Leo also got to know that his parents also didn’t know that his soul had been split into two and transmigrated to another universe or something they think that I had just been teleported to another plane far away from their location.

As this is what should have had happened but, during the fight, the plane in which they fought, it was way too close to the outer universal membrane boundary, and during the spatial transfer the pendant along with Leo had come across a chaotic rift which had a soul anomaly creature that comes from beyond this universe.

Due to which Leo’s soul had been divided into two, one going into the outer chaos and one that had been safely transported by the pendant along with his body.

Fortunately, at the last moment the pendant had released some sort of power, which enveloped the other portion of Leo’s soul, which was going into the chaos due to which his soul could survive the chaotic passage and come back after recovering enough power.

Also from the memories, he received from Leo from this world, it seemed that the part of his soul that stayed in his body was void of emotion and worked mostly like a robot, but a rather high tier robot as he also showed fake emotions to everyone around him so that he could fit in normally with everyone else.

Surprisingly, he is also popular at the school he is going into, and is almost treated like a celebrity.

Moreover, he also has two best friends, well ok, maybe only one.

A happy go lucky and cheerful childhood friend named Dom, and the arrogant and bitchy girl named Angela, well she acts sweet around me though.

Most of this is actually attributed to the mansion he is currently staying in.

In addition, the person, who owns this mansion, is widely believed to, most likely be in the Nascent Soul realm or Elemental Core realm. And Leo, well he is believed to be his son and that is why mostly everyone respects him in this city.  

Only Leo knows that he is not even related to that person, but somehow he accepts Leo as his son.

 As Leo is thinking, there is a sudden knock at the door and a middle-aged woman enters.

“Young master, food is ready you should get ready as its getting late and you need to reach the academy soon or you will be late” Says the woman at the door and stood there waiting for a reply from Leo.

“Yes, Bella I will be in a moment” Leo replies to Bella who is apparently the Head maid of the mansion.

“Alright young master hurry up and come downstairs, the breakfast is getting cold,” said Bella as she closes the door and leaves.

Leo gets up from his bed and heads into the bathroom, all the while still trying to remember any important events that he might have missed.

Leo enters into the bathroom and stands beneath the shower head, turning on the cold water.

Leo feels the cold pouring on top of him, confirming once again that this is not a dream but his new life.

As he confirms this fact, once again he feels his heart burn with new found determination, determination to reach the top with no one else in sight, and yes with filthy lots of money.

Never did he ever want to place his own destiny in someone else’s hands.
