This is me
My past life , in that wheelchair. Wishing life had taken a different path and it did
I woke up in the body of Eric a nameless child , trained relentlessly in a dangerous forest under Master Swordsman Theodore , he in turn gave me a power beyond my imagination.
Eric like myself pursued a path much similar to mine , to not lay down and accept was unfair as fate. He lived his life the way he would have wanted , be it good or bad in a future where I never reincarnated my other half would achieve his goal.
And about mine you ask.... I wanted to live , I wanted to the power to walk again a simple wish , that grew to encompass her. A rich entitled girl whom I saved, she is a constant anchor.. like me she had lost everything and in a world where I don't exist her fate would be grim and her goal as detestable as it seemed wouldn't have been fulfilled.
I really admired her and I admired Eric from the future , to work your damn near hardest for your goals.. I found it beautiful.
I thought I had the means to make mine come true , yet like my past life it was taken away from me.
"What should I do?, where should I go now?"
I felt like my life had lost all its meaning , i could no longer tap into the furnace.
What am I now?
Eric ?
Or
The same cripple I was before I came to.
"Pitiful , so pitiful. I haven't changed at all."

I challenge a dungeon on my own for the 1st time since losing
I challenged a dungeon on my own for the 1st time since having my furnace sealed.
Druids surrounded me from all directions , as I slashed through the most of them they kept coming and regrowing.
"I havent used these in a while, Ms. Sarah's magic stones."
"Ignition : flame sword." I enchant my sword using the magic stone i broke
The druids sensing dread have all but retreated , I took the chance to advance forward cutting through those ahead before racing through the corridors.
The plant life kept growing as roots hug the walls and floors of the dungeon , they were following me intending to keep me from the boss , Priscilla also known as Eden's flower.
I dodge , slash and roll as the plant life kept raging , the druids followed they grew wings as they kept coming
The humanoid female looking monsters showed contempt at the intruder being myself.
"More to come , more to go down."
I didn't care how many followed the more I felled , the better I felt. In a twisted way , slaying the druids felt satisfying.
"I'm weak , yet they are weaker."
This isnt me or perhaps it is. I will fight my status i'm not the me from before, I refuse to let my sealed chromata cripple me.
"Shit!."
I failed to notice the root as it clutched my legs
"Damn it , I have to do something."
I swing my sword cutting through the tenticle mid air , I struggled to land on my feet yet a scratch upon impact is a better deal than I hoped for.
"This wouldn't have happened before , keep it together me!, keep it together."
I stood up , surveying my surrounding only to notice that my little tussle has brought me closer to the door where she lied.
"Well i'll be damned, Priscilla i'm coming for you."
I push the door open and as soon as it opened I come across a field of flowers illuminated by a magical chandelier.
Standing atop the field was a fair maiden of other worldly beauty , her dress cut from leaves her green hair permeated an earthly scent that spread through the room.
She looks at me , rare for a monster to show such emotion
pity.
"Not you too, a literal monster.. a literal monster don't you mess with me!!."
I unsheathe my sword , imbued with a fire enchantment
And lunge a strike at Priscilla, I moved at a speed rivaling my prime.. all in the hopes of proving myself wrong.
Priscilla stood still and awaited , her eyes drew tears as my sword approaches.
And my sword does
Stabbing her deep in the heart.
She looks at me with her motherly eyes and rubs my hair.
" why does a monster like you human, damn it."
My eyes dropped tears as Priscilla vanishes she smiled as she left me a message.
"Human child... do not be burdened by weakness."
In the game Priscilla was a beauty but a silent one and a strong boss , yet in this reality she comforted me.
"Your words , I appreciate them. But to me the strength master gave me was what kept me from reverting back to my useless self."
I look at the terminal screen as I left the dungeon , and my record was much slower than what it had been before.
