Pieces of Hope
Chapter 2: Reawaken or Rebirth(?)

Early in the morning Xiang Yu was awake and preparing to work again, after parting with his mother he immediately rushed over.

Passing casually every district, while looking at the adventurers, the sunny weather was very happy. There were even some fringe people greeting Xiang Yu, and Xiang Yu replied to him with a warm smile.

No one knew a huge anomaly was happening in the middle of the city. A black circle of energy appeared and grew bigger, a giant hand came out from there followed by a leg and then revealed its sinister form while shouting loudly that created a shock wave.

Almost all the buildings in the middle of the city collapsed like they were being swept away.

The clouds of fog were rising, many victims were falling because they were not prepared for this kind of disaster.

The atmosphere is more chaotic, many people run to address themselves, such a feeling of dominance has made people will be sculpted when they see its existence.

Xiang Yu was unable to help, his breathing was howling, his eyes were wide open, his feet as if stuck into the ground, and his body had already felt a spreading chill. When you see a scene like that, it drains your guts.

He was only a Porter, the one in charge of transporting adventurers' goods, and during entering the forest he had never once seen a monster like this.

The monter was collecting balls of energy in his mouth that were getting denser and larger. Throwing it indirectly led to Xiang Yu.

"Sial move!"

Xiang Yu hit his feet many times his fear was dominant, after seeing the energy ball that shot towards him he desperately tried to run.

A huge explosion was unavoidable, Xiang Yu bounced into the air due to the area of the powerful explosion that made a deep crater. All his eyesight was blurred covered in blood, half his body was hit by the debris of the building.

His breathing grew heavier, so while moving a finger couldn't, he could only see parts of the city being destroyed, and some famous adventurers started popping up to stop the monster.

"Am I going to die"

'"What a pathetic, right? I can't even make mom happy. How did you feel when you saw your son die like this?"

"Curtain! I'm such a shameful kid."

Slowly his eyes closed, a memory of the brightest in his brain, all the things he saw himself fighting a powerful black dragon.

The memory continued to flow until it caused his brain to heat up, groaning continuously while holding his agonized head.

The memories from his previous life, were clearly visible before his face, as if he was looking back at himself in the past. All the information about martial arts, magic spells, research, and cooking in his once memorable life in a flash!

At the end of his memories, a beautiful young lady with unraveled hair extended her hand to Xiang Yu while being accompanied by a warm smile. While Xiang Yu only looked at him in surprise while trying to maintain his sanity. "You should have woken up, right?"

Hearing that sentence Xiang Yu immediately gasped.

His body was filled with an overflowing golden-colored power.

"After time has passed, I do not know whether I am reawakened or reborn. Shit, gods or goddesses always hold the fate of lowly beings like me."

"But, with all these memories, it's been helping me,"

When he regained consciousness the bone structure began to repair itself with such an excited Vitality he was able to recover quickly. Next he began to get rid of the debris that covered half his body.

After getting rid of the debris, Xiang Yu looked around, an alarming state of affairs in the center of the city.

Not far from Xiang Yu standing up, a woman wearing a magician robe lay down while saying quietly. "Please ... Help me.", Xiang Yu hurriedly checked his condition The large wound seen on his hips formed a large circle, making a pool of blood around.

His face was already pale, he was on the verge of death just like Xiang Yu earlier

"Because I am a true virtuous MAN, I will save this Girl."

The golden light enveloped the girl's body, immediately the wounds on her body began to regenerate quickly, then restored her condition even if not completely.

The woman opened her eyes, blinked her eyes many times seeing her blurred vision getting clearer. "Thank You!" his voice was still slow, even so he still showed a bright smile. "I must destroy the Behemoth!"

He tried to stand up while holding his wound, seeing the Behemoth-named monster his eyes grew sharper.

After hearing Xiang Yu's words, the girl's face turned red, her hands clenched tightly. "If the Behemoth is not stopped, more and more victims will fall!"

"You're like a kid with that mindset. I saved you, then you want to die again, so please appreciate my efforts!" reply Xiang Yu coldly looked at the Girl. "Yes, go, go" he added, gesturing to leave

"You!!!" the girl's eyes grew sharper. "Good bye! I owe you my life, if we meet again I'll save him with everything I have!"

"What are you talking like that for? Though you'll die again, sigh I'm sorry to save you."

Xiang Yu threw his gaze while crossing his hands, as if he already did not care about the girl.

"You!" the girl's face turned even more red, like she was unwilling to spend time by Xiang Yu, The girl immediately flew towards the battle area.

"Hump! I don't know why girls today are given life and even ask to die."

Xiang Yu looked towards the battle back, seeing the naturally depressed Behemoth The monster immediately spread its wings and flew away. His instincts are like animals, when he feels strong he will dominate and when cornered he will run away in droves.

After all, it was enough to end the terrible battle on this day.

Without further ado Xiang Yu chose to go home, although only the city center affected by Xiang Yu was still worried about his mother.

She ran all the way to her house, her mother was standing at the door holding her chest, her face hardened with cold sweat on her face.

Seeing Xiang Yu's blood-tinged clothes, Mother Xiang Yu couldn't hold back her tears, she rushed towards Xiang Yu despite having to limp.

"Mother! Please don't force yourself!" Xiang Yu calmed his mother down while smiling wryly

His mother's hand grabbed Xiang Yu's cheek and said :

"How can I calm down! My dear son in a great disaster, while I just watch my son die."

The atmosphere became really emotional because of Mother Xiang Yu's sobbing.

"Quiet mom, if you get any worse I'm afraid your pretty face will get wrinkled up," when Xiang Yu made such a joke, his mother stopped and pinched Xiang Yu's hip hard.

"What's the problem! Even though I'm wrinkled I'm still your mother, you know!"

"Ah yes, my gosh!" Xiang Yu grimaced in pain as he rubbed his waist. "Mom close your eyes, will I have a gift for you?"

"What's? Critical times like this do you have a gift?!" His mother was obviously shocked at what he was doing in the middle of the city only god knew, but therefore her son she followed him.

"Don't peek,"

A reddish golden light enveloped Mother Xiang Yu's body, after Xiang Yu held her Mother's hand.

Warm and soothing tasting.

The color of her mother's skin returned to what it used to be, revealing a shiny milky white, the energy in her body was increasing rapidly, making her recover to her initial state.

His mother looked very young and energetic with a beautiful face, beautiful eyes, as well as a slender body whichever man she was would fall in love with seeing Mother Xiang Yu.

"W-what are you doing, son!" looking at Mother Xiang Yu's recovered condition, closing her mouth as if she did not believe in herself.

"Secret!" Xiang Yu simply smiled innocently and replied ambiguously. "I'm sure we won't have any trouble" Xiang Yu said softly.

Seeing his mid-15-year-old son just shake his head while smiling happily.

His happiness was fulfilled, by seeing his son survive a great tragedy, while his bonus was that his body had recovered.

How should he repay his son's kindness? Meanwhile, he can only convey the love of a mother.
