Aaaaggghhhhhhh!!!!!!!
I woke up amidst a mind piercing scream from somewhere around me. "Who's the--, WHAT!!!!." The first thing I saw was a street with some with weird looking people sleeping around me.... On a second thought, they're not weird looking but rather they're covered with dirt and...and a crimson moon hanging in the sky providing the little bit of visibility with it's bloody crimson rays.
I remember the last time I checked I was in my room, comfortably sleeping on my bed after reading my favourite novel again 4th time. But now I'm in a shady looking alley where beggers and people in ragged clothing are sleeping around me. I was confused beyond words.
"Crimson moon.....CRIMSON?" I suddenly realised the moon's colour is different from milky white and this scene in front of me mademy heart sank to rock bottom,my already heavy breathing became even heavier when I realised what's happening.
"Shi... What the hell just happened to me." I got up and saw that I was also very dirty and in rather torn off cloths, then suddenly my mind went numb and endless fragments of memories started to resurface in my mind.
My name was Arthur but now I recalled the memory of me being called little phil and my name being Phillip. I started walking and came to am empty area, then I looked into the memories I just got. "Hmmm..... Phillip from Constant city, orphan boy with a rather forgettable past." I remembered being tormented to pain and suffering after becoming an orhpan at a youg age of 13, then I worked in some small shops for survival before coming to Backlund with a bunch of miserable workers just like me.
Today's date was 13th April 1347.
"Is this really is the world of LOTM and I'm not dreaming but actually SOMEHOW got transmigrated into this world, them my arrival is a bit early because Mr. Fool's transmigration is still have 2 years...What are the chances of having this type of peculiar luck, I was chilling in my holidays from duties but now I'm in a state far terrible than in the borders.
Of course, being an experienced soldier in my previous life was useful, I know the rules of survival. I've to find a way out of this pitiful life but before that I've to do what this guy's here for....Tsk tsk..... Being just 17 and going through all these suffering isn't optimistic, and he died from fever but after my transmigration all that headache and fever is already gne maybe I ca--" I was amidst my thoughts when suddenly my mind started to heat and there was an ear piercing sound inside my head which made me crawl on the ground in pain.
Aaaaaarrrrrrggghhhhh!!!!!
Screaming untill I lost the ability to scream, I endured the pain and those vicious sounds coming from everywhere yet nowhere, after what felt like an entire hour have passed by, I got up covered in sweat and so weak that I was even unable to walk one step. But to my surprise this pain started receding in a noticeable pace and I suddenly got some fragmented information about something.
"There is still a large part of my memory which I'm unable to uncover, I think it's saving me from corruption, heh heh... At least I remember tthat some knowledge equals to date worse than death in this world."
I inspected the information which came with the pain and got dumbfounded
"Thi....this.. isn't this an incomplete potion formula????"

"I've been reading some fanfic lately and I think this might be a certain type of cheat for transmigrators.... As the saying goes 'Fortune and misfortune comes together '.... I'm now able to get this cheat help me remember potion formula and I think it's not just that but I'm suddenly feeling my mystical knowledge enhance a bit and I feel a certain connection with shadows. And this incomplete formula happens to be the formula I clearly remember."
The moment I realised this, a sudden realisation hit me like a bolt of lightning...
That I have the been transmigrated into a guy's body who seems to be half a beyonder of The Hanged Man pathway. "And he's been through many headache type situations which occurs to the beyonders of this pathway but somehow managed to remain somewhat sane, which means I've to choose this damnable corrupted pathway otherwise I should just hang myself.... No nothing about hanging.... Sigh. I have to just remain sane for two years with all my ability and endurance and continue to grow until I've the opportunity to join the prestigious and accidental secret organization The Tarot Club. But first... I've to find some ways to earn a little to eat and get a rather clean but cheap cloths before looking for a job that can at least feed me and let me get a shelter but... I've to gather money to become a beyond ASAP!!! or these ravings might be able to get me one day".
It was already early in the morning so I decided to look for some labourer jobs but unfortunately I got nothing to do. Then I walked across the street for a few minutes pondering about what to do in order to earn money when uddenly a thought came to my mind. " This guy is not that educated but with my education I should be able to earn some money..... So how should I use it as a tool, how..... Can I try to get into the Aurora Order, no way, I will never join those lunatics."
I tried to find a some work with a growling stomach but to no avail. When I was near to losing my hope, I saw a signboard with a job offer written on it which was something I can do without any problem at all.
"Hmm... Need someone who knows various languages like Hermes, ancient feysac, fenapotter etc.... hmmm, although this guy's useless but he was a fan of learning various languages and was quite talented in it so he knew these languages very well, I should try my luck here....but the problem is my clothes. I have 1 pound and 5 soli saved so I should buy clothes first and get myself clean in a public washroom". As for why I haven't used those money before, that was because I just realised that I have this much money in my plant's pocket.
I used 15 soli to get myself a pair of decent but cheap white shirt and black pant with a socks of socks and a normal pair of black shoes before bathing in a public washroom and getting dressed then having a managble breakfast of 3 pence to keep myself energized.
"Sigh... It's time to get a job, let's visit this guy named Karl".
