ATLA, In A Darker World

Chapter 3 Senlin Village

I found myself laying flat on the floor.

The place around me was a textbook example of deforestation. The ground was scorched into ash, the trees in the surrounding areas were burned to the ground.

There were no animals, no sounds, no place for shelter, nothing. It was all destroyed, to the point of being uninhabitable.

Standing up, I subconsciously began to pat my back area to get rid of the dust I was sure had accumulated on me.

I wasn't a clean freak, but getting dirt on me was something I disliked greatly. And upon patting myself to clean off the possible dust, I realized something.

Freezing for a moment, I raised my hands to meet my gaze and had my eyes widen slightly.

Fair ...... A bit too fair for my liking really. Now that was exactly the problem. As I remembered I had similar skin back when I was still alive on earth, but that was basically changed during my college years.

A tan was something me and the guys back then would get together to get on every once in a while.

On bright sunny days at the beach ...... sigh! Good times. Where was I?

Oh yeah. But now, my arms were fair again. They felt smaller too.

I took my time to feel my body, feel my face and feel a certain something between the legs. Thank the possible gods, it was still there.

Well, all the feeling didn't give me much information.

It's not like I could tell how I looked like just by touching my face and physique for a few seconds. I didn't have photographic memory, so I wasn't sure if I still looked the same as back on Earth, but two things were for sure.

One, this body was definitely younger.

And two, my hair was back. Note to self, carrying too many burdens in life could greatly stimulate hair loss.

It truly added to my glumness when I walked on the road with a shiny bald head that could reflect sunlight before even reaching thirty years of age.

I spent more time feeling my hair than I did the rest of my body. Opening my eyes with a satisfied smile after several extra long seconds, I put away my unnecessary thoughts and examined my situation once more.

Finally, I inwardly asked the question I probably should have first asked myself when I woke up.

"Alright, now .... Where the hell am ......".

It happened then.

My words came to a halt as within my field of vision, a bar I was all too familiar with appeared within my line of sight once again.

'Huh? .... Um, accept'. I raised an eyebrow before focusing on the bar and willing inwardly.

The next moment, it expanded to display those things you usually only see in video games.
