It was a hot summer day morning outside the window. John was sitting on his bed, thinking what really happened. A moment ago he was being sucked into the Wormhole inside the Quantum space and now he was sitting on a large pad with white sheets. Outside the windows you can hear birds chirping.
In his room a 14 year old boy was sitting in his bed. By the look of his face he looked surprised and confused at the same time. He was confused if he was in a dream or he woke from one. The boy's name was John.
'What happened?? I was in quantum space being sucked into a wormhole and now I am in a bed inside the body of a 14 year old boy….!' John thought as he was trying to remember what exactly happened in quantum space.
He was trying to connect with Hive Chip but he did not receive any response, which confirmed his suspicions about him not being in a dream.
In reality Hive Chip wasn't planted in his brain now because his brain was long gone when he was in quantum space. When his body was trying to reconstruct itself inside quantum space a wormhole appeared and sucked everything inside. In quantum space a human body can not exist because laws of physics doesn't allow it.
As we know wormholes only appear for a very short amount of time and they are extremely small. So small that a sand grain would not fit inside it but it has a suction force that can break stars. The theory was that wormholes are portals for another dimension which now seems to be proved as John is not in his previous universe or dimension for that matter.
When John was teleported inside quantum space he could not construct his body because of the laws of physics. But since he was teleported there they have to exist in the quantum realm as quantum particles. But as soon as he was sucked inside the wormhole his body incinerated while his conscience and Hive Chip merged as one giving him direct access to Hive Mind without the need of Hive Chip.
As he was teleported in quantum space his body got sucked into a wormhole. During this most of his body got destroyed only his conscience and Hive Chip were intact when they exited inside a 14 year old boy's body.
The body that John occupied had the same name as him and had an average height of 164 cm. John was son of a small time merchant, his father's business was only inside their city. His grandfather started this business when he was young. They were a family of blacksmiths, with a few shops in the city and an income which was enough to sustain their lower middle class lifestyle.
His grandfather Mason used the money he earned to buy the surname for himself. To buy a surname one must have enough money and military merit. He was one of the commanders in fending several beast tides over the years during his youth. So buying a surname for his family was not a problem, they had to pay for all the people who want to use the surname. After they purchase the name then in future anyone born in their family will have the same surname as their parents.
They were living in the Kingdom of Kovia for several generations. His forefathers were all blacksmiths but only his grandfather was able to accumulate enough money and merits to buy a family name.
John's father was also a blacksmith as it was tradition for all the male in the family to be trained as blacksmith even later they chose another field to work. John's father Mace McClain was a quick witted person so he chose to be a merchant and opened a shop to sell their work. After some time they had 5 shops inside the city and a decent income to survive.
After purchasing the family name that his Mason bought and the efforts of Mace made their family a decent household inside the city. They were not noble but their standing was better than commoners or slaves.
Mason McClain only had one son Mace, so the total for whom he bought a surname were 3. Mason, Mice and John's mother Lina.
When John was thinking what happened to him, a sharp pain in his head bought some memories that didn't belong to him.
"Ahhh! " John grabbed his head with both hands and crawled up into his bed. All the memories of the previous owner of the body were flashing inside his head. John fell unconscious after a few seconds when the pain started. In this time all the memories of both consciences were merged into one.
In this world where John lived was similar to the medieval era of earth. But with some difference like a energy that was spread inside this dimension called mana. Some people who were awakened as mages can use this mana to perform several acts like flying into the skies or creating fire without any firewood. This act of using mana was "Magic".
While people capable of using mana became mages those who were unable to use it made their own way of using mana that is using mana to increase their strength, agility and overall combat prowess.
