Zachary woke up to the steady pitter-patter of raindrops on his bedroom window. That sound was the perfect natural lullaby, so delicate and soft on the ears. It gently induced a state of calmness upon his mind and soothed his entire being to the very core. With eyes still at rest, he started reflecting on his second life in those few blessed moments of tranquility brought about by the morning rain.
His accomplishments in his second life were the stuff of legend. He'd arrived in Norway only three years prior. With the aid of the system, coupled with hard work, he'd managed to impress his coaches and graduate from the academy in only two years. He'd managed to join the Rosenborg senior team and make it to the starting lineup in just a couple of months. Without a doubt, it was an incredible journey, one that had shocked many.
