Sigh!
"This is the last piece of work and then I can finally go to rest."
A man who seemed sleep-deprived, malnourished, and overworked was typing on a computer. After finishing his work, he went home and then fell asleep in his bed without bothering to change his clothes. After an unknown amount of time, he woke up from his sleep.
He sat up on the bed and observed his surroundings. He instantly panicked because what he saw was not his room but a strange, luxurious, and ancient-feeling room.
"No, no. Stay calm *breathing in**breathing out* Huff~"
He forcefully calmed himself down and observed where he could be, he also pinched his cheek thinking it was a dream, but he felt pain, so he focused on his surroundings. He finally noticed that his body felt strangely light and refreshed. He had not felt this refreshed in years since he joined his current work. He got up and went towards the body mirror present in the room, he realized that his body was small and his head, as well as chest area, were bandaged, and his face was that of a handsome boy of maybe 12 years, so he checked it over with his hands and after confirming that it was not his body, he gave up and lied down on the bed.
Suddenly he got a massive headache like his head was splitting and pulsing very painfully. "AAAAHHHHHHHH--" He screamed at the top of his lungs, but it ended abruptly. It was not because the pain stopped, or he gritted through it but because he could not handle it and fainted.
After 2 seconds a beautiful and curvaceous lady slammed his door open and rushed towards him. "Arthur! Are you okay!? What happened?" she said worriedly and noticed him passed out on the bed. She examined him but could not find anything. She also noticed that he had fainted, so she gave up waking him and helped him into the bed. She was still very worried, so she called the medic over. The medic arrived and quickly checked his nerves, heartbeat, and other things but could not find anything wrong. He concluded that he must've screamed due to his head injury. Not convinced with that answer, she waited for him to wake up.
3 hours later
The man i.e. Arthur woke up dizzily clutching his head "Ugh! What was that?" He groaned and tried to sit up but immediately laid down because his head was still hurting and after being comfortable he noticed 2 things. First was that there was a beauty sleeping near him on a chair with her head on his legs and holding his hand. The second was the memory of a boy named 'Arthur Heimdall' from the duchy of Heimdall in the kingdom of Solmar. He finally grasped what happened to him.
'I transmigrated.'
Because of his movements, the lady woke up. Upon seeing him awake she hurriedly asked him,"Are you okay? You screamed so loudly that it scared me."
He was in a daze for a moment and remembered her as his mother, Anna. To not let her get suspicious of him, he tried his best to do what the previous owner would have done. "Yes mother. It was just a headache that came suddenly but I'm fine now." Anna replied" Okay, but rest for some time alright? I will prepare a herbal soup for you."
After saying that, she went down. Then he went through his new memories. 'Hmm It seems that this is a different world from mine. There are many interesting things in this world. And most importantly, this world has magic and martial arts. The development is also stuck in the medieval age.' while these thoughts were running in his head, he rested and drank the soup made by his mother.
The next day he felt invigorated and took a walk inside the house or more like a mansion. It was really big and shows how wealthy they were. During his walk, he was stopped by his mother. "Arthur! Why are you walkig around whe you are injured?! Go and take some rest " "But mother I am fine now and I should also do some exercise." She found it reasonable but she was still worried so she assigned a maid to accompany him. Arthur was helpless and could only agree."What is your name?" Arthur asked the maid while walking down the corridor. The maid was surprised of his normal tone but still answered "Young master, this lowly one's name is Sia." "Then Sia take ne to the library." Arthur said while leaning on the maid's shoulder. She was surprised again but did not say anything and guided him to the library. The library was in a separate building. it was a two storey building with the ground floor comprising of general knowledge, history etc. common things which servants could also acess while the first floor comprising of martial arts techniques and magic techniques. It was a restricted area only accessible by the duke Heimdall's family.
Arthur went to the ground floor to know about the new world in depth. And he spent considerable time learning about the world although only a small part. After his goal was accomplished he diverted his attention to something else. He found that some kind of orb will be dropped by people going around. When he picked it up, he was astonished.
speed*2
A virtual screen popped up in front of him. He was startled and lool
ked towards Sia but she was looking at him in confusion. 'What is the young master doing?' "Is there something wrong, Young master? " "No, nothing " Arthur replied while shaking his head a little. He pondered what it could be. Then he came to a conclusion. 'This must be something related to my transmigration. '
It was dropped by a servant running in the passageway while holding some papers. Right after that his pondering his vision was blocked by another virtual screen
