He woke up to find himself in a shabby house and quickly looked around. He was in an unfamiliar room.
Suddenly there was an intense pain in his head where he felt some memories surging into his head. The pain was so intense that his eyes rolled back and he fell unconscious.
After some time he woke up again, this time the room didn't feel unfamiliar.
He searched through his new memories to find his name. It was Raymond Clover. Strangely this body looked exactly the same as his body in the previous life.
'Arghhhh, this headache is killing me' he groaned.
'I remember having met that weird guy in white robe, I also got ridiculous powers, let me check' he quickly recalled what happened to him after he died in his previous life.
He looked around to see himself sitting on the bed. He grabbed the headrest to check his strength. But even after exerting all his strength nothing happened to the headrest.
'Did I get scammed again? Where are my powers?'
As soon as he thought that, he felt an intense pain in every inch of his body. It felt like countless ants were crawling under his skin. Due to the intense pain in his body and his already present intense headache, his eyes rolled back and he fell unconscious again.
After some time he woke up again. But this time he didn't feel any headache or any kind of body pain.
In fact his head was extremely clear now and his body felt incredibly light.
All of his senses were enhanced to a ridiculous degree. He could clearly feel his surroundings. He could even feel the ants crawling outside his room. He clearly felt like someone was walking towards his room.
*******
Jasmine was the maidservant assigned to take care of Raymond.
She was an orphan who was rescued from a slave house by Raymond's father when she was 10 years old.
Ever since then she was extremely grateful to Raymond's father and wanted to repay him.
So when she was asked to become Raymond's maidservant she readily agreed.
Since then Raymond and her have grown up together under one roof. She was now 19 years old, the same as Raymond.
At first she was extremely nervous around Raymond. She used to call him 'Young master Raymond'.
But after realising that he was just as kind and loving as his father, it didn't take long for him to become her young master Ray.
She loved her young master Ray with all her heart and wanted to serve him for life.
But for the past few weeks her young master had been avoiding her and has often asked her to leave him and become someone else's maid.
'Young master Ray seems to be in depression for the past few days. I don't know how I can cheer him up.' She had been distressed over this matter for the past few days.
She quickly prepared breakfast and made her way towards Raymond's room.
*******
Raymond looked ahead to see the door of his room being opened.
Soon he found himself looking at a girl around his age carrying a plate entering.
After seeing her only one thought occurred to his mind.
'Damn! She is freaking hot'
The girl was around 1.7 metres tall and had tanned skin. She had long blond hair that fell just short of reaching her waist. She had green eyes and a beauty mark under her left eye.
He quickly searched through his memories to find that her name was Jasmine and to his pleasant surprise she was his maidservant.
She was extremely loyal to him and always had his best interest in her mind.
"Ahh. Young master Ray, what happened? Why are you sweating?" she asked with concern.
Only now he realised that his whole body was covered in sweat.
Before he could say something she rushed to his side and put the plate on the table.
She quickly grabbed a cup and filled it with water.
"Here, drink this water." She handed the cup to him.
As soon as he grabbed the cup it shattered spilling water all over the floor.
'What? I just grabbed it and it broke? Did I get my power?' He thought in excitement.
"What happened? Was the cup too brittle? " she asked in confusion.
"Yeah, that must be the case" he quickly agreed with her.
"Young master, you take a bath first I will clean the floor quickly"
He got up from his bed and walked on his toes to the bathroom. He closed the bathroom door very carefully.
He looked around to find nothing but a mirror, a tap for water, a mug and a bucket to fill the water.
Shaking his head at his current living conditions he looked into the mirror.
'I really do look like my previous self.'
He flexed his fingers to hear a cracking sound. He clenched his fist a little bit harder and the surrounding space started to tremble.
'I need to learn how to control this power or else I am going to end up destroying this world.' He thought inwardly.
He took off his shirt and looked at his body.
He had a lean build and his muscles were ripped. He was packed with six pack abs.
'Fortunately, I didn't lose my hair.'
He turned on the tap to fill the bucket. He was disappointed to find the bone chilling cold water coming from the tap.
'Sigh~ I wanted to take a hot water bath' Still he didn't mind it too much as the cold water wouldn't affect him.
He quickly took a bath and wiped his body with a towel. He wore his clothes and came back to his room.
He found Jasmine sitting at the table eating her share of the breakfast.
Even though she was his maid, they didn't have a typical master-servant relationship. They were more like friends who grew up together.
If some other servants ate before their master they would be punished. As someone from modern earth he wasn't keen on these details either.
He sat beside Jasmine and started eating his breakfast. It wasn't much, just some rice porridge and some wild fruits.
They ate in silence and soon finished their breakfast.
This wasn't new for Jasmine, before Raymond used to have small talk with her when they were having breakfast but for the past few days he has avoided talking with ther as much as possible.
After cleaning the table she washed the plates and got ready to leave.
"Alright, young master Ray I will come back in the afternoon"
"Okay" he said flatly.
She shook her head hearing his tone and left the room.
