/Flashback/
(one month earlier)
Yuno sat comfortably on the bench in the garden, surrounded by towering green trees and lush bushes, while the well-manicured grass beneath his feet seemed to beckon him to run his toes through it. As he gazed up at the sky, he couldn't help but marvel at the vast expanse of twinkling stars above. Amidst the shimmering constellations, one star in particular caught his eye. It glowed brighter and bigger than any other, commanding his attention. Entranced, Yuno stared at it, losing track of time until he realized he had been captivated by its brilliance.
Ten minutes had passed before Yuno finally broke free from the star's spell. Before he could even process what had happened, the star suddenly shone brighter than the sun, causing Yuno to instinctively shut his eyes in pain.
A splitting headache followed, making a blood-curdling scream of agony erupt from his lips, sending shivers down the spines of all who heard it. His body contorted and writhed in an otherworldly display of pain, as if every nerve ending in his being had suddenly ignited with fire. holding his head tightly between his small hands. Just before he lost consciousness, he caught a glimpse of a young girl in maid attire running frantically towards him, her face contorted in fear.
"YOUNG MASTERR!?" the girl, Berta, shouted in alarm.
With her big green eyes and green hair that fell to her back, Berta was only twelve years old and stood at a height of 148cm. Despite her small stature, she moved with astonishing speed as she dashed towards the bench where Yuno lay unconscious. His face was pale, and he was drenched in sweat.
"YOUNG MASTER!!" Berta screamed in disbelief, horrified by the state she found him in.
As Berta carried Yuno in her arms, her heart racing with worry and fear, she ran towards the mansion. The weight of her young master in her arms was heavy, but she didn't dare slow down. She knew she had to get him to the doctor as quickly as possible.
Upon entering the mansion, Berta was surprised to find Adele, the family head, waiting for them. Berta's surprise quickly turned to relief as she handed Yuno over to Adele's waiting arms.
"Family head, Young master is..." Berta began to explain Yuno's condition, but Adele cut her off with a curt nod.
"I know, I heard him too. The doctor is ready, let's go," Adele replied in a calm, collected voice. But Berta could see the panic and anxiety etched on Adele's face. She knew the family head was worried about her son.
As they made their way to the lower floor of the mansion where the doctor was located, Berta couldn't help but feel grateful for Adele's quick thinking and calm demeanor. It was clear that Adele loved her son deeply and would do anything to ensure his safety.
The doctor quickly examined Yuno's condition, but to everyone's surprise, he couldn't find anything wrong with him.
"I'm sorry, family head. I can't find anything wrong with him," the doctor said in a regretful tone.
Adele's face paled at the news, and Berta could feel her heart racing faster with worry. She knew that Yuno was in good hands with the doctor, but the uncertainty of his condition was making her anxious.
"Family head, why don't we call that family?" Berta suggested, hoping that their connections with other powerful families could help shed some light on Yuno's condition.
Adele's voice was low and tight as she replied, "I have already called them, Breta. You did your best. Go and rest for now. They will come soon." Berta could sense the nervousness and tension in Adele's voice.
Just then, a butler entered the room, interrupting their conversation. "Mrs. Adele, they have arrived," the butler announced respectfully.
Adele's eyes widened with relief and she nodded, "Let them in, quickly."
Berta's heart leapt in her chest as the other family entered the room, hoping that they could provide some insight into Yuno's situation.

/Two days later/
Two days had passed since Yuno was rushed to the doctor by Berta and Adele. As he woke up in his own bedroom, memories of the previous two days were hazy, he felt disoriented and out of focus. Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through his head, causing him to clutch his temples with his right hand while his left hand gripped the blanket tightly.
The pain subsided, leaving him feeling disoriented and out of focus.
Yuno's golden eyes, which usually sparkled with life, now had a slight purple hue as he muttered in a trembling voice, "How..... how can this be?"
He was experiencing a flood of memories that were not his own, and he couldn't understand what was happening to him. The memories were vivid and detailed, but they belonged to someone else. He saw glimpses of a young man named Peter Ellis, a college student who had lived in Korea as an immigrant with his parents. The memories showed Peter dying in a car accident at the age of 22 due to faulty brakes. He could feel Peter's fear and desperation as the brakes failed, and he could see the horror in his eyes as the car careened out of control. But then something strange happened - as the car was about to crash, Peter suddenly felt a sense of relief wash over him, almost as if he welcomed death. Yuno couldn't understand why Peter would feel that way, and the mystery only added to his confusion and fear.
Yuno tried to shake off the memories, but they kept flooding in, like a never-ending stream. He wondered if he was losing his mind or if he was experiencing some kind of supernatural phenomenon. He couldn't help but feel like there was a deeper meaning to these memories, like they were trying to tell him something.
As he sat there, still and confused, Yuno couldn't help but wonder, "Who was Peter Ellis, and why am I seeing his memories?".
Yuno's mind felt like it was in a dizzying spin as he tried to grasp what was happening to him. It was like he was living in two worlds at once, one that he knew and the other he didn't. The vivid memories he was experiencing belonged to someone else, but they were coming through to him with such clarity and detail that it was hard to believe they weren't his own.
As he tried to piece everything together, Yuno felt a sense of confusion and disbelief. How was this possible? How could he be experiencing someone else's memories so vividly? It was like he had been transported into another person's life, and the memories were a part of him now.
But the memories weren't complete, and that added to his confusion. It was like he got reincarnated but some of his memories from his past life are still vague. Yuno couldn't help but wonder what else he was missing, what other secrets were hiding just out of reach in Peter's memories.
Despite the chaos in his mind, Yuno couldn't deny that there was a certain thrill to it all. It was like he was living in a mystery, and he couldn't wait to unravel its secrets. However, the fear of the unknown lingered, and he couldn't help but worry about what other memories he might experience and what their consequences would be.
Yuno was jolted back to reality as the door creaked open, revealing Breta and Adele. He squinted his eyes, trying to focus on their faces. "Breta, what happened to me?" he asked, his voice groggy.
Breta's eyes widened with concern as she explained, "Young master, you suddenly screamed and lost consciousness for two days. We were so worried. But there was nothing wrong with your body. Are you still feeling unwell?"
Yuno felt a wave of relief wash over him as he smiled, appreciating Breta's concern. "I'm fine, Breta. Don't worry," he reassured her.
As Yuno tried to get out of bed to greet his mother, who was standing behind Breta, he suddenly felt dizzy again. "Don't move, Yuno. If you still feel uncomfortable, just lay down and rest," Adele said in a soft and caring tone.
Adele was the clan head and cared for her son deeply. She gently touched Yuno's forehead, feeling his body temperature. "Please take it easy, my dear son," she said, caressing Yuno's hair.
Yuno closed his eyes, feeling the warmth of his mother's hand. Suddenly, he got an idea."Mother, is there a library in the mansion?" he asked.
Adele was surprised by Yuno's sudden interest in reading. "Huh? A library? Do you want to read?" she asked.
Yuno nodded his head.
'If I can compare the world from my memories to the one that I live in right now, I can find the differences.'
'maybe this world is the same as the one from my memories but in a different timeline or maybe it is an entire different world than the one in my past life.,' he thought
"Of course, there is. If you want, you can ask Breta to bring you books you want to read while you rest," Adele said, smiling at her son.
"Yes, young master. Just tell me what you want to read, and I will bring it to you," Breta said with a warm smile.
Yuno's eyes lit up at the thought of being surrounded by books that could explain this world more to him."Thank you, Breta. I appreciate it," he said gratefully.
