Chapter 3 - CHAPTER 2

"Michael, oh my God Michael. Doctor, call the Doctor, I think my son is waking up." Who's voice is that, a woman? I thought to myself as I struggled to open my eyes. Why is she holding my hand with that sad look on her face, did she just call me her son? Wait, am I not dead. Most importantly why can't I feel any mana or any magical energy, did I lose my magic? The woman spoke again, in a shaky voice " Michael honey, it's mother, can you remember mommy sweety." I muttered "mother." The woman smiled and tucked her messy yet beautiful blonde curly hair behind her ear and replied "yes it's me honey." But my mother... the duchess died a long time ago, who is this woman? More importantly why is my voice husky and manly. Suddenly I had a headache and let out a grunting sound while holding my head and memories of the previous owner of this body that I seem to have taken over flooded in me. It turns out that I'm an 18 year old boy named Michael Mulvane from a country called Canada on planet earth, apparently magic does not exist in this world however knowledge of it is present in a form of fantasy, and science is so advanced that I understand why there is no need for magic. there is no nobility nor commoners the life of aristocracy and empires don't exist, just a balance between poor, middle-class and rich people. How refreshing, I think I will love this world. Michael had tried to commit suicide as he had failed his college entrance exams and was afraid to disappoint his mother, lucky for him I'm a smart person so I'll probably solve such trivial issues. Mike was indeed a stupid guy, his mother loved him and supported him unlike my father. Mike and I are kind of similar as we were both raised by single parents, only difference is I had everything handed to me and he struggled. He was raised by a single mother and lived in a rather impoverished state and college seemed like the only answer to up their status. So don't worry Mike, I will live this life for you and take care of your mother because your body granted my wish to live in an accepting world as a boy.

"honey don't force yourself to think about anything the doctor will be here soon." The lady I now have to call mother looked really tired, according to Mike's memories her name is Kathy Mulvane, she had bags under her blue beautiful eyes as if she was blessed by the sea Goddess Aqua. But I could tell that if she had to have good sleep and eat better, she is definitely an attractive woman. "mother, how long was I in slumber?" I muttered in a tired husky voice, Kathy smiled and giggled for the first time, I looked at her in confusion and she replied "Since when did you start speaking like an ancient English man." And I suddenly realized my mistake, I had spoken too formally and the way I spoke is how we speak in my former world however in this world it's taken as an ancient way of speaking. I laughed it off too, "oh come on mother I was tryna sound smart so I can try again for college next year." Kathy sighed and turned her eyes away from me, as to avoid my gaze, "you were in a coma for two months." I held her hand and gently squeezed it. "I'm really sorry mom, I promise I'll never worry you again." She smiled gently and gave me a soft kiss on my forehead and her blonde hair brushed against my face" I'll leave for now and let the doctor do his job, and make sure you get plenty of rest. I'll see you after work."
