Opening Scene:
Alex Landon, a brilliant scientist and leader, sacrifices himself in his world's final moments, knowing his actions will save billions. But as he drifts into darkness, he senses an odd warmth—a second chance? He awakens in a small, rustic cottage, surrounded by straw mats, the smell of herbs, and a worried elderly woman—his "mother." He's reborn as Rean Ashford, a simple farmer's son in a world unknown to him.
Rean's early days are filled with confusion. His memories are fragmented, and while he recalls knowledge and skills from his past life, specific details remain foggy. He tries to fit in with his humble surroundings, taking on his new role as a farmhand. As days turn to weeks, Rean realizes he has unusual strength, reflexes, and a natural ability for magic, abilities that would normally take years to master. Yet he resolves to keep these gifts hidden, knowing from his previous life that power attracts attention—and danger. One day, while working in the fields, Rean encounters a rampaging boar attacking a young villager. Acting on instinct, he reaches out, and a surge of energy bursts from his hand, subduing the beast with ease. The villagers are shocked but quickly brush it off as a fluke, yet Rean feels the full weight of his abilities. This encounter propels him to explore his powers in secret, training at night and mastering spells, physical enhancements, and healing abilities that feel natural, yet beyond any known magic in this world. As he integrates into village life, Rean begins to understand the hardships faced by commoners. The village is plagued by unfair taxes from the local lord, food shortages, and disease. Rean's compassion from his previous life stirs within him, and he begins to use his powers in subtle ways—healing the sick, enhancing crop growth, and warding off pests. The villagers are amazed by the "miracles" but assume it's the work of a protective spirit or divine blessing. However, Rean knows he must stay cautious, aware that drawing too much attention could put him and the village in jeopardy.
Late one night, Rean is confronted by an elderly mystic from the village who senses the otherworldly nature of his power. She warns him of the dangers that await if he steps into the kingdom's larger affairs. As Rean reflects on her words, he resolves to be careful—but inside, he feels the pull to change the lives of his people for the better.
