In the vibrant city of Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India, a young man named Aman faced significant challenges at age 21. Having lost his parents in a tragic accident when he was just 10 years old, he was left to navigate life without the support and guidance of a family. His only guardian was his uncle, who struggled with alcoholism, creating an unstable and often unfriendly environment for Aman.
As an introvert, Aman found it difficult to express himself and connect with others, making his situation even more isolating. After reaching adulthood at 18, he made the courageous decision to leave his uncle's house in search of independence. He found a small rented room where he could carve out a space for himself and began working multiple part-time jobs. Despite the hardships he faced, Aman was determined to create a better life for himself.
One night, while returning from work, Aman witnessed a distressing scene. Three men were bullying a college girl on the other side of the road, forcing her into a narrow alley. Without hesitation, Aman ran towards them.
"Hey, bastards, let her go. She is not your property, and you cannot force her to do as you please," Aman shouted, his voice filled with anger.
"Who is this guy ruining our fun? Bro, deal with him," one of the men sneered. A muscular thug stepped forward, grabbing Aman by the collar.
"You think you're some kind of hero, you little brat? I guess I have to teach you a lesson," the thug growled.
Sensing the imminent danger, Aman struck first. He kicked the thug, pushing him backward. The other two men, who were holding the girl, rushed towards Aman. He kicked one of them and grabbed the other, shouting to the girl, "Run! Run as far as you can!"
The girl managed to escape, but the thug Aman had kicked earlier pulled out a knife. As Aman struggled with the other two men, the thug stabbed him repeatedly. As he lay bleeding, Aman's thoughts were bittersweet. "At least I saved her... but I wanted to live a happy life before I died. I guess that cannot happen."
Aman thought he was dead. But when he opened his eyes again, he saw a woman and other people wearing fancy dresses like nobles. A little further away, he noticed girls in maid outfits. He couldn't understand what they were saying, but they seemed happy. As he tried to raise his arms, he realized they were very small. It dawned on him that he was now a child, reincarnated in a different world.
"Sid, that's what we will call him from now on," said the lady holding him in her arms.
Aman who is now Sid was still just processing what was happening to him, Sid in his mind, "Is it some kind of death dream or something."
