Once a Villager is a captivating tale of transformation, resilience, and self-discovery. It follows the journey of a young boy, born and raised in a remote, vibrant village, where traditions and community define life. With dreams larger than the horizon, he ventures into the city to seek education and opportunities. As he navigates the challenges of urban life—discrimination, loneliness, and the struggle to adapt—he finds himself caught between two worlds: the simplicity of his roots and the complexity of his newfound reality. Along the way, he discovers the true meaning of identity, success, and belonging. This story is a celebration of culture, a critique of societal divides, and an inspiring reminder that where we come from shapes, but does not limit, who we can become.

He was a standout among his peers, excelling in every tasks that came his way. Everything seemed to be on track for him — until the pivotal day of the Class Selection process.
