"Keep resting and ensure you're getting the right amount of nutrients for your body, and you'll be discharged within 2 weeks."

"Yes, thank you doc."

"Hoho! No problem young lad, just don't forget what I said."

"Right."

"And also, congratulations on your awakening."

Feeling thankful to the doctor, I slightly bowed my head as I watched him leave the room. It's been a week since I found out that I've transmigrated into a parallel world with no memories of the past world or the current whatsoever. Faye and I are still recovering from our injuries, although the wounds aren't that deep thanks to magic. However, my legs aren't fully healed yet due to a broken foreleg.

'I guess relying on magic to heal broken bones isn't ideal.'

Despite the fact that healing magic or potions could instantly mend my broken bones, the doctor advised strongly against it. It's better to let them heal naturally, making them sturdier in the process. Using magic or potions could cause the bones to heal unnaturally, forming them weak as before. After examining my leg, I inwardly muttered a word.

Seeing my skills, I felt a sense of triumph. Although most of my variable stats were kinda low, I still had some high-rank skills that would definitely help in my current situation. According to information in this world, most people start with stats ranging from 1.60 to 1.80. However, I was kind of surprised to find that my intelligence and charm were higher than others. I guess my charm is already given, considering my appearance. Pale smooth skin with no marks or blemishes, silky black hair, pale blue eyes, a long nose, sleek jawline, and a symmetrical face that could rival most models back in my old world.

'As expected, I still can't see the others.'

For some reason, I couldn't fully see my stats, as if some kind of phenomenon was blocking me from seeing them.

'Could it be the one who sent me here?'

"But still, it's hard to believe."

In this parallel world where the concept of a system and magic exists, I find myself facing even more problems. Firstly, why do I have amnesia? Although the doctor said it may be temporary, caused by the accident, I can't shake the feeling that it's more than that. Right now, I'm experiencing amnesia, but I'm certain that I don't belong in this world. The world I come from doesn't have mana and a system. Secondly, who is responsible for putting me in this situation? Is it God or some higher beings? And lastly, why was I chosen? Did I do something to deserve being in this situation?

"Summoning" isn't the right word, because I'm not just summoned; I'm in someone else's body. Many theories come to mind, but there's one thing that makes sense to me: my soul has been transmigrated into someone else's body, without any memories.

*Sign*

'My purpose huh...'

I still don't know why I was chosen, but I sense a purpose for being here. It's like it's etched into my being, constantly reminding me since the moment I arrived.

'Guide and protect the heroes'

Those words made my head ache. Guiding them is one thing, but why the hell am I supposed to protect the heroes? Are they retard or something?

'If I fail to fulfill my duty, what will happen then? Will the world perish due to the abnormal increase in high-rank dungeons, or will some higher beings descend here? Either way, I'll unravel the mysteries behind my questions in this world.'

* knock, knock*

As I'm deep in thought, making preparations for the future, I heard a knocking on the door of my room.

"Brother?"

Came a voice from the other side of the door.

"Faye. Come in."

"Yes."

"What's the matter?"

"Th-the doctor said I'll be discharged next week."

"Really? that's good to know!"

"B-but I'll be left alone...after that."

Faye was still overwhelmed after what happened. She's just a child, after all. Losing both of our parents at the same time. No wonder her condition is not good right now. Even though I don't have memories of her, my heart aches seeing her suffer from such a traumatic experience.

"Don't worry, Faye. I'll talk to Uncle Guren about that. I'm planning to let him take care of you for a while after I get discharged. You can still visit me every day, right?"

"Yes brother, th-thank you..."

"You're welcome."

After dispersing her worries, I patted her head and gently rubbed it. She smiled at me and decided to go back, so I bid her farewell. It seems Faye also awakened because of the incident that happened to us. I was kind of worried if she was in the same state as I am because of the abnormal stats I've possessed. Thankfully, her stats is not affected, and her variables are quite above average for her age. Her skills are also balanced, mid-tier rank, which are related to being a magician.

'Now...'

After our conversation, I grabbed my phone and decided to contact Guren to tell him my decisions.

*Ring!-Ring*

"What's up kid, need something?"

"Yeah Uncle, I need to talk to you about something."

"Alright, wait for me. I'll go there after I finish my stuff."

"Right, thank you I'll be waiting."
