As I tried to shake off the lingering haze of confusion, a new character entered the room, breaking the tension with her lively presence. It was my magical teacher Rachel Hungiston, a wise and experienced sorceress who had taken it upon herself to guide me through the intricacies of this unfamiliar world.

"Ah, Prithviraj, good to see you're awake," she greeted me with a warm smile. "I hope you're ready for today's lesson."

I nodded uncertainly, still grappling with the memories of yesterday's events—or lack thereof.

"Yesterday's session was quite eventful, wasn't it?" she continued, her eyes twinkling with amusement. "Although it seems you might not remember much of it."

I shook my head, feeling a pang of frustration at my own forgetfulness.

Undeterred, my teacher began to explain the basics of magic, starting from the very beginning as if sensing my confusion. But as she delved deeper into the intricacies of spellcasting and elemental manipulation, something unexpected happened.

A surge of power coursed through me, an almost overwhelming sensation of energy and potential. With a sense of wonder, I realized that I possessed an abundance of mana, far beyond what was considered normal for a novice magician.

My teacher's eyes widened in astonishment as she observed my effortless mastery of the spells she had taught. "It seems you have quite the aptitude for magic, Prithviraj," she remarked, her voice tinged with awe. "But there's something else, isn't there? A knowledge and understanding that goes beyond what I've taught you."

I hesitated, unsure of how to explain the strange amalgamation of science and magic that existed within me, a product of my previous life in a world governed by different laws.

But as I struggled to find the words, my teacher simply smiled, her expression filled with a mixture of curiosity and admiration. "We have much to learn from each other, it seems," she said, her tone laced with excitement. "Together, we will unlock the full extent of your potential and discover the true extent of your powers."

And with that, our journey into the world of magic began anew, fueled by the promise of discovery and the boundless possibilities that lay ahead.

As my teacher, Rachel Hungiston, marveled at my unexpected proficiency in magic, the door swung open once more, revealing the familiar figures of my mother, Sangeeta Kashyap, and my younger sister, Sanjana, who was 4 years younger than me (me being 12 years old).

"Prithviraj, dear, are you feeling better?" my mother asked, her concern evident in her voice as she rushed to my side.

"I'm fine, Amma," I assured her, offering a reassuring smile. "Just a bit disoriented, that's all."

Rachel, ever perceptive, observed our interaction with a keen interest. "Ah, Mrs. Kashyap, it's a pleasure to see you again," she greeted my mother warmly. "I hope Prithviraj's studies haven't been too taxing on him."

My mother returned the smile, her eyes crinkling at the corners with affection. "Not at all, Miss Hungiston. If anything, he seems to have taken to magic quite naturally."

Sanjana (my sister) always eager to be a part of the conversation, piped up from beside my mother. "Can I learn magic too, Rachel aunty?" she asked, her eyes wide with excitement.

Rachel chuckled softly, her gaze shifting to Sanjana. "Perhaps one day, Sanjana. But for now, let's focus on your brother's training, shall we?"

Sanjana nodded eagerly, her curiosity piqued by the prospect of exploring the world of magic alongside me.

As the conversation continued, I couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude for the unwavering support of my family. And with Rachel's guidance, I knew that together, we would unlock the full extent of my powers and embark on a journey filled with wonder, discovery, and the occasional misadventure. In the mid of their conversation, my sister asked me , " What are you going to buy as a gift for tomorrow's special person birthday big bro?:

I asked, Who? Whose birthday?

My mom replied in "Princess Sanyogita dear of a royal palace".

As my mother mentioned the princess's upcoming birthday celebration, a wave of disbelief washed over me. Princess? Birthday celebration? Palace? It all seemed so surreal, like a scene from a fairy tale spun from the depths of my wildest imagination.

Caught between bewilderment and intrigue, I could only nod in response to my mother's request. "Of course, Amma. I'll go explore the capital and find something suitable for the princess," I replied, my voice tinged with uncertainty.

As I stepped out into the bustling streets of the capital, I couldn't shake the feeling of being an outsider in this strange and unfamiliar world. The sights and sounds of the city enveloped me, each alleyway and marketplace teeming with life and activity.

Lost in thought, I wandered aimlessly through the crowded streets, my mind racing with questions and doubts. What was my role in all of this? And why had I been summoned in this world I had only just become aware of?

But as I passed by merchants selling their wares and artisans showcasing their craftsmanship, a sense of determination began to take root within me. If I couldn't make sense of this world, then perhaps I could at least fulfill my duties as best as I could.

With newfound resolve, I set out to find the perfect gift for the princess, guided by a sense of duty and a flicker of hope that maybe, just maybe, I would find some answers along the way.
