when he died accidentally, the god gave him another chance and he enters another world full of magic and mythical creatures. he may not know anything, but God does have plans for him.
let us travel with him in this world of adventures.
it is the morning of the day after the encounter in the forest. I woke up at the exact time I usually woke up. I went down and my day started with encountering my mom who had smoke coming out of her ears. I have to get punishment since I came empty-handed last night, and I came back without a scratch even though she doesn't know my encounter she looks disappointed that I escaped from the forest successfully, and I didn't do any chores yesterday night. how pathetic.
I did all the works she throws at me and acted normally. you know my mom is a clever lady she will smell it if I wavered I little from my usual self and will start her interrogation and investigation. I am not ready to handle her wrath when I don't know anything about myself. she might taunt me or even throw me away from home by saying I am a freak, I can't afford it.
it was 5 in the evening when I finished all my work. I quickly sneak away and started my journey towards the local library. let me tell you about my town. it is small town compared to the city I lived in my previous life. this town approximately has around 60 families, and all are close to each other. they all are a middle-class families. we always have a get-together once in a month. but I never get outside my house since according to my "mom" I am a "shy boy".
my town is a beautiful place surrounded by rivers, mountains, and forests. my town is also a clean town with uniformly build houses (except my house) with a small garden in everyone's back yard.
I finally reached the library. it is an old building with different artworks beautifying the walls. it has racks and racks of big books with odd cover pages. I found the librarian in between some racks.
he is a little old man with a wrinkled face. I think he is from the mid-50s .he is wearing an old patched up dress. ok, I can do it. I have two advantages. one, no one knows about me in this town. two, even though I am 6 years old now, my body shouts out that I am a 4 years old baby. with little pep talk in my mind, I approached him.
I acted to be shy and asked him in my baby voice by pulling his shirt." grandpa I want to know about our world."
he looked at my direction and adjusted his spectacles and said," hello there lit' one, what are you doing here? did you get lost? how can I help you?" his eyes are soft and it is filled with warmth and kindness.
"grandpa I want to know about our world."
he made a wholehearted laugh and started walk to the backside of the racks. I stand their awkwardly. after some steps, he looked back and gestured me to come. I run happily towards him and placed my hands on his. his hands are warm.
we moved towards a large desk which had the biggest book I have ever seen. he placed me on the table and sit on the paired up chair, and started telling the story.
"let's see. over 500 years ago our world "Erdi" was burst out from another planet called " Gaia". the first living thing that emerged was us, humans. some of the humans had powers like shapeshifting and word power. they lived happily for some years. but after that, some humans become greedy and started to misuse the powers given by our god, "Deus". so he punished them by changing them into mythical creatures. it went well for some years but after that, the population of them got drastically high and they started to attack humans. so the human-adapted the practice of civilization, i.e, they started to live in a group. this leads to the fight within groups. to solve those they appointed a man called a king who has ultimate power over the people.
some people didn't liked the idea of single-man rule. so they made committee of selected ones who will work under a king. for the first some years the selection of king was held through election but after some period it becomes hereditary."
"do all of us can be magicians?"
"magician, ha ha ha.........., they are called "Magi".and they recite words in the language of "Liki" and their words will become the command for nature. and the powers are hereditary. the "Liki" language cannot be thought easily"
"do we always have to recite to do things."
"no, there is another group called "elementals", who have power over elements of our world like water, lightening, sand, rock, air, trees, fire, etc.."
"how do we know we have powers?"
"There are no power users in our town, but if you want to check you have to place your hands over power ball which usually present in the local shrine."
"I want to place my hand over it"
"you are a lucky one boy I have it now in the library"
he stood up and went inside a room in the back. after 2 or 3 minutes he came back with a crystal ball placed in a cushion.
I placed my hand in the ball. it showed no signs at first but it started to glow bright white. I closed my eyes and I was in space and there was a ring of dust around me. the dust particles are of different color like dark blue, violet, brown, grey, gold, red, green, light blue. when I opened my eyes the crystal ball is emitting dark black color.

when I looked at grandpa he was so pale like he saw a ghost and said: " who are you?".
