“ Wake up big brother! You will be late for your college classes”

A young boy who was dressed in his high school uniform shouted from the kitchen, busy preparing breakfast for three people.

“Oye sung need help?”

Kim hanwo said while drinking water directly from the sink.

“ No need, brother! But could you help waking up that lazy bun”

“ Is that shithead still sleeping?”

“ Haha, well he did help in my study last night “

~ Nervous

‘Kim enter the bedroom, grab jinwoo by his leg and pull him so hard off the bed that his head went on crashing on the floor’

“ MOTHERFU…….”

Well that's some way of waking someone up.But it was norme for these three guys living together. They have been living together for a year now.

“ Thank you for the food”

‘ Everyone prayed before starting the breakfast ‘

“ You have to wake up in time jackass”

“ Yeah yeah! And you don't have to be a jerk Early in the morning!”

“ C'mon big brothers, focus on your food. It's getting cold and you know why it happened right, both of you know right!“

‘ Sung cheong made a idol face but it causes both young men to flinch as they know that's his angry face and once angry, they won't get to have breakfasts in the morning’

~ Flinch

Even though they have different personalities and surnames, they have one thing in common, they were all orphans and grew up in same orphanage.

Kim hanwo and park jinwoo were of the same age while Sung cheong was three years younger than them.

“ Hanwo! We are leaving alright make sure to lock the door when you leave”

Park closes the door to leave for his morning college classes and is accompanied by Sung cheong who is one the way to his School.

Walking along the road Sung cheong started speaking,

“ Hey big brother! Have you completely read the web novel I recommended?”

“ yep and to be honest I know why it is a hidden gem”

“ Yeah I know right, even if the game sucks but the spinoff story of first priestess and the king was amazingly fun to read”

‘ The game Sung is talking about is called “DUNGEON RAIDERS” an old gen gacha MMORPG that flopped due to having tough competition in the market. I'm one of the only few players who still plays this game.’

“ But the game sucks!”

‘ After hearing such remarks from his little brother, it still stings. Well there are better games nowadays with high graphics and advanced mechanics with Artificial intelligence that can rival military AI intelligence.’

“Hey big brother wait a minute, I will go in that convenience store real quick”

He ran off.

“Fine I will wait”

In a split second,a car comes crashing into park jinwoo, crushing him between the car and the wall. He was still conscious after that crash.

‘F*** what happened, Thank god I survived, Ahh! It hurts, it f****** hurts.’

As Park looks down at his body, he realizes that his body has been cut off into two complete halves. His intestines and organs were spread across the road, blood gushing out from his lower body.His pain receptors went numb. He couldn't feel any pain. A cloud of darkness started to spread in front of his eyes. He wasn't thinking straight, he couldn't think any more. Nothing mattered to him anymore.

‘No, no no no, this can't be happening to me. No, I just got my independence from the orphanage. No, I wanted to live more. I wanted to see more. Attending my Sung cheong graduation ceremony. I want to wait for Kim to return from the army all the time. I want to find my love of life. Have a lot of kids. I want to …..’

And suddenly he woke up, facing a strange ceiling. Laying on a strange bed. It wasn't a hospital bed. He raised his arms up but strangely it wasn't his arms. He didn't have small skinny arms. He felt his face and it was smoother than before. He sprung up from his bed and ran towards the window where he saw a reflection of himself.

Golden hairs, deep blue eyes, sharp nose and the body of a 15 year old boy are appearing on the reflection.

At afternoon

~ knock knock knock

“Madam head maid! It's me rose. May I come in. I have something to report about lord Hunter”

A person in maid uniform, with crimson red eyes and short black hair is standing in front of a head maid office door.

“Come in rose”

“I shall,Thank you”

~Creak open ~ thump close

A woman in her fifties, with blue eyes and chestnut colored hair, is sitting in front of a desk with documents in front of her.

“What did that boy do now?”

“Madam! He has been refusing to come out of his room since morning. He also didn't ate his food and medicine”

“What? What happened? Is he still in his room? Why didn't you try to enter there”

Rose squeezes her right hand showing a scar. Marisa remembers Rose has a fear of disobeying Hunter.

‘It happened such a long time ago. They were partially kids at that time. I thought she would be over with it by now.’

~Sigh…..

~ Rose flinch….

“I will talk to him, make sure not to report to the duchess.”

“Yes madam! I will take my leave”

Marisa left her office and on her way to Hunter’s bedroom, she remembers the days of her babysitting all the Twins and Hunter.

‘ He was such a bright child. I don't know what went wrong and when. But now he is not only a troublemaker and has a mean personality. He is now nothing but a selfish eccentric sick brat. I failed my job big time.I don't know what the Duke is even thinking about it”

~ Knock knock

“Lord! It's Marisa. I'm coming in”

She took out her keys and opened the door. To her surprise, the room is clean. No broken pieces of glass or shattered utensils. She only found a young lord sleeping on his bed.

‘Look at him. Sleeping where we are working our ass off for the upcoming family annual Ball party. And only three days are left. I need to finish this problem quickly.’

As she placed her hand on his forehead. She found out he was burning hot.

“Heeeey! Is someone out there? Call the family doctor real quick.”

‘OH god! please be okay. Don't die on me.’

After some time. Doctor comes out of the Hunter’s room where he meets with Marisa and a young maid with light blue hairs and blue eyes.

“He is stable right now. There is no need to worry. It seems he missed both doses of medicine in a row. He is sleeping right now. Give him some time to recover. He will be good for the ball party.”

“Great. That's good news. He made me worried sick right there. I will show you the way out. Sky, stay beside the young lord for now. He is in sleep right now, make sure not to wake him up”

“Yes madam”

Both the head maid and Doctor left and Sky entered the room and sat on the stool beside the bed.

As she sat down, she heard the young lord sleep talking repeating the same words.

“I don't wanna die! I don't wanna die! I don't wanna die! I don't wanna die!”

It seems he is having nightmares but

Sky as soon as she understood the words, a tear fell down from her right eye. She quickly wipes it down and grabs his left hand which is shivering intensely, stop to halt.

“ I'm sorry. I'm sorry I wasn't here before. And I can only do this for you. I'm sorry. I'm……… really.”

‘I wish I was here for you before’

Sky sit beside him while holding his hands all night.

Hunter's pov.

Next morning

~Yamn….

As soon as he woke up, he found the same ceiling, the same bed and in the same room he woke up in yesterday.

‘I wish it was a dream yesterday but I guess it's my reality now. Huh! Wait, who is she?’

Hunter found himself near a sleeping girl who was holding his hand.

‘Umm who is she? Is she a maid? Well this does look like a rich person's house.But what should I do now? Should I just woke her up and let her sleep’

As he was still contemplating on what to do with her. She started to move and woke up on her own. Embarrassed, she quickly wipes her drool off, fix her hairs little bit and then said,

“Good morning Young lord! I hope you forgive my mistake as I am new here. What would you like to do now? Shall I prepare a hot bath for you or prepare your breakfast and bring it here.’

“It's fine, fine. I will need a bath first. Thank you”

~ Startled

Sky looked confused and started to stare on him with a hint of confusion and wonder due to sudden change in his behavior and change of speech.

‘Why is she staring so hard? Should I ask her to stop that?

“Umm……. Could you stop staring at me so intensely. You will put a hole into me.”

“ I'm sorry please forgive this lowly servant I shall prepare your bath right away”

She bowed her head down till it reaches knee level and left the room in hurry

~Siiiiiiiiiiiighhhhhhhhhhhhh

‘Well I guess the owner of This body behaves differently than me. I suppose that was the reason for her startlness. Well I guess it's my reality now. I'm now in the body of someone I don't know or remember. Is this what sung cheong always speaks about? Reincarnated or isekaied huh. It does feel like I'm in another reality.”

He jumped out of the bed and looked through the window where all he could see was workers working on the flower garden. Maids and guards running around as if there is some sort of emergency. Then he stood in front of the mirror. Watching yourself in the mirror and not being able to recognize yourself still feels awkward knowing that you are now a different person will have to live a different life.

‘Well at least he has a handsome face. Even though I feel so weak. Am I some kind of a patient? Hahaha.Hope not cause I just got my second life. But something is bugging me.’

“Wait who am I even to begin with and where am I?”

“Excuse young lord! But what did you just say?”

‘ Ah yes I can ask her.”

“Um…………Ahhhh “

“Sky my lord!”

“ Yes, yes sky? Tell me who I am?”

Sky started to stare again at him wondering and then got excited on her own as if she figured out what I was asking her about.

“I hope this naive servant will be forgiven as I tell you, you are the Fourth child of Duke Helstein, Hunter Lawson Helstein of the great kingdom of the Roadyma. My lord”

‘Well this will give me something to work with. But why does it feel like I know this place?’

“Sky, can you explain what's going on outside? People are running like crazy outside”

“They are preparing for Family annual Ball party that's is going to take place in two days from now on”

“I see”

‘Well that's helpful to know. It seems like I'm not on earth anymore and I'm the son of some duke. Well this explains all the richies’

~ knock knock

“Young lord your bath is ready”

After finishing the bath and eating breakfast in the same bedroom.

‘Man this is life. Who thought dying could lead to such heavens.’

He is lying on the sofa near the bed and Maid sky is standing right beside the door

‘It seems i can't remember how I died in my last life anymore. That's weird. Wait, that's totally…… how could I not remember it?I can't remember it’

“ My lord! It's time for your medicine.”

‘ yeah I thought so. I have some kind of illness. Man I hoped it wasn't the case.’

“Sky. What kind of illness do I have?”

“If I remember correctly, it's something related to your mana and neurons circuit”

“Mana what”

At exact moment someone knocked on the door.

~knock knock

“My lord! It's me, Rose. Head maid wants to meet with you right now”

Rose was ready to get assaulted by something but to her surprise,or get yelled at,but young lord did nothing but replied gently.

“Fine. Tell her I will meet her in few minutes”

‘ This will be a good opportunity for me to learn more about whats happening around myself’

“Yes my lord!” Rose also left in some kind of confusion shown on her face.

“Hey sky! Am I acting weirdly today?’

“It's just Young lord used to be active but seeing you calm today is a little bit”

~sigh….

“Fine. Do you know where the head maid will be?

“Yes! She probably is busy in her office right now. I will lead you the way.”

“ Fine, thank you!”

Sky flinched.

~Flinched

‘How bad of a character I was “
