1 Where am I?
At night with a splitting headache a kid of 17-18 years old woke up on the road side.
"Hey, do you need a ride somewhere?" said a taxi driver who stopped after seeing the luxurious clothes on the kid. Kid was trying to recognize the surroundings when he heard the taxi driver.
He picked himself from the road side and said to the taxi driver, "Take me to the "The Intercity Orphanage" will you?"
Not recognizing the name, driver politely asked the kid, "Where will that be kid?, I don't recognize the name". Taxi driver was thinking "I don't know what kid of a rich kid would be in the middle of the road with no escort, should I get involved? It can be turning point in my life if I help a rich man but this kid, what kind of influence a 18 year old kid has?"
Before the kid could respond, his mind felt like it was going to blow up with the intense pain causing him to wobble on his feet. Sound started coming into his ears.
[World System detected a parallel plane crossover of a soul, determining the origin of the soul, please wait...]
Hearing this abnormal words, kid felt weird and tried to stable himself when the voice sounded again.
[Soul's origin has been determined to be from parallel earth-898, fetching data to help the host, please wait, calculating time estimate for fetching data..

Hearing this voice twice taught the kid something, he wasn't delusional. He checked the surroundings to check if someone spoke those words but he saw just the taxi driver standing in front of him. He was confused beyond doubt. He decided to ignore the sound for now and tried to explain the location of "The Intercity Orphanage" but every landmark was unrecognizable to the taxi driver. Suddenly he remembered the words of the sound which said "parallel plane crossover" and as soon as those words came to the mind, memories as well.
-------
He remembered that he was leaving the orphanage for some grocery shopping as he became the cook at the orphanage to help out as he was an orphan as well and orphanage took care of him for 16 years. He was supposed to leave the place to find a job and have a family but he thought of his brothers and sisters at the orphanage as his family. He took a part time job at the local supermarket and used more than 90% of his salary on rations for the orphanage.
While at the supermarket, a robbery took place who threatened the cashier for all the cash. Cashier panicked and dropped the cash on the floor, robber bent to take the money and he had stepped up and tried to wrestle the gun out of his hands when the gun shot and he was hit in the stomach and took his last breath there as the ambulance was a little too late.
Remembering till this, he knew something is amiss as he can not be alive and remembered that the voice said something about "soul". He heard it once again.
[ Host has remembered his past, host has been detected to be in a disarray state, host is also detected to be hurt on the skull, concussion is detected along with internal hemorrhage causing reduction in health stats. Reduction of one point in health stat will occur every 1 minute. Immediate action is recommended.

This time the kid listened and understood that only this so called "World System" knows about his past and seems to be helping him. He remembered the last part and calculated that his current health stat should be 62 but he didn't know what that meant . Remembering the voice that he might die in about 1hr, he said to the taxi driver "Take me to the "Intercity Hospital" please, I am bleeding and could die because of it".
The taxi driver saw blood dripping from his head into his neck and going into his shirt, dyeing the collar on the neck crimson red and panicked and knew that he couldn't afford to be implicated in this, he said stammering to the kid, " I.. I don't know where that place is but we can go to the "Metropolitan Hospital", should we go there?".
Remembering that everything is different in this world he decided that he should just listen to the taxi driver and go to the hospital to get treatment and said, " Yeah, let's do that".
The taxi driver drove the car madly and reached the hospital in about 24 minutes. After reaching the hospital reception, the kid remembered that he didn't have the money, so taxi driver paid for him and was sent the kid for surgery. The taxi driver was distraught as he didn't get the taxi charges and he had to pay for the kid's operation which would cost him his life savings. He sat outside the operation room and quietly waited for the doctor.

Inside a manor on a hill, a person was sitting in his study when he said to the butler, "Where is that rascal? He shouldn't be away for that long of a time. Call him and get him to come home."
Butler politely replied, "Yes, master".
Butler came back after making a call and had the forehead full of cold sweat. He bowed to the person and said nervously, "Master, it seems that Young Master's car was found at an accident with a truck and Young Master is nowhere to be found."
The person stood up and at that moment, a lady came into the study room and asked, "Where is my little rascal?"
The person explained to the lady, the same thing which his butler had told him at which the lady's beautiful face converted into a stone cold one.
The person shifted his eyes to the butler and said, "Find my little rascal, if he was in an accident as you said and if he got hurt even remotely, ambulance should have taken him to a hospital for the treatment, find in all the hospitals and check any person who got admitted after that accident."
