New Beginning
The lady was sitting on the bed with Mike 'sleeping' on her lap.
Not long after a doctor with long beard came and started making medicines on the table using herbs that I have never seen before.
After giving us the various medicines, he continued to check our injuries one by one. When he touched any part of me, I sensed warm energy flowing in every organ of my 'new body'.
The whole time Mike was sleeping in the lady's lap that introduced her as his mother. We hardly spoke a word as she told us about how the four of us got robbed and nearly killed by a famous gang of city.
Coincidentally our names were the same as the names of these four 'children', but after going through this much we didn't feel shocked.
And yes, I said 'children' because the four of us were 18 and about to join college after we graduated from school but now we ended up in body of 15 year Olds.
***************
A day later everyone got back to their 'new homes' and met their new family. The feeling was strange and awkward as if we know them.
Everyone except Mike was having this feeling but Mike was looking rather happy, maybe because he needed some familial love or maybe he just wanted to distract his mind.
After I ended up in my new family, I found a cute little sister rushing to me and hugging me tightly. I was happy as I always wanted a sibling.
After cooling down our minds we came to know few things about this new world,
1. The place we are in is called 'Black Pearl Empire' and we live in Capital city of Empire named 'Red Gold City'.
2. This world is filled of people who learn martial arts and cultivation techniques.
3. Having Multiple Women or having a Harem in this world was Normal Feat.
4. Currency of the world was round silvery stones called spirit stones that were used for cultivation.
Claude was over excited at first because he had read many novels on these worlds but after sometime he felt sad because there were NO PHONES in this world....
********************
The Central square of Red Gold City was filled was crowd of people and there was a huge stone tablet on the centre.
The four of us were sitting in circle in a restaurant close to Central Square.
Mike with a serious face said "Guys sorry for causing trouble, I have decided to search for her in this world, even if she was at edge of this world I will not give up"
" umm that's great but what are we going to do today. The ceremony conducted every year to search for young talent in the empire is about to start and we are 15 this year so we have to participate" said claude.
"but Claude we don't know anything about our talent as we just came to this world and we have no memories of this world " I replied
"Alex your family must have given you a pill to eat before coming here right?"
"are you talking about that red pill?"
"yes, that is a low level pill to increase our innate talent to absorb Qi energy. That is what the stone tablet will measure"
"yeah I got one too" Mike said with determined eyes.
"so that's what it is...." I slowly said
"But I got a purple pill !!" claimed claude proudly
"why?" two of us asked together.
"that is a high level pill 1000 times more effective than low level ones, My father send it to me. The merchant guild my father runs is situated in several empires like black pearl empire, even the emperor doesn't dare to be disrespectful with my father"
"even the emperor of the empire doesn't dare....." I mumbled
"Whaat? My friend is a Super Rich dude... Oh my God" Mike freaked out
"Drake which color pill did you get?" I asked before we all looked towards calmest member of our group.
"I didn't get one" Drake replied indifferently
"...."
