Reincarnation

In the infinite darkness, Jason thought he had witnessed a ray of light. Suddenly, he woke up wide-eyed as though he had been startled by a nightmare.His chest rose and fell as he panted for breath. He was still terrified inside.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he realized something was wrong. He couldn't breathe properly and he in fact crying for some reason. Crying. Another thing he was sure that whatever this scene was, it wasn't from the earth he knew.Because the person holding him was radiating some sort of light from his hands.

What? He was a baby? Born to a new world?.

Like seriously reincarnated and the whole thing like in some of the books?

It wasn't like our protagonist wanted to be reincarnated into a new world. He didn't have the wish to be strongest in the world. Nor did he have people whom he swore revenge against. Just an average guy from the 21st century earth. Living a leisurely and carefree life.

Even when he was on Earth. He did not know who his parents were, he grew up in the orphanage. He had never had family or friends or girlfriend. He had never had his own house. When he was five, the orphanage that took him in. He managed to grew up, along with some other children, but ever since then he was completely alone. One can imagine what kind of life he was forced to lead as a child. He couldn't even remember or how many times he was beaten or bully from other children.so he didn't live good life.

Despite bullying from other children, he had never cried. He never complained about how life treated him so poorly. He used his own methods to survive until he met his end at the age of twenty four. Even though he never had the chance for a normal life, he did not have any regrets. He never blamed destiny for abandoning him, but all the hardships he had suffered were engraved in heart.

Focusing on the new people surrounding him, it seems that the language they spoke wasn't one that he was familiar with.Nor did any of the words he heard seemed to be from any of the language he recognized. Being from a modern age, one was sure to at least have some sort of an idea about the major languages. They wouldn't understand it, but could perhaps tell to which region it belonged to.

He heard one word which is spoken in the room over and over again. If he guessed it right, it might be his name.

"Merlin".

Days and years were passing in complete leisure. He still couldn't understand proper speech but began to grasp several keywords which included food, water, potty and several other overly used words. As Merlin grew up to be 6 years old. He had enough grasp on the language to hold conversation with other people. People regarded him as a talented and disciplined child because of his speech pattern and his behaviour. He was a grown up at after all.
