1 ch 1 Awakening in a New World

As the Arjun is reborn, he feels disoriented and confused, not understanding what is happening. Suddenly, he hears some obscure words, and he looks around in bewilderment. Gradually, he remembers that he was dead and that he must have been reincarnated.

[SYSTEM BINDING IN PROGRESS]

[10% ..... 30%..... 70%...90%...100%]

[SYSTEM ONLINE, WELCOMES HOST]

At this moment, a prompt appears in front of him, announcing that the host binding process is complete.

As the Arjun stares at the system prompt, he feels a sense of urgency to access his status information. He tries saying "status," "panel," and "info" with no luck. He scratches his head in frustration, wondering what he could be missing.

Suddenly, a thought pops into his mind, and he says "interface." To his surprise, the system interface appears before his eyes, and he feels a sense of relief wash over him.

[System Message]: Welcome to the System! your attributes are currently very weak. However, as you grow and gain experience, your attributes and skills will improve. Keep exploring and learning new things to become stronger.

He sees that his race is a human, and he is currently at the Common Mortal level. He also notices that he doesn't even have any skill.

Additionally, the interface shows a locked section for a shop, which he assumes will become available as he progresses. As the arjun finished checking his status and exploring the system interface, he felt a sense of overwhelm wash over him. How was he supposed to adapt to this new world and this new life as a baby with weak attributes? He let out a sigh. As he lay there lost in thought, a prompt suddenly appeared in front of him,

[DO YOU WANT TO SLEEP?] [YES] [NO]

[CAUTION: TIMES IS UNKNOWN]

[CONFIRM][YES][NO]

He hesitated for a moment, wondering if it was safe to do so .He clicked on "Yes" and the system cautioned him that the length of time he would be asleep was unknown. He confirmed his decision, feeling himself gradually losing consciousness. As he drifted off, he couldn't help but wonder what adventures and challenges lay ahead for him in this new world.

THIRD VIEW POV:

As the MC slowly opened his eyes, he felt a heaviness in his head. He tried to remember what had happened before he fell asleep. He remembered the interface asking him if he wanted to sleep, and then his consciousness slipping away.

Suddenly, his memory flooded back. He remembered his past life, his parents, and his old job. He remembered his 10 years in the orphanage, the other kids he grew up with, and the caretakers who watched over them. He felt a sense of loss and longing for the life he used to have.

He sat up in bed and contemplated what to do next.

As he was lost in thought, he heard a voice from downstairs. "Come quickly, boy! It's your birthday today!"

He recognized the voice as the old man who had always been kind to him in the orphanage. He quickly got dressed and ran downstairs to the courtyard where a small group of people were gathered. There was a cake with candles on a table, and everyone was singing "Happy Birthday."

The old man greeted him warmly and handed him a small wrapped present. Arjun felt a pang of guilt for forgetting about his birthday, but he was grateful for the kindness shown to him.

As the celebration continued, he realized that he had a new family(old man) now. He may have lost his old life, but he had people who cared for him and wanted him to be happy. He decided to embrace his new life and make the most of it.

Then he blew out the candles on the cake, and everyone cheered. He smiled and made a wish, feeling optimistic about the future.

As Arjun walked into the dormitory, he looked around and muttered to himself, "This looks like 8 people huh. Although I have my memory, it's not that helpful." He then thought about what he would do once they were kicked out of the orphanage at the age of 10. "I have no money-making schemes," he thought to himself.

Suddenly, the loud voice of caretaker Fatima interrupted his thoughts, "Get your ass up here boys!". Arjun heard her voice. From his memory child aged 5 years or above do chores in orphanage. He saw them running towards her for their daily chores.

As the caretakers called for him, Arjun pretended not to hear and continued to lay down on his bed. He didn't want to join the other kids in doing chores; he just wanted to be alone. Being selfish was one of his character traits that he wasn't proud of, but he couldn't help it. He wondered what he could do after leaving the orphanage in two years. He had no plans and no skills; he was just an average kid. Maybe he could try his luck in the city or join the army. The possibilities seemed endless, yet none of them felt right to him.

Arjun eventually showed up late, and caretaker John asked, "What took you so long, boy?"

Arjun replied, "Oh, Uncle John, I was exercising. I want to be a knight."

John gave him a skeptical look and said, "Hmph, you and a knight, whatever, go fetch water with the others." Arjun responded, "Ah, yes."

John thought to himself, "Why does he feel a little weird? Must be child antics."

------------------------------------------------Next day----------------------------------------------------

Arjun woke up early and got ready to do his chores. His assigned task for the day was to fetch water from the well and fill up the containers. He walked towards the well, and on the way, he saw a cowshed. He stopped and decided to feed the cows there. He called out to one of them, "Hey there, what's your name?" He chuckled as if he expected the animal to answer him.

The cow, who he named "MooMoo," seemed to enjoy the attention and licked his hand as he petted her. After finishing the chore, he made his way to a site where the old man Henry often showed up to sit and relax. Arjun ran towards him and yelled, "Grandpa Henry!"

Arjun walked up to the old man and called out to him, "Grandpa Henry, can I talk to you?" Henry replied, "Hmm, it's unusual for you to call me. What do you want to hear today? More knight and mage legends?" He chuckled.

Arjun replied, "No, Grandpa Henry. I want to know more about this world, this place, what a knight exactly is, and are mages real? And what do I do after leaving the orphanage?".

Grandpa Henry chuckled and said, "Did our Ajju finally get mature?"

He then asked Arjun to come and sit under the Sapphire Willow Tree. "It's unusual for you to call me. tell me more, Boy" Grandpa Henry lovingly said.

Arjun walked over and sat down beside him. "This tree is beautiful," Arjun said, admiring the weeping branches of the Sapphire Willow Tree. "Its leaves sparkle like sapphires in the sunlight."

Grandpa Henry replied, "Yes, it's a beautiful tree. Isn't it Now, about your questions. Knights are warriors who uphold honour and protect the weak. As for mages, they are people who can perform magic. They are rare, but they do exist. And as for what you should do after leaving the orphanage, you should find your purpose in life. It could be anything you want it to be."

Arjun nodded thoughtfully, taking in Grandpa Henry's words. "Thank you, Grandpa Henry. I will think about it," he said.

Grandpa Henry patted Arjun's back and smiled. "Good luck, Ajju."

They chatted for a while, and Arjun told him about his plans for the future. Henry listened intently and gave him some advice, "You know, Arjun, life is full of surprises. Sometimes things don't go as planned, but that's okay. Just keep an open mind, and opportunities will come your way." Arjun smiled and thanked him for the advice.

As the conversation ended, Arjun ran back to the dormitory
