Chapter 2: Echoes of Youth

In the bustling streets of 2000's Secunderabad, Mahesh Kumar, a 20-year-old student at JNTUH University, navigated the unfamiliar surroundings with a mix of curiosity and nostalgia. The sights, sounds, and smells of the past enveloped him as he ventured deeper into the heart of the city.

Mahesh hailed from a humble middle-class family of four. His father owned a small supermarket, working tirelessly to provide for his loved ones, while his mother dedicated her days to caring for the family home. Mahesh's younger sister was currently studying intermediate, her dreams as bright as the future that lay ahead.

As Mahesh walked, his mind raced with questions about his newfound abilities and the purpose behind his journey through time. What was the significance of his rebirth in this era? And how could he navigate this world without the advanced technology he had grown accustomed to?

Lost in thought, Mahesh found himself drawn to a small park nestled amidst the chaos of the city. The park was a stark contrast to the towering skyscrapers and bustling streets—a tranquil oasis amidst the urban jungle. He took a seat on a weathered bench, allowing himself a moment of respite from the whirlwind of emotions swirling inside him.

As he sat, Mahesh noticed a group of children playing nearby. Their laughter and exuberance filled the air, momentarily lifting his spirits. Among the children was a young boy, no older than ten, who caught Mahesh's attention. The boy moved with a grace and agility that belied his age, his movements fluid and precise.

Intrigued, Mahesh focused his Talent Scanner abilities on the boy, curious to uncover the source of his remarkable skill. As he observed, talent scanning in progress, familiar yet different from before.|

As the sun began to set on the horizon, casting a warm glow over the city, Mahesh made a silent promise to himself—to embrace the adventure that lay ahead and to never lose sight of the boundless potential that lay within him.
