Prologue

In the dark of the night with just the moon as the source of the light, in an inconspicuous alley if one looked closely a figure could be made out sitting in the corner with a single piece of bread in his hands just staring at it blankly.

He is the protagonist. He doesn't know why or how he is here or where he is , one moment he was sitting in his office managing the files then in the blink of an eye he finds himself in a different place and a different body. At first he just thought that he somehow fell asleep due to overwork and is dreaming of transmigrating.

Looking at his reflection in a puddle of water he realized he was a kid not more than 5-6yrs old with a horrible appearance due to severe malnutrition. His face was covered with dirt and mud ,sunken eyes due to lack of sleep, skinny hands with visible bones. He himself got scared of his own reflection due to the suddenness of the situation.

He was just a normal person with above average talent in business , so all this was really hard to believe for him, so he just thought of this as bad dream. But all his delusions came to an end when even after waiting for a long time he didn't woke up adding to that the miserable condition of his body he was forced to accept that this was not a dream and the harsh reality .

Putting aside all his thoughts he decided to search for food as his terrible condition doesn't allow him to stay hungry or else he will drop dead any moment. He went out of the alley he was in and looked around for the first time the place he transmigrated to. The place looked like a european village with wooden houses and shops , the streets were busy since it was still midday. He came out of the alley and looked at the many houses and people with outfits unfamiliar to him ,one thing was for sure that he was not in his world and this was a world where magic seems to exist as he could see many people using magic or whatever it might be called here for their daily purposes. Some were using it to water their plants , or to dry their laundry and many more.

This discovery brought tremendous excitement to him as who doesn't at least once in their lifetime want to use magic even the basic ones , he even forgot about his condition due to his excitement and was daydreaming .

"Hey, you fucking beggar! what the hell are you looking at!?"

He was brought out of his stupor by scolding of the old man from the bakery shop who he was staring at.

"I-i'm terribly sorry!"

That's all he could say before trying to running as he saw the shopkeeper bring out a cane to shoo him away, but reality is often not what we expect , his frail body couldn't compare to the shopkeeper who managed to hit him with the cane.

"Fucking bastard, you trying to steal my bread!"

The shopkeeper kept beating the boy while hurling curses at him it was obvious he had a bad day and was now taking it out on the innocent boy just cause he looked like a beggar. The nearby people just treated as an everyday occurence as the shopkeepers temper was well known in the small town and nobody cares about a half-dead kid .The boy couldn't even protest and could only groan in pain before being thrown into the alley again by the shopkeeper. It was a long time later he was finally able to get up ignoring the terrible pain and aching in his body . All the excitement he previously had was gone and was replaced with despair and fear . He was from a different world and even though beggars were there too but no one would just beat them for just blowing some steam.

Forget about magic he doesn't even know if he will be alive tomorrow or die from hunger. He had to get food and from the peoples reaction he can't just go ask for it so he decided to steal.

He hid in the alley and was looking for a chance to snatch a bread which are out in presentation, maybe finally luck was on his side that a cat which seem to have the same intention as him jumped to the stall and took a loaf of bread.

"Hey! Come back here!" The shopkeeper was obviously angry and started chasing the cat.

"Chance!" The boy not wasting a moment ran to the shop and took what he could while the shopkeeper was still after the cat.

"Thief! Thief! " He didn't even have time to celebrate as a nosy fat lady who he somehow didn't notice before even with her size which could be compared with a miniature planet and a mean look on her face , she was the wife of the shopkeeper.

The boy visibly panicked on being caught and ran as his life depended on it and somehow managed to get way. He saw another alleyway to hide and without much thought went in , but obviously luck was not with him and he tripped on the garbage littered around , and fell face first on the ground.

"Damn! That hurts." The boy cursed at his luck as he stood up from the ground.

"Huh? Where is the bread?" He then saw the fruit of his labour lying in a pile of dog shit. The boy went silent at this , He picked up the bread not minding the stains on it and sat on the corner just staring at the bread in his hands with dim eyes , thinking about the events of the day.

He was just a normal office worker without much tension in his life , supporting parents ,enough money to live comfortably , he wasn't in any relationships but with his looks it wasn't hard to get one . All in all he was a successful person without much difficulties in his life. But all was gone now , he didn't know where he was , no one to support him , in a weak body with god knows what underlying disease , magic exists but if he had it or not , and now the only piece of food he has is now covered in dog shit.

A single tear rolled down his cheek and starting that as if a dam was burst open , he couldn't control himself wept his eyes out as if trying to release all the frustration he felt today .

"I want to go home." That was his last thought before losing consciousness.
