Chapter 1: I Woke Up One Day in a Different World

(Yawn...)

Alfredo Sean stretched his body as he slowly tried to get up from bed. When he opened his eyes, what greeted his field of view wasn't the apartment bedroom he lives in, but an unfamiliar bedroom he doesn't have recollection about. There are posters of anime looking pictures, a study table on one side of the room, cabinet closet, glass window, and small bed. As he looked around, waves of uneasiness flooded his being as he realized something strange is going on.

"Did someone kidnap me? No way..." He couldn't find any other reason for this occurrence.

He is an overworked corporate employee whose life revolved around working, working and more working. He is an introverted person and thus barely goes out on social occasions, had no friends except work colleagues and alumni acquaintances, most of which he isn't close with. His parents passed away in a car accident shortly after he got his work. Since then he focused his attention and life solely on office work.

His last recollection before waking up was that he was working on spreadsheets and several documents 2:00 AM in the morning, in the corporate building's office. It's almost a daily occurrence and is nothing unusual for him to work overtime everyday. He remembered he felt his chest aching at that time, he couldn't breathe, and there was no other office employee around. He passed out in the office, not knowing what happened next. Then he woke up in this bedroom.

As Alfredo tried hard to remember things, he suddenly felt a pang of intense headache assaulting his head.

"Argh..." He clutched his head and muffled groans couldn't help but escape out of his throat.

"Zedric? What's going on there? Hurry up and come down breakfast is ready." A voice of a middle-aged woman sounded from outside his room.

As waves of headache intensified second after second, unfamiliar memories started surfacing in Alfredo's mind. From childhood, to middle school and high school youthful memories, life of someone else played itself inside his head and made him completely understand his current predicament.

"This..." After a minute, the headache subsided, and he now had a clearer understanding of the situation.

He looked at the fair complexion of his skin, realizing that the body he has right now is no longer the same body that he lived with for 28 years, on Earth. Yes, he is occupying someone else's body, and he also happened to have access to the memories of the original owner of this body.

Zedric Luiz, 17 years old, Senior High School Year 1, an average student. What caught Alfredo's interest was that according to the memories, this place is no longer Earth. Yes, he crossed-over. This world is called Xivret Planet, a semi-technological, magical world. Yes, magic and mysterious power is the norm, and as a Senior High School Student, part of the curriculum was teaching magical arts to the students.

The original owner of the body was trying to cultivate a magical art that was taught to them at school, since it's the first week of the school year, and Senior High School is the start of cultivation of magical arts, as per curriculum of this world's Education System. Before that, previous school curriculum was focused on teaching foundational knowledge, liberal and academic education, as well as theoretical knowledge regarding the basics of magic and it's studies.

In the midst of attempting to cultivate, the original owner of this body successfully cultivated the magical art after several attempts throughout the week. But, last night, an unfortunate situation unfolded. The cultivation method was done inappropriately and hastily by the original Zedric, causing for magical energy to go out of control in his body, damaging his soul and causing him to lose his life. On the other hand, through an unknown stroke of luck, Alfredo, who passed away on Earth, his soul happened to have reincarnated in the body of Zedric.

Thus, he is now in the current situation. The middle-aged woman who called for him was Zedric's Mom, Sofia Luiz, a working mom. Zedric's Dad is away and works 24/7 as a bodyguard of an influential person. Both parents work hard to support Zedric's education.

Alfredo, as the new Zedric, now have to act normally and try to slowly assimilate and adapt to this new world and new life he woke up to.

"Well... It's pretty comprehensive."

Alfredo, now Zeldric, couldn't help but be amazed by the sudden turn of events.

"Zedric you'll be late for school, come down for breakfast already."

He can hear Zedric's Mom, which is now supposed to be his Mom as well since he occupied Zedric's body, calling out from downstairs.

"Yes Mom I'll be right there." He chose to respond in as normally as possible, hoping that Sofia Luiz won't notice the change in her son's condition.

The new Zedric Luiz tried to fix his appearance first in front of the body sized mirror in a corner of the room, before deciding to go downstairs to meet his mom.

As he went down and approached the table, he noticed his mom preparing the breakfast dishes.

"Hurry up and take a seat, you might get late for your morning class."

"Yes, mom."

The original Zedric was a quiet type youth so it wasn't difficult to copy his behavior. He just need to make sure that he doesn't raise unusual topics or strange questions. Keeping his silence while having breakfast would be the best course of action for now. After a few minutes, he was finally done eating. He brought his plate to the kitchen sink and left it there, as per the usual habit of the former Zedric according to the acquired memories.

"Mom I'll go upstairs to prepare."

"Yes, go ahead."

He went upstairs to take a bath and change to his school uniform. When he was done preparing he took his backpack and went downstairs.

"Mom, I'll go now."

"Yes, take care, and do you still have your weekly allowance?"

"Yes Mom, I'll take the bus in the intersection."

"Okay, have fun at school."

"Bye Mom! "

He then took his leave and exited their house. He walked for five minutes before reaching the bus stop. Luckily, a new bus was arriving, it will take him directly to the front gate of their school. He took the bus and braced himself for the upcoming classes.
