While Henry doing his job as a manager in his office, his useless boss Michel came to his office with an arrogant smirk plastered in his face "Henry today stuffs of our office will be honored for winning the contract by the high command, you definitely have to come "
Henry slowly lifted his head from computer and saw his shameless boss's smirked face and thinking really!
is it our stuff members will be honored! Or you will take credit and promotion of my team's hard work.
"I will try to come but don't mind If I am not able to" henry replied.
"You need not to worry about, I will take care about it" Michel said and left.
"Such a shameless man", Henry thought.
"How come such a credit thief becomes my boss, I really don't know" henry sighed. Henry looked his wrist watch and it's already late and time to go home.
While organizing his files, Henry heard some commotion outside his office room and he came out his office room to see what caused such disruption and saw an unknown man with mask holding rifle towards him.
"What do you want?" Henry asked with panicked voice and beads of sweat forming on his forehead and tried to see where his boss Michel is! And what he saw made his blood boil.
"I knew he is shameless but never knew that he is coward too – hiding behind reception table and pretending to be receptionist and not the actual boss. Now I understand why this man holding his gun towards me not towards my boss" Henry thought.
"Give me the key of the vault?" the masked man asked.
"I don't have the ke….." Henry don't have the moment to finish his sentence and the bullet pierced his heart and Henry fall on the ground motionless and tears running down from his eyes –
" so this is the end….I have so many dreams...alas…" Henry closed his eyes.
Henry opens his eyes and saw very old wooden ceiling and staring the ceiling for very long time "I thought I died in a gunshot by that masked man!?.....was I dreaming?" henry pinched himself to check
"Auch.. no, I am alive but I clearly remembered I was shot in front my coward boss. May be, I have been saved by my office colleagues. But I don't understand why am I not in hospital or in my own home , rather in this wooden old broken house?" henry thought.
Henry touched his heart to see if his wound is healed, but there is no wound in the heart rather flawless skin.
"what the fuck!!??" Henry almost shouted. Henry hurriedly gets up to check his body but he almost fell on his face, he somehow managed to stand up. Henry immediately understood that something is wrong with his body, his original skin color changed which is now more on fairer side, now he has muscle on his body. He never done workout in his whole life because he did not have any life outside office job.
His body felt more sturdier and younger like 20 years old and he also understood he is taller now but don't know how much. Henry is not stupid, he was strategist in his office, he immediately understood this body is not his own.
"Whose body is it??.... where am I?" Henry shouted loudly. Henry started looking at the wooden house more carefully and there is window beside the bed, henry came close to the window to see what the outside looked like?
There are children playing outside, trader shouting their products, wooden carts pulled by horses, dresses wore by men and women looks very aristocratic and unique style, Henry immediately understood he has been 'transmigrated' in the different world.
Henry is in full shock, he had read in novels that people transmigrated after sudden death but he never imagined the he will be the one.
"I need to go out and see if people recognize me or not. I also need to understand who was the real owner of this sturdy body? I must say that I like this new body and I never had this muscular and athletic body in my previous life" henry thought.
"Now that I have transmigrated into this world, shall I have magic or some kind of power? I don't know. First, I have to understand exactly where and what kind of world I have transmigrated ?"
Henry came outside the wooden building and which is on the side of the road and road is made up of broken boulder. He saw people are busy and this is close to a marketplace. Henry looking everywhere like a toddler and going along the road towards marketplace and scrutinizing and staring every person's face like a pervert but his actual objective is if someone recognizing him or not.
Henry reached marketplace which is full of life, traders enthusiastically shouting and selling their product to customers, people are eating in the restaurant like buildings.
"Henry, Henry, henry! why are you looking at my restaurant like you have never seen it?" Henry almost jumped at the shouting of his name.
Henry looked at the direction of the sound and saw an elderly woman looking at him like he is a fool. Elderly lady may be close to fifty age wise, hair has white shade, and face has motherly grace.
"Now you are staring at my face like you have seen ghost!! Are you ok child?" Elderly lady asked looking very concerned while furrowing brows.
Henry only smiled like fool, he does not know what to say. He does not want to give away his identity mistakenly that he is not the old Henry but he is internally happy that original owner has the same name as 'Henry' and now someone has recognized him, he has to use this into his advantage to understand what the situation is.
"Why are you smiling like a fool? Now come and eat something. I certainly know, you have not eaten anything". The elderly lady scolded Henry like a mother.
"I am not that hungry.." stomach started rumbling loudly making Henry embarrassed.
"O, I think we both got answer" elderly lady smiled at him and started walking to her house and Henry followed her obediently. Henry saw other people are also eating and the way they are savoring the food, no doubt definitely testy food.
Henry also came to know her name as "merry" everybody is praising her food by calling her name, he decided to call her 'aunt merry' and he also came to know name of the city as Nightfall city as city is close to Nightfall mountain. He sat on the nearby stool and aunt Merry served him food. He is almost in haven while eating and seeing Henry's facial expressing Merry feels satisfied.
Suddenly he remembers that he does not have any money with him and he does not even know old Henry had any money or not.
"Sorry aunt Merry, I don't have any coin to pay you" Henry felt embarrassed, after eating such delicious food Henry don't have anything pay for.
"How many time I told you that you don't have to pay for anything for food, you are like my son" Merry pretended to be angry. Henry became emotional because in his past life he grown up as orphan.
Henry hugged her and said good bye and he did not ask any single question how the world works here, or the how political system works here, or which city it is, because he did not want her to become sceptical towards him.
Henry came back to the wooden house and started thoroughly searching the house to find anything and after searching for almost half an hour he finds a two copper coins. He does not know what the actual value of copper is but he saw someone gave two bronze coins to aunt Merry as payment. Now he just needs find a bar house and find a drunk man and ask questions about this world's political system.
Suddenly Henry felt a headache and sat on the wooden bed. He suddenly saw an glowing interface in front of him-

Henry stared at the interface for a long time...
