It was around 9 P.M.Both Ravi and his assistant Rickie was at the lab. Rickie was checking the machine and setting the programs on the computer while Ravi was wearing his experiment suit for the dive into the Time Capsule. Before entering the capsule Ravi asked something,
"After I cross the dimension, what will you do with this Time Capsule?"
"I don't know, what is your wish?" Rickie replied.
"Well, I know that if you introduce this machine to the whole world you can gain fame and wealth but there is also a risk. You'll have to face extreme controversy about how you made it and what theory you applied, which can lead you to serious troubles in life. So, it will be my advice if you could dismantle or destroy the machine or if you want to preserve it as a memento it's your choice. If you want to do, either way, you've got to do at your own risk."
"Don't worry, Boss. I will take care of it."
"Okay, then. Let's get this start with..." saying that Ravi entered the capsule and Rickie got ready to start the machine. Rickie gestured Ravi showing 3 fingers for the countdown,
3...

"Go..." saying that Rickie pressed the activation button on the computer. As soon as he pressed the button, the capsule started to produce sparks of the electricity that went and out from Ravi's body. After a few seconds, his mind went blank.
Two men were fighting against 4 rough-looking men who looked like thieves or bandits in a dense forest. There is a horse carriage but the horses were missing. There were 3 dead bodies that belonged to the bandit team. The earlier men both equipped with full-body metal armor and a sharpened sword. They were guarding a 12-year-old boy who was unconsciously being hurt at the head and was lying near a tree. Though, being outnumbered the guards were pushing the bandits because not only they were poorly equipped but also less skilled than the two guards. It is only a matter of time that the guards subdued the bandits. It was then the lying boy regained his consciousness.
"Where is this place? Is this a forest?"
The young boy rolled his eyes and looked around but what he saw he couldn't believe his eyes.
'Where the hell am I? Those fighting men, these dead bodies, this dense looking forest, is this a film shooting or what? I believe, I never been to a film set before. What happened here?'
He tried to remember and something unknown to him flashed in his memory. There were two men wearing metal armor was talking to someone that he can't see sitting in a wooden carriage. They were passing through a forest and all of a sudden some men attacked them. As they attacked the carriage it turned over to the left side and the one whose memory he was seeing was badly hurt in the head. After a while, the scene went blank.
As the scene disappeared the young boy screamed in pain,
"Ugh...Why is my head hurting so much?" after shrieking for a while in pain he again lost his consciousness.
'Is this my dorm in varsity? But isn't this room a bit too big and what's with those fancy looking tables and chairs, those drawings and those dresses.' Ravi thought himself seeing those stuffs and furnitures and waking up for the second time. As he was admiring the artistic value of those fancy stuffs a girl came into the room.
"Arthur, you are awake!!! How are you feeling? Does your head still hurts?" The girl asked.
Ravi can understand that the language the girl just spoke right now wasn't English or any other that he knows but somehow he could understand it. But, there was this terrible pain when he listened to the girl. It seemed like he also could reply to her but the pain is killing him right now.
"Excuse me, young girl. My name is not Arthur, it's Ravi."
"What!!!! Is your brain really that much damaged? Did you forget your identity, who you are?
"Mom....mommmm.Look what happened to Arthur." The girl went outside of the room shouting.
Ravi was baffled at that girl's behavior. He was lying on a comfy bed and his body was covered by a blanket. He put aside the blanket and what he saw completely shocked him.
'What the hell!!! This isn't me. Even if I came back to 25 years in the past, this isn't me. Am I someone else's body right now?' Ravi's face grimaced.
He didn't set a time limiter this time, he can't go back, so he has to live in this body. This error happened because he didn't pay attention to the ratio of dissimilarities between two parallel worlds.
He got up from the bed and looked outside from the window. What he saw was, many single or two-storied houses, horses pulling the carriages, people wearing dresses that he never has seen before. Looking at all this, he deduced that it was the medieval era.
'Have I crossed 1000 years into the past or what!!!' He thought putting his both hand on the two sides of his head.
He again checked the room and found a mirror on the table. He looked into the mirror and found a 12/13-year-old boy's innocent face. He had blue eyes, a plump cheeks, a set of beautiful teeth, silky smooth hair. He then glanced at his body. He had milky white skin and a chubby build-up body. He deduced that his height would be around 5'4" feet. He had a perfect body though it is a little bit chubby. The girl that visited him a while ago, she had also the same feature as him. A tall figure, milky white skin, blue eyes, silky brownish long hair. She was slim but her body proportion was well maintained that anyone would call her a proper lady.
'Then, she might be my big sis!!!'
Then he tried to remember his family members. Three people's image flashed in his mind, it was his mom, dad, and his sister. But with this memory, a burning pain spread throughout his head. He went to the bed and lied down. Then Ravi thought,
'He has such a loving family. Is it okay for me to take his place instead? He hasn't even lived for 15 years. If his family members find out that I took over this boy's mind or consciousness won't they kill me or kick out of the house?' Suddenly he felt so guilty even when he broke his friend's leg for money in childhood, he didn't feel any ounce of guiltiness.
"Bang"
A middle-aged woman suddenly entered the room followed by the young girl that previously came here. The woman hurriedly came to Ravi who was lying down and sat on his bed beside him. She had a worried face.
"Arthur, Dear. Are you alright?"
"Yes, mom. I am fine, you can see. But my memory is a bit jumbled, so remembering something really hurts my head very much." Ravi replied in an innocent face.
"Don't worry, Dear. Your father has called for the best healer from the Dyfed City. With his single healing spell, you will healthy like you never before. So, don't worry, hmmm!!!"
'What...!!!
Healer !!!
Healing Spell !!!
That means this world has...'
" Magic !!! " Ravi said it loud.
