Chapter 0 the end
[William]: “Where I am”
William woke up, with a lot of pain in his head, everything was seems to be blurry.
[Butler]: “Master William you have finally wake up, I was getting so worry that you did not wake up no matter how many times I call you”.
The boy in the bed could remember his now own name to be William, but for some reason someone was calling him with an unfamiliar “Master”, turning his head a around he could see a very old man to his knees beside his bed, holding the sheets of the bed very tight with his both hands, the face of the man was full of sorrow and relief at the same.
[William]: “I am ok now Alfred, you can go now, thanks for watching over me, please tell Maria to bring me some water”.
“Alfred that was the Butler name, but why I know his name” William thought to himself, even weirder, that exchange just now felt very familiar to him, but at the same time William was feeling that everything felt so distant and unrelated to him right now, something felt out of place, but the thumbing pain in his head did not allow him to focus.
Alfred after seeing the young master was doing fine, he did what he was told and left the room, he could let a sigh now, after being hit in the head, the Young master was brought back to the house bleeding a lot from his wound in his head and did not wake up after 4 hours, to Alfred, if William did not wake up, it would be his head that would roll to the ground as the head butler of the house. Even now he head was not in a safe position, if William get some kind permanent damage, like the thinnest of visible scar, he was sure his punishment would be very harsh.
Probably all the servants in the household would be fire or worse they would be thrown into jail where they surely meet their end, if something serious were to happen to the young master, Alfred only hope was to this matter never to be presented to the Lord of the house, the father of William, but how it couldn’t, he himself would have to silent all the servant’s in the house, but if they found out he was lying, it would be worse, Alfred could only give up and pray for his luck, ignoring completely that the young has just said “thanks’” to him, Alfred was so afraid of what would happen to him that he did took notice of this.
Soon after Alfred left the room, a young maid, not older than fifteen or seventeen year old entered William room, carry a silver platter, with a glass full of translucent waster, that looked very cold, the maid even if was dressed in an old fashioned maid outfit, still walked with an elegant posture, her skin of cinnamon color matched her, red eyes and black hair, as she has a radiant young aura while she presented the glass of water to the young master without the slight mistake.

Behind the glass of water was a face full of worry, but not about her own wellbeing but Williams, she was the personal maid of the young master, she was in charge of taking care of him every need 24/7, but because she has lost sight of the young master for a little while, a tragic accident has occurred when he was outsight, the master has always run off by himself other times but nothing bad has ever happen to him, no one was such a fool to even lay their hands in him, if not for Maria lighting reflects and excellent skills at healing maybe William would had die on the spot.
[William]: “Thank you Maria, that would be all, you can go now”
Maria was displeased with this order, she wanted to stay beside William, but she could not disobey him, so she bow very deeply as she said.
[Maria]: “I will be just outside of your room if you need me young master”.
As Maria was exiting the room she realized something was off, “did the young master just said thanks?” unlike Alfred, she knew better far better the young master, so she was the first to notice something different about the young master and she left the room.
William in the other hand was felling refreshed, the water that Maria has brought him, was not just waster, it was like healing water, calming the pain in his head with every sip.
[William]: “That’s right, my name is truly William but why I feel I am forgetting something, and why I know the names of those people”
In true, William was feeling this was his first meeting with Alfred and Maria, but that make everything even more strangely to him to know their names so well.
[William]: “Let’s see, what is the last thing I can remember?”
Closing his eyes William started to focus in the last things he could remember.
[William]: “It was last night and I was doing some Christmas shopping, “twin love” was just released, after waiting in line for 8 hours I got my two copies, and I was going back home, when… a light hit me…. wait it couldn’t… be”
Everything was very clear to William now as he jumped of his bed he was sitting, now sweeting, those lights were from a car, because he was carrying so many bags of his impulsive shopping, and the street was very crowed of people, someone has bump into him and made him lost his balance just when a car was passing by, the last thing he saw was a pair of lights.
[William]: “That means… I should had die, but then why I am still alive”.
This was very puzzling to him, how did he survived, he should be dead, or at least in a hospital, looking over the room, William soon enough found a big mirror where he could see all his body, he was afraid of what would be reflected in it, he knew he body was not right, it felt to weird, something horrible should have happened to his body, but in the end it was something he has to see for himself, after positioning himself in front of the mirror and opening his eyes.
What was reflected back was a young boy of 5 years old, with short golden hair, blue eyes and white skin, just like a tiny version of a prince he has saw in many the televisions show in the past, William did not believe that was him at the beginning but as he moved his body and did faces, the mirror followed after his every move, he did this until he could only be convinced that the young boy was him, and because if someone enters and watch him doing weird faces in front of the mirror would be too embarrassing for him to bear.
William himself was a 30 year old loner that live by himself and worked in the tech industry, he has read a lot of web novels, where this kind of things were very common.
[William]: “I die and then I reincarnated in a 5 year old boy”
