"Uncle.....Uncle...."

Max heard a very sweet and childish voice calling him. He tried to open his eyes but he couldn't, it felt like he was drowning. he tried to move his hands and caught something very tender. his desire to survive exploded suddenly, he opened his eyes.

First thing he saw after opening his eyes was the wooden ceiling. After seeing the wooden room, he went into a daze.

His mind was blank and he couldn't think about anything else.

he tried to focus his mind to think about his current situation but

"Uncle...Uncle..." He seemed to hear this childish voice again and it was coming from....behind?

He moved his head, he saw a 5-6 year old girl looking at him with big blue eyes and she seemed to be .. a little angry.

"Why am i seeing a kid in my dream? ahhh maybe because of the movie i watched last night, it was about kids" Max thought.

Before he could think about anything else, the girl seemed to lose her patience and pinched him on the cheek.

Max opened his eyes wide when he felt pain, he quickly sat up, only to be rooted to the spot. Now that he came out of daze, he gained his rationality and went over his current situation, And came to the conclusion that he transmigrated. If you are wondering how he came to that conclusion?

He seems to recall some memories belonging to current body, his name was Max and he was 18 years old. And the girl standing beside him is his niece. His big brother Sam and sister-in-law Tyla went missing after going inside the rain forest.

It's been 1 year since they went missing. Previous Owner was immature at that time

and how can a 17 year old boy face such a situation.

He went to the Mercenary guild to ask for help but how can those Mercenaries take him seriously, maybe if he had money then he could have hired a high rank Mercenary but that wasn't possible.

Both his brother and sister-in-law were Elite warriors, which isn't that powerful but they earned a decent amount of money while collecting medicine plants and other rare things from the Rain forest.

The Rain forest is in the east of the Origin City, but its only the outer layer of the Rain forest where Mercenaries are active, because the Rain forest is one of the most dangerous places in this world.

And how dangerous? Even the previous owner didn't know because he was always playing around on streets when his big brother was earning money.

His parents were killed by bandits when he was little. After that his big brother took all the responsibility of the family and tried very hard to raise him. He went on difficult tasks issued by the Mercenary guild just so he can send his little brother to academy.

His big brother and sister-in-law also met during one of his adventures. They both were lost in the Rain forest and tried hard to survive while depending on each other. And during those days they fell in love with each other.

His sister-in-law Tyla was also very good, she never found trouble with the previous owner. she didn't really hate previous Owner but Previous owner always thought

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

Opposite.

until one day when he was being chased by some bad people in the street due to some misunderstanding caused by his playful nature and very irresponsible attitude. She saw him running in panic, and without thinking about consequences she confronted those people to save him, in the end she had to pay a lot of money to those people.

She didn't tell his big brother about this incident or he would have beaten till there was no tomorrow. But she did lecture him about his irresponsible behavior.

After this incident Previous owner started treating her as real elder sister. So when they both went missing previous owner was very sad for many days and he had to take care of my 4 year old niece. He has never been responsible in his life but now suddenly he had to face the whole world alone while trying to raise a 4 year old kid.

He tried to do all kinds of jobs in the last one year but it was never enough to have a decent life in this city.

Origin city is a very new city with very few opportunities for the weak. It was established 20 years ago, when all kingdoms signed peace treaties and stopped war. And if you want to know about the reason behind the war and why it was stopped then you can't expect the previous owner to know about those things.

Last week he was going through tasks issued by the Mercenary Guild, he saw an image of a grass in one of tasks issued. He would never remember it if it wasn't for the high reward of 10 gold coins.

When he went into the forest to collect some medicinal plants, he came across the same type of grass as was issued on the task. He was so excited that he forgot to take any safety measures and directly plucked the grass.

At the same time he was bitten by some mosquito but he never paid attention to it in excitement. He directly went to the Mercenary Guild to get reward.

After getting all the gold coins, he first bought a small wooden shack in a corner of the city. It was cheap because the last owner wanted to sell it in a hurry. So the previous owner bought it for 7 gold coins. There was no one living beside it.

After getting the wooden shack he and his niece shifted their luggage to their new home. But during the shift the previous owner started to feel weak and dizzy. After shifting he directly went to sleep and passed away.

After that Max transmigrated into his body, knowing that he had transmigrated into a new world he went into a daze.

Just when Max was thinking about all the memories which came flooding in his mind. Anna who was standing beside him was looking at him with strange eyes.

His uncle didn't wake up the whole day and they didn't eat anything Last evening. She was very hungry because she hadn't eaten anything since last night.

But when she came into uncle's room, She saw him sleeping. She was a little angry because her uncle was being lazy in the morning. But when he was acting strange even after waking up she was worried that Max was unwell.

So when Max looked towards her after being called, little girl looked at him with a little worry "what's wrong uncle? Are you feeling unwell?".

"I… I'm okay, Anna. Don't worry."

Clumsily, he stroked her hair with his hand, his voice a little hoarse.

Her smooth hair had a pleasant touch, and touched his heart—she was his niece and only remaining family! The subtle sense of uncle-niece bond was very fascinating.

"Okay. I'm glad you're okay." Rubbing Max's hand with her hair and slightly narrowing her eyes like a cute kitten, Anna pouted like a spoiled child. "But, Uncle, Anna is hungry. Make something good for me."

Max felt like his heart was going to be melted by her cuteness , but cooking was really a headache for him.

He never learned cooking, even in last life he could only make noodles with warm water.

He thought a bit and remembered that he had 3 gold coins remaining so he decided to go out and eat something cheap. And while doing that he will also look around this new city, which is familiar and yet unfamiliar to him.

As Max was going out with Anna, he suddenly stopped in his tracks. Max thought he heard a weird sound coming from nowhere. Wait, were they coming from his head?

Max already had a hunch what it was but he wanted to confirm it. He looked towards Anna and said "why don't you go and buy your favorite pancakes from aunt sally".

"Really? Anna loves pancakes!" Anna smiled in surprise immediately. Holding the two coins, she put on her shoes, and ran happily on her short legs towards the door.

Somehow, Max's heart ached a little as he watched Anna disappear at the door. Pancakes were made from coarse grain, and sold at one copper each. The last few years, they barely had enough to get by from Max's miscellaneous work at the guild, so pancakes were such a luxury that Max only bought one for Anna during festivals.

Anna was very good and smart, so even though she loved pancakes, she never asked for them herself.
