Ethan awoke with a start, his heart pounding in his chest. The room around him was unfamiliar, and he quickly realized that he was no longer in the airplane. The memories of the explosion and the blinding light seemed like a distant dream, but he could still feel the lingering sensation of that fateful moment.
As he lay in the comfortable bed, he began to experience a flood of memories that were not his own. These were the memories of the young man whose body he now inhabited – Rio Thorne, the eldest son of a count in a world vastly different from Earth. A world where magic existed, and power struggles played out in the shadows.
Rio's new family was a complex one. His father, Count Victor Thorne, was a cunning and ruthless man, always scheming to maintain and expand his influence. His mother, Countess Isabella Thorne, was a kind-hearted woman who struggled to keep the family together in the face of her husband's machinations. Rio had two younger brothers, Nathaniel and Gabriel, both skilled swordsmen but with vastly different personalities. His sister, Eleanor, was a sweet and gentle girl, trying her best to navigate the family's complicated dynamics.
However, the most important aspect of Rio's new life was his innate magical talent – a rare gift that had not appeared in his family for generations. This talent made him a valuable asset to his father, who saw potential in harnessing this power for his own gain. But the original Rio was frail and weak, never quite living up to his father's expectations.

As Ethan's memories mingled with Rio's, he came to understand the young man's deepest desire: to study magic and escape the toxic environment of his family. It was a desire that Ethan Parker, with his passion for technology and innovation, could relate to all too well.
Determined to make the most of his second chance at life, Ethan – now Rio – decided to pursue this dream. He would learn magic, not for his father's benefit, but to forge his own path in this new world. With his newfound knowledge and determination, Rio was ready to face the challenges and dangers that awaited him in a world ruled by gods and powerful factions.
As Rio was laying in his bed, deep in thought about his new life, his door suddenly opened. Emily, his maid, entered the room, her eyes widening in shock and relief as she saw him awake.
"Young Master Rio! You're awake! I'm so glad you're alright. I was so worried about you!" she exclaimed, quickly bowing her head in respect.
"Thank you, Emily. I appreciate your concern," Rio replied, still processing the memories he had inherited from the original Rio.
Emily hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I must inform the Count and Countess of your awakening immediately, Young Master." With that, she quickly left the room, leaving Rio alone with his thoughts.
