Rebirth: King To Superstar Chapter 3

He slowly stood up and made his way towards the T.V screen before touching it. He immediately pulled it back due to the static while looking at it warily. A couple of seconds passed by before he reached out his hand once again and this time it was fine.
"Strange, So this T.V uses electricity? Like the rare thunder element back in the kingdom. But this is a very minor scale usage to run this device compared to those destructive spells." Murmuring to himself.
"This object is really awesome. I wish I can take this back to the kingdom. But, sigh I'm already dead. I wonder how little princess is keeping up." Getting nostalgic at the end.
Removing the hand from the T.V after a few more minutes of watching the news program running, he finally looked around to get a good look at the place he was in. Noticing the T.V he forgot everything else around him, only now did he get a clear view of everything.
He first noticed the small sofa enough for two people to sit comfortably right opposite to him. He continued to look around and saw many new gadgets he never saw as he slowly recollected all of their names and uses from Kim Joon-won's memories.
The house was very simple, one bedroom, one small living room with an equally small kitchen. The bedroom was just enough for a single bed and a wardrobe. The door led the people right into the living room and the kitchen was to the immediate right while the room was at the right top corner of the living room.
"From a royal palace spanning vastly across the land to a small place which is only a few feet around the whole house. I used to use horses to move around the royal garden. But now, sigh." Sighing to himself after completely analyzing the layout of the house.

"But this isn't bad either, my own small adobe without anyone disturbing me too much. I guess every place has its own plus points too. Just need to find and accept them wholeheartedly." Cheering himself as he stood in the living room.
He walked towards the small balcony at the end of the living room before opening the door. As he did, he suddenly coughed and closed the door. Looking outside there wasn't anything to make him cough but Zen Su thought otherwise.
"Oh my god. The air is so impure. It is comparing a beautiful flower to cow dung. I guess my old world is way better in at least one aspect compared to this world. Sigh, I need to get used to this." Calming himself for a second he couldn't help but lament about the amount of impurities he felt due to the sudden change in environment.
He opened the door once again and slowly took a few breaths to get used to the environment. Opening his eyes he looked out and saw the various buildings all around on the streets. He couldn't help but marvel at everything he saw as Kim Joon-won memories slowly filled in the doubts he got seeing them.
He looked down and saw numerous people walking by. But soon his eyes caught a car on the street and they instantly sparkled.
"This car is way better compared to the horses we use back at home. They are more efficient but seems like it has a huge disadvantage to it." Remembering that one of the main reasons for the impurities come from the vehicles he couldn't help but sigh once again, showing his old mentality in full display.
"Seems like my new world has so many things I'm yet to personally experience. This is indeed so much interesting compared to sitting on that large throne only to speak a few words when necessary and listen to endless praises. The world has so much yet to reveal and humans can discover so much more. A world without magic hope you don't disappoint me." With a smile on his face as he continued to observe the outside world for a few more minutes.

He went back inside after having his fill of the new world outside. Closing the door, Zen Su went right into the washroom and stood before the mirror to finally look at his new face.
"Hahaha, seems like I don't get the only thing I was proud of in my old life, my looks. I look so plain compared to my old self." He couldn't help but wryly laugh as he lamented his bad look.
Compared to the silky golden hair, good looks and chiselled body, his current look or rather Kim Joon-won's looks were very plain. Rather rough black hair with an above-average face. The only aspect which stood out was the eyes. The eyes were very mesmerizing enough to capture people's attention distracting it from his average face.
"What, this is considered above average in this world. This world has such low standards. A few of my royal guards look better than this. This body is also too skinny. Did this kid even eat three times a day before he died? Now that I took over this body things need to change. Even though I can't do anything about this face, the hair needs to be treated better, the body needs to gain weight." He felt shocked as he remembered a few more of Kim Joon-won's memories about his looks. He immediately started to decide the next steps he needed to take to get better.
He looked straight into his reflection and said to himself, "From this moment on Zen Su is dead. I am Kim Joon-won. Not a king but rather a student who studies how to act. How convenient is it that I came into a student who also wants to become an actor? I should take good care of this opportunity given to me." Making it resolute. He got a new life and wanted to make the best out of it. He needed to stop comparing this world to his old one and live normally in the present.

Ode to Fallen Angels
Jericho, the land of humanity, squirms in pain. Magic has been forbidden for so long in this so called "Age of Silence", that all Arcane knowledge has been presumed lost and irrecoverable, and the echoes of God's Will grow fainter with every passing year. The sight of Demihuman caravans is less frequent every day, as the likes of orcs and elves have learned to no longer beg for help from those who despise them. Clearly, they can expect more from the voracious wild lands than from humankind. Many have succumbed to despair, some driven mad by their fruitless efforts to bring back a Golden Age that they only ever read about in books. And in the middle of it all, in an old chapel lost in the Eastern lands, young Gabrielle lives in complete ignorance. She is another orphan living under the mercy of the Church of the Saints; one bearing the mark of evil in her red hair, the telltale sign of a Witch. In an Age of the Silent, the Prejudiced, and the Hateful, she clings to a single hope: that one day, be it in life or maybe after it all ends, she may find herself forgiven of her sin. The sin of being born.
