"Yo, forever loner... you look... like an old man..." I whispered, struggling to speak with my weakened body.
"Li-little shit, I’m already... sniff-sniff... married," Aryan murmured, tears rolling down his cheeks.
"Hehe... you look hilarious... while crying..."
He slowly moved toward and scoffed, wiping his tears.
"I’m not... sob-sob... crying! I just got so dirt... sob-sob... in my eyes."
"Uncle Raj, you woke up!" the little girl sitting beside exclaid.
"Inayat, introduce yourself to Uncle Raj," Aryan said, pulling himself together.
The little girl joined her hands in respect and announced in a cute, stuttering voice,
"Namaste, Uncle Raj. Inayat is Inayat, and she is four years old!"
"Is this little angel... really my niece?" I murmured with an uncontrollable smile. "She has inherited her cuteness from her uncle."
Aryan picked Inayat up in his arms and muttered with moistened eyes,
"What took you so long to wake up, brat!?"
"I didn’t get enough sleep due to college exams, so I accidentally slept a little longer," I replied sarcastically.
"Even now you’re cracking these la jokes!" Aryan sighed.
He extended his hand toward in a fist and said,
"Welco back, little shit!"
With so effort, I raised my hand, curled my fingers, and bumped my fist against his.
"It’s nice to et you again, geezer!"
"Little shit... geezer..." Inayat murmured, copying us.
"I will tell Mumma that Uncle Raj and Papa are using bad words!"
She pulled away from Aryan’s arms and ran outside the room.
My brother’s appearance had completely changed from what it was five years ago. Previously, he was skinny and slightly underweight, but now he seed lean and muscular. He had changed his brown hair from a buzz cut to a man bun and had grown a beard with an imposing curly moustache.
"What’s with your look?" I asked, pushing myself into a sitting position. "Have you started modelling as well?"
"Keep lying. You shouldn’t move—"
Clang!
Before he could finish his sentence, the sound of a plate falling echoed from the room’s entrance.
"Th-the patient has woken up from a coma?" a green-haired lady with large round spectacles gasped, dropping the plate of glucose and injection drips in shock.
"Guild Master!" the lady snapped. "How could you be so irresponsible!? Don’t you know you must call the doctor first when a coma patient suddenly regains consciousness!?"
"Oh, I’m sorry, Vedika. I was so excited that I forgot," Aryan replied, scratching his temple and averting his eyes.
His negligent reply only fueled the fury of the green-haired lady further.
Several veins appeared on her forehead as she threw Aryan out like trash, closed the room’s door, and turned her focus toward .
"Hello, Mr. Raj. I’m Vedika, the doctor personally assigned to take care of you. How are you feeling?" she asked in a gentle voice, her fiery expression doing a complete 180.
"Whoa! I’ve never seen my brother being treated like that since his business blood. This woman is like a lioness," I gulped inwardly before replying, "H-hello, Dr. Vedika. Thank you for taking care of . Except for sore muscles and bones, I don’t feel anything unusual."
"Hmm... hmm... sore muscles and bones..." she murmured, writing in a diary she pulled out of nowhere.
Her eyes glead with excitent as she asked,
"May I do a quick check-up on you?"
"Y-yeah, sure."
She tied her hair back into a ponytail, rolled up her sleeves, and moved closer, a wide smile tugging at her face.
"Hehehe~ I will beco the first doctor in the world to check up on a person who has awakened from Mana Overload!"

"What’s with this woman!? It’s my first ti seeing a woman on Earth with green hair like hers. At first, I thought she dyed it, but even her eyebrows and eyelashes are green. She seems more like an awakened woman from Vyoman.
But that can co later.
First, soone tell if what she’s doing is really considered a test!?"
She joined both my hands with hers, our fingers interlacing, and sat still with her eyes closed.
"Umm... excuse ? What kind of check-up—"
Suddenly, a green translucent energy radiated from her hands and began wrapping around my body, leaving utterly stunned.
"She is an Awakener!!!???" I exclaid inwardly.
"Did she also get teleported here from Vyoman? But why is she showing her powers to so openly? Don’t tell she’s going to use so kind of mory-erasing spell to make forget everything!"
While I was having all kinds of wild theories, she slowly opened her eyes, parted her hands, and said,
"There is nothing wrong with your body. The stiffness you’re feeling is because your body hasn’t moved for the past five years."
"Umm... excuse , Dr. Vedika, what was that green light just now?"
"It’s my mana, duh!"
"Mana?"
"Oh right, you were unconscious before the Day of Awakening, so you mustn’t be aware of it."
She leaned back in her chair, crossed her arms, and took the posture of soone about to tell a very long story.
"It might seem like a childish story to you, but what I’m about to tell you is completely true."
---
"This is all. You may call if you need anything," she said with a wink and exited the room, her hands in the pockets of her white coat.
The wild story she told left completely flabbergasted. If what she said was true, Earth had also turned into a magical world like Vyoman, and many people had beco Awakeners.
The strange part was that the Day of Awakening happened on the sa day I was teleported to Vyoman.
"Could this phenonon be related to sohow?" I thought inwardly. "I should confirm this fantasy story Vedika told with Aryan before coming to any conclusion."
"Vivi, show the status screen!"
"..."
"Vivi?"
"..."
A bead of sweat rolled down my temple, and my lips trembled in desperation as I called for Vivi again and again. I eventually stopped when there was no response even after calling dozens of tis.
"D-does that an Vivi doesn’t have access to this body? But won’t I just beco a regular person without Vivi? How will I—"
While I was having these thoughts, the door slid open and a soft, cracking voice called out,
"R-Raj?"
