"Gasp!" Alan awoke with a start, his eyes darting back and forth. After a couple minutes of panicking, Alan forcefully calmed himself.
Now calm, Alan took in the room where he'd woken up, Plain wood walls, decorated with cheap looking paintings and posters.
To one side of the room sat a wardrobe, and to the other a wooden door. He figured the door led to the rest of the house he found himself in.
After looking over the entire room from top to bottom, Alan got up from the bed he was in.
First he checked the wardrobe, and seeing the plain clothes, belonging to someone who all though poor wasn't in extremely dire straights, took out a fresh pair to change into.
Alan huffed, before making his way out of the room and into the hall beyond. Looking from left to right Alan found that to his left were a set of stairs, and to his right was a closed door next to his and on the opposite wall were 2 other closed doors.
From the memories floating around in his head this body also named Alan along with his 10 year old sister was living in this 2 story house left behind by their parents.
Said parents had been killed on a mission to raise their ranks from low-class to mid-class.
Alan grimaced, he'd sort out the class thing quite simply, it would seem the god who sent him here made sure that he had some sort of anchor to attach to.
Alan huffed but felt gratitude towards the situation.
Walking over to the 2nd door next to his 1, he gave the door a knock. "Lina, time to wake up, you have school!" Said Alan, who heard the sudden sounds of sheets shuffling and someone grumbling, then footsteps before the door opened to show a little girl around ten years old, with brown skin, golden eyes and black upper back length locks.
"Good morning, big brother alan!" Was lina's tired reply, as she wiped the sleep from her eyes.
Alan huffed before turning to head down stairs. "Go and take a bath. I'll get breakfast ready!" He said over his shoulder, as he headed down said stairs.
Lina just hummed as a reply, before heading back into her room to grab fresh clothes.

Alan made his way into the kitchen, opening the fridge to find a carton of devil hen eggs, and some slices of meat, taken from a specific animal bread in the underworld for consumption.
Lighting the stove and placing a freshly washed pan onto the flame, alan spread a dollop of butter onto the pan, allowing said butter to melt.
Alan released a yawn, before reaching for the eggs.
Crack!
Alan cracked 6 eggs into the pan, he then turned the heat down to stop the eggs from over cooking or sticking to the pan.
After a minute or so alan split the 6 eggs into 3 and placing them onto 2 different plates. Next he sliced the meat in pinky width slices and then tossing said slices into the pan to fry.
Sizzle!
The sound of butter sizzling echoed in the kitchen, alan after a while sprinkled some dry herbs over the meat before Flipping over the meat to the cooked side allowing for the uncooked side to begin being cooked.
10 minutes later alan had breakfast placed onto a simple dining room table, he heard footsteps coming down the stairs and saw his little sister, wearing an all white school uniform with black accents.
"Eat, but make sure you dont dirty your uniform!" Said alan seriously.
Lina just huffed in indignation, mutter about stupid, bossy big brothers under her breath.
Alan just raised a brow, his hand reaching for the plate before her, but Lina wide eyed snatched up the plate while profusely apologizing. "Sorry big brother!"
Alan just huffed, giving his sister a blank look before gesturing to the plate she held.
"Hurry up and eat, or you'll be late for school!" He said simply before digging into his own breakfast.
...
...
...
5 minutes later alan stood by the front door of their house, waving goodbye to his little sister, who ran to catch up with 2 other girls who went to the same school as her.
Alan watched his little sister go, his eyes holding a complicated look, before he turned and headed back into the house, closing the door behind him.
