When I came to consciousness. I was laying down on my back on a very fluffy surface. My limbs were sinking deep into it. I have never slept on such a comfortable bed. I slowly opened my eyes. Above me on the ceiling was a rotating object with three blades. Even though I have never seen these things, somehow I knew that it is called a fan that circulates air.

I glanced around the room and saw many astonishingly new yet familiar things. Even my thoughts were in a completely new language. It was an extremely strange feeling.

The clothes I wore were relatively plain-looking. My first expression of the human body was primitive. Soft skin, no claws, blunt teeth and absolutely no reserve of mana.

Let's assess the information about myself from the memory the stupid goddess put in my mind.

My name is Asura Singh, a 16-year-old boy living in the Thane district, in the country of India. The father died 11 months ago in a car accident. The mother, a housewife, started working multiple jobs to run the house and support her son's education which is me.

Recently graduated from 10th std. In a week I will start attending college which particularly prepares students for the entrance exam called NEAT. The exam I am supposed to pass.

I wandered around the house, but it seemed like the mother wasn't at home. I randomly roamed around the house checking various appliances like the television, mobile phone, washing machine and refrigerator. In the refrigerator, a note was kept next to some covered food.

The note said, "I will be late due to work so don't wait for me. Eat till your tummy is full. There's plenty of it for you. I made your favourite chicken biryani (which had a smiley emoji drawn next to it)."

After eating the food, I laid down on my bed. What a peaceful planet. How can anything in this world be more difficult compared to the demon realm? You can sleep with no fear of getting killed. I wish that the demon realm will someday become like this.

I woke up to the sound of the front door opening. It seems that I dozed off. There was complete darkness in the room. It was almost midnight. The lights of the living room were switched on. I quickly got up from the bed and peeked from behind the door.

A woman was in the living room. She had a slim figure and pale-looking skin. Probably in her late 30's. Her light brown hair was tied with a rubber band into the shape of a bun. With few strands of hair descending in front of her shoulders. It seems that she is the mother.

She had a plastic bag in her hands. She washed her hands and placed a small mat on the floor. She sat down, pulled out some cheap-looking fast food with poor packaging from the bag and started eating.

Is she eating that for dinner? Did she keep all the cooked food for me?

She quickly finished eating and after washing her hands, she stepped towards my room.

Did she notice me? I panicked and rushed to the bed. I closed my eyes shut and pretended to sleep.

She entered the room and stood next to the bed. She waved her hand over my head. I could feel her fingers passing in between my hair. I felt a soft peck on my cheeks.

Did she just kiss me?

She left with steady steps, trying not to make any noise.

I was confused. Why would give me good food and eat unhealthy food herself? It doesn't make sense.

I wonder if this is what they call 'Mother's love'.

Dying. Talking to the goddess. Everything felt like a dream. A demon giving an entrance exam, huh? Sounds weird.
