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.

The Oresteia (Modernized)
All three of the great Greek Tragedians have written plays about the bloody chain of murder and revenge within the royal family of Argos. Yet theirs is in fact not a story of tragedy, but rather one of redemption. As they move from darkness to light, from rage to self-governance, from primitive ritual to civilized institution, their spirit of struggle and regeneration becomes an everlasting song of celebration to be heard throughout the ages. Forming a discourse set against the emergence of Athenian democracy out of a period of chaos and destruction, the Orestian plays are compelling stories of the tensions between our obligations to our families and the laws that bind us together as a society. In the beginning, we witness how a king’s decision to sacrifice his daughter and turn the tide of war inflicts lasting damage on his family, culminating in a terrible act of retribution. In the aftermath of regicide, we behold how a son must set out to avenge his father’s death by committing a most egregious sin. In the end, the sinner is tormented by supernatural powers that can never be appeased, but ultimately finds redemption and ends the curse on his house once and for all. Woven through all of this is the story of a friendship so close that it elevates itself to brotherhood - Where the blood of the covenant is shown to be indeed thicker than the water of the womb. In this very brief twelve-chapter modern rendition of the Orestian plays, I have chosen to place my focus mainly on the lives of the characters Orestes and his best friend Pylades. The chapters, each around 2000-2500 words, are split up evenly between them in first-person narrative. I hope that you will come to enjoy reading this heartwarming story, but more importantly, that you see how the conflicts portrayed in the story, whether human or institutional, are still much very relevant to our societies today. Note on Sources: The details of this story is very loosely based on The Oresteia by Aeschylus. And I mean very loosely. Other sources that I referenced for detail and inspiration are Mythology by Edith Hamilton, Electra by Sophocles, and Iphigenia in Tauris by Euripides. You may also find that I have quoted some of these works, and others (such as Shelley's Ozymondaeus), without citations (average of 1-2 such quotes per chapter). I did this because I do not have the ability to describe certain scenes nearly as well as some of those writers. If you read a particularly beautiful piece of prose here, chances are it's probably stolen lol. Also, I wrote this during the summer between my high school senior year and my college freshmen year. It was the summer of 2020, and being quarantined apparently gets my creative side out lol.
