Chapter 1 — "Between Two Skies"
The wind gently stirred the old poplar leaves spread across the fields of Kakheti.It was night — calm, as if the world itself had stopped breathing. Only faint voices could be heard from the yard of a small village house, and in its dark garden two lamp flames flickered softly.
Inside, where Sofia was giving birth, the air was hot and tense.The village healer woman was doing a dozen things at once — heating water, burning medicinal herbs, preparing a place for the newborn.David Natsvlishvili, a newly returned young soldier, stood by the door, nervously fidgeting with his fingers.
But Giorgi… Giorgi was already on the road.
A white emptiness, like salty water, swallowed everything.
Giorgi felt himself falling — not downward, but inward, as though he were descending into an invisible well inside his own heart.
"What… happened? I… died, didn't I?"
No voice answered.
Then a sound rose in the air — one of the softest he had ever heard:
"Reboot complete. The soul is preparing for a new life…"
In that moment, a light flickered in Giorgi's mind — not in his eyes, but deep within his consciousness.
"A… system?" — he thought, slightly frightened.
In front of him, a half-transparent window appeared:
💠 System Message"Preparation complete… New vessel: newborn infant""Soul integration: 100%"
Giorgi felt the space around him tighten.
Then, instead of blinding light, he suddenly heard clear voices:
— "Push, my child, just a little more!"— "David, bring the water!"— "Don't be afraid, everything is alright…"
And suddenly—
The world burst open.
Warm hands, a harsh light, his mother's exhale…
Giorgi's mind was still 24 years old, but his body — small, fragile, newborn.
Sofia sighed deeply. The healer woman smiled softly.
"He's healthy… a boy. A strong child."
David leaned forward carefully.Fear on his face gave way to a sudden warmth.
"Giorgi… he is Giorgi," he whispered, as if blessing the boy with the name.
The sound of the name echoed very clearly in Giorgi's mind — as if it belonged to him, yet from another life.
The room fell quiet again, and the system's voice returned:
💠 System Message"Reincarnation successful.""Orientation stage: infancy mode.""Functions — limited."
Giorgi could not process everything — the pain, the voices, the weakness of the body, the endless light…
But deep inside, somewhere in the core of his mind, a strange warmth formed:
"I'm here again. In Georgia. But… which Georgia?"
At that moment the healer woman announced loudly:
"Natsvlishvilis, may God strengthen you — it is the trembling winter of 1206… and a child born with such strength is a true blessing."
The date struck Giorgi like a storm.
"This is Queen Tamar's era… God… I was born in 12th–13th century Georgia…"
From far beyond the village came the distant howl of wolves.
In the wind, he felt the collision of an ancient world and a new one.
Wrapped in a clean, warm blanket, newborn Giorgi understood:
This was no accident.This was the beginning — a world where his knowledge, his mind, and his system… would become the start of something great.
And just as his mother lifted him to her chest, the system chimed again:
💠 System Message"Passive mission unlocked: 'Toward the Road of the Three Lands.'""You will grow, and when you meet Samizle — the system will awaken fully."
Only one thought circled in Giorgi's mind:
"This is my second life… and this time, I will write my own fate."
