Mordred's Rebirth

This story is kind of based on the Arthurian legend.

He was called many things.

The False King, The Traitor, Treacherous Knight.

Sir Mordred was a villain, one who according to the prophecy of the grand wizard Merlin, would destroy the kingdom of King Arthur Pendragon.

And he did but at the cost of his life.

As he lay dying on the bloodied ground of Camlann after the mighty clash between him and Arthur, a bloody tear fell down his face.

All he wanted was to be acknowledged by his father but all the things he did eventually led to disaster.

Now with death’s cold hands grasping him, he hoped for a short peace before the fiery rings of hell.

But that was not the end of his journey.

“Hold up.”

“What is that noise?” 

“Oh my goodness! It's driving me crazy! And it's not stopping!”

Mordred sprang awake, slamming his fist on the digital alarm clock on the nightstand.

'What in Merlin's Beard is happening!?', he thought when he realized something. Well, a lot of things.

First of all. How is he alive?

Second. What is a digital alarm?

That's when memories that didn't belong to him flooded his head. They felt familiar but everything was wrong.

How is Morgan Le Fay his sister? She was his aunt! And how is the wizard Merlin so young!

“Oh. I get it now”.

He, Sir Mordred has been reborn in the body of a different version of himself, in a modern and futuristic world where he is the youngest son of Arthur Pendragon. But even in this world, He is the hated son of the High King. 

"Now what?", Mordred realized that the world he is in now is different from his previous one, with the only familiar details being the names of the people he knew.

“Oh? Are you still reading?”

Mordred smiled, looking at the readers.

“Well, how about you join me on this new crazy journey in a crazy new world of heroes, villains, monsters, and even gods?”

“Are you ready?”
 
"Let's go!"

The story is loosely based on the Arthurian legend. I am only using the popular names but the plot is different. The story is purely fictional with a few things from the actual legend being incorporated along with some stuff from other popular works. The characters may have different personalities from the original ones from the legend. There will also be names that may seem quite familiar as well.
