Jayden woke up as he had for the past ten years, but today was a different day for him. The reason behind that was simple, he remembered the past. He remembered who he was in his past life, but that was not the reason why his mood was off.
"I am really in the Star Wars universe, huh. That being whoever she was, she kept all her promises. I didn't truly believe back then. I know that everything has a price, but she never demanded anything from me, but I think I know what the price is".
"I remember seeing Count Dooku, a few years ago by chance, and he was not young. So, this should be closer to the Clone Wars. The price should be that I need to save the galaxy from the upcoming crisis, but how?"
"No one would believe a youngling's words. The Republic Senate is deeply corrupted to its core, and the Jedi, either they are corrupt or arrogant, think nothing can beat them. There are a few who are truly humble and would heed my words, but they are so few".
"If I start to rant about the upcoming crisis or about the Sith, then not only would I be discarded by the Jedi, but the Sith would also be on my back. They would definitely end me. So, it's best not to get into their eyes and act like a typical Jedi".
"First, I need a plan to survive the upcoming crisis and maybe change whatever happens. For my sake, I need to stop the rise of the Empire. If that appears too impossible to achieve, then I have to save as many as I can, before we have the strength to overthrow the empire".
"Second, to do anything, I need a lot of money. Without money, nothing can be done, but I am just a youngling, which means that I won't be able to leave the temple. So, I can't do much".
"Hmm, no matter the world, people love stories. I can publish a few, and the royalties would help start the plan, well, the plan I need to think about later on. If I remember correctly, there is no platform like Webnovel or any such thing here".
"There are platforms where one can publish their stories, but it was only for a full story, not episodes. Maybe I should start one. It would be good business. Moreover, it is not a business that the Jedi order would frown on anyway, even if it were to be known".
Jayden thought of a way to get his first income. The Jedi don't pay younglings, as everything is already free. Only when they start to take on missions would they get paid anything, but that would not be much in the first place.
Most of the earnings from a mission would be taken away by the Jedi Temple, which would leave very little for the Jedi who completed the mission.
So, if he wants to change, he needs to find a source of income. Otherwise, he would not be able to reach any of his objectives.

"Before all that, I need to find out when I am exactly or close to. Even though I have seen Dooku, I don't know if he was still with the Jedi or not. There is no news, but I am a youngling and I can't know every piece of news", Jayden thought to himself.
He immediately went to the library hall and started to check the recent events first.
"Hmm, there was no mention of Naboo and the Trade Federation conflict. The conflict should be either ongoing at the moment, or it has yet to happen. There is another chance, a different event may happen. I mean, with my presence, it can be concluded that it is an AU Star Wars, not the Original One, or is it the original one, where I would actually die?"
"Hmm, that is a question worth checking out later. Before that, Naboo, I remember that I come from Naboo, it seems. Heh, what a twist. The same world as the future Emperor of the galaxy and future wife of the chosen one".
"Ah, I forgot that. Too much information in a night has overloaded my brain. I can check who the ruler of Naboo is. If she is the Queen, then the crisis of Naboo is about to happen or is happening at the moment. Let's check the info".
Jayden immediately started to check the details regarding Naboo, but he didn't directly check about Naboo. He feared that if he checked only this, then someone might become suspicious of him, after the crisis, if they check the search records.
Though he was from Naboo, that timely check may raise suspicion, and if they did any mind tricks on him, he wasn't sure that his mind was fortified enough against such tricks.
So, he randomly checked the rulers of different worlds, one by one, and in the middle, he checked about Naboo.
"Huh, the queen is not on the throne yet, but there are articles about a young girl leading movements against the current king. So, there is still time for that and the one that comes later on".
"I may not be of use in the upcoming Naboo crisis, but I can use that, and since I am from Naboo, I can easily establish myself as a force there and can spread out with Naboo as the base", Jayden slowly started to form a plan.
In a galaxy with scheming, corrupt and Sith politicians, he can't do anything that can reverse the destined event.
He knew that he couldn't change the Fall of the Jedi Order. Though Jayden was not a True Fan of Star Wars, he knew a lot about it and watched all the movies and most of the TV series, both live and animated.
"The Republic has become too corrupt to the point where only the rich are right. The Jedi who are supposed to serve the force, serve the galaxy, became dogs of the senate. If the senate was good, then it might have been a great thing, but the senate was too corrupt".
"Both the Republic and the Jedi Order of the present have to go", Jayden thought to himself.
On that front, he was not going to do anything. Even if he wanted to, doing things like that would attract the Sith towards him. He is still a weak boy, a youngling. They could eliminate him with the snap of their fingers.
What he was planning to save was not the Republic nor the Jedi Order.
"I want to save the galaxy from the torment that it would have to face. If that plan fails, I need a backup plan to save the kids", Jayden muttered to himself.
He can live with the deaths of the adults, who made their choices of serving the corrupt without questioning, but he can't live on if he lets the kids die.
He wants to save every child, but he knows that is impossible. How many he can depends on how well his plan goes, on how well of a plan he can concoct in the first place.
