Chapter 1: Reincarnation

"$%§$%§, Noel. @"§!$%," the woman cooed, gently feeding me with a spoon.

I was disoriented and confused.

Who was this woman, and where am I?

What is she talking about?

As my eyes adjusted to the light, I finally saw her, a radiant beauty with golden hair and ocean-blue eyes.

I didn't know what she was talking about, but the woman still continued to put a spoon in my mouth. Hesitating, I ate the thing she was trying to feed me. My worries were unfounded, as it was delicious. I continued to eat the soup she was giving me.

"!"§$%" the woman said, while I looked around, trying to make sense of my surroundings. Catching a glimpse of myself in the mirror, I saw the woman holding a cute, blue-eyed baby with blonde hair.

Wait a minute, was that me?

I'm a baby?

Was this some sort of bizarre reincarnation or an isekai adventure?

Is this happening right now? The last thing I remembered was playing a MOBA game on my PC. Did I die while playing a game? Don't tell me I died cussing all of my shitty teammates? Damn, if I knew I was going to die, I should've insulted their entire family too.

There's no use dwelling on the past. I never liked my world anyway, so perhaps this could be considered a blessing in disguise. The real question now was what world I had reincarnated to.

As I looked around, the familiar sights of Earth greeted me, but the thought that came to mind was disappointing - this was just the same old boring planet. I didn't hate it, but the repetitive cycle of working and zoning out in class as the teacher droned on about subjects I'd never use in the future was draining.

With few genuine friends and most of them only reaching out to me when they needed something, I found it hard to connect with people. Sure, making acquaintances was easy, but cultivating true friendships took time and effort that most people weren't willing to invest.

For this reason, I preferred to immerse myself in my games and novels rather than waste time on fake relationships that would only drain my energy. In this life, I'll live my life to the fullest and make no regret.

I began to feel drowsy, and then suddenly my eyes blurred, and I fell into a deep sleep.

****

Upon opening my eyes, I discovered that I was lying in a bed. The throbbing sensation in my head intensified, causing me to instinctively reach for my forehead in an attempt to alleviate the pain. However, my feeble attempt proved futile.

Surprisingly, after a few seconds, the pain gradually subsided, diminishing until it eventually ceased altogether. I couldn't comprehend why such a sudden and intense headache had occurred, but I hastily concluded that it must be linked to my memories having been transferred into this unfamiliar body.

I shifted slightly but soon realized that I could hardly move my body. Then, I experienced a gentle and comforting sensation in my hand—an unfamiliar feeling that left me awe-struck. The whole experience felt surreal, as if it belonged to another realm. However, my reverie was abruptly shattered when I heard a soft moan beside me, jolting me back to reality.

A thought crossed my mind, prompting me to swiftly turn my gaze towards the source of the sound. To my surprise, I spotted the woman from earlier peacefully asleep. Her slumber was truly captivating. However, as my eyes moved downward, I noticed my tiny little hand inadvertently grasping her chest.

She had on this cute, simple white dress, and I couldn't help but notice how great her figure looked in it. The sight was so mesmerizing that I totally forgot that my hand was still resting on her chest. In a moment of realization, I quickly withdrew my hand and shifted my position to the other side.

As I settled in, I caught a glimpse of a baby who happened to be around the same height as me. She had this adorable golden-colored hair and her beautiful blue eyes were locked onto mine while she contently sucked on her left thumb.

Feeling a bit embarrassed by the accidental contact, I quickly redirected my attention away from the woman's chest and shifted my focus to the adorable baby.

Oh my goodness, she was incredibly cute! Unable to resist, I gently pinched her cheeks, and just as I did, she unexpectedly lifted the hand she was sucking on.

Suddenly, without warning...

Whack!

Ouch! My cheek stung from the impact, and to my surprise, there was a splash of saliva too. I couldn't help but think, "This little shit!" Despite her undeniable cuteness, she had a mischievous side that caught me off guard.

Thanks to this damn baby's action, the previously sleeping woman abruptly awakened. With her eyes still drowsy, she glanced in our direction and mumbled something I couldn't quite comprehend. Then, unexpectedly, a bluish glow emanated from her hand.

I noticed a white wooden cabinet positioned beside the bed, and atop it, there was a rectangular object. To my astonishment, the bluish hue flowed into that very object, and in an instant, a vibrant red light began to emanate from it.

The pattern of the glowing lights struck a chord of familiarity within me. Could it be? I couldn't help but wonder, "Is that a clock?"

4:24

I glanced at the clock and noticed that it displayed the time as 4:24. A sense of relief washed over me as I realized that such a high-tech clock existed in this world. It was a reassuring sign that the civilization here was on par with the modern world I came from.

Knowing this, I felt a wave of gratitude that I wouldn't have to endure living in a world without basic amenities like toilets and, most importantly, Internet. At least I could count on having internet here, right?

As the woman's eyes adjusted to the surroundings, her gaze shifted from the clock to the mischievous baby and me.

A moment of silence hung in the air, filled with curiosity and uncertainty. The woman's expression transformed from groggy confusion to a warm smile as she realized what had transpired. She extended her hand towards me and chuckled softly.

Once again, the woman uttered words in a language completely unfamiliar to me. I couldn't help but acknowledge that this language barrier was going to pose a significant challenge. It became clear to me that I would have to start from scratch and learn the language of this world. I couldn't help but think, "If your gonna reincarnate at least give me cheats."

Noticing the shift in my demeanor, the woman sensed my unease and drew me closer, cradling me in her arms. She began to hum a soothing melody, as if trying to calm my worries and reassure me.

As the woman's soothing melody filled the air, I couldn't help but feel a sense of comfort wash over me. Her nurturing embrace and the gentle rhythm of her humming conveyed a warmth and understanding that transcended language barriers. It was a tender moment of connection, assuring me that I wasn't alone in this unfamiliar world.
