NEW WORLD

When Alex opened his eyes, he found himself in a room that felt like a glimpse into an unknown world surrounded by a mystical atmosphere.

The walls were covered in ancient pictures trying to depict the stories of powerful beings who carved their history into the world and noble families who lived forever. The room had this warm light coming through fancy curtains, making everything look important.

The furniture was super fancy too, made from shiny dark wood with soft, regal fabrics. In one corner, there was a special bed for babies, all decorated with gold and silver symbols that seemed really important. The air smelled like old books, giving the room a sort of mysterious feeling.

In the midst of an ancient and confusing environment, Alex, bewildered and unsure, observed two individuals gazing at him with affection, treating him like the most precious entity in their world.

Feeling lost amid the ancient surroundings, Alex attempted to communicate with them but could only produce incomprehensible sounds, leaving him momentarily frightened.

Eager to understand the situation, he struggled to form coherent words, but the alien language evaded his comprehension.

Taking a calming breath, Alex examined his body, resembling that of a newborn baby. Judging by the expressions of the two people, he deduced that he was likely their child.

From Alex's curious viewpoint, his mother wore a flowing dress that reached the ground. The fabric seemed to have secret stories woven into it, with fancy patterns that Alex couldn't quite understand. The colors were rich and deep, matching the warm, golden glow of her eyes.

She looked like someone important, and her outfit had these special symbols that made Alex wonder about their meaning.

His father was in this fancy coat that looked like it came from a storybook. It had intricate designs that Alex found fascinating, even though he didn't know what they meant.

The coat seemed to carry the weight of something important, maybe a family tradition or a special role. With black hair framed a face that had a serious expression, making Alex think he must be someone really significant.

Overwhelmed by confusion, he decided not to disturb the serious discussion between the two individuals.

While Alex contemplated his peculiar situation, the two people engaged in a heated debate about what to name him. Austin insisted on "Max" with a determined expression, while Mary equally determinedly argued for "Alex."

As the parents stood their ground, Alex, still grappling with his newfound existence, observed their serious expressions and was thinking whether there is any problem.

In the midst of their discussion, an elderly man abruptly entered the room. Austin, upon seeing him, immediately bowed in respect, addressing him as " father-in-law."

Alex looked at the Oldman, who barged into the room, who carried an air of wisdom and authority. His white hair signified age and experience, while his golden eyes hinted at his connection with the woman who was likely to be his mother.

His sudden entrance disrupted the parental debate, introducing an additional layer of complexity.

In Alex's eyes, his parents looked like characters from an immortal tale, dressed in clothes that hinted at a world filled with mystery. The patterns and symbols on their outfits only fueled Alex's curiosity, making him feel like he was in the middle of an extraordinary adventure, even if he didn't quite understand it yet.

In a heartfelt moment, the wise old man nodded and gently cradled Alex, bestowing him with a look of deep affection. "From now on, your name will be Alex Obsidian," the Oldman declared, leaving no room for Alex's father to object.

Mary beamed with joy as the chosen name aligned with her thoughts. On the other hand, Austin, Alex's father, felt a tinge of disappointment but quickly embraced a cheerful expression, respecting the decision.

Wiston Emberveil, the Oldman, shifted his gaze between his daughter and son-in-law, speaking in a solemn tone. "The time has come for you to return to your family."

Austin, upon hearing this, wore a pained expression and promptly responded, "Father-in-law, while I hold great respect for you, I cannot return to a family that views their descendants as mere tools for power."

He recounted the harsh practices of his own family, where individuals were pitted against each other, and those deemed less talented were discarded to fend for themselves.

Wiston, faced with Austin's assertion, found himself speechless, silently contemplating the weight of his son-in-law's words.

The tension lingered until Wiston directed his attention to the newborn baby, Alex. "Even if you don't wish to return, it's not just about your desires. Consider Alex's future. Can you provide him with the best education and resources with the power you currently possess?" he asked in a solemn tone.

Austin, torn by conflicting emotions, struggled to articulate a response. Mary sensed the mounting tension between her husband and father, interjecting by gently taking Alex into her arms. "Let's discuss this later," she proposed, attempting to diffuse the immediate conflict.

With Mary's intervention, both Austin and Wiston eased their expressions, redirecting their focus to Alex. The newborn, though confused by the sudden exchange, felt an unusual chill in the air.

Alex was confused by the sudden interface which was giving him chills and even though the language was unknown, he was somehow able to comprehend it .

[ Scanning the unknown soul which barged into the world for abnormalities ]

The mystical world, perceiving him as a potential danger, began scrutinizing his soul. Unknown forces, like ancient eyes, were closely watching the newborn, searching for anything they deemed abnormal.

[ It is perceived as threat as the world is not able to comprehend the soul ]

[ Decided to destruct the soul ]

Alex didn't know what to say reading these words but he knew that he was going to die soon and remembered his past life parents and unknowingly tears started coming from his eyes.

He wanted to shout and scream as he was not able to understand just what was going on with his life.

Suddenly, as if hearing a silent call, Alex's real parents, divine beings with godly powers, intervened from the continent of gods.

They sensed the world's threat to their newborn son. With a swift and powerful presence, a celestial barrier surrounded the body of Alex.

The world itself seemed to pause, recognizing the divine authority of Alex's parents. The scrutiny ceased as the godly couple asserted their protective presence.

The unseen threat to Alex seemed to dissipate. Even though he couldn't comprehend the divine intervention, a sense of relief washed over him and he fell asleep blissfully.
