1 New life

Darkness, silence, warm feelings, he can't figure out where he was, but he liked the place. Time passes by and the boredom came to him. Weird feelings about an uncertain future and the loneliness that he is confronting. Trying to forget it, he focused his mind on the darkness and the spatial limits that its have. He loses the feeling of being and transforms in the feeling of the void, and again time passes by. Suddenly, the void sensation gets hit by a warm light that starting to reactivate all his memories and senses. He was being born

He opened his eyes, and the first thing he could see was a beautiful woman with snow-white hair, one gray eye, and another green one. She was crying but with a happy face, it was weird to him. She hugged him, it was a weak hug, but the warmth and love that she transmitted to him were huge and infinite. He feels loved and as an impulse, he hugged her back. She started crying stronger and then say:

Meteria: "Your name will be Bell Cranel, you have to grow strong and happy, remember, I will always love you and care you"

He already knew that she was his mother, when he born got all of his memories of his old world and the new one. And so, the fact of his mother's disease and near death, a tear dropped from Bell when he heard her, it was heartbroken. He did his best effort trying to his her cheek, and then he falls asleep, in her mother's arms.

When he woke up, he was in the arms of an old sleeping man. Noticing that his mother was already dead, he started crying. The old man woke up and comfort the baby, but didn't work. The loss of a mother is not that easy to solve, less when the baby has conscience and memories. The nervous old man started to what he does best, tale a hero story.

After a few phrases, he got the attention of the baby, who soon stopped his crying. The baby listened to the old man and was enjoying the story, he knew about this world and what will happen, but learn about the past and the heroes of ancient times was fun. He was sad about his mother but heard these stories calmed him down.

Six months have passed, Bell spent his time being a baby and learning about the world through listening to the old man's stories. This old man realized that the baby was special because of his unnatural intelligence, not long ago he gave his first steps and babbling. On the other hand, the kid remembered him to his parents, he has deep red eyes and snow-white hair.

Until now, Bell learned that they live as farmers in a little village somewhere in the world. All the habitants there were farmers or hunters, traders, bakers, among others. To Bell, all of this seems medieval, outdated, and people beat her own asses working for nothing. His old world was a million times more advanced, and one of his goals was to improve this one as the technology and materials he could obtain allows him.

Time passed by and his first birthday comes, at this time Bell knew how to read, walk, and even run. He doesn't know the old man's name, whenever he asks, he answered to be called grandpa. He likes to escape his grandpa's view and take walks around the village, talk to his neighbors and learn about the world from their stories, and flirt with young girls.

Although upset by the fact that his grandson escapes from his view, he always ends proud because of the ability to flirt of the kid, a few girls were already in love with him. He feels like all of his training through hero stories and picking girls in the dungeon was worthy.

In the evening, when they were eating cake for his birthday, Bell asked for his birthday present. His grandpa was stunned, they were farmers and don't have that much money, and he didn't think that Bell would ask for one.

Bell: "Grandpa, if you forgot it, then never mind, but I want to ask you something, and please answer me with the truth...."

Grandpa: "okay, you got me, I don't think that you would want a present.."

Bell: "well, I want to know who are you, where you came from, and how you met my mother"

Along the month since he masters to talk, he asked what happens with his mother, his father, and if he was his grandfather or someone who knew his parents...His grandpa answers all of those questions but never gave him more information about himself. So this is the time and opportunity.

Grandpa: "okay, it seems that I can't escape from your intrigue... My name is Zeus, I came from a place called heaven. And so, I'm a god, I had a Familia in the past and your father was part of it. Your mother was part of the Familia of my ex-wife, Hera. We had a good relationship, so our Familias worked together, and so your parents met and make you... are you happy now?"

Bell: "Thank you grandpa, I didn't know that you are a god, you didn't look like one... maybe the god of perverts haha "

And with that joke Zeus knock Bell's head, Bell still laughing asked another question.

Bell: "Hmmm.. and ... can you explain to me what is a Familia?... this is my final birthday request, I swear.."

Zeus: "Okay..okay... a Familia is formed when a god gave Falna to a person. Falna is the grace of a god given to someone, this allows him to recollect a thing called excelia. The excelia allows the adventurer to gather experience and become stronger and can be obtained by killing monsters, training, or facing up hard problems. On the other hand, the most important part of the definition of a Familia is gathering people that feel like part of one, a real family.

Bell understood what his grandpa means with Familia, in the end, is people that don't relate to each other, but they are family, they are friends. The first step of Bell's plan was reached, for his next birthday he also will have another annoying request for his grandpa.
