2 Learning The Language

The man, after healing Aur's mother, tenderly came to him and took him in his arms.

"Just live your life my son unlike the one I lived... You must live your life to fullest whether you become a wizard or not," the man said.

Aur internally frowned when he heard this. "I first need to learn the language of this world," he thought.

He looked at his unconscious mother and thought, "My life is going to be a handful from now on."

Aur spent his days just remaining still while his mother fed him her milk and cared for him.

Although, as an adult man, he was always embarrassed by the disgusting smell emanating from himself from time to time, and he couldn't even feed himself as he needed to be fed. But eventually, Aur adapted to it after a few days in this new world.

…..

"Honey, look! our son can crawl!" Evelyn exclaimed with sparkly eyes as she watched Aur crawl on the ground.

Adam, who was cooking in the kitchen, had his eyes widen with excitement. He couldn't care less about the dishes he was preparing; he hurriedly ran to his wife's room to see Aur crawling.

His expression turned proud the moment he saw this, and he walked up to both of them.

"Our son is a genius, He walked in just two weeks." He put his hand on Evelyn's shoulder with some excitement.

Aur heaved a sigh of relief seeing this. "Looks like this is normal," he sighed. After all, he didn't want to be termed as a monster.

He spent his days in the loving embrace of his family, which truly warmed his heart. However, Aur still didn't forget his main goal right now: to learn the language of this world as quickly as possible.

….

"Aur, you should take care of the home while I am gone. Don't play around, got it?" Evelyn said in a harsh tone; however, her gaze was tender towards the one-year-old Aur.

"Yesh, muther," Aur said with a smile on his plump cheeks.

Hearing the cute voice of Aur as he tried to speak the words but pronounced the word wrong, Eveyln couldn't help but smile.

"My son is so cute…" She affectionately pinched Aur's plump cheeks.

Umu!

Evelyn happily walked out of the house, locking the door behind her.

She was proud of her child because he was a sensible and intelligent child, already starting to study.

Aur touched his red, plump cheeks and sighed.

"Does this woman think of me as a doll?"

"Oh well, at least she left me alone now." A small smile graced his lips as he went to the bedroom and saw the shelves stacked with books neatly.

From his knowledge, his father was a teacher, so he had a lot of books in his collection.

Aur looked at his body in the mirror beside the shelves. Although he was lean, his cheeks were very round, making him look fatter than he was. His skin was smooth, with his white hair and red eyes.

He went towards the book and started to read where he left off.

Aur learned the language of this world very quickly, as it was remarkably similar to English words. It was just pronounced slightly differently, which made it a bit challenging to understand.

But even the alphabets were pretty much the same with subtle changes. Aur could understand and learn it easily after trying for a month or so.

Although he wasn't the master of this language, it was no problem for him to form coherent words with no mistakes, but he didn't want to show too much.

It was already impressive for a one-year-old to speak an understandable language, even though human growth was faster in this world, it wasn't to an exaggerated amount.

And he was truly surprised when he felt his body grow in the last one year, even though the foods were nothing special. He could already walk properly, and that too was ordinary in this world.

Thinking of this, Aur sighed as he read the book.

He had previously thought he was in a magical world, and he was right.

From what he had learned, his father was a teacher while he was a tier-1 wizard, and his mother was a housewife and an apprentice wizard as well.

They were located in a small village in the kingdom of Roshar, which was known to have produced many famous wizards, with the neighbouring nations kingdom of Myra and the kingdom of Wine surrounding them. However, they were weaker than the kingdom of Roshar, both in territory and power.

Aur sighed as he closed his book.

Although he was quite curious about wizards, unfortunately, he was just a child around one year old, and there might be some other books related to it on the shelves that he couldn't find. He couldn't properly read other books as they were too complex for him to read, except for history and geography.

The language was simple, but his small brain couldn't handle intense thought. It was simply because he was still a year old, not even qualified to be a child.

But the history and geography book was surprisingly easy to read. That's the reason Aur has been using it to help learn this world's language, and with the help of his mother, it was relatively easy to do.

"Welp," he stretched his body as an addictive smile appeared on his face. "It's time to train," his face morphing to that of a drug addict.

In this world, the structure of the human body was different from his previous world. In his previous world, training at an early age might lead to growth defects or similar issues, but in this world, there was no such condition, which made Aur satisfied.

He knew this because his father was already encouraging him to train physically, so he happily complied as his father explained the human body anatomy a little when he was carried away with talking.

"My addiction for physical training will never go away," Aur thought as he positioned himself on the floor and started doing push-ups, training his body slowly but steadily.

Every time his chest lightly touched the floor, it gave him intense pleasure.
