1 Wait a second...
AAAAGHHH!!! No, don't pull my head! My whole body hurts!!!
You damn sick bastard!!!
FFvvvvvvccckkkk!!!!
That's the first thing I feel when I gain consciousness, I feel like I'm being pulled by an unknown force through a narrow space. I try to take a deep breath to ease my pain, but guess what? my lungs feel like it being burned down!
'Hurt! it hurts like hell! What kind of torture is this?!'
I tried to scream to asking for help and mercy, but the only sound I can make is just some gibberish.
I also try to open my eyes but all I can see are a blur, wow great! after all of that torturous experience now my eyes get cataract too?
What kind of grudge the world has to me?
'Seriously, what have I done in my life to deserve this kind of torture?'
Damn, I'm tired my eyelid feels heavy...
No! Must keep awake, don't give in to those torturers!
I must keep awake...
I must...
I...
I must sleep...
sleep...

*MC's Father POV*
"Are you Mister Victor?"
A man wearing surgeon outfit with glasses and mask attached on his face calling outside of a labor room in a hospital.
"Yes, i-it's me! me! I'm Victor, how's my wife and my son, doctor?"
I'm so nervous, today my wife is in the process of labor, she's giving birth to my first son. Will they be alright? they will, right? they should be!
I remember my mother's word 'To discern good news or bad news from a doctor, look at his or her face. If his face is placid or nervous, you have to control your temper and take a deep breath because usually, that is a sign of bad news...'
Slowly I'm looking at the doctor's face, hoping his expression is not placid nor he's nervous.
Ah! he's wearing a mask, mother hasn't said anything about how to discern doctor's expression through a mask.
"Mister Victor, I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
What? is that mean if a doctor wearing a mask he has both the good and bad news to you? I have to take note...
"P-Please, the good news first doctor."
Oh God, please... please let my wife and my baby be safe and sound!
"Okay, the good one first then... *ahem* Congratulations Mister Victor! your wife has safely given birth a healthy son. There's no mishap happened in the process, you can go inside and take a look at them soon."
Hearing the doctor's words, my heart leaping out in joy! Thank God, they're both safe...
Without further ado, I want to rush inside and hug both of my precious treasures. But, even before I take my second step the doctor block me with one of his hand.
"Mister Victor, I have to tell you the bad news before you come inside."
Right! there's still the bad news, what it is?
"The bad news is, you haven't cleared the administration fee. It should be around 50.000 berries, so you should completing the administration process soon." the doctor said with a flat face
Ah the money, remember that I take a sigh of relief. I only brought 100.000 Berry in my wallet which I borrowed from my cousin, thank God it's enough.
"Thanks for the reminder doctor, I'll do it later after I met with my wife and my son." exhaling a sigh of relief, the feeling of an impatient rose within me.
"You're welcome, I won't bothering you then."
Before the doctor takes his leave he added a piece of advice to me
"And please let your wife rest for a couple of days, she needs it." added the doctor
"Certainly!"
With that, I rushed inside and seeing that both my wife and my son are fast asleep. I just smiled and caressing their faces gently.
"Aww, you're so handsome, kid. Just like me!" unconsciously I grinning foolishly, too happy to think about anything else.
...
After taking a nap, the pain that I felt before has subsided a little. Nevertheless, my body still aches and I still don't have any strength to move freely.
You know what? I'll just give in to fate and 'recuperate' until I can move freely like before.
Several days passed just like that, on a daily basis I just laying down and do nothing besides screaming when I have to take a dump and sucking something when I feel hungry.
This is weird, I remember some things like some mechanical design and random psych stuff but I don't remember a thing about my identity. But, from the conversation that I heard before, apparently my name is Gideon and my family name is Victor.
And right now I, different from what I thought before, am now just a baby. Or should I say back to become a baby AGAIN? I don't exactly remember my 'life' before, but I'm sure I have been through baby phase all the way into adulthood and have gone through a lot of things.
I don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing to back become a baby again with the knowledge and an adult awareness like this. On one side, I got a head start on many aspects in my life and if I use my knowledge in the right moment and the right place, I can gain even more advantage in life like recognition, money, authority and many more.
But on the other side, it is a very boring and repetitive lifestyle that I will go through at least until I reach the legal age to be considered as an adult and do something on my own. Okay then, my first step is to know the current state of the world and my family's standing in society. Depend on that, I'll have to make some change here and there in my plan.
Whatever, right now I only can eat, sleep, excreting and spout some gibberish anyway. I've got plenty of time to prepare the recipe and ingredients to brew glory and bottled fame, I've got plenty of advanced scientific knowledge and many others at my disposal... even currently they're a bit blurry and I can't recall many of them yet.
Well, at least that was what I planned to do in the future until one day I overheard my mom's uttered her worries and asked a question to my dad...
"Dear, do you know about the 'search order' of the marine to find the Pirate king's offspring? Is it still going? has it ended yet?"
Hm? Marine? pirate king? Hey, Wait for a second...
