Chapter 2:New life...
Somewhere in the multi-verse on a planet called Earth, in the operating room of some hospital a baby not even 1 min old starts crying "god damn it what was this she should have told me that it would be this kind of ride, I'm so fucking dizzy now."
Suddenly while I was thinking about my soul travel I heard a voice and someone picking me up
-it's a boy, says one of the voices.
Which I guess is the doctor's voice maybe...
-yes I can see that!
Respond a deep but caring voice .."my father" I tough
-what about the mother and father doctor?
Ask the deep caring voice but now there was urgency a little panic and fear mixed in as well.
-unfortunately, they both passed on the table Mr..???
''oh so he is not my father then''
-sigh Smith, Anthony Smith oooh John Layla didn't think the conversation we had when you both knew about the pregnancy was going to happen this soon but don't worry my friends I'll be a good uncle for the little Ace.
-So you are his family member then that's great but I must inform you that I will have to call a social worker it is the procedure in those case
-what case responded Anthony now that I knew my 'parents' had probably arranged in case anything happened I should maybe call him uncle ... I hope it was not my fault I mused to myself but I doubt Persephone would have done something this cruel most probably the soul of the body I am in was dead but with me coming in this world it changed.
-in the orphan case Mr.Smith but since you're his family this won't be a problem you should call a relevant person like your lawyer.
-I am the lawyer of the family so it won't be needed but I do have things I need to get moving .. when are you gonna call the social worker?
-as soon as I will take my leave from here but they won't be here before 8 in the morning tomorrow.
-great I need to make phone calls and get the will from the bank safe i will pay for everything so put him in the best post-natal room you've got and I want a nurse at his side all the time
-you will need to pay now for all of those but it should not be a problem neither will it be long let I take him to the best room we got and we will take care of the formalities afterward Mr.Smith
-Humm acknowledges Uncle Anthony " About time you put me down damn you doctor you should have smooth hands why was this so uncomfortable, sigh I can't open my eyes yet and why am I so tired Ah ill think about it when I wake up I need to sleep"
DING WELCOME TO YOUR NEW LIFE AND HOME HOST I AM YOUR SYSTEM AI FROM THE SUPREME ARTIST SYSTEM
eh "damn it I was an almost asleep system you could have waited no ?"
"Sorry host but for the system to get running I need a name then you will be good to sleep while I am loading all features for the system and knowledge from this earth."
"Ohh sounds great humm a name you say what about Alexa hahaha"
"Host will need a heavy course on humor but as you wished Alexa it is said the robotic voice update begins in 3.2.1 see you later host"
"Night night Alexa"
I woke up to the sounds of people talking I was still groggy so I was at a loss for a couple of seconds before I heard a sweet feminine voice in my head "Hello host"
-Alexa? I screamed out loud but the only thing that got out of my mouth was the sound of a baby babbling due to that the people in the room all stopped speaking until I heard a deep caring voice who was it if not Anthony?
-oh looks who has woken up! Good morning Ace he turned to look at me and stood there looking shocked "What's got into him "I asked myself
-Wow little Ace got the eyes of his parents quite a particular boy you're gonna make them fall one by one hehehe
-you mean he got the eyes of one of his parent Mr Smith, You're so excited you can't even speak normally (giggles) said another feminine voice that I didn't know of
-No didn't speak wrongly take a look yourself Helena said to Anthony and then I saw a pretty lady come into my view she looked to be in her mind 30 with long auburn hair and gentle pale green eyes they looked like they wanted to take care of the world "such gentle eyes I thought to myself" but then again she stood there looking at me shocked like I am an alien
"Alexa what is going on why are they acting like that and why is your voice... never mind it was the <update > right?"
"Haha again good morning ho..."
"Call me Ace or no better call me Lotus"
"Alright lotus for your question they are stunned like that because of the choice you made with your appearance but I can't blame them you look quite striking with both eyes not the same color "
"I see so I got one eye electric blue and the other emerald green hahaha awesome I can't wait to see what I look like "
While I was speaking with Alex the woman who I now know her name was Helena scooped me up from my crib to feed me I had never been a heavy milk drinker in my past life but oh when I'm a baby now it will do for now not like I have any choice. Helena was still looking at me talking to me
-little Ace must have been tired after the event from yesterday a baby woke up at least 3 to 4 times to drink milk but you slept for 7h50 minutes straight, if you continue like this Mr. Smith will pay me for nothing, omg you look so cute with those eyes, did you know Mr. Smith didn't sleep all night, I tough the phone would wake you up but.....
And she continued talking like I could understand her ... well I could but she didn't know that "So Alexa how was the update anything I should know can I see my status "
"There are quite some differences in this earth from yours but nothing major we can get to those later and for your status you just need to think about it and it will show Lotus"

"Hum easy enough Alexa why is there an asterisk on inventory and why is my INT so damn high also I'm guessing that missions and shop are locked because I can't move or speak yet right ?" "Yes lotus they are locked for now but don't worry they will not stay locked for long also your INT is off the chart because the time your soul stayed waiting made it way stronger than it should have and since the soul and the mind are connected you are probably one of the most intelligent men on this planet .... and for your last question the asterisk is there because you have an unopen package in the inventory "

While I was absorbed in my status and new package 2 hours went by and now more people were coming into the room I was still in Helena's arms she took another bottle of milk and started feeding me while I was looking at the men and woman who just enter the room the men was tall with a stubble of unkept beard dark brown eyes and black hair the woman was also tall for a woman maybe 5ft9 or 10 it is hard to judge when you are so little and everything looks so big. Uncle Anthony shook the hand of the man and nodded at the woman before Anthony could say anything the woman looked at me and shrieked
-Omg look at this Dan he is so cute look at his eyes wow they are beautiful!
"Damn maybe I should have asked for more normal eyes... naahhh those are killer eyes hehehe I thought to myself"
-For god sake Amanda we are in a hospital don't yell like this
-sorry boss but look at him and he is such a cutie
-hum I recall reading something about this I think it is called complete heterochromia
Uncle Anthony nodded his head and said:
-yes you are quite knowledgeable Mr.Chauncey well enough about little Ace can we get to the reason for your presence
-Yes right away Mr.Smith I can see that you are prepared for this so it should not be long as you know when a child loses his parents like Ace here most of them don't have family members to take care of them so this is where we intervene but when I heard the report of this case and your demand for a lawyer of our site to be sure everything was in order I knew it would be a piece of cake so I took Ms.wells with me she is a new hire of ours fresh out of the law school of NY
-Great I don't want to stay here more than necessary so as I was saying to your supervisor this morning I got the will of my clients here stating that in the case of the death of both parents, I will get custody of Ace here are the papers and everything is legal and got the notary stamp Ms.Wells if you want to check those now
-humm yes!
She took the papers and started reading after 10 minutes or so she put them back down on the table smiled at me then looked at my uncle and said
-Everything is in order Mr.Smith I wish you both a happy life and may we never meet again Mr.Chauncey we have nothing more to do here so we should let them rest
-yes we should be on our way Mr.Smith it was a pleasure and I'll pray for you and Ace thank you for your time!
With that they both stood up and left I could hear Uncle Anthony sighing in relief and exhaustion must have been hard on him from losing both of his friends and now dealing with all this and my taking care of my good being.
-Helena I will go sleep for a while the doctor said we can leave in the afternoon if Ace doesn't show any sign of sickness so wake me up at 12h30 if you please
-yes Mr.Smith and you won't have to worry I will look after Ace speaking of which it should be time for you to sleep too little man
She said while looking at me but she got a point I'm starting to get drowsy damn it I can't wait to grow up sleeping every 2 to 3 hours will be a pain ('×')well nothing I can do about this for now lets sleep
Helena looked at me and Uncle Sleeping with a gentle smile "Poor Mr.Smith it must have been a shock for him and little Ace sighed poor child will not be able to meet his parent at least he got us don't worry little Ace we will be there "
