ARC FOUR:CH-4.2

Being a baby was so inconvenient.

You couldn't walk properly on your own. You couldn't eat usually without being fed. You couldn't bath on your own, you couldn't rummage through things that were out of your reach, you couldn't talk properly and worst of all, you would burf everytime after eating. And everytime it happened the feeling of burping was so unpleasant that it made Ivar wanna throw up.

"Baby chan, where are you?" The twins were at it again. There was never a day when these two came to disturb Ivar. They searched the entire room but couldn't find their adorable baby brother.

Jude and Joel looked at each other. Something clicked in their mind. "Ah.....maybe he is in the library, reading books again."

When they entered the library as expected, they found a bunch of books scattered on the floor. The twins looked at the things their baby chan had been reading. All of them were books about wars, national political affairs and other topics that a normal baby usually won't read. Moreover their baby brother had just turned five this year.

The twins searched the library but they still couldn't find their baby chan.

Jude activated his magic circle to find him.

"Ah...found him!" He exclaimed. Both of them disappeared from the library.

"Baby chan...we have been looking for you."

Ivar felt his brow twitch. He did not have to look back to see who they were. Their voices have been engraved in his consciousness deeply specially after hearing them call him baby chan each and every day, it felt like a mental torture.

"What are you looking at?" Joel asked his adorable little brother, who was staring down at the world from the rooftop.

Their baby chan had this strange habit of reading and sightseeing almost everyday.

Ivar stared at the world before him. A wonderful civilization complimented with the perfect adaptation of magic into tools, this world had tree branches as roads, clouds as rivers, the structure of the sun shining down at them was a strange apple shape, with a rainbow bridge elongating in the sky, even the plants and trees were full of vigour, their stems and branches swaying as if they were alive. And all of these was because of the magic manifesting tools implanted on them. Even the structure of the houses were strange. The designs of these houses changed everyday, from one design to another. The house he was currently living in was no different. Like how the internal layout of the rooms shifted everyday. At first it was kinda annoying but now that Ivar got used to it, this shifting was actually very intersting.

The civilization was of the Goblin race. It was one of a kind.

Ivar felt a pair of palm pinching his cheek.

He glared at them. "What is it? Why are you pinching me?"

Joel and Jude smiled at him. "Nothing. You were just so cuteee so we couldn't help ourselves."

Ivar frowned. "But I told you I hate it."

The two twins flashed an idiotic smile at him. To Ivar who was actually an adult, their smile was full of innocence, with no ulterior motive, in short, they were as innocent as any normal children. Ivar sighed. Because he was an adult he couldn't really insist on scolding them knowing that they were just kids.

If there was anything thing different about Joel and Jude then it had to be their appearance. The two twins retained their usual appearance but their bodies were taller now. They were barely sixteen but their physique appeared to be that of an adult.

"Hehe....so cute. Just like an angel..." Joel exclaimed staring at Ivar's chubby face.

Jude was the same. He held Ivar in his arms, picking him up. Ivar hated being carried in their arms but no matter how he rejected them they were so persistent. He then learnt his lesson when they let him sit on their lap forcefully for an enitre day. Since then he just let them have their way.

Then turning to his twin brother he said. "Joel what are you even comparing our baby chan to? Angels are too ugly to be compared to our baby chan. If anything, our baby chan is the cutest existence in this world."

"Well that's true. Our baby chan is the cutest."

Baby chan this. Baby chan that. Our baby chan. My baby chan. Ivar was already tired of this annoying nickname. Why not just call him by a name already?

There was a reason for it. In the Goblin race there was this strange tradition of choosing your own name after you reach your teenager phase. The parents usually give their child a nickname to be used until they come of age and when they become a teenager the children get to choose their own name. A name they bestow on themselves to be called by. Like how, Harry named himself when he became ten years old and how the twins did the same after they came of age. Meaning, it was at the age of ten that a Goblin child becomes a teenager blessed with a name of their choice.

It was such a strange custom.

Five years had passed since Ivar came to this world. He had been collecting information about this world, trying to learn everything about this world. He even let the system absorb the knowledge from the giant library inside the house.

Penten.

That was the name of this planet. Penten was one of the five planets in the Twilight galaxy. The Planet got its name from the mighty Goblin Lord who was the first Goblin to live on this planet and made it his home. The civilization of the Goblin race started with him living in this foreign land as he moulded the unsuitable Planet to his own liking, reshaping it with his powers and transforming it to something very drastic from what it originally was. He was the one who devised the idea of magic tool implantations to the Goblin civilization, thus innovating the modernisation he had accelerated to a next level. And his legacy was passed down from one generation to another. As it happened various alterations were made to what the legendary Goblin lord had offered the Goblin race thus causing the advancement in their civilization to what it was now.

The initial Goblin race in this world was what Ivar and Nulis were familiar with. Initially they were sex crazed creatures, weak and barely born with any inteligence, vicious and obscene. They were evolving creatures but only a few could reached the appex of the evolution. Penten was one such rarity, a one in a million goblin that attained the higest evolution the race could reach. So when Penten had his children they inherited the evolved gene of the Goblin lord, with the necessary traits inherited since birth instilled in them the next generation became the light to the vicious, sex crazed goblins, bringing forth a new era of change in the race itself.

In the present generation the imperial family, the Pens were the appex of the race. Maria and Peter were the rulers of this Planet.

The other four planets were Lilput, Mother, Halo and Mith. Lilput was the Planet of the dwarfs. It was the closest Planet neighbouring Penten. Lilput was also known as the planet of the mines. It was rich in mines, minerals and magic crystals. And these could be mined and processed only by the dwarf race. Because of this reason the planet had various foreign trading networks with all the other planets. The nature of the dwarfs were very calm and peace loving so throughout the race's entire history there had never been a case of internal conflict or external war.

Mother on the other hand was the land of wars. Inhabited by greedy, needy, persistent and cunning humans the Planet was always living in warzone. The economy of the planet was so corrupted that it was monopolized by the very few rich families of the planet while the poors were starving on the streets. Moreover what made it worse was the fact that those rich families were always on war against each other, struggling to have their entire grasp on the planet as its political ruler.

Because of their ugly nature the civilians of Mother planet was greatly despised by the angels inhabiting Planet Halo. The Planet of angels, the holy winged creature living in Halo, were aloof, secretive and mysterious. They lived their lives in seclusion from the other planets. The angel race was quite fragile despite being born with terrifying powers. They had the weakest life cycle out of all the races in the Twilight galaxy. However they were not to be underestimated because if angered the angel race was strong enough to take up any opponent either it be the powerful goblins or the greedy humans or the resourceful fairies.

Mith, the planet of fairies. It was the furthest planet away from Penten. Mith was one of the very resourceful, blessed and the most majestic planet of all fives. It was the home of the fairies, the pixies, the elves and many other wingless creatures as well. Mith and Penten were nemesis of each other's races. The enmity between the two races all started when the Goblin Lord kidnapped the third princess of the fairies and made her his wife. The fairy Princess, Elvia was forced to become Goblin lord Penten's mate. Because of this Princess Elvia had to leave Mith never to return again. A fairy couldn't live without their mate. They had to be with them the enitre time to enhance their life expectancy once they become mates. With much reluctance the fairy race had to let their beloved princess go but the hatred they had for the Goblin that snatched their princess away from them remained in their hearts. Even till this day the two races were always in conflict against each other. Like how Peter went to war against them and even dared to steal their precious national treasure called fairy milk from them.

Ivar could now understand the reason behind the unusual appearance of his family members. Princess Elvia, the one and only wife of Lord Penten was part of the reason behind their peculiar appearances. As for the Fairy milk theft executed by Peter....well...they did all of that for him so he had no complaints. Moreover with the fairies stealing some of their national treasures, the score was even on both sides.

However there was one thing bothering him. It was regarding the lovestory between the Goblin lord and the fairy Princess. According to some sources their love was mutual and Princess Elvia eloped with Lord Penten while according to some legends the fairy Princess was kidnapped and taken against her will to be the goblin's mate thus resulting in her leaving mith.

"What to you think Nulis?" Ivar talked to the system in silence. He was currently being put to bed by his birth mother, Maria.

Kissing him on his forehead the female Goblin left the bedroom.

"Given how Lord Penten was the only Goblin at the appex of his race's evolution and judging by his antics according to the records of the library he almost fits the standard of a 'modern man' reincarnating in another world. This world is probably a developing world born by his legacy, blessed by its consciousness." Nulis replied calmly. This was the only valid conclusion he could think of after going through the Infromation loaded in his head.

Right. Ivar agreed with him. "Princess Elvia and Goblin Lord Penten, they are already dead. To the present world they only appear to be legendary figures. Its amazing how this world grew out of their legacy. The son of fates are already dead yet this world is building up its own consciousness. It seems the universe is still full of mysteries."

Indeed. Nulis couldn't agree more. He found it reasonable that the system had no information instilled about this world in the network.

Ivar closed his eyes. He was trying to fall asleep, trying hard not to think about something.

Sigh. Five years had already passed. But.....

"Wang Lei, You liar!" You fucking liar!

At this time neither Ivar nor Nulis had an inkling to the crisis that Guang Wang Lei was currently undergoing.

"Why? What did you say? Care to repeat it again?"

His voice was full of malice, the killing intent rising from his form made those kneeling before him cower with fear.
