12 Revelation

"You're awake, big bro!" Said the girl excitedly!

"... Big Bro?"Aloph said softly as he slowly sat upwards, letting out a groan in the process.

Aloph silently called for his stats within his mind 'stats'.

[ Name: Aloph

►Health: Injured, bandaged, healing. Time until death: N/A.

Time until fully healed: 1 day. ]

Oh, good. I'm not going to die from such a petty mistake. Didn't I say I wasn't going to be arrogant earlier? looks like I already broke that promise to myself. Even so, why was there a Spirit wolf within that forest? I swore they only hanged around mass grave sites of animals, but how could that many animals be killed in such a short span of time?

Just as he was thinking to himself, the short girl standing next to his bed was pouting for being ignored and began to pinch her brother's arm, which gave no reaction. When her pinching gave no reaction her pout grew, even more, her cheeks puffed out. She then yelled out!

"Big Bro, Cedric!!!" She yelled at the top of her lungs which then prompted her brother to cover his ears in pain and shouting back at her! "Okay, okay! I see you! Jeez, no need to yell!"

As he removed his hands from covering his ears he suddenly got a system notification.

[ Ding! You have regained the name of your current body! Ten Exp rewarded! ]

This made Aloph check his stats to confirm it.

[ Name: Aloph/Cedric ]

Wait, how did I get the name, Cedric? 'Now I have two names' he thought.

As he was musing to himself about this body's name, 3 people quickly busted into the room. The three who he assumed to be his Father, Mother, and his younger brother whom he vaguely knew.

The one who he assumed to be the father quickly looked towards his younger sister and asked in a hurried tone. "What happened!? Did something happen to Cedric!?" His tone easily made it aware that he was worried for the boy he thought was Cedric.

The girl sitting next to the bed quickly answered. "No, nothing happened, but he was ignoring me so I had to yell at him to get his attention!"

This response was met with a frown from the father and mother. Before the Father had any time to respond the Mother did first. "Sweety, he's injured and needs rest, yelling at him won't make it any better. Go to your room with your young brother and play." The mother said to her daughter in a quick but hushed tone.

The daughter nodded with a frown as she realized her mistake. She then walked over to her younger brother, took his hand and began going to their room to play. After the children were gone, the Mother and Father walked over to the bed and knelt down beside it. The mother was the first to talk.

"Cedric, honey. Are you okay?" The mother asked her son in a concerned voice. "All good, besides the onset of deafness that I was experiencing just a moment ago. Ahah." Aloph chuckled, but his 'parents' did not. His father responded to the joke with a frown while his mother asked him another question.

"Cedric, what were you doing in the Forest? It's dangerous..." To which he responded with the truth. "Hunting."

Hunting?! Both his Mother and Father were shocked. "And what did you hunt?" This made him once again respond in Truth. "Brown Forest Rabbits." The duo was once again shocked. Those rabbits could easily kill a normal adult human with ease and yet here their son was, talking as if they were ordinary rabbits! They were so shocked because when they were searching for them, they found tons of Brown Forest Rabbits with spears lodged within them.

Their son was telling them the truth! And he was only ten years old!
