Chapter - 3 [ Second Chance - Growth ]

After some weeks, the babies began opening their eyes and began smiling as they liked. Their cuteness was too much for the maids and family. They named the baby boy Adam and the baby girl Amanda.

Adam after opening his eyes, thought only one thing.

'What the hell happened..!? Why can I see everything..? Wasn't I supposed to be dead..!? Could it be....I've been reincarnated...!?'

He didn't know about himself. The only thing he remembered was brutally suffering in the hands of a mad man and dying.

'After my death, I remember being in the darkness and then, I was swallowed by that light, but after opening my eyes, I was here....'

He didn't remember anything that happened after that. He wanted to know who reincarnated him. He wasn't an idiot to think that it was all for free. But what could a baby do...? As he was thinking about it, he heard a sound,

« System Booting..... »

« 1%....24%...»

«70%...100%!»

« System Booting Complete! Welcome Master!»

Adam heard a voice. It was an organic voice but he could somehow feel that it wasn't the right tone. However instead of thinking about it, he asked inwardly, 'A system...? How did I get one...?'

Of course! him being a book worm, read multiple books and novels and knew about the system and understood everything. But he was skeptical about it. After all there were different circumstances where the system betrayed the host and there were sometimes systems that were loyal to the host. He decided to calm and ask.

'First of all, Why do you call me Master...?'

« Answering Master, I am not sure myself Master. Upon awakening I remembered I was told to help you and guide you.»

'Told..? Who told you...?'

« I am not aware. I feel like I lost some of my memories. I am sure that I am a system Intelligence. So I don't know how I can have memories at all. It's just my instinct »

He was now more confused. Does an AI have instincts..? But he let it go and asked,

'I don't know if it is dangerous or not. But I would like to see it. I will see if I want to use it afterwards'

« Accepted! Showing System Interface....

[ STATUS ]

[ SKILLS ]

[ ... ] - LOCKED

[ ... ] - LOCKED

»

Seeing the system Interface Adam was feeling very giddy. After all it is man's dream to see a real world system and powers. He still doesn't know what kind of world he was living in. The system will be up to that information.

He said in his mind 'Open Status'

« Opening Status....

[ STATUS ]

NAME : ADAM AVES ALDIANS

AGE : 15 DAYS

RACE : HUMAN, ( UNKNOWN)

POWER : 250

DEFENSE : 250

AGILITY : 300

DEXTERITY : 100

MAGIC : N/A

EX - LEVEL : MORTAL

»

Seeing the status tab inside his mind Adam was feeling excited. He was excited about learning magic after seeing it. But some things confused him, like his Race and his amount of Magic. As if answering his questions the AI answered him,

« The Race Human means Master is Human and the Unknown means you have another racial gene on you which is unknown to you now »

'Does that mean one of my parents isn't human..?'

« No. That is incorrect. The master's parents are both humans. It seems Master's unknown race is about the owner of the system or myself. I am not sure.. »

Seeing that the system AI is actually trying to help him, he wasn't sure how to treat it from now on. Maybe it's trying to make him trust it. But the feelings in the words even though there is nothing he was able to tell that it wasn't trying to harm him. He doesn't know if it is some kind of instinct. But he decided to trust it for now.

'Ok. Let's leave the racial issue for now. What about my Magic...? Why does it say it's Null...?'

He was very excited after reading the word Magic. But seeing he doesn't have any Magic power, he was sad.

« It means the system is unable to or incapable of telling the exact amount of Master's Magic. You can experiment once you can train and try how much you can hold. And you don't have to worry about having no magic power. As if it was the reason, the system would have shown it as 0 »

'I see...'

He began to think. Then he looked at other system Interfaces.

'Hey Syst... I can't call you a system forever now can I...? How about a name..?'

« ..... »

The system went silent for a while.

« Master wishes to name the System AI.... »

'Hmm.... Since the system and everything is like an unknown power and a god's power, how about....Maya..?'

« ... Initiating Naming protocols... »

« ... System AI named 'Maya'... »

« ... »

It went silent again. Then in a new tone Maya replied,

« My Name is Maya. Thank you for naming me Master Adam. It's a pleasure to serve you! »

He could feel emotions from her. She was happy. Not only because he named her. But because her name was Maya. He wondered if there was something going on. But not knowing anything else he can't make any false assumptions now can he...? So he decided to reply to her.

'Yes. But can you stop calling me Master...? I don't know, But it feels wrong. Just call me Adam. Also speak casually.'

« Ok Adam. From now on I will call you that! »

He nodded mentally before telling 'Maya, open other unlocked interfaces and their descriptions.'

« Ok. Opening Interfaces, Skills now....

[ SKILLS ]

(Description) : Can learn any skills as long as you have the knowledge of it, Create Skills, etc.

»

'Oh!' He actually wanted to continue but he was stopped by a familiar cry. Looking at his right side he was happy seeing his twin sister. She was crying. He placed his hand on hers and as if she was in a dream, she stopped crying and looked over to see him. Then a smile.

Yawn....

They both felt sleepy and succumbed to the tiredness. Opening the door to their room, the maid who entered saw this beautiful scene and smiled widely.

Inside Adam's head, in a secret area, a small doll like girl with ocean blue irises, Black silk hair was sitting in a chair. She was hugging herself and she smiled like a goddess and she thought inwardly knowing that Adam wouldn't be able to hear her,

'So this is love..! Sigh...How much do i have to wait before being able to see him eye to eye..? So the trigger to my memories was my naming....? He even named me the same even though he never remembered me...! It shows that i am still in his heart even though his memories are sealed. He suffered a lot. So for his sake i must take some risks. I will wait for you....'

One Year Later

A year left like the flow of a river. Adam and Amanda were now 1 year old. During his one year, he changed a lot. His baby face now had hair, which is silver in color and amethyst colored eyes. Both Adam and Amanda had almost the same features. But they weren't identical twins.

He learned a lot about this world. In fact there is no system like settings in this world. There weren't even gods in this world. This was still a world which used Magic, Weapons, and techniques to fight.

The first thing he learned was the names of his parents. His father's name was Arthur and Mother Andrea. His father was a noble with the peerage of Duke. He was the younger brother of the king of their kingdom Grania.He has an older sister as well. She is called Amelia. She is Four years older than him.

His kingdom was near the Aragon Empire and Seaport kingdom Brine. In their continent, there were four countries. Excluding these three, the other is an elven country. It is actually inside a dense forest so no one knows the exact position of their country.

He actually learned these all from hearing his parents talk. The next thing he learned was language. He knows he can't learn to write right now. So he only learned to speak. But of course he can't speak now.

He was happy as well because his parents were actually very dotting people. So he felt very loved.

He wanted to learn more. But with his small build and little energy, he can't continue his information gathering. He was looking forward to growing up....
