Chapter 2: Went to buy milk

'It has been ..... I don't know how many days. I have lost count after 400,000 or so seconds.'

'Far longer time has gone since then. I can feel my body moving but can't control it. '

'Sigh.. 9 month is a long time to wait. I hope I didn't get scammed by the old man.'

*Time Skip*

Few moments after birth

'The experience was ughh not pleasant. I still couldn't see nor could I hear.'

'But I could feel myself exposed to the perils of the world. I felt helpless and powerless infront of the dangers I have yet to encounter.'

'What's more I felt as though some almighty being was watching me, waiting for right moment to strike. '

'It was serious'

'Its seriously delicious...Ummf Suck Suck Slurp'

'It had been so long since I had Slurp.. anything. This is amazing. Ummf Suck... I need more. Give me moar'

---POV change---

Around dusk in a house. The lantern were giving off dim light and the loud noises have ceased.

*Chuckle*

"Look how he is drinking. Little guy is not

letting go." says man in soft voice.

"Honey, he needs to grow healthy and strong." says a woman.

"Haha, I know, I know. He sure will grow strong and handsome, he is my son after all"

"He will be a ladykiller just like his father, won't he?" says the woman.

"Guh! When.. But.. Sigh!"

The couple watched the baby in silence.

The man caresses the baby hands.

"His small and tender hands carry the weight of his future." The man kisses the tiny hands.

The man looks at the new born.

"His beautiful eyes will burn with conviction and he will be a great magician just like his momma", says the man.

"Or a strong swordsman and conquer the world" says the woman smiling.

Her expression suddenly turned gloomy and tears starr rolling down her pale cheeks.

"But we won't be here to see that, will we?"

His expressions turn grey.

'... Sweetie. He is safer here. "

"I know but..."

---POV change----

'After a while I could feebly see and hear'

'And Wow. Overhearing their conversation, aren't they expecting a little too much from someone who is just born?'

'Like let me grow a few years and then tell me that '

' They who I assume are my parents are quite young in their mid 20s'

'And damn they look so handsome and beautiful. They can easily rival anyone from my old world in terms of looks. Father seems to be a strong, wise, dependable swordsman and my mother a magician beauty'

'Are all people of this world like this? And how can I see and hear so early? Is this normal in this world as well?'

'But the bigger question is how the hell can I understand them? They certainly aren't speaking English, yet I can somehow....'

'Bruh, is everything possible in a fantasy world?"

'Well, No use pondering, it's probably the skill that god gave me .God you are dope.'

---------POV change---------

Cricket chirping could be heard at a distance.

The night had taken over and all that could be seen was darkness.

*Loud steps**Loud steps*

Another man entered the room hustling.

*Slam* Door opens

*Huff* *Huff*

He was out of breath and sweating heavily and his legs were about to give out.

"They h-have already crossed the forest. It will be just a matter of time before they find you." "You must hurry!"

"WHAT? So early?"

"Honey, looks like we need to move "

The previous gloomy look on his face was replaced with a rather serious look.

With tears rolling down her eyes the woman replies,"Y-Yes, L-Let's get going. They may track Cain hic-here if we stay any longer.'

The woman gently puts down the baby from her arms and then the baby starts crying.

'Wait, Hold up. What is happening? Who is tracking whom? I have a bad feeling about this. This seems serious. Are my parents leaving me?'

'Nooooo, Am I going to be an orphan? And not some prince? Where is my golden spoon I wished for? This is not what I wanted.' Cain was anxious.

"Your momma is going to get some milk. Momma will be back. Don't cry, Don't cry Hic..

Be a Hic..good boy." says the woman her last goodbye to the child in tears and leaves.

'Wait. No, dont go.'

'No don't leave. No don't."

The baby starts crying louder.

Fast forward a few days

'Its been a few days since I was born'

'And few days since my parents went to buy milk'

'Bruh'

'Went to buy milk'

'Bruh'

'Bruh are you fuuking kidding me?'

'Fuuk it, why do parents leave their kids under the pretense of going to buy milk?

Am I that ugly?' Cain cried inside.

The situation was not favorable to Cain but was not as bad as Cain initially thought though.

Luckily, his parents didn't leave him in an orphanage. Instead judging by the looks of his male guardian, he seems to be his father's brother or in other words, his uncle. For now he seems to to be in his uncle and aunt's care.

And boy they are both beautiful. His uncle with his equally good looks of his father and aunt as beautiful as his mother.

'Are all the people like that in this world?'

Cain grits his non existent teeth worrying if he will grow to be a handsome man in the future. He was not a person too crazy about his looks in his past life but with everybody around him now looking like god of beauty he has no choice but to become self conscious. (definitely not jealous).

Oh by the way, before he was even born his parents had already decided on his name 'Cain' , same as that from his past life. Was it fate?

Over the days, Cain had learnt a few things about his place from overhearing his guardians talking about weather, shopping and politics.

His place was a small settlement at the border of 2 kingdoms Cidel and Kririd. Reves forest separates the two kingdoms for the most part. And his place was few kilometers away form the forest. There also lies great Amadeen mountain range in between two kingdoms borders.

South of the Cidel Kingdom lied the Kingdom of Eyarin. Eyarin is a powerful kingdom and also the trade center. It provides a lot to the landlocked Cidel Kingdom in trade.

"Honey, I am home."

'Seems like my aunt Lunette is here.'

'I guess it's my part now.'

Cain cries his throat out. His loud cry alerted his aunt and she rushed to Cain in worry.

"Ala la la , don't cry baby. I am here, I am here"

Crying had become his daily routine.

Cain did his best to keep up the baby behavior. He was ashamed to cry like that or pee on his bed but he couldn't be suspicious. He had swallowed his last bit of dignity and peed on his bed.

He naturally assumed that babies cry even in the other world. His cries could stick like a sore thumb is babies didn't cry in this world but seeing the unworried expression of his uncle and aunt it seems he was safe from suspicion.

"You must be hungry. I should prepare some milk"

Aunt Lunette gently put Cain back to his cradle and went to heat up milk for the baby.

'Dinner time I guess. ' thought Cain nearly dozing off.

'Alas no tiddy milk for me' ,Cain expressed his displeasure.

With a gentle touch aunt Lunette lit the word on fire.

' Oh, did I mention this world has magic? Aunt Linette just used fire magic . It seems there is also alchemy and other interesting stuff.

Now I can live a fantasy experience. All hail the old god.'

Meanwhile in heaven

I have given that child basic language skills and better perception and intelligence. This is the most I can do now. Hope he doesn't die any time soon.

Wait, will these gifts save him from the actual threats? Hmm, maybe should have given him..

Why am I worrying? It's not like I am responsible for that child's mishaps.

Yes, yes I am a virtuous god and am helping the child and have done enough.

*Sneeze*

"Dammit, Did some evil good curse me again?"
