Chapter 4 -- Eyes open 

Zane didn't want to think about how he felt when being born, because if the thought about it he would imagine it and he really didn't want to imagine it.

"Awww he's so cute." Zane heard the same voice which was telling his mother to push.

He was pleasantly surprised to hear the language used being English. At least he didn't have to learn a new language. 

"What's with the white hair though ?" A male voice asked.

'This must be my father' Zane thought 'Wait...i have white hair !?'

"Oh come on Owen I think it's cute don't you think so ?" the female said.

"I guess so, he is most likely to be a lady killer when he grows up. Just like his father" said the male voice, which Zane had figured to belong to Owen , his father.

"Wait Gia isn't he supposed to be crying or something" Owen said with concern.

"You're right let's get this guy to release a few cries shall we ?"

SMACK***

'What the hell !?' Zane felt pain on his bottom. He couldn't believe they just hit him. He was a baby born a few seconds ago for crying out loud!. Zane wondered if beating up new born babies was normal on this planet.

"Huh ?. Still nothing, let's try this again"

SMACK***

That was the last straw, Zane would not allow this lady to abuse him any longer.

"Hey lady could you please stop that. It really hurts you know! what did i ever do to you ?" Zane shouted at the top of his tiny little lungs. However...

WEEEEEEEEEEH!!!!!*****

Was the only sound which came out of his mouth. Zane heard his father release a sigh of relief when he cried.

"Can i hold him?" a weak female voice reached his ears. Zane didn't need to guess to figure out that was his mother. He immediately felt a deep connection to this voice.

"Of course Olivia" said Gia, the woman who helped Zane's mother give birth. Zane felt movement for a little bit until he felt his mother's hands for the first time. Mind you he was still crying but as soon as his mother held him he felt like nothing could hurt him anymore, he felt.....at home

After a few minutes laying on his mother's chest he heard Gia speak "Ok the little guy needs a bath now. Have you guys thought of a name yet ?"

"Zane." his mother weakly said before she passed out.

Two months later.

It's been two months since Zane was born and so far his life was peaceful to say the least. He hasn't left his mother's side even though he spends 80% of his day asleep.

Zane was very eager to do magic but he has no idea how. Even if he knew how to do it he couldn't because he still had zero mana. 

He once tried to steal just a little bit of mana from his mother through the mana gathering skill. Zane could feel the energy trying to enter his body, but it always failed. It was like something was blocking the mana.

Zane summed it up to the fact that he was too young and his body wouldn't be able process the energy.He had to be patient and grow up first.

Zane's greatest annoyance came from the fact that he still couldn't see !. He knew that he was still way too young but his curiosity about the new world made want to see everything.

Due to not being able to open his eyes yet, Zane focused on his other senses except for touch and taste. That was because the only thing he ever touched were his parents and the only thing he ever tasted was his mother's milk.

Those other senses though gave Zane information which worried him a little. During the rare moments in which he was not asleep, he heard galloping sounds consistent with horses running. He also heard the cracking sound of fire. His nose also picked up the scent of manure.

He hasn't heard any electronic device at all. He was expecting to maybe hear the Television, microwave, radio or the low hum of a refrigerator but there was nothing. This led Zane to believe that this world didn't have electricity....or technology.

That thought really worried Zane because the only reason he needed to be reincarnated with his memories was so that he could rebuild his empire wherever he went.

However how could he become a software engineer in a world with absolutely no technology ?. Zane began to think more and more that this was all Aurora's doing.

For some reason his parents never talked anything when Zane was close. They only used that baby talk with him, which infuriated him to no end. It also didn't help that he was pretty much always asleep.

Two months later and Zane felt like he could finally move his eyelids. After a few minutes of trying, he finally opened his eyes...but nothing.

'How long does it take for a child to gain his eyesight anyway ?' Zane thought.

"Owen !! come here look he has opened his eyes!" Olivia shouted in excitement.

"Really !?" Said Owen running into the room they where in. Zen could hear him breathing, which meant he was out of breath. 

He could smell sweat on his body, which meant he was doing some sort of manual labor. He could also smell the rich scent of soil from Owen. This was the first time Owen ever went near Zane before taking a bath.

'My parents are farmers.' Zane concluded without a shadow of doubt.

Zane was also quite impressed with his senses. He had been practicing ever since he was born and he was proud to say his all his senses except for sight and taste were now on another level.

"Honey why are our son's eyes white ?" Owen said. Zane could hear the unease in his voice.

"I don't know, but I'm sure it's nothing serious just like his white hair. I am sure very soon he will be able to see, trust me this little guy is going to make us very proud.

Olivia was right on one thing but also very wrong on another.
