Chapter 2

It was a fateful day for both Alexander and Olivia; the two had been married for 6 years and finally decided to have a child. Both were beyond delighted especially Alexander who hoped for a boy.

It had rained furiously the night before as a result the ground outside was still soggy. The weather was cold with regular winds. It was a beautiful day.

It had taken the midwife a day longer to travel to the Aphelion's Mansion. The maids in the mansion were too inexperienced with labour, this forced Alexander to take up the role of a caretaker until the midwife's anticipited arrival. He had learnt a little about preganany during his school days.

Alexander was a smart man; he was a immensely succesful investor and trader. He earned large amounts of gold coins through his investments. However he still felt empty, until one day he met Olivia, a fellow investor. They both later on got married and today their love was on the line.

...

.

Olivia woke up from from the baby's loud cry. She was furious, she had never thought childbirth would hurt so much. All her anger was appointed towards Alexander who mesmerised her with the idea of getting a child.

"I swear to god Alex you will not touch me for a whole year"

"Calm down dear.. the delivery was a success." Alexander spoke trying to avert the topic entirely.

"Shut up, I won't fall for your tricks tricks anymore"

Olivia looks towards the white-haired baby on her side and immediately realising it was her kin.

"You got your dad's hair and my looks. Hopefully you got my intelligence too." said Olivia.

(Change of Pov)

It seems I'm baby again..not too surprising since I met GOD, that's even more bizzarre than being reincarnated in a baby's body. But it turns out I still have my adult consciousness and memories.

I look around the the room; It was a huge room, almost the size of my previous house (before I got kicked out atleast). It was covered with luxury and gold which made me turn a evil grin.

"Yeess...I don't have to worry about money anymore."

I see the hands of a black haired woman reach out me. I suspected her to be my mother and from her warm embrace I was correct.

"My child" cried the woman.

She hugged me for a good minute while strongly resting her head over mine.

"I hope you turn out big and strong for' there are many evils in this world. And even more who want to see you fall. You will need power to overcome all the danger." spoke the woman as she embraced me.

"Evil?...fall?....power?" I stared back towards my 'mother' confused.

She was covered in sweat, pus and blood.She looked horrendous. Although it was the same for me. I didn't realise childbirth was this disgusting.

"ewww"

"I smell so bad"

As soon I thought of my disgusting condition I felt my body being heightened and suddenly a glow eveloped both me and my mom.

I look towards the source of this...'thing' and I stared at the midwife who was chanting something. She held out her right hand towards my direction.

And suddenly.

*poof*

All the pus, blood and sweat flew up from my belly, face and legs forming a ball in front of me slowly perishing out of existance.

I immediately realised what this was.

magic.

But also,

A goddamn fantasy world.

"Yessssssssss"

"This is probably the best thing that happened to me" I let out a tear of happiness.

Alexander who stared at the two of us like an outsider also joined the reunion hugging us both.

"Turns out I have a loving family" I sincerely smiled towards the loving couple.

Looking at these two lovebirds, they remind me of my original parents. How did they feel knowing I died practically as a begger. Were they sad? happy? nonchalant?

Remembering how they kicked me out of the house they probably don't even care if I died or survived.

(Back at Earth)

TV: "Welcome to Near news, your local news source. Today we have quite the interesting story for the viewers at home. Uhhh, apparently, yesterday at one of the local vending machine spots a homeless man passed away from the *bwaahaha*  uhm I'm sorryy. He passed away fRommm the weeiiighttt of the vending machine."

The sound of glass shattering vibrated through the house. It marked the beginning of many cries that were to come.

My son.

My boy.

Tears dripped onto the concrete floor one after another drenching the floor in liquid.

The couple stared at the TV in utter disbelieve. Confusion, sadness and a mix of other feelings shrouded over the couple's face.

"Ahhhggf"

*sob*

*sob*

The couple continued to cry themselves to sleep.

-------end of flashback-------

It's been 1 year since I was reincarnated into this world. I spend most of my time in a cradle looking up towards the ceiling. A couple of maids take care of me, changing my diapers and my clothes. My parents visit me once a week due their busy schedules. In fact the two of them are barely ever home.

I must say it's extremely embarassing having someone else clean my sh*t. This body sucks, I can't even walk on two legs plus I can't even talk

properly.

I'm not even allowed to go outside of the mansion for my own safety. What bullsh*t honestly. In reality I haven't even gone out of this room. This room has all the necessities so there really wasn't a reason for me to go outside.

I have no idea how big this mansion is. It could be a small mansion for all I know.

*sigh*

I can't wait to grow up.

...

..

.

It's been 3 years since I was reincarnated into this world. I learned to walk and speak relatively quickly, so quick in fact the maids started calling me a genius. *hehe*, little did they know I had the mind of an adult.

My parents visited me a few times over the course of the past year, but they are still occupied with their work.

Ohhhh the most important thing I learnt is a magic spell. Although it is a relatively weak spell it is a spell nonetheless. I haven't told anyone about it or else they would have freaked out about it. No one has learnt magic as early as I did. Not a single soul. I didn't want to attract unecessary attention so I kept quiet about it.
