A new world.

The sound of a baby crying could be heard coming from a room.

The Reiss family have finally gotten an heir.

My name is Steve, I lived for 20 years on a planet called Earth but my life was as miserable as it could be.

If some people are called losers, then I'm the King of losers. I was in high school when I lost my family and my life took a turn for the worst.

I became a total shut in and I lost my friends.

I don't know if I was the one that stopped talking to them or they were the first, all I know is that I found myself with no one to talk to and no one to confide in.

My days went by with a lot of pain and hardship. Before my parents died we were in a very bad living condition and their passing made it even worse.

No matter what happened, I had to continue living. I got a job at a convenience store and the pay was barely enough to feed me and cover sixty percent of my bills.

After work one day, my mood was at its shittiest. I decided to take the shortest route to my house.

The route I took was a dark alley, generally it was safe and I had nothing to worry about but today was different.

Few minutes after I got into the alley I could hear screams coming from the deepest part of the alley which seems to be voice of a young lady.

I didn't deem it important to check out what was happening, I decided to go my way and behave like I heard nothing which proved to be very impossible.

My conscience couldn't take it anymore and I followed the voice until I got to the location and yeah it was exactly what we thought it was.

Fucking rape scene, two burly looking men were holding a lady that looks to be around twenty four years of age and another man was with sitting on her with his pants down.

It looks like the man just finished his business because I could see his face full of smiles and the young lady was sobbing silently. Her clothes was in a mess and I could see sticky liquid dripping from somewhere I don't want to mention.

I stood there and my brain was working calculating everything that could happen if I should try to save the lady but I know I was no match for the men in front of me. No matter how I think about it, I just don't have the strength to fight them head on.

I looked around to see if there was anything I could use to engage them and I saw a baseball bat lying on the floor which will definitely belong to one of the dickheads in front of me.

I picked it up and and walked stealthy towards the man closest to me who was the man with his pants down and I swung it at his head as hard as I could and I heard the sound of bone breaking and he fell down to the floor unmoving but I didn't know if he was dead or not and neither did I care.

My action gained the attention of the men holding the lady down and they came at me at once.

I was still composed even as I saw both of them coming at me. With the shit I have faced in life, nothing has the qualification to make me lose my cool. Throughout the whole exchange I never said a word. All I did was to just swing the bat in my hand.

I arched my back and ran forward swinging the baseball bat in my hand towards one of them with all my might and I hit a home run. He fell to the dead with his condition unknown, I turned and faced the other man and his facial expression was terrible to the extreme.

I could see his expression changing from shock to anger and then to total madness with bloodlust in his eyes. I snickered at his expression and raised the baseball bat to his face as a form of challenge and then he completely lost it.

He charged at me without reserve with the very intention of taking my life and I did the same. In an instant we were at each other face, he swung his hand in a punch towards me and I very well knew that if I took that punch head on I wouldn't survive.

I dodged it by moving my slightly away from him and I managed to get behind him, immediately I swung the baseball bat towards his head but I heard something like a gunshot immediately it collided with his head.

My body lost its strength and I fell to the ground with a thud and there was a bloody hole in my chest.

My vision dimmed and I couldn't hear anything. I didn't know if the man was dead or not, all I hoped for was the lady to run far away from this place as fast as she can.

My surroundings turned dark and everywhere was deathly silent. For the first time in a long time I felt at peace and free from every thought that has been bothering me.

I felt like I finally found the peace of mind I have been wanting for a while now.

My surroundings was dark for a very long time but after sometime I could hear indistinct voices coming from somewhere, I didn't know where it came from but I could hear it.

The darkness started brightening up and the voices were becoming clearer and clearer to me.

The darkness was no more and what hit my face was a dimly lit room filled with middle aged women and I could hear the joyful cries and laughter around me.

"Wow, he's so handsome. My lady must be blessed by the heavens." A voice beside me said and I could see a middle aged woman ogling around me with happiness on her face.

After listening to the conversation of the ladies in the room I got to know that I was now in the body of a baby.

I mean I got reincarnated as a baby, at least I am a human and a boy in my present life and it is kind of convenient.

Nothing can be done about it, all that's left is to live my present life to the fullest and what I deduce from the ladies conversation was that I'm a noble now and my family is one of the most influential if not the most influential family behind the royal family and I have no competition in my family as I am the only child of my parents.

Not that I care about my current family wealth but after the shit I went through in my previous life, I don't want to face it again if I have the chance and as luck would have it and with pluses, no family political strife. Damn what a luxury.

My current father is a Duke and a well respected individual in the country even though he's not in politics and that is another plus for me.

My mother is a beautiful woman who gets men drooping whenever she walks by, I must say that for a woman like her. She definitely beautiful to the extreme.

This is what I would call a perfect perfect family and just like every other noble household we have many maids and servants working for us.

After I was born, the house was full of festivities and celebration. Everyone was in high spirits and joy was in the air. All I did was to eat and sleep and yeah poop as an ideal child that I was.

"Honey, did you notice how strange our boy is?. He doesn't cry or give trouble and he's very quiet, if not too quiet." A beautiful looking woman said to the man beside her.

"I don't see anything strange and if I'm to be honest. I like Edward the way he is." The man replied.

" Martel you say this because you're not a mother. The mother is the closest to their children and we sometimes feel what they feel and I'm telling you that Edward always gives me a strange feeling. Like he knows what he's doing every time and I can't help but worry." The mother of our main character Edward said to her husband.

"May, You're just overthinking things. No matter what Edward knows, he's still our son and that's what that matters" Martel replied to his wife.

The woman looked at him and kept quiet. She decided that what her husband said was right and she was the one overthinking things.

No matter what happens, Edward will always be her son and that's what matters.

It's been eight months since I was born and I can now walk and talk.

I have started learning about the word I was reincarnated into and it's a regular world but with magic.

My family is located in the Kingdom of Ameria and it's being ruled by the Hughes family who have been in power for millennials.

The power system in this is something I don't quite understand but I'm not bothered because 8 have no plan for world domination and neither do I want to stand out too much.

Just taking things at a normal speed will do it for me.
