Beginning of my new life

The next time I open my eyes I instantly regret it. When I open my eyes I get blinded by a pure white light that just seems to be getting brighter as time passes. After what feels like hours, I feel a cold wind pass through my whole body.

Looking around I could barely make out anything, it was as if I was cross eyed. Trying to make out everything as best I can, I see what seems to be a male doctor holding me. To his left I see a man with a big beard that seems to go to the end of his torso and a gigantic woman next to him.

Seeing if I can find anything else, I see a woman on the bed who must have just given birth to me. It was hard to tell but it seemed as if she had fear in her eyes? But why would she be scared?

The next thing that happened took me by surprise. The man who I assume is my father speaks with blood lust emanating off of him.

"Thank you for birthing a son for me, but you know how it is. I didn't love you and you only had one purpose, to give birth until I got a son. It was a shame that I had to marry you, but I got to make sure that I keep appearances. Well you have no more purposes left, Mildred if you would do me the honors."

"Gladly." The woman standing next to my father said. Who seems to be smiling, ugh it's so hard to tell with this blurry vision.

The next moment my mother was about to scream when Mildred appeared right next to her and slit her throat while covering her mouth. I could barely make out her screams but I could see her struggling. But due to just giving birth her body was extremely weak so she could barely put up a fight.

And like this I vowed in my heart that these two would not get away with what they had just done to my mother. Even though I didn't get to know her, no one deserves to be treated like this.

1 year and a couple months have passed since my birth and I have found out some things. I am the first born son of the Wright family, a merchant family and also the second highest noble ranking family.

Not only that but apparently my dad, who I found out is named Hayden and a dwarf, has 4 wives including my mother. Apparently his first wife who was a human was barren and couldn't have any children so my father looked to find someone who was similar looking to her so he could have a child and pass them off as her child.

His other wives seem to be actually loved by him but not as much as he loves his first wife. It also seems that everyone is being told that my mother died during childbirth and wanted Mildred to raise me as if she were my real mother. They were also told to never mention that Mildred is not my real mother.

I have not just been sitting here and doing nothing but listening to gossip. I know I can't do much so I looked at my status and tried to level up my magic as much as I can. I decided to open my status to see how far I have come.

Looking at my status I see that my lighting finally broke through to I class. It seems to me that my strength is so low that it can't even be measured. And what I have gathered I class is the lowest then it goes up alphabetically to A class then to S class with - and + in between each rank.

I chose to level up my air magic first since it can't be seen when I use it so I can level it up whenever I can. To level up my lightning magic I use it in my body like, to increase my thinking compatibility or increase my senses. With my non elemental magic, it is hard to practice since some of the magic will be seen when I practice it. The only things I practice is [magic sense], [search] and slight [augmentation].

Not only increasing my magic I have started speaking and walking. Though it may be normal to talk and walk at this age, I have fake not being able to talk well and fall every once in a while to not give off a Guinness impression too much.

Since I will have to get revenge for my mother I need to be perceived as smart to get special privileges to be able to learn more and faster. But I can't be seen as too smart that I can be seen as a threat or someone was planning something. After seeing my father I can tell he is a cautious and cunning man.

Good thing I was good at acting and persuading others in my other life. I will act like I am an innocent but very bright child who loves his parents. While I will secretly plan my revenge and gain support by any means necessary.

And like this a couple more years and months have passed until it was now the morning of my 5th birthday of this new but crazy life.
