CHAPTER 2 : REBORN

As I crossed over, a brilliant violet light greeted me. When I gazed upwards, I found myself surrounded by a vast expanse of purple elements that stretched as far as the eye could see. Despite knowing that it had led to my untimely demise in the past...I was still mesmerized by the breathtaking sight. I reached out to touch the elements, but before I could, the sea shifted instead drowning me in purple elements.

'Huh?' A feeling of crisis immerged from my now ethereal heart.

The next instant, I saw the scene change before me. In a small house, a newborn boy took his first breath and was christened Arthur Lewin by his doting parents. This child possessed an insatiable curiosity, and remarkable intelligence, and stood out from his peers.

I saw how he learned to crawl, How he learned to read and tried to comprehend that element which they called mana. I saw how he formed his mana core and in the process, destroyed his whole house.

Even though I was immensely fascinated with mana, my mind was not in my control at the moment, I couldn't even think properly. It was full of these....visions? as if they were being projected directly into my brain.

I saw the boy's whole life, and at last, he was killed by a half-blood called Cadell Vritra. Or so I thought.

The scene changed again, taking me to his days in relictombs, his time as a professor in alcyra. And finally, the vision stopped when he took the portal to dicathen after escaping from the legacy as what they call her. At this moment

"Aaahhhhh," A soul-piercing pain came from my head. It felt like my brain got overloaded. The scenes were just too many and it hurt like a b***h to see them all at once. After a while, when the pain subsided a little, I looked ahead and saw a purple thread coming out of Arthur's head and going into mine, wondering what it was for.

Just when I was just about to reach out to the thread, it suddenly began trembling violently, I panicked thinking if it was my fault. After what felt like a minute, the thread broke from the middle. And as if some kind of plug was turned off, darkness enveloped my sight and I fell unconscious.

I don't know how much time had passed but I gradually regained consciousness and tried to open my eyes, but this time it was a lot harder compared to the last one.

After an unknown amount of time, I started to hear some voices but they were not that clear.

The voices around me became clearer and I could finally hear what was around me "Congratulations Sir and Madame it's a healthy boy."

Even though the language seemed unfamiliar but I found out that I could still...somewhat understand it. It was the language that I just learned from the visions earlier. No! not learned, it was literally imprinted into my head.

My focus lingered on the words he just said, and realization finally struck me as my eyes nearly popped out of my sockets.

'Wait, what? This doesn't make any sense. What does this mean? A healthy boy? Me? I thought panicking and tried to move my hands but in vain. My motor control was almost non-existent. I wanted to move my hands but all I got was a slight flail.'

But then...I was reminded of the visions I saw earlier and...got a gust of what had happened to me. Nevertheless, the reality was a little hard to believe however being a 30-year-old scientist in the past life, I quickly composed my thoughts.

"Oww, he's looking for his mama already", A man said from my right. Turning my head in his direction I saw a huge smile on his well-shaved face. His hair was light brown, coupled with his blue eyes, he looked in his late twenties. His hand reached out for me. I didn't feel any malice in his expression so I just relaxed and let him do whatever he wanted and even if he had some evil thoughts, I don't think I could do anything about it.

"Hello there, son. I'm your father, haha, look darling, he looks so cute?" the man said, followed by a slight giggle.

"Let me take a look at him, Mike", a honey-tinted voice said. I looked up as I saw myself being transferred from one embrace to another. The sight of the woman holding me came into view. Long silver hair fell on her face, and a few beads of sweat still lingered on her forehead. Her face was beautifully sculpted. Her emerald eyes looked at me with a feeling I have felt only from my mother on earth.she radiated pure motherly affection. She looked like she was in her early twenties.

From looking around a little, I could tell from the technology in this room that I was in dicathen I saw in that vision. As I tried to recall other things I felt nerve-racking pain coming from my head. That's when I realised it. I had reincarnated into a newborn. The amount of thinking I had done in the little time after coming out was more than even an average person can handle. For the first time in hopes of feeling something that I never felt before I let myself fall into a deep slumber while remaining in the warm embrace of the woman who's my mother now.
