Rebirth

0002

When the light faded, the genie heard voices. However, his vision is blurry.

Furthermore, the voices that he was hearing is not that clear. They were fuzzy.

However, in the next second, a gentle face of a woman with a gentle smile appeared in his blurry vision. At the same time, he heard a sweet voice.

"Little one, you shall be called Rainier. Although this name did not have a meaning, in particular, it is the name that your father wants you to have."

The woman's tears fell like rain from the sky.

Little Rainier looked at the lady.

He could feel an inexplicable bond with her. It was as if they were of the same origin.

"Are you my mom?" Rainier asked.

However, the only voice that came out of his mouth is the 'goooh wah' sound of a baby's talk.

But as simple as it seems, this made the lady smile.

"You're indeed my mom."

Little Rainier thought inwardly.

The sight of his mom in front of him made little Rainier comfortable.

It was as if his greatest guardian is in front of him.

All his trouble (although he still has none) had gone.

Meanwhile, the more he looked at his mother, the more his vision become clearer.

Although this is not normal for a newborn baby, this is possible because Rainier, the genie, had a powerful soul that was tempered for countless years.

"You're Rainier Stormcast. You will rise like the clouds and you will shower your might into this world."

The tears of his mother fell once more.

However, this time, little Rainier could tell that it is not because of joy.

Rather, it is because of sorrow.

Not only that, but Rainier could also feel a hint of hatred within his mother's eyes.

"Mother, who do you hate?" Rainier asked.

However, all that came out of his mouth is the sound of baby's talk.

"Father, it's time. Please take little Rainier," Rainier's mother said.

Then, an old man appeared in his vision and took him away from her mother.

However, little Rainier did not cry. Instead, he looked at the man.

Little Rainier could not feel a sense of danger from the man. However, he is not as comfortable as when he is in his mother's arms.

"Father, please, raise little Rainier into a fine man."

Alisa looked at his father.

"Alisa, I, Jack, will raise my grandson into a fine man. All ladies will chase after him."

At least before they left, little Rainier learned the name of his mother.

"Alisa…" he pronounced inwardly.

"Father!"

Before they could get away Alisa called Jack one last time.

She then took a gem and threw it towards them which turned into a ray of light that flew towards little Rainier and was embedded deep in his soul.

"Alisa…"

Seeing it, the old man Jack's tears fell.

"Father, don't just cry there. Take little Rainier away before it's too late."

With that, Jack came to his senses and rode a horse.

Alisa looked at them until she could no longer see them.

"Little Rainier, I may not be able to see you grow. However, with my twin soul, I can ensure that you will become strong."

At this moment, the time that she had anticipated had come.

From amidst her soul, a voice resonated.

"You finally gave up, huh? Thanks to you cutting off your twin soul, I am freed."

The voice sounded sinister.

It was as if it was owned by the darkest and the evilest creature in this world.

"Pielzur, don't act as if you have the last laugh."

"Hahaha! Alisa, the reason why you can seal me is because of your twin soul. But now that you have given it to your son… hehe!"

Alisa did not retort.

It was indeed as the evil voice said. She can only seal the voice because of her twin soul.

However, Alisa did not regret anything.

Giving his twin soul might take her life, but she did not regret it.

"All for my son."

"Your son, hehe. I will take over your body and 'take care' of your son." The voice replied.

The voice then started attacking her soul to take over her body.

However, Alisa is not worried.

Instead, she closed his eyes.

"I'm sorry dear, I can't watch our son grow."

Alisa's tears fell like a river.

Her husband died for her and their son. However, her husband's death did not secure everything for them.

In the end, she was possessed by an evil soul. Now, she had to sacrifice her life for her son.

But at least, she would be reunited with her husband.

"Explode!"

With that, the floor lit up.

"What? When did you put an array here?"

Indeed, it was an array that lit up. However, this array was not put by Alisa herself.

It was placed by Jack.

If it was Alisa who placed it here, Pielzur would have done something to tamper with the array.

"Do you think you're wiser than me?"

After Alisa said that, a loud explosion sounded and formed a mushroom in the sky.

Indeed, the explosion is as strong as a nuclear bomb. However, it did not have radioactive shockwaves.

But the damage is still terrifying.

…

A month later, Jack and little rainier had crossed many cities and various countries and finally arrived at the kingdom of St Ellies.

This kingdom is not that big. However, it has everything that its people needed.

Furthermore, it is prosperous despite being unable to compare to the other cities.

Meanwhile, along their journey, the old man Jack did not have anything to feed little Rainier.

However, he had a hunger pill with him.

Whoever took the hunger pill will not be hungry for a long time.

Of course, the old man Jack did not feed little Rainier the whole pill. He only gave a small part of it.

Meanwhile, the old man Jack knew that the hunger pill did not have nutrients. Hence, he was giving his mana to little Rainier.

And the most fascinating thing is that little Rainier did not seem to reject it.

Little Rainier will absorb all the mana that the old man Jack would give him.

If little Rainier is already an adult, the old man Jack would find it normal. However, little Rainier is just a baby. A one-month-old baby.

"Old man Jack, long time no see."

When Jack is about to enter the gate of St. Ellies' capital city, the Holy City, he was greeted by an old man.

From little Rainier's point of view, the two old men looked exactly the same.

If the other old man is wearing the same clothes as old man Jack, little Rainier would have thought that they were the same person.

"Are your grandpa Jack's brothers?" Little Rainier politely asked.

However, just like the other times, the only sound that came out of little Rainier's mouth is baby talk.

"Hahaha! Dominic, my brother, it has been a long time, indeed."

"Who is this fine man? Your son? Hahaha! The blood of the royal family is indeed vigorous. Old age cannot hinder you from impregnating a lady."

When old man Jack heard this, his forehead went black.

"Fuck you, old man. This is my grandson."

Of course, Dominic knew it.

However, that did not stop him from teasing the brother whom he had not seen for a long time.

"Hahaha, how's Alisa?" he asked.

However, Jack did not say anything. Instead, he only shook his head.

"I see, come, I will give you the title of a Holy guardian."

Old man Dominic knew the answer based on Jack's reaction. Hence, he could only give him a back door into the higher hierarchy of the kingdom.

Although old man Dominic is no longer the one seated on the throne of the St. Ellies, he is still in power.

On the same day, old man Dominic put little Rainier in the crib and instructed some of his trusted maids to look after the little man.

Hence, little Rainier's days passed while he was in the crib. Sometimes, he would be carried by his nanny that old man Jack had found.

"Little Rainier, look at the clouds."

At this moment, the nanny carried little Rainier again sightseeing.

Meanwhile, as if little Rainier understand it, which he did, he looked at the clouds and admired the scenery from the mortal's perspective.

Is this what the world really looked like?

How come I did not find this beautiful back at the time?

For a long time, the nanny and baby duo stared at the clouds.

The two of them were both fascinated by the view.

The clouds seemed to be moving slowly. However, if they look at it close up, the clouds are moving at an insane speed.

Of course, little Rainier is aware of that.

"Gooh Gaah." (Nanny, the clouds looked beautiful, right?)

As if the nanny understood little Rainier, he replied.

"The clouds looked beautiful, indeed."

The nanny paused for a while before continuing.

"The clouds are the symbol of freedom. They fly as to where the wind would carry them. At the same time, they could be shaped into anything. If they have too much burden, they would simply release it without worries."
