In The Beginning C2 Reborn
🕑 Added 2023-12-05 12:57:16 +0000 UTCI wake up to realize that this time, I can feel my body, but simultaneously, I can't help but notice that it feels noticeably smaller.
I see my tiny hands through my eyesight and couldn't help thinking, "I've been reborn!"
Indeed, I've become a baby. As time elapses, I can only cry when hungry, and then a beautiful young woman, seemingly my mother, feeds me with, well, some milk...
Cough! As a baby, I don't experience any sexual feelings at all...
Yeah... But I'm having thoughts, you know?
With time, I gradually learn the language of this world I've been reborn into and meet various people, like our maid, Susan. Also, my mother, Astasia, though I've heard Susan and the servants around the house refer to her as Lady Astasia.
The only reason I know my mother's name is because she constantly reminds me, saying things like, 'I'm your respectable mother, Astasia.'
In this seemingly vast mansion of ours, I've encountered numerous servants. Initially, I wondered if I'd been reborn into a royal family in this world. However, as I gradually grasp the language, I can't help but notice that this world is quite different from what I initially thought...
It's not in the mortal realm; from my observations over the past few weeks, I've realized I'm in the world of the gods—or better yet, the Realm of the Gods.
Yes, I've been reborn into a world of gods.
Initially, hearing about it made my mind reel, but I convinced myself that everything would be alright. There shouldn't be any harm in a world where the gods reside.
This place is perilous, though. It might be extremely dangerous for a human—or wait, now that I'm reborn, I'm not exactly human anymore, am I?
Now it makes sense why I can comprehend words so quickly and even started walking early. I remember when I learned to walk, expecting many, including my new mother, to be utterly shocked to see a few weeks old baby walking. However, my expectations shattered as they looked at me as if it were just your average Joe strolling.
"I'm a freaking few weeks old baby walking, damn it! I deserve some of your reactions!" That's what I'm thinking. But besides my mother patting me on the head, even the servants at the residence didn't find anything peculiar about a baby walking like an adult.
After I gradually understand and fully comprehend the language of this world a few days later, I overhear the servants talking among themselves, "Look! That's young master Matthew! It was said that the young master was only able to walk after a few weeks..."
"A few weeks?" *Snorted* "Hmph! I could already walk just a few hours after I was born! What a weak god—"
"Silence! If Lady Astasia hears you, you'll be done for!"
"Why? I'm just telling the truth... I could already talk after a day I was born—"
"I know! But please don't converse with me too much, or I'll be involved in your mess!"
Hearing that the servants were actually mocking me, I felt a heartache...
'And here I am, pretending not to walk after a few days I was born to avoid shocking everyone too much, only deciding to reveal myself walking after a few weeks!'
As I pondered that, I couldn't help but grit my teeth. Thanks to my current body's abnormal growth, I've developed small yet complete baby teeth.
But enough about that! I know the people in this world don't care about a baby walking within a few weeks of being born or the abnormal growth. If anything, this world might mock a baby for only being able to walk a few weeks after birth or just growing small complete baby teeth.
Argh! I'm just so frustrated!
Anyway, let's move on to our background check...
From what I've heard so far, my mother is a noble, and my father is a powerful god with some influence in this kingdom. Not only that, my father has a few wives—a clear indication of his strength as a god.
Yet, despite all this, I haven't even caught a glimpse of my father since I was born...
Only after a month and a few weeks did I hear from some servants that my mother, Lady Astasia, was the least favorite wife of Kastir Eclipse Luminaire, my father.
Wondering how I know my father's full name? Well, at times, my mother would mention my father's full name and her own full name to me.
Her full name was Astasia Cross Luminaire...
From that, I can expect my name to be Matthew Cross Luminaire.
Not too shabby, if I say so myself.
Anyway, from what I've discreetly gathered so far from the servants in our quarters, my father seemed to harbor disdain for me...
That's right...
My father was disdainful of me...
I still remember the mocking words of the servants ringing in my ears. Another set of taunts reached my ears right when I was lost in deep thoughts, "Sigh... Such a pitiful young god... Already being rejected by his father... Where can he get his [Fatherly] blessings now?"
"Sigh... What can you expect? Our young master Matthew hasn't even been able to talk after a month and a few weeks."
"Yeah... I can only say that the talent of our young lord is very low..."
"Yeah... I can only say that he might not even be able to gain a supporter in the mortal world."
"Shh! The lady and especially the young lord might hear you!"
"Don't worry, we are talking via telepathy, and the skill we're using is even difficult for great gods to discern our conversation!"
"Well... The young lady might have some artifact to know our conversation..."
"Don't worry! Not to mention the lady, even Lord Kastir won't know... Especially not for such an untalented god like our young lord Matthew!"
"I guess you're right..."
Hearing the servants' conversation, I initially wondered how lowly servants could discuss the family affairs and drama of the Luminaire family so audibly, but after realizing they were conversing with their minds, not even my mother could know what they were talking about, it all made sense.
"No wonder... Wait! If I can hear their voice or thoughts conversation via telepathy, shouldn't my mother be able to hear it too?" I couldn't help but think.
But considering it, my mother acted normally and didn't seem aware that the servants were talking about her or her child.
"Maybe it's my ability as a god?"
