Chapter 2: A Broken New Family (1/2)
A vast blanket of white hung heavily over the scenery. The white fog suffocated every corner of my eyesight; swallowing, erasing, eradicating everything in sight. Was I dreaming?
The next time I regained consciousness, I found myself in an unknown house. It was a simple house like the ones you would see in a village, littered with wooden furniture all around. The white hospital bed was now replaced by a simple mattress lying on a wooden bed frame. I felt the warmness of a hug as I laid there in a daze.
“Where am I?” was the first thought that came to mind as my eyes slowly opened. However, I didn’t have much time to consider that question before a pair of warm hands cradled me up to someone’s chest.
My eyes blinked and then squinted in an attempt to make out the identity of the hands’ owner. It was a handsome blond youth of around 20 years old, sporting a choppy layered hairstyle. He wore clothes made of a low grade cloth material similar to linen. However thanks to his handsome face, he didn’t look like a peasant.
“cat$#$%D^^#$” (Honey, why isn’t our son crying?)
What did he say? Sounds like a foreign language. This is kind of depressing. Boy, with 35 years of age beneath my belt, I’m your senior. Show me some respect will you? If you are going to communicate with me, you should at least use Mandarin.
“cat^&^%fd7$”(Honey, our son isn’t crying…Is he born stupid?)
The man continued speaking in that damnable foreign tongue while his arm swooped into my blindspot. The next moment, I was hanging upside down in the air by my left leg.With my new airborne position, I finally caught sight of the person who was hugging me on the bed.
It was a long blue haired lady who was at most 20 years of age. She laid there, hair plastered to her face, a drained look upon her. However, her sickly countenance did nothing to hide her charms. She was a beautiful lady with an attractive oval face and a milky white complexion. If you asked me, she was better than Miss Sola Aoi and Miss Ran Asakawa combined…Wait that’s not right…I definitely didn’t know any Sola Aoi or Ran Asakawa! (Popular Japanese Adult Video Stars)
While I was admiring this work of art, my butt felt a stinging pain. Did I just get spanked?
My butt was definitely facing that boy so only he could spank me…Wait, why did I get spanked? Where is this place? Isn’t this Earth? And why am I so small? I’m a freaking 35 year old Wizard/Sage!
*slap slap!*
Hey hey, stop hitting me. Exactly when do you plan on stopping!It’s not my fault my ass is pointing at you!
How humiliating…I feel like crying… My face scrunched up, tears glistening in my eyes; I was about to cry.
“potato^%&*” (Morran, stop hitting him. The boy looks like he is about to cry.)
“$%#$%FSD&” (Is that true? Crying is the norm though. Not being able to cry is the problem.)
The boy finally placed me back on the bed and looked at my crying, scrunched up face. He then flashed me a damnable smile.
My memory stopped at the point where the truck sent me flying so I wasn’t aware of what happened in the interim. Did those two brats get saved? After flinging and kicking them that far, the truck shouldn’t have been able to hit them right?
But why am I a baby? Hmm…well this isn’t too bad either. At least I’m not dead, and with a fresh start to boot. But this family seems kind of poor. Their house was made of wood and they are still using oil lamps. Don’t tell me this is a farming village…
After a week in this foreign place, I still wasn’t sure if I was in an alternate world or not. My “parents” aka the couple hugging me with a silly look on their face, could also be citizens of a remote foreign country. We had never left this hut and there were no visitors either so I couldn’t confirm the existence of any of the usual telltale signs such as magic or fighter’s aura.
My parents were a couple of normal people who spent their lives doing normal things like hugging me, housework, hugging me etc. etc. My dad, Morran, was your average hard-working handsome male farmer. He left at the crack of dawn and came back exhausted after a day of working the fields.
The couple loved to sandwich me while sleeping. Perhaps it was due to Rhona’s recent childbirth, but neither of them were worried that I had that sort of interest. Thanks to that, I got a little excited…No wait, I’m not excited, I was anxious. Anxious that those two potatoes would roll onto me while sleeping and flatten me.
I had already settled on a name I wanted: Mo Ke. In order to retain my naming rights, I would call out[Mo ke, Mo ke, Mo ke] whenever I was in front of Rhona.
After a few days it seemed to have worked. Rhona would call out [Mo ke] whenever she wanted to summon me.
As for this young couple, they had a lot to learn. However, educating them would come later. After all, I’m still a baby. Since the heavens have given me a second chance, ending up as a lonely loser is not an option. I must set up my own harem! Using my two lifetimes of memories, I will create the greatest empire in history!
Five months after my birth, fate took a cruel turn.
While they were inexperienced as parents due to their young age, they truly cared for me and treasured me. This was the first taste of parental love that I had not experienced in a long time.
