2 Chapter 2 (1/2)
Shen Yue suddenly jolted awake. Disorientated, he looked around at his surroundings. Well, he tried to; he could barely move.
”Shit, now I know why I received so many points for starting as a baby, this is going to suck!” Grumbled She Yue to himself, as that was who he was now; the unknown, scruffy 33-year-old plebe had ceased to be. Before he could do more than wiggle, a blue screen popped up in front of his face.

”Holly shit balls! I nearly had to spend six months inside my mother, that would have developed all kinds of mental illness. Thankfully I didn't piss him off, it will be bad enough being a baby. Looks like there was more involved with making that deal, but as the only God to actually offer me something, I guess I don't mind working for him, I did get a pretty sweet deal. Hmm, all the perks seem to be in order, but God damn it, I should have changed my character! Not a total loss, the Sacred Family is in a position to collect books from a lot of sources. Since I can't do squat until I can walk, I will just have to spend my time plotting and revising the storyline. I won't have need of my ring until I gain more freedom.” Were his thoughts as he drifted off to sleep, a baby's body was not ideal to house an active mind.
Six years later and Shen Yue was over trying to not attract too much attention to himself. His main goal was to draw as little attention to himself as possible, although that would change once his soul real was measured at eight, he didn't want to draw his father's attention. But now he was at his limit!
During these extremely frustrating years, Shen Yue had realized he had overlooked a few things when planning his future.
-Language – It was only thanks to his library that he could read, write and speak the language.
-Being a baby sucked the balls – Lying in your own shit and piss was only tolerable when you were drunk and not able to notice it. As a baby unable to move it was a constant cycle of tit sucking and shitting his nappy.
-Toddlers have no rights – No one cares if you want to go to the library, alchemy room or learn inscriptions. You are too young and thus treated like the child you are. After the first beating from Shen Hong, his loving dad, Shen Yue realized not to push the boundaries. A man willing to wipe out the last known human civilization because he was not the city lord, was not a man you want to fuck with.
-Shen Fei was a little bitch – Although he never actually messed with Shen Yue, he was a spoilt little shit craving daddy's affection. Not that he could really blame the poor bugger as he was born into a psychopathic family; but he wanted nothing to do with Shen Yue. He was four years older than him and was on track to being the loser portrayed in the book. Shen Yue had originally planned to use him to get him books but that didn't work out at all.
-Hired help – Shen Yue thought he could get minions early on, but it turns out that they take orders from the father, not the child. Fear of Shen Hong was far greater than the pitiful pleading of a cute little shit factory.
-A library is a sacred place – Being from Earth where the majority of information was free and easily accessible, Shen Yue had forgotten that here, knowledge was power and heavily restricted. All scrolls and books were handwritten and treated with the utmost care, to let a child in there, even one of the heirs was unthinkable.
