Chapter 2 (1/2)

CHAPTER 2

A bright light suddenly poured out in the dark of the night.

My spirit has been floating in the dark for quite a long time, this was quite an unexpected situation. My eyes couldn’t adjust when a bright light poured out in the darkness.

‘What the hell?’

Am I finally going to heaven or hell? Whether it be heaven or hell, I have to be reincarnated to get my revenge.

My eyes that were closed for a very long time slowly opened.

I saw a ceiling.

‘Huh?’

What, that ceiling is terrifyingly high.

Who made a house this high? I’d have to fly just to light a candle on that ceiling. Was it possible because I’m in the afterlife?

‘I don’t think I was born as a giant.’

I moved my arms to get up. To be exact, I tried to support myself on the bed with my arms but something was short.

“Bu?”

Bu? What the hell is bu?

I swung my arms in the air and I saw a chubby arm that was like an octopus tentacle. My mouth opened in embarrassment as both of my arms swayed.

“Abuuth?”

Ah, who’s the one who kept making this noise…!

“Abu, bu! Buu!”

Oh… Nyaa…?

Why did it feel like it was very close. This voice. This unbelievable voice. Whose voice was it?

And this extremely embarrassing slow body. I can’t even talk properly…

It’s as if I was a child…?

‘Eh?’

Eyy, that’s impossible.

‘Did I really reincarnate?’

No, there’s no way that it could be true.

Besides, if I was reincarnated then wouldn’t it be strange that I still retained my memories? That’s scary.

Or… Perhaps I was lucky to be alive and I’m just having difficulties with my body…!

“Oh-hyu!”

At that moment, a huge face appeared over the bed.

“Abuuack!”

Oh my gosh! That was shocking!

That was a huge face. No, was I small?

Was it something like a giant? Or was I really a baby? I couldn’t talk and I couldn’t move… was I really a child who couldn’t do anything?

“You are being noisy, just keep this in your mouth.”

The woman looked like a maid. She put something in my mouth as she pulled the covers and started dusting right next to me.

Dust, dust…… Dust!!

“Ahpoo!”

I sneezed loudly.

No, was this how you handle a kid? Weren’t kids the nation’s most valuable assets? Didn’t you know how precious a young sorcerer is?

No, which house would hire a maid like her…?

“Is it really true that I would watch over the child this week? I can’t believe it.”

‘…The Empire’s language?’

Chup, chup, I sucked hard at what was in my mouth as I tilted my head.

Cillophia would not hire someone that speaks the Empire’s language. The common language used in Cillophia was the ancient language.

The Empire’s language has its own distinctive tone and accent for each and every country. In particular, her accent was unique to the Empire and its outskirts.

Chup, chup.

Omg, my arms moved.

I was finally able to move it a bit.

I struggled very hard just to turn myself over. I used all of the strength in my arms and legs to raise myself up.

My head was a bit heavy so it repeatedly dropped forward.

Chup, chup, I sucked hard at my pacifier as I grabbed the bars on the baby bed. It felt like I was in jail since I couldn’t get out but I could still see the outside.

‘Ho, I really became a baby……?’

I couldn’t get rid of this feeling of faintness as I suck on my pacifier.

‘My… Life!’

All my life I have been working diligently, did I finally come to live a comfortable life. How could this even happen?

I was a dried up skinny kid who lost everything. The oppression has filled me with anger.

I shook my limbs, grabbed my hair from my shaking head and buried myself on the bed as I denied my reality.

After trying to deny my reality for quite some time, I slowly lifted my head and looked around.

‘……Why is it so empty?’

All I had in this empty room was a crib and an old unused bed. There were no decorations, no vases, and even people weren’t present. The only person was the maid who was dusting beside me.

“Oh my, what’s this? Did you turn just now? But you’re still a half-blood…”

Oh no. It seems like I was born in a troublesome family. But no matter how I look at it I was far from being a newborn?

Don’t tell me I wasn’t even reincarnated? What month and year was it now?

‘Am I in the Empire?’

Of all the places, why was it the Empire.

There were a lot of places that use the language of the Empire, but the first thing that would come to mind when hearing this particular accent was the Heiron Empire.

It seems like I was born in a humble family…

‘The room seems fitting.’

I wouldn’t know either way.

What’s important right now was that I am alive and I have my memories.

That, and I know that I’m stuck in a crib and I am not treated very well.

Earlier it felt like I was a bit dazed but now I could feel myself getting dizzy.

I sucked hard as I felt the dizziness threaten me. My grip was slowly getting loose as my hands became weak so I let go of what I was holding.

Standing on all fours was my limit. My legs shook and my body trembled as soon as I relaxed.

I ended up lying on my stomach.

‘I won’t be able to move around like this.’

In the first place, where am I? I want to collect more information.

‘No way, you’re not telling me that they’ll continue to keep me here, right?’
