Chapter 45: Hugs and Tears

"Dad, can you call mom, I need to tell you both something." Aatrox said in the most serious voice he had used ever since he came into this world.

In the early days he had come into this world, he still felt like just an intruder who had dominated the body of a teenager. But now, after absorbing some of Benjamin's memories, Aatrox has begun to love his family and has begun to feel part of this world, just like Benjamin.

Amanda left the children playing in the tub while she was worried to know what had happened and was so important that the two most important men in her life were so serious. After Alex told her what he had asked Benjamin, Amanda understood and also turned serious.

"So… I don't really know where to start, it may seem like a lot of nonsense, but basically, since I've been in a coma, it's like I've lived another life. No knowledge of this one here. In this life, I was overwhelmed by a bloodthirsty sword, where I learned to cultivate and grew stronger and stronger. After becoming the strongest being in that universe, I was killed while I was at my weakest moment and woke up here." Aatrox said as he kept his head down in fear of their reaction.

"So... Have you lived in another world with no one beside you?" Amanda asked in a low voice.

"Yes... I only had my sword as my companion." Aatrox answered in a low tone a little worried.

"And did you get hurt a lot there? Alex asked as he approached.

"Sometimes I had a few limbs cut off, but I managed to recover. Unfortunately last time I couldn't protect myself and died without even knowing it. Aatrox responded while tightening his fists.

But what he expected did not happen. Amanda and Alex hugged him on either side and held him tight in their tight embrace. Neither of the three said anything for five minutes until Aatrox asked. "Why? Why are you treating me so well? I've lived somewhere so long, and you still accept me, love me?" He asked confused.

"Son, that word I've just said has a power that you can't imagine. If you told us this before you taught us about magic, we probably wouldn't believe it, but now that you have shown us this world, we can only imagine the dangers you have experienced during that time. Imagining that you died makes my heartache. No matter what you went through, you will still be our son and we will love you as we always love you, even if you have experienced this adventure, you will still be our son." Amanda said with tears in her eyes as she hugged Aatrox even tighter.

Alex said nothing, but the tears welling up in his eyes as he tightened his hold on her, too, showed Aatrox how much he cared.

Aatrox unconsciously began to cry. Crying for real, but for happiness. He lived for so many years and no one ever cared if he was alive if he was fine, but his parents, while not quite sure what happened, showed such concern that Aatrox couldn't hold back the tears of such happiness.

"I love you." Aatrox said as he hugged them tightly as well.

"We love you too, son." Alex said with a smile returning the hug.

"From now on I want you to avoid these dangerous things. I want my child to have a normal life again." Amanda said as she tried to control herself.

"Mother... I don't think I'll ever be able to have a normal life again, but I'll do anything to keep myself safe for you. Aatrox said with regret. He knew that when someone started on the path of cultivation, there was no turning back.

After a few minutes just enjoying the moment, Amanda heard the children calling her out of the bath as they were too excited to watch anime with their brother. Amanda quickly wiped the tears from her face and went to help the children finish.

Alex and Aatrox went to the kitchen and shared a glass of juice just enjoying each other's presence.

When they finished the glass of juice, Aatrox saw Bryan and Bruna running with a tablet in hand so they could watch the anime together.

"Come on brother! Let's start on episode one, I'll bet you'll love it." Bryan said excitedly.

"Alright, let's watch." Aatrox said smiling as he went with the kids to his room and turned on the tablet on the television so they could watch together lying on his bed.

"What are they so excited about?" Alex asked as he held Amanda in his arms.

"The kids want Aatrox to watch that blond boy anime, " Amanda replied as she snuggled into her husband's arms.

"Hmm, I hope Benjamin likes it since we can't keep watching with the kids," Alex said after sighing.

...

Upstairs, Aatrox had just turned on his tablet on the television and was lying under a large deck, with Bruna lying on one side and Bryan lying on the other side of him, clearly very excited.

"Twelve years ago, a nine-tailed fox suddenly appeared,

The movements of its tails crushed mountains, causing tidal waves that destroyed the coast. The ninjas came together to defend their village. A shinobi faced the nine-tailed fox in deadly combat. He sacrificed his life to capture the beast and seal his spirit within a human body.

This ninja was known as the YONDAIME HOKAGE ..."

Aatrox observed the first scenes of the first episode and found it interesting. He had seen a huge red fox with nine tails preparing to destroy an entire village until a man riding a giant frog arrived to stop it. He had only seen a minute of the show, but his interest had been piqued.

In one part, all the students were judging how bad a blond boy was at Jutsu, and the next minute the boy had turned into a mature woman with no clothes on. To Aatrox's curiosity, he had looked at the twins lying beside him to see what their reaction would be and he saw them dying with laughter at seeing the angry teacher reprimand the blond boy for deceiving him even though they didn't understand the Jutsu the blonde had done.

He kept watching and in the scene where the students were all together while the blonde was sitting alone on the dark bench, Aatrox couldn't help but feel sorry for the boy and relate to him.

At the end of the episode, when the blond boy and the teacher finally got along, Aatrox felt hot inside and longed to know how the story would go on.

What none of them knew was that at that moment Aatrox's life had changed, he had finally been introduced to the anime. And one of the things he hated most would be the authors who ended the episodes with Cliffhanger.

"I hope I never meet an author who ends the episodes like this…" Aatrox would think one day.

CREATORS' THOUGHTS
