Capítulo 4: Considering My Situation
"Welcome to our home, my cute little dearest~"
I looked around in wonder, still snuggled up in the woman's arms.
In the character creation with the god Drebann, I picked the race of the Meslatars, otherwise known as dragonkins for my new life.
What can I say? Dragons are cool, ok?
Anyway, when I picked this race, I wasn't really sure what to expect since there wasn't really much information about how they lived aside from the fact that some "Mahuns", which is their equivalent of humans in this world, decided it would be a great idea to fuck a dragon.
Thus, the race of Meslatars was born as a hybrid between dragons and Mahuns.
But… Did we live in caves? The fact that I was hatched in one gave me the idea that we did. That's why I thought that cavern would have been our home.
Instead, this woman had flown me over some mountains until we reached the edge of a cliff overlooking the sea, revealing a rather homely cottage built near the edge of it just outside a forest.
It even has what looks like a vegetable garden and a chicken pen at the side.
She landed in front of the house, holding me tightly in her arms.
I suppose if we really were living in a cave, she wouldn't be wearing such a dress that looked like it belonged more in a royal ball than anything else.
Then again, it doesn't fit living in a cottage either so I'm not sure what to think now… She's even wearing a pair of high heels you know? Not something you'd expect a woman to be wearing with such living conditions.
With me still cuddled in her arms, she pushed open the door to the cottage, surprising me with how it looked inside.
It was… Err… Normal?
Like precisely what you might expect of a cottage house I guess?
The entrance led to a small parlour that opened up to the living room that doubled as a study on one side with its bookshelves and table, the room also sharing a space with the dining room which was simply a rectangular table with four chairs.
Separated by an open doorway on the left was the kitchen with various different ingredients stored in jars and containers within the shelves nailed to the walls.
A staircase was pushed up against the far wall at the right side of the living room, hidden by a small alcove which led to the second floor where I assume the bedrooms would be.
The thing that stood out was the fact that the furniture were all of exceptional quality, something you might expect to be made by a master craftsman with how detailed they were decorated. Also… almost all of them were decorated in some way with gold.
I'm assuming that's a dragon thing.
That was when I realised there was something missing.
"Papa?" I asked, the word feeling especially weird even when I uttered it.
The woman simply smiled at me and booped me on the nose, "No papa, just mama my cute little one~"
Single parent life huh? Again, I don't know if this is a Meslatar thing or just my family in particular.
With me still in her arms, the woman carried me up the stairs to the only room above. Just as I had thought, it was the bedroom with what I guess to be an attached bathroom at the side.
Oh damn, there's a giant four poster canopy bed here that has gold trimmings too… All of the furniture in this house looks really expensive…
She unwrapped me from the towel and tucked me into the bed, stepping away to strip herself out of her dress to kick it into the laundry basket at the corner of the room.
Without an ounce of shame, she turned to me in her naked glory, picking me up in her arms before tucking me into bed with her.
"Good night my cute little one~" She whispered, hugging me close to her… Very generous chest before her eyes closed shut.
She sleeps nude… Ok then…
Hmm… Although… I'm not exactly sleepy at the moment… Maybe I can use this time to actually think about what my plans are for this new life? Sounds like a plan.
Main objective!
I'm literally living the isekai life! Use this opportunity to gather real fantasy research materials and write the best story ever!
Second main objective!
Eat all the sweets!!!
Yes! Sweets! Cakes! Candies! Ice cream! All the sweets and desserts in the entire world! I want to eat them all!!
I need to build a life for myself where I can eat them whenever and however I want! Discover all the sweet delicacies of this new world and have the time of my life enjoying them!!
And just because I couldn't do it in the previous world… I'm gonna have someone make the biggest cake in the entire world and let me dive right into it!!!
Yep. Solid plan. Perfect, no regrets. Best second life here.
Heh heh heh heh…
Ok, on to more immediate matters. First thing I have to do is be able to explore this world on my own, that means I need power.
I've read and written enough stories to know the dangers of such worlds so I need to be able to defend myself.
I'll get the boons and banes I've bought with my points at random amounts every year, so I'll have to make sure I make the best out of training and learning about each one I get for each of my birthdays.
In that case, since I also have the fortune of not starting out in the body of a hapless baby who can't do anything themselves, I can use this first year to learn all that I can about this world before I get my first skills.
Thus, my first year shall be dedicated to training my mind, hopefully this is something my mother… Hmm… It feels weird to have someone I can call 'mother' now… But I suppose I'll make do.
I hope she would be open about me wanting to learn. It would be quite troublesome if she says something like me being too young and unable to learn.
I inadvertently looked down.
Huge…
I hope I don't need to be breastfed… That would be so awkward for me…
Putting that aside… Even if she wasn't willing to teach me… I believe I should be able to learn some things on my own. The books in the study should at least help me learn some stuff, though I certainly hope the language wouldn't be a problem.
So far, I've been able to understand what she was saying and she understood me too. But I don't know if this was some kind of magic at play or we are actually speaking my own native language.
Guess I'll find out in the morning.
So with the first year planned, my next step would have to depend on what boon or bane would be manifested on my first birthday.
That is what happens when choosing the option of "Skill Reincarnation" in the character creation. At least the lewd ones will only come in after I turn eighteen so I don't need to worry about those making my baby years weird.
That is already putting aside the fact that I seem to have already skipped the infant stage anyway…
I have quite a number of boons I've bought that would be quite useful to me so I hope I gain those early, even better if it's one of the magic or skills I had bought so I can train with them even earlier.
I sure hope my luck isn't terrible to the point that I would only gain banes on my first birthday…
Speaking of birthdays… Guess I popped out from an egg huh? Does that mean my children would also come from eggs too? How would cross breeding work?
Err… Hold on, why am I thinking about such things now? I'm not even a day old in this body yet! Nasty thoughts begone!
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that my face is currently being squished between two weapons of mass destruction right now.
I know this is a fantasy world and all but is this the normal size?! I think these are at least K cups in size! Then again, she is part dragon so… Err… Does that actually help with back problems? I sure hope it does.
Speaking of which, who is this woman anyway? Aside from obviously being my birth mother of course.
The furniture in the house was by no means cheap, even if the exterior looked like a modest one. No, that was incorrect. Modesty did not seem like it was the main concern for its construction, it looked like practicality played a bigger part in its creation.
This place was effectively self-sufficient and also located in a rather defensible location. The only way to come and go from this place easily was if you could fly or somehow traverse through that thick forest without problems.
And yet, despite the fact that it looked like this place was focused on practicality, the interior was focused on luxury, a direct contradiction to the former.
Coupled with the fact that we encountered no other signs of civilization during our flight here with nothing but the mountain, the sea and forests all around… I have a feeling the nearest town or city is an ocean away.
And then there's the absence of a father too…
Which brings to the question of…
Is my… Mother… A wanted criminal?
…
Oh well, not like I can do anything about it. Guess I'll just sleep for now.
Goodnight!

Capítulo 5: Time To Hit The Books
"Ara, ara? My cute little darling wants to learn already? Of course you can!"
That was the answer I got when I asked her if I could start learning stuff, absolutely throwing all the arguments and counter-arguments I had prepared in case she rejected me out the window.
Instead of the black gown that she wore yesterday, she was wearing a simple black one piece dress where the skirt reached her ankles. The design of it was simple enough that it wouldn't be out of place to be worn at home like this.
"Rweally?" I gasped, my words coming out weird since I still had bread stuffed in my mouth.
Hey, the bread was awesome ok?! It's even homemade and fresh from the stove!
"Fufufu~ If my little darling were to ask me with such a cute look on your face, of course mama will agree~" She giggled while hugging my face to her chest.
After almost suffocating me with those weapons of hers, she pulled back and wiped my mouth with a napkin, "Dear me, my cute little one. Only a day old and you're already aspiring for greatness. As expected of my dear child~"
I'm not sure how to feel about her words… She's really taking all this in stride too. Is a one day old child doing this normal?
Ugh, this is what I need to know, my common sense of this world is entirely nonexistent. Hopefully that can change when I start learning about it.
After clearing up the breakfast table, we relocated to the living room where I could see a clear view of the sea from the window.
I ended up sitting on her lap while she cuddled me from behind, not that I had a choice to begin with.
Incidentally, my body didn't change much when I woke up this morning, still looking like I was a two or three years old instead of growing any more.
I really don't understand the rules of this world…
"Fufufu~ So what does my cute little one want to be when you grow up? A conqueror? A destroyer of Worlds? Or maybe the bringer of the apocalypse?"
…
Is this woman really my mother? What kind of things are you saying to your one day old child? Are you really a criminal like I thought?
Ahem… No, err… Let's see… I probably should just tell her my main objective, which is to find interesting stories to write about.
Before I could, I felt a hand rest on my head and began patting me, "What does my cute little one want to be? You can tell mama anything~"
Hmm… Maybe I should reconsider… Perhaps she's also joking so I should try and maintain a look of a young child?
Honestly… Because of those good for nothing parents from my previous life, I'm still hesitant on acknowledging her as my actual mother in this one. I guess it's because I'm subconsciously expecting her to abandon me sooner or later?
I didn't expect myself to have abandonment issues… Oh well, I'll deal with that later.
"I want to eat all the sweets!" I blurted out, thinking this should be the safer choice.
"Ufufufu~ Mama understands~ My cute little one wishes to claim all the sweets in the world for yourself, yes?"
"Yes!"
"Fufufu~ Then that means you will want to be strong enough to conquer the world and make everyone gift you tributes of sweets! Yes~ Mama shall teach you the ways of a conqueror!"
What.
Not noticing my utter confusion, she stood up and walked over to the bookshelf with me still in her arms.
"Ufufufu~ To be a conqueror, you will need to be strong enough to make others kneel before you and to crush any opposition who dares raise their hands against you. This is perfect! As expected of my child~"
She pulled out a folded sheet of paper from the shelf before returning us to the couch, opening it up to a and spreading it on the table to reveal what I guess to be a map of the world.
"This is the World of Erednay, my cute little one. And this World is yours for the taking~ Mama shall teach you how~"
I ignored her words in favour of looking at the map for now. This map is actually quite detailed, something I wouldn't expect to find… Ah.
One of the options that I could buy in the character creation screen was a "Trusty Map". I'm assuming this is it. To think that this would be how I would find it… I was actually assuming that this would be just like the other options where they would just appear out of thin air on my birthday or something…
Then that means the "Pack of Folding" I bought might also be somewhere in the house? Not that I'm in a hurry to find it now and if I really need it, I'll just ask my birth mother if this thing exists.
While I was still occupied with my thoughts, the woman placed a finger on the bottom left corner of the map labelled 'Dragon Sanctuary', specifically at the rightmost edge of the island.
"This is where our little nest is my little one~ Mama built this home just for us, you know?"
Oh? She… Built this place? By herself?
"Amazing…" I gasped.
"Ara, ara? Ufufufu~ To hear my little one's praise makes everything worth it~"
She picked me up so that she could set me on one of her thighs, allowing me to face her as she leaned back on the couch.
"Now, I suppose mama should start from us, yes? We are Meslatars, the ones with the blood of dragons running through our veins. And you, are my cutest little one~"
She booped me on the nose.
I realised she was expecting a response so I humoured her, "I'm a dragon, mama?"
"Ufufu~ Yes you are, my little one~ And mama shall make you the strongest dragon there ever will be~ That is why…"
She waved her hands in the air and several books flew off the shelves to land on the table in front of us.
That was… Magic. Definitely magic. I so badly want it but I doubt I have any of that potential in me yet until they manifest later on.
Also… Why didn't she do that just now with the map, did she just want to carry me?
I took a look at the books wondering what she had brought out to… Eh? I… Don't understand the words…
"First lesson! My little one shall learn how to read!" She declared proudly.
I looked up at her, "Mama… Why can I speak and understand?"
"Ufufufu~ That's because it's a blessing from the Creation God. He had made it such that everyone in this World is inherently knowledgeable about the Common Tongue, allowing everyone in this World to communicate with one another."
"And the words?"
"Ara, ara? My dear little one is so smart! The words are different as these are a creation of the denizens of this World. Thus, it is not something that everyone will inherently know. For that, we must learn it the long way~ Now, shall we? This is the letter 'a' and 'a' is for 'armageddon'!"
…
Did I really sign myself up for this?
*
"Ara, ara? It seems it is time for lunch~ Come now my little one~" She giggled before prancing away to the kitchens.
I put the notebook away after I had finished practising writing the alphabets. Honestly, they weren't really that hard, they look quite like the alphabets I knew in the previous world except more cursive and with a little bit more extra details.
Needless to say, my birth mother was utterly ecstatic to see how fast I was learning everything that she kept patting me, praising me and also hugging me every other second.
I thought I would be annoyed by the praise but… I have to admit, it actually felt nice.
I can't remember the last time I had a parent praising me after all.
Ugh, putting aside my sad past, let's see what my birth mother has made for lunch.
She surprised me by coming out again, this time with woollen gloves on her hands and a pair of boots on her feet. There's even a straw hat resting on her head…
"Mis… Mama? What are you doing?" I asked.
"Ara? Mama is going out to get lunch of course~ Does my cute little one want to follow mama?"
I'm a little curious why she needed to dress up like that so I nodded my head.
Taking me by the hand, she brought me outside and headed straight for the chicken pen. Ah, she's coming out here to take ingredients, I guess that makes sense.
Although I'm also wondering why the chicken pen's walls have to be as high as our house's?
The answer was evident the moment she opened the gate.
"Bock?"
That sound should have belonged to a chicken… Unfortunately, the things in front of me definitely do not resemble chickens in any way.
It sure has the head of a chicken, the body of one, heck even the legs of one… But the fact that the three chicken-like animals were about half the size of a house definitely meant they were not normal chickens.
One of them immediately turned to me, giving me a glare that looked like it could kill me alone with its gaze.
That moment was broken when the woman beside me literally punched it in the face, sending it sprawling onto the ground with a loud squawk.
She then turned around to hug me, "Oh my poor sweet little cutie! Did the bad chicken scare you? Don't worry! Mama will protect you!"
Right… It seems like this woman is rearing three cockatrices in her backyard like normal chickens… I just hope her vegetable garden isn't filled with carnivorous plants or something.
Did I really sign up for all this?
