章節 4: New Life
As I slowly started to open my eyes, I saw a blinding light shooting at my eyeballs, forcing him to close them out of reflex.
In an instant, hundreds of memories flashed within my mind, however, they were not the memories of my last life alone. While of course, the most prominent memories were those of my past life as a bullied child who finally grew up and took revenge on their family that tortured them, I also received the memories of several other people, prominently women. As those thoughts flashed in my mind, I could not help but jumble them up and accidently lose a part of myself.
Memories of a broken wasteland appeared in my mind, and within it stood a little girl with pitch black hair and purple eyes. At the same time, several mountains of corpses could be seen littering the place around her. Memories of her life flashed before my eyes, and while it was far from everything, the amount I saw was enough to surpass the memories of 'Earth'.
In the end, the memories began to mold as someone else appeared before my eyes. Someone who looked motherly. Her memories, while being an extremely small fraction of her life, trumped all the memories of both the other lives' memories combines.
Before I knew it, I had the memories of three people in my mind, yet at the same time I felt like I lost something in the process.
After all of that, I saw the memories of earth again, and in the end, those ended up becoming my core. The very memories that would mold my character and create who I was going to be in the future. That person was Atlas Adler, a boy who was tortured by his family and scrutinized for years.
That was me.
{Author's Note: I know this might be a little confusing but it will make sense in the future.}"WHAT THE FU-...." I tried to shout after being reminded of my past life's memories and the scene of me killing myself, yet, what came out was a series of incomprehensible grunts and noises that were high pitched
'Did I survive?! no, no way. If i survived then why the hell cant i say anything? Did I give myself brain damage.... UGH CAN'T THEY HAVE JUST LET ME DIE?!'
'look at me now, I'm just a disabled retard who cant even speak comprehendible words and barley open my ey-'
My inner speech was cut off by the sounds of cries of.... joy?
The noises around him indicated that there were multiple people, some of which sounded young while others were deep and almost 'manly.' Yet, with all the words and conversations around me, I couldn't perceive a single thing that was said, nor did it even sound like any of the languages I knew.
'I really did get brain damage, huh... whelp, when I'm able to move my body, I'll just kill myself as fast as possible, maybe jumping from the roof too would do the trick, hahaha.'
(Author's note: the "<>" in front and behind a sentence means that the mc does not understand what is being said)
<"Mom, my baby is not crying. Do you think something is wrong? am I choking? am I fine? should we go to a hospital?">
<"Do not panic, dear, I have checked on my granddaughter, and she is perfectly fine">
<"She?">
<"Yes, dear. Congratulations, you have bought a baby girl into this world."> the old woman said while clapping her hands together
As I tried to open my eyes again for the 6th, I could finally see 4 giants looking at him with anticipation and excitement written on their faces. A 5th giant woman was looking behind him with a smile and hands together In front of her face.
Everything and everyone around him had more color than most things in my life. Yet, the people In front of him were the most vibrant.
This woman looked in her early 40s with a few wrinkles on her hand and face. Her eyes were bright blue, and her hair shone with a holy golden color. Her hair was back in a ponytail, and the tail end of the ponytail was long enough to reach her waist.
While struggling to look around, I saw a lean muscular, tall man with bright Green and blue eyes, which resembled an Aurora you would see in Iceland's night skies. My scruffy yet soft dirty blond hair was no longer than an inch or two, while the sides of my hair were shaved, leaving just the top.
His face jawline was chiseled and sharp, while the rest of his face was what women would refer to as 'handsome.' his eyes had slight bags under them, indicating the sleepless nights I had lived through.
Right next to him was a Girl no more than 5ft 4 with braided hair in two strands that went down and in front of her chest. Just like her Father's eyes, she Had a mix between blue and Green, which became progressively more blue with a few lines of green mixed within to finally create a turquoise color near the middle before reaching the iris. Her face was brimming with joy as she looked directly toward me.
She could be no more than 18, yet her figure screamed mature and elegant, yet in contrast to her posture and figure, her face was full of naivety and childishness.
'Damn,' I thought while looking at her with my metaphorical working mouth agape.
She had an oval face and a sharp nose while her skin was smooth and reflected the light that shone on the whole room.
While looking a little more down, I could clearly see two children, who couldn't be more than 8, who looked identical copies of each other. Nonetheless, the aura radiated while looking at me was the opposite.
One was looking at me with a smug grin. I had gelled back dirty blonde hair while the other one Seemed smaller than my brother even though they were the same size. The kid had hair identical to my Father's, just on a smaller head, while all my limbs were as close to the center of my body as they could be while standing as if I was conserving heat.
They both had Bright Blue eyes looking directly toward me. All the eyes in the room were looking at him at the moment.
'Why the fuck are they all looking at me like that, do I have something on my face? They are all looking at me like a coma patient that had woken up after 5 years of slumber. And what the hell is this shack I'm in?'
Then, I finally realized that I wasn't on a bed, but rather, I was on a giant pair of thighs. The old woman quickly walked toward him with a calming look and held him up before tapping on my head with her middle finger.
A strange surge of energy entered my body, giving him a strange feeling of pleasure and drowsiness, yet I didn't sleep. For some reason unknown to him, I had a strange urge to play golf which I had never done before.
<"she's fine, I'm sure of it. However, it is quite strange why she won't cry at all though. Also, it's almost like she's glaring at me">
'Hmm, why is this woman looking at me like that, huh?' I thought as I raised my arm in the air to slap her hand away, just to see a pair of hands I did not recognize.
'hm? What the hell happened to my hands? they are kinda fat and... small....'
'oh no, don't tell me... I've reincarnated into another world! THAT ONLY HAPPENS IN ANIME, THOUGH! N-no... I must calm down, there is no doubt about it. this might be a blessing in disguise, a new family, a new life?!?!?'
damn, the only thing I can see that might be a pain in the ass is to live here in this world. They have different morals and ethics than 21st-century earth, and the plagues, the royals, and nobles' forced marriages are a thing... Maybe this place kinda sucks too, huh?' I thought
<"Mom? what are you going to name her,"> said the girl with golden hair
<"Me and your Father have been thinking of a name for her for the last month or so, and since we didn't know if she would be a girl or boy, I made many possible names... but now the only name I can think of while looking at her is... Pandora ''> the woman with long golden hair and bright cyan eyes as she started to breastfeed her child.
'I can get used to this,' I thought as I looked at the young and more beautiful replica of the old woman that was staring at him before.
Yet, at the same moment, all my memories of all the bad experiences I had with my siblings and parents flooded back, filling my heart with pain and doubt. In contrast, the violet-black flame within him started to flicker hungrily, impatient for its next meal.
