Chapter 2: New World
'Where am I...'
'It's so dark.'
badump. badump. badump
'What is this beating?'
'Is-Is this a heart?!'
'Didn't I die? I remember burning to death.'
'Wait.. Why do I feel someone pulling me, now its pulling harder.. And whats with all of this slimy stuff?'
He finally opens his infant eyes.
'An umbilical cord..... Did I reincarnate?!'
Hearing of reincarnation was a common thing in the slums, people say they are an incarnate all of the time. And people belive them , because there actually has been proof, while some just stay ignorant, due to their religous beleifs. Tekkai was one of those that thought of it as a possiblity, but expereincing it now was a shock to him. All of those people he fought that said they where reincarnated , were actually reincarnated?!? He'd been fighting people with untold years of expereince in the soul , and he still beat them. That idea had given him a sense of pride in his strength.
But his thought process was burst, when the pulling on his body seemed to get even stronger. First he felt his legs touch the outside air, then his lower body, after only his head was still stuck. But with one final push he was out. Finally seeing the world around him, he heard some ecstatic voices around him.
" It's a boy! congratulations."
It seem's like his inhuman physique had also came along with his soul during reincarnation because he could see, and hear clearly. Just like when he was born in the slums. he was placed in the arms of a red haired woman, that he know's is his mother.
"Aww, who's my cute baby boy.I shall name you Tekkai, you've got the eyes of your father as well, the name fits you."
'Wow, is that name just going to stick with me on every reincarnation? Well I don't mind it, Tekkai was the name of the strongest ancient martial arts in the planet after all. And I wont sully that name by dying such a pathetic death again. I wonder if that sword guy reincarnated as well, hehe.'
He didn't actually understand anything they where saying , he just assumed that was his name ,because of the fact that he had the same name in the past life.
The he started feeling tired, and closed his half-lidded , bright red eyes.
The next day...
Tekkai finally woke up, It looks like he was placed in a craddle. Which is a bit strange for him 'Well , if these people can afford a craddle , it alteast confirms I wasn't born in the slums. Which is great.'
Cradles were unusually expensive for some reason, even though barely anyone used one.
But he wasn't about to get used to laying down all day, He's a 1 day old baby, one would assume his bones haven't formed enough for him to stand up. But he wasn't an ordinary baby, and so he did just that, except it was more of a crawl with his four limbs.
But he wasn't going to give up, after all , learning to walk at such an inconcivable age was essential to his survival, according to his battle hardened soul. Then he started just crawling inside of the cradle and making baby sounds, which was just him trying to excercise his vocal cords.
Even if he had transferred his past physique into this body, it just seems the parents had some seriously weak genes. He would normally be able to stand straight at this age.
While he was crawling around the door to the room suddenly opened. Revealing his mother of course, and she was horrified , gaping like a fish.
Tekkai turned to look at her. 'Why does she look so suprised, isn't it normal for a baby to be able to crawl in the first day? I heard the rich nobles start running in their first day of existence.'
She then started calling someone.
"Marcel! come here quick, something is wrong with my baby!"
Then a lady burst's in through the door, Tekkai recognizes the lady , shes the one who helped deliver him a day ago.
"What the FUCK! what is wrong with your baby Syllia! Why is he able to crawl like that!"
Syllia, Tekkai's mother took offense to that, and looked at Marcel menecingly.
Marcel sweatdropped, "Uhhh, I mean we should get him to the Preist as soon as possible!"
Tekkai just stood their, trying to understand what they where saying, he still didn't know the language of this new place. He concluded he might've been born on the other side of the planet or something.
His mother came over and picked him up,wrapping him in some cloth and straddling him.
He finally got to see the outside world for the first time , as Marcel opened the door for syllia.
It was green, Very green. Almost all natural wilderness, no metal boxes laying around/ slum houses, and the air was very clean. 'Where in the world was I born? This is an amazing place.'
They where standing in the middle of a dirt path , Tekkai turned his head to look where the path leads ,and he saw something he'd never seen before in his life. Actual wooden houses, a town of wooden houses, and a bustling of people walking through. Although it was relatively far, he could still see them with his natural born eyesight.
Now he faced the direction they where heading , towards some kind of wooden wagon with a roof. And some four legged creatures where straddled to it by some rope. The creatures where brown and had a mane flowing down their spine. He'd never thought anything like this was possible on this shithole planet called eclipse. Wait.. Was he even in eclipse anymore?
Now that he thought about it, people in eclipse all had one common language , unless you were from some secluded place. So why could'nt he understand them, and their style of dressing was weird too. He know considered the possiblity of reincarnating into a completely different world.
--Perspective Change--
Some guy was holding the ropes to those creatures ,and as soon as we got on , he pulled and the creatures raced, moving the wagon. We where heading towards the town, and it seems like the wagon also had curtains that now had been pulled down from the inside by my mother.
Which meant that I could'nt see anything outside anymore, sadly.
The wagon continued to move for what felt like a few minutes, to me anyway, I was still a baby , I may be a superhuman one , but I still have a small brain.
Might've been hours honestly.
The wagon stopped, and my mother had gotten out, I had to blink a couple of times to get used to the lighting change. We arrived at what looked like a church building, It was grand I never seen something like this, only churches I've seen in the slums was just giant metal boxes with doors and a couple of cut-out windows.
There was a reason why everything was metal, Even though we had trees, the wood was way too weak for construction back in my old world.
We had entered through some fancy wooden double doors, and passed through all of the chairs, Climbed up the stage, and came across an old robed guy with a beard, he seemed to be looking at a framed picture. It looks like he noticed us because he had turned around, and smiled.
--Perspective change--
"Oh look who it is, syllia, I've heard thay you've just gotten a baby", Then he looks at the bundled up baby in her arms, the day old baby already growing strands of red hair. "He looks like he's going to grow up to be very strong, and he's just a day old."
Syllia frowns, "Thats the thing priest Hamlet.. He's too strong for a normal baby." Syllia then recounts how she saw Tekkai crawl around the cradle without a hint of effort.
The Preist's initial reaction was shock, "I see, so I assume you want me to do a divine inspection to see if he is being influenced by something?"
Syllia nodded.
tekkai was handed to the Preist and taken to a alter in the back room of the stage.
There the preist started chanting some weird words that confused Tekkai , its sounded like. "Im bleu, da ba dee, da ba daa " or something like that. He kind of found it funny for some reason.
Aftwards , a yellow light surrounded him, and then...
Some kind of holographic panel apeared above him , and he could actually read it.
----|Level 1 Divine Inspection|----
Level 0 [0/100]
Name : Tekkai Kaioh
Race : Alpha-Human
Lifespan : 102 years
Current Age : 1 day
Total Physical Prowess : 0.4 (average adult in this world has 5-10)
Total Spiritual Power : 0.1 (Average adult in this world has 5-10)
----_______________----
'Whoah, What is this. It has information about me, this is extremely weird. Some of the stuff is self explanatory , except for the level , and Spiritual power, I have no Idea what those mean.'
Everyone was also looking at the screen.
The preist upon looking at the inspection starts sweating nervously, 'Th-This child, he's a monster! and an Alpha-human at that , Insane!'
Syllia asks, "Why is his race displayed as alpha-human What is that?, Preist , why are you being so quiet , can you tell me if anything is wrong?!" Syllia starts freaking out.
The priest finally breaks out of his stopur, "Listen syllia, this child is very special, Whatever you do ,you must let him grow on his own , do not pamper him. Trust me. Every year only a few alpha-humans are born in this country. And those that are left to develop become beings of unimaginable power, granting them vast riches. But i'll advise you to keep this a secret between us, never let anyone else know what he is. Or the Empire will want to take him from you and hinder his growth to use him on their own whims. You got that?"
Syllia just nods furiously "Understood! I wont let anyone take my baby from me!"
And so, this was the first day of existence in a brand new world for Tekkai. A world where he wants to become the strongest being imaginable.
