Chapter 2: Rebirth
Year A.A (After Awakening) 2118.
Central Continent, Blue Tide City.
Blue Tide City was one of the top ten major cities in the world and the second-ranked city in the Central Continent.
In this lavish city lay a huge mansion in the north named Phoenix Mansion.
Inside this mansion's most luxurious room was a family of three and a nurse.
A lean, handsome man with dark blond hair.
A beautiful pregnant woman with long, gorgeous orange hair and brown eyes.
And a cute five-year-old girl with wavy reddish-orange hair resembling her mother's but a bit darker.
The woman lay eagerly on the big bed while the husband held her hand, and the daughter looked at the nurse.
The nurse was using some faint magic strings from her fingers that entered the mother's womb and slowly pulled out a baby wrapped in a faint, dreamy membrane.
The mother, the woman, released a moan of satisfaction and fulfillment as she felt the closest thing to "life" coming out of her womb and entering the world.
The woman felt herself bound to the mysterious, exhilarating catalyzation of love.
"My love…" The woman murmured, but immediately, as if shattering the most important and happiest moment of her life, a face suddenly appeared in her mind, plastering all over her consciousness.
An expressionless battle-hardened and torn face with a pair of eyes so pitch black, they were completely devoid of light and only filled with abysmal gray, chaotic gray in depth.
'Why did I remember him? Darn it!' Kiera internally cursed.
"Congratulations, ma'am. You have a big, healthy boy with plenty of inborn magic power and a solid mutated Genoline."
When Arlott felt a wave of activity bursting from his body, fully activating all of his organs and foundation, he felt a sting of pain he could ignore easily before he started feeling various other senses.
[Hey, honey. This is the moment where you cry, you know?]
'Screw it, Lave. I am not crying for nothing.'
The babies usually cry due to pain from magic whirling in them as their organs activate and start initial development, but Arlott could ignore the pain and didn't want to force himself to cry.
"Why is the baby not crying, eh?"
"Maybe because he is a strong man like your husband? Hahaha…"
'Great, who the fuck is he?' Arlott internally scoffed.
[You'll be surprised to see him.]
'I can't see anything yet.'
"Mum, is this my baby brother? He is so tiny, haha. Look, he is trying to open his eyes."
'Do I have a big sister?'
[Yep.]
[Also, your body doesn't have their blood, DNA, or any relationship except that I used their embryo and her womb to give you rebirth here.]
[Your divine body that I molded and your exquisite soul are yours and yours alone~]
'Cool.'
His eyelids were narrowed and tight as he was just born, though he exerted his gradually surging strength and slowly widened his eyes open.
The first thing he saw was a beautiful face of a woman looking at him lovingly.
'Kiera…So, it is this bitch…'
"His eyes are so pretty, Mom!"
"His eyes are unique from us," the man roared in laughter.
"His hair is so black, haha," the girl giggled as she warily and excitedly touched her brother's head.
'Black hair?' Kiera frowned. 'None of us have black hair.'
'Duh, it can't be. I am getting paranoid just because I suddenly remembered that piece of trash.'
She shook her head and lovingly looked at her baby before kissing him on his forehead. "My baby~"
"Awhua wahwu aw ah uahw," Arlott uttered gibberish looking at Kiera while his face formed a faint baby smile.
But in reality, he was cursing this bitch and was happy to see her again for his revenge.
"Indeed. His hairs are pitch black yet glossy. It must be a mutation," the man grinned.
"He is saying something but can't form words," the little girl laughed merrily. "So cute."
'This is my sister?' Arlott turned his head to look at his sister. 'It looks like she is going to be a beauty like her mother.'
Then he finally looked at his father, which caused his imaginary jaw to drop to the floor.
'Darek…'
[Ironic to the end, right? The guy who opposed and annoyed you the most became your father.]
So, a bitch married a scum? Perfect pair, eh?'
"Awha aw huhaw a waaa…" Arlott uttered gibberish again, cursing Derek.
'I am going to fucking break them. They let me live to watch my downfall to the end, so I'll keep them alive and thoroughly have my revenge.'
[They are going to be your first tools with a gift I have for you, haha~ You just have to start training from today.]
'Train from today, what? I am just a day old.'
[Haha~ Here it comes, honey. Enjoy my first gift.]
Kiera lowered her gown's top, revealed her right breast with erect pink cherry, and pulled Arlott towards it.
'Great,' Arlott internally chuckled and started sucking it. 'Damn, this milk is tasty.'
"Good," Kiera lovingly smiled. "He is stronger and more active than other newborn babies. He can already move his developing body instinctively."
'Hmm? This energy....wait, this is…' Arlott was shocked and almost stopped drinking milk, but he quickly continued as he could feel the purest form of mana and some other energy entering him with the milk and instantly nourished his body.
He could feel the cells in his body's foundation screaming in joy and absorbing the power coming with the milk.
"He is drinking so strongly, it tickles," Kiera chuckled and caressed Arlott's head.
'What the fuck is this milk? It has such pure mana and some other energy fueling my body's foundation. It's going to make my blood, bones, and everything automatically strong as I grow up.'
[Hehe, that's because I used my powers on her to empower her milk production and quality while you were in her womb. Her breastmilk is the daily breakfast that you can drink daily and get stronger automatically.]
[Your body will be the most flawless human body ever down to atoms.]
'Wait, so…' Arlott felt indescribable before a flash of his past life's end disturbed him.
He had suffered so much to train his body to become the strongest and stand against demons with strong bloodlines. He also did many other things, but just remembering how he got an L in the end despite dedicating his life to his so-called savior's destiny was enough to trigger a nuke in him and put him on a thread of insanity.
But the milk calmed him down.
'So, I won't have to refine my body with mana and other shits I did in my previous life?'
[Humu! Just drink milk and get strong.]
'…'
'I love you so much, Lave!' Arlott laughed and drank milk with gusto.
Laverna chuckled.
[I love you too, my darling~ And that is why I have another gift for you. The main gift.]
'Oh?'
[Yep. Hold on.]
Outside, Kiera, Derek, and Iris saw Arlott falling asleep while drinking milk.
"It looks like he fell asleep."
"His body should distribute energy and develop," Kiera said with a smile, putting Arlott beside her before lying on the bed. "Let him sleep. I'll also take some rest."
"Alright. I'll go and prepare some things for our baby. We also have to decide on his name."
"Iris, come with daddy. Let's not disturb your mom and baby brother."
"Roger!" Iris chirped and followed Derek out.
On the other hand, Arlott felt his sea of consciousness opening as he arrived in a cloudy white world.
Arlott's consciousness took form as a pair of eyes in his sea of consciousness and saw an otherworldy beautiful face with dark violet eyes and a several-meter-long trail of silky purple hair.
Unfortunately, it was only the face, a whole head, and nothing else.
'Larvena?'
'Indeed,' Laverna chuckled and appeared before Arlott.
'You're beautiful.'
'You'll have to become strong to see my true beauty,' Larvena grinned.
'How strong?'
'Stronger than anything you can imagine.'
'Jeez. But it sounds fun, so I'll become that strong.'
'I hope you do,' Laverna smiled, and then her eyes glowed before they released a stream of gold and purple that materialized into a strange pitch-black book with 'A' carved on it.
'I would call this…Arlott's Bizzare Book. And this is the best thing I've made using everything at my disposal.'
Arlott was surprised and eager. 'What does it do?'
The book opened and revealed the first page to Arlott.
Laverna grinned, 'This is your first Talent Tree and the best tool to start your revenge.'
