Chapter One: A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
My whole body hurts. Pain is the first sensation that assaults my body.
My body feels small, and empty of strength.
I hear a lot of strange voices. They all talk in an unknown language.
I feel really tired, as if I don´t sleep in months.
I can´t move my legs or arms. The effort of moving them is too much for me.
When I finally can open my eyes, they were attacked by the brightest light I've ever seen.
(Shut down the light, is hurting me) That was what I wanted to say. But the sounds that come out from my mouth it is a kind of guttural sounds [Ah… ah…].
I start to lose the breath quickly. My lungs are incapable of talking, much less of breathing. It was possible that the bastard, wound me so bad, that he crippled me?
Returning to the present. I am starting to feel really scared. I can´t move my legs or arms. I can´t even breath. The bastard really crippled me.
And the person who is that is holding me, he keeps in my air. And the other keep talking in that strange idiom. I feel several hands touching me. Even if they are careful, they hurt me a lot.
I can feel everything, even the tiniest wind in the room. My whole synaptic system is going totally mad. I am really confused. Maybe is the time I spent in bed. Maybe the gunshot, who the hell knows at this time.
But the most annoying thing is the light. It´s blinding me. Feels like my eyes are seeing for the first time.
At one point, the hands stops and I am being flipped back quickly, giving me no time to response. It´s must be a super nurse, if I can be rotated with such easiness. And a moment later, a hand slapped in my ass with all her might
I try to resist the pain, but a second slap brought to screams.
[WAAAAH, WAAAAH!] That is the only sound that came out of my mouth.
I keep screaming for several seconds until I feel the warmth of another person. Her arms are the warmest thing I ever felt.
They are familiar…
They are really warm.
But the feeling is familiar…
Like something I forgotten long time ago…
I feel extremely tired, this day was exhausting…
In this moment this arms seems the best bed I ever have…
I need to stay awa…..
……..
After six months, of that first awakening. I, Jason, can say that the theologians and philosophers win the battle. In front of the immeasurable evidence that this experience give me, I declare them the winners.
Well, they always have the advantage in this issue. Always giving her a lot of characteristics impossible to check through the empirical method of science. Of course I am talking about the transcendence of the soul. At this moment I can say that transcend even to an alternate world, which is amazing.
It is the only conclusion after the events that unfolded in myself. You can´t imagine how it feels awake in the body of a baby. You piss and shit yourself every day. I don’t have enough strength to support myself. And the only sounds that came out of my mouth are monosyllabic sentences.
On the other side, I can suck every day, the big tits of my good looking mother, delicious warm milk.
Leaving aside the current status of my bowel system, It´s looks like my conscience was reincarnated in the body of a baby, in some strange world.
The name that my parents in this world give me is Alexander Tiberius Leonnes. Or that’s how the word sound when they call me.
It´s the earth, was my first thought when I checked the green of the plants, the blue of the sky. But watching with wonder the night sky with two moons, make me quickly change my mind.
After a couple months observing my surroundings, I can grasp a few thing of my life. In first stance, I am the first son of a couple of nobles. They are not royalty, but they got a really big house with almost thirty maids and butlers. A really huge garden and even soldier barracks. The residence in itself, is between a manor and a castle.
In second place, this is an odd world. Technologically, it is in a level between the Medieval Ages and The Renaissance. The library is gigantic, with thousands of books. And it doesn´t looks like I am in the house of the head of a religious order, or a scholar of some type. But there are no weapons that works with gunpowder, at least I don’t see none.
Also, magic exist, like it was a sort of a cheap medieval fantasy novel. I could observe the phenomenon when one of the maid light a candle with her hands. Looks like pretty useful, I still don’t see any spell apart from levitation or something that creates water, but I am sure they exist.
In addition to the odd things. There are hybrids of humans. I believe the real term for them is Demi-humans. Some of the servants got dog ears, cat ears and even fox ears. Even there is an Elven maid. Is like the background of a Japanese light novel.
Steps in the room, interrupted my thoughts, and my beautiful mother grab me with her arms, says kind words and expose a naked nipple, which I start to suck happily
............
Every day that passes, I grow a little older. This is the day of my first birthday and there is a little party in the house. Finally I can stand in my own legs, and my bowel system was conquered. Occasionally he rebels against me, and a leak occurs but is almost in control every day.
I can chew hard things, I really love the taste of the tits of my mother. But only drinking and not solid food for almost a year is like a torture.
My father, who stands at 180 cm, a redhead called Garnet Randall Leonnes from the house of Cariss. He is a really easy going person and I never see him mad. He is respected for every servant that work here. From what I know, in the past he defeated a Demon lord called Dracker. Or my mother tell me. An interesting fact was his adventurer attire was always grey, and his official title is “Warden of peace”.
My mother, a women of 160 cm called Myrielle Ignas from the house of Traddle, is an intelligent and gorgeous woman who possess the title of sage. She is always debating with people in the library about science and magic. That must be the reason our library is one of our biggest room.
She really likes teaching me about everything and expends a lot of time doing every day. Thanks to her I learn about this planet geography and a lot of things.
Like in an old RPG, the monster exist. They are called magical beasts, because they born out of magic degeneration. Which makes me think that the Theory of Ether must be valid here. The gravity functions like in the earth, but I am not sure which nature rule applies here. The weather is temperate cool.
This world, called Dunerth, is divided in five continents and uncharted territory. The middle continent, the Human Continent, is where the human kingdoms exist. There are three great powers in this territory. The kingdom of Avalon, which is currently my house. Its neighbors are the Union of Harras and the old republic of Grandeur.
At the east, we found the Elven Continent, divided by two forces. The Drow kingdom, inhabited mainly by the dark elves following the command of the matriarch, and Elvengard where the high elves rule following the command of their old gods. This two forces are in constant struggle, wars was declared in the past but a cease of fire was declared. And the two countries are in amicable relation or that is the official opinion.
This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.
To the west, The Dwarf Continent flourish with their almighty mountains. There are Twelve Dwarven kingdom, but the one who stands above them is Hadhodron, the home of the best blacksmiths and artificers of the entire world. They look like ferocious merchants, or my mother told me using words like “a dwarf sells his mother for a bag of gold if his mother still doesn’t sell him”.
On the large continent of the south, we found the Dragon continent. Where the almighty Dragon Empire stands over humans and dragons equally. Their dragon knights got a special power called “Dragon Spirit” that makes them ferocious warriors. They are a country supported by the honor and the chivalry who takes a really serious job being a knight. My mother advised me that their ruler, the Dragon Emperor, is a carefree man almost like my father, so there are in good relations.
Finally, in the north is located the Demon Continent, where the majority of Demi-humans lives. It´s earned the name because of their great number of magical beasts that spawns in there. They were a tribal community but it was united by the ancient succubus family. Now the queen Emitahena ruled with absolute power. This kingdom, called Nillhiem, rivals in size with the Dragon Empire.
Looking at a regional place, the territory that my father rules is a little farming village that holds over three hundred families. The towns is small, it only got two taverns. The village is naturally protected by a river, the fortress is built over a mountainous range. This manor is only a reconstruction of an old structure built before the actual kingdom, and he is always expanding the building and adding new rooms and halls. I am starting to think that he only likes to build new rooms.
Besides the geography, my mother tells me a lot of faery tells and is teaching me to talk and read. It’s a weird feeling having someone who cares so much for me. In the orphanage I learned to take care quickly alone for me. I doesn’t even remember having a birthday party at this age.
Looking in the hall where my party is celebrated. There is almost two hundred people of every age and race. Everyone is formal dressed. There are Demi-humans, common humans, elves and dwarves. It’s a really weird sight, looking all this people reunited in one place. Of course they are friends and family of my parents, but still is impressive a party of this magnitude because a one year child.
Between the guests, there are a clan of dwarven warriors called Blackdust. It is a small clan of thirty member but every dwarf is armed to the teeth. They look ferocious and everyone got long bears, their personality is really respectful and they got manners. Something weird for a warrior. They presented me a simple hatchet of mithril. The mithril is a magical material that can cut easily the steel and is almost unbreakable. The axe shine with silver glow.
The elves, only consist in a priest of their religion and two warriors. They look with furious eyes to the only Drow elf that is in the hall. He really doesn’t care, and is enjoying a lot the food.
There are Demi-humans in here, there are diplomats and warriors. There also a guy with dog ears that looks like a tribal chief is talking with my father with words of appreciation and something about an oath. I hope he doesn’t marry me with some ugly chick.
There is also a war of looks in the hall. The house of Traddle, magicians of Avalon, are looking with hate at the house of Cariss, the protectors of the kingdom, in the other side. They hate each other because they believe that the other is useless. The only familiars who say something nice is the royal captain of knights, Arter Cariss and Jannet Traddle, the only knight of the magic family.
There is also two strange guys in full plate armor eating and drinking alone. The only people they talked are my parents, the others look at them with respect but they don’t talk to them.
The first guy, in a worn out golden armor drinks a lot of alcohol and eats in equal quantity. He is really huge and tall. I can say he is a dragon knight, because of the scales in his face. He must be a Dragon Demi-human or something like that.
The second knight, in a shiny silver armor. He never took of his helmet, even for eat and drink. He looks like a famous ninja. It must be magical, or he is quickly enough to pull up the visor before someone see it.
[I believe is time to do the magical test, Myrielle, and don’t say no he is big enough for this. He must be tested to see how great a magician is he]. The head of the house Traddle, Agus Traddle says those words to my mother like announcing a real opportunity.
[Old fool, the child got the soul of a warrior and the test will prove it. Our blood, strengthened through the generations of powerful warriors is superior to your weak magician blood] Crystoll Cariss answer his proclamation.
Voices of insults between the families are heard in the room. They really got bad blood between them. My parents got a face that says “I knew it this will happen in we put them together” and are sighing a lot. After a few moment my father gave the permission and indicate a hooded guy to approach me.
The guy looks like a Christian monk of the medieval ages, but is dressed in a coat of purple. His eyes are totally white like he was really old and his eyes lost every light in them. But he was young, his face looks like only twenty years old.
When he is in front of me, he show a crystal ball. [Now, little child put both of your hand in the “Sphere of knowledge” and your real powers will be shown to the world].
I rest both of my hands in the sphere, and the object starts to glow red. In this point occurs one of these things, one my magic is extremely powerful and I overcame both of my parents because I have more power than Laplace. Or I am a fallen angel destined to destroy the world. I know that this would happen, my light novel knowledge isn’t going to betray me.
The hooded guy start to grumble and talk in an inaudible voice. After a few minutes, the other people are starting to feel anxious. Even my parents are starting to feel worried.
[Well, Powerful warrior or weak mage, ¿Which is it? The test could not take that long] Crystoll can´t hold any longer and ask. Everyone is interested in the answer, even I was anxious. I was gambling over the fallen angel.
A[fter two minutes he starts to talk again, this is the moment when he drops the guillotine to my neck. [Neither of them… His magic capability is almost none, is one of the lowest I ever feel. For not saying the lowest of them]
And everyone puts faces of astonishment because of that words
