The first thing Kaley noticed when he regained consciousness, was that he seemed to be floating in some kind of liquid. Was he drowning?!

Slightly panicking, he tried flailing his arms to find his bearings. He tried to open his eyes, but it was as if they were glued shut.

Belatedly, Kaley noticed that he seemed to be breathing the weird liquid, yet there was no discomfort at all. Strangely enough, there was only calm contentment. As he started to calm down, he noticed a sound in the surroundings. A loud rhythmic 'thump' echoed in the space, giving Kaley a very nostalgic feeling.

He tried remembering how exactly he ended up here. Focusing hard, he tried to get past the fog covering his brain, only managing to get a headache. He couldn't remember anything after class had ended on Friday.

He had absolutely no idea what had happened to him. In any case, his headache was getting worse. Maybe he shouldn't have tried to force it.

He could feel the blood rushing to his ears and his head felt like it was splitting apart. His own heart beat loudly in sync with the louder 'thump'. Then the realization hit him.

'Ahh, that must be another heartbeat...' he mused to himself. 'Then that plus my current circumstances can only add up to one thing; I've been reincarnated and this is inside my new mother's womb.'

Nodding to himself at his sagely conclusion, Kaley felt oddly at ease with his new circumstances. He didn't have much going for him in his old life. The only good thing was his one friend, Claire. He had to admit to himself, that he had a massive, one-sided crush on her, but he was too afraid to confess. If the confession failed and it ruined their friendship, he would've probably killed himself.

'Haa. Too late for regrets now.' he thought with a sigh, dismissing the depressing tangent he was on.

Suddenly, Kaley's surroundings shook violently and a slight suction started draining the embryonic fluid surrounding him.

'Did her water just break?! F*ck, I'm not ready yet!'

For the first time, he could feel the wall of the womb. It was convulsing and contracting. A great pressure bore down on him as the birthing process commenced.

'This isn't gonna be pleasant, is it?'

All he could feel was great pain all over his body as he was squeezed out. Strangely enough, the birth was very fast. One minute he was in great pain, being pushed through the cervix and the next he was out. It was kind of anticlimactic, really. Kinda like push, plop and boom he was born.

As Kaley's naked skin greeted the hospital air, he was roughly picked up and wrapped in a blanket.

He tried to loudly protest against the rough treatment, but his throat was still full of embryonic fluid and the only thing that came out was a sort of gurgling sound.

"The baby's airways seem to be blocked. Hold on." A gruff male voice spoke to who Kaley presumed was his mother.

A big hand clapped Kaley on the back, discharging the sticky substance. It also hurt like a b*itch! Finally, with his airways clear, Kaley took his first breath in this new life. And despite his own efforts, he let out a very loud wail.

"Congratulations, your highness, It's a baby boy." That same male voice spoke again. He seemed to have a penchant for pointing out the obvious, this guy.

What answered him was a female voice filled with power and confidence.

You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.

"No need for such formalities, doctor. I'm nothing but one of King Vegeta's many women." With a self-deprecating chuckle, the female spoke again. "If I didn't happen to become pregnant, I reckon he wouldn't even have remembered my name."

'It sounded like his mother was a mistress. And what's with the strange name? It sounded kind of familiar.'

"He has some strong lungs on him. He's gonna be a fine warrior, just like his mother." Again, that male spoke, now in an ingratiating tone.

"Here's your child, Ms. Steel. I'm just gonna boot up the device and we'll check his power level. I'm sure it'll be quite something."

The Doctor handed Kaley to his mother, who looked down on the infant and frowned.

"What a weak little thing. His features are almost delicate. And why hasn't he opened his eyes?"

'Oh right, totally forgot.'

Kaley opened his eyes.

'Huh?'

There was only blackness before his eyes. He tried blinking a few times. Still the same.

"Oh, his eyes opened! They're a beautiful silver color." the female voice was tinged with pride.

Panic was starting to set in again. It couldn't be, right? His luck couldn't be THAT bad, could it?

"Silver? That's unusual... Huh? They seem to be quite unfocused. Could it be that this child is...?"

The Doctor did something. Kaley could feel a slight draft against his face.

"What do you mean, Doctor? Is there something wrong with my child?" The female voice sounded slightly nervous now.

"It appears that the child is blind, my lady. I'm terribly sorry."

The Doctor's words confirmed Kaley's fears. It wasn't enough that he had a sh*tty past life, no. He had to be f*cking blind in his new one. God truly hated him.

"Ehh, he's blind?" The arms holding Kaley tightened slightly.

"I'm afraid so, my lady. But not to worry. If his power level is at least at the high rank, then he can get restorative surgery or a completely new set of eyes."

Kaley's attention perked at that. He had no idea what this power level was, but he appeared to still have a chance at sight.

A sigh of relief could be heard above Kaley's head, but she did not loosen her arms.

"I'm glad. Seems there's nothing to worry about then"

The power was back in his mother's voice. The complete confidence she seemed to have in here genes was astounding. Kaley hoped her confidence was well placed.

'ding' A bell-like sound, echoed in the room.

"Ahh, the machine is ready. Let's take a look and see what the child's power level is at."

The Doctor received Kaley from his mother's arms and put him inside a crib-like machine. Some clicking noises could be heard as the Doctor pushed a few buttons. Whirring noises came from the machine as it worked.

It was a weird feeling. It felt like when you're walking alone in the dark and you feel like someone's watching you. It was, all in all, a quite unnerving feeling.

The machine ran for a few minutes then came to a stop. Another 'ding' was heard as it did

"Let's see here..." The Doctor's voice sounded as he checked the results.

Whatever. Things couldn't get worse than they already were.

"Huh...? That's weird, did the machine break?" The Doctor mumbled to himself and rubbed his eyes, unsure if he read it correctly.

"Is something the matter, Doctor? What's his power level?"

Kaley's mother sounded slightly anxious now.

Did he seriously just jinx himself? Is the sh*tty start of his new life going to get even sh*ttier?

"Just a minute, my lady. I'm going to run it again. There seems to have been an error."

The machine ran another round and another 'ding was heard. The Doctor checked the results and when he saw the result, he shouted.

"That's impossible! There's no way that's true!" His voice was shaky.

"Doctor, what's wrong? What's my son's power level?" The anxious voice of Kaley's mother was heard, breaking the Doctor out of his thoughts.

"There must be some kind of mistake! The machine must've broken or something. I..."

The Doctor sounded hysterical. It seemed the results really shocked him silly. Kaley hoped it was in a good way.

"Doctor!" She interrupted him and continued in a very commanding voice. " What. Is. His. Power level?"

There was a minute of silence as the tension rose in the room. The Doctor let out a sigh.

"My lady, his power level is..."
