Ch4 - Common Childbirth

With the company of Blue Screen I have no longer have had to be bored and alone.

Without noticing it I eventually start feeling contractions.

Oh. So it's finally time, I'll talk to you more once you settle down with your new life.

Bye

Later my friend.

I'm ready.

Slowly I start to feel myself being pulled outside. I should be happy I'll finally leave but a part of me is sad that I know have to leave this safe spot.

Quickly brushing away that thought I start to cry, you know to keep appearances. After the whole ordeal I finally get to see the outside world.

...

It's SO bright out there.

What's going on?

Not only that no slap ever came I was just immediately wrapped into a cocoon with a shirt, or at least that's what I think it is. My mother, or I assume she is, tries to quiet me down. Feeling their is a good reason for this I start calming down and eventually go moderately silent.

I look around and finally realize that it is in fact night-time, but I just happen to be in the middle of a forest fire. Lots of smoke and heat finally make me cry again, this time my mother doesn't even bother trying to quiet me down.

She just hold me in front of her and commences to run away from the fire. I barely now realize she has company, two men to be accurate. I wish I could describe the group, but I can't see with all this blinding inferno and the smoke getting in my eyes.

Even so I can still hear them shouting and screaming at each other. I guess it was far fetched to hope I could still understand the locals without prior knowledge on their language. Well I didn't expect it that I would suddenly have a gift that allowed to understand them. Especially when I demanded to the God of Fate to only give the bare minimum and no gifts of any sort.

My mother keeps running for a long time, I don't know what is going on and how I should react to all of this.

After some time it seems we finally made it out of the forest before the fire consumed us. I am no longer crying anymore, I just simply trying to sleep.

My mother checks for any problems, she shakes me a little bit. Which I react with a bit of crying, she holds me to her chest and starts to cradle me in an attempt to calm me down. After so the my mother begins to talk to the two other men, they all sound so worried.

I am finally starting to see better, but sadly now their isn't a light or anything of the sort to allow me to see them. So descriptions will have to wait until then.

I hope this isn't some sort of cliche your parents are on the run, or a their is trouble afoot. I have just been born and I wish to avoid that.

Status Show

...

Whoops... I said that backwards.

Show Status

....

Common blue I know you are there, I just want to know if I should be concerned. Because I am very nervous of this whole situation.

So just give me a simple explanation.

...

Well... this is a flash fire, there was no instigators behind it. Just a natural forest fire, no outer influence on any of this.

Hmm.. I'm not going to lie I'm both sort of disappointed to hear that, but also extremely relieved that everything is most likely okay.

Look just go to sleep, everything will be sorted out when you wake up.

Alright I'll trust you on this one.

...

....

.....

*The Next Day*

I wake up to the worried shacking of my mother.

What is up with you? Calm down, I'm okay. Stop worrying about me and stop it with your poking and prodding, you are not a doctor.

I give her some brief crying to make her stop, with her immediately complying as such.

Well, I can now finally start introductions and start describing the people around me. It's an older looking man beyond his 40's with short light brown hair, slightly rugged appearance. However, who am I to judge, they just ran all night trough a forest fire, they ALL are lucky to get away with just this. Either way I suppose this man is my father as he constantly begs my mother to let him carry me, or so it seems.

The next male seems like a young adult, maybe 17 or so. His hair is also light brown but not as short as fathers. Their is also soot on his face, but I'll just simply assume that not a normal occurrence with him and it's just because of the fire. There is not much to say about him.

Next my mother, she isn't beautiful but neither is she ugly. She kind of looks plain to be honest or she would if her hair was all messed up. Also her face and clothes are all dirty.

So unlike most of the other reincarnated I don't seem to have been born out of a beautiful mother, I hope I don't become a pretty boy. I want to look like my father instead.

Okay lets just assume my parents are simple common people, which is what I wanted so it's all good. Also they don't seem too worried about anything in particular.

They soon begin walking somewhere, I can't say as mother is holding me against herself. Along the way she attempted to breast feed me. Something I wasn't expecting her to do while walking.

Since I'm already getting bored of my family I'll just go talk to Blue.

Show Status

...

...

What? You know I can't show you your status yet and it's best if you don't even try it. Other people will also be able to see it.

Anyways. What's Up?

Well I just got to see my parents but now I'm just bored. Do you know if their is something I could do while I wait.

...

Do you normally get this easily bored? Shouldn't you be extremely stocked or happy to finally get a new family.

I remember you saying you never got to spend much time with your previous family.

Yeah, but that doesn't mean I enjoy being a baby. Also what good is it for me to attempt to spend time with them right now. I'm a baby, so naturally they will spend time with me anyways. It's just that I can't interact back with them, I can't talk or play with them.

Alright, If you say so.

Hey, I remember you said you were almost a hundred years old.

The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.

Yeah. What about it?

You see, your childhood couldn't have been more than two decades, you were at some point in a coma for only one decade, and the investment story didn't take longer than a year.

...

If you add all this together that's only at most 30 years of your life. So I assume their is more you haven't told me about yourself.

Their is, but I didn't feel like talking about it. You see I was born in 1918 just right after one if the biggest wars ever ended. So as a child there was an economic recession for my parents, so it was just constant struggles and me trying to help my parents by getting a job later on.

Soon after they decided to immigrate to better land in hopes of making more money. They couldn't afford everyone's journey so they only took the older brothers. That left me alone with my little sister. I kept working and trying to look out for her, from time to time I would get a break. As my family still sent money from time to time.

She eventually started to get involved with the wrong crowd, I tried warning her about it. However that only mad her get angry at me, one day she just decided to move out.

I didn't ever see her again. Their wasn't anything I could do about it. She left no indications of were she went and I didn't even know who would even be her friends to begin with. I looked for her for around an entire year, but decided to let it be. I just hoped she would be safe.

...

Afterwards I decided I needed to get myself an education, so I spent all the money I could on me going to school. I also started pushing towards getting a scholarship to be able to enter college once I was done with high school.

Life was hard but It seem like I could make out if I just worked harder.

When I finally graduated with honors among the top ten in the school I went and tried to take my scholarship. Nope.

They denied it too me, I can't believe they used my race as an excuse in the late 1930's. Really?

I later found out they just simply didn't want a plebeian like me. That's all.

As I was working time went on, and soon came World War 2. Being already an adult I was drafted towards what will always be in my mind pure hell. I don't think I'm ready to tell you about that for now.

Alright. I didn't mean to intrude, I just wanted to now what else went happened during your life.

Its okay, I already came to accept my past long ago. I just don't now if I'm ready to start recollecting those dark time on my life.

Sooo... Do you have anything for me? I have been talking to you for quite the while, but it's only been about me.

Hm...

I am in charge of running a system that covers the whole world, I don't have to explain what kind of system as you already know. Their isn't much to say about myself.

I have only ever been watching and showing people their information for a REALLY long time, but that's it.

Are you sure that's it? You must have done more, I imagine so as I doubt I am the first one to talk to you. You could have maybe given advice or something and in doing so changed events of whoever you were looking over.

Most people simply ask questions about the system or their stats, but that's about it.

Nobody ever ask about my opinion, but I doubt I would know what to say.

Don't be like that, when I grow up I'll let you take choices for me. I'll share this life with you.

But for now, I want you to tell me if their is anything any particular I should be doing?

Hmm... Well most people reincarnation would have checked themselves about now for magic or something. I guess you could try looking into yourself and try to find something that wasn't there before.

Wasn't there before, you mean to say this body is close enough to my others body anatomy. So I simply need to see what's different and play around with it?

... No. I didn't say that... But it could work. Maybe.

I concentrate into myself and look for a feeling, a sensation I never felt in my previous life. Anything that could be worth my attention, but everything feels so... different

What could I be looking for, I feel the wind against my skin, the dirt and dust covering me, the sun's heat on my body, the humidity around me. The various sounds and sensations. Its something I haven't felt in a long time.

In back with nature. Never thought I would get away from the city and spend sometime outside.

No. I should get distracted, I got to keep looking. Their isn't anything else to do for now.

...

....

.....

After a while I get bored and decide to start paying more attention to my family and my surroundings. Seems they got a little bit worried as I have been too calm for past day.

Suddenly I hear my dad shout something, at that word my gets happy starts running forward towards somewhere. My mother just keeps walking at her pace.

Dammit, I want to see too. Turn me around. I struggle to look around but to no avail she won't let me twist myself around.

...

More time passes I can now see behind me buildings an such. All made out of wood, nearly never one out of stone.

I guess we entered a village?

...

After almost a day my family gets a small shack as our new home.

At some point my brother and dad go away, maybe to get a job. I don't really know.

For Some reason my mom thinks its a good idea to leave me here while she goes to the market.

Are my parents this irresponsible? Is this why they only have one other son? What were they even doing in middle of the forest doing a forest fire?

(?)

What's that?

Oh... it's just a snake...

(!)

This is bad.
