"MADAM, MADAM COME HERE QUICKLY!"

As soon as I had responded to the question Jane took off down the hallway after my mother, and I got to say being carried while the maid was running is rather uncomfortable. As it started to get rather painful I started crying; some might question an old man crying but it was beyond my control I guess sense I have a baby body it is only natural to cry to express discomfort. A little bit after Jane started running we arrived in front of a door that look liked it lead to an office. She imminently started knocking quite loudly on the door yelling.

"MADAM THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE YOUNG MASTER"

Almost immediately mother opened the door and the first thing she noticed was me crying. Now that set off her panic mode; Her face instantly changed color and she just started asking question back to back without even wafting for a reply to any of them.

'WHAT IS THE A MATTER? IS HE HURT? I JUST LEFT YOU TO TOGETHER HOW CAN SOMETHING HAPPEN SO FAST? DO WE NEED TO CALL FOR THE PRIEST AGAIN?!"

Most people would be taken back by her outburst and question, but for me who grew old and died without a family it felt wonderful to have someone care for you. Jane had finally calmed down a little and she wasn't running anymore so the pain disappeared and I stopped crying. I looked at my mother who seemed to be so worried about me and did the only thing that I knew I could do and just gave her my most innocent smile I could. Though I barely smiled in my past life this one came natural as it came from the warm feeling I got from my mother, as she saw my smile she calmed down and started questing Jane to figure out what was wrong.

"Jane he seems fine and I just left you with him for a little bit what is wrong?"

Jane having calmed down herself saw mother also calm herself down and after listening to her question she knew only one way to explain what was happening; so she picked me up and faced me towards mother and asked again.

"Young master do you understand the words I am saying"

Once again I just nodded yes to her question as I knew she had no way to explain it to my mother she need to show her. My mother face turned to one of shock, and after a little waiting she took me from Jane and helped me up then looked at me in the eyes. As she looked at me I looked back at her right into her green eyes. In them I saw confusion and awe, and to my relief I still saw the affection I had received earlier. We sat there staring into each other eyes, and after a couple minutes she finally spoke; when she spoke she continued to stare right at me and asked.

"So you can understand me? How old are you 1 day and a half not long enough for you to absorb the knowledge, which leaves you were born with a full mind?"

All I can do is nod yes to her question; actually I am quite amazed she put things together that fast I for one would never come to that conclusion if I were in her shoes. After I had answered she seemed to have gone into serious thought before she spoke again and asked me something I had no expected.

"So you were born with a full mind yes, as the son I gave birth to I would still like to raise you as my child; but I understand if you want your freedom I am willing to assign someone to you till you are big enough to do things on your own. On the other hand if you're willing that is I would like to be the one to raise you and help you grow. I shall let you choose do you want to be my son or do you want me to leave you alone; Just blink 1 for the first choice and twice for the second."

This took me quite off guard for a couple of reasons. One she is willing to still raise me even knowing I am not normal, and not only that she is willing to assign an assistant to me if I want to live on my own. To be honest I only came to this world to gain strength, but after having experience only those couple moments filled with warmth I am willing to give a little and be raised as her son. Her love is genuine and I can still train so with that thought I blinked once.

After I blinked she seemed to have waited to see if there was a second one coming; which of course there was not. I guess she never thought someone who was born with a full mind was not interested in being raised by a new mother because she waited a good minute before she realized there was no second blink coming. As soon as she realized I had chosen to be raised by her started crying and gave me a warm motherly hug before handing me back to the still dazed Jane and told her.

"Jane bring my son back to his room you can get him a real bed he will be fine. As for you my son you rest I will prepare all the things needed for an education. The earlier you start learning about this world the faster you can live in it, Jane you and the others take over the business I am taking some time off to teach my son about this world. Before I forget my son we only name our children on their 10th birthday as most kids die before they reach that age; I am sorry but please put up with it till then, and I'll let you pick your own name."

As she finished saying everything she needed to she turned around and closed the door to her office for what I am guessing to gather material to teach. Jane still dazed just walked me to my room they had ready for when I got older in couple years. There was a king sized bed with a canopy and she just laid me in the center of it, and I must say being a baby on a king bed makes you feel tiny. With me on the bed she just left, I guess it must be too much for her to take in; huh now that I think about it mother wasn't like that she acted like it was an everyday affair. As I lay here I realized how tired I feel must be an aftereffect of the training and all the commotion with mother I'll take a nap till mother returns.

*****

When I came back from the void of dreams I was being picked up by mother I noticed in my previously empty room there are books stacked everywhere. As I finished looking at the amount of books in my room my mother asked me a question.

If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

"First do you know anything about the sundering of the world into pocket dimension for each intelligent race?"

To be honest I had no idea what she was even talking about never mind the part about different races my previous word only had humans as an intelligent species; Never mind about the sundering of the races into pocket dimensions I mean what does that even mean. Mothers face turned serious and she started to tell me all about the past of this universe.

"This world was created by the one true god, one so powerful he play with life for his amusement he has no name as no one has ever seen him. He created this world bigger than any other so he could add more to it than any other. On this planet there lived dragons, elves, dwarves, humans, werebeasts, and an assortment of other races and intelligent monster races. But the one-true god found lack of amusement as all the races had found a way to live in peace. Upset of the lack of entertainment the one-true god created powerful entities that the races would worship. These beings that the mortals labeled as gods were all equal in power, but each strived for more. The one true god used this against them promising power to the one that defeated the others and force the mortals to submit to their will. This started massive fights between the gods but soon they came to realize no matter how hard they tried they did not have the power to kill one another; so they choose to use the mortals to settle their fight. Each would choose a race and they would start a war between every race the race that comes out on top would be the winner and the others would submit to him.

We mortals saw these beings as gods and they used our blind faith to start a world war with every race trying to gain total control of the others. The one true-god just watched with amusement in his eyes as millions of lives were lost; But sooner or later he knew someone would win so he intervened once again. He gave each race he considered worthy a hero. These races where us humans, the elves, dwarfs, dragons, and werebeasts. Each hero of each race was given power to rival their gods, and as the heroes started fighting in the war they soon came to realize the folly of this war. They came to learn that they were being used so the gods could gain more power. When they had learned of the gods real goal they came together to fight back against the gods. The fight between the heroes and the gods was intense; neither side could gain an advantage over the other side. Both sides realizing this all used their strongest move to wipe the other side out in 1 hit.

As both sides met a crack appeared in the air, and that was when the sundering started. Most people refer to it as the end of the world which it was. Space was ripped apart from their intense clash of power, the world cracked and split into 5 different pieces each being sucked into its own pocket dimension. Now the universe is made up of 5 pocket dimension that house each race and one main dimension that connects the them all together. The main dimension is a pentagon with a portal to each races respective pocket dimension. Only the blood of the corresponding race can activate the portal, and anyone that tries to enter the wrong races portal will be sent into the void it is not know what happens to those that enter the void.

Each races pocket dimension is shaped into a fitting landscape for each race.  Humans that rely on knowledge have no preference so they were giving land with forest, oceans, deserts, etc. The nature loving elves land was covered in massive forest with rivers converging and splitting up. The Dwarfs whose crafting skills are unparalleled lived in massive caves the world up-top barren and covered in snow. The werebeasts that relied on the anime instincts dimension ended up quite similar to the humans, but with many more types of biomes that were smaller so that each type of animal could kind comfort. Lastly are the most powerful being dragons, they were giving a dimension covered in mountains to high only the strongest of their race could get to the top and oceans so deep barely any living entity can get the seafloor.

Each pocket dimension is flat at the edge of the world is complete void; they are all the same length and width, but height is different. The main dimension is vastly larger than the pocket dimensions, but it is also flat. The closer to the center of the pentagon you get the stronger monster lives there, and in the center is where the gods reside."

She stopped, and looked at me to see if I was still listening, once she confirmed I was she continued on.

"Each race at first were in confusion, but they soon started to settle down. At first many people were lost in the void, because they did not know how to protal work or what is past the edge of the world. As the races realized only people from the corresponding race could enter their pocket dimension each race started to flourish. Then came the wars each race wanted control over the central dimension and battle were ragged and many many lives were lost. After decades of war the central dimension became what it is today. A place only the strong can live in. It became a place where the stronger you are the closer to the center you can get, and if you gain enough strength you can even challenge the gods that reside at the center."

As she finished saying that I could see a hint of fear, and sadness in her eyes, though I just ignore it as I am unable to determine the reason. Just as soon as it appeared it disappeared and she was back to normal and she continued on.

"That is all I'll teach you for today it is getting late and it is time for bed."

With that said she brought me over to the needlessly large bed and tucked me in. I was tired anyways so I closed my eyes and entered my meditative mind set. Using this I could gather strength and still get the rest I need, with me in this stance the hours fly by till the sun comes up, and mother starts another day of teaching.
