‘Augh, my head…’ I groaned in pain as my mind throbbed. ‘Where am I? And who am I?’ I questioned myself as the pain subsided. Suddenly, memories began flooding my brain, accompanied by a sudden wave of bodily discomfort. ‘Aghhhh! The earlier pain was fading, and now this.’
Time passed, and after hours of enduring the agony, it finally ceased. I could now delve into my memories without interruption. ‘My name is Mark Grayson, a typical man from my previous life who died of natural causes,’ I lamented, regretting the lack of remarkable achievements in my previous existence.
‘Now that I think about it, where am I?’ I scanned the surroundings, finding only darkness with a tight space enclosing it. ‘Am I back in "Darkness"? No, it couldn't be. I don't sense any eerie vibes; it's just regular darkness.’ Despite this, a feeling lingered that something was amiss.
‘Think! What occurred before I lost consciousness and woke up here?’ I tried to recall but found nothing. ‘Something happened in the darkness, but why can't I remember?’ Frustration seeped in; I sensed a missing piece but couldn't identify it.
Realizing I was trapped, I sighed. ‘Well, there's no use pondering now. I should figure out how to escape this darkness.’ As I began crafting a plan, the realization dawned that there was no immediate way out. ‘Sigh, I'll just have to wait it out. It's not like I'm dying soon.’ he knew because the pain took hours and despite it, he still hadn't felt any fatigue. And just like that time goes by he doesn't know how long has he been here the only thing felt is the rare tremors around the darkness. He suspects that he was in a womb but doesn't have any evidence to back it up.
One day the tremors started increasing ‘What the! What in the world is happening?!?’ He was confused as this never happened before ‘Am I being birth?’ He hoped it was, as that would mean he could live another life again ‘Please Jesus, Budhha, Allah, and whoever is in charge of reincarnation please let me live another day’ Just as he finished praying, a light suddenly came out of nowhere blinding him but he didn't turn away as this is his only salvation ‘is this it? Am I finally getting out?’ as he said that a powerful force seemed to push him out of the darkness and go into light.
“ Come on lady Lyra PUSH! Just one more, I can already see the head of the baby” the woman called Lyra screamed in pain as she put all her strength into pushing the baby out. Finally, after what took an agonizing minute for Lyra, the baby came out “It's a boy lady Lyra” but as soon as the doctor got a closer look at the child he realized that something was wrong with the baby “Is everything alright doctor?” She asked weakly” “Nothing is wrong with the baby physically, it's just that his expression is weird,” the doctor said. Weird? Lyra couldn't understand it how could a baby be weird if it hadn't developed intelligence yet “ Well you see lady Lyra normally, when a baby is born he/she will cry or on some occasions have a shocked expression but this one doesn't. He was smiling and I could feel this baby was very happy” “Isn't it great it means my baby is very healthy and will grow up as a strong boy” The doctor could only shake his head and smile, he then gave the baby to the mother who immediately put the baby in her arms and sing a lullaby.
As this was happening the baby or the once-known Mark Grayson was celebrating his birth ‘YES! FINALLY, THE GODS DIDN’T FORSAKE ME AND GAVE ME ANOTHER CHANCE’ If Mark could return to earth he would definitely become their most pious believer ‘but now it is time to think about what to do next, I do not know anything about this world other than me seeing six moons orbiting the planet’ but he immediately remove this thought in his head ‘ i can't even walk, talk or read, yet I'm now trying to figure out what is this world. I should focus first on this woman who gave birth to me’ As Mark said that one of the nurses asked Lyra “Lady Lyra what would be the name of this child?” Lyra contemplated for a while and said “ Solomon, his shall Solomon Von Yggdrasil” The nurses and the doctor started clapping and congratulating her “What a Powerful and Domineering name I'm sure his father will be happy” Everyone immediately agreed to her but not mark or is now known as Solomon “ What the hell kind of name is that? Are you real trying to cause trouble for me?”.

It would have been fine if it just Solomon but Von Yggdrasil? People would mistake him for being a noble given the condition of the place Lady Lyra gave birth to. The beds are creaking, the roof has a sign of giving in, the windows are shattered, and many more. “ Well can't do anything about it I'm just a baby. But more importantly, where is my father?” Solomon started looking at the people but not a single one of them could be potentially his father ‘Sigh, am I gonna have a deadbeat father’
"Time's up, Lady Lyra. One of our nurses will accompany you home," the doctor announced. "And do not forget, Lady Ly-" His sentence was abruptly cut off as a towering 6'8" man emerged from the doorway. With broad shoulders and a commanding presence, his sharp, piercing gaze bore into Lyra as he inquired, "Is that my boss's son?" His intense scrutiny carried a faintly intimidating aura, suggesting that any misstep from Lady Lyra might have dire consequences. But despite the intimidation, Lady Lyra didn't back down “And what makes you think this is his son? Does he think that I only ever slept with him?” “My boss is the last one you slept with before you became pregnant” the Man retorted
“So? I slept with the elder of demon devouring sect 5 days before your master and slept with one of the highest authorities in the slum 2 days after it” She did not seem to mind telling the people around her whom she slept with, you can even feel a hint of proudness in her voice.
‘Why in the world did my master sleep with this woman, her kitty is wider than the Big Dipper cave’ he was shocked by how shameless this woman was nevertheless he could not kill this woman as she was backed by many powerful figures “I may not be able to prove it for now but once my master comes back you better ready your neck” after saying that he immediately left not wanting to stay with the whore for any longer.
After the man left Lyra sighed in relief, if that man insisted on investigating her child she would not be able to do anything about it "Thankfully, he's gone. Nurse, could you please escort me home?" The nurse she called seemed unperturbed by her earlier remark, but Solomon, on the other hand, appeared deeply disturbed “WTF!!! MY MOM IS A WHORE!!” Solomon couldn't believe that his mom was for the street, a fancy street as everyone she ever slept with was a high member of the society. What was even more disturbing was the fact that she did not feel a single shame. However, this revelation solved the mystery surrounding his absent father. It wasn't due to his father being a deadbeat; instead, it stemmed from the mystery of paternity, with no one aware of who the father was.
Already burdened with an oncoming headache and an array of looming issues, he sighed in exasperation. "Damnmit! I've barely taken my first breath, and here come problems I can't even begin to fight." While he couldn't handle it at that very moment, he realized he couldn't ignore it either. He needed to swiftly acquire knowledge about this place, strategize his next steps, and plan his approach accordingly.
