Chapter 1: The birth of a mortal

After a blinding light, I was suddenly in a very dark place. I tried to light it up using my power, but nothing happened.

Mercury: <>

Mercury:<>

While I was struggling with the fact that I was powerless, something strange was happening to my surroundings. I figured I was in getting born right now, but it still felt really weird.

???: “Push Silvia, push! The head is already put!” An old voice seemed to tell my mother to try harder, I was feeling quite bad for her, seeing that she was going through so much for me. I was pretty surprised that the language spoken was English, but still, I would probably have understood it anyway. The languages don't differ that much between worlds. They mostly evolve the same way. My first world was actually one of the most uncommon ones, in terms of languages. It had the most spoken languages in the whole multiverse, and believe me, that is quite the accomplishment. The multiverse is so big that in over 1 million years I could only explore 15% of it. And I was the fastest thing, ever!

???: “It's a boy, a beautiful baby boy. My daughter you have really outdone yourself!” said the old lady, who I figure is my grandmother to the beautiful girl on the bed.

My mother was truly beautiful, she had long golden heir and blue eyes. Even tho she was really tired after the birth, she did seem to have an amazing body. I guess my father was a lucky man.

After looking around the room for a bit I noticed a really panicked man, he had black hair and the same blue eyes as my mother, he was actually quite handsome. He was coming closer, reaching out to me, when he suddenly stopped. His face got even white-er and asked my grandma.

???(Father): “W-w-why, i-isn't he c-c-crying?Is he alive?Please tell me he is alive, mother!”

Mercury: <>

After I started crying both my grandmother and father breathed a sigh of relief. Then in a few seconds I was handed to my mother who looked exhausted.

Father sat besides her bed really softly as to not disturb her, and she said.

Silvia: “What do you think of our little Klaus, Stephan? Isn't he beautiful?”

I guess my name is Klaus than. I really liked Mercury, but it would have been really strange if I got the same name as my God name.

Stephan: “He is my love, he is! I will make sure he will grow strong and will not have to deal will hardships in any way! I swear that I will be the best father possible!”

Seems like my father is a pretty good man, and handsome. My mother is a beauty. I guess I can have pretty high hopes for my appearance.

While I was thinking how I will look in the future, a golden light entered my sight. When I turned my head, I saw my grandma heal my mother with a healing spell.

Seeing that, I felt pretty happy. I always wanted to try to be a mortal in a world with magic. I would have chosen such a world if I had the option anyway, so this world didn't seem all that bad anymore.

After a bit my mother put me in a really small cradle, in which I fell asleep in a matter of seconds.
