Prologue - Reincarnation

It has been 2 hours, there’s a woman standing before me giving off the presence and aura of a god. They keep asking me to save the world of Gaia…

They want ME!?? Someone who doesn’t even remember his name or past life to suddenly go to a new world and save people? This sounds absolutely absurd!! How? No... Where would I even start? Although I can’t say I am not tempted at a new life, it sure seems better then dying…

Since I have been summoned, it seems the Goddess will allow me to choose 1 skill and 1 ability of my choosing.

So, for the last 2 hours I have been sitting on the floor scrolling through all the skills and abilities of this new world, trying to remember them for future uses.

I’m certain that wasn’t part of the deal but what the Goddess doesn’t know won’t hurt her.

It seems when you are born into this world, you will be blessed with a unique ability that is specific to you. But it is not uncommon for people to be born with a regular ability ontop of their Unique ability.

Regular abilities, are not catered to you as you are born. Anyone may possess one, they are strictly chosen at random as you are born.

Some can be completely useless or you may hit a gold mine of an ability.

Whereas for skills you can learn them if you become proficient enough in that skill through training. Unique abilities are decided as you are born, therefor I am unable to choose one of my choosing.

As I was scrolling through the list of regular abilities, one caught my eye. with this I should be able to comfortably live in this new world of unknown.

EX: Gluttony. The ability to absorb fallen foes, stealing 1 or more skills/abilities at random from enemies you have slain and absorbed (enemies not defeated by you won’t give you skills/abilities, but through absorption can increase your XP).

As I debated and debated on what skill I should choose, I ended up on settling with Swordsmanship.

Skills always start at rank F as you must build your proficiency with said skill. I chose Swordsmanship first, as I feel it would take the longest to master.

Long hours of training and physical exercise, which would in turn build my base as an adventurer once I decide to explore the world.

Once I was finished selecting skills, the Goddess smiled at me knowing I was going to agree to her offer of a new life in the new world. Afterword's, she gave me a brief summary of the worlds current state.

Humanity seems to have deep rooted racism towards other races such as Demons, Dwarves, Beast-kin and Elves.

They believe they are the one and only race in the eyes of their goddess. But with the goddess looking down wishing they would change their ways they couldn’t be further from the truth.

I was tasked to live my life, adventure the new world to its fullest. But as I travel the world, be kind to the other races, help people when they are in need, and help change the minds of the humans.

To do that I would need to create unity between all races, and it seems I’m going to have my work cut out for me.

After I was finished talking to the Goddess my vision went black, I assume I'm entering my new life now. I forced my eyes open, although very sluggishly.

I am greeted by two strangers staring at me with wide eyes making cucucu sounds at me.

The first one is a Woman; she has jet-black hair and black eyes. Somewhat of a slim feminine figure, with average sized breasts?? NO!! wait! Wait! Wait! WAIT!!!

It was useless, I’m now feeding from the woman, so I am certain this is my mother...

I can’t help but feel utterly helpless but somewhat comforted. As I feed on the sweet milk, allow me to describe the other person in the room.

If I had to guess, standing at around 6 foot 2, is a man sporting a muscular build. If I didn’t know any better, I would assume this guy does nothing but workout all day, every day.

He has brown hair and blue eyes; he's currently puffing his cheeks and making silly faces at me. STOP IT. He started tickling me as I’m trying to enjoy my meal, I’m not liking this man already. But I assume this is my father...

Weeks go by, I'm still completely dependent on my parents. But I have gathered some information about my family.

My mother's name is Emily, and my fathers is Thomas or Tom for short. They have been calling me Onyx, So I am to guess that is my name going into this new world.

They have named me Onyx, due to my black hair and black eyes like my mother's.

I have three siblings, my sister's name is Sarah, who is currently in the process of being married off to a neighboring noble. If I had to guess she looks around 16 years of age, that seems to be the age of adult-hood in this new world.

Okay moving on, I have two brothers, the oldest ones name is Jake and the youngest one is Ricky. Although they are constantly arguing with each other, they always make time to come and play with me.

It's the only time I really see them two getting along, but I can feel the love they have for me and each other.

But being born into Aristocracy is tough, my father is constantly teaching them how to run the estate so one day they can step up.

With this development, it's not hard to see they are missing a lot of their childhood.

Days turn to weeks, weeks turn to months. Today is my 1st birthday, I have been slowly learning to walk on my own to surprise my family.

I feel like I should of been able to walk right away, its not like I didn't walk in my past life. However once I tried I realized my legs weren't developed enough to support my weight.

Nevertheless today is a new day, I'm finally able to stand on my own, I just need to finally take this step, start my life as a walking man.

*Smack*

That was the sound of my ass hitting the floor. I quickly make my way back to my feet with this unfaltering resolve, my family saw me standing up on my own and gathered around, I got a boost of confidence.

One.. two... three

*smack*

I crashed face first to the carpet, but it was a success. My first steps into this new world, and it was all done by me.

As I watched my family cheer and my mom cry, I thought to myself maybe this world won't be so bad, I have people I grew to love and with this I'm no longer feeling that lingering attachment to my old life.
