Chapter 3 - Waking up

Author: Hello again and thanks for reading

comments and suggestions are welcome.

The information Amare gave the MC is in a separate post coming up.

There will be short time skips as he grows up

And just to note someone is recognized as an adult at the age of 15.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I’m back in the darkness again, but this time I can feel my surroundings. It’s warm and comfortable…*yawn*...*Gasp* that was close. I can’t sleep yet I need to confirm my status. So Following the instructions of the Goddess Amare I will my connection to my soul.

Looking at this I could only think of a really helpless person. Thankfully Amare awarded me 100 CP in order to help me out when I first awaken. From her suggestion I would need to focus at least 50 pts on Vitality alone, as a baby sickness is a problem with the current world, the rest she will leave to my discretion.

After thinking about a few things I was left with this:

Affinities

After looking through the information Amare gave me on what these things do I decided to make it so I won’t be so feeble when I’m born. Since I'm a baby now physical activity will be limited, so i'll focus my stats on intelligence since education in this world will most likely be crap and I can work out as I grow older. I also tested the effects of CP on the sub-stats. Every upgrade to a sub-stat requires the same amount of points per boost. So if I want to improve a sub-stat with a stat lvl of 25 than I would need 25 CP.

Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.

It’s not that bad since sub-stats are normally raised naturally if given enough time, and can be influenced by the things you do. But from the information Amare gave me, raising it naturally takes a long time, if it even raises at all, so this is pretty good to know.

After reviewing everything I think the vigor stat is extremely useful with my natural recovery ability. From what I can tell HP,MP, and SP relates more to the energies residing in my body than anything pertaining to my actual life, what they are I don't know yet. The reason I think this is because I'm not in a game and that I'm alive.

Now all I can do is wait, thankfully not long though since I’m suddenly starting to feel some pressure building around me.

Wait..I just realized...I’M EXPERIENCING CHILDBIRTH...OH GOD!

“waaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh” (MC) *baby crying*

“It’s a boy Milord but...” (unknown person)

“*Sigh* figures it would take after the mother.” (another unknown person)

“It’s useless to me discard it and this sow, I have more important places to be.” (trash person)

After getting myself put together after my traumatic ordeal I started hearing some scary things from some pompous looking guy. Hey...are you serious, this bastard!

“Milord *sob* please, have mercy, he is your son *sob*.” (crying woman, mother?)

Hearing everything around me left me despondent. This guy is getting rid of me at birth like a piece of garbage. The woman who I believe to be my mother seems to be begging, I don’t like this. I lost my mother before and seeing my new one like this...no no no!

“Silence wench, guards what are you being paid for, dispose of them!” (Trash Father)

The guards didn’t leave her any room for begging and killed her, they seriously killed a woman who just birthed a child and they didn’t even hesitate. *Sob* my mother is dead, I lost my mother AGAIN! Even if I didn’t know her, my heart aches so much.

A guard suddenly picked me up in an ungraceful manner and carried me out of the building. My tears didn’t stop, this world already took from me and I can only watch. Unlike what I expected, I wasn’t left in a forest, I was simply left to die on the street. My cries were ignored by the people passing by.

I can understand now why Amare had such a pained expression, she knew this would happen. The body she selected for me needed to have the potential to grow strong, and born in a place with the minimum safety this world has that can allow me to survive and grow safely. Given I was left outside proves she knew what would happen since I would need vitality to survive this ordeal.

“waaaaahhhhh waaaaahhhhhhh” (MC)

“A notha one huh, die quietly will you.” (passerby)

These people are seriously gonna get what's coming to them when I grow up. *Sob*

...

I was getting a little desperate, the air was cold and I haven’t had any food since I was born. It’s already been what seemed to be an hour since I was left here and the sky looks like it is getting dark soon. If help doesn’t come soon I would seriously die like this.

“Oh no another child abandoned. There there it’s okay don’t cry, I may not have much but I can help care for you little one. I just hope you behave and stay out of trouble I...don’t know how that man will take to having you around though.” (tired looking woman)

I seriously felt relieved someone came to help me. After that tired looking woman, seemingly in her late thirties, took me away from that place she just kept talking to me as if she thinks a newborn would understand her. I can’t say a lot of it was good, but at the very least she seemed to want to help me. Truthfully I didn’t really mind since it was about were I would be living for now.

From the things she said this is what I know.

1. It’s a questionable orphanage.

2. The owner has the kids who are of age go out and “procure” some things needed for the orphanage to stay functional. So it's pretty much steal from others to earn your stay.

3. If you're caught then tough luck, because the owner isn’t taking responsibility and you’ll either be killed or enslaved.

4. The place is barely habitable and no place for infants but it’s the only place I got.

5. There is only one other person close to my age living there, she is a one year old wolf-kin variant. Apparently she was abandoned by her pack for having white hair and blue eyes rather than the normal hair of black and dark grey that they use for stealth. She also appeared to be weaker than a normal wolf-kin infant so not even the mother cared about her fate.

6. Since this area is predominantly human populated discrimination is strong.

When we arrived at the place that barely qualifies as a house I was met with the criticizing eyes of some fat man that looks like he hasn’t worked in a long time. The pungent odor of alcohol made my eyes and nose burn.

This isn’t going to be a pleasant upbringing. I'll be sure to pay whatever I get back one hundred fold.

-------------------------------------------------------

A/N: As I was proof reading everything I saw a comment about not being able to see, well yea I know that. But he isn't a human baby, and he already has some stats added to him making him stronger than a normal newborn.
