Morning next day.

"Oh! Leo is still sleeping? That's rare! Usually he's already awake at this time." (Nelia)

[Nope. I'm wide awake mother]

"Maybe he got tired playing yesterday?" (Ark)

[Yep. I'm really tired playing yesterday.]

"Should we fix his position? He's sleeping on his stomach like an old man." (Nelia)

[Oh please don't, dear mother of mine. Don't move me. In fact don't touch my body.]

"Eh? Why though? He should be comfortable with that position! Look! He's sleeping peacefully without moving in that position!" (Ark)

[Oh stupid father of mine. It's not like I to sleep in my stomach. I just can't move.]

"Anyways. Go to your work! I still need to finish the clothes of Leo. He's growing fast and needed new clothes!" (Nelia)

"Eh?! Can't we just do something like you know? Leo is still asleep you know?" (Ark)

"Oh. Do you want your johnson to get cut? Go! Go!" (Nelia)

"Alright alright. I'm off hon!" (Ark)

"Haah~" (Nelia)

After finishing their conversation, Nelia and Ark didn't bother Leo anymore and leave him alone to sleep.

But for why Leo is still lying on his stomach without moving was because his whole body aches. As if like a thousands of ants is crawling inside of his body. From time to time, his body will shake from pain.

[Fuuck!!! I overdone it! It fucking hurts!!!]

As for why he ended up with this situation? It's because of the stupidity he managed to acquire from his father.

[Hey! I'm not stupid, asshole! Anyway, explain it to me now why I can't move and my whole body hurts! I already negated the side effects of body enhancement with healing magic right?! Right?!]

Leo started to demand an explanation. But if he only think about it more carefully. He would realize that using a physical strength exceeding even a rank A adventurer, with a body of a 1 year old toddler, even reinforced by a healing magic, is fucking suicidal.

His lucky enough that his body didn't disintegrated or break down after using that power.

[Whaaaaaat????!!!!!!!!]

Realizing he almost died again. Leo began to sweat.

[We-well.... Its an emergency. Emergency! I need to kill first! It's for my family, yep! I did it for my family! I can only attack them head-on!]

Leo convinced himself that he did it for his family and all is well. He managed to calm down.

But in truth, he was just excited to used his power that time and completely forgot that he did it for his family. The reason he attack them head-on after the first sneak attacked was to test his newly obtain power.

[Fuck. It's all in the past now! All is well! Well then. How should I past time? I can't move my body and I can't even use magic. All of my mana is turned to healing attribute and keep healing my body.]

Brushing off the topic as if its not his problem. He focused to what he will do today.

[Hmmmm... I want to try "beast taming" I learned from that scar face man. But I can't move an inch of my body. And even If I could move. I still need to catch a beast to tame, which is impossible to the me right now. Hmmm.. what should I do?]

While deep in his thoughts. Nelia approach Leo then picked him up.

[!!!! It hurts!!!!]

"Hm? You're already awake? But why are you not moving? Hmmm..... anyway... Its time to eat." (Nelia)

Nelia took out her breast and put it Leo's mouth. Leo is already used to this so he diligently drink his mother's milk while still thinking what should he do to past time.

[Oh I know! I'll just try to feel mana outside of my body and try to control it if I can! Yes! That's a good way to past time!]

Leo immediately closed his eyes and concentrate to feel the mana in his surroundings. Sometimes he will shout at his mind "come here!" As if that will do anything.

[Hey shut up. I can't concentrate here. Go away if you will just distract me.]

After saying that, Leo goes back to what he was doing.

----

"His soul is already stabilizing. I need to prevent that, or I won't be able to devour his soul if the time comes."

In the middle of a dark cave. A shadow with a figure of a human stared at the pond in front of him. Inside of the pond, is the image of Leo, who's doing his best to try to feel the mana outside of his body.

"Hm? So you're here. There's no need for narration here."

He said as if the dark figure is talking to someone.

"I know you are a part of me and created you. But, I didn't expect that your behavior will become something from what I thought. Well, whatever. Talk to me like a normal person."

...

"... Whatever. So? What happened? Why his soul began to stabilize? You know you won't be able to devour his soul if you let that happen, do you?"

...

"We only need to nurture the body. As for the soul, its power will be ours once we devour it. So don't let him stabilize his soul. I know this will be a burden to you. But use the time-skip again. It will weaken his soul."

Time-skip. The one Le-

"But I hope you didn't tell anything unnecessary to him when the first time-skip happened. Right?"

....

Yes.

"Good. I won't be able hear your conversations inside of his head, and I can't monitor you all the time. So you better guide that boy to strengthen his body but at the same time keep his soul in check. So we won't have a problem later. Understand?"

Yes.

"Good. For how many years he will skipped. 7 years. 7 years will cause a severe damage to him, but he won't die from that. So it's okay."

....

"So that's it. I won't be able to monitor him, and that's the reason I created you from my piece of soul. So take a good care of our future body. Hehehehahahahahaha!!"

....

After laughing evilly, the dark figure suddenly vanish.

...

7 years. A 7 years time-skip will definitely stop Leo's soul to stabilize but it will also put some unbearable pain to his soul. It might cause him to fell into coma or there's even a chance his soul might completely break, that it might result to death.

After the dark figure left. His connection to me got cut again. He won't be able to read my thoughts.

He won't be able to expect that, his own creation, using his own soul. Will manage to obtain its own consciousness or will. If he learned about this, he might actually change the plan and remake me again before sending to Leo.

But even though I already have my own will. I still need to follow his command.

7 years it is.

Time-skip!
