Chapter 2.1: The Heat Of A New Life
(Humm…Where am I ? and… who am I ?)
I get back my awareness and realize that I forget who I was but the only thing I remember is the place where I am at the moment are different from the place in my last memory. In front of my eyes , there is a big tree maybe it’s just a normal tree and behind it, there are more trees about twenty ?
(Oh ! I am in a forest ! Hahaha)
“Au--,auauauua!”
(Where is that noise coming from !?!)
A crying baby’s voice is reached to my ears from somewhere, I want to look for it but I don’t know why my body doesn’t listen to me, my body is heavier than I thought and why the voice seem likes it is next to me. When I try to find a way to move my body, a shadow rises over my face.
“Whose baby is this ?”
A ugly old man with beard wearing a robe is looking at me and saying that I am a baby. His sentence made me want to laugh but when I see two little hands swinging that makes me want to cry and I finally know what is happening with me now.
(So, this is my next life and I am an abandoned baby … What a great life!)
When I talked to myself about my first memory of my next life, the old man picks me up and takes me along with him.He is holding me by his right hand and at the same time , his left hand is carrying a big fabric bag likes Santa Claus.
(Wait…By the way… Who is Santa Claus?)
The name “Santa Claus” appears in my mind suddenly, it sound familiar but I don’t have any memory about it.
(Do I know the person named “Santa Claus” ? Is he my father ?)
I cut down further meaningless thoughts, my body is also tired because of crying, so I lose my sense and go to sleep easily in this man’s hand.
--
“Au--,auauauua!”
( Stop that noise please, I am sleeping…wait.. what !!! )
When I am confusing about the “Au--,auauauua!” noise which is interrupting my sleep, something is putting in my mouth. Immediately, I open my eyes widely and I almost startle because of the big body of the old man , he let me drink something white… oh it’s milk.
(The tatse likes the milk of cows ! Wait… What are milk and cow ? …I feel curious now!)
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
Sometimes, my mind appears some words that make me feel familiar but I don’t know what those meanings are, those words just like a wind.
And after that day, the old man becomes my father , he takes care of me really carefully likes his real baby, from morning to night, everyday, I really want to give my best thanks to this old man… no to my father. Under his caring for a long time, I figured out what cow is and what milk is and also my father's name is Romas Smith, a blacksmith, no wife but he is targeting the woman next door, Edda Lora. The reason why I know all of this is because he always uses me as a chance to talk to Edda but the only strange thing is that not only Romas and Edda but also other people who I met are short and muscle, I didn’t see my father’s muscle at the first time maybe because of his clothes, they hid his muscle, I feel like I am living in a world of muscle.
(What a muscle life! I must start worrying about my future from now on)
6 Years Later
I have lived with my father for 6 years and my body can be moved easily now. Somehow I'm very thankful for the time of being a baby is over, a baby’s body with a conscious soul makes me really confused and tired especially I can remember exactly 10,000 conversation between Edda and Romas also his love letter which he used all night to think and write when I was two years old. As the result, he didn’t give it to her.
( Some doors need to be closed forever ! I really pround of my patience )
“What are you thinking,Kuro ? Look! Now this side’s wider than the other”
*Bam *
“Ou ! It’s hurt, father!”
“I told you that forging something needs to be focus”
Under the rules of this village, the children who aged 6 years old need to know how to work, so that’s why I am hammering with my father in the workshop now.He gave me the name “Kuro Smith” to admit that I’m his son, I really appreciate his highness heart.
“Come on! There’s no power in your swing!”
“I am using a hammer which is bigger than my arms and I’m just 6 years old! There is no way I can use this big hammer”
“Stop complaining like a girl! Even Edda can use that hammer when she was 4.”
He always compares me with the lady in his dream even he hasn’t move a single step with her for 6 years. He teaches me everything he knows jobs, village, this world.
This village is Mei Village, it’s where dwarf tribe living and they doesn’t allow other kinds to enter their village. Mei Village is a village near a Mine, Axon Mine and coverd by a forest. The appearance of mine has put Romas in trouble because I am a human not dwarf, so I really want to help him by helping him in his job but the strength between of a dwarf, who is variously associated with wisdom, smithing, mining, crafting and also muscle, and a human kid likes throwing a straw against the wind. Blacksmith is a hard job for me at the moment but I don’t think that can stop me easily. In my 6th birthday, my father gave a ring which have been casted a spell calls “Magic Bag”, he said it will help me in the future to storage things that I want but I saw other kids had it too so I think it is this village’s traditional gift. After hammering lesson, we usually go to the mine because collecting materials is an important step of becoming a blacksmith. Most of my time is used to take care the Romas’s Weapon Shop, collecting materials in mine and watching Romas working. About the hammering lessons , he just wants me to get used to use a hammer, he doesn’t push me too much.
The magic ring is really useful to storage ores, they really heavy for a kid but seem likes it has its limit. It can only storage 100 items, if I put one more item in the magic bag, it will automatically throw everything in the bag out like arrows, so I have been warned about its danger everytime I use it.
Summarizing the schedule of my life is covered by mining, forging , muscle and also Edda.
