Chapter 1-The Accidental Findings

After the nurse injected me, somehow I fallen asleep. But now, I’m conscious somehow I could feel my body somewhat different. Looks like the operation was successful. Thanks to you Doctor Wei-ting I can still watch my favorite animes.

Slowly, I lifted up my eyes but all I could see was black and white color. The world seems somewhat lost its color and I think this was not the operation room nor my private room. My eyes could see the two big unfamiliar human smiling at me. I felt tired so much tired than before.

I don’t know how much time had passed but I could a glimpse of colors, I’m not color blind anymore. The house resemble a house barn. The house was made of woods and I couldn't understand what the big humans was saying to me.

When they lifted me up, I knew that I became a baby. I don’t know what happened or this was just dream?

Looks like I’ve been reborn. Still I refused to believed it maybe this was just a dream.

Two years had passed since I reborn into this world of Arganos. I’m still trying to act as a child in front of the two big humans or should I say my parents. I could understand them but still couldn’t talk to them, my tongue couldn’t processed it.

I’m happy that I’m still a man. My mother now has a small belly. And looks like I will have a baby brother soon or maybe a sister. I wish the latter.

My father job was similar to a  business man. He’s buying swords, potions and other strange things then selling it to a higher price in his store.

My family was part of a lower nobility. My parents background was poor but because of my father business minded. The kingdom granted him a lower nobility which was the highest they can give to a merchant that came from a poor background.

“Lee! Don’t go outside, there’s a monster there that eating the children.. Roar!” My mother Lisa said while acting a beautiful monster. She’s still preventing me to go outside. She has a long and wavy silver hair. A blue eyes that framed with a long silver eyelashes, a porcelain smooth skin. She’s a beauty, I thought at first that her silver hair and eyelashes was only an artificial color but looks like it’s not.

The people here were quite weird. There was a time that my father had a visitor and I saw that they too have different color of hair and eyes. Some even have a long tusk between their mouth.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

Everyday, my mother tenaciously taught me on how to read and write. I could read and write now somehow but still my mouth could only say gibberish things.

There was a time that I secretly went to my father’s books area or little library to be exact. That’s how I knew what the world I’m living now, the world of Arganos where strange things exist. This world consist of many different species of humans or sub-humans. They called elves, dwarfs, demi-beasts,divine and other that still unknown. The world of Arganos is yet to be fully explored.

One time, I saw my mother was quite Angry to my father. I don’t know what the reason because that time I still couldn't understand what they’re saying  A sparks of lighting surrounds her while my father kneel and somewhat begging for forgiveness. And when I read the book that confirms it, the magic exist here. And they have what they called Law of Magic.

After their fight, my father rarely went home. I think once or twice a week.

I read a book that entitled as Basic Magic. I tried what the book what said but the magic seems more complicated than I thought. Or maybe, I’m one of those magicless. The book said that thirty out of hundred could only wield magic. The chance of being magicless is higher, my father looks like also a magicless. Sometimes I wonder, how did my mother accepted my father. I think she’s too good for my father. I’m not exaggerating or anything but I think even the kings want to marry my mother. If she’s not my mother, I want to marry her too.

Little by little, I accepted my current life.  I recently know that children who’s not 5 years old and above should not come out to their houses or else they will get an incurable sick. Or maybe this was just a nonsense superstition.

Damn, I miss watching animes. I don’t know if my acting skills was just too good but my parents seems to see me as a normal child. I think that was thanks to my gibberish mouth.

After a year, somehow the gods granted my wish. My sister was born. And she looks like a splitting image of my mother. Her appearance will be a headache, that’s for sure.

My mother was quite busy because even we’re nobility, we don’t have a maid.

...

A man suddenly open our small door, “Lee, how was your mother and sister?” My father said. He has a short curly brown hair, a strong jawline, and a belly of a drinker.

“Mother is fine, and sister too. She said that you should not come near her or she might kill you.” I said to my father while he’s forcing himself to smile.

“Oh, she’s still angry, here give it to your mother.” He said and handed out a small brown bag that full of gold coins.

“And also, tell to your mother that I will give all of what you deserve.. soon,” He whispered. He patted my head and kissed my forehead before he left our house.

I had a solo room in the second floor of our house. My mother always told me that I should sleep early. But I couldn’t. Yes, the kids body are so much active. I found out that sleeping isn’t that easy like it used to be.

I remembered the things on earth, the food, the country of taiwan, and my recently favorite before I died, the animes.

While lying on my bed, I imagined that I’m eating french fries which was one of my favorite snacks.

Somehow, when I tried to bite the imaginary french fries. I felt that my imagination seems too real, the same taste, And the same smell. I munching a french fries in mouth.

When I lifted my eyes. I’m holding a french fries that similar to what I imagined on earth. I blinked my eyes a few times in disbelief. But the fries was still there.

Did some gods favored again my wish?

I tried to wish again a french fries to some god but none of it appear again. But the last fries  that I wished was still there.
