Prologue

I am dead. I know it is a strange way to start a story but it is what it is. I'm not even sure what...Okay that is a lie, I do remember why it happened.

It all started when I was a wee lad, I am a Japanese citizen born from a pretty average family. I am an only child born from a father who is a businessman and a mother who works as a nurse. You can understand that from the day I was born, little old me was destined to do great things, I guess you can say I succedeed. My life was not too bad at first, I had slightly above average grades and while I was what you would qualify a loner, I still had 1-2 acquaitances which was enough for me.

People frequently said that I looked cold and emotionless on the outside and that my average look didn't help in making contacts.

Despite that I was pretty satisfied with what I had. At least until that fateful day, the day that would forever change my life.

One day I had caught the flu, my mother insisted that I stayed in my room watching some TV which I complied to. It was then that I was introduced to the greatest pleasure of life, man's greatest invention : Anime.

For a kid like me who usually spent his time reading books or playing football outside, those things blew my mind, I was immediately hooked. I spent my following years consuming all that I could, from anime to manga to light novels to video games, I don't remember the amount of money that I blew on these things. It is when I discovered the Isekai subgenre that I finally found my true calling.

"I want to go into another world too. There I'll be the strongest, a badass person just like the ones from those books." This would forge my goal for the years to follow.

Unfortunately reality quickly hits me, I wanted to go to another world that was fine but how ? I tried everything, I looked up online, read books, tried those spells from those fantasy stories that supposedly allow oneself to teleport to a desired place. I tried so hard but still, nothing that worked. The next years were depressing, I had nothing to live for anymore I was like a zombie, doing the same thing over and over the sole reason that it was how I've been living since forever.

One Saturday, while I was out running an errand for my matriarch, I finally saw it ! A little girl, she was playing with her ball until it bounced on the street, a quick glance on the right and I saw a speeding car coming in dangerously close. It was at that point, at that point....I did not hesitate, I knew what I had to do.

+++++++++++

You now know everything.

Next thing I knew, I was in a dark place, I felt like something strange happened to me but since there was no source of light I had no idea what happened, it was kinda freaky.

I stood there in silence in what I dubbed "the Void" for quite a while. That is until I heard voice, I ignored them at first but they kept coming indicating that I wasn't alone.

After a few moments of confusion, I felt myself being pushed forward and hands wrapping around me, at that point I lost consciousness.

When I opened my eyes, I was greeted by the sight of a man and a woman smiling at me. The man seemed tall, he had thick white hair with a mustache and was wearing a long green cape and regal clothes he looked like he had been crying. The woman had a simplier appearance, diamond shaped earrings and long orange hair which extended well past the simple lavender gown she wore. She was currently holding me tighly to her chest.

No need to be a genius to know what happened. For someone like me who had seen this specific scenes in countless differents medias, the situation I was in was way too familiar.

I HAD BEEN REINCARNATED AND JUDGING BY THIS DUDE'S CLOTHING STYLE, IT IS A NEW WORLD. YEEEEES!

From what little information I could gather, this world was closer to your typical Medieval Fantasy that novels frequently uses...Kinda cliche and disappointing if you asked me but I've become an Isekai protagonist so I couldn't care less.

This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.

"Look Erwin, this is our child" The woman's voice was sweet and motherly, I could tell how happy she was that she gave birth to such a strong, healthy and beautiful baby.

"It really is and it's a boy. Praise be the Gods, I can't believe this day finally happened." The man let out a sigh of relief. He then looked at his wife, smiling all the way. "Myllistia, I am glad to see you safe."

"That is my line, I am surprised that managed to stay calm this time. I remember when I gave birth to Rumia, you were screaming more than me. So much that the maids had to escort you out of the room and refused to let you back in." The wo...My mother tried her best not to burst into laughter.

The guy frowned, not happy of being remembered of such embarassing memories.

The two of them shared a kiss, exchanged loving compliments and focused their attentions back on me. Unfortunate that being a newborn meant I could not talk anymore, I would have shouted for some privacy.

"Have you decided on a name yet ?"

"No....To be honest I was certain it was gonna be girl so I spent all night thinking about girls' names rather than boys'." Thanks dude, really cool.

"Me neither, as the potential heir,he should have a commanding name, a name that impose fear and respect." Was I reincarnated as the son of Military generals ? Just call me the same my old name, something like.....Wait, how come I can't remember my name ?

"Sora" Both my mom and I turned to the guy with mild surprise though only the former's could be seen.

"Sora, this child shall be named Sora." The man repeated proud of himself. To be fair, Sora wasn't a bad name, hell I always thought it was really cool so I'll gladly accept it.

The woman repeated my "new" name a few times as if to get used to saying it before nodding.

With his wife's approval, the man took me into his arms and held me high up in the sky. "From this day on, you will be known as Sora Malkuth."

"Rumia will be so happy" My mother said cheerfully, I guessed Rumia was their daughter which meant that she waw my older sister. I am fine with that, I have always wanted to have a sibling, part of me was envious whenever I was at school and I saw siblings doing things together. Besides, I knew that if reincarnation was real there was a chance that I would not be an only child anymore.

"Indeed, she's been pestering us for quite a while about seeing her sibling. She will be overjoyed." My father nodded looking outside the sole window in the room.

My mother looked down at me and started playing with my baby hands. Maybe it's because of my mental reverting back to a newborn but I caught myself laughing and smiling happily. "Now listen here Sora, no matter what you should always keep a close bond with your sister. Family is everything."

Seems like my new family is made of kind hearted persons. It doesn't really matter to me as long as I can accomplish my goal but I won't complain, everyone deserves to feel loved.

The man, his back still turned to us sniffled. He then took a tissue and wiped the upward part of his face with it. I now understand why he turned around ; My father is a huge crybaby.

"Our son....So healthy....So beautiful...Thank you Myllistia for talking me out of using magic to check on the baby before his birth. Seeing him now for the first time, it's.....I'm sorry." My father silently cried, I was not paying attention because something he said caught my attention. MAGIC !!!! So this world does indeed have magic, LETS GOOO !! Please, God, Goddess or whoever is in charge. Please let me be able to use magic.

This will be so freaking amazing if I can use magic. I can finally fulfill my all my deepest fantasies, I can be a superhero or a dark hero type of character. I can't contain....My exci...Thi..ll...zing.....

++++++++++

As exhaustion finally caught up to him, Sora felt fast asleep. Myllistia, still holding her son planted a kiss on his forehead.

"Good night my angel. It is fascinating yet strange, no matter how many times I look at him I feel as if I haven't given him enough love. One moment I was screaming in pain wishing for someone to end my suffering and the next moment I feel like I could do it all over again."

Erwin turned back and seeing the look in his wife's face, gulped in fear at what was awaiting him.

"Dear, let's have another one.", She exclaimed eyes sparkling as if it was the most normal thing to say.

"It seems like Sora is tired, I'll we take him to his room, you just lay here a little bit." He quickly answered carefully retrieving his son. He looked back to see his wife unsatisfied giving him a cute pout.

Erwin chuckled and they shared a passionate kiss. Myllistia smiled and giggled.

"You won now but I won't give up." The husband sighed at her determination.

"I will request for Aria to keep an eye on the child, I will also let Rumia knows that she won't be able to meet her brother until tomorrow."

"Oh my, she's gonna be so disappointed."

"It can't be helped that child is way too energetic for her own good. Plus remember how much we suffered to calm her down whenever she would throw a tantrum." The two of them cringed remembering how destructive their eldest daughter used to be.

"Anyways, you stay here and I'll come back later." The woman nodded happily.

"Alright" She kissed her son one last time.

"Welcome to the family, my little Sora."
