After the day he was given birth, he confirmed that he was in the married couples house (he had assumed it from what the two grown-ups were trying to tell him), he learnt a few things about what was happening to him and what was going on.

He was known as Ayrel in his past life then he was born again and given the name Ezra in this new life. In his past life, he once heard that some people used to say that when someone died they will be born again. He heard this during his time as a traveller but he does not accept that kind of morality. It was just a myth. However, he was in a phenomenon where he even doesn't understand.

Could it be that it was not just a superstition? Are the myths real!?

While he was pondering about his situation a sudden pain hit him. His tummy growl, he was hungry. Ever since he was in this infant form he was not able to control his body and emotion.

"Uwaaaa!!"

Without his consent, he started crying. Even he wanted to stop he couldn't. Then came a black-haired woman and pick him up from his cradle. He starting to get used to being called by his new name. As the young beautiful woman his supposed mother lift him, she started to cradle him in the crook of her arm. Then, .....she slid her magenta dress around her chest area...

This was the fearsome part for Ezra, for the baby they are a pure soul who knows nothing so this kind of thing was biological for them. On the other hand, Ezra was a young man who was inside an infant body so he felt contempt as he believes that this action had violated the universal moral standard,  but it was inevitable as this was his only source to satiate his hunger.

Day after day, he did nothing only to be staring at the ceiling or to be picked up by his parents, he felt it was a very long time for him to grow up.

Since he does not want to waste his time he did a lot of observation and investigation about this world. There are still plenty of questions that are still lingered in his mind.


Is this the same world as my previous life?


If it true then what era is he living in right now?


Is the magic principle here are still the same?


And through all of that, he solely able to come up with only a few speculations because he has a very limited source of information and that source of information was only two, Andrew and Katelyn Zavlov. If during the weekend they carried him outside of the house for a stroll, then that will be counted as three.

First, his father was formerly a B-Rank Adventurer. He was a Spearman. Now, he works as a guard in the town.

Second, his mother used to be a librarian but did not know which library and where because there was not a single library in his village.

Third, he was in Alcatraz Village. It is a fairly compact town, it is easy to travel anywhere.

Fourth, the part where it blew his mind was the colour change of the sky which used to be crimson during daylight and blue-violet aurora colour during the night but now it became azure during daylight and black or blue moonlight during the night. This had made him wondering about this unique world.

Even with the data he accumulated, it was still not enough to answer his question.


As for his magic, he did try to sense the mana from his surrounding and he succeeded to gather the mana into his body but only for a minor portion because the infant body could not hold a substantial amount of it or not it could injure the baby's body so the only spell he kept on using was

[Trace]

A spell that he simplifies instead of a long recitation. The spell used to sense the user's surrounding. It usually uses to detect if there is a nearby person or an enemy. It also uses to determine a place or item that had a high density of mana. It does not require mana from his body since the spell merely cost him the smaller amount of mana so he just soaks up the mana from his surrounding and utilized for that spell.

Every day he trains his [Trace], he wants his range of sensing to be wider because the spell was frequently used during his life as Ayrel and does benefit him.

For his other time, he mostly spent sleeping. Truly because he couldn't fight his drowsiness.

Always before bedtime, both of them came to see him and kissed him on the forehead and cheeks. He felt a warmth inside of him and it always growing bigger. He felt it when he was around them, both of his supposed mother and father. No, he begins to disclose them as his parent from now on and he had stopped dwelling on his past life. He was truly happy but he does not notice that it was because of the warmth of a loving family. He still does not realise that but he did cherish this lovely moment. The moment where he had long pursued for 25 years but never to be found.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Almost one year had passed by.

Early in the morning, the artistic golden sun got up like a baby and started painting the dark black sky into a bright blue sky. The bright looking milky clouds got up from sleep and hovering motionless near the horizon. There were an intoxicating brilliance and ebullience about the day, a kind of champagne-like cheeriness.

The day was also will be set in history to remark the freedom of being liberated from the chain of hellish hell. Today I should no more be staring at the ceiling and should be having my food plate at the table. However, the mom didn't believe him so he was still being breastfeeding and being locked in his cradle.

He didn't give up, in the afternoon he finally had a chance to prove to them. He remembered his master used to tell him that.....

"Every moment in your life is your second chance and every chance in your life is your last one"

So he will make full use of the chance given to him. With cheers and support he got from his back, Ezra focuses everything and put all of his efforts into his movement and muscles and stood up.

"Dear look at our boy!" (Katelyn) she reacted like a very proud mother and clapped her hands.

"Woah he did it!" (Andrew) and he reacted like a very proud father.

I did not end there, then I lift my right feet to the front and next to the left feet while maintaining my balance. My face became stiff, this was harder than I thought. I continued it simultaneously.

"Did you teach him?"(Katelyn)

".. Ah yeah.. I did ho ho ho..." (Andrew) he was bluffing that was obvious. I learnt it on my own don't you dare claim it, Andrew!!!

They were kind of surprised as well of course because I was still 10 months after being born but I was able to walk 5 meters (still while holding onto the wall or other object). Also because I was cheating. I circulated and embedded mana into my lower body and calves. It gives a huge boost to balance and strength to walk.

Hahahahha

But the victory could not be celebrated for daylong. Again he was fell asleep and in the end he was still being put into his cradle. Truly he did succeed and failed.

At least he earns some recognition and was able to be freed from the cradle and able to move around in the house.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On his first mission as being freed he checked out his house. His house was barely vast enough for a family of five. The walls are crumbling rocks and brown wooden plane. The floor is woodenly polished and the decorations on the walls are mostly relics and dad's spear??.. Why would he hang a numerous spear onto this wall...nevermind it was his wall, after all, he paid the walls with his own money so let him be with his weird fetish.

In conclusion, my house is pretty decent compare to the house I used to rent in my past life and there is two room that had caught my interest. My mother reading room's and the other one is locked.

Since I practising my [Trace] every day I was able to make it turn on involuntary and almost like forever. Abruptly, I sense people with an outstanding amount of mana approaching the house. It not only a person but five!

Ezra was terrified of this familiar feeling he had once encountered. He walked as fast as he could toward his father who was heading toward the front door after the door was knocked.

*knock *knock

Since he was still not accustomed to his body yet, he fell onto his stomach and his eyes became misty but attempted to fight back. This was not the time to whimper. He needs to warn his father no matter what.
