Trying my best to restrain myself from acting stupidly on my very first day in the world, I calmly looked around the room, even though it had sort of an old look to it, it pretty much looked like a comfortable place to reside in.
My gaze fell on my mother or new mother, I suppose. She had a smile on her face that perfectly complimented her pretty face, pitch-black hair that was in a perfect combination with her pale skin, and blue eyes which were full of kindness and gentleness. She was smiling and was looking at me lovingly. I found myself wanting to cling to her for some reason, I guess that’s why babies stop crying when their mothers hold them in their arms, hah?
I peeled my eyes off her and looked at the young man holding a sword in his hand, he had a big smile on his face and he kept on looking at me with teary eyes. The man looked really handsome, he had disheveled dirty blond hair, a broad forehead, and amethyst eyes that seemed to shine despite the room being dim. If I am not wrong then this guy must be my father.
‘Why the hell is he carrying a sword though? Is it some kind of a ritual or maybe something like a tradition?’
I was thinking about the possible reason behind my father bringing a sword during his child’s birth when suddenly
“Can I see him?” An unexpected voice called out to my parents, the voice belonged to the old man with the bone necklace around his neck. My parents looked at each other for a moment and then, without any resistance whatsoever I was handed over to the old man.
‘Is he really a doctor?’ I thought, looking at him he looked more like some voodoo practitioner than a doctor.
And I don’t know why but for some reason I am also able to understand what these people are saying. Aren’t I just getting too many cheats? Maybe something called a ‘system’ might pop up any moment now.
Coming back to the present scenario,
The doctor or whatever anyone might call him, took me in his arms and placed his forehead against mine. He stood in that position for around a minute, I was confused and I didn’t know what to do, so in the end, I just decided to stay like that too and not make any noise.
Is he checking my body using some magical technique? Hmm… now that I think about it, doesn’t he kind of… looks like… an… exorcist?
Hahaha, yep he totally looks like an exorcist!
An exorcist…
Exorcist…?
Just as this thought crossed my mind I pissed myself, quite literally, and started crying loudly.
“Uwaaa waaaaa!!!”
This time, I didn’t think about the earlier 21 years of my life or how shameful it would be to cry, I just started crying without thinking about anything else, I don’t know if this is a fantasy world or not, but, if by any chance I am caught by these people here, then I can say goodbye to any and all the dreams of a fantasy life or even a second chance in life that I had brewing in my head for a last couple of minutes. Who knows what they might do with me once I am found out.
I would do anything I can in order to survive. My second life hadn’t even started yet and now I was in the danger of being found out… Gahhh!!! I screwed up! I have to cry, louder!
“Waaaahhhh aahahhh!!!”
Clearer!
“Waaaahhhh uwaaahh!!!”
With more ferocity!
“Aaahhhhh! Waaahhhh!!!”
Now even I started feeling ashamed from crying this loudly.
But thanks to all the good deeds I had committed in my past life (that obviously included feeding stray dogs and cats), the doctor just smiled at me, patted my back, handed me over to my mother and said,
“Checked him, his vital signs are okay and there’s no chance of him being possessed either. I know that it is a bit late but congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Griffith” said the old doctor with a genial smile on his face
My mother and father, although confused and terrified at first beamed when they heard that I was okay and kissed me on my forehead.
I found myself blushing after getting kissed by someone so beautiful
And wait… did this old guy just say ‘no chance of being possessed’?
Mum! Dad! This guy is a fraud!!!
