Rebirth

"Uwaaaaa..."

Someone is crying. Wait, is that me? Ah right, I have been reincarnated. It seems God was kind enough to leave my memories intact. I see woman who seems to be my mother? But I can't seem to clearly see her face. I guess that is how babies are.

"ks($20*@#$$"

It seems like mother is telling me something but I can't understand it. It seems this world has a different language. You could have left me some interpretation ability God.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A month has passed and it took me a while to see and hear properly but my mother looks really beautiful- long silver hair with jade colored eyes. I will surely look good, now I just need to confirm how my father looks.

It seems I'm getting hungry, what can I do I am still a growing boy. Hehe time for some "milkers". The secret to that is for me to cry … and so I let my natural instinct take over my infant body.

"$%&@fae!#%?"

Ah, I really need to get educated when I slowly comprehend their language. But first, I'll enjoy this very moment when mother feeds me.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Eight months has passed and there is still no sign of father. I can slightly understand what my mother and the people around her are saying now. Oh right, it seems like mother is from a rich family and it seems father is a soldier who is fighting right now in a war against monster hordes. I hope father will be okay. For now I'll just help myself with this happiness.

You probably are starting to wonder why I am not training? Well, you see. Do you need training when cleaning toilets? What I need is tolerance to endure anything - yes, the smell!

When I turn 1 year old, I will do some muscle training - so do not worry! Ah, this time I'm sleepy. I hope I grow fast soon. I want to start grinding soon. There is also that mission God entrusted me with.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A year has passed and we received the news that father had fallen to a dire state. I felt sad about it even if I did see his face yet. You're wondering why? Well, you see, when I was a kid my dad and mom always fought because of financial struggles. It's quite common for a poor family like us. Mom would always blame dad for not being able to deliver enough money for their expenses and dad would always smile at me cheering me up when I feel down about their fights. Even though Dad knew that mom was cheating on him for another rich guy, he still stayed loyal to mom. I couldn't hate dad for his kindness. When I became a successful writer in my last life, I gave 80% of my earning to dad and supported his wish to continue going to school at the age of 50. Dad's amazing right?

Right now, I want to do the same in this life. Luckily, mother seems to be a good person. Everyone around her would smile and treat her with great. She was kind and strict, a very strong and beautiful woman. I want to find a wife like her soon when I grow up. Wait, since this is set a thousand years ago in a different world, then is it possible to have arranged marriage!? OH YES!

"Why is young master lifting his fist on air?"

Ugh, that was embarrassing, A maid saw me but hey I'm a kid! It's normal for kids to have delusions.

"I'm sorry son, your father won't be able to come to your first birthday party"

My mother informed me about father's current condition. Even though she was smiling, I could feel that she was worried about me not seeing my father.

"It's okay mother. I understand."

I understood that father was a soldier fighting to protect humanity. But I wanted to at least see him healthy, so I would prefer seeing him in a later date when he is full of energy. I heard father was very insistent on going home when mother just gave birth to me. He is probably a doting father for sure.

It seems like it's my time to go to introduce myself to the audience who came specifically for my birthday. It looks like a lot of distinguished guests from powerful families had gathered. My household probably holds a very high position for them to be able to prepare this grand banquet for a little kid's birthday party.

I went up to the stage and people were staring at me. Well, this is certainly embarrassing. I feel like my legs have tensed up and my mind seemed to be in turmoil. This is too much for a guy who had stayed 20 years of his life inside the house most of the time. Yes, I did not have any friends that's why I kept staying in the house! I know, I'm pathetic so shut it. Alright big boy, you can do this!

"Goob Edning"

Ah... that was not a good start. The people in front of me looked at me with eyes that were about to ridicule me.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA OH GOD WHY!

A kid from a seat from the corner of the room was trying her best to contain her laughter. This is embarrassing. I want to die.

"Good evening."

Ah yes, finally I managed to say it.

"I am Clyde Clifton, of the Clifton House. Today will be my 1st birthday and I hope you have a great night. Thank you for coming and glory to the kingdom."

Silence had filled the atmosphere. Wait, did I say anything wrong?! I was pretty sure I did it well. You see I've been practicing it for a week and mother helped me!

After the silence, claps slowly started to emerge from the soundless atmosphere.

I puffed my chest - in my mind only. I am a kid, so if I did any mistakes no one will judge me for it. After all, I am still 1 year old.
