Chapter 1

 How could the world be such a cruel place to live? I can't stand living anymore or even the will to live...everything I did or says will be taken as a form of wrong and underserved. 

So many precious things were taken away from me and neither can I say that the past 25 years of my life were enjoyable or fortunate. 

My parents treated me like I'm trash and a failure of their love product and my siblings shun away from me. My first love for my childhood friend was taken away by my very so-called best friend and my wife that cheated on me every time I was working for my job. 

For years, I've been working myself to death just for the sake to make her happy and for the child that was soon to be born, yet, one day, when I returned from my workplace, I heard a suspicious moan coming from our room. 

I didn't want to believe it and kept refusing, but when my very own eyes saw the sinful acts she does, I broke down. I was frustrated and there was anguish anger rising inside of me, but as cowardly as I am, I didn't do anything. 

Without disturbing or calling her out for cheating, I left the house with the eyes of death and void. My heart cracked like glass and my mind was broken beyond repair. 

I'm like a puppet without a soul with no goals or any emotions. Days passed by and this emptiness and loneliness became even depressing to the point, there was no salvation. I cursed myself and my fate and wonder why do I have such a miserable life? 

A tear strolled down from my eyes as I sat on my bed in my bedroom. My current appearance was a bit haggard and I look like someone who hasn't been eaten for days. My 'wife' is out for her work and who knows what kind of adultery is she committing right now.

There was no more anger or regrets because I feel absolutely nothing and empty. Even if someone stabs my heart right now, I would gladly thank him for releasing me from this harsh world. 

All this long, I thought my wife would be the one to make me happy, but even that seems to be a lie. Instead of making for becoming my pillar of hope, she became the key to my downfall. 

It's nobody fault that things become this way and I just wanted to be freed. I guess the only way to do that is by freeing myself right?

I chuckled a little bit like an insane person as I stared down into the rope I'm holding. Day after day my mind and spirit are deteriorating and there's nothing I can do to stop it. There's no more hope of changing my wife nor changing myself. 

It might sound pathetic of me to be like this, but no one would understand just what kind of pain I've been experiencing and I just wanted some love and happiness.

I tied up the rope to the ceiling and created a knot around my neck and kicked the chair that was supporting me afterwards. 

Ah...this is it...I'm finally going to be freed from this life. I could feel the pain around my neck and the difficulty to breathe. The more time passed, the painful it became. 

However, in my mind, there was no pain except happiness. Flashes of memories appeared inside my mind and none of them was what I called a memorial of happiness. 

The times and memories I spent with my wife that I thought were happiness turns out to be a lie in disguise. Seeing those flashes and remembering the feelings, I cried. 

Why can't I just experience a simple form of happiness? Is it that hard to do? Was I a notorious criminal in my past life and this was my punishment? 

I cried with how unfair the world was to me but at the same time, I didn't care about it anymore. I don't care whether I'm going to heaven or hell anymore, but if there's a place for me to go I wish my life could be a bit happier than before. 

I wish and yearn for that kind of thing and I'm clueless why I'm wishing as though it's going to come true, but god, if there's any tiny bit of compassion from you, please let me be in a place where I would be happy.

3rd Pov 

Perhaps the god must have heard his prayer or it took a pity on him that it granted him his wish if it exists in the first place. Unbeknownst to Daniel, the moment he died, his soul flew across the countless galaxy, stars, planets, even black holes and white holes to be reincarnated in one of the planets in a galaxy far far away. 

It's a planet akin to Earth, but more advanced and futuristic. It's a planet where it doesn't have a name but govern and controlled by a family named Reilass. Reilass Family controlled a galaxy that host at least a billion planets. 

Let this number and info falter you as the universe has million or maybe even trillions of galaxies. Unlike Earths humanity where its technologies are too lacking to initiate contact with other lifeforms, some humans in other planets and galaxies have made contact with other lifeforms. 

Through millions of years of allying with one another planets and galaxies, they have created an intergalactic Empires where they are the main powerhouses that controlled an overwhelming number of galaxies. 

A such, the reilass family are just a tiny small fraction compare to the numbers of families out there controlling galaxies far beyond what the reilass could ever govern and it's all because of their incompetency, to be specific, the parents of Daniel reincarnation. 

Without knowing how or why Daniel has been reincarnated inside the planet where the Reilass family resides in. 

"*Ha, ha, ha,* I've finally given birth to the child...our deal and promise has been made" 

A matured woman is currently taking her breath after just giving birth to her child. She's a human race with glossing skin and beautiful face with brown long hair. 

"I know Roze, with the child, we can finally escape from the hellhole of being the Reilass Family" 

A man in his thirties stood by her side. While there were nurses, maids and doctors trying to help his 'wife', the man did not spare a glance towards her. In another word, he didn't care about her at all nor about his child. 

"With that, we can finally begin the plans we made before, but we still had to wait for a couple of years before we can hand everything"

The man crossed his arms while looking at his child where the doctor has placed him beside his wife.

"I know...."

The wife looked at her son with a gaze that holds no care or love except for some pity that both of them were going to burden him in the future. 

Unknown to them, Daniel who has reincarnated as the baby is currently panicking. 

'Where the hell am I!? Why did I become so small and who are these two people and why does everything look so different from Earth!?"

He had so many questions. Sure enough, the hospital room where the woman delivered her baby couldn't describe the same as on Earth. Everything looked so advance and there were even capsules and other machinery that Daniel couldn't recognise. 

He became even more confused when he remembered about his suicide and feelings. 

'Don't tell me I've reincarnated!? The stories that were told and illustrated in many novels and comics, the infamous genre, the reincarnation!?'

Though he became panicked and in dilemma about the situation he's quick to caught in things and it's one of his traits. 

No matter how unhappy he is, there's one hobby he loves to indulge upon as a form of escaping reality and that were fictions such as novels, comics and movies. 

They were reality where he wishes he could be a part of it and it's the only time whee he could find true happiness. Now that his wish has been granted, he thanked the god as hard as he could while being happy. 

'I can't believe I've reincarnated! So this two extremely fine-looking people should be my parents, right? But come to think of it, what kind of place was I reincarnated too? For sure the technology in this room looks far completely advanced to Earth"

Daniel speculated while observing around with his eyes. As soon as he stopped and gazed into his mother beautiful crimson eyes, he can't help but be taken aback by how mesmerizing they were. 

He became so lots with the eyes that he tried to grab her nose with his tiny hands. 

"Kyaaa" He cried out being frustrated on how he was unable to grab her nose. 

'I see...so because of being born in a baby's body and mind that I can't control my feelings'

He's surprised to see why he cried so suddenly despite not feeling the need to, but to those people around him, they were shocked with their eyes open. 

Not because of the baby's cry, but because of the mother actions. 

Seeing the newborn baby, an unknown feeling has awakened inside of her. 

'What is this feeling? Why does my heart ache so much seeing him crying...why does he seem so fragile? It makes me want to hug him and protect him from the dangers that this universe holds' 

With her hands, she slowly caressed her son's back carefully while trying to stop him crying. It's unbelievable and ridiculous from the perspective of the man, but the woman didn't know why she wanted to protect the baby. 

"Oi, why are you acting like that? Stop pretending as you care for him, didn't you wanted this to happen? To be freed?" 

The man gritted his teeth while looking at the woman with scowling eyes. He hated and disliked with how she's beginning to care for the baby. 

"I...don't know...but he just feels so precious" 

"Hahaha, are you making a joke right now? Didn't you confidently declared 12 months ago that you're going to bear a child for the sake of relieving the burden our ancestors left us!? So, why are being someone who genuinely loves her baby?" 

"....." 

She didn't reply because she knew that everything he said was the truth and she can't refute that. Seeing her wife in name did not answer, the man left the room with a dissatisfied expression. 

He felt like vomiting from her care since what they have been doing till now will be a burden to his child. So for her wife to act like that while knowing what they were about to do, he can't help but be disgusted.  

'Ha! Don't make me laugh! Everything that we have been doing is for today's sake and only years, later on, can I be deprived of the burden of being the Reilass Family'

'There's no need for me to feel pity or sympathy because this is just the way how the universe work' 

In the lonely room, Daniel is currently can't by the beauty of his mother while not realising about the content of his parent's conversation earlier on. 

"Aren't you a bit active for a newborn child? Come to think of it, you do have my eyes and brown hair and everything about you is me..." 

The mother commented on Daniels looks but the more she complimented, the more emotional she became. 

"I'm so sorry for letting you born into this world and I'm sorry for going to burden you with our problems in the future" 

She cried with tears of guilty as she hugged and embrace her one and only child. Seeing that an innocent child in the future is going to withhold their burdens, an indescribable amount of guilt overwhelmed her. 

"I didn't want this to happen and I wish I had another choice, but the universe is too cruel for us...I wish I was born into another galaxy far far away from here where I could raise you properly"

The mother lashed out her wish and true feelings. She didn't wish for this to happen and neither did she has any choice and in the end, to escape from the burden, they had to place it to someone else. 

And that was their one and only child, Daniel Reilass. 

The only person that wasn't able to understand anything was Daniel. He became perplexed and baffled by her claim and reasons, and he didn't know what she meant by burden. 

In his mind, there's only joy and soothing feeling from being embrace by his own mother. 

'Is this what it feels like to be loved by your parents? Though, I'm not entirely sure what she's talking about...this genuine feeling that she's sending through the huge is not fake. I can feel her sincerity in it' 

Daniel enjoyed the moment with a warm smile and he wonders what the future would hold in for him but for now, he indulges himself in this weird yet bizarre warm feeling and without realising it, he closely closed his eyes and sleep. 

"Looks like he went asleep despite my cries. But even his sleeping face is kind of cute...I wonder what would he look like in the future?" 

She imagined and pictured his appearance in the future but later on, she became sad about whether she will be there to see it or not. After some time, she called the maids and nurses that left for her to spend some time with her son. 

Around her arm, there's a metallic ring with an attractive design whereby pressing it's mid will form a hologram features and info. There were many features that this hologram has, and one of them is similar to Earth cellphones, the feature of sending a message, calls, pictures or videos.

Immediately, dozens of maids and nurse came by with unrest expression. In the household of Reilass, it's a must to wear the wrist that is custom made since, at any point in time, they will need to heed the orders of the family. 

"We're here Head Mistress, what are your orders for us to do?" All of them bowed down courtesy while awaiting the woman orders. They were trying to relax but the presence of the woman just alone is pressuring them. 

"My baby is asleep right now and I'm currently exhausted, so can you help him for his needs and prepare some Medicine pills for me to recover?" 

"Yes, Head Mistress!" 

The maids then took away the baby to another room while preparing and renovating the room into an environment where he could sleep comfortably.  While the nurses began preparing some med pills for her to recover. 

"Sigh, what should I do now? There's no way I could return and undo back the things I've done..." She muttered depressingly after feeling a bit better from the med pills that recover her exhausted state to normal. 

While her words could be heard through the room, none of the nurses spared their thoughts on it, afraid of being punished from being too nosy. At best, they could only accept from what's about to happen in the future. 

'I guess history is about to repeat itself again...' All of the nurses thought the same thing while continuing in their work with lack of motivation.  They surrendered their self to it knowing nothing would ever change now or in the future. 

Slowly days passed by and contrary to the mother's thoughts, she did the opposite of what the past her would do. She does everything that a mother does. 

She took care of Daniel diligently and carefully to the point even the man, her husband, became stunned and fury by her pretence. She fed Daniel with her milk, bath him and sang him with lullabies in the night. 

"Do you think whatever you did now will make it better for the future? Hahaha, or do you think by behaving like a mother could you outdo your guilt? Or even better, what do you think would that child think when his own very mother that he thought she loves him abandoned him?" 

The man ridicules the woman while she gently patted Daniel to sleep in his bedroom inside his own room for what seems to be big as a single house. 

"...." The woman kept her silent but the more she thinks about it the more pain she felt. 

"Hmpf, keep all the silence you have and enjoy it while it still last because once the child realizes what we have done to him in the future, he will hate us to the core" The man sounded and afterwards he left. 

'Am I making the right choice? Does feeding him love and abandoning him in the future will change everything' 

She dwells in her thought while looking at her son's face. She didn't know the answers to her thoughts and it's the source of her problems. She bites her lips in frustration about how angry she is to herself. 

'If there would have been any other choices then I would had grabbed them!' She laid down beside her baby and cried while leaning on to his face. 

From then on, months passed by and each day, Daniel learned more new things than he could imagine too and at the same time, never once did he ever get the chance to experience the sight outside the world. 

He was secluded and strictly well taken care of by his mother and no one else. She became more closer and attracted to him where it became a problem for her. The more closer and love she has for him, the more painful and hard for him to leave by his side. 

It wasn't long before 5 years have passed by like a click of a finger yet the number to the universe is like a second. Daniel can walk completely without any help or assistance and from all of the time he spent here has earned him the nickname of 'Troublesome Child' due to his extreme curiosity. 

Currently, inside his room, Daniel is playing with his micro lego toys where by using his thoughts, he's able to create any patterns and architectures he wishes to build. 

'No matter how many times I play with this toy, it doesn't fail to amaze me with its characteristic...if the earth has this kind of technology it would definitely create a new era of technology'

With the limited numbers of micro legos, he's able to create some small designs that are the same size as him. While he's playing with the toy, his parents, Dek and Maila entered his room. One contained a smile while the other is a forced one filled with sadness. 

"Father? Mother?" 

It's rare for them to visit him while he's playing by himself, so it's kind of unexpected to see them entering. 

'What are they here for....?'

All this time, he has always seen his parents arguing about something that he couldn't hear and sometimes when he heard some few words about it, he panicked. He knows something is wrong with the family and they have a huge problem. 

So seeing them coming in with mixtures of smiles, he could only feel a bad omen especially when he saw his father holding a document.

"Ah! My son, how have you been doing? Father has come here to talk to you about. Isn't that right, Maila?"

The father walked happily and sat down bt Daniel's side and Maila on his left. 

"Yes, that's right..." Maila forced herself to sound happy while feeling uncomfortable with the situation. 

"Something to talk to me about? What is it then?" 

Between his mother and father, he's closer to his mother due to how rare his father spoke to him. Rather than being familiar, it felt like a stranger for Daniel. 

And what's even strange is that he has something to talk to him which sounds very important yet contain a dangerous vibe to it. 

"If I'm not wrong, your birthday is coming up soon, right? So, we have a piece of good news for you. All this time while your mother has been the one giving you gifts, so my gift for you is to give everything I have to you. In another word, you'll be inheriting my position as the head of the family. Isn't that good?" 

The father convinced him with a smile while showing him the documents that stated everything that the Reilass Family will be inherited and belong to him if he signs it. 

'What is this!? What kind of father would let his son inherited his position without being prepared for it? There's no way he's giving that easily unless there's something wrong and hidden within the reilass family' 

He speculated and seeing his mother looking at him with a hint of sadness only confirmed his theory. However, as smart as he is, he didn't has the power to reject it and in the worst case, they will be able to forge his signature without him knowing. 

"B-But isn't this too heavy and burden for me who doesn't has any skills in managing my own colony?" 

He questioned with confused eyes. Through the 5 years, he has found out that the Reilass Family controlled a single galaxy that hosts a billion planets. It blew his mind and concept of colonization but as times passes by, he accepted the reality of it. 

He became excited when he thought how much wonders and fantasies does the galax has. But, now that the opportunity is presented to him, he couldn't help but feel something wrong with it.  

"About that, you don't have to worry about it. In the future, you will enter a capsule for you to learn the knowledge about it. By signing the document, you can have whatever you want and do whatever you want"

The father tried to tempt his son by brining a silvery pen closer to him. 

"B-But..." He hesitated which cause anger to rise up inside the father. 

"Sweety...don't worry about anything. As long as I'm here with you, nothing could go wrong and everything will be fine"

The mother comforted by placing her hand around him with shaky hands. It could be said that his mother words were the whispers of an angel as the love he felt from her fulfilled his wish of being loved. 

Hearing his mum's whispers, Daniel listened to it and his omen feelings begin to wash away. Whenever he feels sad or angry, his mother voice would be there to calm him down. 

There's nothing in the universe that could change him except his mother. 

'Besides, if mum's here with me and is there for me, nothing could go wrong. She's the only person that I cared for and as long as she believes in me, I could do the impossible'

Daniel convinced and smiled at this thought and without further ado, he grabbed the pen and signed his name. 

Watching him signing the pen, the father felt joy while the mother had a mix of feelings about it. She wanted to stop from the unstoppable, but she too wanted her freedom, so she could only close her eyes and accept it while trying to prevent herself from crying. 

Little did they know that if the mother had stopped Daniel, it would change her life for the better or worse.
