Chapter 1 : Rebirth

"Where is my daughter?!"

"Huh, I'm going to die anyway so might as well bring your most precious daughter with me!"

It was just a split of second when Gerard saw a comet-like object going straight to a small black hole and before his subordinates made a move the comet together with the blackhole disappeared without a trace.

"Now it's a tie" the man laughed before coughing a mouthful of blood then fell down with a thud

"You are really sick Xyrus!" Gerard exclaimed as he gave several orders in one breath.

----

I don't know how long I've been in this dark space, it feels the same way before I was reborn.

Yes, I was reborn.

In my previous life, I grew up as an orphan.I never knew who my parents were, I wasn't also adopted because I always cried when other people touched me when I was younger and when I grew older, I've become so taciturn and no adopters would take me. When I turned 18, I left the orphanage to live on my own.

I was able to save money from my online jobs during my highschool years so I was able to buy a small house in the suburbs. I lived there alone, but it's fine. Living with other people will make life complicated.

Or so I thought.

When I got bored doing the same monotonous things in my daily life, I decided to take a walk in a park near my house. There I saw several people doing various things but what caught my attention was a family of four, a father, mother, brother and a small sister. The brother was taking care of his younger sister by feeding her and wiping her mouth while their parents were looking at them happily.

It was a beautiful picture, then I felt my heart thump, I was scared for a while before calming myself. I always need to keep my emotions in check due to my congenital heart disease, which was another reason why no ordinary adopters dared to shelter me.

Looking back at the family, I must admit that I am envious. Maybe deep inside my heart I also yearn for a family. A family who will spoil me, who will coax me to stop crying, who will love me despite my flaws. I know it's just a wishful thinking so I shrugged my head and planned to leave but before I left I took another glimpse to the family and there I saw a very freaking cliché, the little girl was running after her little ball across the road and on the other side, I think, is a car with a drunk driver because of the way his car swayed.

I don't know what I was thinking at that time. My body reacted faster than my brain. Maybe because I wish I have a family like that girl and know that whatever I do I will never have the life she have so I wanted to protect her,

Protect that happy picture.

I pushed the child on the other side of the road, I thought I could still save myself after but the car rushed towards me then I bumped my head towards the pedestal of a nearby lamp post.

After that accident, I don't know how long I've slept but when I opened my eyes I saw several people looking at me like I am some kind of a rare animal.

"She's so small," said a boy who looks 7-8 year old with dark hair and blue eyes. I don't know how I was able to know the meaning of his words because I'm pretty sure that his language is not the same as any of the languages I know.

"Of course she's small, she's only a few weeks old and aside from that…" then a woman, who looks like at her early twenties, with brown hair and extra dark eyes said like she's controlling herself not to cry

"shh, don't cry wife, it's my fault, it's not you, don't-" the man who looked like the little boy said but was cut by the pinch of the woman.

"What are you saying?! You didn't asked for her to have genetic defect, you did your best to protect her its just the deficiency is more powerful than what we've thought, so don't blame yourself"

"I know my wife will never blame me, I'm really lucky to have you in my life" the man said as he hugged the woman

"Parents, please don't spread dog food right now, look at my little sister! She already opened her eyes!" a young man exclaimed, he looks like he is also in his early twenties

Huh? Did I hear the young man right? He called the young couple, parents,so young?

" Wow mom! Her eyes look exactly like yours!" another young man who looks exactly as the previous young man said giddily.

And then, four pairs of blue eyes and a pair of black eyes excitedly looked in my direction.

Now I'm getting confused. Are they talking about me? I tried to lift my hands to pinch myself but my hands didn't want to work with me so I was only able to see a small hand raising. Is this my hand?!

Then I remembered about the accident before closing my eyes, I didn't die? No, I'm pretty sure I died in that accident so what is happening right now?

I took another look at the excited people around me and I noticed that I seem to be in a glass container, is this a casket? But the glass looks concave. And the feeling here is so relaxing, the feeling that makes me want to sleep.

"My lord, lady, and young masters, according to the data the young lady is out of danger now. She just needs to rest more as her mental power cannot keep up with her physique, a little movement will exhaust her mental energy" said a man, but he doesn't seem to be human, his face looks so cold with no extra emotion, like a… robot.

Robot

Concave relaxing casket

Small hands

I was reborn?! And on top of that I still have my previous life memory! Did my unlucky self turn to a koi because of that accident?

But before I could analyze the situation I got so tired and fell asleep.

Days and years went by before I confirmed that I was really reborn. Due to my S level physique and extremely low level mental power every move I made can exhaust me to fainting so it took almost 15 years to gather information about myself.

I am now Athena Tiara Flecker, the only daughter of Ayessa Lynrose and Gerard Flecker. I have three older brothers, the youngest one is Gavin Flecker who is now 23 years old, and the twins Arthur and George Flecker who just turned 60 last week, yes you read that one right. The two young men who I thought were only around 20 and my parents, who were actually 145 years old, were already old people in the ancient star civilization

Yup, ancient star, because the place where I was reborn is the Interstellar 3000 where orcs and human race interbred making a new civilization and is several thousands years away from the 21st century of the ancient star period.

The reason why I'm having a lot of difficulty in my body right now needs to go back to the evolution of species and interbreeding, the stronger the genes is the less likely for the specie to produce a daughter because the x chromosome that is carried by the father will be overwhelmed by the stronger y chromosome, but if an orc interbreeds with pure human, there is a slightly higher chance of producing a girl because human x chromosomes are more stronger compared to the x chromosome of an orc, although the Y chromosome can still overpower it, it can still attract the same chromosomes.

Having said that, the house of Flecker, who is known as one of the pillars of the new Interstellar era and a family of genetic orc warriors, never had a daughter for the last 10 generations. You will know that it was a long time because the average lifespan of genetic warriors is up to 500 years and that is just for the lowest ranking B physique. While ordinary people can last up to 300 years.

So when my parents found out that my mother, a human, is pregnant to a daughter they have taken extremely delicate countermeasures to make sure that the daughter who appeared after 10 generations will come out smoothly but they never thought that due to the delicate approach, the child's body became strong to the point of S physique but with a mental power worse than a baby. It's like making a car work using 5 double A batteries.

I can only stay awake for at least two hours a day. That is already a long time compared to the 20 minutes when I was a toddler and that is thanks to my second brother, George, who is a genius pharmacist.

Everyday my new family tries to be with me, or at least keep one person beside me during my waking hours.

If I only knew that my crazy wishes before my death would be fulfilled, I should have added a normal functioning body! My previous life was not enjoyable due to my heart disease. Now it is even less enjoyable because talking will cause my mental power to regress, moving will exhaust me, and most importantly, in my memory, it's almost 15 years since I last chewed food! Argh!

Nutrient solution is the mainstream in this fast phase era, where everyone is looking forward to adventures, discoveries and development of new planets or fighting with zergs and star beasts, so it is convenient to bring nutrient solutions, compact, easy to use and waste free.

The problem here for me is, I haven't even tasted the so-called nutrient solutions! All things that my body needs are directly injected into me! The nanny robot is in charge of cleaning me when I'm asleep, I really feel invalid due to this.

My parents and brothers probably knew what I'm feeling so whenever they talk to me, they make it sound like they are talking to a normal responsive person and they can also fill up their own conversations which is quite amusing.

I was already content in this kind of life, I may not be able to go out and see the interstellar but at least I have a family who cares about me like their lives, but maybe, the gods really don't find me pleasing to the eyes so on my 15th birthday when my third brother invented a device that can help me speak what's in my mind without using mental powers, I rushed to say the things I kept in my heart for the past 15 years

"Family, thank you, thank you for never giving up on me"

"Silly girl, you are our princess and a part of the family, if we give up on you it means we are giving up on our abilities and ourselves" my father said with a smile on his face but if you look closely you can see a tinge of red, that is not normal, on the corner of his eyes.

"Yes, my baby, you are my most beautiful treasure, my honey cake sweetie pie, the love of my life-"

"Wife! I'm the love of your life!"

"Oh sorry, I've got carried away"

"Don't worry lil' sis, I'll do my best to find cure for you" - second brother

"Rara, I will invent more things so you don't need to use mental power!" - third brother

"I will protect you" - eldest brother

"As if we can't protect Rara" scoffed Gavin

"Yeah, actually bro I feel like you're not really needed here, why don't you go back to your army and so not to take so much time of my lil sis' waking hours?" complained George

"You two already have stiff wings? Come, let me test in the training room!" Arthur coldly said

"boys, stop arguing in front of Rara, you are her elder brothers! You need to show a good example!" mom said

"I told you wife, these three are just debt collectors, we should have just thrown them all in the army before and we can live a life of three with our princess"

My brothers complained but not due to my dad's favoritism, but because they said they could also take me away and let the remaining brothers be a family of my parents.

So this is what a family is like.

Until I fell asleep that night, the feeling of being able to talk to my family can still make me so happy. If only I can live a normal life where I can be with them wherever they are, talk to them without the use of any machines, life will be more wonderful.

I know I just fell asleep that night, but why can't I open my eyes again? I don't know how long I'm sleeping this time, is my family worried now? Will mom cry secretly again? Will dad coax mom and blame himself again? Will Gavin and George stay in their laboratories again to help ease my situation? Will Arthur bully his soldiers again to vent his frustrations?

What makes me calm this time is my mental power. It feels like it found its oasis making the dry land come to life.

Did my second brother discover a new medicine for my disease? Maybe, if that is the case then all I need is to wait until I wake up naturally because I know I'm always safe with them.
