Chapter 2

Hehehe. The System is scared shitless, as an i.

I asked the System about her.

Apparently, the elf is one of the strongest beings in the world. Governing her own kingdom or duchy or something. She's been at half step Ascendant for hundreds of years. Only answers to the Empress in matters of defending the border.

And nothing else.

She seems nice. I don't know Why the System is terrified of her.

I'm sure she won't feel threatened by a baby like me. Right?

Hmmmmm…

Cultivation huh? That's cool. That is very cool. Cultivation means Cultivators. It means Retards roam the Streets. Young masters flaunting their backing. Old monsters waiting for young geniuses to exploit and kill. Also...

Dual Cultivation Sects

Women only Ice Sects

Heavenly Sword Sects

Fire Phoenix Sects

Some bald and strong earth Sects?

Ugh. What a pain in the ass.

And what's this about a mana core? Aren't cultivators supposed to comprehend heaven and earth? Making tiny universe and seas in their Dantian and shit? In the novels I read there was some distinction and similarities between the Mana core and Dantian and meridians.

You cultivate to reach the peak and become a powerhouse. You gain extended life span, till you become an immortal. Sometimes it doesn't even end there.

Mana core I've seen mostly in anime and manga.

They are mostly mortals. And they use spells.

Ugh my tiny baby head hurts.

Guess I'll find out later…

It's been a few days since I woke up. And I've been thinking. Who are my parents? Where am I? Why does the elf lady care for me and the other children? Is the little maid "adopted" like me? Or was she assigned to me? And isn't she a child too? She looks to be 8 at most.

I've been recuperating in my room. The little maid and the Busty maid bring me breakfast, lunch, and dinner on time every time. Gotta hand it to them, they're very punctual.

And the wet nurse always stuffs my face in her bosom to drink her milk. So sweet and tasty. Can't get enough of it…

I've been trying to convey to them to come sit with me and eat. But they both vehemently refused every time. Guess they eat before coming here. Oh well. More for me, i guess.

The fox girl comes after I eat. She just peeks through the door until I make eye contact with her. And she just giggles and leaves. So adorable.

The elf lady comes at noon with the cat baby in a stroller and another demure looking maid, With black hair in a bun and black eyes. The baby is always a sleep. Must be nocturnal.

Yeah, the baby has cat ears... It's a demicat person? Dunno, don't care,she's a cute baby, and that's all that matters.

The elf sits next to me and pats my head. Some sort of green light shine briefly. After that she smiles and caresses my hair gently. My hair reaches my shoulder since I assume it was never cut since I was born. After that she massages my muscles and makes me do light exercises.

Been a week on this routine and I grew accustomed to it. Very chill really. Eat,exercise, sleep. What's not to love? It is boring but what can I do? I'm a baby…

Two weeks and I started feeling better. My body is improving steadily, and I can walk without help. Kind of fast right? Of course, it is, this is a fantasy world after all. I assume I'm a freak.

After all they were shocked when they saw me run, jump, sprint, slide. In only 3 weeks since I woke up. Been maybe 70 years since I did that in my youth. Ahhh~ good times.

A month passed.

A month since I woke up. My mistress (the elf lady) started taking me to the library on the 3rd floor. The library Consists of 5 hallways with books on both sides, the shelves reaching 5 meter tall and the hallways 100 meter long. Most of the floor.

Too much really.

She sat me on a table next to her and started teaching me letters and words of the language of the world.

Since the system has already taught me the language I just started bit by bit showing her how studious and genius I am. Gotta plan early you know?

Took 2 weeks of Learning until I started speaking fluently. And for some reason she never doubted me. Strange. She never even bats an eye. Guess when you're a Calamity class existence logic tends to fly over your head.

"Very good! You're Learning at an excellent pace. What a good boy you are!" said the elf.

I blushed and said, "it's all thanks to you my lady".

"fufufu~ Why don't you call me mother? Mama or mom?"

I stared at her and said in a neutral voice "but you're not my mom".

"Tsk. Whatever. Oh, by the way, do you want me to name you? Or do you have a name in mind?"

Oh right. I don't have a name. She only refers to me by Boy, kid or baby. Never crossed my mind that I don't have a name yet.

"Please name me mistress! I will treasure it! " I said to her with puppy eyes and clenching her dress. That's the least I can do to repay her for taking care of me all these 3? 4? Years of my life.

"How about… Jason? Pretty cool name, right?"

Very bland but I'll take it I guess.

"I love it! My name is Jason from hence forth" after that I posed and looked into the distance.

My mistress giggled after the cheesy pose I did. God her laugh is music to my ears.

"So, what's your name my lady? I've only heard the staff call you my lady or mistress. But I never caught your name."

She stared at me and smiled mysteriously. Then said.

"My name is only known to my love."

I looked to her eyes and saw a shade of sadness. It pained me witnessing it. That invisible pain and loneliness only known to her. I wanted to take it away. To be the only one to know her name, is to be her lover. I deduce that they must be dead.

"I'm… Sorry about that."

The elf lady looked at me and squinted her eyes "You're really perceptive, aren't you? "said the elf.

I flinched and said:" Ahaha, I saw how sad you looked and I just assumed. Forgive me."

The elf giggled and said:" Fufufu~, you're too mature for your age. "

I made a stupid face and said:" What does Mature mean" While picking my nose.

She sighed and "let's get back to studying, shall we?".

I nodded enthusiastically.
