Bad start I

'Ugh, what the fuck was that?'

When I opened my eyes, that was my first thought. Before I lost consciousness, I heard a voice in my head. It was a mechanical voice. I didn't understand what it said, but what I could tell was that it sounded directly in my head.

'What I needed was, I was reborn with schizophrenia and to make matters worse, in a body that suffers from ailments.'

Focusing my vision around, I could see that I was in a baby crib and beyond the crib was a beautiful room. Seeing this room, it was more than clear that this family is undoubtedly wealthy. The room was spectacular and if you look closely, it seemed to be my own room as it was almost empty. There was only a crib, two rocking chairs, a rectangular table and a few pictures hanging on the walls.

'Well, it seems I got a prize, I was reborn into a wealthy family.'

Chiiiiiiiiiiir!

Pulling me out of my thoughts was the sound of a door opening. As I scanned the surroundings, I noticed the door to the room slowly opening. Entering through the door, a hooded individual could be seen.

- WARNING: KILLER INTENT DETECTED.

- WARNING: KILLER INTENT DETECTED.

- WARNING: KILLER INTENT DETECTED.

- WARNING: KILLER INTENT DETECTED.

- WARNING: KILLER INTENT DETECTED.

Upon seeing said subject, I immediately realized that things were not going well. The mechanical voice from before began to speak to me again, warning me of the danger that lay before me. But unfortunately for me, I had no way to defend myself from this individual. Deep inside, I could only think that I had a rather short life. I couldn't even scream or cry. I couldn't make a single fucking sound.

'Be quiet!'

In my mind, I ordered the annoying mechanical voice that kept warning me to shut up. There was no point in listening to warnings. The hooded individual suddenly appeared in front of the crib I was lying in. I couldn't help but be surprised, as I was near the door moments before. Somehow, he instantly moved in front of me.

"So this is the firstborn of the White Tiger of the House of Whiteheart. It's a shame things have to be this way. Ha, he even has his father's eyes."

The hooded individual pulled out an old paper containing strange circle drawings from his black robe. Shortly after taking out the paper, he approached me and took me out of the crib. He carried me with one of his arms and held the paper with his other hand. Shortly after, a sort of blue aura emerged from the hand holding the paper and slowly entered the paper. And when the circle that was drawn on the paper turned blue, our bodies were enveloped by a blinding light. I was forced to close my eyes and when I opened them again, I could see that our surroundings had completely changed.

'Teleportation using a lousy piece of paper and that strange aura... impossible.'

Seeing this phenomenon confirmed to me that this was not the Earth I came from. In fact, I didn't know if this planet could even be called Earth. Looking more closely at my surroundings, I could soon see that we were in an area with a beautiful dark blue sky with beautiful trees surrounding the surrounding area. It was evident that it was already nighttime and a large cliff could be seen in the distance. Seeing the cliff gave me goosebumps.

'Shit, it can't be. Is this bastard really thinking about killing me by throwing me off a cliff?'

- WARNING: THERE ARE NO PERMISSIONS TO REMOVE THE DETECTED THREAT.

Once again, I heard the mechanical voice in my head. The voice was asking for permission to remove the threat. Having no choice, I responded. I didn't know if I was the person it was asking permission from or if it was someone else. But there was nothing to lose by responding.

'I give you permission, do whatever you have to do to save my life.'

- THE CREATOR HAS GRANTED ACCESS TO ADMINISTRATOR PRIVILEGES.

- ANALYZING THE TARGET.

- UNKNOWN ENERGY DETECTED AROUND INDIVIDUAL. IT WAS CONCLUDED THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO ELIMINATE THE THREAT. THE VESSEL DOES NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT ENERGY TO ELIMINATE THE THREAT.

- ANALYZING ALTERNATIVES. THE THREAT IS IN DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE CONTAINER. THE 'EXTRACTION' FEATURE IS ACTIVATED.

- VITAL ENERGY OF THE VESSEL GRADUALLY RECOVERING: 5%, 6%, 7%.

'But what are you doing?'

- THE VITAL ENERGY OF THE VESSEL IS BEING RECOVERED AND THE THREAT IS BEING ELIMINATED PASSIVELY BY EXTRACTING ITS VITAL ENERGY.

'By life energy you mean...?'

- LIFE, PRIMORDIAL ENERGY WITH WHICH LIVING BEINGS ARE BORN. THIS VESSEL IS DAMAGED, THEREFORE, IT WILL BE REPAIRED USING THE VITAL ENERGY OF THE VESSEL.

'I see. And won't that bastard realize that you're stealing his life?'

- NEGATIVE. THE THREAT DOES NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO PERCEIVE SUCH ENERGY.

Talking to the mechanical voice cleared my doubts. Apparently, I don't have schizophrenia. I found that from the moment I gave permission to the mechanical voice, the pain in my body decreased substantially. With this fact, I have no doubt that this voice speaking to me is not a figment of my imagination.

"Gerard, blame it on your stupidity. Look at you for provoking that fucking psychopath. You stole the woman that guy loved, and to make matters worse, you had a baby with that woman. You should have protected your firstborn better."

The hooded individual walked slowly towards the cliff while mumbling words that I did not understand. His face, which was hidden by a black mask, was soon revealed by the individual, who removed the mask. Upon seeing the subject's face, I noticed madness in his eyes. They were vicious eyes. When I got to within a few centimeters of the cliff, the individual prepared to throw me into the abyss.

"So long, kid. This isn't personal. Either I kill you or they kill me. That's how things are. There's no turning back. My family comes first."

The bastard kept babbling. I didn't know what he was saying, but I could get an idea of what this guy was babbling about: some kind of excuse he was making up to justify his actions, killing a creature that can't defend itself.

'Bastard, if I ever get reincarnated again, I'll make you pay a million times over for this. I'll show you the same mercy you showed me.'

I didn't know what was happening to my luck. I was killed and reincarnated. I estimated that it hadn't been more than 24 hours and they were going to kill me again. Fuck all these bastards. They don't seem to care that I'm a baby. What world did I come to be reincarnated in? Damn it. Just when the bastard was about to drop me into the abyss, I heard the mechanical voice.

- VESSEL'S LIFE ENERGY RESTORED BY 10%. ESTIMATED TIME TO LOSE CONTACT WITH THREAT: 2 SECONDS.

- AMPLIFYING THE 'EXTRACTION' FEATURE. VITAL ENERGY FROM THE VESSEL TO 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%.

'That?'

"Ugh, what the fuck."

The bastard fell to his knees and let me fall in the end. But even though he let me fall into the abyss, I was laughing inside. The reason was simple: the mechanical voice managed to suck most of the life out of the bastard. Well, and here I was in free fall. As I fell, I managed to see the bastard's face. It was a face of pure shock, agony, disbelief, and who knows what else the bastard was feeling. The speed of my fall only increased with every second. This was without a doubt certain death.

- ACTIVATION OF VESSEL'S LATENT ABILITY FAILED.

- LATENT ABILITY OF THE CONTAINER IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE ENERGY SUPPLIED. ALL THE ENERGY IS CONCENTRATED IN THE BRAIN. THE BRAIN IS PROTECTED WITH THE 'REPAIRING' CHARACTERISTIC.

'What's the point of protecting the brain if I need the whole body to live?'

Shortly after giving my opinion to the mechanical voice, my eyes closed and I fell back into a slumber. My last thoughts were, 'At least I got a piece of life out of the bastard.'
