'Holy shit! What the fuck! WHAT?!-HOW-WHY-WHEN- How in the name of all that is sacred is this possible!!!???'
Now, you may be wondering "what is this dude so pissed about?" Well in the last chapter he found that he is somehow against all reason been reincarnated as a fetus.
'HOW THE THE HELL AM I A FETUS?!?!?!' Yes, don't repeat what I just said
Now, all this panicking had of course not gone unnoticed, Let's see what the parents are doing now shall we?
-Outside-
Back in the same old modest home we see the woman is excitedly calling out to her man as she felt her "captive"s panic attack
"MIKEY!! Come, quickly! our baby just kicked!"
there was a crashing noise in the kitchen followed by the clattering of metal proceeded by rapid footsteps as the man named Michael had just made a beeline for the woman calling out to him
"WHAT?! Really? Ray, is it true?!" he hurriedly asked as he slid on the flooring and nearly fell over their living room table
"Yes. I felt it. our baby just kicked and he's kicking quite a lot actually."
the man settles his hand on the woman's stomach, feeling for his unborn child
"You're right." he told her as caressed her stomach "I can feel it too. WOW! Those are some strong kicks, and real vigorous too."
"Yea." she sighed s she too felt it all, before squealing out "Oh I hope this means our child will be strong and healthy."
"With you as the mother, no doubt he will be." he told her before jokingly saying "I just hope he doesn't also inherit your behavior."
"Hey! what do you mean by that" she felt affronted
"Oh it's nothing dear" he assured her "just that our baby does not end up like you."
"HEY!"
all in all, the perfect picture of a happy and healthy couple
-Inside-
oh, it seems the unborn boy has finally calmed down
'Okay, let's leave the question of "how?" alone for now. Have to focus on "where?" first.' he thought, coming to a resolution
'Why don't I look at my "carriers" mind, maybe she knows something.'
well this should be interesting
so with a light application of [telepathy] he read her thoughts
'oohh I'm so excited, my baby is gonna be so big and strong I just know it. And undoubtedly handsome too. they're gonna be such heart breakers when they grow up.'
'Oooookay, seems she knows nothing.' he thought in disappointment, before continuing 'maybe I'll search deeper, at least figure out where I am.'
Oooooh I can already tell this will lead him to discover something crazy
and so in he delved deeper into his mothers psyche in search of answers and what he found can only be described as being magical
he saw vast lands of mysterious properties with unfamiliar plants and vegetation
dark forest filled with demonic beast of horror
towering trees supporting structures housing mysterious people with perfect features and long, pointed ears
mountains and caves billowing smoke and ash with short and stout men working with the rock and ores. their stature belying a hidden strength within
towering men and women standing to ludicrous heights and wielding tools the size of small trees
tribes of people with animal traits and features acting in a wild and feral way
humanoid creatures more Halloween in appearance than horrifying
all this and much more all strange and new to him yet he does not feel fear nor trepidation but rather excitement tinged with incredulity
'...Well, I can't believe it.' he was both amazed and dismayed 'This is a new world no doubt, it's basically the beginning of a fantasy reincarnation novel aimed at those who either has nothing better to do with their time or has nothing better to do with their life. Still, this begs the question. how did I end up here?'
how indeed, surely a question that will haunt him in the back of his mind for the years to come
'Welp, knowing how those stories go, it probably doesn't matter nor will it ever come up in this new life' he thought, completely disregarding the mystery and proceeding to throw it out his mind, through a window to be trampled by a herd of stampeding zebras.
really? that's it? and where did those zebras come from anyway?
'Now, this is exciting. A whole new world with new places to conquer, new subjects to master and even monsters to tame. oooh this will be so much fun!'
now you may be wondering "what is this dude blabbering about?" with all this talk of mastery and conquest
well let me fill you in on his backstory
his name is Adrien and he was born in his home world called Terra, he was an orphan presumably born on 1999 and lived in junkyard found on the outskirts of Berlin, capital of the country of Germania. there he spent his days tinkering with all sorts of mechanical and electronic contraptions and taught himself to read, write and speak using toys with electronic speakers and picture books, he was found at the age of eight by an eccentric billionaire who built his fortune on the power of machines and found the boy putting together a shabby looking but very impressive robot with an astounding sense of equilibrium, an eerily realistic synthetic voice and the an incredibly advanced learning algorithm.
this impressed him so much that he took the boy home with promises of pizza with chicken, onions and black olives and also gave the boy his name is "Adrien" for his dark hair and eyes and his greed that was immediately apparent with the he eyed the mans car. the man introduced himself as Albin, a self-made billionaire who made his fortune on high-performance cars and high-powered WMD's.
the man took the boy to a facility to figure out how li'l Adrien had unreasonably high intellect for a junkyard orphan and the answer shook him to his core
for the boy was no mere genius and nor a measly prodigy, but a miracle of nature.
the boy not only had an insanely high IQ, marking him as a genius but also a "Savant" of all three natures being a music prodigy, an art prodigy, and a mathematics prodigy. he also had "Hyperthemesia" or perfect memory, not photographic which is most prevalent in children and chipmunks but perfect, which will last hi to his dying day, he was also a natural "Ambidextrous" one who can use both hands on all things. He also had incredible senses, having perfect vision and hearing as well as "Tetrachromacy" and "+5 octave" range on his hearing. and he also had an incredibly sensitive tongue due to the "TAS2R38 mutation" which makes his taste buds so much more powerful. he also had "Synesthesia" but I'll come back to that later.
then they checked him for psychic powers and they were yet again amazed at what they found. for he was an Esper of unimaginable potential.
Espers in their world are those who have Extra Sensory Powers/Perception, hence the title "ESPer" and these abilities all come from an extra dimensional plane called "MIND" located at the head of a person. all people have this but only 1 in 100 ever activate it. the MIND's of espers have the psychic "circuits" formed from the the gather of psychic "points" that leave lines forming their circuits and where they gather they form a psychic "Core".
the quality talent and potential of an Esper can be determined by scanning the size, shape, amount, and formation of the Core and Circuits.
they found within Adrien the highest number of Points in all recorded history, a total amount of 1000 points exact in his MIND and that they were also abnormally large, surpassing even those that had had formed their cores and used their abilities for at least 10 years. and it was also already mostly formed and that they would gather into a Core by the time he was 12, another record.
and when they scanned the half-formed circuits they find that he had the potential for all psychic arts, from divination to telekinesis.
and so he was returned to his junkyard but not empty handed, Albin had bought the yard and gave it to him as well as had a nice cozy house built there with all sorts of quality hardware and equipment. Albin would visit often to check on his progress and his condition and occasionally take him to the city. they formed a bond and Albin eventually enrolled Adrien to a renowned High-school to not only further his education but also have him learn social interaction. he would of course pass with flying colors and be the best of his entire batch. then came college and he would attain PhD's on engineering, mathematics, physics, and programming. all within 4 years.
when it came to his psychic powers he indeed did manifest them at 12 and he did have the capacity for all forms of psychic teachings and uses and thus had the entire array of abilities an esper could have. This is where the "Synesthesia" came in. Synesthesia is a disorder that messes with the senses and adds extra attributes to the like seeing notes of music, tasting colors or hearing saltiness
his Synesthesia allowed him to see, hear, taste, smell, and feel psychic energies, his own and of others, this allowed unparalleled control over hi abilities and to completely overpower others as he could sense their own energies and unravel it easily with his own then proceed to decimate them.
and so he would pass college and Albin then invites Adrien to his company. turns out while he was away Albin had taken the junkyard and had built an entire facility there all for Adrien's personal use.
where he could do what he wanted and build whatever using company resources. of course he had to share these things with Albin but all was basically good.
then he became bored, well maybe not bored of his science but more like "tired" all he ever did was science and he wanted to do more, to see more, to see the world and experience all it had to offer. so he went on journey taking him across the world mastering all subjects from culinary to martial arts only stopping for Albin when he was nearing the end of his life, Adrien and Albin spent his last year on Terra together, recalling all the fun they had, all the places they went and all that they built. ALbin the passed on and left all he had to Adrien. Adrien spent a year after that in Berlin mourn his Father in all but blood and solidified the company's power base and then went on to continue his adventure across the globe. he had just finished it by the time he was 98 years old and had come back to his home in Berlin to rest before taking the company reins once more but instead found himself in the new world .
we now come back to his thoughts to see what he came up with now. 'Alright so, it seems I'm in an alternate world of some sort coincidentally also named Terra and A'm restarting as my entire life here. It's a bit of a bummer that I just left the company but it was a good 56 years of business and the company can handle itself without me, I made sure of it.'
'And hey, in this new life it seems I have a proper family that won't just throw me in a junkyard. Wonder what it would be like to have them.' he thought, before asking to himself 'Who are these people I wonder?'
