Staring at the thick book in his arms . The toddler cutely opened the cover and started reading carefully , him moving his head along with his eyes following the words on the book looks so cute and a feast to the eyes of a certain tree .
Yggdrasil extended his branches and a whole set of soft clothing suddenly appeared around the toddler's body . The cloth was made from the fibers of his body , Ygdrassil carefully looked at the onesie he created and waved his branches in satisfaction . Kryst was oblivious of a certain tree's considerate movements and remained focused on the printed texts on the book .
When the sun sets again , Kryst would put a leaf mark between the pages of the book and climb up to the hammock to take a rest . While the toddler was asleep he didn't notice that he was mumbling the names of the herbs he had just read. Kryst had an innate talent of rapid memorization . Once he saw something , his brain will automatically save it to his memory bank . Most of his co- test subjects envied his ability to memorize something in a blink of an eye but that's all , his talent wasn't used well because of the chains the scientists had put on in his life .
He didn't experienced a normal person's life ,nor experienced studying in a normal school . If not because of the teachings of his parents when he was at a young age , he would probably become illiterate until now.
The toddler subconsciously clenched his fist and yawned . A gentle breeze brushed upon the toddler's body as Yggdrasil cares Kryst intimately .
" Good morning , Kryst . Wake up! Wakey wakey. " A gentle voice entered through the toddler's ears as several soft leaves tickled Kryst's body causing him to jolt and wake up.
Kryst yawned and stretched his arms and climbed down cutely from the hammock. He began running around the Tree of Life to excercise and bask under the starlight along the way .
Kryst couldn't remember when had he last took a bath but ge surprisingly didn't smell bad . He always feels fresh .
" The water on the tank is running out now Ssil , what are we going to do? " Asked Kryst and crouched down in front of the lovely vegetables that grew up already . He pinched the leaves gently and starts ploughing the soil around the plant gently . He also plucks out some wild grasses around the plant and looked up to the towering tree .
Yggdrasil hesitated for a while then asked. " Do you want to go out? The place outside is dangerous though , there are a lot of poisonous plants and wild animals that may hurt you. "
Kryst thought for a while then shook his head calmly . " I will be careful , i will just find some water resources and create an artificial pond here . "
Kryst had long since finished digging a big pit not too far from the vegetable garden . He badly wants to take a bath now , he couldn't even understand why he can still live despite not drinking water.
As a former human , he still have an urge to take a bath and drink water . His peculiarity may be attributed to Yggdrasil's secret help of maintaining his vitality but if this kind of lifestyle remained , he doesn't know what will happen in the future .
Yggdrasil reluctantly nodded and brought the little toddler outside of the space.
Kryst immediately closed his eyes from the sudden space movement and felt his body turning weightless . A few seconds later , he suddenly dropped unto the ground butt first.
Kryst immediately bit his lower lips and almost burst out from the pain of his lower back . He didn't expect his current body would be so fragile , he had long since developed a high tolerance of pain but the sensitivity of his new body was just too high .
Kryst secretly decided to hurt himself in the future to train his tolerance but for now , he has to find a clean water body and transfer some ater to the artificial pond he created in the space .
The toddler wearing a green dinosaur tyrannosaurus rex onesie cutely stood up with a dull face and moved his head around to observe his surroundings .
The place he landed at has a cold environment and sunlight barely hits the ground floor . The trees are so tall and its leaves formed a giant canopy blocking the sunlight . Kryst rubbed his skin and noticed the onesie in his body . A few seconds later , Kryst sighed thinking about the considerate actions of the tree . Such a gentle tree , he couldn't believe that Ygdrassil would be so good to him . Just what's with him though ... Kryst felt inferior and he was aware of his inferiority complex .
He always underestimates himself . Whenever he was bullied by his co- test subjects , Kryst would show indifference towards their words and just sarcastically answer back that he's indeed a loser . His co- test subjects hated him for that , because of him being a push over yet at the same time sarcastic .
Kryst enjoyed their dismayed expressions whenever they couldn't win over him . They may have won the battle but not the war .
Kryst calmly looked around and slowly treads carefully over the soft and slippery grounds of the forest . While he is walking , Kryst occasionally hears the birds chirping and noises produced by crickets .
Along with the sound of his footsteps , Kryst heartbeat gradually calmed down .
" Be careful Kryst , call out my name if you need me. " Yggdrasil's voice resounded within his head .
Kryst calmly nodded and slowly paused his steps when he heard a sound of flowing water . He turned his body to the northeast and gradually saw the small creek .
The flowing water gently flows through the body of the rocks and stones creating a gentle sound that could lull any baby into a sweet sleep .
Kryst calmly crouched down on the left bank of the creek and gently passed his small fingers through the flowing water . He slowly leans over and saw his reflection on the water .
A silver haired toddler with emerald round peach blossom eyes calmly stared back at him . The toddler has two pointed ears and small cute nose , small supple lips and long silver eyelashes . The toddler mysterious didn't feel old to eyes , contrarily , his silver hair looked natural and faintly glistened with light purple hue.
Anyone who witnessed such existence would surely revere his looks .
However , Kryst thinks that his looks didn't differ much to his previous face but he admits that he indeed looks better than his previous body .
Only with his looks did Kryst had a faint superiority over his co- test subjects . Unfortunately for his co- test subjects , he is an eyesore that always attracts the women's attention from them . That's why he was so glad when he awakened the ability to go low-key .
If only he wasn't captured , he would probably become a famous celebrity . Kryst touched his baby cheeks and sighed . Everyone wants to have a face like him , but Kryst hates his overly good looks that brought disaster to his family.
Kryst sinks his head deep into the creek and remained in that position to sobber himself from the hatred that was about to ignite within his chest again . The cool water lassing through his skin brought his thoughts away from that memory and his nerves gradually calmed down .
" Yggdrasil ... Can you transform my ear? I think pointy ears are too eye-catching . "
Yggdrasil moved his branches and answered. " Don't worry , your ears aren't pointy enough that could make someone think of you as an alien . I heard from the scientists that there are humans in the world who have an innate pointy ears . It's not surprising or rare , but i don't know if there really existed some humans who have an elven ear . Oh! I remember! In some myths , demons gave pointy ears too . "
Kryst then felt at ease when he heard Yggdrasil's reassurance . He was about to move when his body was suddenly lifted up by a stranger.
Kryst widened his eyes and subconsciously moved his elbow towards the chin of the man who dared to touch his body but his body suddenly moved as the man carried him properly causing his elbow's direction to deviate.
" Stupid kid! Why are you drowning yourself in the water , do you want to die? " Said the man.
Unfortunately , the toddler couldn't understand what the man was talking about . The toddler waved his hands in discomfort and slapped the guy's biceps telling him to put him down .
Childish sounds escaped out of the toddler's lips and kicked his legs mid-air .
The man who is lifting the toddler up however was dumbfounded by the beauty of the child .
" .... " The annoying guy .
_ Wow! What a good looking child! _
