Roy's life wasn't a good one nor a bad one. It was just a struggling one, filled with failures and accomplishments.
Planet Epsilon is a technologically advanced civilization which discovered how to harness the power of mana in the year 2023FX
In the beginning people can only utilize mana with the help of technology. It created a big revolution in military, medicinal fields, and the people's way of life
After 75 year's of discovering Mana. Richard a mad scientist experimenting on humans. discovered that if mana is channeled through a person. Gradually increasing it's potency for a long time.There is a chance of becoming stronger, durable and developing a core. Which is later called as mana core. Discovery of Mana core, brought a big revolution in humans every country started to invest heavily on producing humans, who can control Mana. Which are later called as Awakened. After the formation of a Mana core a person can live upto 2000 year's. In the beginning there's only one in a 10,000th chance of producing a Mana core. But slowly the children of awakened have an 50% chance of producing an awakened .Later due to mutations in humans due to Mana
Awakened became more common increasing to 90%
After 5400 year's of discovering Mana humans invented portals traveling to different galaxies, Discovering different mana beasts and civilizations
Year 2002MA (1,240,000 year's after discovering Mana). Humans have conquered the Native Universe. And are now waging war with nearby universe for resources..
Roy is from a poor family. From a young age he is been diligent and clever, With his efforts after school, Joining the military and becoming a general in 800 year's of age are all Roy's accomplishments. In this world where might makes right, it is incredible considering, he is in one piece, not coming from a noble background. Now 3600 year's old Roy got a letter from higher ups to supervise a research project ...
Roy's POV it's been more than 110 year's now I am 3712 year's old finally they are about to complete this fucking experiment. I am sick of staying in this inhabitable planet, with a bunch of lunatics. They are experimenting about soul . I don't know why higher ups didn't scrap such a experiment for this long, but after tomorrow I will be finally free from this god forsaken place
Today is the last chance for the scientists.They are busy setting up the experiment. I can see there are a lot of power full cores of humans, beasts and other races .they are placed in integrit pattern while the Mana is flowing through the apparatus. pure elemental spirits are chained and connected to tubes. connections are made between one aperture to another, some are filled with liquids while others are filled with elemental stones. I can here noises comming from everywhere, and beeping coming from some apparatus. I can see that Mana is going out of control and some tubes are about to burst. the shield blocking the experiment has fine cracks randomly occurring and mending. I asked the head scientist is it ok to continue the experiment. He said it's fine. After some time seeing that the mana inside the barrier becoming more and more chaotic. I ordered the head scientist to stop the experiment.In the beginning he argued but after seeing my firmness he tried to stop the experiment. but it was too late .I can see that we are running out of time.The scientists inside the barrier started turning into mangled corpses. I quickly ordered everyone to retreat and started to flee. turning back I am scared to see the amount of Mana converging at that place. suddenly the energies contracted to a single point and Booooom
While Roy's body was still disintegrating, his consciousness was basked in light and he felt pulled toward the sky. Suddenly, he was pulled downwards and away from the light.
His vision was a blur, but he could still hear a lot of commotion around him.
Giant hands are holding me, while I am puking god knows what. Judging from the breeze on my buttcheeks I think I am naked.
"I don't know what the heck is going on" Roy thought "
When Roy was finally able to see, he discovered that the hands were not gigantic, the issue was him being very small. A baby, to be precise.
He is alive! I did it. Midwife thought in joy
A further inspection revealed that said hands belonged to some gibberish rambling old hag. Roy was currently inside a medieval kind of designed room, surrounded by people dressed with ancient looking armour and clothes that could be called clothes only if they were part of a 500FX year themed renaissance fair.
He is a healthy boy
After the midwife said those words, Everyone started talking in a cheerful mood . The people in the room were congratulating my mother.
Meanwhile, Roy lied limp in the midwife's arms, looking left and right trying to determine his current situation.
"Well, well. What do we have here?. The woman in the bed should be my mother, she doesn't look like a person who just gave birth to me. Roy thought "
The stoic rough looking man should be my father
Meanwhile the room had become silent. The midwife had already finished cleaning the newborn, wrapped him up in a clean cloth. During all this time Roy neither moved nor cried.
"Nana, what's wrong with the baby? Why is he not crying? It never happened before!" The mother was worried, and tried to pick him up
Shush, you should rest for now. I still have to check up on you." The midwife tone did not leave space for reply. "I delivered dozens of baby's, a silent one is rare but nothing special. Do you want to see how strong he is? There you go!
While holding him gently, she gave a little spanking, to force him to cry.
Roy grunted a little, while staring at her in dismay.
This is a great insult to a general, I need to calm down and think about what is happening to me. But first clenching my fists, I started to cry loudly
"Well, as you can hear for yourself, child is breathing just fine." The midwife handed the baby to another woman. Who is a maid, she started to clean him.
Energy manifested on her fingertip. She proceeded to go check on my mother's condition, The healer approached the mother and placed her hands on my mother's wrists while her hands are glowing green.
She is not just an old midwife! She is a real magician, in the flesh! I have never been so happy to see magic
Roy was ecstatic, and not only because he saw magic, but also because he thought that he is now in one of the backwater planets in his universe
After some time Roy started feeling tired and went into a deep sleep
Roy's first days reincarnated as a baby were peaceful but far from boring. He had no responsibilities, all he had to do was eat, sleep, poop and the occasional baby noise or finger grabbing routine.
That left him with all the time he needed to think about his future.
Roy recalled about the Mana explosion and started cursing 18 generations of those lunatics. He thought he was going to die but somehow he got reincarnated as a baby
Roy knew it was no mystery that kids had a greater potential for learning than adults, and since his family seemed human.
From what he could observe, his body was no different from a normal human baby He could hear his heartbeat, his chest inflating and deflating while breathing.
Even his junior brother was the same. Roy took a sigh of relief knowing that.
The same could be said for his new family. If it wasn't for the medieval setting, he would have thought to have been in his Universe,
One of the advantages of being a baby was that ignorance was perfectly fine. As he grows up, someone will teach him .
He determined that he had two priorities: number one, learn their language. All babies are supposed to learn their native language, so I should mainly focus on that
Number two, he had to regain his magic, or at least its foundations. And that also had a deadline, since his learning potential was at its peak as a child
After that, he wouldn't be any different from others with magic talent
Roy spent his first day in the new world in bed, while his father and mother were nowhere to be seen
Whenever someone talked to him, he paid close attention, trying to figure out common words or patterns.
The rest of the time he was not eating or the cloth diaper being changed, he would try absorbing the mana
Testing my hypothesis, I began meditating, trying to sense the mana in my one day old body when…
"There you are! Roy honey, are you having trouble taking a poopy?" by the way my name is Roy Wilson
Mother! I'm about to begin my journey to become the greatest mage in the world! Do not make me out to be a constipated infant!
Picking me up and gently placing me in a servent arms, I was forcibly taken away to have my diaper changed, which, surprisingly, was full.
In the beginning, I didn't notice but the energy ,I tried to absorb Is a bit different from Mana and it is incredibly dense. The concentration of Mana is hundreds of times greater than the concentration I am usually familiar with.
I tried to meditate again.After 5 minutes I can feel the Mana surrounding me. I tried to bring the Mana particles inside my body towards my stomach area to form a core
After 2 minutes of meditation my concentration wavered and I lost focus. Now I am feeling very hungry and tired. I slowly closed my eyes and slept
After waking up I felt fine except now I am feeling really hungry. putting my shame aside and knowing that I am a baby I started to cry for milk
It's been a week since I got reincarnated as a baby .I am slowly getting used to being a baby. Now I don't immediately fall a sleep after thinking too deeply for some time and meditation increased from 2 minutes to 2 minutes 10seconds. I think I am getting newbie gains. and I became used to making baabling noises whenever I am feeling hungry or need to take a dump. some maids are always kept besides me and I can sense that I am being protected by hidden guards. Now that I think about it I am reincarnated into a pretty Rich household. and my parents are really good looking except for the lack of technology it's not that bad here.
After a month I finally know the names of my mother who I see frequently is Emily Wilson ,and my father who I see very rarely is Russell Wilson. and I am learning some simple words, now my biggest concern is when should I say MoMA and Dada. I guess I should say it when I am six months old I don't know, and a good news is that due to the amount of Mana concentration I think I can form my Mana core till the age of four .which is incredible considering it usually takes minimum 15years of meditation to form a core.
it's been 6months now .I can pretty much understand everything people talk about. I will wait for another month and half before mumbling something.After My mom came to see me .I clenched my fists and called MoMA
she was surprised and Happy seeing me calling her MoMA, that day she stayed with me for whole day laying on the bed.
After 2 years Roy can finally walk around. Now I am a man who can eat and poop by myself without anyone helping me out. I think I can form my Mana core within next year. This is due to the Mana beasts meat I am consuming regularly . At first a year ago Russell gave me a small piece of meat which my Mom scolded my dad for, because it could lead to a stomach problem. But for me during meditation I found that it was a bit easier to gather Mana. After knowing this I refused to eat normal food and kept baabling for the beast meat, After a long time My father understood my intentions, ordered the servent to prepare a small piece of meat by the chef. From then on my training accelerated
Now I am 3 year's old, Recently I asked my Butler to show me around the house, Until now I was usually cooped up in my room forming my Mana core .My house is a giant mansion in the hills. The outside is covered in marble walls and complex designs. As you step step up to the golden gates of the property, you are instantly greeted with the sight of a giant 50 foot building laying in front of an enormous lake. As you approach the lake, you can see as the water moves gracefully with the warm Spring wind. Once you approach the edge of the lake, if you look to the right you will see a massive field of rare flowers. If turn around and walk away from the lake and move to the left of the building you will be greeted with the sight of a giant 200 foot 1000-year-old palm tree with coconuts near its top.
After I finished observing the left and back of the house, you move to the right side of the house. Once you make the long walk from the gigantic tree to the right side of the beautiful building, you will see a giant chariot, by the way it is used to fly in the sky according to my Butler, the mansion is situated in a 50miles area. This is the first time I am seeing such a luxurious mansion. I didn't even see 10% of the mansion before the sunset.
I have a feeling, today I can form my Mana core. After meditating for some time now I know that I can no longer suppress the formation of my Mana core, I rushed into the bathroom and locked it from inside. Now that I think about it my bathroom is bigger than my apartment, which I used to live with my parents. I stripped naked and got into the bath tub in a Cross-legged position. By the way only I use this bathroom . Feeling relaxed I started the formation of my core, slowly the Mana from my entire body and surrounding's rushed into my body forming a core. During this process impurities within my body started to gather towards the core, and gushed out from my entire body. I can smell the ranched smell coming from the tar like substance oozing from my body. I could die from the smell coming from my body, slowly I shook of my lethargy and started to clean myself. After some time I came out of the bathroom. my maids standing outside gave me a weird look while trying not to throw up. Ignoring them I walked to my bed and fell into a deep sleep
Next day Roy woke up feeling refreshed. Roy tried to Sense his Mana core but suddenly he heard a mechanical voice
[Beep! Mana Core Detected Alert! Activating system Alert! Host is extremely Weak System functions are restricted. It is recommended to strengthen the core to access the restricted functions....
