It should've been a regular Sunday morning, I should've woken up to the sound of my overly exaggerated alarm clock, and taken off to meet with my friends.
'I shouldn't be here'
But here I was.
I was dead; certainly, I was. The lack of feeling I had and the pitch-black surroundings that encased my entire vision forced me to assume so.
There was no noise, no light, nothing. Only darkness and my thoughts.
'I didn't think I'd be conscious after death...'. It was a surreal thing. Last night I took 6 or so Tylenol. I didn't think the dose would kill me. I had just taken it for my migraine. But here I am... dead.
I couldn't wrap my head around it, dying that is. I'd always assumed my death would be in a hospital room surrounded by family... Not in my college dorm.
And especially not to some Tylenol.
And so I sat there collecting my thoughts for a minute.
"What now? Isn't god going to send me to heaven or something??" but before I could continue thinking down those lines, I began to hear noises.
Not the deep godly voice I was expecting, but more along the lines of muffled female screaming.
A few seconds had passed and the screaming started becoming more apparent.
I tried focusing on the noises but a sudden wave of coldness hit my body.
The (what felt like) freezing temperatures making me instinctively try to close up my nonexistent body.
'awwh shit, hey god, did you really send me to hell??' assuming the wave of cold that had just hit me was hell I spoke so in my mind.
Earning no response, I tried to listen, but all I could hear was the soft moans of a female and a gruff male voice speaking in gibberish.
I still couldn't feel or see, but I could listen.
And trust me, it didn't help me understand the current brainfuckery of a situation I was in.
Whilst trying my best to understand what was happening, I could sense my brain gradually slowing down.
'what... the fu-' I thought before losing consciousness.
"Hey wherent we supposed to give him an introduction?" said a childish voice in a hushed tone.
"Mah mah, who cares, it's more fun this way. Plus the boss gave me overtime this week why should I do my job perfectly?" responded a gruff male voice sounding as if it had been smoking for year's.
"Yeah... I guess. Wanna go grab something to eat?"
"You paying?"
"*sigh* Sure".
-??? POV-
It was late, and as usual I was in my office doing monotonous paperwork. But today was different, Worse.
Looking at the death toll my Arquitius army had was something a leader should be able to handle.
But this, This was absurd. Over the past few months our death rate was increasing and this most recent one was a 10% increase!
"it's all that Boy!" I spat, disgust in every decibel of my tone. With my fists tightened I thought back to the genius that monkey managed to get lucky with.
Those Brown skin tree huggers where winning. As much as I wouldn't like to admit it, they where.
*Knock Knock*
turning my attention towards the door, I calmed my breathing while simultaneously fixing my hair.
"who is it" I spoke.
"My lord, I bring urgent news," said a deep and even voice, my butler.
"come in," I replied while putting my documents in my desk.
After hearing the soft clicking sound of my door opening, I looked up to see a tall man with a prim posture, black hair styled back, and silver glasses enter my room.
After giving his mandatory greetings, he started to speak about this so-called "urgent news."
"My lord, the 9th mistress has given birth to a son. I have a full report here if you would like me to read it aloud for you," he said while taking what I assume to be the report out of his dimensional ring.
"go ahead," I replied, thinking it wasn't the "urgent news" I was anticipating.
"As you wish, your 14th son, which has yet to be named, was born today, on the 916th day of the Lunal year. The medical reports show him to have no sight and have little to no feeling of pain; however, these are only early reports and will be further evaluated later." said my butler in an even tone.
"*sigh* is that so, Emmanuel. You may leave." I responded, trying to hide my growing disappointment and anger.
"As you wish, my lord," he responded Silently, leaving as quickly as he came.
The sound of the door clicking shut once again returned my office to the eerie silence it always has.
Having my office to myself, I quickly write down a name for my son before returning to my work.
'More fucking disappointments.'
-??? POV End-
-Mc POV-
'mmh- where am I again?' I thought to myself half asleep.
I felt as if I awoken from the best dream ever... I felt horribly cozy, as if my eye boogers where trying to keep my eyes sealed forever.
'I should probably get up for school'.
Opening my eyes, I expected to see the light of the sun, and the posters covering my room, or my dogs ass in my face, but what I had seen was weird.
There was nothing but darkness...
Thinking my eyes were simply dirty I attempted to move my hands to clean them, but getting no response from them I groggily thought back to what happened before I passed out.
'Oh yeah... I died.' I remembered what happened.
I died and had been reborn.
It was something all teens had thought of before.
Yet if I was asked if I truly believed it, then my honest answer would have to be no.
Before my death I hadn't believed in gods or the afterlife; the world was what we saw it for was what I believed.
But being inside the body of a baby can make a man's worldview do a quick 180.
'Thanks god? But couldn't you have made me slightly more competent of my situation?' I thought to myself with annoyance.
'So why can't I see? Why can't I feel my arms? What was that cold? And where am I' I had questions... Alot. Yet nobody to answer them.
Taking deep breaths through my baby nose I tried to rationalize my situation.
After some deep breaths, I had come to a realization.
There was nothing rational here.
As much as I would love to be a protagonist and completely understand what was happening, I couldn't.
So I did what I have always, or I guess had always done best.
Sleep!
Forgetting the fact that I was in the body of a baby with no sight or the fact that I didn't clear my browser history before my death I proceeded to sleep like the baby I am!
---------------------------------------------------
Slowly waking up I found myself swinging from side to side.
'who's swinging me?' where my first thoughts
Putting full attention to my ears I could hear the soft sounds of a woman breathing right above me.
Cautiously opening one eye I tried to take a quick peek at who was there.
seeing nothing, I mentally slapped myself for forgetting about the sight issue.
'gotta get used to that.'
"*** *** *****" hearing the soft-sounding voice of a lady right above me I instinctively looked up.
Probably noticing my attention on her she started talking more. None of which I understood.
I paid keen attention to every word that came out of her mouth. After all how I would I become a reincarnated genius without knowing the language?
She went on and on about... stuff.
After what felt like hours of the woman talking she stopped. I don't know why she stopped, but I was still swinging in her arms.
It was a peaceful and regulated swing, 'she knows how to swing a baby damn well.'
All the sudden with no pretext the women said something in my ear.
"Oswin Arquitius" where the words she had spoken so close to my ears I could feel her breath.
I didn't know what it meant nor did I care, for at that moment I realized how pretty her voice was.
--------------------------------------------
Feeling myself being lowered into my crib I pretended to drift back into sleep and waited for the lady to leave.
Hearing the sound of the heels clattering against the floor and then the sound of the door clicking shut, I decided it was time to make some plans.
'Objective one, learn this world's language!' although there was no solid plan for this objective but I'm sure I could do it with time.
'Objective two, survive.' although this may sound ridiculous currently these where my only two plans I had.
But I was damn well set on seeing them through.
(Author notes. I was super high and reading a novel and had a great idea for a story lol, hope u enjoid it so far)
