'Ahh,Where am I...why do I feel dizzy all of a sudden?...and who's baby is crying!?, it's a little bit irritating'
When Nori came back into consciousness he realized he was floating,well not floating to be exact he was held by two giant arms of an old woman wearing a unfamiliar priestess robe.And to his shock, he was the one crying along with another baby, who by the looks of it was a girl with white hair.
'What exactly is this situation!? and why can't I stop crying'
He tried with all of his will to stop crying but something instinctive forced him to do so, and the weird part of it all is that it felt like the most natural thing in the world,he didn't feel sad nor were these tears of joy.Its as if he was calling out to the world that he exists now.
He inspected the entire room and found the room was filled with women from some form of cult and they were surrounding a bedridden woman who looked like she had just given birth.Then a sudden realisation hit him,by the looks of the other baby in the old woman's hand they were the same size...that would mean
'I'VE BEEN FUCKING ISEKAID'
As an Otaku,the realisation came quickly to him since he was familiar with such concepts.It was easy for him to connect dots and come to this conclusion mainly because he was hit by the legendary truck-san.
"Sister,can I please hold them"Said the bedridden woman to the old sister.
I was gently handed to the bedridden woman along what...who the I assume to be my twin sister.I managed to overcome my crying and looked in my mothers eyes.As our eyes met for a second she had a shocked expression but it was instantly replaced with gentle smile.I have to admit,I just met this lady but I can already tell that she loves me.
"They're beautiful but...I'm concerned why is their hair white and eyes red,are they perhaps sick!?"My mother jolted her weak body up while holding us and looked in the eyes of the sisters.
"Do not fear my child,you have given birth to two healthy children.Though I'm curious about these features of theirs.By the goddess' grace I'm sure they are fine. To reassure you let me check them myself to ease your worries"The Old woman reached out both her hands to my twin sister and started chanting some sort of incarceration, then brown light came out of her palm and covered my sister's entire body.
'Wow,is that magic!?. What does it do? is that some sort of healing magic?Can I learn magic?'Many thought rang in Nori's mind as he watched the Old woman do her work and questioned whether one day he will be able to do the same thing.
The light started dimming from the baby's body and the old woman gave her a bright smile.
"See,my 'Status Condition' spell shows no abnormalities in this one.And we surely cannot leave them be without naming,What will you call your daughter"
'Hey, you forgetting someone.I want a turn.I don't mind if you even hit me with a fire ball,so long as I see magic...ofcourse I'm just kidding'
"Well,I planed to name my baby Reiyn if it was a girl, after my late grandmother. And Cliff would decide if it was a boy.But know I know we have twins, I want them to have matching names.I think I'll name them when Cliff is around."
"Understable dear,why don't you handover those children while the sisters go and help you bathe. I'm sure Cliff wants to see his children but we can't let him see you like this."
The old priestess lady took me and twin and covered us in cloth then she handed my twin to another sister while my mother was took by the sisters to get bathed.While that happened I was frustrated that I didn't get my magic check,don't I matter too?.
After a while my mother came back nice and clean with a fresh change of clothes.Then the sisters led in an avarage looking man in garments you'd usually see in medieval movies in the room.
"Cecil!,are you alright,is the child safely delivered!?"Wow,I can already tell my that my father is the annoying loud mouth type.
"Cliff,hush! one them is already sleeping"She said pointing out to my twin.
"One of them?"The guy named Cliff narrowed his eyes and say two children laying on their mothers arms
"WE HAVE TWINS!?"
"SHH!!!"My mother along with the sisters hushed the poor sap who is my father for almost waking my twin up.
"S-Sorry" The man approached my mother and got a close look at us. His eyes teary when looking at us.He gave me the same vibe I got when my mother looked at me,unconditional love.I honestly don't know how to process being the recipient of such feelings since I was an orphan in my last life.
"You said if we get a boy you'd name him,well this one is a boy and this one is a girl.So it looks like we both get to name them.So what will it be."
"Hmm,before that,I just noticed they have white hair...are they alright. I've seen multitudes of people with different hair colours but I've never seen anything like this."
'It's probably because I chose randomize in the character customise option in that afterlife space. Hopefully he won't question us being his children over the choice I made on a whim."
"Sister Margarine,have you used your 'Status condition' spell on them,I'm a bit concerned."My father's personality changed drastically in the span on seconds once he thought we were sick or something.I guess I can throw away my doubts about him thinking we weren't his children.
"She has with the girl but she seems relatively fine,as for the boy..."
"Yes deary,I was getting there.High tier Light magic like these have a lengthy a cooldown time, but I'm sure now fine.Now then little one, I think it's your turn to get checked...or is it the other one?"The forgetful granny lifted me up to check my package to see which one I was.I wanted to pee on her but I later changed my mind when she put me on the bed and started those weird chantings again.
'Oh yeah!,this is when the literal magic happens!'
The magic light came out her palm again and enveloped my body.I could feel the magic coursing through my veins and it kinda tickled.
"Hmm,It seems this one is alright as well.I see no status effect of no kind"
On the subjuct of status effects,what are they? From a gamer perceptive,a status effect would a debuff or a buff reflected on a status screen,but from what I can tell from their ranting,it seems even basic illnesses can be reflected as a status, an example could be something like the chicken pox which would be written so on the status screen...or however its reflected from that old woman's magic.
Another thing important to mention is that it seems that I'm not in the world of MYTHOLOGICAL WARS.I can tell because the game didn't have concepts of elemental attributes such as the light_attribute magic used by that granny which focuses on healing,curing and etc. MYTHOLOGICAL WARS only had a concept of Divine authorities expressed either by the warrior in melee combat or Magus in ranged combat. Since character creation screen actually effected my appearance,along with my twin I can safely assume I'm still a demi-god with latent divine authorities.
Once our business was concluded and my mother's vitality was restored be light_attribute magic,we left what looked like a nursing home for pregnant women run by the church of earth and fertility and went to my new home.
Too bad I fell asleep on my way there.
I wonder what this new life holds for me.
