Chapter 3 - My life anew

Hello there, I'm Dark Hart.

A person who was shot and reincarnated randomly and unexpectedly.

I am now a five years old boy capable of moving and eating by himself.

it was shocking to think that reincarnations are real, I thought those things only happen in movies and novels but it turns out it's very real.

the world I currently inhabit is an unfamiliar one, it feels as if I'm living in a fantasy world.

Magic actually exists in this world, the technology is booming with advancements and researches.

most of the diseases known are currently cured.

although technology and advancements are progressing, there's still conflict all over the world, there are wars happening even now as I'm walking.

what kind of war you ask? well all kinds of war.

ever since I learned how to walk and read the language in this world, I learned a lot of things using my tablet.

according to the history books, five millenniums ago, A major catastrophe happened.

the world experienced Earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, you get my point, it was hard and difficult with almost all of humanity going extinct. the result of those misfortune was a super continent, every huge land masses merged forming a huge continent.

Now apparently after experiencing all of those tragedies, the humans started to evolve and develop powers, not only are they developing powers, but the atmosphere slowly developed something called mana, to my understanding, mana can be used to enhance the abilities or should i call it unique abilities.

after a thorough investigation, it was later discovered that the reason for those calamities happening was because of different species entering the world, elves, demons, ogres, goblins and a lot more of them.

at first, the humans were openly hostile to those species.

But after the government managed to form some diplomatic relations with those species, they also discovered that an entity was on the verge of driving those said species to extinction, hence why they migrated to this planet.

out of pity, the humans opened their planet to them, and as a sign of friendship between the races, they traded with one another, which boosted and advanced the technologies the all the races made.

however, it didn't last long for obvious reasons, races, ideologies, beliefs, you name it.

that's why until now, the world is still experiencing war, well not a war as in war but a war in espionage, military and economical supremacy, just one wrong move, blood will spill.

the most dominant species currently are humans, elves, vampires, demons and beast men.

with the humans on the center of the continent, elves on the north, vampires on the east, beast men on the west and lastly the demons of the south.

in my opinion, the governments and the other species should've been preparing for the said entity.

but they're way too busy arguing with one another.

the people of this world are retarded, stupid and unable to even think of the long run, even if millenniums have passed, it doesn't mean that we are safe from that so called entity.

"Dark it's time to eat!" disturbing me from my inner monologue was a young woman from her early teen.

"I'm coming sis!" I shouted back at her.

I rushed to coming down to the dining table and eating with my family, I took a seat on the right side of the table with my father sitting at the end of the table, on his right was my mother Marie, the ones sitting on the left side were my sisters, Angel, the middle sister, she's currently 10 years old and Julie the oldest sibling, 14 years old, she's a 3rd year middle schooler.

We began to eat quietly first before engaging a conversation amongst each other.

the first one to speak was my father.

"Julie, how's your day?" 

Julie shrugged and said "the same as always, since I haven't awakened my gift yet, I still haven't decided which academy I'll be entering."

Patrick nodded at her words.

"it's okay, don't be impatient and just keep going at your own pace, humans usually awaken their power at the age of 15, sometimes even earlier than the said age."

He continued "before gaining power, you usually dream about it the day before awakening it."

their mother, Marie nodded and continued on Patrick's behalf "it's not that complex actually, let's say your power is mind control or mind manipulation, you'll start to hear random voices in your dream." she took a bite of her food and continued "here's another one, if your power is fire, then you'll dream about burning, well you get my point."

Julie nodded at her parents words.

father then moved to asking angel "How about our sweet little baby girl? how's your day?"

Angel smiled and answered enthusiastically "it's good dad! can Eva sleep over tonight?"

Patrick nodded with a smile.

"how about dark?" Patrick asked.

"I'm learning about history." I answered nonchalantly

this time, Mother answered.

"our boy really is a genius, he's already reading books!"

Angel and Julie agreed with her by nodding.

"I learned how to read when I was 7" Angel said while scratching her cheek.

"same" it was also the same for Julie.

"of course, he inherited my genes, it's only natural that he's a genius." Patrick said proudly.

the table got quiet and we all stared at him silently without uttering a single word.
