Chapter 7 - Start of life in another world

"Training? What training? You haven't told me anything about that."

"Yeah, training. Didn't we say we'll raise him differently? Don't tell me you want to change your mind now!"

"Come here honey and lend me your ear for a bit, I want to tell you something very important."

"Alright." The man, not sure what his wife wants to say so secretively, went ahead and did as he was told.

The woman took a deep breath and pulled the man's ear closer and said

"HE ISN'T EVEN A DAY OLD!!!!!!" at the loudest voice she possibly can.

The man immediately jumped back and held his ear that is still ringing "Ow, why did you do that?"

"To remind you dear, you tend to be forgetful at times like this." The woman replied in the most innocent tone possible accompanied by a smile.

"I already knew that, and you didn't have to put your qi behind it. What if you hurt our child?" The man said, still holding his ear.

"That would defeat the point wouldn't it? Ordinary sounds have no effect on you, right dear? If you're that worried about the child then you wouldn't have suggested that in the first place and you would've noticed I directed at you only. So all this comes down to one thing my dear, your negligence." The woman answered nonchalantly, but still followed with a smile after.

"How long will we wait till we train him, then?"

"That will be up to him, we won't force him, we'll introduce him to the concept and everything, but the final choice will be up to him. As we agreed before."

"Alright, we'll wait for him to grow up first, then we'll do that. I just need to know beforehand so I can prepare."

"Yes, don't worry honey, we'll decide when together."

"Then, I'll leave you to rest with him for now and finish some work. Goodbye." The man turned to leave.

"Goodbye dear, have fun." The woman then rested on her side with her son in her embrace.

"C'mon my cute little baby, let's sleep."

Not knowing how or why, but right after hearing that Keiji started feeling tired and went to sleep easily.

Next day, Keiji woke up and found himself still in that strange place.

'So it wasn't a dream, it's reality. That's a relief.' yesterday, before falling asleep, Keiji was still skeptical about everything that's happening as it all seemed too unrealistic for him.

He is a man who studied a lot of things from various different fields, but even all that couldn't explain what happened to him and why he's been born in another world. However, that didn't matter to him anymore, he achieved his dream and that's all he cares about.

'Now I'm gonna need to gather information about what type of world this is and what my family's standing in it is. Oh, I also need to see if I have a gold finger like those protagonists I always read about, not like it'll matter to me anyways, I'll live to the fullest in this world either way.'

Keiji was and still is a man who doesn't like giving things up halfway, he like to see it till the end even if it may seem hopeless. Sometimes people tell him that some things aren't meant to be completed, they could be there as a lesson, and he also thinks that, but that doesn't mean that everything is like that.

He had many times in the past where he had to give up on doing certain things, but that doesn't mean he liked doing that, it always left a bad taste in his mouth. Like one time he had to give up on chasing a girl just because she was un- *ahem* because they weren't suitable for each other due to external circumstances.

'For now though, I'll need to be able to see, hear and talk well before I can commence any of my plans.'

*Click*

The door to the room opened and a woman entered.

"Oh, Keiji, you woke up, good morning. I'm guessing you're hungry so let's get you fed."

And that was the start of Keiji's life in another world, living everyday doing nothing except thinking and being a baby, not like he complained though.

The days passed, and before he knew it he was already 6 months old.

'It's already been half a year and I still can't speak at all, now I know how eager the parents are to heat their child speaking. The good thing is that now I can see better, my hearing isn't the best but my eyesight reached a point where I can see figures and large things more clearly.'

'By observing everything around me, I can determine that we're a rich family. What makes me say that, you ask? That would be because the place in which I live is huge, and by huge, I mean too huge that it can be called a village but with solid houses and cool designs. I figured that by looking outside the window when my mother holds me.'

'The weird thing about this though is that I have never seen anybody enter my room other than my parents and some maids who don't come near or even touch me. So that made me wonder if my parents eloped together and that's why I don't see any other family members, but I'm sure I heard them talk about my siblings before, so that keeps me in circles.'

Cutting his train of thought, a blond haired woman entered the room.

"Good morning Keiji. How was my baby's sleep last night?"

Keiji nodded.

'I still can't hear exactly what she says, but from the bits and pieces I hear every day, I can make out what she means. At first that startled my parents, as anybody would if they found out their child who's just been born can understand them, but as time went by they shook it off as me being a genius. They weren't wrong when they said that.' Keiji commented with a little smugness.

"I have good news for you, now that you're half a year old, we'll start taking you around to explore. We wouldn't want you locked up here till you can walk now, would we?"
