Chapter 2: I'm Fucked..
Loki woke up from his reverie after hearing her worried voice.
"Y-Yes, I'm fine. Just my memories are a bit hazy." He replied nervously.
Everything was happening just too quickly, from reincarnation to a personal maid and now a new family. The situation was getting more and more complicated.
'God, what is happening with my life?!' Loki mumbled inwardly, feeling scared.
"That's a serious problem. Let me see." Amelia panicked and quickly approached him. Loki met her gaze and felt the motherly affection in her eyes. It reminded him of his own mother.
'Ah… She's probably grieving right now. Mom, I'm sorry, I couldn't fulfill the promise.' His eyes teared up as he remembered his kind mother who used to take care of him all the time.
"Why are you crying? Does it hurt that badly?" Amelia's tone grew even more worrying. She felt sad seeing him tear up.
Loki quickly wiped the tears and replied, "I'm fine."
His gaze softened after witnessing his mother's expression and he made the decision. 'Very well. I shall live as Loki Grimheart from now on.'
"Dear, Let me check you, alright?" Amelia softly stated, matching his gaze.
" A-Alright." He hesitated a bit before replying.
She gently placed her on his head and mumbled something. Suddenly, A magic light appeared and quickly scanned his body. It felt like a CT scan but less techy and more magical.
'Magic?' Loki received another shock, feeling the light pass through his body. It felt quite weirdly comfortable and refreshing. 'Is this a magical world just like in those novels?' Excitement bubbled up within him as he let his imagination run wild.
"You seem fine. How much do you remember?" she asked feeling confused. He was perfectly fit and healthy both physically and mentally.
" Almost nothing." He lowered his head and pretended to be sad.
" Don't worry baby, your mother is here. She will help you, okay?" She politely cheered him while patting his head.
Mmm…
"Let's eat something first, You are hungry, right?.. Afterwards, we will think of something." A soft smile graced her lips as we both stood up from the bed.

In a grand room full of aristocratic decor and noble vibes, a dining table stood in the middle surrounded by three people. The table was filled with delicious cuisine and its sweet aromas were spreading throughout the room. Among the three, one was a middle-aged man with a handsome face over his shoulders. He had pitch-black hair, haunting silver eyes that seemed like they could pierce through your soul, fair skin, and a muscular physique.
Another was a beautiful lady with long purple hair, ocean blue eyes, flawless skin, and a mature face with a worried look on it as she caringly gazed at the third person who was a young child around 10 years old with blackish-purple hair, shining silver eyes and a cute face with baby fat.
"Dear!, Loki is saying that he forgot everything," Amelia complained with a sad look.
" Everything?, I didn't quite understand your words," William questioned only to receive a fierce glare from her.
" I meant he lost his MEMORIES. I examined him thoroughly but couldn't find the problem. Do something!.." Amelia yelled as William swiftly checked his son.
" Amy dear, Maybe he lost some of his memories after yesterday's accident. Just let him rest, He will be fine afterward." William cautiously replied so as not to anger his wife further. He was also worried about his son but he had done everything he could yesterday.
" Umm... What happened yesterday?" Loki quietly asked only to notice William's solemn face.
'Maybe he hit his head quite hard,' William thought inwardly as he showed a soft smile towards his son and answered.
"You tripped and fell over, hitting your head in the process."
Loki quickly touched his head and examined it. Thankfully, he didn't feel any bumps or wounds on it.
"Ah. Don't worry, Your mother has already treated you. Just take some rest."
Loki nodded with a puzzled look on his face while thanking god internally since he didn't need some excuse for his memory loss now.
"Son, eat your meal first, I will explain it to you later." Amelia intertwined, passing the food to him. She didn't want him to feel unnecessary confusion and anxiety.

Loki subconsciously marched towards his room as he processed the information that he'd just obtained from his parents after an intense talk.
"Damn.."
The only word that he could think of to describe my current situation.
"I got reincarnated in a fantasy world, of course…
The world is called Eldoria and it has a magic element called eden. okay…
There are other races besides humans. Yeah…
And I'm Fucked. Huh?!
You see, I am the Young Master of the Grimheart Family and my parents are very powerful. So, it is a good thing, right?
Nope. We have a lot of powerful enemies externally and internally both who are keeping an eye out for us.
And since I am their son and also very weak compared to my parents, there is a high probability that I can become their target of revenge. And that's not all, there is another major problem.
I DON'T HAVE ANY CHEATS ON ME.
cough
I mean I tried EVERYTHING but couldn't find any system, some broken ability, or some powerful old man trapped in some broken artifact, etc.
Now the only choice I have left is to wait for my awakening and hope for the best.
Ohh… and about the awakening. It will happen three years later when I turn thirteen. So, I just have to survive till then. It's easy, right?
Nope."
sigh
A loud sigh escaped his lips as he sat down dejected.
"I might die from stress before anything…. But at least one problem is solved. I don't need to think about money as my family is hella rich."
knock knock
"Young master, the bath is ready." A childish voice echoed through his room while he was contemplating about his future.
" Alright, Bella." Loki slowly stood up and shook his head, clearing the unnecessary thoughts.
By the way, the young maid from the morning is Bella Stone. She is my maid and also same age as me.
I know its considered child labour by allowing her to work at just 5 years old. But its a fantasy world so who cares.(not supporting any forms of child labour tho)
As he stretched his right hand to caress his hair, He noticed a weird eye tattoo on his front palm.
"Hmm?!.. why does it looks similar to the Illuminati symbol?"
sigh
"Now I'm just straight up hallucinating from the stress. Let's just take a clean bath." He stood up and followed Bella to the bathroom.
"Ooooh~.. Nothing hits better than a warm shower after a long day of mental fatigue." Loki moaned as the warm water sprayed on his body.
" Wow! This is the best. If only I could live like this forever.... Too many depressing thoughts for today. Let's just hop on the bed." he jumped straight into the bed and slumped back.
"Mmm.. this is life."
As Loki was snoring late at night, He failed to notice the slight glow emanating from his right palm where the weird eye tattoo was tattooed.
The glow lasted for a minute and when Loki moved his body slightly, it instantly vanished.
