--- ???-POV ---

A silence that covers the dark night, the stars scattered in the sky are so beautiful. Quiet and still as in a dream night.

I tried to say a word but it never came out....or so I thought, I tried to feel my body. But, as I expected I didn't feel my body at all.

'Where am I? Why can't I feel my body? Am I dead?'

Those thoughts crossed my mind, but they were replaced with shock as a light began to grow larger and dazzle my eyes.

'W-what happened?'

Suddenly the light exploded revealing the life of a man right in front of me.

'Is this... me?'

My memories... ..... that I can't remember clearly, or so I want to believe.

The voice of a woman standing smiling while carrying me....?

"Peekaboo ba .... hehehe look darling, his laugh looks cute doesn't it?"

A little boy who laughs while pointing his toy at me....?

"Hey R**n, isn't my toy cool?"

An old man standing on a stage giving a speech

"R**n M****y, Congratulations to you for placing 3rd in the graduation exam, please come up on stage to receive your award and diploma."

The childlike voice of a little girl pleading with me?

"Come on brother, play with me for a while, okay?"

The memories then flooded into my mind like a tsunami wave, which made me very confused to process them. But, somehow it felt very calm....no worries at all. I don't know if it was influenced by the atmosphere I was in or if I was just tired of processing these memories.

The memories then flowed like river water that became calm over time, but when I wanted to remember one of the memories, it would blur like I didn't remember at all. One by one I remembered what I had just absorbed but the result remained the same. Before finally I suddenly woke up from the stinging pain from my head.

A stinging, itchy pain shot through my head like thorns pressing all over my head making me scream in agony. Then the pain spread slowly from my neck to my bottom.

But somehow the sound that came out sounded distorted, like I was screaming underwater. I slowly and painstakingly opened my eyes to try and figure out what was causing me pain. However, what greeted me was a blurred view.... .... .

Then little by little the pain I felt turned into a sense of comfort, bolted with a cool but not too hot feeling radiating throughout my body. With that feeling, I blinked my eyes a few times and over time my vision began to become clear.

And what greeted my first glance was.... the roof of a wooden house, with a pillar pierced through the center of the roof. Puzzled, I turned my head toward the hand behind my back. She was a woman....a very beautiful woman looking at me smiling while shedding a few tears.

With her shiny black hair in disarray and her eyes that were as bright blue as the stars at night, she proved all the more that she was a beautiful and graceful woman at the same time.

Seeing that a few tears were still on the verge of her eyelids, I tried to reach out my hand to wipe them away, but why was my hand so small....and thick?

"hwa?"

My surprised voice was replaced by the voice of a baby

"HWWAWA?"

Did I become a baby?

"HWABABA"

Why did I become a baby?

And who was I before? Why am I here?

Somehow something was missing in my previous memories.

Suddenly, the door opened loudly and a man entered with a loud voice mixed with worry.

"Cikum baxi tatre ka?"

With a worried face the man approached the woman who was holding me and spoke in a language that I didn't understand at all. While gently stroking my cheek the woman, or now my mother, answered the man in an affectionate tone.

"Hai, wakama ga hahoka sei. Koe ra kakishi ngga?"

Although I couldn't understand their language at all, I think I understood what they meant. The man who I could assume was my father approached me and stroked the other side of my cheek.

"Adrian, Adrian wa kakishi."

After they named me or at least that's what I thought, my stomach then made a sound. At the sound my mom and dad giggled. My mom then lifted her shirt, exposing her breasts. Well even though this was embarrassing, babies still have to eat right? So I had no other choice. Once my lips were attached, I just let this natural process take its course.

And that's how my first day of rebirth ended.

 ----Adrian-----

It's been three months since I was born again

Well, at least that's according to my calculations if this is the same world as my previous world. Although it was only a rough guess because I was only calculating from the light coming in from the window of the room without glass.

And in these three months, not much has changed from my daily life....because I'm still a baby so there's not much I can do.

Only breastfeeding, sleeping, and pooping.... as a baby with a mature mind, I felt that my life was very limited, but what else could I do.

Putting those thoughts aside, I am currently brooding over what has happened to me.

First from the environment and atmosphere in this house, i can say that this house is a simple wooden house without any signs of advanced technology, I suspect that I was born back in medieval times or from a remote tribe in this world...who knows, maybe I'll find out the truth when I'm older.

The second was the language of this world... a language I didn't know before, although my memory was hazy and only a small part of it could be remembered, but I couldn't figure out the language my parents were speaking. Well, maybe their language is a regional language that I don't know yet. Even so, I was able to understand what they were saying.

As for my own name, it sounds strange.... Adrian... Just Adrian.

I don't know if it's their concept of naming or if families of our class don't deserve to be given surnames like in medieval times.

Then for my own family....

I turned my head towards my mother who seemed to be weaving. Just like before when I was born, my mother was beautiful in my eyes. Especially with her East Asian facial features and her hair that was now in a ponytail made her look like a celebrity. It's a shame that she's already a mother at the age I guess is still in her early 20s. But I'm grateful to be her child.

"I'm home."

"Welcome home, darling"

Suddenly the front door of the house opened, revealing my father coming in with his quarry. He was someone who could be said to look like a European, with his thin beard and distinctive blond hair making him look dashing, plus the slight muscles that puffed out from under his clothes made him look like a character in my previous life whose name I couldn't remember at all. And also I'm guessing his age was around mid-20 years old? I'm not sure but from his stature I guess so.

My mom then stopped her activities and approached my father

"How was the hunt today?"

"Well you could say smoothly, this is me carrying a boar."

"Wow, it looks bigger than usual. Adrian, we're going to eat well tonight."

"Wawawa."

Such was our daily life in this house. My mother, Hannah would always greet my father, Victor when he came home from hunting and I myself could only scream with joy when my mother joked with me. Too bad I couldn't eat anything at the moment except my mom's milk.

"uh? MAMA MAMA...!"

Suddenly I felt hungry and screamed for my mother, perhaps because of a mother's instinct she immediately came to me and gave me her milk.

"Hmmm you're hungry aren't you Adrian?.... Yosh yosh."

Even though it's still a bit awkward, I still accept it, babies need to be well-nourished, right?

"What about my ration?"

My father suddenly interrupted me, do you have to ask that in front of me?

"Hish, don't say that in front of Adrian. Maybe later tonight....okay?"

With my father happily walking into the bathroom, Well I would just ignore their talk and enjoy my feeding time.

--------Adrian--------

It's been six months since I was born again.

My daily life as a baby didn't change much, with only a few times out of the house to greet our neighbors, strangely this village only had a few families, I estimate about 10 families, most of whom were elderly.

After these six months, I mostly traced my memories of my previous life, and the results were very strange. I could remember general knowledge such as arithmetic and other knowledge. But I couldn't find anything related to my previous self, such as what my name was and my previous family or how I got reincarnated. It was like the memory was erased, leaving only the residual knowledge.

Well, although it was a bit disappointing and sad at the same time, I could only let it go and focus on my current life.

In these 6 months I also showed my progress as a baby, I was finally able to crawl at 5 months old, and now I've learned to walk even though I'm still limping. And also now, I can say some of the words of this world... well just some common phrases. I still need time to learn everything.

I still remember my parents' surprised faces when they saw that I could crawl and talk, at that time I thought that whether I was growing too fast, it was hard to compare with other babies when there were no babies the same age as me in this village. 

As I practiced my motor skills by crawling all over the house, I also discovered that my family was quite well-off. Like a house in the countryside that contains all the necessities with just a little decoration here and there, and I also discovered that the possibility that I was reborn in medieval times was true. Because the tools they used were completely devoid of the technology of my previous life, not to mention the toilets they used were very simple.

I also discovered the existence of magic in this world, yes magic. Something both old and new to me. I discovered it when my mother lit the fireplace in the kitchen with only her bare hands. Amazed, I crawled quickly towards her and asked her how she could do it. She said something about her and dad used to go on .... adventures together and I didn't quite know the language. Did they used to be adventurers like the ones I read about in fiction books back then? Well, maybe that's true with the fact that my father was quite the expert with a sword.

"And that's how we decided to stop being adventurers and ended up in this village."

I am currently sitting on my mother's lap listening to her story about her adventures with my dad, I honestly admire them, although my mother's magic talent is not very good and can only memorize a few element spells and my father who is only quite good at swordsmanship, they can become B rank adventurers, although I don't know the rank level of Adventurers, but to my knowledge they are quite skilled as adventurers, I guess.

"Wow... Mama Papa so great."

I praised my mother with sparkling eyes.

"We're not that great darling, there are other parties that are better than us."

"Still, mama and papa are the best for me."

"Aww darling, you're the best for us too."

My mom said as she pressed her cheek against mine and lovingly stroked the back of my head. Ahh, I might get addicted to this feeling.

However, just as I was about to savor this feeling longer, the sound of a train passing by loudly and the sound of people running and shouting.....

'Why are they shouting at night?'

A strange feeling ran down my spine. The scream was followed by the crackling of fire and the sound of metal clashing together.

Startled, my mother lifted her face, immediately running towards the door while carrying me. To our surprise, when my mom opened the door, flames were everywhere and people were running around in fear. Feeling my mother's hands squeezing my body more and more, I looked up to see her making a serious face and looking around.

"HANNAH, ADRIAN, GET OUT OF HERE."

Suddenly we heard Dad running and shouting towards us followed by five men with swords. My mom quickly cast a spell and shot a fireball at my father's back. Making them bounce a few meters to buy time for my father to arrive.

"WHY DON'T YOU RUN RIGHT AWAY?"

"NOT WITHOUT YOU, VICTOR. WE HAVE TO STAY TOGETHER"

Seeing them screaming made me only silent with a pale face and holding my mother's hand tightly. Suddenly a sword swung behind my father which made me scream.

"PAPA."

With my shout, my father immediately turned away and parried the sword.

"HURRY UP AND GET OUT OF HERE"

With a worried yet confident look, my mother quickly ran back into the house and approached her loom. With trembling hands my mother placed me inside it and covered my top with her woven shirt.

"Stay here, dear! And don't go out, no matter what happens. I'll help your father for a while, okay?" she said, smiling gently at me.

Her voice was.... anxious, but there was a sense of conviction, albeit only faintly.

DARRR

The entrance door shattered into pieces, revealing a tall, burly man with a large scar over his left eye, matching his evil-looking appearance.

"Oya...oya... I thought you had run away, Princess."

With a large sword resting on his shoulder, the man slowly approached my mother. I saw that there was a spot of blood smeared on one side of his sword,

'what...is .... papa already ....'

Thoughts of negative thoughts haunted my mind as I looked at the bloodstains.

While slowly backing away, my mother slowly picked up the stick that was right beside her

"WHERE IS MY HUSBAND ?"

Shouting threateningly but with a trembling tone, my mom pointed her stick at the bandit.

"Oh, that weak man, I've taken care of him, and you won't see him again."

"YOUUU!!!!"

Angrily my mother immediately cast her spell and three fireballs formed in front of the staff, speeding towards the bandit. But the bandit easily dodged the balls and with an instant move, got right in front of my mother and kicked her in the stomach, causing her to bounce off and crash into the wall of the room.

"G..gah"

"Look here princess, if you resist. I will kill you even though our client would love to take you alive, but I don't care."

Hearing the threat, my mom just smiled dismissively at the bandit.

"H...HEH, I..ln your dreams, you bastard"

The bandit responded by shaking his head and laughing.

"Kekeke, alright if that's your wish, see you in hell."

Whether it was adrenaline or the instinct to save her, I quickly grabbed the knife next to her loom and ran towards the bandit.

"AAAHHHHHHH!!!!"

Unbeknownst to the bandit who was still focused on my mother, I stuck the knife right into his right leg. Causing him to take a few steps back.

"Uh... you little brat."

I caught a glimpse of him swinging his leg. A very strong pressure suddenly hit my entire body, causing me to bounce backward.

"G...Gah"

"ADRIAN"

The pain then radiated throughout my body, my breathing faltered and my vision blurred slightly. I saw my mother who was painfully dragging herself towards me and then towards the bandit who pulled out the knife I had stuck and walked towards me with the blood on his leg still flowing.

"I didn't know you had a son heh. Let me take a look..."

My senses had been cut off so I didn't feel him turning my body with his foot.

"Heh, maybe he'll sell well as a sla..."

"DON'T TOUCH MY CHILD"

Suddenly, a shout came from behind the bandit, accompanied by a slash that hit the bandit's left hand.

'a..is that dad' I thought to myself

"AHHH, why don't you just die?"

With the reflexes of a warrior, the bandit swung his greatsword with an instant decapitation of my father.

"p...papa" I shouted in a low voice.

"VICTOR" my mother shouted as she quickly pointed her staff forward and muttered the spell but was quickly thwarted by the bandit as his sword pierced right through her chest.

"G....gah"

"ma....ma"

As if time had stopped, I saw the body of my mother who was still trying to remove the sword in her chest and my father who was lying lifelessly.

"Well... Now no one will bother us anymore...."

Terrified, I saw him walking towards me, lifting me up with one arm still intact.

"So now... what should I do with you..."

His words were cut off as a white silhouette flashed in front of me, accompanied by a howling wind and a sound like an explosion.

The bandit's head suddenly flew off with blood splattering on my face.

I fell but was immediately caught by another pair of hands.

"Zenith, come quickly"

Hearing the voice of the person who caught me, I looked up to see his face.

She was a woman, a very muscular woman, her chest that was left exposed with nothing covering it but a piece of cloth, her body full of scars, and her face fitted with an eye patch, giving the impression that she was a criminal. But somehow I didn't feel any evil aura from her.

But the most surprising thing was her ears, which were like gray wolf ears sticking out from her matching gray hair. Is she a beast race?

...no...there's no time for that...

"ma..ma!!!" with a hoarse voice I pointed at my mother who was already limply lying on the ground.

Seeming to understand what I meant, the woman brought me closer to my mother and slowly lowered me down and pulled out the sword that was stuck in her.

"Uuh" my mom groaned in pain.

"Ghislaine! Where's sister Hannah? Oh my gosh, SISTER HANNAH!"

Then a woman entered the room as I reached out my hand to my mother's hand, which she could barely move at all.

The new woman, or rather the new girl, knelt down while reaching out her hand towards the wound on my mother's chest that was still oozing blood.

"O merciful mother of gods, please heal this child's wounds, and let him recover with a healthy body - X-Healing!" she pleaded firmly.

Her hand then lit up in green light, indicating she was using some kind of magic on my mother, but I ignored it and just focused on my mother who was getting paler and paler.

"I-It's not working! It's too deep! I-It requires at least an advanced level! I-I'm sorry Sis." the girl said through tears.

"Ach... you've finally arrived Zenith.... it's okay..... at least... I... can still buy time... for my son." My mother said hoarsely to the girl.

"G-gah and Adrian... come here... I want to pet you one more time." She said hoarsely

His hand then reached out, stroking my cheek gently with affection. And like magic all the memories with my parents suddenly flooded me.

"Adrian you can crawl? Huhu I'm so proud of you son"

"Here, I made a wolf statue out of wood, it's nice."

"Hmm does Adrian want to be like your father, let me tell you about when your parents were adventurers."

"Adrian....."

"AAAHHH" I cried as I recalled the memories.

I held my mother's limp hand against my cheek, hoping that I could take care of her.

"Please don't leave me!

But the words were stuck in my throat, I clenched my hand that was holding his hand tightly and tried to say the words that I had been wanting to say....

"I love you, mama"

My mom's eyes were glassy and she smiled warmly at me in return.

"I love you too, me and your father. My little Adrian."

His gaze then shifted towards the girl who cast magic towards my mother.

"Zenith....this is my last request....ughhuk...Please take care of my son...like you take care of your own ...ughhuk." My mother choked, bleeding from her mouth.

"Of course Sis, I promise!" The girl said with tears in her eyes

My mom then nodded slowly, looking back at me.

"...Sorry to leave you this early, Adrian.... And remember.... Your mom and dad will always love you.... Adrian Grimoire..."

I felt the hand I was holding tighten as my mother's head bowed, her gaze lifelessly blank, but a serene smile on her face.

Then, like a broken rope, all my pent-up emotions exploded out, leaving me with no other way but to scream in anguish.

"Uwaaa.... Mama...please...please don't leave me." I shouted

Everything became a blur after that, all I remember is the endless crying that became muffled and over time I closed my eyes while being carried by the girl named Zenith. I wish this was just my nightmare but what power do I have that this is the reality that I have to accept

And just like that, six months of happy family days came to an end. And before I know it, I'll be welcoming a new family...
