1.Epilogue
My name is Ethan Reid and I am the son of Elena Sinclair and Sebastian Reid. I was born in a great city called Eldoria. Although it was one of the 10 great cities of the world, it was the most dangerous and chaotic. My life was never very easy because I was mistreated by my father when he came home from work and from time to time he would hit my mother and she would only take it out on me threatening to kill me because she told me that because of me my father hated her and she said that before it was much better without me in this house the truth is that I never asked to be born in this world much less with these people I am not to blame that my parents did not take the necessary measures for an unwanted pregnancy. the years went by and finally I went to elementary school at that time I was 8 years old the truth is that I never lost hope of living a comfortable and happy life I went to school because I wanted to make many friends and have fun but that only worsened my pathetic life both at home and at school I suffered a lot of harassment from my classmates to the point of hitting me and leaving me with many injuries this worsened. I thought I was going to die but I didn't. My mother, who hated me so much, took care of me sometimes and cured me of the wounds caused by my father and the people at school, I was able to survive thanks to her. He was called henry brooks he was about 11 years old and we were good friends until one day the worst happened after school I was looking for henry to go home together as we always did and in the distance I heard some laughter I leaned out a little to see and it was henry he was being beaten by victor malice's group victor is a bully who loves to mistreat and treat the weak like trash 3 years ago Victor hit me very often, I was like his plaything. I couldn't do anything, I could only cry from the pain and receive the beatings from Victor and his friends. Being now in the present, I tried to stop Victor.
-Please stop it, Henry hasn't done anything wrong to you. Please stop hitting him.
At that moment I was so scared. So many years of peace I had, 3 damn years of peace without any mistreatment from that bastard, were thrown away. Victor just smiled and told me, "This is the price to pay for leaving me alone and bored." Ethan, as my cherished toy escaped, I had to find another one and that was that idiot Henry. Just look at the state he was left in. That bastard can't take any beating; maybe I'm just too strong for him.
At that moment I remembered that I told Victor that I would let him go free and in exchange I let him beat me. He agreed and ordered his henchmen to release Henry. I approached him just to check on him. At that moment Henry shouted at me.
-IT'S YOUR FAULT, YOU FUCKING BASTARD, BECAUSE OF YOU I GOT BEATEN UP BY VICTOR AND HIS GROUP.
Henry looked like a different man I never saw him getting so upset I never thought that my only and best friend would talk to me like that when Henry was released he pushed me and then ran out to his house because of the deal I made with Victor he grabbed me by the neck with a lot of force and started to choke me while in his face he just laughed at me. in his face he just laughed at me and insulted me a little more than being mistreated by him and his group for almost 20min the physical education teacher arrived as I was hearing a lot of noises he saved me from almost being killed by that group of idiots his name was leon rose he cured me of my wounds and took me home since then I never knew what happened to me. 7 years later it was finally my graduation after so much suffering and sadness I will finally be free and live my life as I please I will live happily after so long I finally found a job as an office clerk despite the bad luck I had in my life. I finally found a job as a clerk despite the bad looks and the low salary it was the only thing I could afford after so much work I finally arrived to my new apartment it was the cheapest in the city of eldoria but of course it was eldoria where crime is always in the streets despite seeing so many people being robbed I never interfered in the fights it was not important for me to risk my life for those people 4 years later I was at my limit because the company where I worked was at a critical point they started to exploit all of us and we were leaving work very late and we only had one day off which was on Sundays. Despite all this suffering I never gave up I wanted to fulfill my dream of having a happy and peaceful life years later I finally got fired because many of my coworkers hated me for mere envy I was the only one who finished on time the work of customers the boss believed all that shit they said that I was the only one who finished on time. he believed all that shit they said about me how I treated the clients and my coworkers bad or that I was stealing money from the company that last one was the one that spilled the water on the table since in the last months the company was losing a lot of money because someone was stealing from them I never knew who was capable I was one of those shitty hackers or something so they fired me and I was unemployed until this point I was 32 years old and from here it was the same shit I once was when I was only 8 years old I reached my limit I just want to die and at least get to heaven and rest from this fucking shitty life. I left the apartment that was already 3 months late because I had no more money I decided to take a walk before ending my life suddenly I heard screams of a woman in the distance some guys were bothering her probably wanted to rape her or something when I saw that poor girl I thought of my dear friend henry from what happened that time at school I did not hesitate a second and go straight out to try to save her evidently they were much stronger than me and they beat me up at least I could see that woman run away again making me remember that time of henry at least here if I could do something I felt so relieved finally I could do something with my shitty life before I died coming back to the present these guys were very upset with me since I let that girl escape shortly after they killed me at that moment I didn't care about anything in life finally I can rest or so I thought.
VOL.1
Is there life after death?
--Am I dead already? (Next to me a voice could be heard).
-So you woke up, sleepyhead.
-Who are you?
-Ah, excuse me, I didn't introduce myself. I am the being who rules this world. I am what humans call "God".
-Mmmm, so I will die. Well, Lord God, is this heaven or hell?
- Ah, no, no, no, nothing like that, my dear Ethan; I'm just here to give you a second chance, since your life was full of misfortunes!
-Oh come on, I finally die and you want to bring me back to life?
-Fuck you, I'd rather go to hell than go back to my life in that place.
-Come on, don't worry. I told you I'd give you a second chance, but not in your old world.
-What do you mean?
-I said I'll give you a second chance in another world so you can have a better life full of happiness that you long for.
-A life that I longed for?
-Exactly, all right, Ethan! Get ready, I'll send you to a good place!
-WAIT, YOU DIDN'T TELL ME WHY I GOT A SECOND CHANCE.
-Bye, bye, Ethan, I hope you have a good life.
Ehhh? Where am I? I feel so weak? A woman is too big. Wait, my hands are too small. Am I a baby?!?!?!?!?!?!!?
-Man's voice: Our son Eris was born, look at him.
-Woman's voice: Ahhh, he is very beautiful.
Wait a minute, he has just been born into the world, what did that silly god tell me?
-Alexis, what shall we call him?
-Mhhh, let me think how about it, Alexander.
-Wow, that was quick, but I like the name Alexandre, it's just like yours, Alexys.
-All right, from now on you'll be called Alexander Stoneheart!
Well, it seems he does reincarnate just as that god told me.
2 months later
-Come on, say Papa, it's not that complicated, Alexander.
Doesn't this fool know I'm 2 months old? And wait till he just talks
Likewise, try as I might, I can't.
-Don't be silly, Alexis, you know he's only 2 months old; it's clear he won't know how to talk.
-Ah well, I had to try, haha.
Now that I have a new life in this strange family, I'd like to explore around the house.
MMM I'll start crawling all over the place, mmm, let's see if I can get used to such a weak and small body like this. I'll start by going to the living room.
AH! AH! AH! AH! Damn, it's hard for me to walk with this little body. Well, from the looks of it, the house looks like a medieval style; I wish I could see out the window; I'll try to get on that chair.
-After a second that woman arrives.
-ALEXANDER, YOU'RE GOING TO FALL.
SHIT, I'M ALMOST THERE, DAMN CHAIR. CAN'T IT HOLD THE WEIGHT OF A BABY?
AHHH!
After that I fell and hit my knee. Having this weak body I couldn't help but cry from the pain.
I saw my mother in hysterics and because of that she dropped the glass of water she was holding in her hands.
-Are you okay, Alexander?
-Guh, guh.
"Ah, your knee is hurt; don't worry, I'll heal you with magic."
-Magic? Are you silly, try practicing how to soothe a wounded baby than to say that nonsense.
-By the power of the moon and the sun,
Let life return to its being;
Wounds are closed, health is restored.
In the name of light, calm returns.
-DID HE REALLY USE MAGIC?" LIKE HOW DID SHE DO IT?
It seems he said a few words before throwing the spell at me by the power of I don't know what the hell. It slipped my mind.
Looks like it really is another world after all.
-So, my little Alex, how are you feeling?
-Gahhh.
It's been a month since I arrived to this strange world of magic and swords; I never thought this existed; I thought this only happened in books.
The truth is a nuisance to be locked up here in a cradle; I will try to get out of here, even though it is hard for me because of my baby body. I managed to get out of the crib.
All right, now I just have to keep my mother from seeing me, otherwise she will put me to bed right away.
As I left the room I came across a shelf of books. Excited, I started looking for books that had to do with the magic of this world.
I found a rather unusual one called.
-Universal Magic and its branches.
As I read it I tried to conjure a spell but it didn't work.
After that my father came in and saw me with the books.
-Eh?" "What are you doing here, Alexander, you should be in your bed.
-And why in the world are you trying to read a book if he's only 1 month old, don't tell me my son is a reincarnate or something like that.
Shit!!! He found me out now what do I do?
-Pfff hahaha. Just kidding, as a baby only 1 month old, if you want you know it's a book. Well, Alexander, it's time to put you to bed. This time don't get out, I'll have to tell Eris to keep an eye on you more.
Ufff, thank goodness, it was just a joke. Apparently, my father in this world is very lively and cheerful, unlike the one I had in my past life. The truth is that I don't dislike him at all...
-After what happened, Alexis took her son to bed.
Damn back to bed, I'll try to draw attention to myself again.
Gahhh, gahhhh.
-What's the matter, Alexander, are you hungry?
-Relax, mommy will feed you.
Apparently he misunderstood my message, but hey, it's normal to get confused.
Truth be told, I wouldn't want to be breastfeeding even though I'm only a month old in this world. Inside, I am a 34 year old man and I refuse to drink milk from my mother's breasts.
After several attempts my mother understood that I was not hungry.
-Mmm, so what's the matter with you, Alex?
-Do you want to go out and play?
If that's it, she's taking the bait.
I'll finally be able to go out and continue researching that strange book. Now I'll have to get out of my mother's sight so I can go to the bookshelf.
-Okay, Alex, you can play here, but without leaving the room I'll be busy preparing lunch while your father is out sword training."
Training? Swords?
Well, that doesn't matter; I'll wait for my mother to get careless and take the opportunity to go to the bookshelf.
Several minutes after pretending to be playing, she finally takes her eyes off me; it's my chance to go back for the book.
When I get there, I try again to read the book. I tried several times to replicate the spell, but I could not. Perhaps I will have to investigate further for this strange magic.
After several attempts I discovered that universal magic is an unusual type of magic that has only two ways for someone to use it.
To be born with it or to learn it from scratch. From that moment on I vowed to learn universal magic.
As I finished reading I heard my mother looking for me around the house; I closed the book and put it back.
-Alexander where is he?" it's already time to eat.
-Ah here you are, wow, whenever you leave me you are always on the bookshelf, not that there is anything entertaining there, here are just old magic books from your father.
6 months later I learned to walk on my own. Because of this my parents were quite surprised. If I understand them, I wouldn't expect a 6 month old baby to walk either.
At 8 months I learned to talk and my first words were "mommy, daddy.
I said this expressing my gratitude to my parents of this new life.
-MOM AND DAD SAID.
-Alexis, our son may be a prodigy!!!
-At only 8 months old you already said your first words!
At 2 years old I was finally able to learn my first spell coming from the book that was titled Universal Magic and its branches.
On the first day I could only make my hand glow a little, as I don't have enough ability to cast a universal spell....
Still I didn't give up and tried day after day.
Until everything changed.
By reciting the level one universal magic spell.
I managed to cast a small attack that shattered the wall of the house. Due to the explosion and the brilliance of my spell, I caught the attention of my mother and father who at that moment came running in very worried.
-Mom, dad, excuse me; I just wanted to learn how to use magic..."
-Alexander, did you by any chance make this hole...?
-Yes..."
-It can't be..."
-ALEXIS ARE YOU AWARE THAT OUR SON USED UNIVERSAL MAGIC !!!!"
-Of course I am aware, my god Alexander, you are fantastic, my son!
Although I destroyed the wall of the house and even the nearby trees and vegetation evaporated, I was congratulated for it. It is clear that universal magic is a complicated thing to learn in this world.
After a week my father told me more about this world.
Telling me about its magic and its rulers, he even told me about the 6 most powerful beings of this world which were called.
The 10 rulers, those who protect the world from catastrophes of universal levels.
-Listen well, Alexander, in this world there are 10 sovereigns who protect. Peace are extremely powerful beings, capable of wiping out countries or even planets with their powers.
Hearing this I told my father what these people looked like and how their powers worked.
He told me that the first of the sovereigns was someone who mastered level 3 of universal magic. I was impressed, because according to the book, to reach level 3 of universal magic you need many years of training.
Afterwards, papa clarified that this person named Ragnar was born with black hole magic....
Although I wanted to hear more from the sovereigns, it was time to go to sleep. My father promised me that at any moment we will continue the talk.
