'This can't be happening'
For some reason and in some inexplicable manner, I had seemed to have been reborn. Not only that, but the world that I've been reborn into isn't that of Earth.
I remember having read countless stories that had a similar premise. Honestly though, I always thought that it would never happen to me. 'I mean, who would!'
The time I spent daydreaming of being in another world was simply that. A daydream. I've never considered actually living these stories or the downsides brought with it.
'Oh being above! What of my parents?! Do they know what happened to me? Of course they don't; I don't even know. Do they simply believe that I abandoned them? Or did they return home to see their son dead lying a top his bed?'
'Okay, calm down… what was my name again? Ah shit.'

While I was having most likely the earliest panic attack of all time, the nurses continued their inspection on me. Their conclusions of course came back negative.
They chalked up that blood-curdling scream of mine to have simply been a result of an overdramatic infant.
Once finished they decided to hand me back over to the woman that birthed me. I couldn't help but think that it was still too early to call her my mother. Sentimentality and such.
'She's quite attractive, actually'. She's seemed to be in her late 20's. Her eyes held a sort of keen intelligence found only in those that have dedicated their life to study. Her golden-brown hair was still somewhat disheveled from her… earlier experience.
Further off, in the corner of the pristine room, was also a man. For some reason he looked even more exhausted than the woman. I assumed that he was the woman's husband.
The man had ebony black hair and pitch black eyes. Even completely drained, the man maintained a certain smirk that gave me no doubt that he took great pride in messing with people.
'What a strange couple.'
"Look at my sweet baby". The first to react to my appearance was my not-so-mother. I couldn't even tell what she had said, but the way she said it filled me with warmth.
Although she wasn't my real mother, or the mother that I had accepted in my heart, any affection at the moment felt like an arrow to the heart. Likely because I've been so starved of it while all alone.
I wondered if I could truly call her my mother, and if it did, would it disgrace my previous mom?
"He looks like a stump". That, of course, was said by Father No. 2.
'I don't know what he just said, but I can't help but feel like I should be offended…'
Mother No. 2 was quick to respond to him. With a heart-warning smile on her face she said, "He's my little stumpy baby. Just like his father."
Whilst my spare parents were continuing their bickering like this, my mind quickly became sidetracked.
Since it was almost entirely agreed upon by me at this that I have been reborn into another world; I couldn't help but wonder which world it was.
I wondered about the setting of the world. Would this new place of mine have cool and brave heroes? Or would it be ruled by scary demons at the top of society?
'Would I ever be able to go back to my old world?'
Before my mind went off onto another never-ending tangent, something outside the hospital window caught my eye.
Far in the distance stood the cliff to a high-reaching plateau. One could hardly believe that something of its size was natural.
A feeling of harrowing fear pierced throughout my body. Engraved into the side of the enormous cliff side were four faces. Each face was adorned with odd features, such as hair far too spiky for a normal person.
'I know this place, this world. How could I ever forget. I'm in the world of Naruto'
