Chapter 1 - Unfulfilled Life (E.prologue.0)

 This life of mine that was of no use to anyone or anything, I'm not just saying this either to get pity out of anyone. From the moment I was born I was diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) if that wasn't enough I also had Sarcopenia, before you ask CHF Is when a weakened heart struggles to pump blood, making fluid buildup in my liver "cardiac cirrhosis" if you will. As for Sarcopenia it progressively makes me lose muscle mass.

 I could not exercise properly with (CHF) making it hard to combat Sarcopenia, My parents could not afford my medical expenses and gave me up for adoption. Through a "special adoption" I could be put in medical treatment but the process was tedious or so I was told, the people who took me in were upper-class for generations they have continued to be one of the riches families in Japan. You see I was adopted to help their image and gain more influence over the people. I'm glad I was alive even if the people behind my adoption did it for their own image and gain; I lived because of their selfish reasons I have no right to complain about that.

 Knowing that I did everything to continue getting their support so I could live! with my limited movement due to both Sarcopenia and (CHF); I couldn't do almost any physical activity but I had both Hyperthymesia (HSAM), Eidetic memory and Receptive language, The first is when you can recall life events in vivid detail while the second is the ability to recall an image or sound while only briefly seeing or hearing it once, lastly the third is being able to understand words and language at a very young age. In my case I could understand my satiation since I was almost two years old, when I did reach two, I could fully understand my language.

 Even if my brain could understand; my body could not keep up meaning I could do nothing by myself especially in my case until I was four when I could finally walk by myself. After that I spent half a year getting better at walking by myself without the help of the maids from the Nakase family. I knew the Nakases wanted me to die fast so they wouldn't have to spend more time and energy on me; but I will live, I will show my worth: with my mind I could do it, I spent the next three and a half years studying and completed my education early I was eight and I did what most kids could not hope to do. After I completed my high school education I completed courses that even adults found difficult like BSBA (Bachelor of Science in Business Administration) even though I could not move much I achieved D.Eng (Doctor of Engineering) awesome right? The Nakases were overjoyed that I brought more recognition to their family.

 I have so much more that I got to accomplish thanks to my brain, it was fantastic at the age of seventeen you could have considered me the youngest and smartest person in all of Japan! I rested for four years after all that hard work; is what I would like to say but my condition got much worse my body started to give up more and more and since my muscles were giving up my heart had a harder time pumping blood. While I was at the hospital I started to learn all about old architecture, traditional medicine, strategies, agriculture and more; the history of how the world is now was so interesting to me since I could not move much. I just wished that I could have had warmth from my parents, biological or adoptive I wanted someone to look at me, recognize me..

 As I approached twenty five I knew my time was almost up, I learned all I could while laying at a hospital bed. I had many regrets most of them had to do with physical activities though selfish probably but I wanted to know what being a normal kid was. Not with my brain and medical condition, just like all other kids running outside, playing at a park with my parents and such but as I struggled to keep my eyes open. I closed my eyes for the last time and I felt the cold and heavy air embrace me; I waited silently in the dark and cold void.

 "Wait, Void?.. Void? what did I mean by void? Is this like an after life? "

[I looked around and all I saw was the pitch black void, I'm not sure how much time has passed but I do know that either this is the after life or huge or I'm still alive and this is my subconscious. Which by the way would suck imagine your mind being alive but your body is basically dead!]

*Crying baby noises can be heard*

[But uhh am I the only one annoyed by the sound of a baby crying? No really I got the Nakase family so much recognition but they couldn't even put me in a room by myself?]

[I just want the noise to end!]

*A bright white light shines*

[Holy that light is so bright and warm for no reason!.. Wait warm? how is that possible..]

*He floats towards and approaches the white light, slightly touching it with his finger tips*

[What the-]

*The entire void turns white and the baby crying can be heard so much louder*

[My eyelids feel so heavy.. did they give me some sort of medicine? and why is the crying baby so much louder?..]

*Managing to barely open his eyes he looks around and sees a kid and a woman with odd "costumes", the kid can be seen crying but barely making any noise as if trying to look strong while holding a baby; while the woman can be seen looking as if at any moment she would leave this world.*

[What's going on right now? Who is this woman and kid? Why does my body feel like this]

*As he tilts his head a little more he can see his reflection on a small puddle on the ground, his reflection appearing to be that of a baby* 

[Hey wait.. that's.. THAT'S ME?!]

*he looks at his small chubby hand, grasping it closed*

[THE BABY CRYING WAS ME, How the hell did this happen?! and where the hell am I?]

*The noise of his voice is that of a baby crying*

*The woman speaks*

"Matia my baby.. I'm so sorry.."

*The woman cries as she speaks to the kid who seems to be about five years old*

*Matia with a voice that can barely be heard due to almost exhausting herself with tears*

"Mama.. mama.."

*The kid cries out*

"Matia my child.. please be strong for your younger brother.. you are his only family now.."

*The woman looks at the baby boy in Matia's arms*

"My baby.. I'm sorry for leaving you so soon.. I wish I could stay with you.."

[Is she talking to me?? Why is she calling me her baby?..]

*The woman looks at her baby boy one last time and says-*

"Your name will be Dahak my child.. please grow up healthy and strong protect your sister.."

*She says with a weak voice and caresses Dahak's cheek, her hand falling hitting the hard ground, her eyes that looked so strong and full of life now look empty and dull*

[Dahak? My name is Naiko..]

*He looks around once more realizing that he really is a baby and the person who is his mother is the woman that just embraced death*

*He cries loudly and the kid who seems to be holding him snaps out of her trance and looks at him*

"Dahak.. I swear I'll protect you.. don't worry.. mama is in the embrace of Kyrios now.."
