Chapter 4

Zeus began making his way outside Orario only to stop in his track when he realized something

"bell are you not hungry? you haven't complained about food once since your birth"

I shook my head to the side then opened my mouth and started sucking air, to be more specific the magic in the air

"…..you're eating mind from nature? hmm, I never heard of this before, well I apologize because my lack of preparation made me forget to bring food for baby consummation, you're still only a couple hours young so milk is needed for your growth, so please just bear with me until we settle down and I will bring you milk, preferable from a woman breast…a fine set at that…hehe"

as he started going to his own little world, my stare at him jolted him back to reality

'I knew you were a pervert but damn that's something haa' I sighted while thinking of my future hoping I don't get brainwashed by him as the og bell did.

"HEY! You were thinking of something rude, hmph how could a baby like you understand the man romance, but I will forgive you as I will teach you when you grow a bit older alright"

I just rolled my eyes at him.

'ugh what kind of broken logic is this, peeking and harassing women can be called romance haaa, it's not like I'm not totally interested in women but to go as far as being a pervert just to get a girl interested in you ain't my thing, I'm more of a vanilla type I like keeping it clean...but then again I died a virgin I never had a relationship in my past life, I wasn't that much of social guy…..I shouldn't hope much for this life either

'I mean you may ask what about the other girls that Bell got involved with, but being honest I can't imagine myself with them at all, even if I and Bell fused I did it with the baby version of him, not the 14 years old one so I don't feel much attachment to them'

"hehe they all say that when they are young but they all change when they grow and start noticing the females around them it's an instinct afte- HEY bell don't ignore me I'm still talking to you BELL"

I just started ignoring him and closing my eyes it appears as if I'm asleep but I'm sorting all the information from the things I got from the shop the compendium of cultivation mainly it almost fried my brain with the amount of information it had, but with I can see the way for me get stronger and richer, as I can make pills and talisman and weapons too there is even a way to make magic stones from the air but I need to buy that skill from the shop first as having it make it easier to understand and make the array for it faster and more efficient.

and the two magic systems I picked, the dragon slayer itself is strong magic not to mention Acnologia's attribute of devouring any type of magic element, I can train it and even use it to restore my magic to use for other things like alchemy or smithy or array making it's very powerful magic but it has a side effect of making the user insane should be careful of it and try to find a solution to it in the shop.

now the star magic, good thing I awaken all the elements already so I can train them all from an early age as I know it's gonna take quite some time to reach the high levels for it and I need to purchase the little pendant that mo fan always wear so I can speed up the cultivation and even harvest monster souls to upgrade the power of my stars.

for now, I should focus on the dragon slayer magic and space and fire and lightning system as I can use it as a base for alchemy and other crafts.

"I think this little village will do bell"

While I was thinking about what path I should take I heard Zeus's voice, when I opened my eyes I saw a small village in the distance.

"listen to me Bell you need to act like a baby when we get there, I didn't tell you before but your case is very weird and it may result in a negative outcome in the village, some people will find you interesting but some will find it repulsive so be careful"

'umm' I nodded my head while but inside I wasn't concerned much even if they see me as a freak it's not gonna matter to me at all, I only care for the people who care about me, and if they are freaked out just from this are they really worthily of my care, I at least know that I would be doing a lot of crazy things in the future and a smart baby is nothing.

"Welcome to our humble village, may I know if you need anything from here?"

as we got closer to the entrance we were greeted by an old man with a cane in his hand, he and Zues started talking to each other, of course, Zeus changed both his aura and looks to that of a mortal middle-aged man with a gray beard as he can't just reveal his identity easily now after the fall of his Familia.

"ah yes please, I was wondering if there is a place for me and my grandson in the village, of course, I will not freeload on you, I will help around with the work needed here"

"That's fine, we have spare houses around and we don't have many workers on the farms so your help is indeed welcome, but I think we can sort that out later I think you should take care of the child first"

"you're right about that, is there any wet nurse here he hasn't eaten anything since we begin traveling"

"I think Floria can take care of him, let's go to her house"

as he was leading us to her house we got to know who this man was, he was Jerry the village chief he had 4 children all of them went to Orario to experience the thrill of adventures but they all died except the second child who returned with a wife to the village and decided to stay there lessening the workload on his father, and we found that Floria is the wife of his son she too went seeking adventures only to be traumatizes of the cruel reality there, of course, she is better now having lived in this village for while and giving birth to her 3 children 2 daughters and a son.

he kept telling us more about the people of the village until we arrived at a house and then he proceeded to knock on it.

the door opened revealing a boy and a girl around the age of 5 both of them started hugging Jerry as soon as they saw him

""GRANPA JERRY!!""

"ha ha ha be gentle with me kids I'm not as young as I used to be ha ha ha"

"HEY let go of him you're hurting him, welcome Grandpa Jerry I hope they didn't hurt you" Then a girl around the age of 10 appeared and started holding down her siblings.

"hahaha it's fine Sara, Tom, and Lora are just as energetic as they should be for their age, you were like that too don't you remember?"

"I-i wasn't! a-anyway what are you doing here you don't usually come at this hour"

Sara started blushing as Jerry was teasing her but she changed the topic when she saw us.

"well as you can see we have a new resident in the village and he needs a bit of help, so can you be kind and call your mother"

as he was saying this he pointed at me and Sara understood him so she went to call her mother.

we only waited a couple of seconds for a lady to appear coming down the stairs.

"Hello Father, and welcome Mr.."

"oh you can call me Jupiter my lady"

"oh you flatter me, Mr. Jupiter, Sara already told me that you were carrying a baby with you, I understand why Father brought you here"

"Can you please help me with that?"

"of course, I will give him to me already this poor thing has been starving for a while now"

as she said that she proceeded to pick me up from Zeus's hands.

'what should I do now, I already told him that I don't need milk to grow, I have better sources haaa, I'm not degrading myself again even if I fused with a baby the grown me from the past life is still there and he refuses to do this, heck even the baby me refuse to do it as he wants to do it only from our mother, sadly she is no longer with us…for now'.

as she took me to another room she put me in a comfortable position and then started undressing her top exposing her breasts and then she started feeding me, or should I say trying to feed as didn't open my mouth.

"come on child~~ open up~~"she tried to convince me while talking to me softly but I didn't budge.

"what's wrong child, are you not hungry, it's not poison, it's delicious milk~~~come on"

after she tried every way to make me drink her milk she started to give up and dress up again then took me in her arms again getting back to where zu- I should start calling him grampa at this point.

"Mr.Jupiter this child stubbornly refuses to drink from my breast I'm not sure if I can feed him like that"

"..huh, bell?"

Grampa had a weird expression on his face then he picked me up from Floria then looked at me while I averted my eyes from him

"haaa I'm sorry Floria, but this child lost his mother not too long ago, this may be the reason why he refuse you…"

"oh I'm sorry, it must have been hard for you both…"

"It's fine his mother's last words are for him to live, I don't think he wants to follow her shortly or she will scold him ha ha ha"

"fufu, she was quite the kind mother wasn't she, anyway I will bring you milk from a cow it should be better than him not eating anything"

"yes please I will feed him this no need to trouble yourself"

"Okay then, I doubt you can clean your new house here at this hour of the day, my husband will be here soon you can know each other, he will help you clean up the house tomorrow until then make yourself at home"

"thank you again"

"don't mention it"

after giving the milk to Grampa she went to the kitchen to prepare dinner, Grampa started feeding me the milk I didn't resist this time as it was from a cup.

"….was it because she wasn't Meteria… your mother"

'uhm' I nodded my head to him

"….haaa I will not force you to do what you don't want but are you really fine by just taking magic from the air as your food?"

I nodded my head again, the magic nurtured my body better than milk, even if it didn't I can get the needed nutrients from the pills I will be making in the future.

"haaa fine do as you like… but you really hold a lot of surprises don't you bell"

I looked at him with confusion, I had a feeling that he didn't mean the surprise on my powers but something else.

"You know little Bell you're not like your mother and neither like your father, you see your mother was known to be sick and weak her whole life, and your father was the weakest one in my Familia"

"ah as you know I changed my appearance and my name that's because I'm a god and my name is Zeus"

"god can give their blessing to mortal through something that's called falna, and when a god gives his blessing to a mortal they are considered a Familia"

"And I was the head chief of the strongest Familia alongside your Grandma Hera Familia we both were considered the strongest in the world until an unfortunate accident happened…"

"anyway your mother was from your Grandma's Familia although she was weak and sick she was loved by everyone around her and I think you know why yourself right"

I nodded my head, even though I only met her for not even an hour I already love her.

"while on the other hand your father, hehe your nothing like him at all. your father although was the weakest in the Familia, he had the biggest balls of them ha ha ha"

'i don't think you should say that to a baby '

"you see your father was the biggest pervert I have seen in my whole life in this mortal world ha ha ha, he was always peeking at women while bathing, always ogling at women and harassing some of them even if it meant that he going to get beaten by them, but let me tell you something, he is a coward as well, he never hesitate to leave me behind when he sensed danger when I was peeking with him," he said the last part while gritting his teeth.

"anyway, you are not like that at all bell, I was expecting you to have the time of your life with Floria's breast over there, but you're still just a baby after all"

"Don't worry bell when you grow up a little more I will teach you all about wome- HEY! NOT AGAIN! BELL I AM STILL TALKING TO YOU! DON'T IGNORE ME"

'yeah let's start meditating' I closed my eyes and started focusing on the star system and started cultivating there.

'let's start with the space system, now that I have 7 starts in every element I need to learn how to connect them to create a star path once I do that I can cast magic'

'After that, I need to focus on fire and lighting than the rest of the elements

as I was training to connect the stars together I could already connect to 6 stars just need a bit mo- never mind I succeed already I can cast a novice spell already.

'is it because I reincarnated? I don't really understand why but I feel I will have an easier time with mental-related magic. but that's fine now that I reached level one in the space system I can't reach the next one just by cultivating I need to get used to the magic first, but before that, I will train as many elements as I can tonight'

I trained until the morning and I managed to train a handful of elements such as fire and lightning and ice and water and wood and shadow and chaos I reached level 1 in all of them and I can cast spells of the said element at any time, though I still needed to train to cast spells without breaking my concentration.

"Good morning bell, have you slept well ?"

I saw Grandpa walking toward me and picking me up, we slept in the same room but I just noticed that we are still at Floria's house I think today we will get a house anyway.

'umm'

"Good today we are going to get our own house I'm going to clean the house with Mark. he's Floria's husband and a very kind soul like his wife."

"so I'm going to leave you with Floria and the kids today, but before that let's go and eat breakfast with them"

while he said that he was going down the stairs we saw Floria and her kids in addition to a new man, he looks quite big and built kind of intimidating.

"good morning Jupiter, how is Bell doing, did he sleep well ?"

"he did indeed, I thank you again for the hospitality"

"Don't mention it, man we welcome anyone in need, anyway you should start eating breakfast so we can start early"

"you're right, aren't you eating though ?"

"I already did eat, I always wake up earlier than anyone, I stayed to accompany them in breakfast though"

"oh great can you help hold Bell while I eat please"

"oh i-i'm not sure about that"

"fufu, you see Jupiter my husband gets heartbroken when the baby he picks up starts crying, although he looks strong on the outside he is quite fragile on the inside"

"c-come on Floria"

"Hahaha, don't worry about it mark, Bell is not like other babies anyway just try holding him and you will understand"

"haa fine but I'm not comforting him if he cries"

Mark started picking me up while being nervous, but he started calming down when he saw me smiling.

"oh that's the first time I see him smiling, it's quite the cute one isn't he"

"….I'm glad you didn't lose it"

Floria and Grandpa started smiling and then proceed to finish their meals.

After finishing their breakfast Grandpa went with Mark to clean and repair the house, I was left with Floria and the kids.

I was asleep most of the time, but in reality, I was training my magic focusing on space elements every now and then I can telekinesis by trying to move objects around me, surprisingly it worked easily I can lift heavy objects as chairs even whole bed, now I just need to figure out how to move multiple objects and control them at the same time.

As I finished my training for the day Grandpa came back with Mark and they were talking and laughing about something.

'looks like Grandpa already fit perfectly in the village'

as he got close to me he picked me up and started talking to me.

"hello bell did you miss me"

I nodded my head which surprised him and made him laugh.

"hahaha don't worry bell I finished my work for today so I will stay with you, anyway we are going to move to our new house so let's greet Floria before we go"

'umm'

after saying that he started making his way to where Floria was and bid farewell to her, even though Grandpa said it would be fine she insisted that she will come later with dinner just so we can get used to the house today.

with that, we started making our way to our new house.
