Start of a new journey

In the small mansion located in one of the most populated cities.

Inside there is a beautiful young maid who starts her job at this mansion on the first day.

She is an 18-year-old maid with straight black hair and brown skin.

And her first task was to wake the young master of the household up.

"It's morning now young master, it's time to wake up." The maid lifted the blanket but found no one underneath it.

"Young master?!" The sheer panic on her face when she realizes that her master has disappeared is real.

"What?" The sound coming from behind her.

She quickly turned around and saw a small kid that was soaking wet in sweat.

His body was well toned, combined with his brown hair and black eyes making him look older than he is.

"You must be new, my name is Ark and the first rule is always knock, the second is if you want to wake me up get here before dawn."

Ark at the age of 5, teaches an 18-year-old maid with a calming voice.

He just got back from his morning exercise, that is why his body is so wet and hot right now.

"Sorry young master! I didn't know the rules!"

She quickly bows her head down for apologizing.

"Woah!! I'm just joking! There are no rules like that."

Ark quickly changes his mannerism after seeing the panic on the young maid keep growing.

"Really?"

"Yes, please lift your head and bring me some towel and a water bucket, it's getting hot in here…"

"Understood!"

She springs herself up and quickly runs away from his room.

"Young people sure have a lot of energy huh"

Ark feels impressed and deeply sad at the same time.

He goes up to the window and opens it to feel the wind while looking down on the mansion's front yard.

"Hey! When was the last time you guys fertilized this pot!"

"The sun looking nice should be ok for drying clothes today."

Ark watches his servants running around carrying a big bag of fertilizer and a big basket filled with clothes.

This is the everyday routine of this household.

"Oh hello, young master!"

Many servants that notice him greet him with a smile.

Ark smiles back while waving his hand.

"I'm back!"

The young maid ran in with a bucket full of water and a white towel on her shoulder.

"Be careful or you might-"

Balm!

"Trip…"

Ark shakes his head after witnessing the young maid fall on her knee and spill water everywhere.

"Sorry! Sorry! Ah!!"

Bonk!

She tries to quickly stand up but ends up slipping and then sliding her head into the bucket.

"Are you done?"

Ark exhale.

"Yes…."

She nods and slowly lifts the bucket off her head and stands back up.

Soaking and dripping with water her maid outfit now looks very inappropriate for young boy sight.

"I think I should leave, no, I will get another bucket for you."

Ark can see the sadness on her face, she looks like she is going to cry.

It was the first day for her and she was already messing everything up.

"Did I order you that? I only ask for a tower and a bucket, not two of them."

Ark walks up to her and raises his hand.

"!!"

The young maid closes her eye brace for impact.

She was already prepared to get punished but never thought her first time will be from the young master!

"!!.....??"

But the slap never came, and her clothes are now drying up!

"Huh?"

She opened her eyes and saw the water flowing from her clothes and floor to form a water ball in Ark's hand.

"Third rule, don't do anything extra."

Ark speaks with the water ball floating above his palm.

Not only did he recapture the water that had already spilled, but he also removed the foreign matter from the water.

The maid was amazed by what she saw.

He waves his hand a little and then the water drops back into the bucket.

"Thank you for the water, and you can go tell my mother I will be ready in 5 min."

Ark put a towel in a bucket and wiped himself off the sweat.

Of course, if he wanted to, he could just remove the sweat. but man, cold water after exercising feels too good.

"You knew about the appointment?"

The young maid was surprised.

Her job is to wake him up so he can quickly change and go meet the mistress of this house.

"Why do you think I'm up early?"

Ark answered while staring at the maid.

"And can you please go out quickly, or do you want to watch me naked?"

"Ok! No!! I mean Understood!"

The young maid's face turned bright red and ran away.

"Mother sure hires a weird one…"

Ark waves his hand and the door slam shut, now he can privately clean his body.

---

"He said he will be ready in 5 minutes."

The young maid reported to her mistress.

Her mistress is a mature lady with a tall majestic figure, luckily that her face is so beautiful and calm so she does not feel intimidated standing in front of her.

"Thank you for waking him up, Julia."

She leans down and pats the young maid on her head.

"Uh…about that…"

Julia panicked.

"He was already awake, wasn't he?"

The mistress smiled with empathy.

"Yes…."

Julia node.

"Every time…. Don't worry about it, He always wakes up before any of us do…"

Mistress shakes her head with disappointment.

From the day he was born, she never gets to see her son's handsome face wake up and cry for his mommy.

Not ever once did she hear him call for help with anything!

Even reading a book!

"Madam, I don't know if I can ask this, but is the young master a 5-year-old?"

The mannerism, the feeling, the speech pattern, everything about him is too calm and collected.

"He always is like that."

The mother looked like she was about to cry.

She once plans to guilt her husband into staying home to raise their son together but the son is too easy to raise, unlike other children it feels like accompanying a sick person more than taking care of children.

Never cry, scream, can claw up to the toilet after seeing his father use it.

He can even change his diaper!

He acted like a normal person but he was just a toddler!

"You know, I don't know what to feel about him being such a capable child."

She knows she is raising a genius but she wants to do other motherly jobs too! not just breastfeeding.

"I'm here mother."

Ark walks in with his school uniform dressed up while tying his necktie.

His uniform composes of a brown jacket with a white shirt underneath and a white tie.

"See! He can even tie his tie!"

Mother screams internally and externally.

"I saw father do it, Am I doing it wrong?"

Ark makes sure he copies every move his father used, why does his mother seem to be disappointed?

"No! you perfect my son! If your dad sees you, he sure will be proud!"

"Where is dad?"

Ark looked around but didn't find his father.

He remembers that his father would join them today, as his father promised his mother.

"He just has an emergency job to do… but don't worry! I and Julia will accompany you to your first magic level test!"

His mother hugs and lifts him off the ground while swinging him around in her arms.

"Please!! put me down! it hurts!!"

With Ark's word, Mistress quickly let her son go with sadness on her face.

Of course, Ark did lie, what men will not want to be in her heavenly hug.

But she is his mother in this life so it feels very weird.

He always wanted to delete the memory of him sucking her milk but maybe that was a curse of remembering things.

You can't forget.

"If everyone is ready then let go!!"

The mother stormed out with an energetic feeling.

"Yeah! To the young master's first test!!"

Julia copies her mistress's action and runs after her.

"They sure are energetic."

Ark shakes his head with a smile.

"Young master, please take this with you."

Before he goes, the head butler, who is an old man, walks up to him and presents him with a pouch filled with coins.

"Master is afraid that Miss Velvet will give you too much money, so he deposited your allowance with me."

"Thank you, Albert."

Ark nods his head and receives the pounce.

"I wish you good luck, young master."

Albert bows before turning back to continue his business.

While walking to the carriage Ark examined his pouch and found 10 silver coins inside and a paper note.

"Don't disappoint me" is what is written on the note.

"My dad sure is strict huh."

Ark folds the note back into his pocket and climbs up to the carriage.

After a coachman saw all passengers ready, he lashes his horses and the journey begins.

The year is 1500, roughly 4000 years since his death.

And now he is at the start of his new journey to his first school in this new life.

'I hope this time I can live normally.' He wishes.

In the past, he sacrificed everything for the sake of the world.

But now if death doesn't welcome him, we will try to live a normal life.
