Chapter 3

I don't remember my past life. For whatever reason, I don't feel bad about it. I don't necessarily want to know what kind of life I had, nor do I want to experience that life again.

God has given me another chance, another chance to live a new life and make new memories. And I will make sure to make the best memories in this life!

"Honey! Yoshi has soiled his pants!"

... I hate making this kind of memory though.

I looked toward the man sitting in front of me. He had his nose pinched with his fingers and appeared to not like whatever he was smelling at the moment.

That makes the two of us.

"Why the heck do babies even poop?!" The man said, trying to change my diapers with his face scrunched up in discomfort. "He doesn't even eat! He only drinks milk! Where the heck is all this shit coming from!"

I giggled even though I didn't understand a single thing he said. The language he speaks is different from my own, but I still feel as if I have heard it before. It gives me a feeling of nostalgia.

Now that I think about it, how come I haven't picked up on this language yet? I'm six months old from crying out loud! I should at least be able to form a few words by now, right?

I was broken out of my thoughts by the sound of footsteps. Looking toward the kitchen, I saw a woman coming out with a warm smile on her face.

Aaah~ I want to go to her~

Just as the man was done changing my diaper, I quickly moved away from him and started crawling toward the woman. She is way nicer company than this dude, for some unknown reason, I find her touch comforting.

Honestly, it's like a drug. I think I'm addicted!

"Gaguga!"

I tried to say 'Pick me up, woman'. But instead, some incoherent groaning came out of my mouth. Seriously, it's getting kind of frustrating now.

The woman smiled brightly at me and somehow understood the meaning behind my groaning. She gently picked me up and cradled me in her arms.

Aaah~ This is heaven~

"What took you so long? You only came out of the kitchen when I was done changing his diaper." The man complained. I'm guessing he is complaining because he is whining like a kid. The woman looked at him innocently, too innocently in fact, and did some gestures with her hands.

'I don't know what you're talking about. I was busy preparing dinner, so I didn't hear your voice.' The woman signed, and I was able to understand most of what she meant.

She is the person who has been closest to me since I was born after all, so she has been talking with me by using those signs. I think that's also the reason I have not yet understood the language that man speaks, seeing as how I have had very less exposure to the language since my birth.

The thing I got from her signing was that she had prepared dinner. Other than that, I didn't understand a thing.

"Who are you trying to fool?" The man frowned, looking irritated. "You know what? Forget it. What's done is done. Tonight, you will be the one to take care of him."

The woman grimaced as if very displeased by something. The man smiled smugly, looking very proud of himself.

Man, I want to know what they are talking about. It looks so interesting!

'...fine.' The woman pouted. I poked her cheek to amuse myself, which made her smile.

'Let's talk about this later. Dinner's going to get cold.' The woman signed. The man nodded at her, and then we started making our way out of the room.

Well, this isn't so bad. Living a new life I mean. It has its moments where I feel like burying myself ten feet under the ground, but it has its perks. Like having the privilege to see these two converse. Not to mention, I have grown attached to them. I guess I need to thank God for what he has done for me.

–Wait, now that I think about it, where is my superpower? God said I'd get one. Did he lie to me? He didn't look as if he was lying. Did he scam me?

Oh God, he scammed me!

(4 years later)

4 years. I'm 4 years old now.

In all this time, I can easily say that I have grown into an adorable kid, as I can see in the mirror. I have purple eyes, courtesy of my mother. My face is also very similar to hers, which I'm very glad about. The only thing I have not gotten from her is my hair. Unlike the dark hair my mother has, I have my father's light brown hair.

Now, don't get me wrong, I have not turned into a narcissistic piece of cow-dung who likes to boast about his looks, not at all. The only reason I'm looking at myself in the mirror is for one reason only.

I need to look cute when trying to convince my mother.

"Alright, time to get the tears rolling."

I quickly got out of the bathroom and approached my mother from behind. She was standing near the entrance door of the house, ready to leave somewhere. I took a few deep breaths, before making up my mind.

"Mum, I don't feel like going there," I whispered, and a few drops of tears fell down my face. "Please don't force me." I looked up at her only to see her staring at me silently with no expression on her face.

Crap, did I overdid it with tears?

My mom sighed and after a good few seconds of silent staring, shook her head.

'I'm sorry Yo-kun, but I can't change this decision. It is final, you're going.' She signed with a stern look in her eyes. Tch, I need to push it up a notch.

"Please, Mom! I swear I will be good!" I cried, now full-on bawling. "I will never wipe my nose on the curtains, or use your jewelry as toys! I will be good!"

'YOU WHAT?!' My mother signed, her face red in anger. Shit, I said too much. 'You have got some explaining to do young man, but that can come later!'

She opened the door and gave me a stern glare. Yup, I'm not getting out of this one.

'You're going to school, no matter what you say or do.'

This is going to be troublesome.

Yo, Dear Readers.

Author here.

This chapter was short, very short. The issue is, this is the first time I'm writing a story with this kind of setting, so I have zero clue as to what to do.

The next chapter is going to be big, as the story starts from there.

Mc will get his powers eventually. He will soon realize what kind of world he lives in too. Till now, he has only seen the normal side of this world, but it's soon going to change.

Leave a comment and give me your power stones.

Peace.
