CHAPTER 3

First things first, I don't remember being born. I just opened my eyes and here I was, maybe it's because of the stimulus. As a baby everything was hyper, lights were too bright, sounds were too loud, even when I didn't want to cry pain was just in a different level as a baby. Secondly; that selection screen was a ripoff, I chose single dad but here I was with some lady hovering over me changing my diapers. Not that mind but; 'Why does that sound weird'

"Can you keep it down, I'm trying to sleep"

"How can you be sleeping on such a beautiful day"

Closing my eyes I felt my mind slip to another place and when I opened it I was in a plain and had my body from my previous life, thankfully I could walk in here. By in here I mean my mindscape, to the left was a lush garden filled with golden grasses where the sun was always shining and the sky was incredibly bright, this was where my yang spirit yō resided and to the left was a barren field with black soil where the dark blue sky had no stars; usually it would be occupied by my yin spirit in but.

"Ouch! Get off me" shouted yō as in stomped on his back repeatedly.

"I've told you to shut up but if you won't then listen, then I'll just remove your toungue"

"Hey, you guys done"

"Gimme a moment" said in as she held his throat.

I decided to ignore them till later and walked to the night zone as I liked to call it. Slowly I went from walking to jogging before breaking into a sprint. I had a serious problem, I had lived a life without walking or having any feeling in my legs for years and I don't know why it didn't affect me when I was with Cosmos or when I'm here but I can feel it hindering my growth on the outside.

Moving my limbs is difficult because I've forgotten how to and even if I can move I'll most likely be clumsy, have bad footing or something like that. It could hinder me in battle. Coming to a halt I began to slow my breathing as a thought came to my mind;

"It won't stop me. After all, I can't achieve my goal if I make excuses"

Having nothing to do all day or rather being unable to do anything all day causes a person to be completely focused on whatever they are able to do. So I learnt whatever I could learn in my past life which included Japanese, mostly so I could show off by watching sub without the sub but now it's actively useful. I found out through eavesdropping that my new name was Kurogane Kuroda or Kuro for short;

"How creative"

Anyway, I've been putting as much effort as I can into my physique but that doesn't mean I'm not training my mind. As a psychic my mind has to be 100% at all times so I practice moving things around with mind and after one week; I still couldn't do it so I began with something more simple.

According to in and yō my spiritual energy was growing everyday so it would be better to gain control over it as quickly as possible so everyday I would meditate trying to feel something that wasn't there and before you know it I could feelit but actually I was just aiming for the Reiryoku within me but suddenly I could feel more than that. I could feel Reishi in my surroundings to around 3 meters. It was a strange feeling like a part of my body was there moving with it but it felt natural at the same time.

"Is this some form of ESP. Awesome, I'm expecting to be able to see Pluses as a psychic but if this ESP thing works out I'll be the one looking for them. I wonder what else this thing can do"

After a few months of training not only had I managed to take my first steps and was already planning a heist to steal the cookies at the top of the shelf, I had also figured out how to manifest Reiatsu (spiritual pressure). Basically; I just had to focus on letting my Reiryoku flow as fast as possible, the faster the flow the greater the pressure. I practiced on some insolent mosquitoes who had waged war on me a while ago due to how delicious the blood of babies taste, I'm guessing. Albeit they drew first blood, after a few loses I was able to crush them with my Reiatsu, I focused all the pressure onto one point to get this result and while a wonderful result I need to be more careful making sure my escapades do not gather the attention of my mother, she may not know she gave birth to a psychic not to talk of a reincarnated one.

I'm not sure what she does but it must be very important for her to simply dump me in a daycare every morning, well no dead beat dad so she definitely had to work hard to feed me. This is why I would have preferred a dad; it's hard to see a beautiful lady take care of a child all by herself, it makes me guilty for being born.

"There's also the worry she gets remarried. Eh! Whatever it is, I'll handle it"
