"Office?" Disbelief showed on his face.

"This is nothing special."

My mother recovered her shock quickly and nodded satisfied.

Seemed like she slowly got used to my awesomeness.

"Please sit down. Do you want some tea?"

"No thanks." Father shook his head while he smiled.

"I want some."

"With sugar?"

"I don't like sweet things, so with no sugar please."

"Hmm, how unexpected. You are right there is no place for sweetness in this world. The sweet makes soft, if you are soft you will die an early death."

"Yes, yes." Mother nodded eagerly.

"Thorus, you don't know how much you make me proud. The marvelous things you did aside. Being more of a man at the age of two than your father means you will have a bright future."

Father seemed like he wanted to protest something.

"I saw how you handled your subordinates and was surprised. The way you had them under your control, especially this number one of yours. Such much devotion from the first second on you took command."

I chuckled and went to the replicator.

"Tea, Earl Grey, hot, for two people."

The tea martialized and I then I put it on the table.

"Thanks."

She took a sip and her eyes widen.

"This tea, I have never tasted such tea."

She took one more sip.

"Exquisite, what is this tea called?"

"This is black tea aromatized with bergamot. This tea..." I took a sip.

Ah, earl grey. To drink this tea in a huge pagoda spaceship, that orbited another world.

"I remember, last time I drunk this was in my former life. I stood at the apex of the rap game, but the haters, they always hatin."

"What do you mean?" My father asked.

Mother put her cup down.

"You two already know that I have memories of my former life, right?"

"Yes, Uncle Lee had told us about your condition. To think our son had memories of his past life." Mother said as she sighed.

I nodded slowly and took another sip.

I wanted to convince them that I was a mighty expert, a ruler in my past life. Doing so would allow me more freedom.

Time to overdo it, I'm not sure if they believe anything, but they couldn't refute it either.

"Mother, father. Do you consider me a true son? I want to know the answer. I know the love you have shown me was genuine. I can still feel that love, but..."

"Thorus." Mother interrupted me in a slightly raised tone, her face looked serious.

Even father was making a serious face.

"Mother I-"

"Thorus, don't take a parent's love lightly.You have memories of your former life and are worried that we won't love you? So what you have memories of your past life? Isn't this life that counts now?"

"Yes, Sophie is right. You are our son, no matter what."

I jumped down from my seat and walked towards the garden, I opened the half-open folding door and looked outside.

"Familiar love, it was something, I didn't know. Until now, I didn't understand. But now I see it. If you say that you can love me unconditionally than listen first to who I was."

"My son no matte-" Father was about to say something when he was interrupted by the com system.

"Chief engineer Iron hammer to Captain Thorus." A hoarse voice rang out.

"Iron Hammer?"

"Oh, didn't you order us to come up a name for ourselves?"

"Ah, right.Continue."

"The probes are ready to launch."

"Good work Iron Hammer. Launch all probes into every direction cloaked. After 300.000km they should go to warp 6."

"Ay captain."

Pyuuu Pyuuu, Pyuuu.

You could hear the probes launch.

"What was that?" Father asked.

I turned around.

"I just launched the probes. With it, I can find new life, explore new space, without having to move."

"Now, back to topic."

"Yes." My father swallowed his question he was about to ask.

"I don't wish any interruptions. Please be considered, I'm about to tell you something from my former life." They both nodded.

"I was born in a poor country were the living conditions were bad.The civil war began raging when I was 13 years old. I joined the rebels and they taught me guerilla warfare. With 14 I killed for the first time. After five years I played a major part in overthrowing the tyrant government.

People remembered me as their hero. Well, I saved a lot of lives back then. After the old leaders were killed, the provisional government hold elections. I put myself up and won by a huge majority becoming the president. I was something like a king, I passed every law without obstruction.My reforms brought peace and prosperity."

"What really?" Father exclaimed in shock.

I sighed inwardly, in reality, I was more like a NEET in my former life. What president?The highest authority I ever held was, being a moderator on a sci-fi forum.

"But then I was assassinated because I tried to wipe out the hidden powers, and former loyalists. I thought I was invincible until I was backstabbed by a subordinate.

"Thorus..." Mother spoke out the pain could be clearly heard from her voice.

"Sit, down please, everyone." I jumped back on my seat which was too big for my two-year-old body."

We sat back together, an awkward silence resided in the ready room

"I told you what kind of person I was, do father and mother still consider me their child?"

Mother shook her head, smiling.

"Silly child.Which mother doesn't love her child."

"Yes, yes, also you were such a boss in your former life. Hahaha, I think you are mature enough to receive my sword training."

"Hey." My mother stood up protesting.

"He will learn magic first. Do you want to ruin his body? If you train, him he will become a two-year-old bodybuilder."

"What are you saying? I will train him properly. You, buzz off."

"Roland. You are begging for a beating."

"Humph, now I had enough. I can't endure anymore. You have picked on me too many times."

"Oh? You dare to talk back to this sister?"

"Mother?"

"Not now."

"Really now? I show you who's the daddy.You say I will ruin his body with my training? If you teach him magic, the worst thing that will happen is that he will explode. And getting crippled from your training can be counted as getting off lightly."

A sinister chuckle rang out from mother.Holy shit, what was going on here?

"Hoo? Hehehe, this brings back old memories. I guess we can only settle it like in the old times." Bloodlust emitted out of mothers eyes. I swear these eyes longed for slaughter.

My father grinned, he slowly reached for his sword.

"Are you sure. Didn't we want to become proper parents?"

"That was before all this. 'Proper' parents will result in weak offspring. We don't need to fit in anymore. No more hiding, from now on."

A meaning full look was on my mother's face as she looked at father.

"Great, then let's settle it whoever gets to train him first."

"But I'm already in a sect. You don't need to fight." I was about to defuse the situation. I didn't want them to blow up my ship.

"Thorus my son, this is a talk between adults."

"Yes sit tight and look how I beat your father. After I beat him even you won't recognize him. Thorus look closely, I'm going to show you my magic."

My ready room was in danger.

"Computer put a level 10 force field around my parents. Authorization Thorus."

A sound of acknowledgment rang out and a force field appeared and became invisible.

"Alright, I shall not interfere with your educational choices. Fight it out and don't worry about any damages."

My mother nodded with a smile that turned crooked when she looked back at father.

"Sorry, but you have lost your rights to interfere with his growth when you dropped him."

"Tche." My father spat out some spat on the ground.

"I knew you would still hold ill feelings since that day.What if him falling on his head made him remember his past? You should be thankful instead. Humph, if you train him he will explode for sure. Let me build up his physical body first stubborn woman. If he has a sturdy body he will survive your magic lessons."

"No way. You want him to become a piece of muscle. Look at his delicate body, I won't let him suffer anymore."

"Enough woman. Receive my blow."

"Hahaha, come and get me."

My father drew his sword and a wind blade sliced trough mother... No, it was only her after image. She was already standing behind father preparing for a counterstrike.

"Parlor tricks. Life Death arts Secret technique." In an instant father's body rumbled and twisted, he put his sword in reserve grip and stabbed his sword into his body. The sword stabbed out and grazed mother's belly as she barely avoided it.

Blood leaked out of mother's belly.

"You ruined my dress. You will pay for it."

"It's not like I pay for everything. What's the matter? Became an old hag after giving birth. In the old day, this trick wouldn't have worked on you." Father drew his sword out from his body without making a pained face.

The barley bleeding hole closed up in an instant, as a brown aura shone from his body. His aura was skin tight without any leakage. It seemed like father used his mana internally, boosting his strength.

My mother's cheeks became red.

"This's suits you much better than changing the wipes."

"Hehehe, thanks. I think it's time to take the reigns back. I was considerate enough when you were pregnant and because of Thorus condition. But now that we have his blessings, it's time to pay back."

"Hahahaha, come at me. You will regret talking back to your wife like that. I had many chances to kill you in the past but always took pity on you."

"Huh? Is your brain not working? Aiya, the pregnancy must have taken its toll on your body.As I remember it, it was I who was merciful. My mother always used to say, don't hit women. That's why I only used a small part of my power back then."

What the hell? Did they try to kill each other in the past?

"Is that so? Do you know what my mother said?" My mother made a provocative face as she taunted my father.

"What did she say?"

"That I shouldn't bully the weak too much.And it is unsightly for a lady like me."

"Humph twisting the truth for your convenience. I think its time for some old-fashioned domestic violence."

Booms rang out as they fought. The ship rumbled and the forcefield flared up as magic and sword attacks hit it.

I had never seen my mother fight with magic before. She didn't even chant as blood-like crystals formed and shot towards father.

Even though they battled like maniacs, they were aware enough not to destroy everything around them.

Neither of them held the advantage in the fight.

Suddenly my father threw his sword. Mother who was backed into corner teleported just before being hit.

My father seemed to have anticipated it and turned around already.

She appeared behind father, her fingernails turned long and crimson and stabbed out aiming at father's throat.

Father's throat moved and twisted as mother hand passed through.

Contrary to common sense father seemed fine, his kamikaze style of fighting gave him the chance to grab hold of mothers throat. A slight move from both of them could lead to mutual destruction. A shiver went through my spine. Were they still my parents?

My mother retracted her arm, blood spilled on her dress.

Father let go of mother's throat. He coughed a few times spitting out some blood as his throat recovered.

"It seems that it's a draw." Mother said with regret.

"Nah, it's my loss, *cough* You held back."

"So did you." My mother face became flushed. Both of them were bloodied.

My father slowly approached mother. I expected round two but I was worried for nothing.

My father grabbed my mother by her ass and drew her closer.

"Not, now. I'm dirty." My mother got shy all of sudden.

"What are you saying. When we first met you were also full of blood.This brings back memories."

"But Thorus is her-"

Before she could complain, father kissed my mother's bloodied lips.

The scene was really romantic. That bastard he is lucky to be my father, daring to touch my mother so lewdly. Who did he think he was?

"Aiya, this family is quite dysfunctional" I sighed.
