《Rise of the Empress of Stars》A new beginning
Advertisement
'Watching the soft moonlight shining falling through the window, feeling the warm embrace of my mother the despair eased a bit as I wake up from the painful memory of my last life. Feeling the wetness of my eyes, I know that I must have cried silently for a while now.'
'The happy days with mum and dad must have unlocked those painful memories that I have desperately tried to run away from. Those years after the death of my parents, life was like a rat crossing a street, constantly running away from Aetherians and mutant beasts, rummaging through piles of garbage for a piece of bread or an unfinished nutrient solution. It seems like I must face them now. After making up my mind I just snuggle closer to mum and fell asleep inhaling the comforting fragrance of Lavender.'
"Little girl, what's the matter with your eyes? They are quite swollen, why did you cry! Come on tell mom if your dad disturbed your sleep again and I will let you beat him up while he can't runway." 'I woke up hearing this from my mum and looking her face livid anger when saying about the part of beating up father but eyes filled with concern. My eyes turned red and tears are threatening to fall again, which I resisted showing to mum by burying my head in her embrace.'
"Why do you sound so excited when you talk about hitting me! I didn't do anything to provoke you today my dear wife, little girl come on I know it must have been you, little witch proving your mum again." Dad exaggeratedly shouted while pointing at me and quickly kneeling to admit his mistake when he saw mum looking at him with a cold face for scolding me.

'I couldn't help laughing seeing the performance of my parents, as I realized more thoroughly realized that I am reborn and I still have a pair of silly parents. The thought of spending my childhood happily with my parents once again made me understand that I should let go of the past.'
Seeing that their little girl is no longer in a low mood, both of them secretly breathe a sigh of relief. Taking me to the front yard mom introduces the place where we are living, and the location was quite beautiful according to mom.
'Watching the rows of fruit trees on the slope below the railing, the passing of clouds on a few hilltops nearby, the distant snow-capped mountains spanning across the horizon, it was indeed quite pleasing to see. But after seeing the beautiful nebula and some more natural wonders in my last life I give a much better review, though.'
In the coming days, I got more and more attached to my parents. I couldn't help but think if my IQ has fallen of terribly as I once a majestic empress and here I am now trying to piss off my dad at every given opportunity by either peeing on him or cry whenever I see mom coming while I am alone with dad.
'I have decided, this time I am going to get enough strength to protect the people dear to me and lead them into the wider sky under the stars.'
Seeing the firm expression from the start to the later pure smile that reaches my eyes since I was born, Sylvia and Zale locked at each other as if to confirm their findings.
'I bought sight of mum and dad giving each other a look, I sighed as it looks like my cover as a normal ignorant baby is going to be blown in a couple of days. Well anyway, that can make it easier for me to learn more about this planet and the current level of technology for my plans to lead the family to the sea of stars.'

'counting today I am 7 months old, I can already talk but I am afraid as it might be too much for my parents as I have mistakenly made an imprint of my ass on steel plates when I accidentally fell back on my buttocks while trying to stand. This is going in my dark history since I am pretty sure dad is never going to forget as he was recording at that time.'
'Based on the technology level of this planet, the humans here can be regarded as ancestors we were in Stellar Dimension. There are a lot of business prospects even if I use 0.1% of what we learned in my last life. I still couldn't get access to more detailed information though as my mom or my dad will always keep an eye on me since that incident a few days after my birth. Hey, has anyone ever told you how hard it is to laugh watching a cat chase a mouse every day when the kid has a soul aged in the thousands.'
'Today I have finally entered the ranks of Evolutionary as I am now a Tier-1 Human Evolutionary. It seems I have an affinity for water, space, and time. Though I still can't control the water elements or space and time, it's still gratifying to finally have a little bit of strength. I can finally stand up now without the previous embarrassment officially at the age of nearly 7 months old. I have made up my mind to talk to parents as it's quite annoying to keep my mouth shut most of the time.'
'Entering the house, I can hear that parents are having an important discussion about leaving me with the caretaker for the night. I am quite dumbfounded to hear this as they always like to stick to me for quite a while now. But to be honest I am secretly happy as I get to access the internet to get more information.'
"When are you going to leave mum?" I asked as I am quite excited to be alone.
"Tonight little girl," mum says nonchalantly while still discussing with dad.
As I watch both mum and slowly turn their heads realizing that I just spoke fluently unlike a baby, I realized I am in deep shit as I quickly cover my mouth and run out of the house.
