《I Was Monster Once, Now I Am Human》Birth and Education In Modern World (Part-1)

Advertisement

A Monster, In a world of Humans? It is still hard to believe that I will spend my entire next life among those humans without having to worry about my appearance. But to be honest, I thought for sure, The self-proclaimed God will send me there with my appearance of a monster, Never once thought of reincarnation crossed my mind.

At a certain place, a mother gave birth to a healthy boy~

And, the darkness which had previously surrounded me started to disappear while the bright light started replacing its place. and I was engulfed by this bright light, even though my eyes were still closed but yet, I still was blinded by that bright light. As if that light pierced through my eyelids without any resistance.

am I going to be defeated even before I take my first step in the world?! No, never!

It was really hard for me to open my eyes while a bright light shining on them. [Cave=eyes, Water=Light, door=eyelids] I felt like I was in a narrow cave and the water was gushing through, submerging the cave with me. BUT! There was more, a door; behind the door is like 1000ton of water and, Someone was insisting to me to open it!

HOW CAN I? I am gonna DROWN in the light!

I gathered every ounce of mental strength that I could~ and opened the door (Opened Eyes). It was bright, so bright that I could hardly see anything but in a few seconds, I saw a figure but as it came to be, it was gone just like that. Later, I started to feel those hands of the figure on my shoulders and hips.

Is this person holding me?

The gentleness of That figure's hand's, and the placement of her hands on my body was perfect, I felt like a feather in those hands. I was relaxed and felt comfy that I almost fell asleep again but suddenly, I felt something else!

What is this? Is someone scrubbing my back with a brush made out of nails??!

ARRGG IT HURTS...

That really made me cry---------------

Thus, I also felt the vibration of my own voice for the first time. And I could tell, It was not a scream that of a monster, It was the cry of a human baby.

I am a human.

I am sure, whoever stands beside me right this moment, are but also humans. They could hear me crying as an infant, and they will never able to find out; Not just my body but inside this body of a human I, myself as a monster was also crying, too. It will be the first and the last time that I will cry in this life. (As long as I have the control of my body as you know, I can't stop crying right now. I am an infant, after all! )

(Later)

I don't know how long it has been, but maybe, 2 days or so? I still can't see anything but~ Arghh, I badly want to see this new world... What is this place like, where am I born? Is this sort of a building or a house?

How do people survive in this world without being able to use magic? How do they travel? There are many other questions among these few but It's not like I can do anything about it but wait patiently.

(Much later)

Finally! I can hear!! and see through bright light a little! Yea, Previously, I had an only sense of touch and felt the vibration in the body when I cried for the first time. but now, this is actual sound!

"Ouchi, Orochi, who's your daddy? Tell me, who's your daddy? "

uh? What? This feeling; It is same as the one that made me cry. But more importantly, Why are they speaking the same language as humans in my previous world?

"Stop it! Dear, You are gonna make him cry! "

Oh, Oh, This one has to be my mother! Another one must have been my father, not that I care of such character, whose hands are made out of nails. [

"Cry... Hey honey, Did he cry even once after his birth? "

Yea, I did! Don't you remember? Annoying one!

"...No?"

Eh? But! I did cry once, Didn't I?

"I am gonna get the doctor! " [Tap, Tap, Tap]

Did this guy, ran off? Don't tell me he left the mother all alone!

"I hope, you are okay, my son."

Hmmm, So, This human is my mother. and the one that ran off, is the father. Even though I still cannot see them but they do seem like care about their son, about me. Well, even the evilest people care about their offspring. I was hoping to be thrown away as an infant and get over with it, though. Shame.

Anyways, Who is the doctor person they spoke of? must be a healer.

"Honey! I brought the doctor!! Hey, DOCTOR! LOOK AT MT SON! NOW! "

"Yea, once you let go of my collar, Mr. Neslete"

"Dear- What are you doing to doctor!!? Let him go! "

"What?? I can't hear ya, honey. " ----> "Hey, docotor~ if something happens to my son, you know, I am gonna fill ya up with bullet holes?"

I can't see anything, so, Don't ask me...

"Arghh! DEAR! Let-the-doctor-go! "

I can't see anything, so, Don't ask me...

[5min Later]

"Mr. and Mrs. Neslete, your son is healthy. There is absolutely nothing wrong with him if he doesn't cry."

"uh? Is that so? But, Check him again! Check his eyes and stuff!! Come on, Do it doctor, or else you know! "

"Dear... *Sigh* "

"Yes, Yes, I understand. Let me see"

And then this happened, At first, There was no difference in the bright light which had gulped my eyes since I was born but suddenly, that blinding light started to disappear and my vision started to come back to me, slowly and steadily, I was finally able to see figures and a few seconds later, everything.

Everything was different than I expected, Drastically different. The reality I had imagined for this long while I was in the womb and when I was still not able to see anything, is nothing like this. The color of ceilings and walls was bright white and those walls were smooth as they could've been, Unlike in my previous world. I questioned if they used a different kind of stone to build houses and buildings. But later, I will find out how wrong I was.

In the end, When my vision returned I realized, with the time, that even though I have memories from my previous world but they are not gonna help me much in this world to survive. This world is a totally different world.

With my vision returned, I started to look, at everything. Furiously moving my neck around as I clenched my hands. There were a lot of things that I couldn't comprehend even with my almost 160 years worth of experience.

" Look, look! our son seems to be looking at everything with his eyes, wide-open! " Said my mother, When I heard those words, I looked at her. She was holding me in her gentle arms, like a feather. Her long black hairs were pretty, even though I never once admired looks of a human before but she is without a doubt really "b...ea..tifu..". She has black pupils and brown iris' with long, black eyelashes. Wait, Did I just blurt out a few words?

"Awww, He is already trying to speak. He is so----- cute... " Said my-------Annoying father. When He held me for the first time, I felt many needles poking through my skin. Annoying! (That's all the details about the father you get)

"Hahaha, Look! He is making an angry face at you, Dear! " Said my mother, She sure knows HOW I FEEL.

"Eh? But that's not fair! Albert, you should show your cuteness to me, too! "

Albert? The name that God gave me uh? How did they end up knowing? Maybe It was just a coincidence

"Well then, I will be on my way. please do call me, if something doesn't look good about Albert-Sama. " Said the doctor, He sure was keeping a little distance between the annoying one and himself. I might get along with this doctor later in my life. After all, our taste doesn't seem to be that different. When The doctor gazed behind his back, I gave him a thumb up, In my imagination.

[Many Years later]

In a room filled with books shelves, corner to corner. there sat a boy in the middle of the room, surrounded by multiple books on the ground. As he was reading a book, He looks around, curiously, and then "What the---- Isn't this book representing me? " Well, [Closes Book] in any case, that's how I should be described. When I look around myself, All I can see is books lying around on the floor and you can't blame me for being curious about this new world. "In the end, I wanna learn more about this world."

About my childhood, It was quite normal---- At least for a while. Like any other baby, I started crawling as the second step and then walking, My body grew as a normal humans' baby's body would grow. But the thing is, you know, I have memories of my past life and the language humans speak in this world is the same as my previous world so, you see, when I was crawling around, I--also--started--speaking.

"When I think about it, that was a blunder on my part. [Scratch Head]"

It was abnormal if not outright bizarre for my parents. If I had known what would be the consequence of my ability to speak so early on, I would have shut my mouth and waited patiently but unfortunately, I didn't know.

As a result of that, I am kinda locked inside my own house.

They say I am gonna get experimented on if the scientist found me.

About my house, My house is-- No, maybe we should call it a mansion since it is quite a big one. Indeed, the right term to be used for my house is, without a doubt, a mansion if not a castle. But I am still gonna call it a house, It is much easier this way on my mental state.

"Damn it, My castle in my previous world could be called a hut, compared to this house" [Cries in the corner]

In any case, the house is big so it also feels empty at the same time. There are surely servants roaming around the house "They sure have it bad, Cleaning the house and all" but still, I am feeling rather lonely after few years of being trapped inside my own house. " I wanna see the world, Damn it! "

The language humans use in this world is the same in every country and continent, The language is called; Jayns'es [Jayeness] and every human speaks it. And it was the same language that I had learned in my previous world to interact with humans so, Naturally, I could speak it.

My parents were surprised to see my mental growth, thus, They hired many tutors to teach me at home and made sure to keep mouths of those tutors shut with money. By the way, At that time I was like 1 and a half-year-old. Anyways, Those guys[Tutors] taught me about this world, etc until I turned into a 5-year-old brat.

"They sometimes called me a brat. Is that some sort of honorifics?" I'd always ask this question but never once got an answer from them.

This world is called Earth, There are 7 continents in this world "So many!! " And that's not all, Each continent contains many countries. "SOO MANY!!"

I had a good memory so, thankfully I was able to keep up with my teachers.

The country I live in is called Elsberg, Which is an independent country and uses democracy to rule. City; An'thia.

Most importantly, Education is a top priority in this world, This how they compete with each other. With knowledge, Unlike in my world which used to compete with magical tournaments and stuff. Speaking of magic, Yea, As the self-proclaimed mentioned, This world doesn't seem to use any sort of magic but they surely know about it; Many fairy tales mentions about magic and how it is used. Surprisingly, the method mentioned in these fairy tales to use magic is kinda lacking but it should be right, and most people should've able to invoke low tier magics such as fireball

"Strange--What these humans could be lacking? They should have everything. If it's just magic formulas, I could perfect them without any problem." That's something I put aside for now, But seriously, If I am able to use magic in this new world, I am pretty sure-- I could rule this world. I am not doing it, though.

The world I used to live in; there were libraries available for royalties, for them use to use only. But in this world, Information is available to even commoners and can be obtained at any time via Smartphones. There limitation to available information though.

About my family, I am the only child. My father works at a company and my mother is a housewife. Unfortunately, I never questioned their wealth, if the father only works at a company, How did he build this mansion? corporate-slaves shouldn't get this kind of money.

"Hehe, I still remember the time when Father threatened the doctor while saying something about, Filling him up with bullet holes [Worried]"

At the age of 3, I started to question about my own family---" Oh boy, I am sure glad I did that." In that year, I found many bizarre things about my family. Like the documents about collecting taxes--[extortion?] etc.

There are many things that I didn't know while I was a child so, we will start when I was about to turn into a 5-year-old----brat. And when I acquired my first opportunity to go outside of my house.

My 5th birthday was coming up and I was excited since at the age of 5 you get to go "School" and I thought "Oh, I will finally join a school, I read so much about! " though, I did skip, Pre-Nursery, Nursery, Prep or Lower Kindergarten and Upper Kindergarten.

[5th Birthday]

after celebrating my birthday with my parents and servants of the house, I went to bed early since I couldn't wait anymore and Join Elementary School.

Anyways, I am really looking forward to this elementary school. It is not because I am interested in the education system of humans but instead, I want to be done with the purpose of my life and prove to Self-proclaimed God, How wrong he is about humans.

[Next Day]

At The Elementary School

I had to take a test in order to enroll. Well, It is understandable that they will evaluate my ability since I almost skipped every school until now.

[The Test]

The teacher handed a paper to me and told me to sit on a desk, which was in front of him. When I looked at the paper, what I can say other than 'I was amazed'

" What is this? " There are 4 questions like that??!

"Oh my, Is it, too hard? " The teacher answered with a smirk on his face " Don't worry about it and answer these questions as you fit. "

That teacher, He kept glaring at me for some reasons while I was writing down answers to those questions. Not once he looked away from me.

Why is the teacher is acting like that? I wondered. Anyways, This test--- is...

[ 1.3 Min Later]

"I am done. "

"You are? Oh my, Let me have a look. " Said the teacher and picked paper back up from my desk, I had already written answers to all of those questions in the paper and those questions were---

"Wh----? "

"Teacher, you shouldn't keep your mouth open."

While he kept half of his mouth open, he rushed back in the room where my parents were-- In Principal's Office.

And Once again, I was alone. Just like always, all alone. but suddenly, few kids of my age came rushing through the door. Those kids started playing around in the room, few of brats hit each other and the one who got hit started crying like a baby, "What is this? Soo damn funny! " and I couldn't contain myself and started laughing. A female teacher came when she heard the cry and started scolding the other kids and the fun was ruined. At least, my fun.

But wait, why was I having fun while seeing this kid cry? I wondered but didn't give put any thoughts to it and ignored it, thinking "because I hate these humans"

"Albert! Come over here! " Someone shouted from the principal's office and I started walking towards the office.

[Inside the Principal's Office]

The principal asked me a few questions regarding the test and one of those questions was "What did you think about the test?" and my answer was rather a simple one "The test? It was easy, too easy, to be exact. " and With that answer, I could see grin all over my father's face. Are you okay?, I wanted to ask but Let's not.

"I see, So, it was easy. " The principal repeated and then, he continued "Then, why don't take one more test?"

"Okay. "

This time the test was take in front of the principal and my parents. The test itself was better compared to the last one and this time, there an arithmetic question in the test but the strange thing was, There were almost 50 questions in the paper, not just arithmetic but many others and as I answered the questions below, the upper one got harder to solve. At 40th question, I hit the limit of my knowledge and failed to answer the rest.

"This is the greatest shame of my entire life!!" I mumbled to myself as I handed the paper over, with still 9 unanswered questions.

HOW COULD I LOSE? THE GREAT MONSTER!! I've shamed the entirety of my monster family!

When I was thinking about committing Seppuku, The principal said

"You did great, Albert Neslete."

"You are our proud son! Now gimme a hug!! " Annoying father said

"Well, He is someone who will handle the family, when he old enough. " Mother said.

I was surprised, even though I failed to answer 9 questions but they still, are praising me, " Why? " I asked but didn't get an answer.

They ignored me and started talking to each other.

Well, As long as I did good, I should be okay. [No Seppuku? Darn it]

I and my parents came back to home and when I asked them "When will I enroll in the elementary school and able to go there? " father simply answered, "There is no need for you go there." uh? What the***

At that time, I came to realize how bad it was to miss those 9 questions. I swore to myself at that time, If I ever failed to answer any test question again " I will commit Seppuku! "
