《My Second Life As A Father Of Two》Chapter Five
Advertisement
I was hoping that they wouldn't find my body in at least a month, I only needed a month to transfer the money from the Swiss bank accounts as for the mansion that I spent a lot of time working on. I would need to forget it, it would be dangerous to go back there, since the people I shared common interest knew of its location. If the current me were to show up there then it wouldn't be long before I was captured and tortured or just straight up killed.
Setting that aside I decided to google the name for my current body, since he was the sire from a rich family then there should be some form of news on him. When the information came up I was a bit taken aback and I started to wonder whether this kid was naive or just a complete idiot. For him to give up the number of riches he had along with the title and all the other perks that came with it, even the achievements he had made throughout his youth had been flushed down the drain for a woman that wasn't worth the dirt off the bottom of his shoes.
The original He Mo-Tian was the youngest son of the He conglomerate, a tenth generation heir, not only that but he was a well-known genius and because of that he had been guarded and protected like he was some golden egg. Since his genius had been discovered at the age of five he had become the most important member of his family only second to the patriarch. He had been raised well and stuffed full of resources and opportunities that his family worked hard to get him, he was on the fast track to an amazing life but jumped ship just for some cheap woman.
I sighed and looked around the room the only good thing he got in return for that sacrifice was the twins, but the question that remained was whether the gains outweighed the losses and if he knew this would happen would he do it again? I was sure that if he was here now he would probably answer yes but like the rest of the people that lived with logic, I would say no, he could always have more children and he could give them better lives but he brought the twins into such a terrible life.

I sighed and shook the thought from my head, it had already happened and there was no changing it, it may have been his bad luck but for me, it was my good luck. It meant that I didn't need to put up with that overly doting family of his and could go about my business without worrying that they'll poke their noses in. I figured that before I even had the chance to do as I wished they would already be able to tell that I wasn't their kid and god knows how they would deal with me then.
"I guess I should thank you kid, good job."
I checked the time and then got up to make a feed for the boys, it felt strange to see that they were still so small even after eating so many times in the day. One of the things I needed to do after getting the money and finding a good home was to take them for a check-up, but they weren't the only ones that needed checking I was sure that all three of us were suffering from malnutrition. After that, it was to settle the matter of going back to school, with how old the host as he was supposed to be entering the third year soon but he had already been absent from school for a long time so I had to work hard to catch up.
And then there would be the issue of getting into a good school there was no way I could go to one of the nation's schools because even if I scored high on the transfer test, they would toss me into a bad school because of the host history of dropping out. That meant that I needed to find an international school and one with good standing and since both I and the host knew a few foreign languages there wouldn't be many issues no matter which one got into.

I went to the crib and woke up Jian-Mo and dead him first, the baby suckled the bottle as if he had been starved for days, the sight causes me to frown but I observed him incase he choked. When I was finished I rubbed his back and burped him before feeding Chen-Mo and burping him, when I was done I put them back in the cot and went back to the laptop. The thought of having to go back to school kind of miffed me but even if I had all the money in the world I wouldn't be able to live well in a country that puts education above all else.
If you just had money people would pay attention to you until you no longer had any, but if you had a degree then even without money at least you won't die. But even then it depended on the degree, there were many you could choose from if you wanted to be at the top but for someone like me who had suffered for most of my life, I wanted to relax in this one. That meant I'll just go with what I know, what was the easiest for me and that would be languages, both I and the host were skilled in learning languages so there were many that we were fluent in as for those that we weren't we at least knew the keywords for said languages.
When it came down to it I'll choose the arts stream and forget about the sciences, I shrugged after deciding on it. I would treat this life as a prize for all the suffering I went through in the last and as for the twins I'll take it that they were meant to have the same life. I'll raise them well and give them a glorious life so that the ones who had abandoned them could only watch on in envy.
I smiled to myself and got up to go to the room, looking into the crib I was met with two sets of watery eyes, the babies' eyes flicked in the light showing off the touch of blue they had in them. They were just like the eyes of the host, who had gotten his blue eyes from his mother who came from french descent. Though she was french she was raised in china since the age of three, because of that his father who was full Chinese didn't get much trouble marrying her since she knew and followed all the traditions with respect.
From the looks of the twins they had taken all the looks from the He and Markson families, there was nothing in them that resembled their mother, if the original hadn't seen her give birth to them I would have thought that she wasn't their mother. Is that why it was so easy for her to pick up and abandon them, even taking the money they needed to live? But hey at least they had a father that was willing to stay and look after them.
"God, I think I might be jealous."

A Titan's Crusade
Erik Thayne spent most of his life being brutally ridiculed and tormented for his weight and physical appearance, among other things. A social pariah and diagnosed with an eating disorder no one has an explanation or treatment for, Erik spent years trying to overcome his issues with his personal image and escape the ridicule and vicious torment of his peers. After years of dedicated effort, and a fresh start in a town away from his childhood and adolescent tormentors, he had finally begun to truly realize what he'd been striving for all along. Only, fate apparently has other plans because in the blink of an eye, Erik found himself snatched from Earth and taken to another universe, another world, where he is offered the chance to be more than he'd ever imagined. Now, he has to fight to restore the Balance between Chaos and Order on a world of swords and magic, in a universe governed by the System's laws, which resemble those of RPGs from Earth. Erik learned to embrace the things about himself that others taught him to hate, using them to reforge his physical identity into something more removed from his old self-loathing. But can he learn to embrace the darkest parts of his mind just as he did the reviled aspects of his body and become who he needs to be to succeed in the task set before him? It might just prove easier to stalk in the dark as a monster than to walk in the light as a man... *This is my first time publishing anything I've written to a public audience. Due to formatting issues, I forwent traditional stat-screens for something a little less problematic, delineating stat screens by separating them from regular text with horizontal lines in a lighter-grey coloration. Let me know if you like them or not. Criticism is entirely welcome, but please don't hate on my work after only reading 1 chapter. This is a writing project I intend to complete but I have committment problems so we'll see how long this goes on. Also, fair warning, as the description implies, the main protagonist is intended to be someone who has been treated cruelly, developed antisocial tendencies, and ultimately has to question his own humanity--or lack thereof. This story is not intended to be brutally dark but I will definitely be trying to follow a darker theme. It is intended to be violent and some scenes later in the story might be...alarming. There will likely also be some light, non-graphic (think more implied with crude jokes and conversation than actual details, there will be no full-blown sex scenes)relationship scenes planned later and if you're opposed to either a bisexual or gay main character, stay away. I haven't yet decided which way he's going to swing but the odds on him being straight are relatively miniscule, and I've always wanted to write a story about a gay man who basically looks like a lumberjack because who doesn't like giving conventional stereo-types the middle finger? This will NOT be a harem story, and I have no intention to focus on romance over action--it's a consequence of character development where I'm concerned, not the be-all-end-all of the story. The cover-art does not, in any way, belong to me. It was an image titled the Druid King (by duskanmarkovic according to the file name) which I found on Google Images. Until I can get something commissioned, this is the best stand-in image I could find.
