《No Longer Human》Chapter 2: Reborn
Advertisement
Warm…. and wet. That was my first feeling when I woke up. It was dark but I could see traces of red around me. I was surrounded by a mysterious thick liquid that felt strangely warm. Despite being submerged in the liquid, I could breathe perfectly fine. I felt my body, relieved that I could still feel all four of my limbs. I could also feel an appendage sticking out of my butt.
Where am I? What is this place?
Suddenly, a wave of drowsiness washed over me, making me sleepy.
I fought the drowsiness but it was too much even for me. It didn’t take long for me to fall into slumber.
----------
I woke up, feeling much better. I felt more ‘complete’ than before. My stomach growled, signaling to me that I was hungry. My instincts kicked in. I pushed the walls surrounding me with my body and was surprised at how soft the wall was. Suddenly, I heard a ripping sound. The liquid surrounding me started to drain away.
“Argghh!”
A coarse scream was heard. However, the scream sounded more like a howl. The walls around me started to contract and tighten. I could feel myself being pushed out. Every time the walls contracted, a scream could be heard and I would be pushed out even further. Seriously where the hell am I? First I was swimming in some sort of weird liquid and next I was being pushed out. All this comes down to one explanation – I was in somebody’s womb and I am in the process of being born.
Can’t Mithra have reincarnated me as an adult so that I won’t have to experience the process of being shot out of a woman’s ass?
I wriggled and squirmed, struggling to get out. The more I struggled, the louder the screams got. It wasn’t long before I could see a bright light.

“Freedom!” I shouted in my mind.
I squirmed even more, making my way to towards the light as fast as I could. I was excited to get out of my mother’s stuffy womb.
Suddenly, the walls stopped contracting and relaxed. White light blinded my sensitive eyes and a howl of relief could be heard by my mother. I was finally born.
------------
When my eyes adjusted, I looked around my surroundings. I was in a damp cave. The cave walls were embedded with crystals that gave of a pale light, illuminating the place. There were about 5 wolf pups milling around me, some of them observed me with curious eyes while others sucked the teats of a large wolf next to us. The wolf was about 10 times our size. It had sliver fur that was tinged red at the ends. It was barely conscious and was breathing heavily. Strangely, I could feel a sense of attachment to it. 3 of the pups had sliver fur while 2 of them had grey fur. Their fur was stained with dried blood, signaling that they have been born not long ago. Wait, why am I surrounded by wolves?
Don’t tell me that…
I looked down at my body. Instead of pale peach colored skin, I had snow white fur that was tinged golden at the ends. Bloodstains could be seen on my fur. I looked down at my hands. Instead of seeing normal human hands, I saw paws instead. I turned around and saw that there was a tail sticking out of my butt. It must have been the appendage I felt before. My head felt heavy and I noticed I had a snout. Situated above my head were dog-like ears that twitched now and then.
…I was reborn as a wolf.
I remembered that Mithra said that which species I would be born as would all depend on my luck. I didn’t know whether I was lucky or not to be reborn as a wolf. Well better than being reborn as a goblin I guess.

My stomach growled again, urging me to eat in order to satiate my hunger. I rushed towards my mother’s teat, sucking the milk out of it. The milk was warm and creamy and easily slid down my throat. I sucked her teat for about a few minutes and stopped when my hunger was satiated. Satisfied, I let out a small burp.
Suddenly a screen flashed before my eyes.

You have received a message
Hello, Mithra here. Congratulations on being reborn! How does it feel like being reborn with your memories eh? Pretty disgusting right? I know that you want me to reincarnate you as adult. However, all creatures start out as a baby, no matter beast or human, so please understand. Please take note that the world you are currently residing in possesses mana, so superhuman feats (not that you are a human now) are possible. To check your status, please think of the word ‘Status’ in your mind. A panel should appear in front of you, showing your current status. It is invisible to others except you. Unless someone has an appraisal skill or you allow it, others cannot look at your status. To close it just think ‘Close status’ and the panel will disappear. This will be the only message I send to you. The rest is for you to figure out on you own.
Overcome your obstacles and become someone truly special.
Good luck!
Mithra

Think of the word ‘Status’ huh. I followed Mithra’s instructions. I didn’t know that Mithra was also a sun god. No wonder he was so flashy. To my surprise, another panel appeared before me.

I looked through my stats, feeling pleased about what I saw. My stats were similar to my siblings’ except for my unnaturally high intellect and wisdom. I also possessed way more skills than them. I guess this is due to Mithra’s blessing. A few of my skills were straightforward and need no explanation but I don’t get what the others do. I was also curious as to why I can’t I see my bloodline. I could see my new mother’s and siblings’ bloodline just fine but why can’t I see mine? Just when I was about to use [Appraisal] on the skills which uses I don’t know, I felt someone’s gaze on my back.
I turned around to see who was staring at me. I was greeted with my mother looking at me. Although her face was haggard from exhaustion, her eyes were wide in disbelief and her face was full of shock.
“Child,” she muttered.
‘What are you?”
PS: I dont know how to do the blue stat sceen thing. Can someone help me?
