《Another life》Chapter 1: My new family
Advertisement
2 weeks has passed since I was born in this world, and now I know few things about my family.
First about my family. My family is consist of 4 members 5 including me.
Excluding me, there’s my father, my mother, and it would seems I have an older sister and older brother as well.
My mother's name is Cecilia, she has blond hair, blue eyes. And she's in her early to 30’s I think. Since I was born she’s the one who most of the time take care of me, probably since I'm a newborn baby, and she's the mother.
“Mom, let me carry him!”
“Okay, okay. You don't have to shout you know.”
The one who ask her to do that is my sister Cecilica. She's about 5 years old and has Blond hair, green eyes and looks just like my mother like my mother's. Quite the irony, her name is similar and she's like a miniature version of mom exclude the eyes.
“I'm home.”
“Ahh dad! Welcome home” (Cecilica)
“Welcome home dear.” (Cecilia)
The person who just enter the house and said “I'm home” is my father Ferlike. He's a man who has the same age as my mother. He has a brown hair,and green eyes.
“Thanks, where's Lyle?”(Ferlike)
“He’s still in his room.”(Cecilia)
“I see.”(Ferlike)
The person dad just ask is my older brother Lyle. He's 6 years old so he's the oldest among us. I haven't seen him as much as my mother, and my sister but I did met him once. He has a blond hair like my mother’s and green eyes like my father's.
“How's today's work dear” (Cecilia)
“Awful! The monsters keep coming and eating the crops, and because of that we have to import more foods so that the people won't starve.”(Ferlike)
“And the other nobles?” (Cecilia)
“Most of them are thinking for themselves, and the one who actually care are the low ranked nobles like me. I can't refute them either, being a noble is sure such a pain.”
Right, I forgot to mention that my family is a noble. Although I said noble it's only a low one and the house I lived in is not that big compare to the other nobles.
Well ignoring that, my dad was originally a soldier and the reason that my dad was granted this title is because of his achievements.

Being noble is good and all, but since my father was originally a soldier who only knows how to fight he don't have any knowledge on politics and stuff.
“Hey ley me carry Allen.”(Ferlike)
“Sure.” (Cecilia)
Right forgot about this too in this world my name is Allen. And since my family's name is Graywark, my name is Allen Graywark. Rings a nice tune doesn't it?
She handed me to dad, and I'm now carried in his arms.
“Grow a little haven't you?”(Ferlike)
“No fair! Mom you said that I can carry him!”(Cecilica)
“Let your dad carry him, after all he hasn't hold him since he was born.”(Cecilia)
Cecilica then frown at her answer, and went back to her room, and since the drowsy feeling came back again I just sleep while being carried by my father.
Another week has passed, and right now I'm sitting in my mother's lap while being told a story with Cecilica beside her.
The story's about your old average hero tale. The hero who came from somewhere, protect the humans and fight the demons and eventually defeat the demon lords.
While Cecilica hear it with excitement, I'm struggling with the boredom that I felt while hearing the story. After all in my previous world I have heard this story more than a hundred times.
Closing the book, and finished telling the story, Cecilica grab her dress.
“Mom, could you show me magic again!?”(Cecilica)
‘Eh? Magic? She's not joking is she? Even after 2 weeks i haven't heard that there's magic in here. Oh who am I kidding of course I won't hear it, I'm a baby! There's no reason for them to tell me about it.’
Placing the book on the table, she pat Cecilica’s head and told her to stop and be quiet.
She chanted something and I can sense that something is gathering on her palm as she chant.
Then a while later, the things on her palm become a ball of light and is now hovering on her hand.
‘So there's really magic in here! Awesome! After this I am so going to try it.’
A minute later, the ball of light disappear.
“Do it again! Do it again!”(Cecilica)
‘Yeah,yeah do it again!’
“Maybe later, it's time for us to have lunch you. Now go on to the table I'll be with you soon.”(Cecilia)

“Okay!”(Cecilica)
Cecilica then left the room, and mom carry me to bed after putting the book to the shelf. With a kiss on the forehead she left the room.
‘Now then time to try some magic!’
Unable to contain my excitement, I let out a small voice while waving my hand in the air. Out of embarrassment I immediately put my hands down, stop talking, and see if there's anybody near.
‘Phew good thing no one was there, otherwise it'll be embarrassing. Alright then, maybe I should try casting something small.’
Thinking of a magic to use, I decided to cast what mom just casted earlier.
‘Let's see if what the books (in my old life) is correct then all I need to do is imagine,control it, and cast it. Since I can't speak I'll just do it chantlessly.’
I imagine a ball of light like the one I saw earlier, then focused the mana on to my hand (somehow) ,and try to shape it into a form of a ball and..
‘Nothing huh? No matter I'll just do it until I get it right!’
I try it again, again, and again. I try it and failed so many times that I stop counting after the 12th, okay maybe not that much.
You might be wandering why am I not sleepy yet, well maybe that's because my passion for learning magic overcome my feeling of drowsiness.
Well either that, or the fact that I slept through the story which mother told me in the middle of it and wake up when it ends.
And at the 20tg attempt, i think. I finally did it! I finally create a ball of light at the size of my palm.
‘Now that I know I can use magic, it's time for me to try something.’
I've once read in a book that the reason the MC able to create a useful/powerful magic is because the MC has the proper imagination, control, and the concept behind it.
And I thought ‘If the things I learn from those books are correct then I should be able to create one.’ So with that I try to make one.
The magic I'm about to use is the ability to control objects with my mind, in short. So with one of the books as the target I try to use it.
I imagine the book move, use the mana around there and try to control it and I did it, one problem. It only move a little.
‘Guess I should practice my control huh?’
So with that in mind I practice my magics at every chance I get.
A week later
It's been a month since I was born in this world, and it's been a week since I've known that magic exist in here.
Over the past week I've practice my magic at every chance I get, not forgetting to eat, and sleep when the time comes.
The result of a week of practice is starting to show itself. Before I can only move the book a little with Telekinesis. But after a week I've now able to make it levitate, only for a little though.
But I can say that my mana pool, power and of course my magic control has increase.
Well that's enough about my magic evaluation, now it's the time to discuss about my family… Again.
Cecilica has been visiting me less, and lesser in each and everyday. She probably need to do some studying. And maybe learn some magic since she looked so excited when she talks about about magic.
Mom also been visiting me lesser, the reason for that is because she accompany Cecilica on her studies. But in the little spare time she has she visit me, and reading me books.
Although it's a little boring, but it's the though that counts right?
Lyle also start to visit me, though he only glance at me for a while and leave without talking to me. I guess he's pretty shy.
In contrast to the other members, dad is the one who visit me more often. From the looks of it he had nothing to do since he always leave the stuffs other than fighting to mom.
While he visit me, he always talks about his past, what happen today,and the plans for the days to come. Believe it or not, it's more interesting than I thought it would be. I personally like the story of how mom and dad first met, well that's another tale for another day.
And beside those activities there's actually nothing of importance that happened in here. Well either that, or I'm not aware of one.
So to pass the days I repeatedly eat, sleep, and train each and everyday when no one is around (except for the eating part.).
