《The Daily Life of Akashi Takabi (Draft I)》Chapter I: I've Been Reborn in Another World?
Advertisement
It’s dark all around me. Did I wake up in the middle of the night again…?
Haaa… it’s been happening far too often lately.
I haven’t slept well since the fire.
Well, a lot has changed about me since the fire…
I try to sit up, but fail to do so due to some sort of wall. It’s slippery, warm, and kinda soft. Actually, it’s really comfortable…
Is this some sort of dream? It’s gotta be.
It’s squishing me a bit.
I seem to be curled up a bit, and it feels like it’s trying to squeeze me out or something…
I move my hand up.
There’s an opening above me.
Hmm…
Well, I don’t see a problem with complying with it.
If it wants me out, I should probably head out before it resorts to something more forceful.
Even if it’s a dream, there’s no point in ending it. It’s a very interesting dream.
It starts pushing me out.
I pull my arm back in and place my head at the opening.
My head is spun to the side and then I’m shoved out further and further.
Hey wait! It’s really cold outside!
Aaaaah! It hurts it hurts it hurts! This is not a dream! I hurts too much!
The opening grows as wide as it can, before I’m pushed out.
I’m wrapped in something warm.
I squint my eyes open.
Aah! It’s bright! I really regret coming out…
My eyes shut immediately.
I hear a baby’s cries.
How annoying…
My senses are full of bad things right now. My eyes hurt from too much light, my skin feels like it’s freezing, and my ears are only hearing the cries of a baby!
It’s really loud, like it’s coming from right in front of me.
After that, I’m wrapped in something warm.

My face is left out though. It’s really cold…
The thing I’m wrapped in feels kinda silky.
Something hit’s my face. It hurts a little. It dries it though, which is better than the cold.
The crying is interrupted though, so that’s good at least.
“SXQncyAyIGFuZCBhIGhhbGYgeWVhcnMgdG8gZWFybHkgZm9yIG1lIHRvIGJlZ2luIG15IGJhY2tzdG9yeQ==” it’s a woman’s voice.
What gibberish is this? They’re completely foreign sounds and words.
“QnV0IEnigJlsbCBzdGFydCBub3cgYW55d2F5LiA= !!!!” another woman shouts
So loud…
I’m picked up and quickly rushed away.
The shouts turn distant.
“SG9wZWZ1bGx5LCB0aGF04oCZbGwgc2hvdyBteSBkZXRlcm1pbmF0aW9uIGVub3VnaC4=” a woman says “QXMgc3VjaCwgSSwgQ291bnQgQWthc2hpLCBodW1ibHkgcmVxdWVzdCB0byBqb2luIEhvbG9saXZlLg==”
I’m placed on a bed, and then the sounds of someone rushing off can be heard.
Soon after, there’s more footsteps.
There’s a few moments of pause.
“SSBob3BlIEkgY2FuIHByb3ZlIHRoYXQgSeKAmW0gd29ydGggdGhlIHRyb3VibGUu” a woman says
I’m picked up soon after, and held the same way you would hold a baby.
Hey, put me down. I’m a teenager, you know? Being carried like this is embarrassing.
The crying around me stops.
Well, at least that’s gone…
My head’s placed on something soft.
?
I open my eyes just a little, this time hiding my face behind my hands in order to block some of the light.
It’s her chest…
My face probably goes red.
My mind is racing.
I’ve never been this close to a woman that isn’t family before…
Wait, wait! I don’t know them! This isn’t okay!
Then I realize something.
Looking at my hand… it’s tiny. My hair that normally covers part of my vision is also missing…
I look at the woman.
Is she… my mother?
Have I been reborn or something? Isekai?
She’s really pretty, so I wouldn’t really mind it. Hopefully, I inherited her good looks.
Her golden locks, emerald eyes, and perfectly symmetrical face.
Wait no, I was…
I was just… uh, inside my mother’s womb, and I was moved. I don’t think anyone in their right mind would move a woman who had just given birth too much, so she’s probably not my mother.

That begs the question though- who is she?!
I squirm out of her arms and fall onto the bed. I don’t think I should be held like this by a stranger.
The woman sighs and pats my head.
Then she tucks me in.
Hmm… maybe she’s my aunt?
I don’t know…
The woman heads to the doorway, saying “SWYgSeKAmW0gbm90IGdvb2QgZW5vdWdoIHRob3VnaCw=” before leaving the room.
Alright, now what do I do…?
…
Uhh…
Now that whatever that was about is over, I suppose I should wait for my actual mother, right?
Hmm… right, so I’ve been isekaid, let’s see what perks I have, and if there’s a system or something.
I stare at the blanket in front of me.
“Appraisal! Activate Appraisal! Under the blessing of the goddess of Knowledge, I appraise thee!” I mumble while flailing my arms
…
My face heats up.
1, I’m a baby, and wouldn’t be able to activate it even if it’s a thing and I have it. My words are mumbled and unlear.
2, though… That last one sounded a little chuunibyou…
I hide my face under my blanket.
My mouth wobbles and tears start to form.
NONONONO!
That’ll be even more embarrassing!!
Haaa…haaa…haaa
Whew, I stopped myself.
“W-W-W” I start
I shut my mouth with my hands.
A “Wwwwwhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaa!” leaks through my fingers, which I can’t stop with my clumsy hands
…this is so embarrassing… Why is my body so hard to control!?!?
A young woman dressed in a maid outfit enters the room.
She has maple brown hair and large golden brown eyes. She’s adorable looking.
“SeKAmWxsIGltcHJvdmUgbXlzZWxmIHdoaWxlIGNvbnRpbnVpbmcgdG8gc2VuZCBpbiBhcHBsaWNhdGlvbnM= ?” she asks
This makes it even more embarrassing! Please go away!
She immediately heads out of the room, closing the door behind her.
Whew…
The longer something like that goes on, the worse.
I manage to stop my crying.
Better.
I need to get my body under control as soon as possible.
Especially my bladder and crying.
The bladder thing especially. It’ll be pure suffering before I can fix that…
Right, I should probably not do anything that can instigate either of those for now. I also got to figure out how to get to the bathroom as soon as possible, since I can’t walk right now.
I’m not sure I can even crawl at the moment.
A yawn comes out of my mouth.
Right, I think I’ll just head to sleep now though…
A baby needs plenty of sleep, after all.

And it's safe to say that he's a big fan of these stories, along with his best friend; Bakugo. Since the death of his mother, and disappearance of his father, Deku sees no reason why they shouldn't go check it out. What will they find as the explore the haunted halls of UA? Monsters? Magic? A curse in which they can't escape? It's perfectly possible. At least, that's what they think. ......and they just might be right. (I've had this idea for a while now, and I think it's cool! FYI though, some chapters won't have a plot and will mainly be filler, but they're still good! Also none of the backgrounds are mine, and neither are the characters. This is a parody of the show My Hero Academia)
