Chapter 3 New Life (2)

Three months passed, and Lith could now read very well. He couldn’t write yet because of a lack of muscle control, but he could read very well. After understanding how to read, he went over to the bookshelf again with his mother’s help and picked up books about general knowledge. Lith understood that he was in a world of magic. The fantasy world that he used to read about in novels, watch in anime, and fantasize about being in. He was now in the world that he dreamed to be. How he got here, what was the cause of reincarnation, he didn’t care about this useless stuff. He had come to terms with the fact that he had died once and was now reincarnated. He was a little sad, considering that his family would be worried about him, but nothing could be done now. So he came to terms with his new life. He accepted the fact that he now had a loving and caring family. His family is his mother and sister. Where was his father, and why wasn’t he here were all useless things that he didn’t bother to think much about. His current thoughts were based on one thing. He needs to learn magic! Yes, he needs to. He’d read a lot about how pitiful you are if you aren’t in power, so his only goal was to learn magic and get stronger as fast as he could so that he could protect his mother and sister, to whom he considers family. The world he was in could only be described in one word. HUGE! This world was very huge, humungous,s you can say. There are nine continents in this world. Each continent is ten times the size of Earth. There are various types of races, too, but the dominant ones are the Demons, Angels, Humans, Vampires, Werewolves, Elves, Dragons, and Witches. Each race lived on one continent, and the other races, which were present, lived on the continents they saw and were suitable for them. For example, skeletons, specters, ghouls, fallen angels, et, all lived in the demon continent along with the demons. Druids, trolls, or, cs and goblins lived along with the Elves in the Elven continent. The best part about this world was that people here could resurrect! Yes, RESURRECT! You could get revived here if you died, and this was very crazy to Lith or to anyone who was from a world where this wasn’t natural. There is a nine-floor hell and a 666-floor abyss in the demon continent, managed by the demons. There’s also a heaven in the angel continent. Heaven and hell are places where the respective overlords of the races live. There isn’t much significance to it. These overlords and their subordinates resurrect in these places after their death. They are near immortals for it. All the races have their places. It doesn’t matter even if they don’t, because they can gather ingredients and make resurrection phylacteries of their own and place them in a safe place. The ingredients for such things weren’t very expensive, but they weren’t cheap either. The currency here was very simple. It was divided into bronze, silver, gold, and amethyst coins. One amethyst equaled one hundred gold coins. One gold coin equaled one hundred silver coins, and finally, one silver coin equaled one hundred bronze coins. Very simple The thing that blew my mind the most about this place was that it was very advanced technologically. A fantasy world that is technologically developed? Who would’ve thought that! My mother didn’t even introduce me to one single piece of technology. Ah, right, I forgot I was busy with her, and she was busy loving me. So maybe she forgot, I think. Yeah, makes sense. So anyway, this place, or I mean this world, is very developed despite it being a magical world and so huge and with various races. By technically develop, I meant that there were mobile phone-like devices to communicate with others. The Internet is a great way to access and connect to the world. There were TV shows, movies, and novels! Social networking was common here, unlike what I read in novels before. I thought magical worlds do not care about such stuff because you know magic could solve everything. Anyway, by mobile phone-like devices I meant was they do not work in the same way as Earth ones. They have magic embedded. So, leaving aside these minor issues, the technology is the same as Earth here, with the involvement of magic. Ah, finally, I can be a lazy bum here and watch anime sitting like a dead log on the couch like the rest of the fellow cultured men, cough, cough, I mean, get stronger and protect my family. Phew, what am I even thinking? Oh, I forgot to mention that I learnt all of these in the boo, ks though. I have yet to come across them. I'll eventually anyway. I do not know the realms, it isn’t written here, I do not even know the race I am from, I think I need to ask my mother. Oh yes, there are nine continents and only eight main races that occupy one continent each, so what about the remaining one? That continent is in the middle of this world, and it is called the neutral continent, which is controlled jointly by the main eight races. It is a safe zone, a place for trade, commerce, education, and recreation for all the races. There isn’t any war happening here, fights are a common occurrence, and discrimination is inevitable. The stronger fist rule applies everywhere in this world, as I thought. So to not get bullied, I need to be strong. I closed the book and looked around, and found my mother staring at me intently. I didn’t even know how long I was reading and how long she was looking at me like that. But looking at her warm gaze, I can tell she was enjoying looking at me reading. “Done reading, baby?” She asked, to which I nodded, and she smiled and hugged me. I didn’t reply to her and simply hugged her and snuggled my winto in her big breasts. She too didn’t think much and hugged me back and picked me up and carried me to the bed and lay me down and she got laid beside me. “All this hard work must’ve made you hungry, right?” She smiled and looked at me with a loving gaze. I simply removed one of her boob and started sucking on her nipple while fondling the other one from which milk spurted out a little and landed on my face. “Being hasty, are we? Don’t worry, Mamama won’t run away anywhere from you.” She replied the same way as before while rubbing my face clean with a cloth. After a while I let go of it and pinched a little hard her other nipple indicating I need the other boob. She understood and picked me up and rolled over to the other side. I suckled on it for a while and looked at her. Noticing my gaze, she looked at me with the same loving motherly look. I was momentarily at a loss after looking at her beautiful, motherly face and look but somehow managed to sort out the words I needed to say. “Mama. Go for a walk?” I said, pointing outside. “Hmm? You wanna go outside, dear?” She asked, confused, to which I simply nodded. “Do you not like to be here inside with mother by your side?” To which I shook my head, and she got confused again. Sigh, my mother doesn’t understand that time doesn’t work the same way for babies and adults. To her, it may seem like a moment, but for me, I’ve been cooped up here long enough. Looks like I need to explain it to her to the best of my abilities. “Walk, mama, Lith, and fu,” I said hoping not to use more grammatically correct sentences and freaking her out and dumbing it down to baby language. Hopefully, she understood what I meant by smiling brightly and saying, “Oh my baby, you want to walk with Mama outside and have fun with her?” To which I nodded. She got more excited than I and took me in her arms and dashed outside. She didn’t even close her robes. But it wasn’t the least of my concerns right now because the scene in front of me shocked me. My mother was holding me in her arms, and her robes were closed before I even realised, but what shocked me wasn’t her speed but the outside world. It was dark outside, very dark, and there was a silver moon in the night sky with a crimson hue. The vegetation was dark too, clearly indicating that it had adapted to the darkness here. I, for once, was at a loss for how my reaction should be. What race was I from? This was my reaction at first, considering humans do not live in such environments. So I looked at my mother and asked her, “MaMaa hat race?” She looked at me and said, smiling and said “What else, dear? You are my cute little Vampire.” And kissed me on my forehead. Vampire! I am a vampire now!
