Chapter 10 - Chapter 10: Leaving Home

NOVA POV

I was brought to conciseness by a blinding light penetranting my eyelids.... forcing me to groan...

I peak through my fingers at my surroundings....

...once my eyes adjusted a bit i can see the light above me shown through the gaps in the vibrant trees around me...

... the sky above was a blue sky with a big blue sun with a smaller yellow sun not far from it but shining more brightly than it's bigger companion....

...turning my attention to the trees I see above me different shades of green and brilliantly colored flowers growing on and around the different trees that I could not make out...

standing up I continue looking around and see than I am in a vast beautiful forest with a lake shining blindingly not far off..

..as I was observing the lake an excruciating headache assaulted me..

the pain lasted for a good minute before subsiding and I was able to examine the memories flooding by brain..

.....I had dead...

..but I was given a second chance..

..processing my last memories a complicated expression appeared on my face...

...I don't know how to feel able ceris...

..true she is beautiful....but I find it hard to believe a being that strong would fall for me..

" ..... "

..that being also said I don't have to worry about that now...

...what does matter now is..

".....system?.."

..a dark purple with golden accents loading screen appeared before my eyes..

[loading....]

[11.7%]

[37.2%]

[63.9%]

[84.5%]

[100%]

..the loading screen disappeared followd by a new prompt..

[Welcome host]

[say status to view character sheet]

hhhmmmm.....

....I ponder as I don't hear a voice or anything.... just the screen changing..

..while I know I choose two egoless systems to begin with....I kinda held hope that my system may have some degree of sentience.....

....but it didn't seem like it...

...or maybe this was a good thing....

...some of those sentience systems I remember from my last life still sents a chill down my spine...

" status " I say

..the screen changed to show all of my stats and skills....

...showing me all I can do and what I saw surprised me...

---------------------------------

Abandoned Trap system?..

I can tell that it took the other two systems and made them basic functions in within it..

...since I could understand the functions of my two chosen system I had no need to look further at them....

...what had me afraid to look further was the trap enhance tab..

..it wasn't difficult to understand....by context it would likely enhance my looks...

....but that itself was a scary thought...

..I'm a guy again in this world.....and to be a trap from here...

..my first thought that was it was basically asking to have same dangers or even more than my first life...

I need to be cautious of everything in order for my 2nd life to not repeat the first..

I see that I don't have a shop function or anything else...

..so all I can get comes from others or missions...

..that inventory is small but it can be upgraded so no worries for now..

I also see the hidden background tab under my race so I go to it...to get a better understanding of my situation....

...and to see if I can get some information on this world as I don't know sh$t about it...

-------------------------

[ Hidden Background ]

{ Description: you are the missing unknown prince of the great dark elf kingdom Darazen and the spirit race

The the former queen wanting to give birth to you in secret secluded herself telling no one about her pregnancy(as to not tip off her enemies within the kingdom) other than her mate the queen of the spirit race. But right after giving birth she was attacked and forced to flee. With what little strength she had to used her magic to shadow travel to this distant forest. while she survived the queen was still fatally wounded. she didn't know who attacked her but with her now on the verge of death she didn't believe it safe for you to go to your other mother especially after seeing you are the legendary male born to bring a new era to the world. so she spent

what little time she had left with you in this forest, raising you to be able to fend for yourself while not telling you about your background. she has been gone for 6 years now and you have buried her in a grave near the house you both lived in. In the meantime the dark elf kingdom suffered backlash from other kingdoms and nations over the missing queen and has gone through uprisings eventually replacing the regent and establishing a new dark elf nation of Dartheia.

while may side with the new kingdom there are countless more who have heard rumors of the reasons why the former queen went into hiding and are searching for either her or her mysterious child. your mother from the spirit race has desperately trying to find any clue as to the whereabouts of her missing mate and child but not turned up any clue leaving her distraught. ]

---------------------------

.....well that's explicit...

..honestly didn't think it would spell out with that much detail on my background..

...and apparently I have two mothers ....

....well...

....had...

...I would think one was a futa...

...and with what ceris said about the different genders...

..the one who was full female was my dark elf mother...

....who is gone...

....and I buried her near the house that we shared somewhere around here...

...yea....

....thinking about it I can remember the way back to the house....

..my futa mother must be the Spirit queen...

..and she has been looking for us for a long time..

.....things to take care of later...

..as for now...

...I got a decent understanding of why I'm here in this forest...and of my current situation...

I stand still taking in my surroundings...

....even though they are not necessarily a new view to me...

I'm seeing everything in a new light now that I reincarnated...

I let my body instinctively lead me the way home

...now that I assimilated more memories...

...I now know why i was laying down in the middle of the forest...

..apparently that was the favorite spot of me and my mother when she was still alive.....

...and laying down there let me feel like I was close to her....

....reliving memories of good times with her...

...a tear unconsciously roll down my cheek as I think about her....

...even though I can say I technically never knew her....

..my memories.....let me experience her love and care first hand..

..and how devastated I was when she died...

I still remember how I stayed with her body for days unable to let her go...

..and when I finally did....

...how I dug the grave with my bare hands....

..crying the whole time...

..my feet takes me closer to the lake and I can see it was even more breath taking than I originally thought...

..the water was crystal clear and I can see different kinds of aquatic life that would leave others stunned on the spot...

...but....

...as this was not new....I calmly walk down a beaten path as I draw nearer to the lake...

..from there it was just a short walk until I got to a little clearing and I take in the house before me...

...it wouldn't win any awards....

...but it was functional and gave off a homely vibe..

...well at least it did....

....staying with my mother by ourselves for so long....

...in this house....

...there was memories of her everywhere...

I couldn't take it anymore.....

...the only reason I stayed for as long as I did after her death was because of a promise I made to her....

..that I wouldn't leave the safety of the forest until I was at least 18 years old...

..today just so happened to be by birthday....

...and I had gone to that spot....one last time before I left...

I cross to the other side of what I guess you can call the front yard and came to a garden adorned with beautiful art and flowers...

The centerpiece of the garden was a marble stone engraved with writing.

I talk the little path I've woven over time and come to the marker...

HERE LIES MY MOTHER

REPHILIA DARAZEN

SHE WAS THE BEST MOTHER I COULD

HAVE DREAMED OF

I PRAY THAT NATURE LOVE AND CHERISH YOU WHO HAVE DONE SO

MUCH FOR AN UNWORTHY SON

MAY NATURE WRAP YOU IN ITS WARM

IMBRACE

- NOVA

I kneel down fully crying now as I make one final prayer....

.....for nature to watch over her resting place..

...but also ask her for her protection and blessings in my departure of the place I call home.....but cannot stand being in another minute...

..after a while I open my eyes and wipe the tears away...

...reading the marker one last time I stand and walk towards the house...

..as I walk in I'm assault by bitter sweet memories..

It takes everything in me to walk to my room and grab the bag I already packed...

..making sure I had everything I needed...including a storage ring that my mother left me before her death...

..it was filled with money and documents that I never looked over.....but can see now was papers proving my lineage...

...I had other stuff of course like more cloths and daily essentials...

I had would put It in my inventory as the rings space is limited....

...and even though the ring is small I still equipped it as the function of the ring was to store things not be stored itself...

I then put on a pair of gloves as I don't want people to notice the ring...

..the bag was meant to throw people off thinking that it was all my belongings.

I practically rush back outside the house making sure to lock the door and cast a magic designed to obscure and redirect people from here...

..taking one more long look at the house....

....the garden....

...and the surrounding forest...

..my eyes waters up again....

....but I force it back down and begin walking down the path I was forbidden long ago from fully walking down as it lead away from our little bubble of safety.....

....out into the harsh and cruel world...

..as I walk I can't help but think....

....while yes it's sad leaving home....

...this is also my beginning....

I don't have to train to control my magic as I been learned all I could from my mother and she left books for me to read...

I also had absolutely nothing to do all this time in the forest but train my powers...

I don't know the actual standards of this world....

...but I believe I can protect myself...

...hopefully...

...while I wouldn't call myself a master....

....I do have a decent understanding and can manipulate my magic freely...

....plus the addition of my life skills left me sure that i wouldn't die easily....

....so with a bitter smile....

....but a noticeable spring in my step...

I continue forward....

....away from safety....

...and into the unknown...
