Chapter 14: new world
On a rainy morning, the rain was falling heavily and the cold monsoon winds were blowing strongly, and in one of the houses that had raindrops covering its windows, there was a female about to give birth to her baby. When Naoto opened his eyes in extreme darkness as if nothing existed, he felt a feeling of nothingness creeping into him. However, a faint light appeared in front of him, attracting his attention. When he faced the light, his vision was blurry with sounds
He looked around him, and every word he tried to say sounded like crying, and with time the sounds became clearer
"Congratulations, he's a healthy boy."
At that time, the rain had stopped and was replaced by the warm sunlight. When Naoto tried to slowly open his eyes, it hurt him from the different colors around him, but with time he got used to it, and began to look at his small body that had just been born. Then he looked around to find an old woman. To some extent, she picked him up and gave him to another woman, but younger, who was supposed to be his mother, with her silky black hair and eyes sparkling like gold. Then he looked to the other side to see a young man with brown hair and black eyes, with a silly smile on his face. The man stared at him with his smile.
"Welcome to the world, baby."
He approached to carry Naoto in his mother's arms. He took Naoto and began to caress him gently. The man was wearing farming clothes, so it was clear that he was a peasant.
'I'm born again, and I seem to understand what they're saying, huh?'
When the father looked at the sky, the clouds had disappeared, and the rain had stopped and appeared in their place
Warm yellow sunbeam
The mother looked at her son sitting in his father's hands
"What are we going to call him?"
The mother said with a smile on her face as she sat in her bed
"The sun appeared after the rain when he was born, so what about the name Young? I hope my son's future will shine like the sun."
The father and mother smiled a warm smile on their faces, filled with tenderness
In the midst of this, Naoto was slowly and steadily recalling his previous memories, until a year of his life had passed
Most of Naoto's life, from the moment he was born, was eating, sleeping, and changing diapers
"It's hard to move my limbs, or even control anything really."
For Naoto Kan, all transition stories are the same, getting stronger and stronger until he rules the world, but Naoto didn't want to bother ruling anything. This was ridiculous. All stories have a hero who transitions and then becomes stronger, except for Subaru from Re Zero, so his life was torture.
Truly, moving to a world that he thought was fantasy was a worthy experience. Although he did not know whether he had moved to a world of magic and swords, or a world that contained only swords or something like that, this was a worthy experience, and just to be sure, he called the system with his mind.
'uni'
(Look at this cute little guy)
Naoto looked at Uni with mild anger
'Why didn't you appear last year?'
(You didn't call me, I thought you wanted to drink your mother's milk quietly)
'Anyway, show me my status'

Naoto sighed in his mind as he read his condition
'So my family's surname is Zhang, it sounds Chinese, anyway I think I'm back to zero, but am I imagining or have the required experience points increased!'
(This is because of this world, your body was previously born with several restrictions, but with the removal of these restrictions in this world, the experience required has been increased.
(
'So, wait, what does this feel like?'
Naoto felt a feeling between his legs, wet and hot, because of his young age he couldn't control it, he had peed in his diaper.
His mother noticed his wet diaper
"Oh baby, did you pee again?"
Naoto's face turned red, he had never suffered like this with his body before
When his mother started changing the diaper, Naoto would only make a sound to convince his mother that he was still young. What child does not cry if his diaper is dirty?
"I had returned"
At that time, the father entered his house, and the mother greeted him after changing the diaper and carried Naoto in front of his father
"welcome back"
The mother smiled while Naoto extended his hands towards his father with some moans, which the father understood as a sign of his desire to carry him, so he carried him.
"Do you want your father to carry you?"
"Ba...ba...bap"
As Naoto was trying his best to speak, Father noticed Naoto and realized that he was about to say his first word
"You are about to say your first word, come on, try it, say daddy."
The mother noticed the matter and came forward immediately
"Is Young'er going to say his first words, come on, say them, baby."
"Ba..baba"
After preparing his vocal cords for a year, Naoto spoke his first word
"Baba"
Father smiled proudly and kissed Naoto's forehead
"Yes, Young Er."
They all smiled before leaning in for a group hug
"I hope our son becomes a powerful Soul Master."
Those words struck Naoto's ears like a ringing bell
'Spirit master?' 'This sounds...familiar'
There were many novels that talked about soul masters, so he didn't know which one was in them now. If Naoto needed one thing right now, it was information.
Between daily events, he lived a simple and quiet life with his family, where he spent most of his time playing, sleeping, and eating, and he was slowly learning how to walk, talk, and interact with the outside world. The mother took complete care of Naoto.
Until two years passed and he became three years old.
Early in the morning, the father and son got up and had breakfast
"Do you have any plans for today?"
The father spoke while looking at his son while taking a bite of food
"I don't have"
Naoto answered in a calm and innocent voice
"How about you accompany me to the field?"
'Although I was planning to take a walk in the woods today.'
"Good"
Father and Naoto headed to the field, where the green trees and bright flowers filled the place with beauty
. It was sunny and warm, and the wind was blowing gently, making Naoto feel happy and content.
They arrived at the field and the father began to work. He just kept watching the place since he was still three years old, so he did not do much other than watching, even if a few children came in the village. They looked to be six years old, and they were led by an old man who seemed to be the elder of the village.
"Where are they going, dad?"
Naoto asked with innocent eyes while his father was reaping the crop
"They are going to the Spirit Hall in the middle of the village for the awakening ceremony."
"What is an awakening ceremony?" Naoto asked curiously.
"We live here on the Doulo Continent. Everyone is born with a martial spirit, which manifests itself in the awakening ceremony that is held once a year. If you are born with spiritual power, you can become a spirit master, which is the noblest profession in the entire continent."
The father answered in a calm and somewhat stern voice while he was still picking the crop with the sickle in his hand
When Naoto heard the name "Doulo Continent", the name of a novel of the same name rang in his mind
"Dad, where exactly is our village?"
"Ah, I remember we are in the southwest of the Sky Du Empire in Fassino Province and this is where we headed..."
Without finishing listening to his father's speech, Naoto's thoughts alone started, 'It is her without a doubt, I am in the novel Douluo Dalu.'
He smiled happily. This novel was famous and not so at the same time, and development here is faster, as training begins at the age of six.
'I'll need to get ready'
After Naoto and his father finished working, they saw the village elder running as if he was back in his prime, screaming
"We have become a Level 3 Soul Master, we will finally honor our ancestors."
Tears almost closed his eyes, this was because the village had not had a spirit master in five years
