Darkness, the only thing i can see is endless darkenss.
The feeling of floating in an empty, dark space yet oddly comfortable and warm.
I can feel a pull, a movement as if the space around me is moving somewhere. Guiding me towards a single point.
*murmurs*
*murmurs*
I can hear sounds near me, sounds growing louder as i drift along in this space.
*plop*
'Huh?'
Everything just got cold all of a sudden.
"Jack look! Your son is finally here! Come help hold him while i tend to your wife."
I slowly open my eyes, adjusting to the bright environment and then see the scene around me.
Lying on my back, being held by a gruff brown haired middle aged man. An old woman cleaning the blood off her hands with a floating ball of water and an exhasted beautiful blonde women lying in a nearby bed.
The room was small, with only a bed in the middle of the room with a small table beside it.
'I can't believe what is happening right now. Last i remember, i was walking home with my groceries after a long day of work. I was crossing the street and then…well i guess i was visited by the four wheeled deity'
My name was james in my past life. A regular office worker in his mid-twenties. I lived a pretty content life, with a girlfriend, supportive family and not that much stress.
Focusing my eyes on the floating ball of water in the hands of the old woman; 'well i suppose reincarnating to a world with some kind if magical abilities isn't all that bad. I will miss everyone back home though, especially my girlfriend of 4 years'
Jack, my new father, walked over to the woman lying in bed when suddenly…
*BOOM*
The door of the room exploded and the body of an old man tumbled to the base of the bed.
"*cough* *cough* sorry son, i tried to hold them back but the demons this time are at least perfected stage of Foundation Establishment. Hurry, take your son and wife and run West! 2 days walk and you'll find the Drifting Cloud sect's mountain gates. Give them this token and ask for Decon Faldon."
The old man, took out a wooden carving the size of a palm and stuffed it into Jack's free hand.
"Dad no! Come with us, we can all make it there together if we sneak away!"
"It's too late Jack, the demons have already tasted my blood, they'll be able to track me wherever i go and we won't be able to outrun…"
Just then, the room's ceiling and roof was ripped off.
Standing in the sky were 7 red skinned humanoid beings with black tattoos covering their bodies and 2 horns adorning their heads.
"Hehehe, so this is where you ended up. No more hiding, i heard what you said and no one here is leaving alive!"
The demon in the very center that just spoke raised his hands and a bright fireball materialized above it's head.
The fireball continued to increase in size, slowly turning from bright yellow to deep red.
"Damnit! They are capable of flight, they've reached Core Formation realm!"
Jack seing this scene said with deep sorrow.
Jack was only in the early Foundation Establishment realm while his father was at the perfected Foundation Establishment, merely a step away from Core Formation.
The old woman was only in the late Mana Gathering realm while his wife was also at early Foundation Establishment.
Even if they all banded together, they had no hope of fighting against 7 Core Formation realm demons.
'What the hell!! I just get reincarnated, i just start my new life and then die right after being born!!!'
James' mind raced, his emotions fluctuating from anger to sadness to horror. No matter what, he was only an infant. He had no way to get out of this situation and had to pray to all the gods he could remember that he would make it out of this alive.
As soon as James was about to give up hope, the one thing that he'd nearly forgotten about from reading stories in his past, finally showed it's beautiful golden letters.
*Ding*
System binding complete…
