System?...well this is new

Chapter 3 –system?...well this is new.
When I arrived at the table, Mother was already waiting for me. “Good evening, Mother and Brother,” I greeted them after approaching.

Now, big brother has grown to be 7-8 years old if we compare it to children on Earth.

However, years here are longer, so he is now 4.5 years old (FOR READERS’ CONVENIENCE, I AM TAKING AGE AND TIMELINE IN TERMS OF YEARS).

“Oh, my baby Rupel, are you back? Come sit on Mama’s lap,” Rupel’s mother said lovingly.
Even though he is 2 years old, his mother likes to carry him around and sometimes tries to breastfeed him.

After several rejections from him, she decided not to feed him anymore, saying, “Our Mama’s boy has grown up.”
And after he was able to walk and speak properly, Mother starts to organize a meeting in the evening once in a while to discuss various topics, like what I want to eat and wear.

Surprisingly, attire and foods were very similar to that of Earth.
Even though I am slowly losing my past life memories, I can still remember some dishes that I used to like. It is also because of my past life experience that I suggested some delicacies to our chefs, and they turned out great.

Whenever I tried to make or suggest something, they always listened closely and tried their best to execute it. It was also shocking that they never questioned me about how I know these things; even my mother didn’t ask me.

I thought I would discuss my past life with both mother and father, but I didn’t get any chance to do that.

“Maybe they are purposefully avoiding me,” I thought.

As always, my mother asked me about my daily life and how I was doing. “I am bored and want to do something,” I said.
This left both my mother and brother laughing.


“Why are you bored, Rupel? When Vator was your age, all he did was make noises and create troubles all around the mansion.
But you always behave well and try to make something new,” my mother said with a surprised face.

When Vator heard that his mother mentioned his past, he stood up with a red face, saying, “Why do you always give him my example?” Once again, the whole room was laughing.

But I wanted to say, ‘because I’ve reincarnated,’ but I can’t.
Soon, the table got filled with various snacks, and after looking at all the pastries in front of me, I can’t resist.
‘Our mama boy will go under awakening in a few days, so don’t worry; you’ll be very busy after that,’ she said after stuffing a pastry into her mouth.

‘Oh yeah, I forgot about that.’ Sometime ago, my father sent me a letter saying, ‘after a few days, you will go awakening in an upcoming event, so be ready.’

After getting the letter, I was quite excited and nervous at the same time. Since judging from the name, it’ll be some kind of ability awakening, but I was also nervous since I didn’t know
what kind of ability I would awaken.



“What kind of awakening is this, Mother?” I asked curiously, with big eyes and a cute face.
Seeing my face, Mother kissed me first, then she said, “How would I know?”

“Didn’t you go through awakening?” I said angrily.

“Hmm… I forgot about that.”

“…”

“…”

I gave up after hearing. I can’t ask maids since they are not allowed to talk about it.
The worst part is that my brother and I are going through it at the same time.

When I asked the reason for this, Mother said, “Well, it will not matter even if you awaken just a moment after you’re born since you can’t practice anything until you complete your 5th birthday.”
And I never get to know why this was.

“If you are so concerned about it, you can ask when your sister arrives.”

“Huh?.. Sister! How come I never knew about it?”

After seeing my confused face, mother cleared her throat. “Ahem.. she is your cousin. Your grandfather has 3 children, and your father is the youngest one. Your cousin is the child of your middle uncle.”
Well, considering my age, I have no way to know that, but mentally, I am not a 2-year-old child. This is why I said abruptly, which also caught my mother off-guard.

I purposefully changed the topic and started talking to my brother about whether he was excited or not. But it seemed like he was quite nervous and not talking too much.

In the end, I returned to my room after spending some more time.
.
.
Some time has passed after his talk with his mother.
The mansion is getting quite busy, and he has been advised not to go outside for some time.

Since today is the day I’ll undergo awakening along with his brother, for some reason, I am in the same room as my brother.

My brother is walking around the room nervously. On normal days, he is quite childish and tries to run away from his studies, but now he is running like a headless chicken.

“Heh, childish behaviour,” I smirk after saying that.

“Look who is talking.” It was a quick response from his mother as she enters my room.

I was dumbfounded after seeing my mother’s face. Honestly, I have no words to counter.
It was an instant regret. After all, he himself is a child.

‘Vator, Rupel, come here. All the preparations are done; we must go to your father.’ ‘Yes, mother,’ Vator and I said nervously.

“But we are not ready yet. We are still naked mother”

Yes we both were naked. It wasn’t anything weird since we both have one piece of clothing covering our genitals.

“ No you don’t need to wear anything since this ceremony is done without any clothing”.

‘ didn’t she said some time ago that she didn’t know anything about this, damnit I was fooled’.

After that, Mother carried me, but my brother was walking on his own.
I must say, after seeing my brother’s face, it kind of reminded me of my exam result days.

After walking for some time, we reached a room where I wasn’t told to go alone, and I must take either my mother or father to go with me.
“No matter what, you must stick with me and don’t respond to anyone, no matter what," she said with a serious tone.

““Yes,””, we both said in unison.


After hearing that, I was also very nervous for the first time.
After that, she takes out a token and inserts it in the place of keys.

What I saw was a totally different world than the one I was living in.
It was barren, to be exact. There were no trees, the sun was bright red, but there was no sky, no air—it was a lifeless planet.

I was genuinely scared; since there was no air, I thought I would suffocate, but it was a false alarm since I was functioning normally.
“Where are we, mother?” I said nervously.

“You’ll get all your answers in a moment,” she said with a smiley face.
After saying that word, she made a gesture with her hand, and we started levitating and moving at a fast speed simultaneously.
There was nothing to see, even after looking all around, so I just focused on where we were heading.


After some time, we reached a rather crowded place. I was very surprised after seeing that because the entirety of the place was barren, and I thought they couldn’t be native to this planet.


As we were passing through the crowd, I saw some of them calling me, and some of them were trying to meet us, but there was an invisible barrier that cut off both their movements and their voices.

I once again asked why, but the answer was the same.

After some time, I saw my father along with five other human-like bodies.
They had human-like bodies, but there were some obvious differences. Some of them were much taller and sturdier, some had big heads, some had tails, and so on.
However, their female counterparts were all normal humans.

It was a circular arrangement of chairs where they were seated, and there was a huge pool of some sort of liquid in the middle.

As I approached, there was a speaker continuously speaking on a stage-like structure. I couldn’t hear them because the speaker was inside that invisible barrier.
“There you go, now you’ll go to your father,” she put me down and told both of us. Then she sat down just opposite to my father’s seat.

We both proceeded to meet our father.
“Where are we, Father?” I asked with a nervous look.
Father looked at both of us and then said, “We are on a newly born plane.”
I still looked confused, but Father wasn’t finished yet, so I quietly waited for his next words.
“Every once in a while, we create a new plane to inhabit more people in it. It requires an enormous amount of energy, but not all energy gets converted into the plane itself. This energy is raw and only requires your thoughts to manifest it.”

That sounds like, ‘I can make a gold finger for myself.’


“The crowd you saw outside are parents awaiting their children’s arrival after awakening”.

To conduct these awakenings, we need to create a space where this energy can gather and take different forms. It must not be in this plane; that’s why you’ll see a barrier separating them from interfering,” the father takes a pause before continuing.


“Before you go in,” as he takes out something from thin air and inserts it into both of our bodies. As soon as it enters my body, I hear a sound.
DING.
Author note-It was quite headache to write this part I have to change many times because I didn’t like it. It’s my first time to write a novel so it’s quite challenging to come up with new ideas and its consequences since I can’t fill anything with it. Anyway after this chapter new chapter might take some time since I have exams. I have storyline for next 4 chapters I just have to narrate it.
