This world is dangerous. King want to kill me, a baby. I was fortunate that old man and queen voted against it.
Howeverright now everything seems well and good except the face of a man inmyview.
His face is not scary but still hisall timeforward looking eyes and serious face makes me feel like I am going to be killed any movement if I make even a tiny bit sound so, I am making suremylips are sealed all the time.
''Ow''
It felt likeourcarriage went through a speed breaker and driver didn''t decrease the speed. This already suspension less carriage was giving pain all overmytiny body and now this speed breaker. EitherthisgeneralispoororthiscarriagedriverIsrude.
''Ohgod!''
It wasn''t a speedbreaker, it was a woman. A woman is rammed by our carriage and this ruthless man does not even bat an eyelid to that woman. He just ordered to remove the crowd and move on.Previously, he felt grateful to old man and, queen but now it felt like it was all an act.
''they conspired against me. Shit!''
He didn''twantedto go through the same kind of hell twice.
While he wasfellingdepressed, his eyes wereplayingtheirown trick. Even though he didn''twanted,his eyelids were still trying to closethemselvesas if someone was intentionally trying to force shut his eyes. He tried his best but still, in the end, his eyes closedand,consciousnessdimmingwith everypassingmoment and before he could realize he was in deep sleep.
In his sleep, he saw a dream. The dream which feltas if it was true.
"Whoa!did I came back,"said John after looking around him. It was an empty black spacelike the previous time.
"No," a lady voice came from behindhim before he could think anyfurtherabout hissituation.
John heard a sound of a woman behind him. He turned to look at the source of that unfamiliar sound.
He saw a womanwith white hair, wearing white robe. Her voice was somehow echoing in that empty space.
"Find demon king and make heryour ally."
"Wait what?"
Before John could process her words, she vanished,leavinghimalone in the darkness,however that doesn''t last for long. Humans need to blink and that is their involuntary reflex so even John has to blink his eyes so he closed his eyes but when he opened it once again it wasn''t the same dark empty space. It was filled withcolorsas ifaurora seen inAntarcticand,Withnext blink itchangedto quite scene with a view of a woman''s face.
She was dressed inmaidkind ofoutfitabout John wasn''t muchknowledgeableaboutand was holdinghimin her arms and trying to speak with him in baby like voice.He assumed she must be nanny.
“baby want to drinkmealk. Open your mouthaaaaayumyumyum.”
John saw childishbehaviorofnanny. She was holding a milk bottle and flying it like a rocket whose target was John’s mouth. He wanted to saythat he was a baby and no matter how much she’ll speak He won’t know he has to open his mouth but John could understand her intention and knewwhat she wanted so instead of ignoring her, he openedhis mouth wide. John could see surprise onnanny''sface. Now he realized, he shouldn’t have opened his mouth but nownoresult would come over thinking about spilled milk. He started to think about time when he used to do same thing with his daughter however she was a bit crying type but still he liked her. On the second note he thought what is the big deal if hedon’tact like a babyafterall,why should he act like one when he know he could do more.
He thought about it for long time and he couldn’t think of any possible problem that could come from it so he decidednot to act like a baby and hint her that he can understand everything. By this time milk also finished and the nanny took the milk bottle out of his mouth and placed it on table. In meantime John took the cloth lying on his side and checked if it was clean, and after checkingabit,hewiped his mouth to remove any spilled milk around his mouth.
‘Hey don’t look surprised again’
Nanny was once again surprised withhisactions. She stared at baby intently and baby also stared at her. They stared each other for long time. After a while nanny put the baby on cradle and ran outside.
John was totally confused
‘I thought it would take more than that.’
nanny didn''tcameback for long time.In meantime John started thinking about what the goddess said. To make demon king his ally and even if she was saying king, the king was actually queen becausegodesssaid ''make her you ally'' ,''HER''.Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
''I don''t thinkgoddesswould makegrammaticalmistake''
And also during his college time few of his friends were in this type ofdemonking and hero novel and they were mostly killing demon king in the end and living happily after. Why did I have to make friend withher....or him.
''Should I feel regret for not readingthose novel? Well anyways I don''t think hero life will be hardafterallI am a hero''
And after sorting out his feeling about being hero.Johnthought of taking a nap once again. He was feeling dizzy.
''Child''s mind is not meant for thinking Ibelieveand what''s this text in front of my eyes''
Johnwaved his hand around the text and rubbed his eyes but it was still there. Now that hethinksabout it herealizesthat it was there from starting but he was toofocused on all the drama going around him that he doesn''t realized it and now that he had peace of mind henoticethat text however before he could focus and think more about it, a crisis came in.
John needs to go to washroom.
"#@*#@*#@*"
John tried to call nanny but he wasn''t able to speak his voicewasn''t developed and himself he couldn''tgo to washroom.
''What to do?''
His childish body couldn’t take it any longer. He tried to endure it as long as he could but his undeveloped urinary bladder muscleweregiving in.
''noI can endure it''
Assurance was not working and no other way could be seen. John was ready forlaunch butbefore he could do it, nanny came back with an old man.
"BelievemeMr.Valushe isnot anormal baby," said the nanny to old man but old man was having an expression of beingbored.Old man was skeptical about whatever she was saying. If not for the constant nagging of Lara he wouldn''t havecame.
"Show me."
"Ok. Heroif you can understand me raise your left hand."
He wasn''t able to understand what nanny was saying or in other words he was not in the condition of being able to understand.
John raised his little right arm and folded his all fingers expect little finger and waved it in front of nanny.
"#@**&#@**&"(Take me to bathroom)
"Aww little babywantto say something?"
Hefocusedall his energy on waving his tiny right hand with even more tiny little finger raised.
''Oh no!''
All doors for redemptionwere closed and flood gate broke open.Creating awarm sensation between John''s leg andall the water of flood gate was getting absorbed by the blanket on John which wasspreadingitswarmthto whole middle region.
It took a bit of time for Lara to realize baby has peed.
"Little devil you peed on bed."
Lara held the baby and ran toward bathroom followed by old man running behind them.
Inside bathroom Lara poured warm water in a small tub designed for babies and gently put the baby in it for a while after which she took the baby out of it and cleaned his whole body. WhileValus, standing on side was observing all this.
"Lara instead of making nonsense take care of baby seriously. To get you this job I had basically liedto mymaster. He asked me for experienced nanny and by no means that how experience nanny works. I don''t want to get in trouble because of you."
Lara heardValustill end. She was really grateful forValushelp but what the baby didearlierwas clearly something other wouldn''t be able to do, not even dreams so, how couldn''tshe get excited but forValussake She needs to be more professional even if she is not.
"I''m very sorry Mr.Valus. I assure you it won''t happen again."
"it mustn''t." With that saidValusleft for his own work.
John was taken back to his room and put in his cradle. If he would be agrown uphe might haveranaway withembarrassmentbut his baby body savedhim some trouble in this matter.
Heremaineddepressedfor few hours and once again slept. This time no lucid dreamthough.
He woke up at night, lying in cradle. Nanny was sleeping at the bed beside him. Unable to move his body, neither able to sleep he started to think about all the things happened earlier. Hedecidedto actaccordingto his age else if people knew he wasawareof what he did at young age they were going to taunt him for that and, he didn''twantedthat. He was thinkingofotherthings when he realized the hovering text over his eyes. Hetriedto touch itagainbut he couldn''t it wassomehowembedded into his retina and even when he closed his eyes he could see it. In his mind he saidwritten word.

It was something he was quite certain would happen. A table opened showing his name, class, skilland othervarious stuff. He hadvagueidea of what it was from the conversation of his college friend who were in this kind of boring thing but it was long time ago so for most of the part he was clueless. He went through the whole status window once.
He had no name and his class was hero. Whose description was given as the one who would defeat demon king and bring peace to the land. Description instead of helping him increased hisconfusion. At one side he is meant to defeat Demon king and onotherside goddess toldto make demon king ally. After that he went through the skillpart. He saw a skill,interestingand at same time useless, it was sleep. What is the use of having sleeping as a skill, isn''t it something that occur on its own. Heconcentratedon that skill to know itsdescription.
