NOVEL NEXT Chapter 2: Birth
“Boom!”
In the wake of the thunder, I was assaulted by intense pain as every fiber of my being was being pricked by the electric shock constantly.
Incapable of doing anything else, I could only pray that I didn’t get killed by the lightning. Otherwise, I, Akabel— (omitted the rest)1, will need to go see those two retarded goddesses again.
Perhaps surprised by the lightning, noises began to surface from the outside again.
“What…? Why did the lightning…”
“The barrier is destroyed…”
“My child!”
So… noisy… I was hit by sudden drowsiness.
The pain and numbness caused by the lightning gradually faded away, but the egg was still in one piece.
“Huu…” My lungs began to work and supplied me with all the oxygen I needed to stay awake.However, the air in the egg was obviously very thin.2
Could it be that, I, Washington— (omitted the rest), will really die in my eggshell?
Looks like I still need to go see those retarded goddesses after all. I wonder if they will give me another chance at rebirth.
“My child… a- are you okay?”
“My queen, please refrain yourself. He must rely on himself at this time.”
“Why did the lightning strike? Is there an enemy?!”
“Go investigate quickly!”
So noisy! I am dying okay? Do you guys really need to make so much noise? Will you not just let me die in peace?
They’re really… so bothersome!
Thump-thump, thump-thump… as abruptly as my pulse quickened… my whole body began to feel hot.
“Huu… huu…” My lungs desperately squeezed out the last of the oxygen present in the shell.
The blood in my body began to boil. I could even hear the flow of blood as they coursed through the veins.
“No, I’m going to break the eggshell.”
“Think about it trice my queen! If you break the eggshell now, it will affect his fu—”
“There’s no future if he dies now?! Out of my way!” There was yet another uproar coming from the outside.
I say… you guys… are too noisy!
I suddenly stretched my hands outward.
“Crack,” I became dumbfounded.
The noisy bunch also quietened down.
The sound of my heartbeat became clearer. At the same time, I felt like I could hear countless heartbeat sounds resonating with mine.
I exerted a little strength into my fingers and the seemingly indestructible eggshell from a moment ago shattered like a piece of paper. Light began to penetrate into the egg from the small crack.
Usually, when one stayed in the dark for too long, they wouldn’t be able to look straight at the light at once. However, my eyes adapted to the dazzling light very quickly.
“Crack! Crack!”
The eggshell cracked every time I exerted a bit of strength. When the entirety of my hand finally stretched out of the egg, I found that they were long and slender, completely unlike that of a newborn baby.
In other words, I’ve skipped the whole infant phase and reincarnated as a little loli? Isn’t that too big of a jump? We… I haven’t mentally prepared myself for this!
It was at this time I suddenly thought of a problem; I am currently naked, and there are unknown numbers of dragons out there fixing their eyes on me. It wouldn’t have been a problem if I am an infant, but with my current body… that would be a little… too much…
A warm hand suddenly grabbed me as I contemplated whether to go out like this or not. Her originally dignified voice now carried incomparable affection as she said, “Don’t be scared, my child. I’ll be here for you.”
The voice dispelled all my doubts. I stretched my other hand outside and pulled apart the eggshell separating us bit by bit.
Every time an eggshell dropped off, I heard a sound reminiscent of my heartbeat.
“Thump-thump, thump-thump.”
And then what appeared before me was a beautiful madam looking at me with affectionate eyes. The slight smile at the corner of her mouth refused to go away.
Her fiery hair looked as though they were burning and outshone the dazzle of the sun.
She slowly lifted me from within the eggshell and used a gorgeous cloth to wrap me up.
“It’s alright, don’t be scared. You may restrain the Dragon Might now. Otherwise, some of the little fellas wouldn’t be able to endure it.”
Only now did I realize the surrounding was a huge valley, and figures of huge life forms could be seen everywhere around the valley.
Huge body, fierce-looking head, the scales that reflected light under the sunlight, and those huge pair of wings… so cool… are those the legendary dragons? They are every bit as cool as my imagination!
The strange thing was that all the dragons were crouching down for some reason. Some of the smaller-sized dragons were even trembling a little.
The gray dragon that’s closest to me said with a trembling voice, “All hail the royal princess. Shortly after she was born, her Dragon Might was already strong enough to overpower all of the dragons here. Only the queen who’s a half-god remains unaffected… Th- this might be comparable to the power of the first generation dragons with the purest bloodline… It looks like Her Highness incubated for twenty years for a reason. Maybe someday in the future, Her Highness may be able to launch an attack at the illusory Heavenly Realm.”
Heavenly Realm? I suddenly thought of those two retarded goddesses. In other words, I have a chance for revenge in the future? Wahaha, just wait for me you two idiots, I will definitely make my way towards that whatever world and then press my little brother against your ⓑⓔⓔⓟ— to let you two experience my agony!
The madam… no, my mother gently stroked my head and said proudly, “Of course, this is but my baby girl. Good girl, quickly retract your Dragon Might or someone might really not be able to stand it anymore.”
What? How am I to know how to retract it when I don’t even know how to release this thing.
Maybe because this body had never once spoken before, my voice wouldn’t come out when they reached the mouth. Only after spiraling in my mouth for a long time did a word finally made its way out.
“Iya?” That was the only sound I managed to make.
“Ss——3” Mother’s face suddenly flushed, then she suddenly buried me into her E, no… at least F-cup breasts.
“So… so cute!!!”
- In my own defense, this is what’s written in the raw.
- Hm… I don’t know how eggs work, but do their lungs start working already while in the eggs? What about the yolk and egg whites, all those liquid in the eggs?
- Sound of air sucked between the teeth.
