Chapter 1 - 1. cycle of births?

...

.

.

.

In a small woodshack with dirt and foul smell lingering all over , we see the interior if it could even be called that given all the things in it were obviously old and moldy with cobwebs at all the corners visible,

The woodshack only had a small room with two beds and a table with a lantern being lit giving the room a dark and mysterious aura to it.

Then a women's cry was heard,

the cry was loud with justification as the women was seen giving birth with a midwife.

After a while the baby was born smoothly,

The family was thrilled to have a new member join but the happiness was cut short.

As they had discovered the baby didn't move and didn't even cry and even its weight was terrifyingly light, Mind you if a baby doesn't cry at birth it means its basically dead as not crying means not breathing.

But the family was surprised to see that even if the baby didn't cry it was breathing only problem being that it wasn't moving not even in the slightest.

The women tried to feed the baby but to no avail as the baby didn't open its mouth, it only breathed but after repeated attempts at trying to feed it

all the people in the room were confused and scared as the baby wouldn't drink the mothers milk it would likely die after a few hours.

And that's exactly what happened after a few hours of the baby not drinking the mothers milk it died.. The end for this life at least

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

In another household the same thing happened although the family had a magician it was to no avail as the magician had only begun her journey and had learned only 1 spell that being a offensive one she too could do nothing as the baby died.

.

.

.

The same thing happened to a household of Royal blood although the king tried everything to save the baby but it still fell short and it inevitably died

.

.

.

The same thing happened again and again with a baby being birthed who didn't cry and move that died after a few hours no matter the household be it a kings, a commoners a noble and even a practicinor of immortal arts but each time the baby inevitably died after a grueling and pitiful 2 hours.

The cycle continued the baby being born and then dying, born and dying, born and dying, born and dying again and again and again

But each time the baby lived a little longer just a tinny tiny bit longer for the first life It died after 2 hours then after about 5-10 life it increased to.... 2 hours and 0.1 seconds.

After about tens of hundreds of deaths of a baby or "the baby" each time leaving a mothers grieving for the loss of her child.

Finally The baby .... It moved, the baby had a "breakthrough" Although it could only move it's mouth only a little bit and it still died but it lived half an hour More than usual

Then the cycle continued but this time the baby instead of living just a pitful amount of time more. It also moved just a little more although still pitful it was an improvement.

.

.

.

.

Afters hundreds of thousands of "deaths" The baby could move normally now although it's weight was below average and was considered unhealthy and weak compared to other newborns but it was a drastic improvement from the original "not moving and dying afters 2 hours baby"

This time though it lived for a couple of months but then it caught a mysterious cold and died to illness as the baby in this life was born in a poor household so with the meagers wealth of the family they could not afford medicine so the baby died yet again leaving behind yet again a grieving mother.

.

.

.

The cycle continued now after God knows how many deaths of "the baby" It was born with a average physical body although it could still be called "lower average" It was still average unfortunately the baby still died to illness as the baby was born in a poor household yet again.

The baby being born in a household that holded cultivators of immortal arts or magicians with mystical power were incredibly rare and few although that didn't mean much now though as the baby died of illness strangely every time but now forget dying of illness when u can die of lightning,

yes lightning the baby had died of lightning now it was certain that the reason for its death was now a "curse" Now that he could move and didn't die of natural causes early on

.

.

.

After the baby was Continuesly being killed by this mysterious curse though the baby noticed a pattern if the household was in a certain style that we know as somewhat Asian Or eastern it would mostly die due to... Lightning striking him and that too at exactly 1 months old

and if the household was "western style" It would get infected or die due to an "mysterous illness" at exactly 1 month too

although the methods somewhat vary like the lightning being from a misfire of a speel from someone out the house or it being from a bulb or just the classic thunder in the head but each time the baby had grown a "reresistance to the curse meaning he had more time in his hands although the exact method to gaining the resistance to the curse was mysterious

it seemed like it happened to have to do something with his soul, the soul had grown stronger due to the curse constantly targeting it and it seemed like his soul was... indestructible and everlasting but pitifully weak ,it seemed that the curse was training him? By giving the child a "soul strengthening method by repeatedly killing him and giving him resistance towards God knows what methods...

mind you it's only a resistance not immunity the type where it took not 1 but 2 strikes of lightning to die or he might survive the "curse disease" For a couple of months but die after he got a new one Or when the disease got strengthen ridiculously

.

.

.

Then it happened after soo many deaths of baby, enough deaths in fact that the corpses of babies killed was enough to create whole sun sized planets, ...well, burnt baby corpse with all kinds of diseases and misfortune everywhere planet type,

some might wonder what the hell the baby had done to get this sort of treatment, though that's for another time but now

The baby had completed its resistance towards the curse now it was no longer a resistance it was now an immunity

.

.

.

As the baby opened its eyes to see the new world then it cried out like it was supposed to do something he did so many times , but the baby didn't expect after opening its eyes to see presumably its mother have a face that displayed Extreme Astonishment and some fear mixed into it.

It too was surprised partially because of his mothers expression and also beacuse the room looked like nothing he had seen , the room was snow white almost like a white void, the room had a single bed a table and a chair and some glowing crystal that was having all sorts of colours in it moving constantly

The first thing he noticed was that his mother had black hair like the abyss and a beautiful face no one could even describe, she had eyes that seemed to contain infinite knowledge in it,

And now this being who was the closest thing to perfection he had seen wss currently looking at him with astonishment

although the baby had seen all kinds of expression of various mothers seeing their baby this was the first time he met such a gaze

Although the baby didn't know, the reason the mother was so astonished was that the moment he was the born it was as if the heavens had roared in anger no one knew for sure why but the women decided it to be a good omen as even though the heavens had roared maybe it was a celebration of her childs birth after all that was not the only phenomenon that happened,

All sorts of phenomenons that signals fortune and misfortune, disaster and blessings were showing.

The sky was filled with stars that seemed so much brighter than usual all over the world and the ground and even the universe were seemingly shaking with all kinds of mystical animal roaring with all their might as if their lives depends on it, the seas were cracked, the sky had turned pitch black with some white mixed into it seemingly trying to devour each other...

The baby thought no it knew this was the life,

The life where he truly shined like he was meant to
