"Well, it's been three months now since I woke up in this new body it's a bit strange, I mean I grew up reading Isekai manga and watching anime, but I never thought it was really a thing that happened." The worst part is that technically I'm talking to myself like a crazy person in my head since I am a three-month-old infant, but on the bright side I can at least understand those two now.
"Oh, dear would you be a sweetheart and grab some more firewood on your way home from work?" The slender looking women is apparently my mother in this world her name is Jessica Ward; she is very sweet and caring and honestly reminds me a lot of my mother from my past life.
"But Dear I was going to go to The Jumping Doe after work and get a few drinks with the guys." That stern looking man with the body built like a sculpture and the black hair. Is my father in this life Damien Ward; unfortunately for him as I said Jessica reminds me of my old mother for a reason.
"I'm sorry dear I didn't quite catch that it sounded like you were going to abandon your beautiful wife and children to go get drunk with a bunch of low lives." Sorry dad of this world but looks like mom has you beat yet again.
"Yes, Dear I will grab more firewood after work today." And just like that mom wins again, I do feel sorry for the guy though after all in my past life I was thirty-four and a military man, so I understand wanting to unwind with some drinks after a long day. I felt my crib shake suddenly and could hear the telltale signs of my worst nightmare in this world already up and about.
"Mom, Mom, Mom we want to play with the baby, can we, can we?" The pint‑sized natural disasters known as my sisters and trouble makers for my new parents in this world my oldest sister Rose Ward, she had the same black hair as Damien and the fair pale skin of Jessica if I remember she is eight years old, and my second oldest sister Lillia Ward, same bright golden red hair as our mother but all the energy of a caffeinated squirrel. I think she is five I remember some kind of party last month or was it last week man telling time as a baby is stupid hard for some reason. Maybe because all I do is crawl around and lay in this crib.
I should probably clarify a little bit just for prosperity's sake, in this world my father Damien ward is actual something called a Beast Kin, basically humans with animal ears, tails, eyes, claws and fangs for the most part they appear human though are far faster and stronger than your average joe.
My Mother Jessica is human which means that me and my two older sisters are hybrids, My sisters Rose and Lillia both appear more human then Beast Kin, the both have wolf like ears and a tail but their eyes despite being a deep yellow are human in nature and they don't have sharp canine fangs like me or dad, don't let that fool you though Lillia took a bite out of some kid the other day from what I heard it caused a bit of a problem for mom and dad. Rose seems to be the calmest of the two, but she is also a lot older than me and Lillia. Now as for me I took more after dad, black hair very animalistic features, tail, ears, claws fangs and eyes, now from my mother's side I did get a few strands of red hair mixed in with the black and her pale skin, also my eyes are a combination of moms blue eyes and dads yellow so mine are a deep green.
The way Lillia was rocking the crib was going to make me sick, luckily there is one sure fire way to get her to leave me alone.
"Hate to do this to you kid but I'd rather not be covered in my own vomit." I knew she couldn't understand a word I was saying since everything just came out as babytalk from me but all I had to do was start whaling and I did.
"Lillia Pots Ward stop making your brother cry this instant do you now have choirs to be doing outside." Oh, dang mom pulled out the middle name, even if I was reborn in this world I know that means trouble, sorry big sis but maybe next time don't almost make me throw up.
"Are you ok Little Ellie, did your big sister scare you." Jessica picked me up out of the crib and started bouncing me slightly like all mothers do, honestly this is more embarrassing than throwing up on myself.
Really baby talk honestly this sucks I may be a baby but I'm technically the same age as your husband in here and also little Ellie did you forget I'm your son or is this your way of saying you wanted another girl jeez mom.
"Well, I guess I can at least say thank you for saving me from that chaotic gremlin honestly mom what do you feed her that she has that much energy." Of course, you don't understand a word I'm saying but whatever.
"Oh yes that right you like when momma holds you don't you my little Ellie." Jessica was every bit the loving mother anyone would expect as long as you didn't piss her off so to speak.
"So a few things to note about this whole being reborn thing, first things first my new family is a bit chaotic but its not bad, secondly apparently this worlds technology level is basically earth during the high middle ages from what I can tell judging mainly based on the clothing my family wears and the way our house is built." Man, this kind of sucks but at least I'm not out in the cold.
"Third thing apparently this world if called Futror or maybe this continent it's honestly hard to tell given the lack of information I have available and it's not like I can just ask my parents since this body is not able to talk yet." Oh well, not like it would matter anyway, until I grow up, I'm just stuck here. My stomach growled a bit, well this sucks but a man's got to eat.
Three years later.
"Careful Elias do you need help getting in the chair?" Rose asked me as I was trying to climb up into the chair by the window.
"No, Elias do by self." Ugh honestly that's what I sound like in this body the least the gods of this world could do was let me speak like a normal person and not a toddler. Despite me saying that Rose didn't stop watching me until I managed to get in the chair properly, I did give her a bit of a scare when I started to lose my balance and fell on my ass unfortunately the embarrassment hurt worse than the actual fall into the seat.
This chair had become my favorite spot. I was able to see out into the world a little more than in the last two years. At least the horror of having my diaper changed was over. I swear I will never have another accident as long as I live, which is hopefully longer than the last time. Outside was my father in this world Damien taking practice swings with his sword as usual, this early in the morning, a bit of information on my dad I found out that Damien is actual the captain of our village's watch, which actually makes him pretty important around here, also another major discovery is that.
"Oh, dear you absolutely exhausted here let me help you out." Jessica held up her hands towards Damien a soft green glow beginning to cover her palms.
"By the gods of Futror and all the divine grant my allies this blessing and RECOVER." As the last word left her mouth Damien was covered in the same green glow that emanated from Jessicas hands.
"Thank you dear I feel much better after that." Damien gave Jessica a soft kiss flexing his muscles for her showing off like some high school jock, God I wish I could grow up faster to get away from my new parent's lovey dove stuff.
But it's not all bad as I have learned that magic exist in this world, and apparently my mother is a skilled healer, I learned this about a year ago when some village boy broke his ankle while playing in the woods, his parents brought him to our house and mom patched him even gave him some sort of candy that I didn't know she was hiding in the house, when I asked for one I was told it was a strong medicine used to help with pain as healing magic only fixes the problem but doesn't stop it from hurting which in my opinion kind of sucks like what good is it if it's still going to hurt. And that's not all I have learned about this new world, so last month we all went on this trip to a nearby town called Glim or Gloom or something with a g in the name, it's the only place with a church in it.
Anyway, the reason the whole family went was because my eldest sister Rose turned eleven and apparently that's a big deal in this world when every child turns eleven years old you undergo a baptism where the three gods of this world allow you to see what your class, specialization and starting skills are. Now I know what you're thinking total mmorpg, isekai vibes so I hope you're as pumped as I am.
Now your class doesn't tell you what to do with your life it just gives you a general direction sort of, like my father Damien he has the Swordsmen Class with a specialization in longswords and he was an adventure and now a watch captain, same with my mother Jessica she like my dad was an adventurer with the Cleric Class and as you already know a healer.
Rose was pretty lucky too I guess having parents with great skills and classes makes it a little easier for you, because after Rose was baptized, she got the Magic Swordsmen Class, and a couple great skills, like Basic Healing and Flame Sword Dance. Needless to say, she was pretty happy with that.
Since then Rose has been training a little bit with mom and dad to improve her skills and get new ones, apparently there is no limit to the skill you can learn but your class does play a big role in that, apparently if you're a swordsmen like dad you will excel at learning blade skills but suck at learning anything else, it's not impossible it just means your best skill is fighting with a blade.
"So cool. I want ski…skillz." I said, watching Damien as he went back to training after he finally stopped showing off to mom.
"It's Skills baby brother and don't worry you will get to see what your skills are when you turn eleven like me." Rose patted my head and like all annoying sisters, had to start rubbing my ears.
"Oh, you're just too cute when you sit here and act all grown up little Ellie." Ugh why is that stupid nickname still around curse you mom for teaching it to Rose and Lillia.
"What mean skills Elias have." God, could I sound any more like an uneducated child, wait do schools even exist in this world.
"Here lets your big sister Rose show you…Status open." With those words Rose unknowingly showed me exactly what I needed to do to figure out my own skills and class. As the blue translucent screen appeared hovering in the air, I saw Roses information.
Sex female, age eleven, race hybrid, 144cm or 4ft 8in, wow even her weight and a bio but most importantly her Class, specialization which she didn't have one, I guess they were learned later in life after gaining experience or something, her skills and even her level which she was only level 3 but then again it's not like she's ever had any real combat experience or however the leveling system works in this world.
Just as I was about to ask Rose something in my annoying little kid's voice, the door to our house burst open and in came the troublemaker.
"Onward Sir Porkey." Lillia shouted as she rode into the house on the back of a Hornback Boar, about the size of your average wild hog on earth except with one massively large horn that sticks out of their head and points backwards, they are low level monsters often dealt with by rookie adventures from what mom and dad have told me, in fact they are often raised alongside actual pigs as livestock.
"Lillia what the heck are you doing that thing is making a mess of the house." Rose screamed at Lillia as the boar knocked over the wooden table in the middle of the house and continued to run around trying to throw Lillia off its back.
