After a week of being born, her mother brings him to a temple of the Goddess of Cosmos.
It is late at night and the weather is stormy.
Just like this weather, the emotions in this mother’s heart are heavy.
She can’t understand what should she do.
Her tiny figure is so weak that it looks like that she would fall on the ground at any moment.
However, she doesn’t and her grip on her baby in her arms is even tighter.
Looking at his face makes her eyes tear up.
She regrets everything that ever happened to her.
This mother’s name is Rola.
She is a prostitute who is only fourteen years old and one of her clints had impregnated her.
In brothel, if a clint were to impregnate one of the prostitutes.
Then they’ve to take responsibility and pay a big some of money to the woman and the brothel.
However, her clint ran away and did nothing for her child.
Now she is forced by the brothel owner to abandon this child of hers.
After hearing that form her employer, she begged her to let her keep this child with her.
She cried continuously hoping that she would let her keep her child.
However, what she heard in returned broke her hope completely.
She said that if this child was a girl then she would’ve kept this baby in the brothel for future use.
Knowing the fact there is no hope.
Rola came to a conclusion that she rather abandoned her child then give the baby a life like that.
This also made her heave a sigh of relief as this child was boy.
Now Rola is going to leave this child in this temple.
Hoping that, the priest of this temple will look after her child.
Or keep him in his temple until he can go somewhere else.
Tears suddenly flows down her eyes.
She looks at her child one last time and abandons him like how her own parents abandoned her.
But at least, he won’t be abandoned to live a life as her.
That gave her a little hope.
Then she says her finally goodbyes to her baby and loudly knock onto the door of the temple.
After that, she quickly run away weakly.
An old look man opens the temple’s door.
He looks half asleep.
He then looks outside the door and doesn’t find anyone.
He waits for few seconds and then shakes his head.
As he is about to close the door, he hears crying and look down at his feet.
He finds a baby who is covered in clothes.
With hurry, he picks up the baby and looks everywhere with confusion.
“Where is your mother?”
He sighs and brings the baby inside.
While holding the baby, he looks at the note and it says the name of the baby: Joy.
***
Joy had thought that, the priest would just close the door on him.
Then he would freeze to death.
He doesn’t want his third incarnation to be that small.
So, he started crying to get his attention.
Fortunately, the priest was able to find him and was good hearted enough to bring him inside.
His current life is filled with misfortune.
He hasn’t even been one month old and he is already abandoned.
However, he also doesn’t blame his mother for doing so either.
She is far too young to take care of him.
She is practically a child.
He should be blaming that deadbeat father for impregnating her.
He would say some terrible curse words but he doesn’t know.
Joy can’t believe that he is an orphan in his third life.
Not exactly an orphan but both of his parents has abandoned him so he isn’t much too far away from being that.
He sighs inwardly.
He is actually surprised to find out that he has reincarnated again.
He had thought that he only has that second chance and after that it is all over.
That is one of the reasons, he has taken such a risk to find more about magic and mysticism.
In the end, he wasn’t caution enough.
This death has terrified him at a deeper level.
He didn’t know that someone can kill someone else so quietly.
If he has to make a guess then it is either that some assassin had come to his home and did something to kill him or something.
Maybe poisonous gas or something.
But he abandoned that thinking as that doesn’t make sense.
There were many more children than him.
How did the person know that it was him who sneaked into that office.
It is all related to that book.
Suddenly a thought, come to his mind and he frowns.
‘Could it be that…it is because I touched that book?’
He has been thinking of many reasons for days.
As a baby, his thought process is slow.
But he has been an infant many times so he has adjusted to it fast now.
However, this shock just makes his infant body cold.
Then more thoughts come into his head and all those thoughts aren’t pleasant at all. Find the original chapter at novelping.com.
‘Did Mel know that this kind of thing can happen?
Yes, of course, that is why she didn’t dare touch the book.
She didn’t even touch the floor of the room properly because of her dark domain abilities.
So, does that mean she hid that from me?
But why?’
He tries to make sense of this through her perspective.
But that only made him more anxious as what she did was deception.
Mel, perhaps, was waiting in the room for him to arrive and find the book so he would flip it.
Or maybe, this was her goal from the beginning.
Or it could be that she didn’t know that he would go for the book and so she took the opportunity to use him.
This perspective makes him thing that she had made preparations for this kind of thing to happen.
She had planned things out.
Perhaps, the door of the office was opened by her too.
She had laid a trap for him.
Someone who was just a four years old boy for her.
‘But if she had known that why didn’t she tell me?’
It was obvious and he had thought of it why that even is.
Because she doesn’t want to bother with him.
It didn’t matter to her if he died or not.
To her, he was a stranger.
More he thought about it.
The more depressed he become.
‘Maybe it was also a lie that she only wanted the info of the book for her caution.
She actually wanted to know more ability rituals of the dark domain.’
His head hurt and he could help but cry.
He was a child so he was allowed to express his pain with crying.
While crying, he imagined how devastated his mom and dad would be.
He felt pity for them.
He was basically the killer of their son.
He knows that the events that occurred could have occurred with an ordinary child too.
However, he couldn’t help but blame himself.
He thinks of the pain of losing a child but he can’t understand that pain as he never was able to live that long.
All this because he trusted her.
Now in his 3rd incarnation, he doesn’t have mom or dad.
He is all alone and now he isn’t sure who to trust.
He is truly alone this time.
