A decade later, stood Areth, an inexperienced Pulsarian boy ready to go talk to his mother, who, ever since he opened his eyes, had rarely seen her not training, which was unlike his father, who he rarely ever saw train at all.
The house is pretty big, bigger than his place before reincarnating, that is.
The house had white walls and big windows that showed the backyard, and in the back stood a fountain and his mother, training again.
“There she is, this super soldier of a woman.” Areth thought as he quickly made his way to the backyard.
“Mother!” He shouted as he looked at her.
She had skin that was a mixture of dark brown and rose, just like his current self.
She also had light silver eyes, hair, and eyebrows, and she wore blue pants and a white t-shirt and had a bit of muscle, but still had a more feminine frame.
“Yes, Areth?” She said as she stopped her training.
“Can I train with you?” He asked her, and she agreed nonchalantly.
The two were going to do their usual, hand-to-hand training with Areth attacking his mother and her defending from his not very threatening attacks.
“Come at me whenever you feel like it,” she said with both of her arms behind her back.
Areth leaped at her, sending a punch at her head, which she dodged with no effort.
He tried sending another punch, then a kick, then another punch, but not a single attack landed as she levitated just above ground to avoid his attacks swiftly, which annoyed Areth.
His mother noticed dissatisfaction and crouched to him before speaking.
“You’ve gotten faster than before, my child.” She said as she patted his head.
“Any day now, and he might just accidentally hit your face!” A masculine voice said from the side.
“Dad!” The boy shouted as he noticed him.
Areth’s father was taller than his mother by a few inches.
He also wore a t-shirt, but wore strawberry pajamas as he floated above the grass, lying on his back in mid-air.
He had short dreadlocks, silver hair, eyes, and eyelashes, had the same skin color as her, and a small silver beard that came with three scars on his neck.
“Hey, Areth!”
“And hello, my dear Claurophia.”
“Hello, Hadel.” She simply replied.
“Shall we go to the mall today?” He asked her.
“I don’t mind.”
“Alright then, it is decided, we’re going to the mall, Areth!” He said with a smile on his face.
Later during the day, the three went to the mall and visited multiple stores, although mainly weapon stores due to the mother being around, but they eventually went to get ice cream.
The store was similar to an ice cream shop on Earth, which kept surprising Areth because this was a completely different world.
“Which flavor do you want?” Hadel asked him.
“Caramel!” he kindly replied.
“I’ll be taking vanilla,” Claurophia added.
“Then I’ll be taking that as well.” The father said as the employee went to make the ice cream, when Hadel had a sudden urge to go to the bathroom, and quickly excused himself.
Claurophia looked at her husband leave the room within a split second before turning to the employee at the shop.
…
“I’ll pay for the ice cream,” the mother said.
As the three left the store and walked the busy street with icecreams at hand, Areth noticed a little girl running around as she ran across the road, when a car went at high speeds towards her.
!?
“Oh no!” He thought to himself as he was about to run towards her, when suddenly an unusual amount of speed came out of his body, which caught him off guard, leading to him accidentally launching himself towards the girl as he caught her and sent the two of them out of the car’s way due to the speed he was going at, saving her life in the process.
Hadel immediately noticed that Areth moved out of his line of sight before Claurophia reacted half a second later.
BOOM!
!?
“Areth!?”
“Are you alright!?” Hadel asked him in shock about what had happened.
The pulsarian boy stood on the ground of the other side of the street, with the girl on top of him, crying as he took deep breaths, as he saw his ice cream on a nearby wall, when he unexpectedly saw an icon similar to what he saw in the past around 10 years ago, a golden rectangular icon with a message written on it.
[CONGRATULATIONS, YOU HAVE AWAKENED!]

“…..Awakened?”
