Chapter 4
…
All things aside, he still wasn't capable of learning the current Earth language.
His mind then wandered, recalling a pivotal line from the original novel. It spoke of a time when everything on earth drastically changed after the arrival of the Energy called Nirvana.
The planet's geography mutated beyond recognition.
Mutated animals, or what they called beasts, emerged. And forests became mystifying labyrinths of the lost and the dead.
A few of the lands began to float in the sky. Flames consumed the heavens, bathing the skies in crimson hues.
From the depths of the very oceans, an unknown civilization rose. Mountains split apart as if cleaved by titanic forces, while ice in Antarctica melted, reshaping entire continents.
On the other hand, frigid icebound landscapes found new homes in unfamiliar regions.
Among these incredible sweeping changes, humanity discovered something truly profound: language itself underwent a radical transformation.
A single, unified language emerged, born from Nirvana's essence—a language that transcended barriers and resonated with the very core of human understanding.
They called this language the Primal Tongue, as it reflected all the manners of speech unified under one single script of origin.
Remembering the novel made him excited at first, then terrified the next second.
This novel had so many dark moments, it really didn't fit with the sunny-merry boy like him to live.
"Sigh, what comes has come. I might as well live for the moment now," Kyren nodded to himself, feeling wizened like a bald monk.
Looking at one of the items in the store, he chose to save points to exchange that first, as it was crucial for him.
[Language Integration]
…
Finally, six months had passed since he was born.
Currently, he was dressed in soft, white baby clothes and sat on his mother's lap, who was wearing an elegant, dark red dress.
She tried to make it rather loose, to hide her curve, but his mother figure was so prominent that no matter how hard she tried, she was still so stunningly beautiful.
If she were somehow placed on Earth, she would probably be a goddess. Worshipped by men and envied by women.
Kyren nodded to himself, rather sure of that conjecture of his.
Though no matter how pretty and ravishing his mother was, even when she showed him her two white mountains to breastfeed him, Kyren didn't feel anything.
Instead, he was concerned about whether he used too much force in his bite.
Kyren admitted he was rather perverted in his first life when he saw a beautiful woman.
But when he was with his mother, the feeling was completely different. He didn't know how to explain it either.
Just, without lust. But only love, care, and trust.
'Sigh, this might be what people call the egg and seed connection. Wait, it sounds wrong!!?'
Kyren blinked his eyes cutely at his mother, feeling that his brain wasn't purified enough yet from his first life.
'I blame all of those toilet papers, ManyFans, and CallHub. Hmmm, all of them so indecent…'
Kyren commented righteously, as if he weren't the one who watched all of those things.
On the other hand, Kyren's antics had elicited a squeal from his mother, who, as early as this morning, had been fidgeting anxiously while waiting in this room.
Because of Kyren's adorable plushie behavior, the burden she carried in her heart eased considerably, as she rubbed her soft cheek against his.
She thought her son knew that she was concerned about something, and he wanted to cheer her up.
"Oh, my Kyren, you are so adorable. Thank you for worrying about me. I'm fine now… Thank you, muach, muach…"
She ended it with kiss after kiss, as Kyren let out a laugh from how ticklish the feeling was.
On another topic, Kyren eventually managed to obtain enough Joy Points, thanks to his special baby mastery, to make his mother happy.
As she played with him, it resulted in a genuine laugh and smile from his mother, which in turn allowed Kyren to harvest so many little orbs from Joy and Love, more than just enough to exchange for Language Integration.
"Yes, come, come my little babies. Come to your daddy. Let's come together and be happy inside me. Release all of it!!! hehehe…"

All of a sudden, Kyren felt a headache coming in.
Everything around him was spinning round and round. He also moved his body in circles like a drunken toddler, before falling back onto his mother's soft bosom.
Seeing that, Kyren's mother excitedly began to hug and kiss him again, thinking that her son was trying to act comical with her again, just like what Kyren always did.
But their happiness was cut short by someone who abruptly opened the door of their room.
And that person was Kyren's so-called father, who entered with an air of nonchalance, attempting to act cool like a villain from a cultivation novel.
'Meh, he acted like a discounted version instead.'
Kyren cursed within his mind, as his headache diminished slowly but surely.
"Let's go. We need to test his Aptitude and Talent…"
He said that with a casual smile lingering on his lips, while looking at his mother, whose face instantly turned frosty the moment that person arrived.
The warm air around her turned to something different altogether from a second ago when she was all smiles and giggles while playing with her son.
Now, it was replaced with biting ice cold.
"Yes, Lord Lucius…"
She said politely, her face devoid of emotion.
'So, his name is Lucius.'
Kyren thought to himself, as he finally understood all of their conversation.
Meanwhile, Lucius didn't take kindly to her tone.
He frowned as he approached his mother, who propped herself off the ground while still carrying Kyren.
Slap―
It was a resounding slap that landed on her, loudly echoing in the room.
He resumed by grasping her hair and lifting it above.
"Be careful with the way you act, woman!? You are no longer that prestigious lady from the Raven Clan. You are now are nothing but my whore who beg in the front of my gate for my help," Lord Lucius glared, eyes fixated on hers.
"Hisss… Apologize, my lord…"
Kyren's mother fought off the pain, as she lowered her head without daring to fight back.
Though tears were glistening in the corner of her eyes.
Kyren, who saw that…
