I can't say that the relationship between me and my son is normal. I, Cliff Belmont, have a rather strange relationship with my own son. I don't know how to put it to word. Both me and my wife were plain terrified of our own son. The son that we gave birth to came to haunt us.I was really happy when I got the news that my wife had become pregnant. It was a day when I danced with joy after going home. I was young. I was hoping for a daughter however my wife wanted a son. In the end, the doctor told us that it's a son. I was happy either way.We decided on a name. Clive, it's a name that was kinda stuck to my mind. And my son was born. It wasn't a good situation. Due to some complications, my son was delivered 12 weeks before the delivery date. It was a very critical time.My son was on the brink of death. I didn't want my first child to die. I prayed. Although I had never prayed to any god before, I prayed desperately. And my son survived. Although he needed special care.Due to bei

The dinner was delicious. As always Fiona's cooking is top notch. My mother and Fiona shared some tips. My mother liked to cook. She even taught cooking sometimes. Eden and Aura went to sleep. Well, Aura was going to tuck Eden in but I told her to get some sleep. I mean, she always has trouble getting up. Let's see if she gets up early when she sleeps more. And it's probably midnight. Mom went to sleep as well. The entrance to the pocket dimension is in the dining hall. Dad and I are sitting on the sofa. Everyone else has already fallen asleep. The entire city is quiet. At least this part. "This is the a first for us." "What is?" (Dad)"You and me sitting together late at night. This has never happened before. Mom would always get angry with me for staying up late at night." "Yeah. She didn't even let me stay up. Lights out by 11. That's the rule." (Dad)Dad and I laugh. But I shush him. "We should go somewhere else. Everyone is sleeping after all." "Where can we go this late

After that news, I became a little...no very concerned. About myself and my position. I can hardly remember my childhood. For some reason, everything is a blur. I vividly remember everything after the pedophile incident but before that is just a blur. I didn't even try to recall. My dreams have never showed me anything related to it either. I will mull it over later.I am sitting on my throne and bed, the sofa. I am living like a himbo. Anyway, everyone has come back home.Hazel is chuckling. I was so out of it when they came back that I was apparently saying weird things. Hazel has been laughing since.Aera, Aegis, Doris and Amaryllis have been with me since I came back. But they didn't try to console me. They just let me brood over it.I recomposed myself. Fiona is the only one left. But I am sure she won't be too interested in it anyway.I did go grocery shopping. I think we are fine regarding the food. Who will cook though? I don't want to bother Fiona. Maybe I should get some c

(Hazel POV)This morning, all of us had decided ahead of time that we will wake up before master does. It wasn't all that hard. I can just wake myself up anytime I want. The problem was Aura. She has trouble waking up. Even her daughter, Eden, wakes up earlier than her. Fiona and Fay are used to waking up early. It didn't cause any trouble for us.I did have to drag Aura out of her bed though. We were all assembled before 6 in the morning. Since master is asleep on the sofa, we did not loiter around the dining hall. We all went to Fiona's room for a chat."Hazel, what do you think?" (Aura)"I think master is hiding something. From all of us. He disappeared last night all of a sudden and came back late. Where did he go?" Everyone thinks. I have been together with master the longest. But even I cannot understand what he thinks. "Then, why don't we bait him?" (Fay)"Bait? How do we even bait him?" "Just be as oblivious as we can. He probably thinks that we didn't notice anything. Le

I walk through the city. Dusk is still some moments away. I think I can get this job done by then. Even so, I am not in a hurry. I don't need to be that careful about time anyway.I checked the location. It's on the eastern side of the city. I have never gone there. It'll be a first. I leisurely walk through the streets while ignoring the looks.People are staring a hole through me and Amaryllis. We both don't mind the stares so it really didn't do any harm."Master, do you know what type of monster is that renoster?" (Amaryllis)"The picture did help. From what it looks like, it's a quadruped. I do have some information but it's from my world. I don't know if that will help. But this renoster has an uncanny semblance to it." "Your world, you mean Gaia?" (Amaryllis)"Yes. It doesn't feel like much time has passed but it has been more than a year now. Let's not get all pessimistic. Look, here comes the gate. Oh, you don't have an identification card. Go back inside." Amaryllis went b

(Amaryllis POV)My master...can be called a weird man. He is a young man. Just about 18. He doesn't look very imposing and is quite easygoing. But, he is still nonetheless my master.As a spirit, I can not go against my master. No matter what they ask of us, we have to do it. That's the ironclad rule of us spirits. There are many kinds of spirits out there. Some have humanoid form, some are totally abstract. I have a humanoid form but my original form is a planet.Every thing can have a spirit. Even planets and stars do have spirit. It's just that not many are capable of sensing us. My master is Clive Belmont. A human from Gaia who survived a trial. From what my master said, the gods had attacked Gaia to exterminate humans and take back Gaia. However, master survived and is currently traveling.He came to this planet, Jupiter, just to have a good discussion with the gods. I am not against it. But I hate the gods with a passion. The Olympian arrogant brats who defeated their parents

Melissa brought everyone with her to the place where she sent Serus. It’s a normal home. A normal four room, two floor home you can find anywhere.“Where are we?” (Anais)“This is the place. Serus is inside.”Melissa pushes the gate and enters. Everyone follows. She opens the door. The inside is as normal as the outside. “This is just a normal home. Serus is in his room.” (Melissa)She goes upstairs and opens another door. Everyone followed and saw a scene that confused most of them.Serus is sleeping on a woman’s lap. He is sleeping so peacefully that he seems dead. The woman is caressing his head gently like a mother. What baffled them most is that she looks exactly like Melissa.“What is the meaning of this?” (Mona)“Why is he sleeping on your lap?” (Ariel)“First of all, that’s not me. That’s someone he thought of as the ideal mother.” (Melissa)“Does that mean he views you as his mother?” (Anais)“I guess I fit the vibe. Besides, I wouldn’t mind being his mother.” (Melissa)Mon

If I have to explain what Seina just explained, it sounds gibberish. Most wouldn’t even get what he meant. I can see a few people already having existential crisis.Masato has always been a realist. His reality is what he sees. But now this entire explanation has given him existential crisis.I am having a hard time as well. Who knew that Mona was a creator from the get go. And the fact that she is obsessing over me, it’s kinda crazy.Irene is having a hard time because imagine, you are suddenly told that your daughter is the creator of the world you live in. Now that’s a god move.Ariel probably got used to it. I mean she was accompanying Seina to rescue me. I didn’t think that Anais and Ratri would get involved as well. They are holding up pretty well. On the flip side, boss and father are not malfunctioning. They are just staring blankly into the distance like whatever goes at this point.As for me, I am contemplating my choices. Could I have lived a better life? I probably could

Death was my ultimate goal. I did every thing possible so I could to die. I had always thought that death would give my life meaning. I never did anything meaningful. I was always looking for ways to die. But that backfired on me. I did die. My death was swift and painful. My body was truly dead. My soul was trapped in purgatory. I was supposed to serve my sentence there before disappearing. I was content with it. That didn’t happen. My purgatory was invaded. I was alone before someone joined me. He was a young man. He felt oddly familiar and had a similar vibe to Seina. I thought maybe my soul can die as well. I asked him to kill me. He didn’t hesitate or try to talk me out of it. He just killed me. I lost my consciousness. Even my soul can feel pain. The pain was overwhelming. He strangled me to death and broke my neck. I lost consciousness and my pain dissipated. My mind was drifting through vast darkness. There was no end in sight. Was that death? I didn’t see anything like

Mona has somehow brought Serus before us. Her attitude has changed and everyone is confused. I was suspicious of her behavior since Serus’s disappearance but this is beyond me.How did she do it? Serus had run away and she brought him back before us like he never left. Serus himself is quite flabbergasted and is staring blankly at Mona. Clive is looking at Mona with great anticipation. He’s like a kid on the verge of getting a new toy. Seina has a terrified look on his face. He is holding is stomach like it’s aching. So the tension has caught him.“Mona, what did you do?” I ask her. She looked at me and gave me a smile. It’s a smile that would normally reassure people but I can’t feel any sort of reassurance from that.“Nothing special, Ariel. I just caught the man who doesn’t listen to us. No, I just caught the naughty rebellious kid.” (Mona)Her voice, it’s giving me the chills. Seina stands up.“I had always wondered, where did she go? This is how I find the answer.” (Seina)Wit

I was hoping to find more about him. But it didn’t happen.The vision is abruptly stopped and I am at a different place.A garden with a lot of trees. There’s a person sitting on a stump, reading a book. The scene straight out of a fairly tale but it gave me the chills.He looks at me. I froze. My throat dried up. My heartbeat became faster. It’s as if I was afraid of him.“You are doing something wrong, young lady. You shouldn’t peek through the memories of the dead. Serus won’t like it.” He tells me. I am listening to him. But I can’t comprehend his words.“You will remember your encounter with me. When you leave this place, look back on this memory and try to think. Serus is not deceased yet. Tell Seina to look for him. And tell him that Kirin told you so.” My vision became blurry and I lost my footing. Maybe I am waking up.I open my eyes and think. Whatever that Kirin guy said, I remember every word of it. I see Mona staring at me.“How much time has passed?” “Not even an hour

After he was switched with Akito, his life began as the fake Akito. I remember that Masato hid a lot of things from us when we first met.And Serus said that he doesn’t remember much from his childhood. His memories were jumbled. Let’s see how his childhood went.The first year went by without any major problems. The Sakai couple didn’t notice anything wrong with Serus. However once Serus turned two, they started noticing it.He looked different from the both of them. And the seed of suspicion was sown. They kept investigating on their own until they instinctively knew that Serus wasn’t their child.And they totally changed. Serus was three years old when they started neglecting him. They didn’t feed him for days. Didn’t provide him the basic things a child of his age needs.It was heartbreaking to watch. But watching is all I can do. Because these have already occurred.The look in their eyes as they watched Serus cry for help, it was animalistic. Like they were possessed by somethin

I am currently with Constant. We are headed for the human world.“I say the human world but it was actually created by one of the humans. There exists a plenty of human worlds. This is just one of them.” (Constant)He said that and now we are walking through a portal he created.The portal left us at a field. It’s a normal field. “This is a world that was created by one of my friends. This is also my first time coming here. Let’s find a city or town.” (Constant)We both start walking. The area is nice. It’s sunny but not hot. The wind is gently blowing caressing my whole body. Somehow, I get the feeling that I know this sensation.After walking for about 15 minutes, we arrive at a small town. It looks like a medieval town. Stone houses and stone paved roads. It has proper water drainage system and the town’s folk look clean. “The town is called Solomon. It is named after a wise king. Today is supposed to be a festival. But what, I don’t know.” (Constant)So a festival. The town is k

After he got ready, we left that place. I don’t know where that is but we left it anyway. He tapped on a portion of the wall and it opened revealing a spiral portal.“Off we go.” He said and jumped into it. I also did. Portals like this are basically connected to a random place. I don’t know where I would end up at.After coming out, I see a residential area, I think. Concrete road, houses on each sides and a pond. Seriously, a pond. This is the first time, I am seeing an open pond.I find Constant sitting on a bench by the pond. The pond is kinda green. And it’s dirty.“See, this is the area I spent my childhood in.” (Constant)“Hoohhh…then you grew up here?”“Yes. It holds a special meaning to me. Behind us is a library. It doesn’t look like it though.” (Constant)He points at a pink building. It has something written on it but I can’t read that. I sit by him. Despite being dirty, this pond is kinda calming.“You see, to our left is my school.” (Constant)He pointed to our left and

After a good night’s sleep, I woke up. I don’t even know if a night has actually passed or not but I woke up exactly when my body usually tells me to. I will assume a night has passed. Constant, my so called creator, is sleeping on his bunk. I get out of bed and look for the kitchen. But wait, this is just a white room. Does this even have a kitchen?But my question was answered. A portion opened up and I could see a kitchen like space. It has everything a normal household kitchen has.Maybe it has everything necessary and for the ingredients, I open the fridge and find everything. It has different types of meat, fish, dairy products, eggs, vegetables, all sorts of condiments and what not. Hell, even deserts were there. The fridge definitely uses spatial manipulation to store more things. I take out some eggs and bacon. I open the down drawer and find rice. Let’s have it for lunch. But now I need bread. I open the big metal door which was beside the fridge and see stairs.It leads

A few days have passed since all of those. I am back at my own house in the world I was born in. Mizuki, Mary, Selena and Nino live with me.Life has been well. I feel that my journey is over. But a sense of discomfort still lingers. Why do I feel so unsatisfied? I can’t describe this feeling. But something is amiss.Is it over? My story was such a short one. I can’t even believe it myself. The discomfort in me grows. All of them are out shopping. I am currently house-sitting. I am bored. Maybe that’s why I felt like that? I close my eyes and kinda doze of.◇◇◇◇◇“Wake up, Akatsuki.” I hear a voice. A man’s voice but it’s similar to mine. I open my eyes to find myself. Eh!! I am looking at myself.“Don’t make such a stupid face. I am not you.” The mysterious guy who looks like me says. But if he isn’t me then who is he?“This is the first time I am meeting you. You can call me whatever you want. Father, brother, god, author…anything you want. Because I am all of them.” What is th

Currently I am at my house. Mary and Mizuki have been summoned to this world as heroes. Selena came as Selene’s priestess. The Valkyries have become their guides and Medea is responsible for all of this.However, staying there was kind of uncomfortable so I teleported all of us to my house. My house is not big enough to house everyone so I expanded it with spatial magic.We are all sitting on sofas with me in the center. Mizuki and Mary are quite at me. Selene was talking to me and she sounded angry as well. Midway through, she changed with Selena. Medea is tittering and I am very tired.“Do tell me Akatsuki, what have you been doing these 5000 years?” (Selene)“It’s confusing if you keep changing with Selena. But mostly sleeping I guess. I went on a short trip after my deal was over and then came here, dug a hole and fell asleep. I woke up a few days ago when they found this place.”I point at the Valkyries. They became stiff. “So, you have been sleeping for 5000 years. Sounds total

And the day of the summoning came. As I promised, I am at the summoning point where Medea will summon them. The point is actually a platform which is inside the castle premises.I asked Medea if it was alright to come and she gave me her yes. I teleported immediately with Aisha, Belle and Leah in tow.When I finished teleporting, I was met with a small squadron of armed combatants. They were ready for something.And when I stood in the room, they pointed their spears towards me. I am tired of this. I see everyone is present. I see a gaudy chair on which a middle aged man is sitting. He has a different aura from the rest and is probably the king.He is sitting behind a big golden chair. Probably for Medea. When the king saw me, he jumped. I can see his veins bulging. I see Medea standing in the middle of a circular podium. She is smirking at me.“Medea, enough of your tricks. You clearly didn’t tell them that I was coming, did you?” She just stuck her tongue out and made an oops fac
