Turmoil after Being Born
Just when I thought the white world had passed, a pitch-black world awaited me.
And what I feel is the physical inconvenience...
I tried to move around, but I couldn't move well......
I tried to raise my voice, but the words that came out were not words......
"Ogya!"
I see. I was reincarnated, so I started as a baby.
Does that mean I'm currently wrapped in a swaddle...
Little by little, when I put pressure on my eyelids, light shines through.
And the first sight I saw after coming to this world was...
An old woman's face with full of wrinkles and she was staring at me intently.
Not good... I thought my heart was going to stop...
I burst into tears.
Forgive me for being a baby......
"How's it going! Felticia! Where's my wife? And the child? Are they safe!"
When the old woman was called out, she put me down.
Beside me, I can feel her labored breathing.
When I leaned in that direction, I saw a young woman breathing heavily with a very pale face.
I quickly used my [God's Eye] to appraise her.
This is not good......
This person is definitely my mother, and her HP and MP are on the edge. In other words, she's in bad shape after giving birth.
Furthermore, she also suffers from an abnormal status [Magic Deficiency].
For now, I have to give her healing magic and mana as soon as possible!
I desperately took my hand out of the swaddle and placed my hand on my mother's cheek.
As soon as I was born, I used recovery magic...
Is that alright? I thought, but when I put the mana into my hand, the mana flowed smoothly.
However, this does not activate recovery magic.
The procedure of recovery magic flowed in my mind.
First, convert the mana to light attribute, and then connect it to heal......
Yep. It went well!
A pale green light flows from my hand towards my mother.
Even with [God's Eye], HP is being recovered, albeit little by little. It will be painful, but MP and magic deficiency will come a little later.
For now, the first priority is to avoid the life-threatening situation.
"What!? What is this! Felticia! Explain!"
The old man has been noisy since a while ago.
So this is my father......
There's a new born baby, so please lower your voice a little.
"I would like to apologize to you, my lord. Your wife is in a very critical condition. In addition to the amount of blood lost due to childbirth, she is also magic deficient. However, fortunately, the child she gave birth to has healing magic skills. Right now, healing magic is flowing from your child's hands to your wife. This is a miracle!"
This old woman... does she have an appraisal?
Ah! Yeah. She has appraisal and midwifery skills.
Another thing I'm curious about is the title [Sage of the Barony]...
In short, she's my father's (lord's) advisor, right?
"What! Is that true!? He was born with recovery magic..."
The old woman looked at me seriously again and told my father.
"Thank you very much. But that is not all. In addition to recovery magic, he was born with an appraisal skill and already has the same amount of MP as an adult."
It seems that my father is at a loss for words...
"Maybe the reason why your wife had a difficult birth this time is because this child has a considerable amount of MP. Judging from his skills and amount of MP, he may have the talent to become a [Hero Vessel]."
[Hero Vessel]…? What are you talking about? This old woman.
"I never thought that someone who could become a [Hero Vessel] would be born in my family..."
Huh? What are you shocked about?
Isn't the situation bad?
"Then I need to contact the church... I guess we have no choice but to ask them to take him in......"
Ehh... are you going to suddenly throw me into the church...?
For me, the church is my enemy...
"Please wait, my lord. It is not a good idea to separate this child from your wife now. Although the child has used heal, tonight is still a critical period. Besides, even if things stabilize, there will still be the aftereffects of a lack of mana. Please do not separate your child away from your wife for at least a week.''
"Can't you do something about it? If it's a lack of mana, can't we just give her a mana potion?"
"No. The magic deficiency is caused by the lack of mana at once. The mana potion is a good way to prevent the child from getting sick. The lack of mana can only be cured if the mana flows slowly and in small amounts over time."
"Hmm... Understood. In that case, let's see how things go for a week. Then we'll go to the church..."
Then the old woman quickly added.
"I don't think you should contact the church. I can tell you this because I myself was once a member of the church. The church is a terrible place to leave a child. Even if he comes of age successfully, at best he will be a pawn of the church, at worst he will be brainwashed and become a puppet of the church. Hopefully, it would be best for this little child to stay with his family."
Apparently, this old woman does not have good feelings about the church. And her offer is very much appreciated.
I don't want to go to the church either.
"This is an advice from the sage... I can't take it lightly. I understand. In a week, I will hold a family meeting. I'll ask you to be present at the meeting and come to a conclusion..."
After saying that, my father left the room.
After bowing to his back, the old woman sat deeply in the chair next to the bed where my mother and I were lying.
"Seriously... I never thought I would receive an oracle at this age..."
She is talking to herself...
Then she leans in from her chair to my face and starts talking to me.
"I have heard about you from God. He has told me never to leave you with the church. I'll make sure we're on the same page at our meeting in a week."
With these words, the old woman sat down again, this time deeper in her chair.
It seems that Evil God-san was somehow involved. Thank you, Evil God-san.
Thanks for the chapter
