I JUST WANT A PEACEFUL LIFE



'At least I no longer fear using Heritage Chi.' thought Angus inwardly

'Still, I didn't expect my reincarnation to be the aftereffect of the Heritage Chi.' thought Angus deeply.

Ever since he knows about souls and spirits in this world, Angus always wants to learn more about his reincarnation. In fact, some part of him even fears that he is somehow stealing the body from the innocent baby. Now, he no longer worries about it.

He may not know much about the reincarnation cycle, but there are some concepts about this in his past world. Basically, a soul will be reincarnated into a newborn baby after getting through the reincarnation cycle.

As for the criteria of which soul gets reincarnated or how it works, no one knows as it is believed to be the domain of God. Still, it means Angus didn't steal his current body from an innocent baby but truly reincarnated into this body.

While Angus thinks about Heritage Chi and his reincarnation, Jayna lies on his side, playing with Anna's silky hair. In contrast, the little monster peacefully slept while hugging her beloved fluffy ball.

After making sure Anna falls into a deep sleep, 'Angus… I.. I don't think I am worthy of Anna's mother. I failed.' said Jayna through their bond.

Hearing this, Angus didn't reply, only glancing at Jayna. Angus sends his own feeling about the matter and calms Jayna.

'Jayna, you may think you are worthless or just a burden for us. But you are actually our most important person. Without you, I may already be lost in the way of power or become a nerd inside an impenetrable bunker. Without you, Anna also will not become like now.' said Angus.

'You must have realized it when we met the other monster-minded people. Those people are very unrestrained and not afraid of everything. Anna also liked that in the past, but now she is more restrained and knows which thing should not be done.' added Angus.

'She will not become like this if it is not because of you and me. She knows what love is and to be loved. She is our daughter. Did you not want Anna to be your daughter?' asked Angus.

'No!! Anna is my daughter. From now on and forever, she will always be my cute beautiful daughter.' replied Jayna resolutely.

'Then, you don't have to worry about anything.' said Angus.

Jayna stays silent and embraces Angus before her deepest thought is revealed to Angus. Knowing this, Angus couldn't help but surprise.

'Jayna, are you sure about it?' asked Angus worriedly.

'Yes. Anna's physical strength is too ridiculous for a teenager or even monster-minded people. None of those people have the same strength as Anna. At first, I thought Anna was special since she was supposed to be their Queen.'

'But… When I got angry and unable to control my fire today, Anna didn't dodge or defend herself like the others. She just let the fire cover her before absorbing it. I only know one race that could withstand that phoenix fire and have ridiculous physical strength.' said Jayna.

'It is Nateobil race, the nemesis of phoenix. In the ancient language, Nateobil means the flame devourer. According to the Fire Phoenix memory, they are a race that leaves their younglings near the phoenix habitat hoping for them to be adopted by the phoenixes.'

'As they grow, they will slowly devour the phoenix fire essence until the phoenix dies.

'Moreover, Nateobil will start to produce their own flame similar to their phoenix's mother and even get all the abilities of the phoenix that they devour. This is also one factor that drives phoenix to near extinction.'

'In one of my incomplete memories, I remember Fire Phoenix led the remaining phoenixes to hunt and kill all Nateobil race to extinction.' said Jayna with mixed feelings.

'I see… So, what are you going to do now?' asked Angus.

'Nateobil is a very vicious beast. Their youngling somehow could influence the phoenix's maternal instinct. All the phoenixes will always want to care for them even if it costs their lives unless they know Nateobil's true nature from the start.' stated Jayna.

Hearing this, Angus didn't comment and just looked at his lover. He already knows about this particular race from one of the Fire Phoenix's incomplete memories.

After staying silent for a moment, 'I don't know if it is the influence of Nateobil's ability or not. But I can't and don't want to abandon Anna. We are already deeply connected. Even.. Even in the end, she will devour me. I will not hesitate to give my life to her.' said Jayna.

'I know… You probably disagree with me. But, to make Anna stronger and protect her life, I will gladly give it to her.' said Jayna.

Angus didn't reply. He just stayed silent, looking at the ceiling. He also didn't share any of his thoughts with Jayna. Seeing this, Jayna feels like she is getting stabbed by a cold dagger. Once again, she feels like making another wrong decision.

All this time, Angus always supported her so they could be together. Yet, Jayna said she would not hesitate to sacrifice her life for Anna. In fact, Angus didn't know how to respond to this problem. On the one hand, Jayna is his lover and on the other is his adopted beloved daughter.

Putting in such a difficult situation makes Angus release a deep sigh and remember one of his bitter memories from his past life.

"*Burp* Oii… Angus!! Where the *Burp* hell that wild disciple go? *Burp*." said the drunk man.

"Old man, I am here beside you." replied the young Angus.

"Hahh?!! *Burp* Ohh.. You are here. Why don't you say so, stupid disciple?!" said the drunk man before slapping Angus casually.

Receiving the slap, the young Angus immediately takes his stance and redirects the force to the ground. *Crack* The hard stone floor cracks under Angus' skill while his face is swollen from the slapping impact.

"Fuck you, old fool!! Just shut…" said young Angus before getting thrown by the drunk man out of nowhere.

After throwing Angus, "Huh?! Why are *Burp* you hopping around like a bunny? Anyway, *Burp* I have this *Burp* stupid question." said the drunk man.

"Between the lover and your child, which one will you be saved first?" The drunk man spoke clearly despite still getting drunk.

"Urgh.. between lover and child. Hmm… Lover.. No, it should be the child. But…" muttered young Angus as he fell into deep contemplation.

During this time, the drunk man suddenly appeared in front of Angus.

"Pfft… Hahahaha… Look at you, a muscle brain trying to use his brain. Huakakaka…" laughed the drunk man loudly.

Pissed off by his drunk master, Angus tries to kill this drunkard. Suddenly, an invisible wave erupted from the drunk man. A moment later, the young Angus was deeply embedded on the floor as most of his bones cracked.

"My wild disciple, you are too weak. That's the reason why you are thinking. Hahahaha…" laughed the drunk man before walking away unsteadily.

"Even after death, that stinky drunkard still pretends to be a teacher. Huft…" sighed Angus before looking at Jayna and kissing her forehead gently before kissing the sleeping Anna.

"Don't worry, you should sleep now. Anna needs you at your best tomorrow. Leave this matter to me." reassured Angus to Jayna.

Jayna wanted to say more but found she couldn't say anything. Now, she feels like going back to their academy days. She couldn't do anything but rely on Angus to break her Fate. She thought she was already strong enough to break it, but it was just an illusion in her eyes.

She always relies on Angus in everything. Some part of her feels like being burdened. However, she also feels glad and happy that Angus will always be there in her darkest moment.

After brushing her messed up and negative thoughts, she sleeps while hugging her beloved Anna beside Angus.

Meanwhile, a clicking button sound is heard from inside the darkroom at one of the buildings in the Undermine Council. In this dark room, two people look intensely at the bright monitor in front of them.

"Fuck!! Fuck!! And... Headshot!! Triple kill!! That's what I mean! Hahaha…" laughed one of the people in the room after throwing the device in his hand.

The man has an obese figure with fat covering most of his body. Moreover, his body produces sweat and oily grease. If Angus looks at the person, he will be considered a stereotypical 'otaku' from his past life transmigrated here.

This is basically the worst appearance for human aesthetics. Moreover, the dark room is littered with many leftover food across the floor. In contrast to the Fat Man, the other person is a clean, neat silver-haired girl sitting on the flying pillow without expression.

Despite being famous for being hygienic, she still stays in this dirty room with the Fat Man. This girl is Mira, Master of Hidden in the Dark. On the other hand, the Fat Man is one of the monster-minded people called Mitar the Fatass.

Although the two people have very contrasting appearances and attitudes, one thing is similar between them. Both of them are sitting on top of a flying pillow.
