《The Second Life of a Reborn Bookworm》 Death is but a new Beginning Blood entered my eyes after I had stabbed him in the throat with my pencil, I was dying with six inch knife in my gut. My only regret was me not killing the trash before he had gave a severe head wound to my mom. Her belly was bulging from her pregnancy with my unborn little sis. chough Vomiting up blood as my vision dimmed I wished I could have seen my little sis growing up and being her big bro. I guess I will not have that chan Darkness, warmth, and wetness surrounded me. I guess this is death, funny I thought death resulted in either eternal flaming tormenting, or if you are somebody good, living up in the sky among clouds and behind golden gates. Maybe its purgatory? Eehhh. I . seem to be . falling into slumber. Light, sounds other then that repeated da-bump, da-bump. Huh, why are there giants around me? Wait, no theyre not big, Im small! ???? pass over my child you two. A woman? As the two men turned me around (one had some really odd pointed ears and dyed hair) I saw the second woman I would call mother for my foreseeable future. Snow-white hair and pale skin, with blood red reptilian eyes that could cause even the bravest man to shudder, six jet black horns with two looking like a big horn sheeps horn and the other four like an goats. A face like a sculptures and a models body to match it, finally with a devilish black tail that swung around in the air. 10 years past by I acted like a normal child during my infancy or I tried to at any rate. My new mother was called Snow Pendragon and she named me Yggdrasil Pendragon with me taking her surname as my own, she also had two husbands an elf and a human. Supposedly one was my father though whenever I asked they kind of skirted the question. My race took after my mom''s I was born a Incubus/Dragon hybrid with the infliction of vampirism. I had thought me being a vampire would result in me being nocturnal regardless of whether I wanted to or not, but luckily my nature as an Incubus counteracts my weakness to the sun and light based magic in general. I often spent my spare time curled up in a corner with a good book and read many informational ones as well. Interestingly, the culture was not matriarchal as I had initially thought, instead it was based more on merit. Typically a person that had high talent and/or achievements became a noble for helping the country, never because you born the child of a noble. Furthermore marriages were based on love with the stronger or higher ranking gender becoming the harem king/queen and multiple people of the opposite gender. Meaning my mother was the one with higher merit in the marriage. One of the most astonishing things I discovered that this world is a sub-dimension to Earth, and the portals entrance was suprisingly positioned in Area 51 of the continental United States. I had fallen out of my favorite chair I was sitting in at the time. Afterwards I had asked my mother about Earth acting like I had never heard of it before, much less living my previous life on the planet. My mother then practically beamed at my question and went on like a excited puppy that found a new playmate Son, Earth is an interesting place with many stories, an equally advanced technology, and yet no magic known to most humans. Their bigger governments know about the sub dimensions like ours and many try to establish friendly connections with those that live in them. Humans are the only publicly known sentient species there but some other species live there undercover as part of a cultural learning program among other things. Our realm is in relations with the United States Government as equals, not superiors. We the proud people of the empire of Aurora did not want to conquer their land nor did we want to colonize them. So we opened diplomatic relations with them. I myself am the chief diplomat in charge of relations with them! Later I had asked about if I could go to the U.S. sometime, and she told me to focus on my illusion magic along with my shape shifting magic too. If I did that and could transform instantly into a human appearance, I could not only go but also live there if I wanted to. One of the things I could never get used to was how magic and technology worked hand in hand as part of everyday life. I myself was training my body since practically infancy so it could handle more mana and store it. I did this under a supervised Spartan training schedule made by my mom. As far as illusion magic went I had increased my skill to encompass the ability to fool my opponents as to where I was. My shape shifting magic on the other side of the spectrum was rather poor with the only form I had trained was the human one but it took time to do, a possible risk neither me nor my mother would allow in a situation where I need to be able to appear human at any time. Of course besides my default and human forms I could transform into my dragon form and a bat form as well thanks to my innate racial attributes. But I had yet at the time to instantly be able to switch between my normal form with the red dragon eyes and whatnot to my human form. Yet today after all that practice I had finally been able to do so. The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation. My mother seeing the transformation was rather proud looking and causally stated now that you have mastered transforming into a human appearance you will go to your distant tenth cousin Aria Pendragon in Virginia, she lives nearby an town called Lune with no one to keep her company so she would make a great teacher for what you need to know. (Lucky!, I had worried that I would not have been able to visit my first moms grave and pray for her to rest in peace. Instead my temporary guardian actually lives in the same place! Should I be worried it seems to be too convenient?) My New Ridiculously Perverted “Onee-chan”- Chp 2. (Authors note: Sozu-that bamboo pipe hitting the basin with water in it, you can see it in certain anime, also sorry this chapter was late and will soon make another chap later this next Tuesday) Ehhh?? Hold on am I in the wrong place, or country? In front of me was a mansion that was built in a Japanese style with a garden around the structure. The only real difference was how the walls used a white painted wood rather then the paper screen ones. A six foot tall cobble wall surrounded the home and had vine plants growing off of it. Sounds of a tinkling of some wind chimes reached my ears only to be broken by the sound of a sozu. The occasional bronze lantern hung under the roofing that covered the walkways. After reading the bronze plate with the address listed on it and comparing it to the paper that my mother gave me listing the address but, to my dismay I found that they matched no matter how many times I read it. ???? Oh, it looks like you are already here Hearing the causal tone of voice from right behind me I literally leapt around three meters into the air. Once gravity took proper course I started falling somehow in a belly flop position only to feel the collar of my shirt being grabbed and yanked in an circular fashion. The next thing I new my face was being smothered in something warm and soft. ???? You are even more adorable then what Auntie told me about! At this point between the dawning realization of where I was located and the lack of oxygen my brain was getting, it was getting difficult to form a coherent thought. ???? Im your -dragon are.. okay?.... Waking up in unfamiliar room I saw a sexy looking beauty in a midnight blue yukata with crimson red hair, six black horns and eyes like my mothers looking at me with worry. The lady cried Im so sorry! I thought I was being all cuddly but.. but I had been suffocating you instead. Wahhh! Seeing how she worried about me, somehow I couldnt help trying to comfort her. I hugged her and used my most calming voice I could as I told her Its alright, you did not mean to do suffocate me. Looking around the room I noticed the entire floor of the room was one bed with set of double doors that seemed to be made for somewhat larger species to be able to simply walk in. The entrance itself was roughly eight feet tall and eight feet wide with the bed being much larger, having an area of around sixteen feet by sixteen feet with enough headroom for even a centaur to stand up on four legs. After around five minutes or so of hugging she seemed to calm down and sat back down on the mattress a slight distance away from me. The lass I assumed to be my cousin Aria looked like she was fairly embarrassed, blushing as she apparently re-introduced herself as my cousin only to start listing some of the basic house rules:
