The temperature is typically comfortable, neither too hot nor too cold, making it pleasant to be outside. The air feels fresh and crisp, with perhaps a hint of floral scents.

The natural beauty and favorable conditions contribute to a positive, vibrant, and fulfilling daily life.

Even though they aren't as large as the other clans beyond the mountain scapes, big clans tends to search for a peaceful means of trade with them.

The brightvale clan is a clan that lives prosperously but can't be taken over by bigger clans, due to weariness of being attacked by other clans who are all benefitting from the brightvale clan or by the four countries surrounding the clan.

There lived a family who are in the lower class of the three classes of the food chain in the world. The name of the family is called the Vales, named after the clan's name brightvale. This particular family are a distant descendant of the major family that rules the clan the brightvales, they are more like an outcast but not a total outcast for known reasons.

Mark Vale and Zipporah Vale has been married for the past ten years with no offspring, they had tried everything they could but all to no avail.

The Vales lived in a small and manageable house that was situated on the outskirt of the clan, they brightvale clan is situated at a place far away from the surrounding countries and being protected by the mountains itself, if looked through a map, it stands unclaimed and abandoned by the countries surrounding it. It is more of a borderland of four different countries. It is a place where only people who couldn't afford the high life of the other big clans and countries could be seen, they lived happily with each other.

They enjoyed freedom from direct rule from government of the other countries, no taxe and demands from bigger clans or the surrounding countries unlike other lower class settlements. The bigger clan's are weary of taking over the clan so as not to face the wrath of the countries, while each countries, puts each other in checks when dealing with the clan.

Mark Vale is a strong entity that duly protects the small village he resides in within the clan, he saved the village several times from the attacks of beasts, he leads his small group of solo awakened adventurers to several missions so as to aid the village. Beasts that can't be handled by him and his group are taken care of by the clan or by bigger clans who renders help when called for, just to be in the good side of brightvales clan.

On a faithful day, Zipporah fainted. Which wasn't a common sight because she is an awakened, though she is at the middle stage of the amateur rank. A stage where few lower class awakened reaches, she was attended to by an old physician in her mid sixties. The Vale couple is well respected even among the people in the village due to her husband who is the guardian of the swamp part of the clan's outskirt.

He's the only peak expert rank awakened in the swamp area and also one of the strongest awakened after the chief in the area. Zipporah was rushed to the village's clinic and was diagnosed , they ended up getting to know that she was pregnant. The joy of the Vales knew no bound, they celebrated with the little they had, Mark treated his wife like a queen, and made sure she doesn't over work herself.

Even though he was a strong entity outside the clans direct rule, he was valued as a warrior protecting the swamp areas. He could have been under the direct rule while enjoying the opportunities people at his level enjoys, but he rejected all and settled in that small vilage.

He decided to join the guild adventurers association directly under the clan, so as to make more money to cater for his wife and unborn kid. Zipporah got attended to by the village's physician. Things got more hard for them because she began to consume more than normal.

Mark was forced to take more adventural request from the guild, he sometimes goes for days while leaving zipporah in the care of the village physician.

..........

During all the happenings, the young man who found himself in the void the second time was furious again.

"Here I am again, being sent into a void, is this how my said new life is going to be??."

But he noticed he could feel things. The feeling of the void was different from the feeling he is presently having. Though unlike the void where he could spread his consciousness wide and thin, he couldn't do that now, he was limited to only sensing his surrounding, without being able to move or explore at a wider scope. He stayed dormant for a long time before going through some strange changes.

.......

Outside in the real world, on a beautiful day, the cloud suddenly changed. A partial solar eclipse occured, which was strange. The large part of the sun was obscured by the moon which suddenly came out during the day, while the part of the sun that wasn't obscured shine brighter than normal.

That same day, the Vale family welcomed a new member in their midst, a male child was born into the Vale family.

After enduring his consciousness being dormant for six months, going through the stages of fertility, evolution and birth before becoming unsealed and born into a new world. When he woke up....

He experience a significant transition from the warm, dark, and relatively quiet environment of the womb to the outside world. Experiencing the dramatic shift from the consistent warmth of the womb to the cooler air outside, his lungs which seems new and strange to him inflates for the after a long time spent without one, which was a little bit startling and an uncomfortable sensation as he takes his first breaths.

The sensation of being handled, clothed, and the touch of different textures was entirely new and overwhelming. He felt the soft and harmless breeze caress his soft skin, the sensation of gravity, and potentially the feeling of hunger and the need for nourishment struck him.

As if that was not enough, as he tried to open his eyelids after a long time, a bright light accompanied with the various sounds of joy filled the air, the light penetrating through the window of the small building where the baby and his mother were being taken care of struck his moderate deep blue eyes, making him squint.

"Damn it, where the hell am I again. Why the hell is the sun striking my eyes... don't tell me...." He shouted but all that came out were mere cries of a new born.

He raised his delicate limb and used his small palm to shield his eyes from the sunlight.

" I am being born and thrown away for the sun to smith me??" Fear gribbed his petite heart at that thought.

He tried to shout for help but all that came out were mere cries of a new born.

'Doom'

He thrashed around trying to move his body to at least study his surrounding, but before he could do so and fall off the small bed he was placed on. A soft hand carried him and began to caress him tenderly.

The soft palm of a woman caressed his rosy cheeks and cuddled him, to his surprise, his body relaxed as if recognizing the woman, he could sense a deep connection new him and the woman.

' Really, is this the feeling of being cuddled by your mother??'

'Was this how I felt when I had my first mother??'

'I hope this last, no. I'll make it last. I won't lose you no matter what.'

He clenched his small fist tightly while staring intently at the beautiful woman cuddling him.

"Awwn, someone is so curious about his mother, what are you thinking in that small head of yours??" The woman said and giggled while poking his rosy cheek.

He continued staring intently at her until his tummy made a grumbling sound.

"Oh this little guy is hungry, let's feed him before he starts yelling again. " The woman said go him as she unbuttoned her light blue top and proceeded to feed him.

A smile plastered on her face when she noticed his hesitancy.

'No no no, I don't want that.....I am an adult, that will taste awful.' he screamed in his head, but to his dismay, his body moved on his own not listening to his constant scream.

Before he knew it, his mouth opened wide and he was being fed by the beautiful woman.

' This life better be good and welcoming.'
