The Legent of the Galaxy God – Reincarnation (2)
The time of my incarnation, which appeared to be a 3D avatar, was flowing.
Seeing the newborn babies wriggling beside me besides myself, I could tell for certain that time was moving.
The 3D avatar was an ability that allowed me to control another incarnation while in the state of my main body or another incarnation.
There was no controller for controlling my incarnation, but my senses overlapped with the incarnation by about one-tenth, allowing me to control it with my will.
“Huh? Ah, it’s because I’m wrapped in a swaddle and can’t move.”
I tried to control it, but my incarnation couldn’t move.
Could I control another incarnation at the same time?
Curious about that, I used the 3D avatar on my first incarnation.
“Oh, it works simultaneously too.”
Like using a dual monitor, I could see the view of both incarnations from a bird’s-eye perspective.
Instead of the reincarnated incarnation, which couldn’t move properly, I tried moving the tower incarnation.
While lying on the bed in the lodging room, I rolled around according to my commands, then stood up and sat down.
“It looks no different from actually moving, but the sensation feels strange.”
It seemed like fighting in this state would be impossible.
The reaction was clearly slower.
Unless I was a world-class professional fighting game player, but I wasn’t particularly good at games, so it was even worse.
Still, my body would be comfortable when I needed to move far away.
It would have been convenient if I had something like a joystick controller, but when I tried controlling both with my consciousness, a sharp headache struck me.
Even though simultaneous control was possible, it seemed I couldn’t actually use it.
I put the tower incarnation back on the bed and cut off the 3D avatar.
While analyzing the 3D avatar while looking at my newborn appearance, I discovered that this ability had functions similar to videos or games.
Pause, playback, and acceleration.
Of course, even if I paused or accelerated time, it wasn’t that only my incarnation could move in that state—the entire dimension stopped together.
More precisely, it wasn’t that real time stopped or accelerated, but rather that my observation stopped or accelerated.
“From 0.001 speed up to a maximum of 1000 times speed?”
I turned on the tower incarnation’s 3D avatar again and tried moving it.
At 2x or 3x speed, it roughly reflected my will directly, but the higher the speed became, the more delay appeared in reflecting my commands.
It was only natural.
If I accelerated to 10x speed and commanded it to sit down and stand up at one-second intervals, then in the world where the incarnation existed, those commands would arrive every 10 seconds.
However, if I gave repeated commands like a macro, it carried out my orders without delay.
If I accelerated to 10x speed and ordered it to keep sitting down and standing up until I told it to stop, the incarnation continuously repeated sitting down and standing up.
“If I’m going to use acceleration, I’ll have to make the macro commands carefully.”
Of course, for a newborn baby just lying there, commands like that were completely meaningless.
“Now I understand why I was given reincarnation and the 3D avatar together.”
Without the 3D avatar, I would have had to spend several years as a newborn baby.
But thanks to the 3D avatar, I could quickly pass through those painful years.
At least until I stopped needing diapers, I decided to speed up time moderately.
I put the tower incarnation back on the bed and focused on the reincarnated incarnation.
Naturally, time was currently accelerated, and I had already entered the command: when a baby bottle was placed in my mouth, suck on it and eat the contents.
“Things like sleeping and other biological activities are performed properly without needing commands.”
The 3D avatar remained active even while the incarnation slept.
So, while sitting still in my main body state, I watched for 10 minutes at 100x speed and noticed something strange.
“Why aren’t my parents coming?”
Even if my parents had visited while I was unconscious, 10 minutes at 100x speed meant 1000 minutes had passed, which was about 16 hours and 36 minutes.
The only people who came to my reincarnated incarnation were those who looked like nurses or doctors, and I never saw any parents or guardians.
I wasn’t starting from some orphanage, and if I started in a hospital full of newborn babies, there should have been parents who gave birth to me. So why weren’t they coming to see me?
Could something have happened?
Just as I was thinking that, about 5 minutes later, after another 8 hours had passed in the incarnation’s time, a beautiful woman wearing a coat with a strange pattern engraved on the chest came to meet me.
I stopped the acceleration and focused on the sound.
The attending doctor of ‘Cheon Jiwoo,’ the son of the deceased mother, headed to the guardian waiting room after hearing that the guardian had finally arrived.
Newborn babies were vulnerable to illness, so they were kept in a sterile room, and visitors could not simply meet them whenever they wanted.
The guardian waiting room was a place where outsiders who wanted to visit the baby waited temporarily.
The attending doctor sighed when he saw a woman of unrealistic beauty wearing a coat with the emblem of the Cheon Clan on her chest.
“An android…”
At the doctor’s mutter, the woman slightly bowed her head in greeting.
“Nice to meet you. I am ‘Siwoo,’ the personal android of Cheon Joo-yu and Seo Kyung-ae.”
Androids. Unlike cyborgs, they were artificial humans created entirely from machines from beginning to end.
The characteristics of androids were somewhat unrealistic beauty and the android mark engraved faintly at the solar plexus area and temples.
The doctor could only sigh because the one who came was none other than Siwoo, an android.
It wasn’t because he held prejudice against androids.
He was simply worried about the baby’s future.
The fact that a household android, and no one else, had come meant that either the Cheon Clan or the baby’s legal guardian and paternal grandfather had little interest in the child.
On the other hand, it also meant the baby itself was receiving so little attention, so there likely wouldn’t be any trouble caused by the hospital or himself failing to save the daughter-in-law.
Of course, since the Cheon Clan was a prestigious righteous faction family representing the Galactic Martial World, they calculated that they wouldn’t create a situation that would become gossip.
However, even after doing their best, they couldn’t help but fear the unreasonable actions of powerful people driven by resentment.
He had confidently assured his subordinates that everything would be fine, but he himself had been worried inside.
Siwoo noticed the doctor’s concern and spoke.
“Please don’t worry. I know the hospital did its best. And my new master, ‘Cheon Jiwoo,’ will receive full support as a direct descendant of the family.”
Of course, if asked whether that support included love and attention as a family member, she could not answer.
The doctor relaxed after hearing Siwoo’s fluent words and nodded.
“I-Is that so? That’s a relief.”
Androids were divided into several grades. Lower-grade androids simply carried out commands like factory machines, but high-grade androids with the ‘technological singularity’ displayed emotions and intelligence to the point that they were difficult to distinguish from humans.
Because of this, unlike other androids, ‘androids using singularity technology’ were legally treated as semi-humans, and their production had many legal restrictions.
Since Siwoo was clearly an android with singularity technology at a glance, the doctor trusted her statement that the child would receive full support.
High-grade androids with singularity technology were expensive, but they were not something that could simply be purchased even with money.
If such an android had been inherited by a newborn baby who had lost both parents, then at least the child would not suffer inconvenience while growing up.
Such concern could be considered meddling, but it could also be considered the responsibility of a doctor who cared for patients.
“Also, I apologize for arriving late. It took time because I had to go through several inheritance procedures, including ‘myself.’”
“Ah, it’s fine.”
“By the way, when will my master, Young Master Cheon Jiwoo, be able to leave the hospital?”
“The examinations for the baby are not finished yet, so immediate discharge is difficult.”
Because the mother had been weakened by illness for a long time, the baby also needed several examinations.
“It will take at least another two weeks. However, there doesn’t seem to be any major health problems right now, so visits are possible.”
At the doctor’s words, Siwoo nodded and said,
“I would like to see him immediately.”
“Please follow me.”
Siwoo followed the doctor’s guidance to the newborn visitation room.
She underwent sterilization once in the visitation room.
Beyond the transparent glass window, there were several newborn babies in the nursery, and the nurse brought one of those babies—‘Cheon Jiwoo’—to the visitation room on a wheeled mobile bed.
Seeing the newborn baby who had become her new master, Siwoo bowed at the waist and greeted him.
“Nice to meet you. From today onward, I am the nanny android Siwoo, who will serve and care for Young Master on behalf of your deceased parents.”
Siwoo did not think the newborn baby could understand her words, but she exchanged greetings according to procedure.
From now on, this newborn baby was her master and the one she had to protect.
I stared at the face of ‘Siwoo,’ who introduced herself as a nanny android, and was amazed.
“Wow, she’s really pretty.”
By the way, an android?
Was it real?
A robot that lived and moved like a human actually existed.
The dimension I thought was a martial arts world was probably not a martial arts world at all, but an SF world.
“That’s strange. I definitely felt a strong destiny with the Blue Wood Sword. Did I make a mistake?”
More importantly, it wasn’t Han Jiwoo but Cheon Jiwoo.
Since I had reincarnated, I was prepared for my name to completely change, but only my surname had changed.
Did the tower adjust it?
Somehow, that feels like a violation of filial duty. If I use reincarnation one more time in the future, will I become Lü Bu, the man with three fathers?
Though in my case, all three fathers would be biological fathers, not adoptive ones.
Actually, even before Siwoo, the android, introduced herself, I already knew from the nurses’ conversations that my newly reborn self had no parents.
Nurses sure liked gossiping.
Well, what is there that they wouldn’t say in front of a newborn baby who can’t even babble properly?
The newborn room seemed to be a special place, with good security systems, so even gossiping about superiors was allowed freely.
Anyway, according to the nurses’ chatter, I didn’t know how my father died, but I was a posthumous child, and my mother, who was suffering from illness, miraculously gave birth to me before passing away.
I didn’t know whether I should think of this positively or negatively.
I would decide after I could control this body myself.
But somehow, I didn’t think it would be entirely negative.
Thinking that, I accelerated time.
After about half a month passed at 100x speed, the doctor said there were no problems with my health and called my guardian, the nanny android.
Siwoo carried me in something that looked like a pet carrier, drove a car, and headed toward the house where I would grow up.
The scenery of the streets viewed from the 3D perspective was quite advanced. Some cars rolled on wheels, while others floated in the air.
The buildings in the city were lined with skyscrapers, and after leaving the downtown area a little, a residential area appeared with luxurious detached houses surrounded by gardens that clearly looked like a wealthy neighborhood.
“Looks like I was reborn as the young master of a rich family.”
And not just any rich family.
