3 Chapter 3 I Got The Power!
As his mother sang him a lullaby song, something rang from Hujarar’s pocket. It sounded like a cellphone.
His father put his hand inside a pocket and pull out a phone with the naked picture of his mother on the lock screen.
He immediately covered it with his hand and made sure no one saw that, but it was clearer than the Nile river itself.
‘Come on, bro. I know she is your wife but why do you have her naked picture as a lock screen.’
Aldred started to question if his family were truly normal or not.
Oh wait, they weren’t normal in the first place.
Hujarar looked at the phone and clicked his tongue in annoyance. “Tech support, how may I help you?”
Pffft. Aldred couldn’t hold it and gave out a baby giggle which surprised his mother.
“Stop playing with me,” an old voice came from the phone. “I am sure I called the right number.”
“New phone, who dis?”
“Hujarar! I know your voice like the moan of my wife! So don’t play any game with me.”
Pfft! Aldred laughed again which surprised Eve even more.
Hujarar then snapped his fingers and then the magical wind blew around the phone. “It’s a whole storm out here. Sorry but I think you can call at another time. And I am running out of data too. Oh, my battery is going zero.”
He then turned off the call. Hujarar sighed.
Eve looked at her husband and smiled. “The gods are calling again?”
“Yeah. They really love to pester us like a bunch of old men. It makes me want to kill them.”
“Hujarar, no. You promised that we will live a happy and peaceful life.”
“I know, dear.” He approached her and kissed her forehead. “Old habits die hard.”
Aldred flinched. ‘Is killing god your habit or something?’
“Also, dear, I think our little Aldred can understand us.”
“What? He’s only four months old.”
Hujarar approached him and looked at him in the eye. “Can you understand us?”
Aldred blinked and then giggled like a normal baby. “Eyah! Gugu Gaga!”
He wanted to enjoy his time as a baby. If they knew he could understand them, who knew what they would do.
When he grew up, he would like to go on an adventure, kill beasts and collect harems, but for now, he would like to enjoy his moments with both of his parents.
It would be such a fun adventure! After all, he has so many powers that he could use.
“I think he wants to sleep,” Eve said. “Come. Let us return to your bed.”
His mother sweetly looked at him and fondled her small nose with her own. They return to the floating castle, and Eve strode to the bedroom.
Once again, a warm heavenly liquid entered his throat as his mother sweetly looked at him. It was in direct contrast with his past mother who didn’t even bother to look at him when talking.
Aldred smiled inside. ‘What a great family. This is the thing I have dreamt of for twenty grueling years.’
Afraid of tiring his mother, Aldred pretended he was asleep. Eve noticed that his little baby boy was already fast asleep, so she put him in his own small bed boxed by wooden fences.
“He’s quick to sleep,” Hujarar said.
Aldred snored.
“Oh, look at our little baby snoring. don’t you think that’s cute?” Hujarar said.
Then Aldred opened his eyes and closed them again.
Eve giggled. “It seems like our baby is not fully asleep yet. Why don’t we play some toys for him?”
Hujarar smiled. “That’s a good idea.”
Aldred raised an eyebrow. ‘What are they trying to do?’
When he slightly opened his eyes, Aldred was shocked at what he saw. His parents did something… childish yet wonderful.
“Brooom!” Hujarar moved a car toy in the air as he made a car noise in his mouth.
Eve giggled and raised her hand. A couple of airplanes flew around. They glowed and left a sparkling trails of stars. Suddenly, Hujarar summoned small planets, and galaxies on the ceilings. And then a tiny Ctulhu appeared devouring the planets around it. Space ships came from the planets and attacked the monsters. So many things happened at once, and Aldred watched in wonder and amazement.
Aldred wanted to close his eyes and get some sleep, but he couldn’t. The sight was just too good to pass for.
After a few hours, Aldred thought his mom and dad might get tired, so Aldred pretended to sleep immediately.
“Our boy has fallen asleep,” Hujarar said.
“It seems that he liked our little magic show. We should do it more often.”
The door opened and his big sister caught both his mom and dad playing with toys.
“Is Aldred awake?” Dina asked.
“He’s asleep,” Hujarar said before all the planets and galaxies on the ceiling disappeared.
‘Magic is very convenient,’ Aldred thought. He looked at his sister and wanted her attention. Aldred pretended to cry to make his bigs sister come to him. “Uwaa!”
“Awhh, you pitiful little baby boy.” His big sister approached and brought him to her chest. “There, there. Come and play with big sister.”
She strode out and Aldred cried as his big sister brought him to her room. She put him on her bed and tucked his body with a warm blanket. “Ohh, you’re such a cutie. Mom and dad is too cruel to keep you away from me.”
She then rained his face with kisses. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
Aldred was overwhelmed. He likes being kissed by a beautiful, busty girl, but even this was too much. He even thought he might die from the lack of oxygen.
She stopped and looked at him with a sweet smile. “Mom and dad is so happy to have you. I as your big sister will surely protect you, after all, that is why they adopted me.”
Aldred was surprised. His big sister was adopted? Then why did she look so similar to his mother? ‘It was probably face-changing magic or something. Anything can happen in this fantasy world.”
Time passed and Aldred was now six months old.
After spending time with his family every day, Aldred found something that he wanted to do. He wanted to become stronger just like them and lead an easy and fun life.
It was so cool to see his mother, father, and sister throwing cool spells in the air. He wanted to do that too.
But for that, he needed to learn, and the only place he could learn right now was through books.
Aldred climbed one of the wooden bookshelves and randomly grabbed one of the books. It was called ‘World Devouring Flame’.
He didn’t know how he could understand all of this, in fact, he didn’t even know how he understood his parents’ language.
Though, he couldn’t speak yet, which was not surprising.
[World Devouring Flame]
The world shall be consumed by fire. Train this skill to the peak and you will be the sovereign of flame.
‘Cool!’
If he learn this he would be as powerful as his father. With the blessing of the god, surely he could learn this in no time.
[Learning Failed. Insufficient Level]
‘Level?’
—-
[Aldred]
Level: 1
Titles: Depressed baby
Power:
History: A depressed and sad soul reincarnated into a baby of a powerful demon king. This baby also loves to see their parents having fun.

‘Hey, what the hell! Why does my history sound like a loser.’
‘And where is my power? I am sure I got a bunch of blessings. What was it called again? Divine dimension?”
Suddenly, everything went bright and Aldred entered some kind of dark place.
‘I need some lights. It’s too dark in here.”
And there was light, an orb shining in the sky, then Aldred realized that he was floating uncontrollably.
‘Ahh! I need to touch the ground!’
And there was ground under his feet.
‘Wow. Everything follows my wishes. This place needs more ground. It’s too empty.’
The space around him turned into an expansive world. The sun shone in the sky and all around him was a flat dirt ground.
‘Nice. Now give it some variety like grass, river, and other stuff.’
Grass and trees grew out of the ground, making everything green, and then the earth split apart with a large hole before the water filled it up from down below and then flowed into the distance.
He then willed the world to plant some seeds and it quickly grew, not in an instant, but it was quite fast. He grew some good-looking stuff like corn, radishes, and tomato. He also grew some fruits. He didn’t actually want to eat them, he did it just to make his space look beautiful. He would consider this as a second home or something where he might spend his alone time.
He covered the sky with a blue atmosphere and a lot of clouds. It was amazing.
“Haha! I got the power!” He willed for the world to make rainbows explode in the sky.
It was so colorful and fantastic like watching a fireworks show in the new year, but much more amazing.
Aldred was so excited. But then he still saw some empty space in the distance. ‘Hey add more stuff to that.’
[Insufficient Level]
‘Oh… It gave the same notification about the book too. How many levels do I need to expand the space?’
[Level 10 required expanding space by 10 meters]
‘Then how much for the book?’
[Level 100 required to learn ‘World Devouring Flame’ skill]
‘Crap! I need a hundred level for that? That’s too much! How do I increase my level anyway?’
<Exp: 0/100>
‘Ahh. I see where this is going.’ Aldred had read tons of similar novels just like this. This was the part where he went for an adventure and leveled up as many times as possible.
‘But I still want to enjoy some time with my family.’
[Divine Dimension: Monster Dungeon]
‘Shit! Here we go again.’
