"They? What do you know about this topic?”
I took a breath, ready to give her a very brief lesson.
"Long story short, each race stems from a male and female primordial, who mated to create the first mortals of their species. They’re the forefathers and mothers, or progenitors if you will. However, humanity drew the short end of the stick when they got Thyra, a woman whose first act after birthing a few babies was to leave Iskaris and travel to see the world, and Malakar, who was busy doing
I paused, trying to wreck my brain in search of memories where my mothers or someone else told me what he was up to. All I knew about his younger years was that he was the one who killed the first male elf due to feeling insulted by him.
With that memory in mind, I continued, “I don’t even know what. He was probably off fighting other primordials and their people, I heard he was quite rowdy as a youth. Anyhow. Because both the female and male progenitors were crazy fuckers, humanity was left to fend for itself instead of being guided by their immortal hands. Hence, they were cave-dwelling primitives for the longest time. It’s a miracle they weren’t wiped off the face of Thalorind by their neighbors. Somehow, despite their parents being cosmic disappointments, humans scraped their way up. Honestly? I say you guys deserve an award.”
Vex stared at me with utter dumbfoundment visible in her eyes. My summarized history of humanity didn’t paint my fellow human primordials in the best of light. Now that I think about it, perhaps the other human primordials were created because these two were so dysfunctional that humanity would’ve perished without others taking over the mantle of leading them.
"You’ve gotta be kidding me!!” She shouted in utter disbelief, drawing many eyes from the bystanders as we walked down the streets of the capital city with her still lodged in my arms, draped over my shoulder. I didn’t particularly care if someone overheard us, because the tale I was spinning was so damned insane that any normal person would’ve thought I was telling her fantasy stories.
"I’m not.”
I don’t believe you one bit, but I’ll entertain your story for a moment. So does that mean you’re a progenitor too?”
"Yes, though I don’t have children- scratch that. Since Rosie was born of my sperm, she’s my biological daughter in a sense. So, yes, I’m the human progenitor, whose offspring will be linked back to him.”
"I see… How do you know so much anyhow? Were you born innately with this knowledge, like how the dragons are rumored to be, inheriting memories from their mothers while in their womb? Or… Did you meet other primordials who told you this?!”
"So
The rest of our trip was spent chatting amicably, telling her the realities of her existence. I also told her about how she’ll be seriously judged by my two primordial mommies about her motherhood worthiness score once I see them again, which should be soon, as I was level 39 with a fully maxed XP bar, so I let her know she should be on her best behavior.
I was then accused of being an indecent pervert exhibitionist who shows off his most intimate moments to his parents like a weirdo, to which I just shook my head and ignored her words because I realized that she was totally right.
Truth be told, my relationship with my biological parents was vastly different from the one I share with Miri and Lumi. Somehow, I don’t have any inhibitions when it comes to speaking to my primordial mothers. I feel no shame whatsoever admitting to my most heinous actions. Telling them about my love life while showing them erotic memories at the same time doesn’t even make me blink.
It feels all natural to me. Must be my primordial brain’s effects on my mindset… Or it’s just easy to open up to those two. They’re certainly very open-minded and non-judgmental. If I told the same stuff I did to them to my biological parents… Well… Let’s just say that the reception wouldn’t be pretty.
I hadn’t exactly been the bestest of boys over here.
"Oh! Is that you, Verdia? Is everything all right? You’re not being… taken advantage of, right?” A sudden voice sounded, belonging to a concerned elderly lady. She was watering her flowers outside the gates of some big mansion.
"Hehe, no, I’m fine, Matilda! It’s just that, apparently, I have horrible taste in men… For some odd reason, I fell for this arrogant thug.”
"Hoho, it’s not hard to see why, dear. This esteemed gentleman seems to be a real… Ehem… Workhorse… A lot of younger ladies are into handsome bad boys like your lover. I bet he’s a real ladies’ man.”
"You guessed it right, Matilda!! He has so many chicks around him that I can’t even count them on my fingers!” Vex cried with droppy eyes, acting as if I was some womanizing scumbag.
"Oh Dear… I know it would be rather embarrassing, but can’t you call this… ‘date off? Sharing a man with so many women will be hard on your gentle heart… You’ll be competing for his attention your whole life. That’s no way to live for a lovely girl like you.”
"Heh! If he dares not give me the attention I deserve, I’ll beat him up!”
"Good, good,” the elderly woman nodded many times.
I had to speak up, for this was getting ridiculous. “Ladies, can you stop gossiping while I’m here? At least have the decency to wait for me to leave.”
"Oh, someone’s getting impatient the old hag grumbled under her breath with a chuckle.
"Told you he’s an arrogant thug! But it seems we’ll have to finish this conversation later… See you, Matilda!”
"Have fun, girl the old hag grinned.
And with that, we’d arrived at Vex’s home. It was a luxurious, Victorian-style mansion with a big, elegant garden full of neatly trimmed trees and bushes. She clearly spent a small fortune on keeping this property tidy. RÂΝОΒЁṠ
But even before stepping inside, an unexpected surprise awaited us.
I have the most awesome readers!!! I never ever dared to hope I’d get 5 supergifts in a single day, two of which were spacecrafts and one gachapon.
Sadly, I just released 8 chapters yesterday, so I can’t repay all the bonus chapters I already owe you guys, but I’ll do my best! To me, quality is very important, so I don’t want to rush out chapters if they feel half-assed. I hope you understand and thank you for all the amazing support!
