The Cursed Gamer

Chapter 4

Title: New Life (1)

….

Suddenly, I felt a force pushing me towards a narrow gap. It was finally time to leave this womb.

It's ironic how I died by a push and am getting reborn with a push too. 

Anyways, light finally invaded my new eyes as I finally felt air touch my wet skin.

With a flash of light, I felt the world becoming broader as the image of the ever so familiar hospital O.T entered my eyes. This room is familiar because I was (un)fortunate enough to lay in this room three times in my previous life.

'Newborn babies aren't supposed to have this clear of a vision… must be a perk of Gamer's Body.' It was easily believable.

The heart rate monitor's beeping sound was not annoying to hear in my new ears as I felt two large hands lifting me.

From the size of the hands, I was certain, all this isn't a hallucination. I am a baby now, born in a new world from a new mother.

The two large hands raised me in the air as I faced the face of a man wearing an operation mask, and naturally, I assumed it was the doctor.

The doctor's eyes were looking at me worryingly as I understood what I needed to do.

Without thinking twice, I tried to use my vocals as a strange cry left my mouth.

"Waaaaaa!"

This unfamiliar voice of a baby made me certain of my situation yet again as I barely managed to avoid a slap in the butt.

Hearing my cry, the doctor who was holding me pulled down his mask and released a radiant smile. "That's more like it."

The language he spoke made me surprised and a little relieved. 'Japanese, huh… Luckily I know the basics because of a course I took. Though I don't understand complex words…'

Just then, I noticed the bed below me where a blue-haired woman was laying down while sweating heavily.

The doctor leaned towards the bed and handed me to the woman.

He said, "It's a healthy boy, Gara. He got his father's special silver hair."

'Gara?' Seeing that he was calling her by the name, I can assume he is pretty close with her.

"Ah… is that so? Thank you, Kishimoto." the woman answered in a soft voice and raised her hand to take me from the doctor. "I didn't feel pain at all thanks to your quirk, Pain Cancellation."

The doctor chuckled hearing her. "No need for thanks between friends, Gara."

However, what piqued my interest was his talk about my hair…. And most importantly, 'quirk'. This was proof that this was, well, that childish superhero world.

'What's special silver hair?' As I thought this, I also noticed the woman, my 'mother' of this life, smiling blissfully as she accepted me in her hands.

For a split second, she looked familiar. Blue hair and an oval face filled with curiosity...

The woman had barely opened eyes, but she still managed a smile. She said, "My beautiful boy, what will your name be?"

I ignored her attempts to talk to me since I was feeling tired and thought, 'According to the doctor, her name is Gara.' I know a few fictional characters named Gara, but their appearance doesn't match with her's. 'A blue-haired woman named Gara… Doesn't ring a bell.'

Still, the woman said something about an ability… and based on the Japanese, I can assume this is an anime world. 

I ignored the thoughts for now and focused on my mother. She smiled softly and rubbed my nose with hers. "Let's wait for you father, your name should be a precious one after all."

She continued. "Maybe we should discuss it with your sister too… no, maybe that's not a good idea." My 'mother' giggled saying this.

While I was suddenly interested in this father and sister of mine, I felt the doctor's hands lifting me again.

"Gara, sorry but we need to clean him. I will take care of it, rest assured." The doctor said in a professional tone. "You should also take a rest, you lost a lot of blood."

My new 'mother' just nodded lightly and closed her eyes, trying to fall asleep.

–General Pov–

After the nurses cleaned 799 nicely, they wrapped a towel around him. Now, the doctor from before was walking through the hallway with 799 in his arms, taking him to the chamber where his mother was moved.

In the chamber, the woman named Gara had already regained her consciousness. Currently, she was chatting with a man with dark silver hair that was lightly reflecting light, as if made of real silver.

"Dear, are you feeling fine?" The silver-haired man asked Gara as she nodded lightly.

"Aiko, I am fine. You should be worried about our baby instead, it's been a while since they took him…" Gara answered in a weak voice. She was fine after taking some medicines, but her body was still weak.

"Don't worry, Kishimoto is there. He will take care of him." Aiko said as he grabbed Gara's hands.

Gara smiled softly. "You are right."

As if waiting for this moment, someone opened the door and walked inside. It was the doctor.

"Oh, Aiko, you are already here." He said with a surprised voice while the baby in his hand stared at the mother with slightly wide eyes.

Aiko got up and walked closer. "Sorry about that, the company kept me busy so I was late."

"Thank you, Kishimoto. You spared your busy time to help us." He said with a grateful smile. "I can't repay you with money only… So, can I take my baby?" Aiko asked in a hurried tone.

Kishimoto, the doctor, nodded. "Of course."

Hearing this, Aiko lifted his hands towards the baby, 799, with a smile on his face. "Now come to papa, my little beast." 

The doctor handed him the baby with a light chuckle. 

Aiko's smile widened as he stroked the few hairs in 799's head. "Wow, you have my hair! Hair that is actually made out of silver!"

799 finally understood what the doctor meant. 'As expected from a world with superpowers… I only hope such mutations don't have any backlash.'

Aiko went closer to Gara and sat on the bed. "Gara, did you name him yet?"

Gara shook her head. "I have been waiting for you."

Aiko made a thinking pose. "Then let me choose a beautiful name for him. How does Neji sound?" 

Hearing him, Gara smiled. "You are naming him after Nejire?"

"Of course, I am sure she will be happy." Nodding, Aiko then looked at the child in his arms who was staring at his face. "Then your name will be Neji, Neji Hado."

«—{★}—»

—Neji(799) Pov—

Neji isn't a bad name. But that doesn't interest me. What interests me is the last name… 

'...Hado? He also said the name Nejire…' As I thought, I was right.

Looking at the strangely familiar face of my mother, I released an internal sigh.

My mother's name must be Gara Hado. She is a fair-skinned woman with wide, curious eyes. Her upper eyelashes are long and thick, and her eyes are a royal blue. Her blue hair is periwinkle, resting on the back of the bed.

She looked like a carbon copy of one of U.A's big three, Nejire Hado,  just a lot more mature. So she is most likely Nejire's biological mother, Gara Hado.

'So this is My Hero Academia world…?' A sigh escaped my lips. I was more concerned about my current world than my new family. 'I have mixed feelings about this.'

Still, since my Gamer System has been nerfed, it's better to be in such a weak world.

As I was thinking, my new parents hugged me tightly with tears in their eyes.

"Awww, Nejire will be so happy to see you, Neji." My new mother said as I felt my eyelids going heavy.

A new family, huh… I wonder how this will turn out.

TheAuthor's Note: 

Well, from 799 to 'Neji'. Quite a development. Though we can only hope he doesn't die for his sister.

E/N: For the like-minded people, I too think MC's name is trash and cringy😐.

E/N 2.0: I second that. 

A/N: F U too.

Jon/Note: Badass name fags, there are too many references for you to understand, just like Naruto Neji had the Hyuga curse, this one has the primordial one. And both will rise above the heavens. 

A/N: Love you Jon.
