Chapter Text
Deruth gripped his hands tightly. He prayed in front of the room so that his wife could give birth safely. So are his two children.
Deruth Henituse.
A count with abundant wealth. But even with his current wealth, he couldn't help his wife who was struggling to give birth to their two children. When he was first told that his wife Jour was pregnant, he was overjoyed. And his pleasure grew when he found out that it was not just one child, but two.
Yes, his wife is pregnant with twins.
But happiness in this moment turned into fear. Because Jour's body is not very strong, he is afraid that something bad will happen...
"Oooeeekk—!!"
But his worries only vanished like clouds that evaporated when he heard a baby's voice from inside the room.
It started with one, then two cries were heard.
It's just that the new cry didn't last as long as the first.

Kim Rok Soo ends his tired day by spending time reading a novel that he hasn't had time to read all day. As a team leader, he longs for his life as a slacker.
In the room, there is a coffee that is still warm and also a snack as a companion.
He turned page after page, without realizing the sun was getting lower.
Resting his eyes, he looked out the window.
Thinking it would be too much of a hassle to cook now, the only option was to boil ramen.
In his 36 years of life, so much has happened.
His parents are gone, the world is changing, and his friends and family are both...
On second thought, he became too lazy to even boil water.
Taking a sip of his coffee, he glanced back at the cover of the novel.
The Birth of a Hero.
Is a cliche-filled novel about hero making.
He has a little pity for the main character who suddenly finds himself stranded in the middle of the forest. But the development of the story is quite interesting.
'Maybe tomorrow I should borrow the next volume.'
Nodding with his resolution for tomorrow, Kim Rok Soo cleared his cup and went straight to bed.
Tomorrow he will go out looking for food.
But sadly, the tomorrow he wanted would never come.

The thing that Kim Rok Soo feels after he sleeps is.. oddly a warm feeling.
He couldn't open his eyes but he felt that he was in a very comfortable room that made him reluctant to do anything.
And after a long time, he suddenly felt an inconvenience.
Like there is a force that pushes him to get out of his comfort zone. Kim Rok Soo feels his hibernation is over and—
"Oeeeekk—!!"
'huh?!'
He felt terrible.
It took him some time to open his eyes and feel his world.. changing..?
There was something wet in his eyes.
He raised his hand and was surprised to find it so small.
Realizing that the baby's voice was coming from himself, he fell silent.
But it turns out the baby's voice is still heard.
He looked to the source, there was another baby with red hair...
'What the—?!'
Rok Soo cursed inwardly.
He was relaxing in his room, sleeping in his room, but suddenly woke up as a baby in another room? No, maybe another world?
Rok Soo sees his own reflection and he knows that he has the same features as the other babies.
Yes, they are twins.
