Chapter 2 - Gossip

Stern Mitternacht. That was the name given to me by my parents of this world.

I'm uncertain about what kind of world this is but. One thing I can say for sure. 

This world has magicians!

You see. On the day I was born, my biological mother of this world divined my abilities.

A warm spring of light came dawning upon my newly born self.

However, to my surprise. After my Mother divined for my abilities. I know that this must be the work of someone trying to make me remember something of my past self, however.

Are you serious? A gambler????!!!!

Both my parents couldn't help but faint that very day. Now, as the 6th son of the Mitternacht Household.

Three months after that divination. I'm still here stuck in a cradle. The toys are my only companions.

Oh, right.

Of my right side, there's a maid called. Yami.

Apparently, this Household will always assign a nanny to care for their children.

Reason? Why need to ask. As I told before. I'm now the 6th son. 6TH SON!

Even from here, I can hear them going in and out. It's even broad daylight!

Are you expecting me to grow like this under poor supervision?!

Well, what can I say. I'm just a clown. A retarded one at that. Might as well kill myself now than being a Gambling Mage.

I mean. What's the purpose of my abilities? For entertainment?

Nah. Might as well become impotent at this point. I died a virgin so its normal to die as a virgin here as well.

Looking at it now. As I glanced towards the window. Sounds of clashing swords can be heard.

Knights? Might as well build a factory of mages. I mean. What's the use of Knights if Mages can just go PEW PEW PEW! Am I right?

Not being a nerd or so but. Back when I was a teenage boy. I used to love reading. My favorite book? It goes something like GoGoGo Mahoujo! Something like that.

One might be bored with my endless prattles but. What can I do? I'm stuck here in a cradle. It's like I'm in prison of some sort.

A prison where one dies in boredom.

Looking around again. This room has a rich feeling into it.

I mean. Again. Look at the decorations! Goddamn! It's like Picasso's work has transmigrated into this world!

That's just how rich this room feels. Even the plaque is made of pristine gold.

Fine. Flex all you want. Someday, I'll eventually inherit a part of this estate. When that time comes. I'll spend my time leisurely. Maybe even gamble a bit... No No No. Fuck! Gotta change my mindset somehow.

This must be the reason why my ability is 'Gambler'.

Well. Look at the bright side of things. I won't be needing to work my butt off just to earn a living. Everything is already set for me.

That was when I suddenly changed my mind.

It was an event that came about 5 years from now. A day where I'll be meeting my fiancee.
