Chapter 1:
For the very last time, in the middle of their battle, he glimpse at her as he was ready to be killed by the person he love and trust the most. Before he finally close his eyes, something touched his lips.
He was drowning in the depths of the ocean. His body were slowly submerging into its sea floor. He just stared at the water and closed his eyes the moment his back fell on a concrete floor.
"Where..am I? This is not the path."
He breaths but no wind. It's just white, white everywhere. He doesn't also know where he came from. All he knows is that he last saw the woman he love before he die. He was submerging into the water and the next thing he knew was he's already dry and doesn't know where he is.
"Hi."
He turned to where the voice came from and saw a white ball floating in front of a huge white gate.
"Who...are you?" He muttered, still looking at the white sphere.
"It's time for you to get out."
"Get...out?"
"Yes. You have been staying here for how long already. Your soul may now go back on Earth."
"I...don't know what you're talking about."
"Soul of ErenJaeger, your detention has been lifted."
"Huh? Detention? Wait-!"
His body felt light as the white gate in front of him pulled him like a vacuum. He glimpse at the white ball.
"And I hope you may find happiness on your gained freedom."
That was the last thing he heard until he heard next were murmurs and a beeping sound. He slowly opened his eyes and closed it again due to the very bright light that greet him.
Where am I? He though as he can't speak up. He felt light as he was being passed on to someone. He opened his eyes again and saw the person he misses the most in his entire life.
His mother whom he love and miss so much. He cried as he was being carried by his mother on her arms.
"What would be his name, Ma'am?" Another voice rang as she was holding something to note to.
"Eren. Eren Jaeger." Carla Jaeger said as she glimpse at her son whom she waited for nine months. Eren cried as he cling onto his mother. He still has his memories from his last life that made him so emotional right now.
Mom! Mom! He cried.
"I'm here, Eren. I'm here." Carla shushed her crying son as she held him close and soothe him.
A sound from the door rang as two pairs of footsteps approached the mother and son on the bed.
"Grisha, Zeke. Eren's here." She muttered making Eren turned to the new people making him to stop crying.
Father? Brother? What is he doing here?
Grisha approached his wife and gave her a kiss on her forehead while Zeke approached Eren and tried to touch his cheeks but Eren caught his index finger. Zeke smiled at him.
"Eren, meet your step-big brother. You will be brothers from now on." Carla said as she smiled at the two boys. Grisha just hold her hand. Eren smiled despite feeling a little emotional as he still remember what happened in the past.
"Hi, Eren. I'm your big brother." 10 year old blonde haired Zeke introduced himself. Eren smiled at his brother.
Damn you.
Five years had passed since he was born and Eren seems to realize that he was in another world or he may think that this is the other side of the world, far from the Paradis Island in which he grew up in his other life and definitely not Marleyians because he doesn't see any buildings resembling the said place. Eren remained ignorant like a kid would be as he grew up. He just observed his surroundings for anything that may change or may resemble something from his past but it seems that everything is not like what he had seen in his past life as he was growing up in the land of the rising sun, Japan. A place that he doesn't know and recall when he was still alive in his past life.
"Okay. Today is your day. Have fun at school." Carla Jaeger bid goodbye as she, her husband and Zeke who is now entering high school walked him towards kindergarten, the very first time to actually meet new acquaintance. And after all these time, still hoping to meet someone he may recognize not just his parents and step-brother.
"Un! See you later." He excitedly bid also before he enter the school.
"Aw, our Eren has grown up. Then he will eventually be middle schooler and the high schooler then leaving the house for college." Carla muttered as she brush her teary eyes with her handkerchief. Zeke and Grisha just smiled at her.
"Mom, Eren's going to be fine." Zeke said making Carla turn to him.
"Mou, you too."
"Me?"
"You've grown and will eventually leave the house. Then you'll forget about me because you don't need me anymore. Because you will be in your legal age."
"Mom, I'll never forget you. You raised me and that's enough for me to love you for all my life." Zeke muttered and smiled at her.
"Aww. Come on now Honey, Zeke, we're going to be late." Grisha called the two who was hugging each other, jealous that his two boys are too close with his wife.
"Well when you got home, I'll cook your favorite food. Go on now. You'll going to be late for school." She bid. The two just waved at her as they walk to towards the station just down the road at the other direction towards their house. She just waved at them and turned back as she sighed in satisfaction.
"Hmm? What should I do today?" She muttered as she walked away from Eren's new school.
Meanwhile, Eren was walking on the hallway of the kindergarten to find a teacher to guide him on his first day. Then eventually, she saw a lady on her 20's with a long black hair and an apron on her uniform. She saw him and greet him with a smile.
"Hello there! Is this your first day?" She greeted bubbly. Eren nodded his head as he gave her a smile.
"Welcome. My name is Shizen Maria and I will be your teacher. What's your name young man?" She asked introducing herself as a teacher in the pre-school.
"My name's Eren! Eren Jaeger." He greeted back.
Maria? One of the three daughters of King Karl Fritz? Like the wall Maria where the Shiganshina is? Just how does this world works? Eren thought he stared at her in wonder. Shina-sensei noticed his stare and just smiled at him. She held his hand as she guide him towards the classroom. Small voices of kids rang as soon as they approached the room. She opened the door and greeted by ten kids greeting a good morning.
"Good morning kids! You have another classmate today. Kindly please introduce yourself." She said and Eren did what he was told to.
"My name is Eren Jeager! Just call me Eren. Nice to meet you!" He introduced and roam his eyes around and froze at the direction of a certain kid who was holding a book. He was sitting on the floor besides the bookshelf at the back of the classroom with his blue innocent eyes.
"A...Armin."
