My World Traveling System: The Harbinger of Death

Chapter 452: I'm Sorry For Worrying You

-----

An azure-haired fox-kin boy wandered through outer space, he was getting to explore more and more of this wondrous and near-endless place by himself, but after recalling his own parents, he began to wonder how they were. After all, he had been just born and had already separated himself from them! Even his underdeveloped brain began to ponder if he should get back, and everything implied that YES, he should.

However, as he had an underdeveloped thought process, he was distracted too easily by the wondrousness of his own inner universe… But when he heard the faint voice of someone crying and calling for him, he stopped wandering around and moved near that direction.

He faintly recalled the voice, it was the man with him when he was born, possibly an important figure he shouldn't treat badly… a father.

"Alex… please… my son…"

Frank called to Alex as he began to hit the spatial walls, he wasn't able to enter yet.

"Please, my son… Let's talk…"

He sighed, nothing happened.

He didn't knew when Alex would even listen or come out of there…

However, suddenly, and out of nowhere, the boy absorbed the entire universe into his soul and emerged in the middle of this space, where Frank met him.

"Alex!"

Frank flew towards his son and hugged him; the baby seemed surprised. Did he do something wrong? Why as he so clingy out of the sudden?

However, he was warm and smelled nice, so he rubbed his face over his papa.

"Ah, my little prince, I was so worried…" sighed Frank, kissing his cheeks and forehead, and even his little and adorable nose.

"I love you so much… I am sorry for sealing your power… It had to be done…" cried Frank

Alex didn't understood what he was trying to say, but he liked how he was given so much affection and grew closer to his father quite quickly.

"Daaa!"

He used his little hands to caress Frank's fluffy hair, and then his little lips approached Frank's nose, kissing him cutely.

"Ahh…" Frank almost had a heart attack; his son was such an adorable little fluffy fox!

"Y-You forgive me?" he asked.

"Muhh…"

Alex then began to imitate his father and kissed his cheek.

"My precious little treasure, thank you…" sighed Frank, as he caressed his son's fluffy tails and brought him back to his mother.

"Here he is… He said he forgive me." Said Frank.

"Mooch, mooch, mooch!"

Gwendolyn saw in surprise as the adorable and little Alex kissed his father's face and hugged him while waving his fox tails.

"My baby!"

Gwendolyn extended her arms as Frank moved him towards her, but Alex didn't wanted to stop showing affection. Nonetheless, he also recognized Gwendolyn and extended his hands towards her.

"Baaahh!"

He gave a little and cute groan as he hugged her and then kissed her face.

"Uwaah! W-We were so worried, Alex! Don't wander outside without us, okay? Next time, bring us with you." Said Gwendolyn while almost in tears.

Alex cutely nodded, as Frank kissed him again.

"I'll make sure to take good care of you and be a good father, Alex… I promise you." Said Frank.

"I promise that too…" said Gwendolyn.

Frank recalled his childhood… it wasn't the best there was. In fact, a lot of things were missing, and he was desolate most of the time. His father went away at a young age, and his mother became an aggressive alcoholic that abused of him verbally, he sometimes wished that such scars on his mind wouldn't had stayed, he sometimes wished to reboot time and go back to it, to make things right, to make them both be at his side as he grew up, to not have an abusive mother or an absent father…

Maybe he would be different now if that were to be the case. He doesn't know if he would be a better person, or someone worse…

But now that he had the chance to raise a child, he wanted to not do what his parents did, he didn't wanted to be negligent nor abusive, he wanted to be supportive, amicable, and warm.

He wanted to teach his son to be brave and strong, but also cautious and intelligent, to be nice to the people that is nice with him, but to not let others abuse of him… He wanted that his child to grow into a proper person without mental scars, without a terrible past to always eat his dreams with horrible nightmares…

He suddenly began to cry pretty dramatically, recalling his past and then seeing the vast journey he had until now really made him sorrowful and happy at the same time. He had both tears of sadness and of happiness. Tears of sorrow for all the horrible things and traumatic experiences he had gone through, and tears of happiness for all things that had made his life better and more beautiful, for all the things that… well, made him happier.

It was beautiful to simply imagine the journey of a man into becoming what he was now, and even more beautiful to imagine it when he had so many people with him now.

When he was alone, desolate, and powerless as a child, he always wished to have friends at his side, to have allies, to have people that held his back, patted his shoulders, and told him that they would get through things together…

And seeing his adorable son here, the fruit of his love between him and a Gwendolyn, the love he met in another world really filled his heart with tremendous happiness…

"I love you so much…"

Frank hugged both Gwendolyn and Alex, covering them with his warmth and his strong aura of divinity, as if embracing them into a mystical shield of protection, while showing his immense power, the one power he would use to protect these people so precious and important to his life.

Deep inside of his heart, the resolve to defeat his enemies and find peace emerged even stronger than before, as he began to recall his father…

"Father… I've accomplished so much…"
