Darkness.

That was what Kim Rok Soo, Choi Jung Soo and Lee Soo Hyuk saw as soon as they opened their eyes. All they knew was they were supposed to be going out of the country for their company business trip. But their luck sucked as soon as they were flying, their plane suddenly crashed which led them to the sea of darkness. They didn't know what will happen to them now they are dead. They just let themselves float freely and without any restrictions.

Damn, I died even before achieving my slacker life. I was looking forward to retiring and doing some farming in a remote place, Lee Soo Hyuk sighed.

I feel bad for the family I left behind. Good thing, Father has another son who will inherit the dojo, Choi Jung Soo thought as he let the darkness take him wherever it wanted.

I don't have anyone who will mourn for me since my parents died right after I finished college and my friends also died with me, Kim Rok Soo thought indifferently.

They didn't know how much time passed as their sense of time came to a halt after they died. They couldn't feel anything or hear anything, as if they became one with the darkness. Suddenly, chuckles of children, men and women combined were heard all around them. They felt creeped out with the sound.

"Hmm, good good. They're here!" suddenly a voice could be heard all around them. They couldn't point out if the person talking was a man or a woman.

Welcome! Welcome! You must be wondering who I am, right? Right? Hahaha. I am the Goddess of Fertility, you can call me Aite instead! They introduced.

You see, you see ... I am bored. Then! I see your souls lost and wandering this place! Did you stray away from the path to the afterlife? Hmmm? They continued.

The three souls remained quiet, after all they couldn't speak.

But it's okay! Fun still awaits you, my dear! I will give you another chance in life ... but in another place! Aite added.

You have to be patient though, your parents are not that mature and I don't know if they could take good care of you ... BUT I assure you, you will not suffer from hunger! Aite laughed as bright light began to be in sight.

The three didn't know if it was bright or not but they knew it was a light. Before they could process everything, the three could finally feel and hear everything. When they opened their eyes, the surroundings were a little blurry. Then, they could hear a soft breathing beside them.

Kim Rok Soo, Choi Jung Soo and Lee Soo Hyuk stretched their tiny arms and legs then they proceeded looking at one another.

"Oooh gaaa," was the only thing they could say.

What? I did reincarnate as a baby? How inconvenient! Jung Soo thought.

Oh, so reincarnation does exist and I am a prime example of that, Soo Hyuk calmly commented in his mind.

Wait, the goddess said our parents are a little immature ... fuck, I can't complain if I can't produce proper words, Rok Soo cursed.

Their thoughts stopped when another person moved on the bed where the three of them were lying. The other person sat up as they scratched their eyes and yawned.

"Huh?" was what they said.

"There really are babies!" he gasped as he gently caressed the faces of his children.

This person could be their mother. His voice and actions were gentle. The three sneezed simultaneously and the other person scurried to get something in his closet. Without a minute, he came back and wrapped the three gently with a warm and soft blanket.

"I'm sorry, my babies. I don't have anything for you to wear tonight, I'll make sure to prepare some things for you tomorrow morning," he said as he gently patted the three babies.

Somehow, the gentle touch of the person was soothing it made the three of them sleepy. Before they could register the face of their mother, the three of them fell into deep slumber.

The next morning, the three of them awoke and they were now properly dressed. The clothes they were wearing looked hand-made from the highest quality of fabric. That was why the three of them believed that their mother was poor and couldn't afford buying made clothes. But they do wonder how their mother got ahold of such high quality fabrics. The gloves and socks they were wearing were made from high quality wool which makes it comfortable and warm. The three children concluded that it might have come from their father.

"My babies are awake now," their mother spoke.

Now they could finally see their mother's face clearly. He had red hair and reddish-brown eyes, he looked young but he was certainly a beauty. His smile was gentle and his voice was relaxing.

Wait he looks familiar, Rok Soo thought.

"Young Master Cale," a middle aged woman spoke.

"Ah, auntie look. My babies are born," their mother named Cale said.

Ah, the three of them finally recognized the face and the name.

Of all people who would become their mother, he was none other than: Cale Henituse. The drunkard first born son of the Henituse Family from the novel they have read before titled, "The Adventures of the Transmigrator." Then, it sunk in, they were reincarnated inside the novel they read before they died.

Would we be alright in his care? They thought.
