Lin found glaring light stab at his eyes and his awareness was "somehow" activated once again after it was last shut down when he permitted the release of his "memory-chip".

“Light?”

Lin tried to use his arm to cover his eyes then he discovered that he couldn't feel his arm or any other limb in his body because it turned out that he doesn't have one to begin with.

“Heh. Looks like you have finally decided to join me.”

Once Lin heard that sound he really shuddered internally with annoyance.

“Even in death you followed along? for the love of everything that is holy, just what the fuck do you want from me? for thirty long and annoying years I've tolerated your existence within me and ignored the wicked thoughts you kept forcing into my thought process plus many other nonsense that kept happening for no reason at all. Won't you let me off-the-hook even in death? just let me take my final rest in peace! is that too much to ask for?”

Finally Lin snapped at his inner voices because during his previous life countless wicked thoughts and brain freezes plus deliberate confusions of his thoughts and many more actions that only made poor Lin helplessly feel stifled and pressured by these silly interruptions which this "entity" constantly kept causing.

“Hahahaha... Finally, the ever-silent mountain answered any of my calls! who could've predicted that? such a moment actually came to happen! thirty years of silent treatment is no more guys. The great-sage succumbed at last and he is rising the white flag above his highest tower. To be completely honest with you Lin, even I wouldn't have expected that after talking to myself all these years, not to mention that I’ve succeeded in my first try which kind-of makes it feel like a double-win to me. Kekeke…”

The voice that was exactly the same as his own again answered Lin's disgruntled complains with a heartless triumphant celebration. "It" was seemingly feeling completely pleased and complacent with Lin's willingness to reply at last.

“Looks like in death I'm losing my mind… Sigh.”

Lin wished to close his eyes and enjoy the only thing he have left. Death! yet he didn't have eyelids and all he could do is stare back at the glaring light while being joined by that "thing" which Lin is pretty sure that it is his own bipolar-consciousness. No other explanation could describe it being in his head even after his death since great-sage Lin doesn't believe in superstitious stuff like ghosts and whatnot.

Being in his head since as long as he can remember it is completely useless in every and anything else other than annoying the living daylight out of his soul when Lin lived. Then -as it seems- its second mission is to frustrate what is left of his poor soul after Lin died.

“Moron even in death you are still the same annoying idiot! Just take a look around you, and who said anything about death? if you are that desperate, then go ahead and try. Take a guess then, where exactly is this place then?”

The sound seemed -oddly enough- extremely pleased with itself in having Lin finally answering it even-though most of what it said was offensive to the great-sage. Taking a close look around Lin saw the same golden light everywhere however. Gradually he felt some closeness and familiarity from each and every ray of light when it passed through his non-existent body. Somehow he felt like these light-rays were little children trying to play with him in-order to cheer him up.

“This, is it my soul?”

Lin spoke about something that he would’ve never discussed or cared to waste his precious time speaking of it in his life. The soul was the only thing that remained a complete mystery no matter how humanity developed itself further and beyond along the ages! even after man-kind managed to peek at the future and thoroughly studied the past the topic "soul" remained a white paper with the title on top and the rest left completely blank.

“Ding, ding, ding, ding. Bingo! welcome to your origin. I've been living here since... well. Forever to be exact.”

The sound spoke while Lin was immersed in the feeling of getting touched by light despite having no body to begin with. He couldn’t refute what was said because deep down his knowledge-seeking character really wanted that to be true.

“Why am I not dead? is death actually the simple return to your origin! This is strange indeed. Still, if I get trapped like this for eternity with you lurking somewhere within me, then that wouldn't be any different from a true living-hell.”

Lin muttered while feeling a massive headache-inducing problem coming his way if he really is going to be forever in this weird state with that voice occupying some part of him and accompanying him for eternity. If Lin had a face then right now he would be cringing and frowning until his complexion turned demonic.

“Oy! that was really rude coming from you, I’m deeply hurt by what you said okay. Who said that I have to keep being attached to you? in here I can be everywhere. Humph.”

Once the voice said that Lin felt something getting detached from him which gave him a prickling pain that didn’t linger more than a split-second. Then another spitting-image of himself floated in front of him. The face is similar to how he looked in his previous life while the rest of the body however was only the shape of an invisible ghost with almost nothing left visible below the chest area! while Lin was looking with complete shock at the strange event that he wouldn't believe if it was ever mentioned to his previous self even with the wild imagination he have. The split-image facing him suddenly looked up and squinted its eyes slightly then said : “Do you feel that?”

The ghost version of himself which stood before Lin’s non-existent body asked while it kept looking everywhere seemingly searching for some signs to confirm something it felt.

“Feel what?”

Lin looked around as well trying to find or feel anything yet he couldn't and all he saw was the same gold light that’s all.

“Something’s coming.”

The ghost said while it gestured with its chin for Lin to take a look behind him.

“Hu-”

Once Lin attempted to take a look he didn’t get a chance to be surprised before he felt himself getting sucked into a black swirl that arrived out of nowhere! instantly the glaring light got replaced by utter and complete darkness. He was no longer in some kind of immaterial-form like his earlier soul-experience because right now he felt his heart beats inside his fleshly-body but for some reason Lin couldn't control it like he used to control his body before! not to mention how he felt his body being squeezed by some squishy-matter from everywhere and Lin felt himself getting pushed forward and his body was falling head-first. Finally his closed eyes experienced light trying to penetrate through its thin eyelids and when Lin did his best to open his eyes slightly -even for a tiny crack- he started hearing the high-pitched and agonizing screams accompanied by the sparaodic grunts of a woman in extreme pain.

Then at some point Lin felt his body free-falling and landing on top of a fluffy and furry material beneath his back. Once he finally managed to separate his eyelids slightly after a considerable effort! Lin saw his current mattress which is a piece of fur that is very dirty and it was mixed with what would appear to be the birth-fluids and bits of blood from the woman nearby him. Lin just got delivered by this woman earlier.

He was laid-down there on his side with his umbilical-cord still attached to this different mother. The sight in front of Lin’s eyes is the exaggeratedly exposed vagina of a woman in a half-sitting position and her legs spread open with her knees bent slightly and he didn't need any explanations from anyone about what is going on right now. Yet two very contradictory questions kept fighting for dominion in Lin’s head and these questions endlessly repeated themselves to cause further chaos to his already disturbed thoughts. He died? yes! he’s alive? also yes.

Sweating very hard and glaring at empty air -the dirty-looking woman whose body is covered in soot and mud all over- suddenly started to scream again and hold her breath while pushing for delivering another twin for Lin.

'It separated from my soul to get reborn in the body of the other fetus?' once Lin saw his mother grinding her teeth and hollering in a scream after scream he thought of that scenario which he found very possible amidst the strain of impossibilities he experienced.

When the woman -which is Lin's mother in this second life- was about to pass-out from exhaustion after quite the laboring-struggle she finally managed deliver Lin a twin sister and he was quick to notice the glow of wisdom in the baby-girl's eyes when she opened them slightly then Lin knew who exactly is driving that meat-suit when she gave him a smirk.

'Looks like I'm going to have a slutty sister from now on. Right-on sister! go independence.' Lin thought that when his mother raised both him and his twin sister towards her dirty chest with tired hands before severing both of their umbilical-cords by simply pinching them with her fingers.

Reluctantly Lin held-on to the woman's chest with his lips to feed. Only her body was unwashed and smelled nasty while her clothes consisted of nothing but long pieces of dirty fur wrapping her body messily and left many areas exposed. Her figure is great for a woman who just gave birth to a twin and she would certainly make any sexy housewife extremely jealous if seen. Not to mention that her complexion seems to be very enchanting underneath all these smudges of mud and dirt here and there.

Lin's younger twin sister on the other breast was greedily sucking on the woman's chest with a bit too much enthusiasm that the woman actually noticed the clear difference between Lin and his sister from the way they suckled. The mother smiled and gently hugged both of her new babies to her chest then she leaned her head back to get some deserved rest. After feeding Lin felt drowsy because that short duration of keeping himself awake after his rebirth were severely exhausting to both of his body and mentality. When he closed his eyes to sleep Lin felt his mother place him on another dry piece of fur with his sister next to him then the last thing he remembers of that time was seeing his mother carrying the furs dirtied during her delivery of the twin and walking away.

-----

Next time he woke-up it was already dark and like all newborn babies Lin couldn't control his primitive-reflexes. The endless twitching, flinching, and kicking were something really annoying for him to experience.

After trying to stop these primitive-reflexes for a while to no avail. Lin decided to focus first on controlling his neck instead and he started to try keeping his small head raised from the ground as long as possible. Since in-order to sit down correctly he first needs a neck strong enough to be capable of holding the weight of his head and with a balanced head on his shoulders then sitting will be much easier and faster in the future and the key to all of that is strong neck muscles.

Lin tried to speak or say anything but the only thing he heard coming out of his mouth is "Aaah" and other examples of baby voices which makes no sense.

During the first night after his birth Lin woke-up twice and repeated the same neck exercise until he couldn't go on anymore then hunger started to twist his belly and Lin started to baby-squeal and call for his sleeping mother to feed them. Earlier Lin was feeling hungry yet he endured it and the same goes for his twin sister which is lying down next to him lazily. Oddly enough she seemed to be enjoying the experience of living and wasn’t bothered at all by her body's primitive-reflexes which were comically amusing Lin whenever his own primitive-reflexes forced him to turn and face his sister.

The mother seemed to notice her negligence and raised the twins again to her chest with sleepy eyes and repetitive yawns. The twin sister which was obviously lackadaisical just earlier suddenly turned vigorous and she did her best to suck on the mother's chest eventually her relentless actions ended up causing a few startled moans here and there from the woman. Lin smiled when he noticed the actions of his twin sister getting greedy for breast milk since life looks to be extremely fun so far for the sister that shouldn't be among the living just like how he shouldn't be re-experiencing life for the second time in a vastly different circumstances. For his twin sister just drawing breath is a complete joy not to mention the luxury of breastfeeding.

After getting their second meal Lin slept soundly and didn't wake up until it was morning and he found himself wrapped up in a furry leather belt with his twin sister and hidden behind some rock in a crack of the wall.

The mother was not nearby and his lazy sister was thankfully smart enough in not making any sounds but they stayed hidden that way for a bit too long time reaching the six hours mark! the twins remained in that place which is totally discoverable by any predator on the food chain. Hungry, lonely, and vulnerable they remained completely enveloped in silence.

'Just where did she go? you're supposed to feed us almost every two hours woman, the love mom! Where’s the love?' Lin thought when he looked in the eyes of his twin sister and they endured the digging pain of hunger together.

-----

During the first two weeks of Lin's life his foolish mother would leave him and his twin sister every morning after hiding them in the crack behind the same rock in the deepest point of the cave they were born in and that is the only measure she took for both of her children's safety during her absence! only to return in the late afternoon or much later in some cases to find Lin and his greedy sister at the limit of enduring their bangs of hunger. Even Lin with his love for everything that is clean and tidy couldn't help but cling-on to these fat and dirty boobs with his lips and suck hard to fill his tank after going through that hunger almost a quarter of the whole day.

His twin sister would give him looks that meant : 'I see that someone like the great-sage can't even help It, you’re that desperate for survival huh!'

Then Lin would retort with eyes that said : 'You’re one to talk! Take a look at your competitive lips drawing load after load of breast milk like a starving piglet. I take it that breast milk is your favorite beverage now?'

Lin's progress with strengthening his neck is going well so far and now he can raise his head off of the ground while lying on his back and keep it that way for almost ten seconds on average. Still it really tired him to do that exercise for long and he will mostly end up getting sleepy soon afterwards. One time he tried to do his usual training in the morning while his mother is away hoping to end up sleeping until she returns. Hehe. Poor Lin woke-up a few hours before noon with double the normal amount of hunger bangs which he had to endure in silence until his mother arrived later that day and Lin learned from that lesson and made sure to never exercise his neck unless the "food source" -which is his mother in this case- is nearby and available.

During the mornings while his mother is absent from the cave Lin would focus more on trying to stop the primitive-reflexes instead of his neck because doing so would slightly exhaust him mentally but not physically which in turn didn't affect his nutrition storage by much.

The real reason for his current enthusiasm against primitive-reflexes however is because one day Lin found his face stuck to his twin-sister's butt after a series of these terribly annoying primitive-reflexes overtook his body! while he was unwillingly sniffing that filthy place from point-blank range and hoping for any kind of swift death to befall him and end his suffering. Lin kept hearing the never-ending giggles of his younger sister and he became wholly determined to stop these primitive-reflexes once and for all even if it meant the delay of his plan to control and strengthen his neck.

-----

One month old.

Unlike before when he was just a newborn baby.

Now Lin can raise his head up from the ground when he’s on his back and even twist his neck a bit to look left and right with some ease. The primitive-reflexes rarely surprise him anymore and his mother still leaves him and his twin-sister for long durations every day.

Now Lin is the one enjoying watching his sister embarrass herself when her primitive-reflexes makes her do all kinds of awkward poses while Lin would remain in place just like how his mother left him in the morning and he would keep watching the "clown-sister" act all day with a wide grin on his face.

When his mother returned in that day’s particular afternoon it was different because she wasn't alone. There’s a man accompanying her and he got busy unloading things burdening his shoulder and back in a corner of the cave once he entered. That place is where his mother goes to drink or grab anything to eat when she feels hungry and from that Lin concluded that this man isn’t a stranger or some kind of visitor but someone who knew his way around the cave instead.

The man was almost naked like his mother with barely anything covering his body save for his privates! a few pieces of filthy fur wrapping here and there that’s all he wore and his bulky muscles decorated his tall body that reached over two-and-half meters in height. The man had long hair and beard of the black color that turned greyish-brown by the accumulated mud and dirt covering them plus the lack of showering since god knows when because in fact he smelled terribly bad and even worse than Lin’s mother! his hair though was the same like Lin's mother and clustered together by the accumulated dirt into a bunch of crooked hair-locks left drooping messily on his shoulder and back.

For a month now Lin never heard his mother speak once in any language! while after the man appeared in their cave he still didn't hear the two adults say anything at all. The only thing close to some form of language or communication attempts he heard coming from them is sounds of grunts from the couple when they wanted to grab the attention of one another.

The strong looking man appeared to be very happy when he held both Lin and his sister on each one of his huge and wide palms. First he raised them up to his eye-level for a closer look and the grin on the man's face was from ear to ear and he kept making these “oh... Ooo” voices from his mouth apparently pleased like a gorilla meeting its offspring for the first time! it was a sight that made the usually dazed mother smile when it happened.

'Careful! fuck, idiot this is dangerous, are you trying to kill us right now? at least let me go moron, I don’t feel good playing this game. This isn't the way to treat newborn babies man. Mom! Stop being a bystander and Save us before it is too late.' When the excited man started throwing Lin and his sister up in the air then catch them on their way back -on his banana-leaf wide palms- poor Lin was scared out of his wits and started to inwardly curse the reckless man's behavior.

His sister -literally- on the other hand was giggling loudly after each successful catch made by the father which made the excited man start to gradually throw the twins even higher and Lin began saying his last prayers inwardly because a single mistake is all it will take for his tender body to crash into this dangerous looking cave floor! the ground of this cave is mostly uneven and rough with many pointed tips everywhere. Lin really wished that he could speak to give this irresponsible father a prolonged lecture for three days and three nights straight on how to properly deal with newborn babies! thankfully Lin's mother noticed his panicked looks which he kept directing towards her and she saved the twins before any accident happened.

Pouting his lips slightly the macho-father made a sound : 'Meh.'. Then gave a careless gesture of waving his hands in the air as if saying : 'Whatever! you guys are no fun.' Then went to rest on the fur.

“Snore.... wheeze.... snore.... wheeze....”

In no time the father was asleep and Lin's mother went to the corner to check what her man brought back this time with interest filling her eyes.

-----

Next day Lin's mother didn't leave early in the morning which she usually does according to her routine. Taking advantage of this chance Lin started working on his shoulder movements now that his neck is able to hold the weight of his head albeit for a short time.

The only things his sister did with her life is to sleep and eat then repeat.

The mother only cleaned their mess once a day which is something that Lin wished she would do more often or use some of that water to clean him and his sister once per day or twice if possible! him swimming in his own shit when it happened in his sleep or being always covered by parts of it all day was something which kept the great-sage frowning to no end whenever he’s awake.

'Just what did I do wrong in my previous or current life to deserve this?' Lin wondered that over and over whenever the odor of his natural process invaded his nose and hated how he kind-of began to get used to this strong mixture of awful odors permanently unabating from their cave.

Lin wondered if their first month of life was spent in complete safety because of that foul smelling cave!

Being in this unhygienic environment since he was born only encouraged Lin further to work even harder on gaining control of his body faster so that he can change these wrong conditions sooner.

The father got glared-at by Lin's mother when he tried to play the dangerous game of tossing Lin and his sister at air when they woke up and Lin was thankful for her motherhood’s keen intuition. Grumbling like a kid who got denied from playing his favorite game the father first hung-down his head in dismay then shrugged and started another game of making Lin and his sister sit in place instead.

When he forced the boy to take the sitting position Lin sat for almost fifteen seconds before his neck failed his head and he tumbled to the side on the fur. Nodding with a grin on his face at this result the father tried to do the same to the girl and she kept tumbling right away to her side or back whenever he let go of her! scratching his head at this strange situation of inconsistency and looking over and over at his two kids. Finally the father decided that he has to fix that by focusing more on the girl to see to it that she sits normally for a time like her brother does. Sadly all his attempts on that day failed because whenever the father let go of his daughter she would quickly lean in some direction before falling.

Lin kept looking down arrogantly at his sister from above while she fell left and right then thought : 'Welcome to my world sis. This is only just the beginning.' he did his best to keep a flat smirk on the corner of his mouth when he received the endless glares from his sister in return and she quietly endured the bullying from their stupid father.

Finally the man got bored of playing that game with his children after two long days according to his daughter and two fun days according to his son! then he started to play another exciting game with the mother instead. For example he would pull her hair and slap her face or butt with his rough hands and quite forcefully in some instances! while she would answer his actions with her own by biting down on his rock-like muscles with her teeth and kick or punch his body in an un-lady-like moves and actions.

They did that for a whole week without getting bored and their smiles were always there on their faces while doing such extreme practices! not even once while they did these barbaric and rough actions to one another did they appear to be tolerating the other's behavior for any hidden reason and somehow Lin felt their pure intentions to become closer to one another by doing that.

Then the time came when Lin's mother had a different look at her face and she didn't even have enough patience to keep feeding both Lin and his twin-sister until they reach their fill.

His greedy sister seemed super excited and she intentionally kept making smacking sounds with her lips on the mother's boob when they fed and every time the little baby-girl did that a wave of shivering would electrocute the mother's skin from scalp to toe! finally when she couldn't hold her primitive-urges anymore the mother tore-away both of the feeding twins from her chest and ran for her man with a dreamy look all over her face.

Lin experienced a living-nightmare that night and what a very irritating discovery and annoyingly long and clear memory that was.

His parents started having sex! no gentleness included whatsoever and it was entirely the sole method of rough and wild cavemen's copulation. Not to mention that it was happening just a few meters right next to him and Lin was unable to cover his ears and sleeping didn't help him skip this improper event either because he woke-up from his sleep twice to find them still going at it like mad! even bunnies doesn't have that strong vigorous-vitality and libido.

The twin-sister was giggling non-stop and she watched excitedly while sucking her thumb and fought her sleepy eyes to stay awake and watch some more! Lin just wished for death the whole time he was awake because his parents went faster and rougher while picking-up their tempo a notch followed by another and another to no end.

The following week of the couple's life mostly consisted of snuggling or mating then eating followed by sleeping mostly. The mother's personality and treatment of the father changed from the earlier attitude of her glaring and snorting continuously like a lioness at the man whenever he tried to pull her attention! to meekly rubbing her cheeks in his chest like a burring-kitten while clinging to his neck like a koala almost all the time for no apparent reason.

Lin had to keep calling more than once for the mother to come feed them because most of the time this foolish woman would be dazing at her man's looks and staring at his face like an idiot while drawing circles with her finger on his chest! startled awake from her daydreams she –unwillingly- would leave his hug and go feed her babies.

Day fifty.

Lin finally managed to get rid of the primitive reflexes completely for two consecutive days now.

The father hugged his woman tightly at the cave entrance before taking his weapon which is a simple and crude stone-mace that is uneven in shape and lacking the basic balance of any weapon and it would be better used if broken in pieces then thrown one by one at the enemy! of course the annoying father didn't forget to lightly pinch both cheeks of his children before he left with a wide grin on his face.

Lin kept focusing all his efforts on doing the thing babies mostly does at six months of age or if they are early-starters then they would do it at four months young. which is? crawling.

Mostly Lin would lay on his stomach with his face buried in the fur and both of his hands spread flat next to him while his small legs would awkwardly try to push his body forward.

The giggling sounds of both his mother and sister were the worst encouragement possible for him to continue still he thickened his skin and tried to recruit his passive arms to help in this task which is proving to be a really hard thing to do at that early age! when he got tired Lin would fall asleep or rest in whatever awkward position he is in –because he would be very exhausted to fix his posture- then he would throw a glare or two at his lazy sister for daring to laugh at him earlier before continuing his exercise again when he’s rested enough.

Day eighty-five.

Lin can roughly move his arms around and his crawling task is finally done since he just crawled almost twenty meters without falling on his face. He felt his hands and legs becoming more capable after all these days of trying to crawl the right way.

Then the father returned again loaded with food supplies along with a few visible wounds at his right shoulder and wide back plus a few deep lacerating wounds at his left thigh. He came back right before the mother's food supply completely ran out and the woman ran for her man and started to gently trace his wounds with her fingers then she started to spit on her hand and smear that sticky liquid at each and every one of the man's wounds. Lin took it as an ignorant gesture from his mother in hopes for the wounds to heal faster but... Ewwww!

Right after helping her man sort out what he brought back from his hunting mission Lin's mother pulled her hunk by the arm to "bed" which is the biggest and thickest piece of fur in the whole cave.

Lin wasn't surprised at all by his mother's urgency for a man's rod because he and his sister both witnessed another nightmare for the boy and a sweet fantasy for the girl a few days ago when his mother started touching herself all night and poor Lin wished for death again while feeling endless shame for his mother. The sister however was feeling blessed when she watched her mother do such obscene action and moan without any care for the world.

After a whole week passed with the couple ignoring the babies most of the time unless the mother had to feed them or remove some of their piling mess. Finally the father lost his hardness! turning his attention towards his kids the father's eyes glinted when he saw his three months old boy doing his crawling routine.

Snatching Lin from the ground. The father started to force him to stand then let go of him suddenly! naturally Lin would end-up falling on his butt or sides when his knees failed to support his weight. The twin sister would giggle non-stop with a vindictive tune at his sight whenever he fell which would anger Lin and hurt his pride to some degree.

'Fuck, why is this dumb-ass only bullying me? Let go of me asshole! or at least do some of that shit to this lazy-ass sister too. I would like to see if she would keep giggling like a banshee-wraith when she falls on her ass. Man you're such a persistent bully with a one-way approach and you’re an annoying simpleton. Mom help, fuck she’s daydreaming again. This ongoing farce is making me wish if you would stop bullying me and go bang mom instead. Which is making me feel even worse for having such a wish in the first place. What kind of fucked-up situation is this?' Lin's thoughts were running everywhere when he suffered his father's version of tough love.

His lazy sister learned to stop her primitive-reflexes too and Lin was pretty sure that she only did it so that she would sleep soundly without having to be forcefully awoken by them against her will anymore. For a whole week the bulky-muscled man bullied Lin under the giggling music of his sister's laughs whenever the boy was awake and humped the moaning mother whenever he regained his ability to keep it up! and Lin was baffled by how simple and bleak the couple's lives were. Their days in the absence of language spent with the only types of entertainment they have is being in the pleasure of eating or drinking and sleeping or sleeping together! and these parents didn't seem to mind it at all and dealt with this boring life like this is the natural way to live.

Then at day ninety-nine of Lin's life after his father's wounds healed somewhat the man left again under the unwilling eyes of his wife and the ecstatic eyes of his young boy who got relieved from many sessions of getting bullied.

'Do make sure to take your sweet time, don't you dare return after a week or something old man.' Lin was inwardly jumping in joy since the bully who antagonized him for a whole week is leaving again.

After his father left Lin took a day off from his exercises and with a sly glint shadowing his eyes he crawled towards his twin sister and hugged her to sleep fully intent on making her angry with his clingy-ness. Unfortunately his sister's eyes were giving him nothing but teasing looks in return. Sighing within at his failed attempt Lin slept soundly and when his hunger woke him up he called for his mother with a few baby sounds to come feed them.

Next day Lin started to carefully crawl towards the nearest cave wall on the rough floor. Leaning on the wall he would stand up first then try to maintain his balance without relying on any support. The bullying from his father turned out to be not completely useless because Lin's two legs became a lot more capable of withstanding his weight afterwards. At least for a few seconds now he can still stand on his own without having to hold the rocks jutting from the wall to stop his body from falling.

The problem is the weather which started to change after sunset and get a bit too windy when it darkens. For days now and specifically at the couple of hours before sunrise Lin would wake up feeling cold and shivering all over.

'My bad immunity to cold weather has followed me in this life! that cave entrance really needs to be blocked. Ever since we were born I never stopped worrying because of it, if it remains open like that then not only can we be trapped in here by any intruding animal but also cold will keep slipping through it uninterrupted.' Lin thought when he nestled deeper between the folds of his mother's chest to get his cheeks warmer after he finished his meal.

He can't do anything the way he is right now and all Lin can do is try to grow up faster and fully control his body ahead of others in a similar age. That way he can start using his superior intelligence to make life safer, more comfortable, and a whole lot easier.

Day one-hundred and twenty-seven. "

The bully returned with some kind of a stag beast which he dragged by the horns behind him. Grinning smugly at his small family the cave-man stood on the freshly hunted deer and raised between his arms another leather bundle containing some seeds and fruits in some weird triumphant pose belonging to prehistoric people. Then the show was interrupted when Lin's father was dragged by the ears to bed by his horny woman to do his job of satisfying her needs. Next day the mother who turned again into her version of a meek-kitten started helping her man handle the work of collecting meat from the deer carcass.

The mother's belly started to swell and Lin was sure she was pregnant because if after all these nights of going at it like monkeys in heat and his mother still ending up not becoming pregnant now that would be a true miracle! collecting meat and washing the fur in the water source nearby then getting rid of the smelly innards and other matters took a whole day's worth of time from the couple.

After taking another week of doing his job of satisfying his woman the father’s member got soft and he turned his attention again towards his new favorite toy in this cave. Poor Lin! but when he tried to force Lin to stand up he saw Lin giving him a sneering expression and he stood perfectly still when he let go of him. Whenever Lin felt his weak legs unable to hold his weight anymore he would simply crouch down then use his open palms to support his body before sitting down calmly. Of course he didn’t forget to take a look up at his father's expression of shock and disbelief to feel some inner satisfaction.

'Heh. Did you think I'll let you have your fun bullying me forever? Well, think again. Snort.' Lin thought and he gave his father a contemptuous smile.

Lin's father kept scratching his head and tried to force Lin to stand up again and again yet baby Lin kept denying him the fun of watching his comical sight of tumbling left and right like a wooden stick obeying gravity.

“Giggle....”

The sight of the simple father scratching his head while frowning made Lin's sister burst out giggling and the father was startled when he just remembered something important.

“Ah!... Ooo...”

Snatching the poor girl he started showing her the cruelty of having a cave-man being your father and Lin never stopped laughing at the sight of his sister falling down while rolling her eyes at her father. She would glare at Lin from time to time with eyes that said : 'Stop laughing, silly!'

After nine days of basking in the pure bless of watching his father bully his twin-sister until she is exhausted to sleep Lin watched his father leave again on another one of his hunting missions. Lin's sister sighed in relief when she watched her father go away and flinched at the sound of Lin's giggles when he saw her expression.

Lin was trying to walk yet it proved extremely difficult to even take a step forward with these legs of his and standing for a dozen seconds would make them shake like jelly!

Lin's mother finally felt the change of weather and started making her own preparations for winter. She dried meat slaps under the sun and stored the seeds in a rock resembling a bowl then covered them well. Going outside the cave she would collect stacks of hay and dried plants then she would store them in a far corner and compress them with her feet for more space. Good thing that this cave is large or she wouldn't have found anywhere to store that large amount of hay.

At night she would cover the twins with a piece of fur and hug them tight to keep them warm. Lin's sister seemed to gain some strength from her father's earlier training from hell and whenever the mother planned to sleep the baby-girl would awkwardly crawl to her and bury herself in her mother’s chest then sleep with a satisfied and accomplished grin on her face.

After hitting a wall with his plans for walking Lin started to try and gain full control of his hands and fingers instead since grabbing something with his hands is easy while doing the same with his fingers is hard. Day after day Lin improved his physical capabilities while his sister ignored anything else other than her mother's body and her sweet resting time besides that she would be mostly asleep. Then the weather started to become harsher and nastier during daylight and gales of wind so cold and strong started swirling inside the cave to submerge it in a wicked combination of freezing coldness. At least that’s how Lin would describe these events.

Day one-hundred and sixty.

Some snow started to fall at night then melt when it’s daylight then that snow started to linger longer during daylight with each passing day. Finally after two weeks the snow managed to persist the entire duration of daylight without melting and by next daylight the white carpet of ice covered everything outside the cave in front of Lin's eyes.

Two days later after that happened the father returned and his skin was so pale from coldness to the degree of almost turning deep blue in color!

The large man looked very exhausted and dog-tired to drag behind him on the snow such a corpse of a large animal reaching more than four meters tall. The beast looked like a mix of different species with paws of a lion and the thick fur of a polar bear along with the long pointed skull of a horse and the feathery tail of a bird!

The father's other hand held a leather bundle over his shoulder and it looked to be loaded with something important for him because dragging that chimera-beast’s body single-handedly was a struggle.

Lin's pregnant mother couldn't hold back her tears when she saw the miserable sight of her man and after greeting him with a hard punch to the shoulder she helped him drag the weird animal inside the cave and it turned-out that the bundle is filled with seeds resembling wheat.

Lin's father went to sleep once the animal was secured in the cave and the sexually-frustrated mother didn't force him to satisfy her in his current state of peak-exhaustion. Instead she did her job of storing the seeds in other rock bowls and covered them then she heartlessly casted away Lin's baby twin sister when she tried to cling to her chest and went to snuggle in her man's embrace under the fur instead.

“Kakaka......”

Lin was absolutely amused by his sister's heartbroken expression when she watched her horny mother neglect her and he couldn't stop laughing at the sight.

“Snort.....”

The girl stretched her lips in disgust when her mother kept ignoring her then she crawled towards Lin at the edge of the fur carpets and snuggled in his chest instead. Lin was holding a few hay straws in his hands and training his fingers to be dexterous. After giving his younger sister some space to be comfortable in his embrace he continued his exercise of finger-joints manipulation.

The next two days his mother and father worked on the brown-furred animal and extracted from it a complete piece of fur that is large enough for eight people to sleep side by side on it plus a huge amount of meat that should suffice to last them this incoming winter.

Lin's mother scattered two thick layers of hay on the cave floor then placed the large new piece of brown fur on top.

Once Lin shamelessly tried to relocate to the new and comfy-looking brown bed he found his father who just finished pushing a huge stone to block the cave entrance and only left small space enabling any of the two adults to enter or exit sideways. Grabbed Lin by the scruff of his neck and heartlessly left him next to his twin-sister on the old bed then roughly carried-up his pregnant woman and placed her gently on the new bed before mounting her with style and expertise. Lin's sister had a look that wished for the existence of popcorn while watching her parents tussle in bed and Lin sighed inwardly then returned to his finger training with hay straws.

Lin's tongue still seems to be tied by an invisible knot and the only thing he can do to solve it is to struggle in untying it during every moment he’s awake.

One week later it became very cold that dear Lin felt like freezing if he got out from underneath the fur and his sister was the only one in the family being aware of all Lin's strong and weak points. She clung to Lin to keep him warm whenever she noticed signs of panic on her big brother's face and that happened to be the time his father's fires of lust got quenched. However the loud snores of his father in the following days were making Lin feel more and more irritated.

'Such a great father you’re, here I'm almost freezing from cold if it weren’t for sister’s help and you're sleeping like a baby. Great! just great really. Your snoring is top-class old man, keep up the good work.' Lin thought when he got pushed again by his father and was kept away from the parent's bed when he attempted to seek warmth from his mother's body.

Even though his father is asleep whenever Lin tried to get near his mother's body his father would somehow feel or sense his intrusion and push him away heartlessly with increasing roughness.

The days got darker in the cave during daylight and at night nobody could see his finger if the moon went missing from the sky and feeling your way would be the only option in that darkness.

Lin's father would go out in the freezing cold to replace their storage of water when it runs out or became frozen solid in its container and to throw away what Lin and his sister left next to their bed each day. Other than that he’s known to be asleep when his snores could be heard or awake when it became queit inside the cave and the father would remain laying on his back staring at thin air like a mute.

According to Lin's estimations it has been five weeks since his father returned from the last hunting mission. Currently he should be seven months old yet a problem remains in this situation. Which is? if that cold persisted for another two months then Lin is pretty dam sure that he wouldn't be able to outlive his very first winter.

"Ar... Ou.... Co... Dd?"

Lin asked his sister who was buried in his embrace and shivering from cold like him. The whistling sound of air when it passed through the ice blocking what remained of the cave entrance was the worst psychological enemy in these days of hardship.

No matter what happened between them in his previous life. No matter how many confusions and no matter how many mind games she played on him before. After living with his sister for almost seven months now Lin came to understand fully just how extremely simple his little sister are. Even though he knows that she used to be some part of him before. Right now she’s just an idiotic little sister who is happy to draw breath or breastfeed from her mother's tits and live her life laughing at funny interactions between her family members. Life is a new experience for her even though she used to live inside someone like Lin for almost thirty years she still never tasted or smelled never touched or interacted personally with her own flesh and bones.

Now that all these things -which his sister used to make fun-of earlier when she used to be just a resident inside him- were presented to her in person the simplest of pleasures made her aloof-self very humbled and signs of satisfaction could be found all over her face whenever she’s awake. Such life in a cave made the baby-girl smile and giggle to herself every now and then like a fool.

“En.....”

After she gave her old brother a nod of agreement the little sister bent her knees to her chest like a shrimp while sticking her back to his chest for some warmth.

“We.... Eed.... F...ir...ee....”

Lin knew that if he didn't take action now while his body isn't beyond the point of saving then it will be too late for regret later when he catches a cold. With these kinds of parents? Hehe. It will be all too good if they knew how to lower the temperature his body if he caught a fever despite there being tons of ice within hand's reach! hell he wouldn't take it personally and get offended if they took advantage of the situation and used him  to warm themselves like some kind of heat source or to rekindle their sexual relationship by placing him in their midst to be a candle or something!

Getting to the edge of bed Lin started by wrapping his arms and legs with two pieces of leather and crawled for the corner which his mother kept the hay after draping another piece of fur on his back. Once he arrived at the corner Lin didn't waste any time and dragged all he could get of the hay straws behind him and crawled back slowly to his and his sister's bed.

His bored mother was watching her boy curiously under the warming hug of her snoring man. Lin's mother is about five months in her pregnancy according to Lin's estimations. For a week now nothing she did would awaken her man's interest in her body and it was like cold had robbed them of the joy of enjoying one another and her usually energetic man got replaced with another version that never seems to respond to her needs in such weather.

Sighing endlessly day and night became her only theme while her sexual-frustration seemed to infinitely grow by the day alongside the baby in her womb. Now that her odd child did something to distract her from thinking with her vagina the mother paid close attention to her boy's actions with growing interest. She used to forget feeding her kid's yet the boy would always make sounds to remind her or crawl her way and drag her towards his twin-sister before feeding together with her. She saw Lin fully concentrated on making something with straws of hay! scratching her head in wonder she pushed her man's large arm away from her waist and went to watch her baby-boy up close.

Lin was stranding these straws into a thick disk that he plans to dip in water halfway from the bottom. Because his family lacked firewood and their stock of hay and dry plants can't last them if he burned it in this current raw form. He had to use water on this creation of straw to prevent it from burning out too fast.

After he finished Lin looked at the -noticeably large and much taller than his current height- rock bowl containing water at the farthest corner of the cave and knew he wouldn't be able to do such tiresome effort under these circumstances on his own without exposing himself to harm. Noticing the curious eyes of his mother who stood next to him for a while now Lin knew he has to try anything to recruit her to assist him.

“M... Om.... Uup....”

Grabbing the straw disk with one hand Lin stood up and raised his arms for his mother to carry him.

Tilting her head to the side the woman gave her eldest child a quizzical look.

After insisting with his raised arm and nodding repeatedly to encourage his mother finally Lin's mother bent over and raised him from the armpits to her level and kept giving him confused looks. When he got what he asked for Lin rewarded his obedient mother with a kiss to the cheek. Even Lin himself wondered just how did he get used to dealing with this mother of his and keep being intimate with her normally despite her bad smell and all that dirt covering her body. Then he sighed because actually no one in this small family isn't smelly and dirty with an urgent need for a hot shower and an extra dose of spraying perfume all over their body to make the stink go away! the mother became pleased with her son's sweet gestures and hugged him tightly then gave him a few cheek-rubs which is her way of conveying her feelings of appreciation and love.

“Gg... Oo...”

Pointing at the water bowl Lin told his mother to take him in that direction. His mother squinted slightly and wasn't sure about this at all because maybe her young child is messing with her. Lin's next action of giving her neck a cute hug made the mother giggle carelessly and take her son there anyway even if Lin is just wasting some of her time and once she did Lin rewarded her with another kiss to the cheek.

The method of reward and distractions continued and Lin finally convinced his mother to remove the stone lid over the water bowl. Lowering him to dip the lower half of the straw disk in the water then going back to where they came from at the edge of the old bed. When they returned the mother thought the game her son is playing was over and prepared to go warm herself in her man's embrace once again and Lin held on to her leg then shook his head repeatedly aiming to stop her from leaving just yet.

Again tilting her head to the side and Looking at her strange boy the mother waited for any kind of explanation be that a gesture or sound from the baby-boy. Lin answered by patting the bed next to him when he sat down and his intentions couldn't be any clearer. Sit down was the message then without waiting for his mother’s response Lin grabbed a small stone the size of his palm and started to crush some dry straws into powder.

“Tak... tak... tak...”

His mother didn't sit but she didn't leave either and stood there watching her baby-boy work.

Lin inwardly sighed in relief because his mother didn't leave and the next step of his plans will be extremely hard for him to do on his own without possibly exposing himself to some harm. After creating a tiny mound of dry straw-powder Lin started making a circle of rocks two meters away from the edge of his and his sister's bed. Then placed the straw disk with the wet half facing down in the middle of that rock circle. Scattering dry straw-powder on the dry side of the straw disk Lin was finally finished with his part of the plan.

“Snore... snore...”

Hearing that annoying sound Lin became more adamant on not giving the honor of making fire to his father.

Gesturing for his bewildered mother to come closer Lin placed one stone in each of her hands then it took him almost ten minutes to convey his true intentions to his mother. Finally The mother gave Lin an excited nod before she started to hit these two rocks against one another with force.

“Oah!...”

Once the spark actually happened Lin's mother was scared out of her wits and it was like she just saw a ghost. Screaming aloud while letting go of the two stones then her body's position changed from squatting to falling on her butt then scurrying back a great distance with fear all-over her face.

“Giggle... ch... ie... k... e'nn.”

Lin's sister was very amused by the sight of her scared mother and squeezed these sounds out after some struggle then continued to laugh.

Suddenly blushing fiercely when she heard and saw her baby-girl's reaction to herself being scared. Lin's mother huffed-and-buffed her cheeks with embarrassment then got up and snatched his twin-sister from underneath the covers of fur with one hand then turned the baby-girl over at her other opened palm.

“Pa... pa... pa...”

“Humph...”

Spanking loudly on these cute buttocks thrice the mother humphed loudly afterwards then tucked her baby-girl back under the fur.

“Wuuuuu...”

Lin's sister started to touch her butt under the fur and whined in a loud childish tune.

“Do... u'n... be'ei... s'c... ar'd...”

While smiling broadly when it happened Lin was quick to recover and regain his composure and patted his mother's back of the hand to assure her. Honestly the earlier sight of his sister getting spanked only needed a camera to record it.

Nodding once the mother gave her kind son a hug and a kiss then a warning glare to the mischievous daughter to stop whining. Taking a deep breath to calm herself Lin's mother gathered her courage and picked the two stones to start once again. Her competitive spirit was ignited after Lin's sister earlier offense even though she didn't understand what her daughter said. The woman still got the gist of it : 'She got scared hahaha.' That’s why the mother didn't hesitate to spank her daughter's butt because she felt ashamed of herself for being scared in the first place and even more ashamed when her daughter made fun of her.

When the spark happened again she did her best not to let go of the stones in her hand yet her heart almost jumped from her chest from trepidation.

“Ai... e'm... e'ere...”

She missed the second spark and Lin kept gesturing with his hands to aim the spark at the disk he prepared.

Nodding again after understanding his intentions the mother failed again on the third and fourth attempts to hit the disk with the spark as well but her fear and agitation were gone while excitement replaced them and she finally managed to hit the dry powder with her spark.

She watched her son carefully blow air at the bit of "dancing white" coming from where the glowing thing fell on the disk then she got scared shitless once again by the hot and orange thing that appeared afterwards and kept dancing in place while casting scary shadows everywhere on the cave walls around her.

Before she got over her shock the mother found her baby-boy sighing in relief and he sat next to that thing and directed a huge smile towards her. It was in that moment when Lin's mother felt her growing-fear suddenly vanish and her nervousness disappear without any lingering trace.

'Let's give her a proper meal next.' Lin thought when he saw his mother's agitating emotions getting settled and calming down. Indeed he’s very happy with this small accomplishment because this fire not only signifies that his life is assured to last this winter against cold if nothing untoward happens but also it meant that he can start repaying this woman for delivering him into this world plus how he can continue and develop his body despite the harsh weather outside.

“Up...”

Lin made his mother take him in a tour to find any crystalized salt on the walls of the cave and he was lucky to find a few spots of accumulated rock-salt. After gathering some of them he made his mother bring some meat along with a few handfuls of the different seeds in stock plus one of the stone bowls filled with water. The wheat seeds he took double the amount of it compared to the other seeds in stock. After arranging the materials he gathered from his parent's food supplies in front of his bed Lin started to get busy with work on his next project.

While he worked on cutting one meat slap to small pieces his little sister came out from under the covers to rub him with an indignant look on her face that asked for pampering after their mother wronged her by spanking her ass. Lin smiled at such sight of cuteness and hugged his sister under his wing. Resting her head on his thigh Lin patted her sore butt and caressed it with his left hand then he gestured for his mother to place the water container on top of the fire carefully with the right hand.

Lin's mother became attentive to all of his gestures and somehow she didn't need him to repeat his gestures twice for her to understand his true intentions anymore! maybe that’s because her normal life with her man relied on communication through rough gestures and Lin’s sign-language made an upgrade to the mother’s communication patterns.

Placing the mixture of seeds then some salt in the water Lin added the small pieces of shredded meat into the mix. While waiting for the water to boil he started to peel-off the outer layers of wheat seeds one by one while gesturing for his mother to stir the stew whenever he gave the circular sign with his fore-finger.

Placing a wide and flat rock at a side of the rock circle Lin lined four slaps of meat on top to grill slowly then started using another stone to crush the wheat seeds which he planned to turn them into some resemblance of flour. When his weak arms reached their limit of endurance he made his mother replace him and from that point she continued doing all the hard work instead.

The excited mother started to crush the wheat seeds enthusiastically under the directions of Lin and when she finished a nice pile of wheat-flour he gave her a few pieces of meat to mince them into fine shreds as well.

Adding some water and a few pinches of salt to the flour his mother made Lin started making meat-buns filled the with the minced meat then arranged them inside a make-shift triangular oven made from two flat rocks leaning against each other on top of a third flat rock and all they had left to do is wait for the food to be cooked. Hugging his younger twin-sister and watching his excited mother smiling from ear to ear while enjoying the warmth of the fire Lin felt slightly accomplished and pleased with himself in that moment.

His own hard work all these previous months plus his father's training from hell had led to him being able to somewhat crudely make-do with his miniscule capabilities and lacking resources and the taste of success wasn't all that bad.

“Snore... snore... wheeze...”

The only thing out of place in this situation is the father's snoring background-music which could go on forever.

When the mother heard the irritating sound she heartlessly stepped on the sleeping father's chest when she went to get the two smaller stone bowls -which Lin requested since the food is about to be ready for her to consume- and the smell alone made the mother drool and lick her lips with expectations then when on her way back with the two stone bowls in hand the mother didn't forget to step on the father's chest again in her return then clicked her tongue with a contemptuous gaze on her face when she looked down at her man who slept like a rock and snored louder than thunder.

She had no plan in waking him up to enjoy the moment with her and was just venting some bent-up feelings of annoyance because it has been a while since he did his duty of getting on top!

Taking one of the small stone bowls -which was somewhat heavy for him to carry- with both arms from his mother Lin patted his sister's head comfortingly then moved her away from his thigh that was starting to get numb from keeping this position for a long time while supporting the weight of his crying sister.

When Lin was about to scoop some of the boiling soup for his mother.

“Aoh!... oah... hoa...”

His father woke-up and the existence of fire inside the cave scared him to the extent of retreating back from bed all the way until his back was stuck against the cave wall. The man kept waving his arms left and right in the air with panic in his eyes while making sounds for his family to come next to him away from that unknown and strange thing which kept dancing left and right while changing color and shape.

“Snort...”

His wife gave him a contemptuous sidelong-glance first then raised her shoulders and snorted loudly before ignoring him then looking towards Lin for instructions.

“Ei!... eh...”

The husband knew that he just embarrassed himself in front of his woman when he saw her careless reaction then hung his shoulders down and walked towards his family cautiously while feeling disheartened inwardly.

When Lin's father got near the stew bowl he was tempted by the floating pieces of meat on top of the fire. Stretching his arm and aiming to dip it in the bubbling water to fish-out that delicious looking piece of meat.

“Fa... d'er... no!...”

Lin shouted to warn his father of the danger of getting scalded by hot and boiling water.

The mother like an expert huntress with precise reflexes once she saw the panicking expression on her son’s face then heard the sound of Lin when he shouted. She lightning-quick stretched her arm and caught the father's ear and used one of her sure-working submission technique over her man's to stop him by twisting with all her power.

Dragging her husband to stand in front of his son obediently with his head lowered to the limit of what her hands can reach downwards! Lin's mother gave an inquisitive look at her son and it felt like she’s saying : 'What do you want to do with him?'

Lin smiled ruefully at this scene because right now he felt willingness from his mother to throw the father in the boiling pot if he gave her the sign!

“Es... o'ot...”

Once Lin pointed at the bubbling liquid and gave the gesture of pain while telling them of the dangers of extreme heat he found his mother smirking evilly then took his father's arm and cruelly dipped it elbow-deep in the boiling stew!

“Owoh!...”

Lin shivered when he saw this action from his mother who smiled gloatingly like a succubus in action then he hurriedly took them to the cold water and pointed at it.

“Es... c'o... d...”

Once he gave his mother the sign of repeating what she did in the boiling stew earlier with his father's arm she did and his father smiled stupidly when the scalding feeling he felt on his arm started to disappear gradually and get replaced with another feeling. He only got that feeling when he woke up from his sleep to take a long leak after feeling like bursting out if he held it inside any longer. Seeing her man's stupid grin Lin's mother carried her baby-boy towards the fire and ignored her man's disgusting sight of standing like a fool grinning while stirring cold water with his arm.

Lin started scooping food for his parents and gave them grilled meat and smoking hot meat-buns with large bowls filled with meat stew and tender seeds. Same seeds that the couple used to struggle on chewing them raw every winter previously to satiate their hunger!

While they ate the food their son offered them and demanded more with stretched arms and wide smiles decorating their faces the couple's tears fell without them knowing and the mother was unlike the father who only woke up later after everything was done and over-with.

She step by step watched her son do it all from the very beginning and joined him on this excited journey from scratch and in a few hours he made her eat the best food she ever ate. Gave her the opportunity to see the strangest things ever and do the most exhilarating adventure without leaving the safety of her cave. While she ate the mother kept stopping then giving Lin some hugs and kisses despite how much she wanted to spend all that time eating more than her man!

Lin just smiled and patted his mother's hand then went to rest. He decided to try the new bed that he got prevented the luxury of sleeping on it before by his father. One minute after he rested his head Lin felt his body being moved away and he was rolled to his old bed like a gourd getting kicked by a naughty kid!

Once he opened his eyes he found that his warm food reignited his father's weak flames of vigor and the mother who acted like an angry lioness before was currently on all fours and sticking her butt up with excitement all-over her face.

Sighing. Lin turned to face the other side to avoid seeing what comes next however he couldn't avoid hearing the loud moans and grunts despite trying to block it by pressing a piece of fur on his ear.

Seven months old he gave warmth to his mother's... fire to his father's... and they’re still doing shameful acts in front of little children.
