Life Before Becoming an Omniverse Entity-Chapter 47: Calm down, Namari

Namari froze, her mind racing to make sense of what she was seeing. Her confusion lasted only a second before it was replaced with something else—anger.

Her expression darkened, and she clenched her fists as she took a step forward, her voice turning sharp and demanding.

"Who are you?"

Renan tilted his head at Namari’s question, feeling confused by what she was asking.

’Huh, i didn’t die, but What is she saying? Does she not recognize her own child? Has she been so lost in training that she forgot what her own son looks like?’ Renan thought inwardly, his brows furrowing slightly.

But before he could voice his confusion, he suddenly felt something unusual—an unfamiliar sensation at the backside of his body.

’Hmm? What is this feeling?’ he wondered as a strange awareness crept over him. It was as if something was attached to him, something moving independently. Instinctively, he turned his head to look behind him, trying to locate the source of this foreign sensation.

When his gaze finally settled on what was causing it, his eyes widened in shock.

Three long, bushy tails, dark and silky with a slight sheen under the room’s light, swayed behind him.

’Huh? Tails?’ Renan’s mind blanked for a second as he processed what he was seeing. His breathing hitched as he slowly realized that the tails were not just in the room—they were connected to him.

’Wait… when did I grow tails?!’ he thought in utter disbelief, his mind struggling to comprehend the situation. This was impossible. He had always been a dragon—or at least, he thought he was.

Just as his surprise was about to spiral into panic, Namari’s voice rang out again, snapping him back to reality.

"Are you deaf? Did you not hear what I said?!" she shouted, her patience wearing thin.

Namari had burst into the room expecting to see Renan, but instead, she found an unfamiliar fox-eared child standing there. Her sharp eyes scanned the boy in front of her, taking in his features—his black hair, his golden eyes, and, most strikingly, his three swaying tails. But there was no sign of Renan.

Her instincts flared with alarm. Where was her son? Who was this child? Had something happened to Renan?

She had called out to him, demanding an answer, but instead of responding, the fox child had simply tilted his head in confusion. Then, to make matters worse, he had ignored her completely and turned around, staring at his own back like some clueless fool.

This only fueled her irritation.

"Are you deaf? Did you not hear me?!" Namari repeated, her voice sharper this time.

Her red eyes flared with frustration as she took a step closer. Her mind raced with possibilities. Could this child be an intruder? Or worse—could something have happened to Renan.

She clenched her fists, ready to take action. If this kid didn’t start talking soon, she would make him talk.

Renan, who was just as confused as Namari by the event that had just happened, didn’t know what to say. He simply stared at Namari, his mind racing.

’What am I supposed to say? That, "Mother, I just touched some golden-colored energy inside my body, and then boom—I transformed into a fox with three tails,"?’ he thought inwardly.

’I mean, this is a fantasy world with dragons and other monsters, so it might be surprising, but it’s still believable, right?’

Renan prepared himself to answer Namari, but before he could even open his mouth, another person suddenly appeared beside Namari. In a swift motion, they delivered a karate chop to her head.

"Calm down, Namari," the voice said firmly.

It was Ruston.

"Huh?" Namari made a confused sound as she felt the sudden hit on her head, though it was so light it felt more like a pat. She turned around immediately, and there stood Ruston, his hand still lingering over her head as he looked at her with his usual composed expression.

"You’re being too irrational," Ruston stated, his voice calm yet firm.

"Huh? What do you mean by that, Father?!" Namari asked, frustration seeping into her voice. "I’m asking an unknown child who suddenly appeared in Renan’s room while Renan himself is nowhere to be found! I even checked the entire castle with my mana senses, and I couldn’t sense him anywhere! How do you expect me to be rational when Renan has disappeared right in front of my eyes?!"

Her words were filled with emotion, her worry for her child overriding any logical thinking.

Ruston, however, remained as composed as ever. He understood that Namari was reacting out of concern rather than thoughtlessness, so he decided to help her understand.

"Namari, observe that child again carefully and tell me what you see and understand," Ruston instructed, his voice steady and authoritative.

Namari wanted to argue. She wanted to tell him that there was no time to waste standing around when they should be searching for Renan instead. However, when she looked into Ruston’s calm, unreadable eyes, she hesitated.

Her father was not the type of person to stay relaxed if something had truly happened to Renan. If he was this calm, then there must be a reason for it.

’Hmm… Maybe Father already knows where Renan is. That’s why he isn’t worried,’ she thought.

Taking a deep breath, she turned her attention back to the fox child who was still standing there, looking increasingly nervous under her gaze.

’What exactly am I supposed to see that I haven’t already noticed?’ Namari wondered as she carefully examined the child’s every feature.

He had black fox ears, three tails, golden eyes, and a face that seemed strangely familiar.

’Wait a second…’ she thought as she focused on his facial structure. ’His face... It looks almost identical to Renan’s! If I ignore the differences in hair and eye color, then…’

A sudden realization struck her.

’No way...’

She narrowed her eyes and activated her mana senses, scanning the child in front of her. And that was all she needed to finally understand.

Namari’s eyes widened as she turned sharply to face Ruston. "But Father, how is this possible?!" she asked, her voice filled with disbelief.

Ruston shook his head slightly. "I don’t know either," he admitted. "But instead of guessing, we can simply ask him."

Namari followed Ruston’s gaze back to the fox child—no, to Renan.

Ruston looked directly at the transformed boy and asked, "Renan, how did you turn into a fox?"
