Reborn From Oblivion by Christia Muray

Morris let out a big yawn. The day had worn him out with all the young women clamoring for his attention, and Lincoln's endless chatter at night had drained what little energy he had left. All he wanted now was a solid night's sleep to recharge his batteries.

For the time being, whatever Lincoln said went. "Alright, Uncle, tomorrow you can give me a crash course in advanced math. Let's find out if I've got any talent for it."

Lincoln chuckled warmly. "Your mom was a whiz at math competitions, and she wasn't too shabby with regular math either. I believe in you. You've got her genes, so you're definitely not lacking."

Morris nodded, as humble as ever. "If you say so, Uncle, I'll give it my best shot."

Satisfied, Lincoln left the room. Morris collapsed onto his bed, completely spent, and soon drifted off into a deep sleep.

The next morning rolled around. Morris was jolted awake by Lincoln's voice. "Nathan, it's almost noon! How can you sleep so much?"

Morris blinked groggily, taking in Lincoln's look of disappointment, feeling a bit lost.

"Get up and grab some breakfast. Once you're done, we're diving into some advanced math. You should be grateful for having a tutor like me for free. Don't waste this chance."

With Lincoln's constant chatter in the background, Morris managed to get dressed and brush his teeth. When he went downstairs for breakfast, he noticed Nathalie was nowhere to be seen, which suddenly piqued his interest.

"Where's Nathalie? Isn't it the weekend? She doesn't have work today!"
