Few weeks have gone by, and I finally learned how to crawl.
Yes, you heard me. To crawl.
Why was this surprising? Well, in my previous life, it takes 6-10 months for a baby to learn how to coordinate with their hands and legs. It takes that long for them to figure out how to use their muscles to crawl. But in my case, despite having weak strength, I finally have learned how to crawl.
Either the life here in this world is different or because I was a reincarnation that this baby body that I am in learned how to crawl at an early age.
I watched everyone's reaction and after witnessing their dull and little surprised expressions, a newborn baby crawling after a few weeks was not so surprising in this life.
But no matter how many times I try to crawl, I get tired easily because I lack the strength and stamina I need in order to function well. So, I devised a training plan that this baby body could do easily: Every morning before the maids do my routine, I would crawl for about 3 minutes. That's right. 3 minutes was my max. But I could do better in the future.
After lunch, I'll have a breathing routine to increase the capacity of my lungs. I know it sounds stupid, and our lungs expand as we grow, but it is better to start early. I mean, everything doesn't sound stupid if this baby body could eat a meal worth for an entire family so it will make sense if I say breathing could help increase this body's lung capacity.
That, or unless being crazy has inflicted my head.
At night, once the maids finished doing my routine, I would meditate for about 10 minutes. Meditation helps me clear my head. It also helps me unlock some muscles in this baby body that no newborn babies could use.
However, when I meditate at night, in the black world that I see, there are tiny particles of light that seem to be floating around me. Whenever I open my eyes, they fade away.
Weird, isn't it? What's more trailblazing is that those tiny lights seem to be moving towards me.
During my time as a General, I have never been wary or scared of the unknown. But this time, it is making me nervous. A little. Unless it's just the baby's instinct to be naturally afraid of the unknown.

A month has passed by, and I kept doing this routine every single day until I was able to stand. However, I needed to hold onto something to be able to completely stand up straight for only 5 seconds.
I know. It's short. But I'm improving at least.
I also learned something groundbreaking in this life as well.
First, the universe I lived in. This universe is called Zolgar. People like us, instead of being called 'humans', we are called 'Zolgarians'. This universe was one of the original worlds that the Creator made.
That's right. The same Creator who made Heaven and Earth. The same Creator who died for humanity in the cross.
Second, the family I was born in wasn't only rich. But this family is also a military family type who has a close relationship with the Royals of this world.
Benedict Luminosity, my father, is the current head of this family, and also the current General of the Zolgarian Army. Remember the two soldiers who were guarding the dining room? They were part of the Zolgarian Army that were personally hired by my father.
Additionally, they call soldiers here 'Guardians', not soldiers. It sounds weird to me because I am used to calling those who were in the military 'soldiers', but in this world, they call them 'Guardians'.
My mother, Christina Von, is a Master ranking in the Universe. Let me explain:
There are four titles that are common in this universe: First, if you are just an ordinary citizen of this world, you are called a Zolgarian and nothing else. Second, if you join the Zolgarian Army, you are given a title 'Guardian'. That means you are no longer called a Zolgarian nor will act like one. Third, Master. At one point, a Guardian will reach the title Master. Last title and the rarest of them all, Grand Master.
I don't know what's up with the Master and Grand Master titles, but right now, those are not my priorities. I am an ordinary Zolgarian. A citizen of Zolgar.
In this world filled with unknowns, I have to be careful and keep on observing how Zolgarians act, or else they will figure out I am different from the rest.
It will take time, but patience is the key to success. Just like on the battlefield.
