Chapter 2 - Chapter 1: A New Beginning Part 1

As I opened my eyes, I felt different. Which is obvious, I'm now in a baby's body.

As I looked around, I was in a hospital room. It doesn't look modern at all, nothing like on Earth. The room was made of wood and had an oversized window. Looking around, I just realised I was being held in some lady's arms. I guess it's the nurse's arms, since what I'm guessing to be my mother is in the bed.

"Hey, nurse, why isn't my baby screaming?" my mother said, her voice shaking.

Ah shit I forgot I'm a baby now. I've got to put my Oscar-worthy acting skills to use.

"Wah-wah!"

"Don't worry, ma'am, he's fine, must just be a strong little fellow.", the nurse said with a smile.

I tried saying something, but it turns out I can only scream. An adult in a baby's body is pure torture. Besides that… it turns out babies can't control their bladders.

"Wah-WAH-WAHH" I screamed at the top of my lungs.

I pissed myself. That's really embarrassing to admit.

Wait, another thought, am I technically a baby, or an adult now? Since mentally I'm a twenty-seven-year-old, but my body is that of a baby. Oh well, as long as no one finds out I'm fine.

As the nurse went to change my diaper, I just realised how bad it stinks.

Returning to the room, the nurse gave me to my mum. It was obvious my mother had cried after we left the room since she had tear marks. But I do think it was happy tears since she looks relieved.

Just realised, my mother and dad have the same hair and eye colour, both have brown hair and amber eyes. What are the chances of that? Wait, they aren't related or anything, right? I don't want any problems from inbreeding…

Phew. I already have a lot to worry about. Like, this is crazy. I prayed daily for years, and only after I was down bad, only then did I die and reincarnate. I'm genuinely not so sure why I'm so fine with this. Like with my old mental state and this? I should be broken.

I feel like death would've been better than being stuck in a child's body.

The next few years are going to be torture. Life in a baby's body is horrible, can't walk, talk, go to the toilet properly, read books, read manga, read webnovels, watch anime, like I can't do anything. Oh well, it can't be much worse than being bullied daily for years..

As I grew up, I tried to just learn how to do the basics as soon as I could. When I turned a year old, I could already walk, and even learnt how to go to the toilet. Like I heard, some babies back on Earth couldn't go to the toilet till they were two years old.

On my walks with my mother, I realised this world was way, way different to Earth. Based on the architecture, this world was in the Renaissance era. The architecture is crazy cool, I wish we had stuff like this on Earth, like every big building looks like those old cathedrals.

The only thing I find weird is that I understand the language here. Like, it doesn't resemble anything I've had on Earth. I can read stuff, but it's in these weird symbols. The only thing I can't do is write, but that should be simple to learn.

Whenever we went on walks, she'd talk to people and they'd yap for so long, I would try to throw a tantrum, but it's like they become deaf to their surroundings when talking. The only good thing from their talks is that I've heard bits and pieces of stuff.

Like, I've heard people say 'Menton'. I think it's the name of where I live, but I might be wrong. Adding on to places, I've heard something called an Imperium. Don't know what that is, but it could be the capital.

People here are also nice. Public order is great here. Like on Earth, you'd hear an argument every couple of seconds and lots of people shouting. Here, absolutely nothing, even when people bump into each other, they just say 'Oh sorry, are you fine?'.

I thought Ester was some evil God or the devil, since I thought I felt him laughing when he sent me off to be reborn, must've been imagining things. I thought I'd be sent to a dystopian ESC world, but I'm in some sort of utopia. Lucky me.

People here also use a bit of magic, like I've seen people clean the streets with stuff like air magic. Wow, how surprising that they can use magic. It didn't come as a surprise since I have a system. But all I know is that I'm going to use my magic and become rich as hell. Yeah, yeah, I know it's super cliché but I ain't going to be broke like in my last life.

The only bad thing here is that I don't think anime or web novels exist. So that's just makes this world a whole lot worse. Life without anime isn't life.

Okay, okay I'll stop with these cringy ass jokes.

I'll talk about something useful. Hmmmm. Got it. I'll talk about my parents. So my mother's name is Laiya, and my dad's name is Edward. Don't know their last names, and I can't ask as I'm a baby. Oh, and my name is Kyle. My parents call me 'Kylie-bear', every time I hear that, I want to die of cringe.

My parents actually seem to be proud of me. My parents seemed shocked at how quickly and easily I learnt how to walk. At first, I played with them and did the puzzles they gave me, but they are so easy, so now I just throw a tantrum when they try to give me one.

Besides that, I don't think I have siblings, and I'm far too young to find anything else out…
