Chapter 3:

  Well, being changed and breastfed this morning was quite a jarring experience.

  Others might wonder why I’m not freaking out more.

  Even if something killed and reincarnated me, the fact of the matter is, there is nothing I can do about it.

  In my old world, the rest of my family was dead or distant from me.

  My grandmother, who raised me, died a year ago.

  And my last close family member, my dog, died a few days before this happened to me.

  This was a chance to start over from scratch, that others would wish for.

  To top it all off, it looks like I was born into a loving family with parents that seem to get along pretty well.

  I still couldn't see very well.

  Everything was bright and blurry.

  Raising my hand in front of my face, I could only observe a fleshy-colored blob.

  How long does it take for a baby's eyes to develop?

  I could at least hear my mother moving around the house.

  How is she moving around so energetically?

  There must be exceptional healers in this world.

  Focus!

  I should have some time before these champions hunt me down, otherwise, it would be a boring game to watch… right?

  …

  I should do whatever I can to improve, even when I'm small.

  I also need to look at the [Help] section of my system, that might explain more.

  {

  }

  Wait… is this my system or the system of this world?

  My old system had more information on my character sheet but didn't have a help section.

  I'll have to keep an ear out.

  Is this one of those unusual worlds where systems don't exist, like the books I've read?

  In the meantime… [Help].

  {

  }

  Wow, this feels excessive for only two options, but it looks like I can review the things that I've analyzed?

  [Basic Information].

  {

  }

  The [Our Game] section just reiterated the screens I saw when I woke up.

  However, [The System] section satisfied my curiosity by providing additional information on certain topics.

  {The System is an inherent part of the user's soul and travels with him. It comprises a set of smart windows for quantifying, displaying, and tracking information about the user. The windows in the System will update information in real-time, and they will display more information as things are discovered in the world and about those within it.}

  It was succinct, but that explains why new things are popping into my main screen and that it traveled with me to this world.

  Mother: [OK hun, how about we go on a little walk, getting a little bit of sun will be good for our health.]

  Seriously, how resilient is she?

  Wait, how resilient am I?

  I was just born yesterday!

  …

  I could make myself sleep!

  If I am asleep, maybe she won't want to go for this walk.

  I still haven't examined [Comprehend Languages], let's see here.

  {Comprehend Languages: A skill that allows you to understand languages, without having to learn them.}

  OK, looks like an upgraded version of my old [Language Comprehension] trait.

  Mother: [Let's get you into your buggy and we'll take a nice walk down to the market.]

  Crud!

  Analyze! Analyze!

  {

  }

  Oh, her name is Sara.

  I can use this on external things too, neat.

  …

  Wait, why have I not feel asleep?

  {

  }

  Welp, glad I'm growing steadily at least…

  I also just realized that I know nothing about babies.

  Taking a 1-day-old for a stroll may be normal.

  We approach a dark spot on the wall, possibly a door.

  Whoa!

  The stroller I was in spun around quickly.

  *Creak*

  That's a bright light behind me…

  This is going to be ok, right?

  As I travel through the doorway, I no longer think so.

  It's bright!

  Way too bright!

  {*Ding* Auto Aperture skill up}

  Neat a new skill.

  Still too bright!

  {*Ding* Auto Aperture skill up}

  Sara(soothing voice): [There, there. Let me fix that.]

  She said, moving the buggy hood over me for better cover.

  {*Ding* Auto Aperture skill up}

  I'm making a solemn vow to learn more about babies

  Even if I don't have one of my own someday, I just don't want to mess up someone else's.

  Forcing pass out mode now!

  Analyze

  {Auto Aperture: A skill that allows your eyes to adjust to changes in light.}

  So, normal pupil contractions?

  {Golden Fleece: A ?boon? granted by []. It bestows currently unknown benefits to you and grants golden fur to the user, designating them as the Lamb for the game.}

  It… changed… this… is…
