Chapter 2: I'm Royalty?
After three more hours of being held by mother and father, my mother was escorted to my crib which she lay me down in. The crib had fence like walls that were made of wood that could almost be seen sparkling.
While I was amazed at the artwork of the crib mother had begun to speak.
"Just wait here Joel, i'll go bring in your brothers and sisters." Mother exited the room and soon I was all alone. I was waiting for mother to open the door when a light appeared in front of me.
A blue screen had appeared before my eyes floating in midair. I was able to move my neck slightly but it wasn't much. The letters were in english so I could understand them and they read the following.
[Quest Issued: Build the foundations for a healthy body.]

My mind was racing at the thing that has appeared before my eyes. 'What is that thing?'
'What do I do?!' I internally screamed. 'Uh, this is really weird, should I try it out?' I asked my self.
I proceeded to attempt to move my neck sideways but it was like I had no control over my body at all as my neck flipped my head entirely on its side. It took me 15 minutes minutes to move my head sideways 15 times.
By the end of that I had completed this much of the quest.

I began to move my arms sideways and felt little resistance. The screen stopped counting at 7.5/15 completed from moving my arms horizontally.
I begun to move my arms vertically but I felt almost a sharp jab in my arms as I felt some serious resistance. It felt like I was pushing up 1 80 kilogram pole above my head. I completed the set after 10 minutes as it was easier then moving my head.
I proceeded to complete my legs set as well which was just as hard as my arms were.
By this time I had almost completed the quest.

I tried to move my tongue but it would only move slightly. I tired to make sounds and my set finished in under a minute. I was surprised that sounding like a dying dog could count as trying to talk?
I now only had to attempt to crawl 20 times before I could finish the quest. I began to move all parts of my body simultaneously as my body attempted to roll over.
I fell on my back immediately as my counter ticked to one. I was out of breath on the firsts one and I begun to dread doing these exercises more and more as time went on.
I was now at 19/20 and my body was seriously aching. I pushed through the pain and finished my quest as I fell on my back once more.

'WHAT?!' I roared in my mind, I have to do this for 31 days?!' 'What is this shit?!' I cursed in my mind.
I suddenly felt a cold wave come over my body that felt refreshing and almost put me to sleep. I felt all my baby strength return plus even more as my eyesight got even clearer then before.
*Creek* I head the door open as I was in the middle of a mental fit and I was slowly and gently picked up off the crib into mothers arms.
My head was turned to the left to see six people standing before me with a mixture of expressions.
"Now Joel these are your brothers and sisters which are the princes and princess' of our country."
'What? Did I hear that right? Princes and Princess' of a country are my siblings? Wait... Hold on... DOESN'T THAT MEAN I'M ROYALTY TOO?'
