Chapter 2

I am now around 2 months old and I have come to learn quite a bit about where I am. The place where I live is called Anstone and that is only one of the empires inside of the massive continent Elorea.

There are 3 other empires that populate the continent and each one has their own characteristics for their empire when it comes to war and military.

The empire that I am apart of takes pride in having numbers in their army rather than the quality of its soldiers, not to say that the army doesn't have strong members, it has some of the strongest soldiers in the continent.

Then you have the empire that is to the east of Anstone which is named Elfhaem, and as you can probably guess this empire is strictly populated by elves. You know the people with long ears and usually blonde ears, yeah, those type of people. Well, their army mainly focuses on the quality of their soldiers and train them from very young so that they have a smaller but really strong army with nobody weighing them down.

The empire to the south was called the Grenada Kingdom and this was filled with beast-men. They were half human and half animal; it was usually half dog or cat, but it can vary to be half bird and other things. Honestly, it would be pretty cool. Anyway, their army mainly focused on their advanced machinery which to me seemed old and rusty as earths scientific discoveries were way more impressive but for some reason here the machinery in Grenada was seen as innovative.

There was another kingdom that I heard from my parents, but they didn't give out much information about it and I wonder if there is a reason for that or not. I couldn't even get the name of it.

Surprising to both of my parents, whose names I had come to learn as my mother being named Anne Reamer and my father being named Tom Reamer, I had started to crawl quite early on in my life, I was around only a month old. It was with this crawling skill that I was able to find the room where all the books were kept.

It took a while for my parents to think of a name for me as well, but they came up with quite a nice one if I do say so myself. My name is Harry Reamer.

It became a daily routine of mine to come to this room and try find a book on magic to see if there is a minimum age that I can start manipulating or if there is a way that I can do it already. For now, all I could find was a book on how to sense the energy around me, I'd come to find out that it tells me how I can improve my proficiency in magic from an early stage. But for now, that early stage had yet to come as a baby of 2 months was a bit too early, as I didn't have the muscle required to sit up in the required way.

What I came to also find out is that all this time I have been listening to my parents in a whole new language that for some reason translated into English for me, and I could read the different language perfectly well. This was very intriguing, and I wonder if it's just some special skill of mine that comes with being a reincarnate.

I continued to read all of the books that I could read for the next few months and my parents always wondered why I would always open a book as they thought I could just look at the pictures as I was only a baby of a couple months old. They found it quite weird, but they just brushed it off as I was a baby who didn't really know what I was doing to them.

I was finally able to sit up properly in a meditating position at around 6 months old. I always tried to do it on my own about once a week, but I would always fall over which proved to be quite annoying as I wanted to get a head start against everyone else in magic. But then I realised that I was probably the only 6-month year old baby who could read at all.

I was able to find the same book again as I wanted to read it again so I could get the instructions fresh in my mind as I wasn't able to read the whole thing the last time, I was halfway through reading when my mother sneaked up behind me and lifted me away from the book picking it up at the same time. She was here to take me for my food so I decided id just get back to reading later.

I read through the whole book now and I knew exactly what to do so I could awaken my powers earlier rather than later and I knew how I could make my proficiency for it even better. By the proficiency I find out that means how much of the energy I can hold at once and how powerful the outcome of it can be, also using magic takes a toll on your stamina which is why you have to keep practicing it so you can improve your stamina.

It gets to around night-time and my parents have taken me to my bed where they expect me to go to sleep but this night, they are wrong. After they give me their signature forehead kiss and leave, I sit up and start to meditate. The book says to meditate and try to feel the energy that is around you. Energy is always around you, when you wake up, in the shower, everywhere. It says that people who haven't awoken yet won't be able to feel it straight away but the more you try and the harder you try it'll come sooner.

I've been trying for a whole week, but it comes to no avail. No matter how hard I try, I can't come to sense any of the energy around me. I don't give up as i still think I'm of a really early age and that may be the reason for me not being able to feel any of the energy around me. I really want to become a manipulator and become one of the strongest adventurers there is and have a fun fulfilled life rather than my last where all I did was sit in my house doing nothing but watch tv or go to the fights that the mafia lord was always setting up for me and occasionally eat ramen with my lovely caring neighbour.

I just turned one around a week ago and in that time, I had decided it was time to learn to walk. I would grab onto an object that could support my weight while I pulled up on it and it took me quite a few attempts to be able to walk around freely and as much as I wanted to, but that time spent was worth it as I no longer had to crawl around to get where I wanted which was slow and it would sometimes start to hurt my knees. I have also started to use some word that my parents have been trying to get me to say.

Because of my ability to understand this new language so easily I've been able to talk for a couple months now but I kept that to myself as my it would probably come as a big surprise to my parents that their one-year-old can speak perfectly at this young age.

My birthday was a spectacular one. There was no one else here but I came to learn that I had a sister who has been away ever since I was born on a long expedition trying to scout out new islands that had never been discovered yet. She looked quite young no more than 20 but when I came to learn her age, I found out that she was in fact 21. She resembled my mother a lot with her hair and her eyes being almost exactly the same just being a bit darker, and she was also quite a bit taller than my mother. She probably got it from my father. My sisters name was Mae Reamer.

My birthday was just a lot of time with my family and with my parents and sister knowing quite a bit of magic they came up with a cool way to make fireworks which I thought was amazing. I had quite a few birthday gifts from my parents most of which were some books as they knew I liked them. Well, they thought I just looked at the pictures anyway. It came to a quiet end and I was sent to my bedroom to go to sleep and my whole family gave me a kiss on my forehead as usual, this included my sister this time though, so it was a bit better. They left the room and I continued to drift off into my slumber.
