I awoke to a painful pressure squeezing my body. I panicked as anyone would when being awoken to a suffocating pressure in a watery canal.
I can make out shouts of pain, anger, and excitment. Then another painful squeeze and my head feels a small cool breeze on it. More painful squeezes and I'm slowly being pushed out of my new mothers birth area which is a horrifying thing to be concious for.
A couple more minutes of pressure and I'm pushed out full before being scooped up and having my feet slapped to get blood flowing properly. Shit hurts man and I let them know.
"Waaaahhhhhhhhh!"
"Well that's a good pair of lungs congratulations on your new son." comes a voice from a gentleman I assume is a doctor.
I'm wiped down with warm water and wrapped in a blanket before I'm passed off to a giant of a man. Tall, blonde, packed with powerful muscles and wearing what appears to be some kind of leather armor a rugged looking man covered in scars. Wearing the happiest smile I have ever seen in my life.
"A son! Hahaha!" he shouts happily looking at me.
"Let me see him." comes an exhausted voice from the bed.
I'm handed over to a beautiful young woman with light brown hair and grey eyes. Looking at me with absolute adoration and love.
"My baby so you've finally decided to come out and join us." She says with a small chuckle.
"What do you think we should name him dear." come a gruff voice from the man watching us happily.
"Hmm. How about Ryan?" she says looking at me as I smile back trying to keep my tired eyes open.
"Ryan Steele perfect name for a knight or an adventurer when he grows up." the man laughs loudly.
"Clyde your forgetting he could also take after his mother and be a wonderful mage." She says with a light laugh.
Before I can doze off fully I feel something pressed into my mouth. I look down and see its my mother's nipple and before I could do anything about it I dozed off suckling with my new bodies automatic instincts to feed.
several hours later i wake up in a crib. I can't really move my body at all. I shakily turn my head to examine the room.
Next to my crib is my parent bed where they are currently sleeping. Looking around the room I don't see any kind of electronics I see some lamps with what appears to be crystals in them with little runes scrawled on them.
The furniture around the room is nice but not too nice you know. It's nice looking but has a bit of wear I figure im not in some poor family or a rich family I'm probably in an medium income family. That's perfectly fine for me.
They said something about knights and mages earlier so must be in a magic and swords kind of world. That's good and bad good because there are lots of fun things to do in a world like this. Bad because there's probably a billion little noble shit heads running around causing problems.
Now on to the current terrifying part. I've pooped myself and it's absolutely mortifying. Noone talks about this stuff when they think about reincarnation. It's all adventures, killing and women.
My self-esteem and dignity have reached absolute rock bottom. So I just do what babies do best.
"Waaaaahhhhh!" I cry.
There's a shuffling noise as I hear someone get up out of the bed.
a groggy voice says. "Okay okay little buddy. Let's get you changed and fed." My new father Clyde walks over before carefully picking me up.
The next couple minutes are the most shameful I've ever felt in my existence.
With absolute dead eyes I'm passed off to my now awake mother for feeding. At this point I've no dignity left to destroy and just feed in despair.
When I'm don't feeding I'm burped, cooed and kissed and cuddled by my mother Amelia before being put back in my bed by my father.
While laying there contemplating life I decide to check on Cassie and my inner world.
There's a couple changes nothing too drastic though.
There's some small plant pots next to the hut on a little stand filled with herbs and spices I believe. A new little chicken coop with a small iron water trough. There's a small field of grains of some sort to feed the four chubby little chickens.
There's a new little bookshelf with a couple books i can make out. There's a guide to weapon maintenance, Some mystery novels, animal care guide, and a couple more.
[Hello dear.] Cassie's voice rings in my head.
I look around and spot her picking some berries from the nice looking strawberry bush.
"Hello I like what you've done with the place." I say happily.
[Thank you. I bought some books I thought you might need as you'll probably spend a lot of time studying since your curtly unable to do anything. However you can start meditating and gathering magic energy and fighter energy to strengthen your body. Just don't overload it or something like that.] She says and I can mentally see instructions from the basic magic book and fighter book on absorbing the elements and energy of the world.
[You can't train your body physically until your at least 4 as you could injure your growing body and put too much strain on yourself and even then it's only light training.] She warns me.
"That's fine i figure it would be suspicious if I tried to train and at this point I can't even use my body correctly." I sigh in defeat.
[Well you can meditate and read some of the books here we have a little money for more books when your done.] She says picking more berries.
I look at my coins it's not much just a bit over 160. Berries don't sell for much.
I sigh and thank her for helping before my mind goes back into my body in my crib and I start going over the manuals and trying to meditate.
