-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
I couldn't place my eyes off on the gust of wind surrounding my body. It was as if the breeze decides to lift me from the ground and maintains its height above the floor.
Soon after, just as my mother's hands twirl around and place me back to the ground, using the same magic circles appearing on her arm, I too was steadily descending and eventually touched the wooden flooring of the house. I was expecting to be placed back on my crib as soon as my mother would notice my plummet. But I guess that's where the limits of her mana consumption go, as well the amount of energy she exerted.
"⁂░☾✧♨"
I couldn't understand the words she had spoken to call out for my attention. However, her facial expression and her worried look made me recognised her emotions how anxious she has been to witness my body falling to the ground.
My mother immediately wraps her arms around my body, embracing me with the little energy that she has. Tears began flowing unto her face as she repeats the same symbol all over again while caressing my head.
Soon after, my father, in this world, rushed in from the front door and observed the situation from afar. He too had a worried expression carved beneath his face but manages to retract it the moment that he saw me safe and sound.
"♜𝄢♮𓏢♩☄"
My father said and joins in for our family's embrace.
I couldn't make anything out of the words they've stated. Even the sounds and the way they said it was so foreign for me to appreciate as if I wasn't listening to the alphabetical letters of the English language.
It was very annoying for me that the knowledge that I previously have is worthless in this world. I need to learn more about their language and their culture so I can be a part of this kind and loving family.
Looking at my parents closely, they reminded me of my old parents back on the earth that I used to be. Albeit their appearance looks dissimilar from what I am familiar with, their hearts and worrisome were the same, doting me at everything that I do.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
Three months have surprisingly passed and boy, I have finally learned how to talk! Well, not the fluent kind of talk, but I was able to formulate words, English letters, out of my mouth.
I tried mimicking the sounds that my parents would usually say. With my attempts, the two of them suddenly jolted out from their seat, happily singing about something joyous and merry. I sang along with them while clapping my hands, enjoying the soothing tune while wiggling with the beat.
Soon, I began to learn a few words from the alphabets of this world. It was no different from learning a new language in my world, as I divulge myself in staring at the fictional books that my mother would use to read.
It was a story about the world written in colourful text inside a children's book. I believe it was the common theme of becoming a hero from the legends while defeating the evil that lies within the abyss.
According to the literature, the design of the world is flat, hence the flat earth theory. The lands are formed and divided under the influence of their power. These nations became a country and separated into three major kingdoms.
Humanity
Demons
And other racers
These additional species were vividly explained and written in the novel. However, my mother had mentioned elves, dwarves, and fairies, which I've already known from before. Every myth turned into reality, as I witnessed the magic wind that swirled around me.
I've wondered how on earth I could control my powers soon once I have an excellent grasp to control this magic around me.
Suddenly, a faint light appears right in front of my face. The luminance nearly blinded me at first, but I was able to hold my post and continued to stare at the mysterious rob.
I cannot walk with this body, so I was not able to follow the light leading me on the window. Instead, the mysterious optic came to me, circling my baby figure, as if it took a liking at my body.
Eventually, I began to feel a slight tickle coming from my hands. It was then transferred down to my feet, and all over my body. The next thing I knew, my physique was surrounded by an ominous azure aura which enables me to feel slightly stronger and light.
This occurrence allowed my petite body to stand, and thus I am now able to walk, steadily with my feet.
"Wow, would you look at that!" I softly murmured in my head, amazed on the improvements happening inside my body.
It was delightful to look at the ground from a distance once again, as I began to lift my other foot onto the next tile.
"One small step for a baby, one giant leap for mankind!" I thought while landing my foot onto the pillow right next to me.
The door from my room starts to open, revealing my exhausted mother to my aid.
"♫✈🎼✉✉❄" She said, surprised from the body standing awkwardly on the ground.
I'd wish to hear their thoughts and their words for me to understand my mother. But I guess that problem will soon be resolved and answered in the span of a few months, after getting my hands on the book of alphabets inside the library room.
The average time for a baby to walk is around nine to eighteen months, with continuous attempts of crawling and wiggling through the floor. However, I succeeded in six months with the help of the orb enveloped inside of me. I still do not know what the circular form was or where it had gone. But I do understand that the power dwelling inside of me was aroused and tapped open.
My senses enhanced to ten-fold, as I began to feel an enormous surge of energy inside of me. My perception begins to sharpen, and so did my smell, taste, touch (reaction time), and the coordination of my body. It was similar to what I've felt from my previous body but more sensitive and light like a leaf. Although I am a still a baby to their eyes, my mind is capable of thinking of rational thoughts and critical assessment like a senile man. It was unfortunate for me to say that I've yet to prove my worth for my parents, here or from my previous world combined.
I shifted my grim thoughts away and focused on the present, wondering where my energy had come. Soon after, my questions have been answered inside my head by a mysterious voice coming from a machine. The whispering sound drew closer, accompanied by the appearance of a screen like projection surfacing into my view.
: Welcome, summoned being! :
: This is your new vessel that will replace your previous body:
The blue screen materialised before my eyes and displayed these texts in my human tongue. After reading each of the sentences displayed, the projection began to fade and turned towards the next page. It was as if the whole environment was the start-up of a game.

"Holy shit! What are these stats and symbols—" I couldn't believe my eyes from what I'm seeing.
The system's box appeared out of nowhere and followed the direction from where I am looking. My mother, who was fixing my things in my closet door, seems to be oblivious from the blue box displayed on my front.
"It feels like I'm inside a game," I uttered and eventually began to accept everything in an instant.
Magic is indeed real inside of this world, and witnessing this kind of feature to my eyes would be the greatest assessed of the world.
My vision lingers and spots the figure of my mother, still cleaning the clothes clustered on the ground.
The box began to change the descriptions encrypted on the screen and shows the image of my mother wearing armour like dress used in medieval times.
It consists of a silver plate armour wrapped around her breast and down to her waist. It was designed for the user and shield her from an impeding force, especially from a sword. Furthermore, she has a metallic shield equipped on her arms that can effortlessly block any attacks from a rusty blade or a spear. Last but not least is her weapon of choice, which was a mace covered in razor-sharp nails to pound and bash her foes.
: The information for the ☯☯♕☀ cannot be read! :
: You have yet to earn the prowess to understand the knowledge of humane kind:
The system says with a red exclamation mark covering the whole screen. It was unfortunate that I could not look at her status and observe more of this fantasy world.
However, her appearance was overwhelming for me, as if she was a great warrior from before her prime. Despite her petite and kind appearance shown whenever I'm around, she was well dressed as a knight in lavished suit and armour, ready for a clash.
'How about my father? What is he like when engaged in a battle?' A question suddenly pops inside my mind, wandering the figure of my 'present' dad (in this world) of his particular class.
Knowing these problems in mind, I began to search for answers, motivated to learn the language of this world. During the night, I asked my mother to leave the storybook behind so I can use it as a pillow for my exhaust head. Little did they knew that every night, I would scan the scribble words written on the pages and learn it in heart and mind.
Eventually, in 6 weeks (or one month and a half), I was able to succeed and quickly grasp the focal words and letters used by this humane race.
