There are a lot of things that can only be gained by experience.
Even if you have a sea of talent, if you never put in the effort, you will never be the number one. Of course the same goes vice versa, but that is not the point. Sometimes it isn't effort or talent that matters the most. But what then?
Luck
Sometimes, luck is the most powerful one of them all. At the same time, it can influence the other two. You can not have talent if you didn't have the luck to get it. And, at the same time, you would never have put in the effort if it wasn't for luck guiding your way to passion and desire.
This line of thought might be a stretch, but even then, so what? It is something everyone wants, and that is fact.
You need luck. Still, what is luck? It can be all from a chance encounter or a miracle brought by fate. It may strike suddenly, or over time as a collection of events. It defies both space and time, a power beyond our understanding. Still some humans have caught its favor; those blessed by luck are blessed on earth. Yet, sometimes luck can do more damage than good. What about those around them? How will they be affected by the other person's luck? By the other person's talent? By the other person's effort? That is sadly not up for the affected to decide. They can only hold onto hope as fate casts the dice.

While enjoying my newfound freedom, everything seemed to be perfect. By that I mean I have turned into a lazy bun, just eating and sleeping...
Hey, I'm a baby, okay? And what do babies do? Eat and sleep. In fact, I would say that I'm above average! In comparison to my fellow brothers and sisters out there, I, don't come with all that extra baggage. No crying, and no weird sleep schedules. Heh, you might even consider me the ultimate baby!!
"Hmm? is it already soaked? I just shifted it an hour ago. Well, guess I'll have to change you before
we go on set"
"Wha..."(thanks mom...)
Blush*
I'm still a baby, okay!!? And babies have limits! Gods, this is embracing!
Hmm? the other stuff? You mean "that" stuff? Well, ladies don't do that!
No, seriously though, somehow I have not been able to do that, and it's quite concerning! Mom hasn't shown much concern for it either!! I know that I'm not your everyday baby, but come on, this ain't normal!! Like, am I gonna die or what!!?
[Activaiting Divine Wisdom: While it is natural for some, the Soul Origi-]
Shut up! While I'm desperate for answers I don't want to hear any more of that crap right now!! Rather I think I'm going to turn insane if I hear even a bit more of that cr*p!!!
[...]
...
Time for a bit of exposition. After about twelve months since I had gained the Divine Wisdom skill, I have come to a conclusion; The Gods Are Perverts!
"How so?", you might ask. Well, the answer to that is actually quite straightforward... Cause half of the information I've been given so far has been filled with perverted remarks, that's why!!
I get bombarded with information such as "she's a historian and likes shotas", and stuff. Why in the world did they make a skill called "Divine" and "Wisdom", just to fill it with perverted comments!!?
What? I'm not one to talk? Well, it's different!! At least, when it's me, I only have to hear it from a first perspective!!
Like, do you know how it's like when you can't even meet eyes with someone without hearing their fetishes read out loud? Worst of all is when it mentions me!! Like girls are fine, in fact, I invite it, but hearing things like "He is a plumber and wants to plume your ***, is bound to make anyone want to run for the hills!!
And, I mean, just think about it! I'm a baby! A bonafide one-year-old! Like, why are there so many old guys who wants to **** one-year-olds!? I never thought I would miss the FBI as much as I do right now!
[Activating Divine Wisdom: Those people were actually looking at the appearance of your mom and applied that to you. In conclusion, they are actually having fantasies about your future prospects... and their lolicons]
I knew it!!!
...
Well anyway, that's what my six-month break was like. Ahh, why must everything good be ruined by that system? Also, you don't have to answer that, it's a rhetorical question you sh*t system!
[...]
So yeah, I'm doing some acting right now. Amazing right? I'm a genius really!!...
Hey, I'm serious this time!!!
You see, where else can you find a one-year-old that has as much understanding of acting, or anything really, as me!!!
"Ahh, look there dear, it's Lucy!"
...
Oh, yeah, there is her too, isn't it? Like, it might be a bit weird coming from me, but goldie is quite the genius herself. She is already showing the understanding of a five-year-old at least... Like, man, is that even possible? Guess it wasn't just her hair that was golden but her brain too!!
Anyway, she seems to still be angry at me. Even after about a year? Yeah, it surprised me too. Aren't babies supposed to forget things like that after a day or so? Like, I know I said that she has the understanding of a five-year-old already, but common, not even they are supposed to carry a grudge for so long! What have I even done to he- Oh yeah, that duel awakening thing. Almost forgot... Anyway, she is glaring at me like I killed her entire village or something!?
Haa, I'll just have to soldier it through, it seems. This shoot is only meant to be a few moments after all.
Hmm? Oh, yeah, I should probably mention what production this is.
Well, you see, it's...
Okay, I don't really know either. W-well, what I do know is that this is a production from the same guys as last time... I really hope I don't have to go through "that again". I might really cry this time, you know?
"Ahh, there is the star of today!! Cute as ever, aren't you Alice?"
Of course! I mean is that even a question? Anyway, the one talking right now is thief. I guess the only thing he has going for him are those eyes of his. Of course, if it wasn't for them I wouldn't even be in this situation, to begin with!
"Ah, mister Mev, I was just about to go looking for you. You just called and asked ut to come here You didn't even say what this production was about. You know? Profesionolism is key in this buissnins."
"Ah-ah, sorry miss!! It's just that they suddenly were short on st-"
"What is the production?"
"Ah? yeah..."
Ohhh, mama, nothing seems to beat you!! Heh, take that thief! Don't think I didn't see you taking a sneak peek at "my" mountains!!
Anyway, it seems like this production is about baby accessories and toys, you know, that type of stuff. Seems easy enough doesn't it?
"Yeah, they specifically asked for these two children after the casting crashed. Can't blame them though. Their stooks got a huge boost when that duel awakening happened. So you can say that at its core it's a branding kind of thing. Anyway, little Alice and Lucy already look good together, just
think of this as a playing session. Hehe, this is going to be a hit!!"
Hit? Yeah, like in she hit me that is!!
...
"Just hold this dear. Give it to lucy when that bald guy over there says action, okay?"
Okay? I'm barely holding onto my life right now, and you want me to give this to her!? that is suicide!
You might think I'm overreacting, but I'm serious! Nothing is more dangerous than a dog aiming to kill. And let me tell you, this bit*h is out for blood!!! Forget these, I'm going to be the toy, a chewing toy that is!! Ahh, the world is so cruel, to think I would get murdered by a baby! That's like the most pathetic way to die, isn't it?
"And... Action!"
"Wa! (F**k!)
I was so caught up in the thought of dying that I didn't even see that we had already begun filming!" Dam*, now I'm going to die both physically and socially!
[Correction in Pervert Virgin users claim: The whole world already knows what you're a** looks like, so you don't have to worry about socially dying anyway, you are welcome.]
The only a** here is you! Anyway, this isn't the time for rambles. Common, think...Hmm? Do I really need to think? Like, this is a commercial for baby toys.... shouldn't I just act like a baby then? Well, it's worth a try.
"whawhaha"(stupid baby noises)
"ggagagagggga haha!"
"hawawaha"(more stupid baby noises)
Hmm, everything seems to go fine for now. Heh, I really am a genius, a master at improv!
"whwhwhhhhaahah!!"(enthusiastic baby noises)
"ggogoogaga"
"waaawaawa!!"(even MORE enthusiastic baby noises)
...
You get the point. Anyway, I'll just conti-
Smack*
...
Okay yeah, I done bad. Like really bad. Hehe, no har feelings, goldie, r-right!? Y-yeah, wait there I'll
help you u-
Headbutt*
(Sm***)*
Okay yeah, that was a bad idea. I forgot that I don't really have full control over my body yet. Hope that goldie is oka- Yeah that is not okay, in fact, isn't she glaring at me more than before, she is even crying!! Like she could freeze a lake with that stare!!! Oh no, she is even beginning to leak that golden aura!! And it's running wild too!? Her bling bling just turned shing* shing*!!!
She seems to have hit a breaking point. Don't know about you, but she just went from slightly angry to revenge story levels of angry!! And where is that anger focused on? Well... Yeah, this is bad! Have to get awa-
Smack!!!!!!*
"Whaaa!!"(Whaaa!!)
goldie used bit*h slap on Alice.
It was super effective!!
Alice has fainted.

There are many things that our main protagonist is going to regret in her life, but this might be the biggest one of them all! For this was the moment when the golden lion awakened and got her fangs. Of course, she will only find out about this life-changing moment much later in life.
