'Wait a second, is this information about me? No, that can't be right, my name isn't Alexander, it's, wait, what was my name again? Ugh, anyways, I know my name wasn't Alexander, and secondly, I'm not two days old; I should be at least twenty-two.' Thought Alexander as he tried to make sense of the situation, though deep in his heart, he had an inkling of what was really going on.
I wanted nothing more than to deny what I believed was truly happening; however, the more time that passed, the more I started realizing that not only did I most likely die, but I also happened to reincarnate, most likely in another world to boot.
Though I wasn't given much time to think as I noticed that the green monster lady was taking me somewhere, and after what she had just done to me, I was no longer feeling confident that she wouldn't eat me or something. Unfortunately, with how tightly the lady held me, I couldn't observe much of my surroundings other than the ceiling.
'Well, at least the ceiling is somewhat comforting to look at.' Alexander reasoned as he tried to think optimistically about his situation.
Several seconds passed with me staring at the ceiling, which I must say was quite beautiful before I noticed that the lady had already stepped into another room and was nearing what seemed to be a large shelf filled with bottles of various colored liquids, though from my position I could only view the top-half of the shelf.
After a few minutes of watching her browse through her stash of bottles, I saw her grab a bottle filled with what looked like honey as she once again said something I didn't understand before she gently set me down on her lap and tried to feed me the honey-like substance.
'Is she trying to feed me, honey? Doesn't she know I'm supposedly a newborn!? I can't drink, honey! At least I'm pretty sure I can't consume honey.' Thought Alexander as he constantly attempted to move his head away whenever Lavender brought the bottle of tree sap close to him.
After several minutes of dodging the bottle of honey while hoping she wouldn't force-feed me it, the lady finally stopped before setting down the bottle in the distance as she once again said something; this time, though, she wore an expression that reminded me of frustration.
'Now, I regret not consuming that honey; at least then she wouldn't look so annoyed with me.' Thought Alexander nervously as he carefully eyed the monster lady.
Several minutes passed with me cautiously eyeing her before mentally releasing a sigh of relief, seeing as she didn't plan to harm me, though what was weird was that even though I didn't know her, I instinctively knew she wouldn't harm me, it was a bizarre feeling; however, I wasn't just about to trust my instincts, nor was I about to trust her, at least not yet anyway.
Now that I didn't need to worry about the monster lady harming me, right now at least, I focused back on myself and my current situation. I've already come to terms with my current circumstance; it's not like I could really deny it when I'm stuck in a baby's body; yeah, I realized I was no longer in my adult body just a few minutes ago when the green lady kept trying to feed me that bottle of honey, which for the record I don't know even if that is honey, it just reminds me of honey.
'I just hope she wasn't trying to feed me something potentially dangerous.' Thought Alexander as he intently eyed the bottle in the distance, though when he did, another set of information suddenly appeared in his mind.
////////////////////
Name: Refined Tree Sap
Rank: Rare
Effect: Consuming this will slightly cleanse the body of any Impurities.
////////////////////
After scrutinizing the information in my head, I once again sighed in relief, knowing that while I may not be able to consume it with my body, at least it wasn't something purposely meant to harm me. Then again, I don't even know if what I had just read was related to that bottle; everything that's happening is entirely new and foreign to me; for all I know, this game-like status panel could've been associated with the green lady, though I highly doubt it.
'Ok, so if that game-like status page is supposed to represent me, then let's get some facts straight; first things first, my name, or new name, is apparently Alexander; I have no last name, so maybe last names aren't common here, or maybe last names are like a status thing, where only nobles, royalty, and the wealthy have them? Anyways that doesn't matter; secondly, I'm two days old and am being taken care of by a green plant lady, who obviously isn't my mother; hell, she probably isn't the same species as me, let alone being related to me. Thirdly, I believe it would be safe to assume I've reincarnated into some fantasy-like world, considering the game-like status windows I've seen along with the green lady who didn't exist on Earth.' Thought Alexander as he calmly reviewed his situation, which surprised him slightly.
Another thing to note about this entire mess was how calm I've been; I mean, I wasn't ever the type of person who was quickly nervous and or frightened, though that didn't mean I wasn't ever anxious or scared; however, given my circumstance, I feel like even the calmest and most confident person should be slightly hysterical.
'Well, nothing wrong with being calm, I, in fact, welcome it. Now, if this is really a fantasy world with game-like elements, let's inspect my status panel or whatever it is called.' Thought Alexander, weirded out by the prospect of a living being having all their capabilities listed in numerical value.

Having played enough video games in my past life to understand what a status panel represented, it was easy to read and comprehend everything; however, there were a few things I didn't fully grasp.
'Alright, I believe I got the general gist of it; it's just like a status panel your character would have from a video game. Name, Species, Level, Experience, Class, Sub-Class, Titles, and Skills are pretty straightforward, though while I've heard the term High-Human mentioned a few times throughout my past life, I know nothing about them; not like I should be basing my knowledge of this world off of the fictional stories and video games from Earth.' Thought Alexander, mentally reminding himself to gather information about this world as early as possible.
I'm going to assume that lifeforce represents your overall health and/or well-being, while mana most likely represents magic or, specifically, the amount of magic your body can hold. Now Vigor should be the amount of strength your body can physically produce, while Endurance would most likely be the amount of stamina you have, how resistant you are to aliments, and how tough your body or physique is; however, If my previous two guesses are correct, both Vigor and Endurance are closely related to your health, or Lifeforce as the status panel labels it as.
Agility should be a representation of your speed, acceleration, and flexibility. However, since all the information I'm basing this on is from my knowledge of video games, I could definitely be wrong, considering in most video games, when you increase your agility stat, either nothing happens, or you get a slight boost to your running speed, and that's it. Dexterity, on the other hand, I don't know much about it. Still, I do believe it is related to your hand-eye coordination and your ability to efficiently control your body, which I'll need if I happen to have high agility; otherwise, I'll crash into a wall or some hard surface.
From my understanding, Intelligence relates to the amount of power your magic attacks have, your ability to comprehend, and your brain's processing power; though, now that I mention it, I do feel like I'm smarter than compared to my past life. Finally Perception, this is also a common stat in video games; it usually represents your five senses and your ability to perceive danger, which some would call your sixth sense.
Now, moving on to what I don't know; Traits and Tier. I don't know what Traits signify in video games, but in life, they usually represent a unique characteristic of a specific person. On the other hand, Tier is slightly harder to grasp fully; maybe Tier means a person's rank, similar to how video games differentiate between a normal mob, elite mob, mini-boss, and boss?' Thought Alexander deeply, not even noticing that his body had subconsciously reacted to Lavender's playful touch.
While I was still thinking, I happened to realize that my body was being touched by a large green hand, or at least large from my perspective, since if I now had the body of a newborn, then the green plant lady was most likely similar in size to a human woman. Watching her hand continuously caress my stomach, I, with much difficulty, managed to actually lift one of my short and chubby arms before reaching towards my stomach and grasping one of the ladies' fingers with my baby hand.
'Please stop, green lady; I'm a grown man, and although it feels very comfortable being constantly caressed like this, It's weird when it's by a woman I met about an hour ago!' Mentally exclaimed Alexander as he tried to voice his words, though all that came out from his mouth was baby noises, which only caused the Lavender to smile.
