In this life, it was obvious both her parents were extremely affluent and she was born with a platinum spoon. They live in a mansion in South Korea and even as a baby, she have several rooms solely for herself. She haven't even toured her whole house despite living here for exactly half a year.
While her father Theodore was busy nowadays, her mother is also equally busy but for the time being, decided to stay at home to take care of Chae Ae-ri herself.
The mother and daughter were in the primary living room watching on a massive 170 inch Tv screen. Ae-ri was sitting on her mother's lap.
Chae Ae-ri were munching on white jewel strawberries out of the cut fruits that was prepared by the house keepers, it was placed on the coffee table infront of them.
"Is it tasty?" Chae Eun-rin asks her daughter who were eating like a rabbit. She nodded in return and making bubbly noises in satisfaction.
'I love this jewel strawberry.'
She pondered what to do to become a mega superstar. Chae Ae-ri watched the drama on the Tv and dreamt to also become someone who appear on the screen.
When she was done eating white jewel strawberries, her mother wiped her lips and hand with dry cloth. Chae Ae-ri nudge her face on her mother's stomach, it became a habit of hers as she like the sweet scent of the perfume her mother wear, it smells kinda like strawberry and raspberry with a hint of orange citrus which is among her favorite fruits.
Ae-ri glanced at the side and saw the white grand piano in the corner of the room, in a slightly elevated platform. 'I wanna play some songs in the piano, but I guess it won't be possible with this tiny hands and small body.'
The grand piano was specially beautiful with it's white color, Ae-ri was tempted to play some songs.
She always hear her mother play harp that was placed on her bedroom. She wondered if her mother also knows how to play the piano.
Chae Eun-rin hugged the baby girl and sing twinkle twinkle little star which makes the latter sleepy. Her consciousness slowly descend sending her to her dream world.
***
'What am I suppose to do to become a mega superstar faster?' she thought as she's in the hallway of the mental world palace.
She can't even talk nor walk properly with her infantile body. 'Should I got to the Starlynn Library where the grimoirs are located?' she contemplated wether to head to the ancient library which she hadn't open since her first life.
The magical energy on earth was surprisingly abundant despite not having the world tree. She was caught off guard when she first reincarnated on earth. Thanks to her first life and repeated reincarnation, she was very familiar with magical energies and was saddened to notice that over time, people don't know how to utilize the magic energy in the atmosphere.
The majority of people on earth were very logical in some way that most of them don't believe on so called fantasy and magic powers.
'One of the fundamentals of magic is firstly believing it exist! Which is the opposite of what most people do nowadays sadly...'
In regards to that. The magic in this world were barely used for thousands or maybe millions of years.
'It was a sad evolution...In the past civilizations on earth where I was alive in, many people know how to use Qi and Magic.'
But thanks to that change, she could use Magic freely. But it doesn't mean she uses it in her daily life, there's some timeline where she didn't feel the need to use Magic like her past life before this one.
'Will grimoirs really help me with my goals?'
Ae-ri recalled her first life, in her later life, she become fond of reading books, and she particularly love the imperial library that was full of ancient books. She decided to never enter it again after her repeated reincarnation, as it was a place that was burn to ashes and it remind her of the unpleasant memories of her first life.
In her mental world however. It was still the library she once knew but the memories were too much for her to remember so she lock it deep in her mental world without touching it...
But everytime she would be reborn again, she would always remember to breath a certain peculiar way, to higher her vibrational energy.
A breathing method called [Cosmic Breathing Art]
Even though she was just a baby, aside from inherited genes from her current parents. Her enchanting and beautiful appearance were thanks to the cosmic breathing art she got from her first life memories.
[Cosmic Breathing Art] is a breathing art that helps ones body to accumulate aether energy and build a Cosmic aura. It will help her to grow beautifully, pushing out all the negativity that is accumulating on ones body.
'After all...I need to take good care of my appearance to become a mega superstar.'
Chae Ae-ri who were crawling and shaking her heavy head arrive at the gigantic door, it was lock with magical chains. She calm her racing mind and heart, lightly touching the door with her teeny tiny hands expressing her will to enter. The chains disappear one by one and the door open slowly.
'Huuu... Let's do this, sooner or later, I will need to face my fears and anxiety regarding my first life.'
There were countless of books written in different ancient letters. Ae-ri crawled and glance from side to side reading the book titles.
[Introduction to Magic]... [Intermediate Magic Spells]...[Alchemy and Apothecary] ...[Dark Magic]...[Bleuevelle Empire Founding History]...
There's different variety of books like history, politics, magic books, fairy tales, and novels from her original world. It's like a treasure trove for bookworms.
Ae-ri reach a book that was near her. She read the title [Magic herbs and their uses] the book contains of moving pictures of plants that is used in alchemy.
'Herb of Eternality- a mystical plant that can prolongs one's life?!'
She look at the book title again. It was an ancient text, the herb of eternality was only a mythical plant even in the the starlynn planet, so she was confuse why the title was magic herbs. Forget the herbs! This were only available on her home planet and not earth.
She grab another book, [How to allure people]... Intrigue by the book title. She unfolded the first page, there was a woman who can charm the world with her beauty. On the last page shows how the woman take the life essence in a human body.
"...?!?!..."
The author of the book was a witch who allure people with her magic and take their life force.
'A beautiful witch is good and all but...'
When she uses this alluring magic, her vitality will lessen in return. That's why the witch uses it to lure people. No matter how beautiful her appearance will get, it was due to the fair maidens that she lured. There's no way she can use magic that will turn her into a serial killer in this day and age. Next book...
She crawled back and forth to see every book that was on her line of sight. 'I think this grimoir will do...No!!! Definitely not this one.'
Ae-ri picked two magic grimoirs that she will be using moving forward to achieve her dream.
The titles of the grimoirs were [Glamour Magic] and [Seraphim's Wings and Halo]
[Glamour Magic]- it's a magic book that everything you cast magic on using this will be greatly favoured by the crowd.
[Seraphim's Wings and Halo] -when this magic book is use, everyone that sees you will have a positive outlook on yourself just like the celestial beings. And one will naturally radiate love.
Ae-ri choose this two so that people will be naturally drawn to her beauty and aura, if she become popular at an early age. Then her parents will be supporting her endeavors.
'Father and Mother. Please support this daughter of yours on becoming a mega superstar even as a baby...'
But she inspect the golden grimoir with wary eyes. 'Is this really a seraphim's grimoir? Seraphim's aren't normal angel...'
It might have been different if it was one of her book of life, but this grimoir is from starlynn library. In other words, her first life. She only live one lifetime in that planet and she was just a human at that.
'Am I overthinking it...?'she shrugged and left the library.
When she opened her eyes, she quickly use one of the grimoirs.
[Cosmic Breathing Art] were always activated so there were aether energy entering her body as she breath inhale and exhale. Her breathing art was paired with 3 pair of small white wings and a golden halo, invisibly and magically fluttering.
"Our baby girl, have you awoken?"
Theodore and Chae Eun-rin opened the door to their daughters bedroom. When Ae-ri saw them she greeted them with warm toothy smile. Or more like toothless smile because she still haven't grown her teeths as much.
"Isn't our baby look like an angel?"
"I think I just saw a halo and wings...Did I see it wrong?"
The [Seraphim's Wings and Halo] were activated when she smiled at her parents. But there's no way people who don't know magic will be able to see them fully. Maybe they could see sparks, or there's also some people who have their third eye open could see the wings and halo abruptly.
'My parents are the latter.'
Chae Eun-rin brings out a sketch book. There were designs and sketches of baby clothes and also jewelries that she draw for her daughter. Chae Eun-rin showed it to Ae-ri while the couple sat side by side.
While her parents talk, she just found out that her mother was an architect and an interior designer that later become a fashion designer. She was now a C.E.O. of an overseas brand that focus on products such as clothing, jewelries, and perfumes.
'So, the perfume mom's wore were from her company? I love the sweet strawberry scent...'
The couple talk about how her mother Chae Eun-rin like drawing and she ended up designing countless of child clothes and dresses for her daughter Chae Ae-ri and her son...
"...!!!..."
'Wait a minute...Pause?! SON?!?!' she looked up with wide eyes, baffled at her mother and father who were talking about their son and daughter merrily.
'I have an older brother?! Why I never seen a single strand of his hair?' she talked in baby gibberish language paired with her weird hand gestures to get her parents attention.
"Oh right. Our Ae-ri haven't met her older brother..." Chae Eun-rin patted her daughters head and explain in a small voice, just like how parents talk to their babies.
"Your brother is currently studying overseas and staying with relatives and something unfortunate happen, so you won't be able to see him for the time being." Chae Eun-rin look glum when she explain it to her daughter.
Theodore shook his head and hug her wife and daughter. Ae-ri look up at her parents, concerned. 'Did something happen while older brother was overseas?'
Ae-ri activated [Seraphim's Wings and Halo] her halo brightly lit while seraphim's feathers were magically fluttering in the atmosphere easing the the anxiety of the couple.
Chae Eun-rin changed the topic of the conversation right away, lifting the heavy atmosphere. "Some of the clothes that I design for our daughter Ae-ri will be completed by the end of the month. I wanted to have a photo shoot with our daughter wearing the clothes and jewelries I design to make a photo album and maybe use some of her pictures in my clothing brochure. Will you accompany us, Theo?"
Chae Eun-rin asked her husband if he had time. Theodore replied positively, "I will ask my secretary to vacant my schedules on that day."
