( a few months after Marco's birth )
In the house of the Diaz family, all is well. The bird's are chirping. The sun is shining. A baby is currently having an identity crisis. All is well.
( Marco's POV )
'Aaaahhhhh.' I internally scream.
I still can't believe I'm Marco. Like, THE MARCO. The same Marco who was best friends with Star Butterfly. The same Marco that helped save Mewni.
This is a dream come true for me. Sure, being reincarnated is also a dream come true, but this is a bigger one. I can't wait to start going on adventures with Star.
'Wait, do I want to go on adventures with her?' I thought.
It was a good thought. While going on adventures with her would be cool, it also came with a lot of risks. Like constantly being attacked by monsters. And having to deal with Ludo and Toffee. Not to mention the other threats in the show.
'Maybe I should gain some experience before she arrives.'
That would be a good idea. Luckily, I have a system to help with that.
'Hey system, show me my stat page.'

I discovered this a few days ago by saying random things in my head. I don't know much about it. As I can only access this page currently. Theres also no A.I, so that's a bummer.
Anyway, another thing I learned about my system is that I can get skills by doing random things continuously. That is how I got my first skill, Comprehension. This skill basically allows me to better comprehend the world around me. It's pretty easy to level up, all I have to do is try to understand something.
I've tried getting more skills, but to no avail. You can't do much when your a baby, I have realized that now. All I do is eat, sleep, poop, and try to level up my only skill.
'Ah, what a life.'
"Oh, it looks like my little angel is awake."
'Huh?'
I look to the right of my playpen to see my mom. She was walking to me with something in her arms.
"Look what I got you, my little nino. It's a blue bunny."
[ Mission: Play with bunny
Reward: lvl up- random skill ]
'I can actually get quests? Hallauyer, I accept.' I subconsciously accept the quest.
I try to reach for the bunny, but she keeps pulling it out of my reach. God, I hate when she does this. She thinks she is being playful, but it's just annoying.
"Can ya catch it? Can ya catch it?" She says in what I assume is her attempt at a baby voice.
Right when she brings it down, I quickly snatch it out of her hands before she can pull it back. I then hug it tight so she can't take it from me. Which I guess looks adorable, since she makes an 'awww' sound.
"Oh, you got it. Good job Marco." My mom says.
Suddenly a ding sound goes off in another room. Which I can only guess was the oven. As it sounds like the same one I had in my past life. Hah, Oh how i'll miss you oven man.
"Oh, that must be the enchiladas. I better get them finished before your father gets home."
My mom quickly runs out of my room, leaving my in my crib with the blue bunny.
I decide to get my mission over with seeing I have nothing to do. So for the next hour, I play with my bunny. With my mom coming to check on my every few minutes to make her I'm alright.
[ Ding! Mission accomplished! ]
[Rewards: 1 lvl up, random skill: Quick Thinking lvl 1 ]
[ Quick Thinking lvl 1: Allows player to think at a 10% faster thinking speed. Each level up grants player another 10% faster thinking speed. ]
'Huh, that's useful. I could potentially make plans in seconds. I'll have to level it up to a high level first.'
I start to yawn. My mom heard this and quickly fed me before I sent to sleep. As I lay in bed, I start to wonder what my future will hold. And if I'll be ready for it.
'Thats future me's problem.'
My mom turns out the light as I started to fall asleep. That night, I dreamt of donuts.
