Chapter 4
A guide how to train as an infant among an over dotting family -by Kara
So its been several months now since I was reborn as Kara and I am running into a major problem. Everybody is in love with me.
This stupid blessing of Aphrodite has screwed over my training so much. Why couldn't I have just been born among commoners so ugly that people would just ignore me while I slowly became the demon king! Wait I am just joking I wouldn't want to become the Demon King seems kind of boring if you ask me sit on the throne for years and then fight the hero and die I think I will pass.
Nope I have to get the stupid blessing that charms people passively. My reward for saving her daughter is to look like her daughter, this is not an award this is a punishment.
I can already assume that when I grow up I will look a lot like Jennifer. I was able to see my reflection over water the other day and the little hair I had was the same color blonde and I had the same deep blue eyes as well......
I really hope I can find a way to become a man again. Like maybe there is some secret potion at the bottom of someplace called Fairfax manor just like in Fable 2. I can hope right? I kind of have a feeling that the blessing of Aphrodite is sort of locking me into female. I need to find out if I can get rid of this blessing because even if I cant become a man at least if I can get rid of this blessing I might be able to blend in with the crowd.
Anyways I have sort of become nocturnal. Since I cant get any real training done during the day I do it at night when I am alone. I even have unlocked a couple of skills recently from it
Low-Light visibility
You can now see in low light situations a lot better then your average human
I mean its probably nowhere as good as having elf eyes but I will take it none the less. Also since I am up all night I have gained a new skill that makes it so I can sleep less
Short-rest
You now recover from sleep twice as much.
So basically at night basically I get out of my crib. Its really easy since I have lvl 6 acrobatics once I get out of my crib I practice against imaginary opponents with invisible weapons. I am not getting super strong from this but its at least tangible and using my imagination also has caused my intelligence to go up quite a bit.
Oh yea by the way my stats are OP compared to kids my age. Like Claire and Aaron stats all average 5-10 and there mana is about 500 so I am like over three times stronger then a 4 year old at this point. The only reason they even have that much mana is because of royal blood. So if someone found a way to look at my status page I would probably be in big trouble.
About that my mother hasn't let up on it, not being able to see my status. I am pretty sure she is going to try and find a way for the headmaster at Mahouren academy to take a look at me. He apparently has a lvl 9 analyze spell. Spells in this world go up to level 10 and very few people can cast a level 10 spell.
Probably the number of people that can cast a level 10 spell can be counted on one hand. Either way I am not worried about it. The thing that does worry me is the fact when I start speaking she is going to want me to share my status with her and that is going to be put me in a bind.
I will have to come up with a believable lie, or a way to fabricate my own magic when I share it. That's if I can even share it in the first place which I believe is quite possible I dont see any issues when I look at my Gift.
Gift of the God's information
-Ability to analyze everything you can fully sense
-Status is immune to any outside identification magic
-Access to various information about this world
Another cool thing about this gift is various information I can get. For example if I use the gift and think what is the Capital of Termain it will pop up Lorrington. It is sort of like google inside my head pretty neat right? It definitely doesn't have everything like it cant read a book that I name in my head but I am constantly amazed but what I can find out.
“Is my little angel awake”-Ria
You would think the queen has better things to do then constantly dote on her little daughter. Like cant a maid do what you are doing?
Surprisingly mom is actually a decent mage. I was wondering why father didn't have any concubines and it appears mother is the reason, I guess you could say she wears the pants in the relationship. With her body strengthening magic it would be hard to resist her and then she would be wondering how I was able to resist her so I kinda just have swallow my pride as a man and take it.

“Lets get you all cleaned up!” Ria
She then takes me to get washed up in the bath using the most flowery soap I have every smelt. Afterwards she holds in front of her a cute blue dress with a yellow bow-tie which would really match my eyes and hair. Ok brain not cool why did I think that way? Why did think it was 'cute' and also notice the 'matching' factor? This is too much mother I have already decided I wanted to go with the rough tomboy look enough of this pretty princess shit.
After putting up a very slight fight just like one of my age should be able to muster to prove to her I didn't like the dress, she finally got the dress on me. She then picked me up and took me to a mirror.
“I dont know why you were fighting me earlier look how cute you look!” -Ria
I just kept staring at the ground fighting every urge to look into the mirror. Then part of me becomes dangerously curious. It would be like looking at Jennifer when she was a baby I rationalized in my mind. Does that mean I am a pervert? Probally. Anyways one little peak cant be that bad right? Slowly I look up to the mirror and am shocked not only do I look super cute I also cant help but blush from my own image, it becomes so embarrassing that I blush even deeper which then starts a very vicious cycle of shame and embarrassment.
“Wahhhhhh” Trump card activated.
That was pretty bad huh. I might turn into a narcissist when I get older if I am not careful. I definitely need to avoid long looks in the mirror.
Anyways the fight to watch over me in the family starting to get really amusing. Yesterday Claire tricked Aaron that there was a fairy trying to take me away. Aaron how are you ever going to fend off suitors from me if you are so darn gullible. Mandy even one time used magic to forcefully take me away from mother after mom had monopolized Kara time.
Basically this has become a game of tug-of-war with me being the rope. Well today it looks like I will have a chance to do some additional training. Since mother has some business in town and Mandy has returned to school I can continue to cultivate and condense my mana because I highly doubt Claire will know what I am doing.
A few weeks after I was born I was able to control the mana in my body. Its a skill called
Mana manipulation
Control to suppress and alter the mana in your body
This skill is good for 2 reasons first it stops an effect known as mana leaking which in stealth situations is very important. The second reason is you can condense your mana making it more pure. While this doesn't make your mana pool bigger it does increase your strength of your mana. Think of it like putting the expensive gas in your car versus the cheap gas, the tank is the same but you get more mileage with the better gas.
How did I figure all this out you ask? Its simple I googled I mean used the gift on it.
Sitting at a tea table for several hours with Claire the whole time I was in cultivating my mana. At least I am not totally wasting my time at this tea party.
The tea table we are sitting at has the two us as well as a bunch of stuffed animals sitting around. If I wasnt partaking in it myself I would find this scene rather cute.
Claire then grabbed 2 stuffed animals Mr.BunBun and Mr. Ribbit.
“Mr. BunBun loves Mr.Ribbit wont you be my wife Mr.Ribbit?” she then makes them kiss each other. Wow I bet she would really be into BL back in Japan.
Anyways I am at my limit with this teaparty. Plus I need a new diaper this sucks I cant wait to get a little older and walk on my own two feet. I whine to a maid and she comes and helps me out.
“Does little Kara need a change” the head maid who name was Rebecca asked me.
What do you think miss maid obviously I was crying and you can tell by the smell. You have nice oppai so I guess you are forgiven. She takes me away to a room and changes my diaper. I can see several maids all talking to each other they are laughing about something and then looking at me. Oh no this is not good my spidey senses are telling this is a trap!
One of the maids was holding something in her hand and started to walk over to me with a huge grin on her face. I use analyze on the item
Maid baby Outfit
Crafted by one the maids with the Tailoring skill she put her heart and soul into making this
No! Somebody save me from this castle! Everyone here is weirder then me and that's saying something.
