I was reborn for the first time and I can say that my second life was a lot more fun. I will not go into detail, as anyone who read another RE story before will find very standard and boring life.
I, myself, have ready many RE stories in my past life. Now that I was walking in the same footsteps as my past heroes, I would use their stories as a guideline for my own. I would treat their lives as a manual for my chance at fame.
Just as one would hope, I was reborn into a rich family with a mage for a mother and a swordsman father. They were of course both under 20, it would be weird to have fantasy parents skilled in parenting.
Even as a new born baby, I had little trouble understanding the language of this world. It only took me five days to grasp all the small details. But as a baby there was nothing for me to do. Spending all days within my crib, I could only gather information on the world I was in.
By the time I was two months old, I had already mastered reading. Following all the second life manuals, I kept this a secret from my new parents. Being only a baby, I could not move about freely, what little reading I did, I did it while in the arms of my meal provider or her partner.
I tried to follow the written examples and give perverted looks at the sight of naked boobs, I however lacked the much required skill to do so. Guess me not being a perverted virgin in my previous life had come back to haunt me. I would be like my hero.
That of course did not mean that I did not enjoy their feel, though the nourishment they provided was still the main reason I spent so much time attached to them.

I could not wait to learn to walk and start my secret visit into the library that I knew had to exist. It would be there that according to all the manuals that I have read, I would find the magic texts to teach myself how to use magic. I was very eager to learn about casting magic without any incantations, how else was I supposed show off my unique powers.
I was also looking forward to seeing the surprised expression on my young parents faces at seeing a 2 month old casting magic.
It all went according to plan. It did not take me long to learn to walk and I was soon able to sneak inside the huge library with at least a hundred books. As expected, I found the textbooks covering the secret knowledge of magic to be placed on the lower shelves, just within the tiny reach of a 2 month old child.
Like all fantasy parents described in oh so many novels, mine paid little attention to my wondering about. As for the nanny, their lack of the parenting skill meant they could not hire one.
Having already learned to read, I was impatient to try out the basic spells written within the old books. What little mana supply I had, was quickly exhausted causing me to faint on the spot. They should really keep such dangerous books on at least the 3rd shelf, somewhere outside of an infant`s reach.
