So after begging for hours while doing a seiza, I finally got the narrator to work part time, he is also given free range of when to appear….
Chapter 1
*Nngggghh*
W-wh-where am i? … huh why can’t I move my arms and legs?!? M-my eyes also w-wo-won’t open! How did I end up like this?
*Aarrgghh*
m-my head… ah … I was on the way to a doctor’s appointment and I was knocked down the stairs …
ugh just my luck, even though I was being so careful like always watching the steps, so I don’t make a fool of myself. I fell. So, does this mean I am in a coma?? N-n-nooo, this can’t be, I would rather be dead than a vegtable, I mean my family can’t afford the medical bills. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, curse my slow reaction, if I knew this was going to happen, I would’ve waved my arms like crazy trying to grab someone or something at least… but instead i…i was just dumbstruck and fell. Damn it god, even though you made it painless, I still hate you for making me fall in the first place and turning me into a vegtable.
*hmph*
Tens of seconds later, the girl started to calm down.
Hmmm, w-wh-why do I feel wet? Don’t tell me I am still covered in blood. I hate blood, it’s creepy and I get chills just from seWAIT, if I can feel, doesn’t this mean that I am not in a coma. But if I can’t move, then does this mean i am fully paralyzed? But is this possible? I can barely even twitch. Maybe I should try focusing on my five senses and try to get some information about my situation.
Ok then first on the list is smell.
*sniff*
Ok no smell, next is, uhhhh sight, but I already know that, so taste.
…
Also no taste and I probably can’t hear because I haven’t heard a single sound, so I only have touch.
*focuses*
Hmmm, I seem to be completely submerged in blood. B-bu-but there’s no way I am still alive losing this much blood, right? R-right? Someone?? Anyone??? If it’s not blood, then did I get thrown in a pool or is this a new treatment for vegetables, so they grow? Maybe I died and I’m in my mother’s stoma…

*knock*
*opens eyes*
Huh, where am I right now?
*looks around*
Oh right, this must be my mother’s womb, but the womb is much harder than I expected, I thought it would be soft and squishy.
*poke*
Yup this is much harder than I expected. Maybe I was wrong and I did not reincarnate… L-let’s not think negatively right now, let’s think positively for now. Like I can now move, hurray.
*imagines a fist pump*
But if this is my mother’s womb, I shouldn’t mess around in here. In case I break something. Now with all my experience from reading light novels, web novels, and fan fiction; I should see if there is game-like mechanics. If there is than I really did reincarnate. First is status? …
Status.
Status!!
STATUS!
Nothing…
Ummm, what about mana? I should try to feel mana. Now how does mana feel like? It should be some type of energy in our surroundings and in our body, right? ... No answer, w-we-well I-I’m use to being alone anyways.
*hmph*
Lets start.
*closes eyes and concentrates*
A couple of minutes later.
*opens eyes*
Also nothing…
I didn’t feel anything at all, except a bit of hunger. This is probably normal for a fetus, I mean like what were the chances of me being a main character? Like one in a billion probably, but I can still hope right, god?
*sigh*
What should I do now? Maybe this is really all just a dream and I am lying on a hospital bed right now. My dreams really suck it’s making me feel worst and worst…
This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.
*stomach growls*
Ah, I am even feeling hungry in my dreams. This is probably punishment for my past life. Even though I had a family, shelter, food, and an education; I wasn’t really happy about it. And the reason for this was because I couldn’t fit into society, without hiding my true feelings. I felt stressed out having to fulfill the expectations of my parents and society. Even though I could’ve fulfilled those expectations, I wanted to be lazy and free to enjoy life. But that wasn’t possible and as a result, my thoughts started to grow dark. I began to think that food was only necessary for living, and would rather the need to eat disappear. I didn’t love my parents nor hate them, I only thought of the fact that I owed them and had to pay them back. Then when I got more stressed out, I wished for death and imagined dying and reincarnating just like those light novels I read. Although this maybe punishment I don’t regret my death one bit because I have already changed. So if I am reincarnated, I am going to try to live my life to the fullest. Without hiding how I really feel and live a carefree live. Do you hear me god? I am not afraid, so come at me!
*throws fist up*
*crack*
…
M-mo-mother?, I-I’m sorry, g-god please don’t tell me I j-just killed my mother, I don’t want to be a murder at birth…
*cracks some more*
N-noooooo, I-i can’t watch this.
*closes eyes*
*crack*
*sunlight shines in*
Ahhh, my eyes, s-so bright
*shatters*
*thud*
O-owww, my butt .
*opens eyes*
Opening my eyes, a beautiful white sandy beach and what seems to be a clear blue ocean comes into view. Looking to my left and right I can see the beach extending quite far off into the distance. Turning around I can see a giant lush forest running along the side of the beach. W-wow, this is like a scene out of a movie, i-I can’t believe I missed out on such beauty living in the city.
*plop*
Tilting my head down to look towards the direction of the sound, I find what appears to be my body, covered in goo. And just like I expected, I was reincarnated and even into a baby girl too with nice smooth, tender looking white skin. However what surprised me the most was not the goo, but weird paint-like splotches covering my torso. The splotches were only a few centimeters in size, completely pitch black, and they were scattered all over my torso. Besides my torso, my feet and hands were also pitch black. But those parts looked quite cute, like I was wearing ankle socks and gloves. Just like my feet, my ‘gloves’ stopped at my wrist. Feeling nervous about this weird condition, I decided to poke the spots, hoping it’s not some weird skin disease or … cancer.
*poke*
*pokes some more*
W-well at least it feels soft and smooth, just like a normal baby’s skin. It may even be softer than a baby’s skin. Inspecting the black splotches as well as my hands and feet, I have come to the conclusion that I probably should not worry about it now because even if I do worry about it, I can’t do anything about them anyways. As these worries seep out of my mind, I finally noticed that I was sitting on an egg shell and this egg shell was on a giant grey silky blanket. Well the blanket is probably a normal sized blanket, but me being a baby and all, it seemed very big. However this elegant blanket was ruined with my goo on it.
*stomach growls*
Oops, my face flares up a bit and I realized that I am still hungry. For now, I should find something to eat. Looking around I see beach, rocks, trees, ocean, the grey blanket, and the egg shells. Seeing the egg shells, my hand reached out and grabbed a piece before I even realized it. Hmm, for some reason I have an urge to eat it. Not sure if this is the instincts of whatever my species is or what, I mean what type of human is born from an egg? I’m pretty sure not even the demi-humans into those light novels and web novels I read were born from an egg. Also where are my parents??
*looks around*
*sigh*
It seems like I have been abandoned... Although I’ve been abandoned, I am not going to cry or anything. I mean like I haven’t even meet them once, they are like complete strangers to me. However this does make me worry because I am just a baby, h-how can I survive?? Thinking about the pain that may await me places a bit of fear in my heart. Even though I am not afraid of death, I still don’t like pain yanno? I mean like who likes pain? See, no one answered. That means I’m not the only one.
*stomach growls again*
Ahhh, i’m still hungry and my mind wandered off again. Now lets’ try my egg shells and if they don’t taste good or are inedible I can always spit them out. Holding the goo covered egg shell near my lips I parted my lips and took a bite.
*crunch*
Hey, this tastes like regular potato chips and the goo adds a mild salty flavor to it.
*stuffs rest in mouth*
Since it is an egg shell after all, the texture is a lot smoother than chips which makes’ me, feel a bit uncomfortable. Why? Well it feels like I am eating glass shards kind of and even eating regular potato chips I somehow chomp down on them when they are upright. Stabbing into the roof of my mouth, so imagine what a bloody scene it would be if this happened with the egg shell. Scary, right? As I imagined the horrifying scene, I come to realize that I have eaten all the surrounding shells, and the only one left was the big shell I was sitting on. So I decided to eat the shell I was sitting on too. Standing up. I fell. Forward.
*pufh*
O-owwwwwwwww, I roll over and place my hands on my face trying to keep my tears in. I also checked to see if I b-br-broke my nose. *Phew*, luckily this is the beach and I fell onto sand, otherwise things could’ve gotten ugly. Thinking of this second horrifying scene I waited for the pain to subside. After a couple of moments I separate my hands from my face and grabbed the large egg shell I was sitting on. Lifting up the egg shell, I noticed a word sewn on to the middle of the grey blanket using the English alphabet.
The word was ‘Aria’.
While eating the egg shell, I started to think about what it meant. The only thing that could come to mind was that it was my name. I mean like what else could it mean??? It was on the blanket my egg was placed on. So it is mostly likely my name. Alright. I like this name much better than my old one, Xie Lie Zhu. Finishing the last bite, i decided that from now on I’ll be called Aria. The beginning of a life, where I choose my own future with no one stopping me!
With my new name I grabbed my dirty blanket and myself; I crawled towards the ocean to get cleaned up. Arriving at a calm shore, I find a cute adorable baby girl reflected in the water. The girl had light purple hair, amber colored eyes, small pretty nose, and petite pink lips.

Thank You for reading, I hope my character sounds realistic and the pacing is ok. I would be grateful if people can point out any glaring plot holes or mistakes/misunderstandings my story has so far. And any other suggestions as well. Also sorry for the slow release, I was very lazy only writing 300-600 words a day and I have trouble putting my thoughts and ideas into words.
