Solara
Okay, let’s get this straight. My name was Arjezthea Hale—yes, was. Why the past tense, you ask? Simple. I died. Yup, kicked the bucket. But that’s not even the craziest part. The crazy part is what came next: I got reborn. And not just anywhere—oh no, that would be too boring—I got reborn in Adamia, the world I created. Yeah, let that sink in for a moment.
I know, I know. This is supposed to be the ultimate dream, right? You create a world, then—poof! —you’re living in it. But let me ask you something: If you were doodling one day and, say, a random character you sketched suddenly waltzed into your room, wouldn’t you freak out? Well, imagine that times a thousand, because this isn't just some random character—it's an entire world. Dragons, brigands, demon lords... did I mention demons? Yep, we’ve got those too, because apparently, I thought that was "cool" when I made it up as a kid.
So here I am, Solara Havinii—yeah, that’s my new name. Soli, for short. (I prefer it to my old name; it’s got a nice ring to it.) And I’m six months old. Yep, baby status, folks. This is my life now, reincarnated into a world filled with magic, monsters, and people who don’t like elves. Which is totally great, considering my mom is one. Surprise!
Anyway, I’ve got a big brother, Arvion. He’s five, and he takes his “big brother” job way too seriously. I mean, he’s practically my shadow. Sweet kid, though. My mom, Elorza, is a gorgeous elf. Seriously, she could model for Elven Vogue if that existed. She’s single, too—no dad in sight, and I’m not asking questions just yet. But judging by how hard she’s working—running errands, cleaning, doing pretty much anything to keep us afloat—I’m guessing he’s not around.
We’re poor, by the way. Like, ‘living in a tiny, rented lodge, barely-making-ends-meet’ poor. And to top it off, my mom has to hide the fact that she’s an elf. Why? Because we’re living in a human kingdom, and apparently, elves aren’t exactly popular around here. She’s constantly wearing a hood, covering those iconic pointy ears. I mean, seriously, with looks like hers, it’s a crime to hide them, but hey, she’s got to play it safe.
Oh, and did I mention that this kingdom is located on the coldest continent of Adamia, Westeros? Yes, I also designed some tropical paradise, but why I had to be put on an ice block? Good job for whoever reincarnated me.
Now, here’s where things get really fun. My natural hair color? White. Yep, not exactly “blending in” material. Mom’s hair is pink—like, cotton candy pink—but she’s dyed it black to stay under the radar. Naturally, she’s been dyeing my hair too, turning my snowy locks into raven black. It’s not ideal, but it’s better than standing out like a glowstick at a medieval rave.
As for my ears? Shorter than Mom’s, but still pointy. Nothing some strategically placed hair won’t cover once it grows out. I guess I’m half-elf, half-human. Great... because if being a full elf wasn’t hard enough, being a half is even worse. Discrimination? You bet. Thanks, Adamia, you’re a peach.
Arvion’s got it easier. He must take after our father because he looks fully human. Brown hair, black eyes, no pointy ears. Lucky little brat doesn’t even need hair dye. Meanwhile, Mom’s practically spending a fortune just to keep me from standing out. Sorry for being born extra, Mom.
So, what’s life like as a baby, you ask? Boring. Like, really boring. The first month was the worst because I had no muscle control. I couldn’t even roll over, let alone get into mischief. Now I’m six months old, so I’ve got a bit more mobility, but still—most of my day is spent lying around or listening to Arvion’s stories. He’s really into legends.
Here’s a gem he told me the other day: Apparently, there’s a legendary dragon named Tharok the Terrifying who kidnapped a princess, only to be defeated by a prince wielding the Sword of Light in some epic battle. They got married and lived happily ever after. Barf.
Cringe alert! I’m 99% sure I made up that story when I was like, seven. Now people here are treating it like it is a gospel. How embarrassing. If that’s just one of the stories floating around Adamia, I really don’t want to know what else my younger self dreamed up. Ugh.
On the plus side, Arvion’s stories are giving me a better idea of the political situation. Even though I did create this world, the only thing I never wrote anything about was the people. The reason is simple: it's too complicated. Creating a world is much easier than creating its inhabitants. It's a bunch of physical laws and constants, with a measure of randomness, but in the end, it's all about logic. On the other hand, people are nowhere near logical or predictable. This is why besides a few legends about heroes and gods, I never wrote anything about the people of this world. I did create the different races populating Adamia, but it's just like a Wikipedia page, a bunch of information about their physical description or their attributes and that's it. So, I knew pretty much nothing about the political situation or the country's history.
Adamia is a massive world, kind of like Earth but with five continents. One of these continents is Westeros, home to four kingdoms, all primarily inhabited by Wielders. Now, when we say Wielders, we're talking about mortals with elemental powers. Anyone can become a Wielder as long as they’ve got an affinity for elements like water, earth, fire, air, light, or darkness. Though, for some reason, humans are the ones most likely to develop these powers.
Right now, I'm living in the Noctharrow Kingdom, one of the four kingdoms in Westeros. It’s ruled by the charmingly named Lord Mortimer Draegor. (I know, Mortimer—sounds like someone who’d steal candy from children or lurk in dark corners wearing a cloak. But hey, who am I to judge?)
Funny thing is, Noctharrow sounds vaguely familiar to me, but I can’t remember why. Maybe it’s one of those things I made up in my past life during a midnight brain fog session and then forgot about. You know, classic case of worldbuilder amnesia. Happens to the best of us.
The world is populated by various races: Elvarins (elves like Mom), Drakonids (half-dragon, half-human badasses), Sylphids (air spirits), Sylkies (mermaids), and of course, humans. Humans are the majority around here, and they’ve been fighting Drakonid invasions for centuries. The Drakonids are stronger and faster, which makes them awesome warriors, but also not very popular. Elves, on the other hand, mostly keep to themselves, but that doesn’t stop slavers from capturing them and selling them off to the highest bidder. Yay, racism.
Anyway, Mom’s been extra busy lately, working at the local inn to help pay the bills (and keep up with the hair dye costs). Today, though, she’s got the day off. It’s the second Prince’s birthday, and the whole town is out celebrating. Even Arvion wants to go watch some elemental powers demo at the plaza. Oh yeah—real magic, folks. Fireballs and everything. Finally, something interesting.

I’m dying to see it, but Mom’s like, “It’s too crowded for a baby.” Really? Six months of staring at the ceiling and you’re gonna deny me a magic show? Thanks, Mom. But after some stellar baby whining, she gives in. Victory is mine!
So off we go, with Mom wrapping me up in a blanket like a little burrito to hide my weird elf features. We get to the plaza, and there it is—magic! A wielder summons a huge fireball to block incoming rocks, then a second mage counters with an earth wall. It’s like watching a live-action RPG, and I’m here for it. Six months of waiting, and it’s so worth it.
As I’m watching, totally mesmerized, a blue window pops up in front of me. What the...?

That's… a status window, isn't it? Yup, definitely a status window! I blinked a couple of times, trying to absorb it all. I mean, sure, I based this world on RPG games, but I didn’t expect to get hit with an actual status screen! Seriously though—Level sixteen? Is that high? Meh, only one way to find out. Time to do a little comparing. How did it work again? Just gotta focus on someone random… Okay, let’s give it a shot.

It worked! And it’s surprisingly easy! I’m getting the hang of this world mechanic thing. Let’s see—Level 15, huh? Not too far off from Kael’s level, but still, after checking on some other, it seems like most people are below 5. Kids are around levels 1-2. Guess this guy is strong after all! I mean, they wouldn't let just anyone demonstrate earth magic in a crowded place with kids running around, right?
I decided to take a peek at Kael’s status again, and—whoa, it just evolved into something fancier!

Wait, there’s an advanced status? That’s... seriously cool. But… True Name? Michael? Weird, but whatever. Oooh, an affinity for earth magic—rank D? Isn't that kinda low? He threw out some pretty awesome earth elemental powers earlier! I wonder what someone with an A rank could do... Oh no. Not good. I’m getting excited.
Anyway, time to check out the next performance. The knights are showing off now. They look more like they’re dancing than fighting, but it seems to impress everyone else. Kids and adults are cheering like crazy. It’s cool and all, but elemental power's more my thing. So, naturally, I zoned out.
What? Am I biased? Naaah, just your imagination.
Anyway, while they’re busy with their sword dance, I’ve been thinking about my future. I don’t exactly plan to be an adventurer—too risky for my taste—but magic? Oh, I’m all in. No interest in swords, but magic school? Yes, please. I didn’t get much schooling in my past life, so maybe I can make up for it here. Make friends, learn spells—it’s gonna be epic.
Maybe I’ll become a healer. Yeah, it’s kinda ironic given I died of illness, but hey, it feels right. Healing people, saving lives, curing diseases… Yeah, that sounds amazing.
I, Solara Havinii, six months old, have decided on my future career!
…Wait, can I even do magic? Most commoners here don’t have much affinity for it. Nobles, on the other hand, seem to be swimming in magical potential. Ugh, I can’t believe I set this world up like that. C’mon, past me!
Ugh… What was I thinking?!
But I might as well check my own stats. If I can see everyone else’s, I should be able to see mine, right? …Right? Okay, here goes nothing.

What the heck? One in strength? Really? ONE? I get that I’m a baby, but ouch, that's a blow to my pride. Oh, forget that—what's with all these "Errors"? Is this a bug? Is the world system actually bugging out? That can't be good… And what’s with the “Administrator” thing? Shouldn’t I be a basic villager or something?
Maybe if I focus on it, I’ll get more info. Here goes nothing…
Administrator
The one who has access to the World System. The Administrator possesses the authority to define the Laws of the World and manage its Environment.

…Nooooooo! I can’t believe this! “Define the Laws of the World”?! That’s totally overpowered! But okay, it kinda makes sense. I mean, I did create this world, so I guess I set the rules, but… this is terrifying. I’ve read enough novels to know where this is heading. Reincarnation? Cheat abilities? And all these errors? Could it be…?
No, no, no, no, no. I don’t like this. I don't like this at all.
But… ugh, curse my curiosity!
