1 Dead Baby, 2 Dead Babies, 3 Dead Babies... 52 Dead Babies... 231 Dead Babies... 7,658 Dead Babies... 112,763 Dead Babies...
Oh hi, didn't see you there. Come in, come in.
Why am I counting dead babies?
Well it's simple, there's nothing else I can do.
Literally. Nothing. Not a God Damn Thing to do.
How did it come to this? To answer that question, let's backtrack a few months back, right to the hour I was born.
----------------------------------------
What the f*ck is going on? I thought to myself, And why is those eyes so big? Did I shrunk somehow? And who the hell keeps crying? Shut up for f*ck's sake!
It was then the memory of my torture in that stupid Gate came back. Then the memory of my last... discussion with a black blurry ball of... oh wait that's just God.
Ah that's right, that bastard. I'll bet he could've gave me some painkiller or some booze so I can make myself pass out sooner... But he didn't.
Mark my words... I'll get you back for this later... mark my words!
Alright, according to my memory, I've been reincarnated on this world... Terra.
I suppose he couldn't have done me a favor and give an adult body from the start. Nah, that would've been too convenient.
Speaking of my body, why the hell can't I move it? I tried to wiggle my fingers. No response. I command you to move in the name of your lord and owner, me: Move, fingers!
......
Nope, not one response, I can feel my fingers, but I have absolutely no control over it.
Why? Am I missing something? Maybe there's something I forgot, let's see...
Aha! It's that god damn seal he gave me. Speaking of the devil... a series of notifications flashed up in my vision.

Blah! Too much notifications to read. Annoyed, I gave them a quick overlook. Everything seems fine, I received massive bonuses as I would expect from a reincarnated story.
Ah, Inner Mind. That makes sense. That bastard did mention I would be sealed away for... how long was it? 5 years? I guess i'll be watching my outer self from back here for quite a while then.
Hmm, pretty sure Kruphix was the one who added that lol at the end of the last notification.
Does that mean I have more power ups?
Hmmmmm, interesting... Wait a second, Nine Yin Cultivation Seal? That "Seal" part doesn't sound good if what has happened so far is any indication to go by.
Sh*t, what has he done to my body now? Quick, gotta check my status window... *ding!*

1. Nine Yin Cultivation Seal (Duration: 10 years)
Alright let's see, check the important things first–– Stats!
Hmm no fame or infamy, that's normal. Typical starting health, but oddly enough low stamina for no reason at all... I'll need to check into that later.
Hmm seems the bastard's blessing gave me extra mana. Though I have no idea what the average mana level in this world is, so I'll judge that later.
That's right, I've chosen to Him Bastard, for dragging me and Melinda into this dangerous sounding world. I mean, in fantasies, worlds with magic and sh*t are always at war or something.
Hmm I have no clue what the difference between Mana and Chi is, but all my regenerations need a lot of work...
Going down, I checked my mental stats. Good, good, it seems my intelligence transferred over, though I'd thought my wisdom stat would be on par with my int stat... odd.
Extra Luck, excellent. Luck never hurts. Leadership, meh. What's an infant going to do with it anyways? Who cares.
So far so good.
Oh damn it, spoke too soon. 10 regular starting stats for my strength, agility, vitality and dexterity. But what worries me are those -200 in brackets beside each one...
What the hell?! When did I get a curse on me?
I hurried down the list, skimming through the skill section. Aha! There it is! Listed under Specials: Nine Yin Cultivation Seal (Duration: 10 years)
That's the only one possible, since the other skills look fine. I have no clue what alpha stigma is but I seem to remember reading about it in a novel before... some kind of eye power?
I'll check it out later. For now, Show Nine Yin Cultivation Seal.
Nine Yin Cultivation SealOnly heard of in legends before, this is a seal designed to artificially raise a person's Chi reservoir level. The Chi channels in your body has been blocked by this seal. You may not use any Transcendentals while this Seal is active. Additionally, a total of 800 physical stat points penalty has been imposed. You must first work off the negative 800 stat points before your actual physical stats can increase. It is rumored that upon the release of this cultivation seal, mysterious bonuses would be gained.
...I see. I suppose I should've guessed from its name. Cultivation Seal eh? Well the benefits would probably out weight the detrimental effects, but it essentially means I'm doom physically for the next 10 years, 5 of which I'll have to struggle with myself.
Damn. Well, is there anything I missed?
Oh right! I skipped the usually unimportant top section of the status window when I checked my stats. Let's see...
Prey Meyer Anderson. Oddly enough I seem to recognize this name, if only I can remember where from. Hmm normal alignment, though not necessarily true in my case. I've been given permission by God to do whatever I want anyways.
Bloodline? That's a first. Haven't seen that in a VR game or fantasy novel in my previous life before. So I have Esper power eh?
Handy... Oh sweet, lightning, my favorite Biribiri power hehehe... I could already imagine the potentials it has beside being used to fire a railgun.
I have the champion class as expected, and also the infant class. Doesn't seem like the class system is as restrictive as some of them are in VR games. Moving on~
Muwahahahahahaha triple affinities! When I get out of my own mind, be prepare to be awed suckers! Lightning affinity is to be expected considering my bloodline, blessed be whichever side gave me that! Fire. If the Fullmetal Alchemist series is anything to go by, Fire Alchemy has high battle potentials. And I've already been through that damned Gate of Truth, so I guess FMA alchemy is part of this world.
Hold on, that's strange, it's almost as if this world is a gathering of the fantasy world ideas from my old world that I've read about.
Which, I suppose, is highly likely. That's both a blessing and a curse in itself. Blessing in that I have paranormal abilities I've dreamed about, a curse in that some of the stuff I used to read... Well, let's just say they're not pleasant worlds to be in. Period.
Well I'll worry about that later. Three items left. Age, pretty specific. Race, Human. Good base I suppose, and probably the most common in any worlds. Last one, Gender... WHAT?!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Why am I a girl. This is f*cked up! I'm a man! How dare that bastard... f*ck! What am I going to do when people hit on me? Oh god, that would be disguesting. I'm not against Gays or Lesbians in anyway, except I'm not one myself. Hmm maybe I should consider lesbian relationships in the future.
*sign*Well, I suppose it's not a problem I have to deal with now, so I can procrastinate on it as usual.
Is there anything else? Hmm I don't think I missed anything. I guess its time to carefully look through the skills I have. What is a transcendental anyways? I'll have to ask that when I get out. Oh that's right, I may be stuck in here, but I should observe what situation I'm physically in.
Let's see, aha! A Movie screen popped up in front of me. Being inside my own mental domain sure is convenient. Wake up! Wake up! Open your eyes! Look around! I tried to pass the command down to my outer self.
No response. Damn it baby-me, don't ignore me!
Let's try this then. I tried to pass on the sense of being unable to sleep and curiosity to baby me. It's so hot in this blanket, get up! Don't you want to look around? C'mon!
Surprisingly, it started working after I did it about a hundred times. It takes time for a baby's consciousness to respond I suppose.
Looking up, I could see a ceiling... that's pretty neat with a painting of some kind of magic circle. What does that do? Oh... I got my answer at that moment. Small, blue lightning arcs could be seen around the circle thing for a second, then a ball of light formed in the middle of it.
This world's replacement for lightbulbs I suppose. Better this than candles and torches.
Ooh, I see someone! She looks likes a... french maid. Hoho, am I a son of a rich family or something? Ah he probably arranged it so I wouldn't die off too quickly. Huh? what?! what are you doing baby me? Stop crying for f*ck's sake! I'm locked in here damn it! Your crying is abnormally loud!
Is there anyway I can mute the volume of this place? I thought of a movie screen to see the outside world through my eyes, perhaps I could control the sound in this place too?
Aaah, much better. I've been traumatized by baby's crying once before, when my daughter Elaine was growing up. Be safe Elaine, I silently preyed. On a second thought, preying might not do her any good, if my meeting with God is any indication to go by.
Well, there's else to do I guess. I continued to watch through my outer self's eyes as the maid carried him around, before handing me to a man i haven't seem before. He seem well dressed... in a military uniform. Probably my birth father. The military uniform bothers me a bit, since military service could be dangerous... oh never mind that. I can see the Thick golden straps with three stars on it. Not a common soldier then, an officer of some kind probably. That's better, officers are usually cowards, hiding behind the frontline. Which means I don't have to worry about losing a resource soon. Er, I mean, family member.
Other than his uniform, he looks fit, not fat as I would expect from army officers. A kind looking face, about 30 I'd say, and blond hair. Thank god he doesn't have a mustache, cause that would've felt gross when he rubbed his face into mine. Gah! Get away from me you clingy father! I send the feeling of discomfort down to my baby self, and baby me started crying for Red.
Then I was handed back to Red the maid. I decided to call her Red since she has scarlet red hairs. I guess she's a natural redhead, since even the roots of her hair are the same fierce red.
Oh is that my birth mother? I was being carried to a separate room next door, and Red tilts her hold on me so mother could see me better. She's seems to be ok, already sitting up on the bed. A bit weakened by childbirth but at least not dying as far as I can tell. And I studied a bit of medicine back in my old world, so I actually know she'll recover soon. Living long has its benefits, including extended learning time. Good thing I always wanted to know everything lol.
How does she look like? Long, waist-length black hairs, she seem to be oriental, thought I can't decide if her face is more Korean looking or Japanese looking. A beauty by my standard, with vibrant green eyes. Probably could be a model back in my old world. Body? Go to hell! I'm not telling you that, though she got quite the...
Ah, she's seeing a lullaby, how sweet~ Finally, baby me stopped his- HER crying. Damn, getting used to being a girl is going to be a pain in the ass.
...And I don't mean that literally. Oh god, that could be so awkward now that I'm a girl. Someone stop me from imagining things!
Focus. Focus on mother's voice. First, unmute.
Chinese?! I recognize the language. I'd learned it long ago, even if my accent never got good enough to be accepted as a native. Well, one thing I wouldn't have to learn then, good for me. Quite the poet I'd wager. That or Mother got her lullaby from somewhere else. It's pleasant to listen to...
We stayed like that for a long time, while I take a break from reading my status and skills and just listened. Ah darn, she stopped. I wanted to hear that last one again! Time for the crib I guess.
Oh? I'm not being carried back to what I assumed to be my crib. It seems that I'll be sleeping here toni- Wha-what is she doing?
Oh, breastfeeding. Of course, how could I have forgotten about that? Well, I guess I'll continue to keep an eye for anything else unusual while I'm stuck here. Strangely enough, I thought to myself, I'd expected more magic devices like that magic light before, but so far that's the only magic device I've seen. Most strange indeed... a world with mana, but lacking magic devices. From the look of it, my family is quite well off, so shouldn't there be more? More stuff to check out when I get out of here, better add it to the already long to-do list.

Baby me's going to sleep. What an easy life. Wake up, get cared for, fed, and go back to sleep. Life as a child is something to be cherished, since its the only time you can get away with being lazy and no one will stomp on your feet to hurry you up.
My eye closes, and my movie screen goes dark. *sign* What now? Should I sleep as well?
I tried to go to sleep, imagining up a comfy king-size bed for myself. Ah, soft bedding and fluffy pillows, my second favorite fluffy thing after... er that's private, you don't need to know about my first favorite fluffy.
Sleep, I thought to myself, Sleep... sleepiness~ c'mon... Aaaaaaand, its not working. Why? I've had insomnia before, but I've always managed to catch some sleep sooner or later. Why is it not working here?
I must be missing something. Let's check if the system got anything on this place. Summon info window: Inner mind
*ding!*
Inner MindWelcome to your Inner Mind!
The Inner mind is the ultimate sanctuary, able to be shaped through imagination and focus.
The inner mind is difficult to access at first, but becomes easier to enter with practice.
Usually reached by Zen masters or experienced Chi masters during cultivation, you have been artificially locked in here.
Here, imagination is everything. As long as this state is maintained, you can even accelerate the time.
To be expected of cultivations, there is no need for sleep within one's inner mind.
Damn! I guess its a blessing to someone who actually reaches this place by their own will, but its a f*cking curse for me.
Locked in my own sub-consciousness. Can't sleep. And nothing much to do. For Five. F*cking. Years. Oh god, I can already tell this lack of presences or anything I have not thought up is going to drive me mad.
Grrr, must. find. something. to. distract. myself!
Show skill descriptions! Maybe I can find something to do there...

Higher rank and level will result in greater control, area of effect, and ability to use increasingly specialized alchemy with this method. Specialized alchemy will still require the use of alchemy circles.
Skill Name:Skill Rank:Skill Level:Skill Experience:Outer Mana Core ManifestationInitiate00.00%A trait limited to witches and potential witches. Although most witches are influenced by common belief to manifest their outer mana core as a hat, it is by no mean the only shape it can take. The first outer Mana core manifestation will determine its shape unless the user is proficient enough at mana manipulation to change it. At higher ranks, there is a random chance that the outer mana core will take on a part of the user's personality and form an alternate self, Sorella, a blood sister witch.
Oh wow, the descriptions are surprisingly detailed. Much more than I expected them to be. (And much more pain to write than I thought) I took my time slowly reading through all of them. As much of a bastard Kruphix is for forcing me to come here when I just wanted to join Melinda in heaven, his blessings are quite useful. If I remember correctly from FAM:B, alchemists use the tectonic plate's movement as their alchemy's source of energy. Ah! So that's why I have earth affinity, probably.
There was a warning against showing off that I have the potential to become a witch for some reason. Ah, the good old middle ages, I hope I don't burn at the stake. *shudders* Well, not that middle age from what I've seen so far. Perhaps little bit more advanced. Then again, I haven't really seen much today, so I can't say for sure. Better not use that outer mana core manifestation unless I really need to.
I'm so going to destroy this place if they have slavery. That practice is barbaric and evil. Though I haven't seen a beastman, beastkin, or whatever you want to call it, I can't rule out the possibility. They're treated badly, as animals, in most stories I've read. But that's a matter for another day.
Greater Battle Instinct... that's my saving Grace I suppose. I was by no means a fighter in my past life. Sure, I've seen countless martial art movies and awesome anime fights, and read about too many fights with paranormal powers in manga and novels to count, but never done any myself. Call me a coward if you will, I was an Intellectual, and any chance to cripple myself must be avoided.
Hmm, I could foresee a combine technique using Alpha Stigma and my Greater Battle Instinct. It stats alpha stigma can also see flaws or weaknesses, which I interprets as able to see the weakness of someone's fighting style too. Let's hope it is.
Chi manipulation... I don't know what to say for that skill, except tat it is essentially useless for the next 10 years, giving my Chi seal. A shame, I would've liked Baby me to level that for me if he could.
The troubling thing is, I don't know how to hide my skills... other than the one that other people automatically can't see 'cause they're from him. It's time to explore the functions and capabilities of this system.
Show Help Window! I sent out the mental command.
A small window popped up before me, listing all the options it has. (And I refuse to write any more tables today)
Aha! There we go, the option to hide skills! Excitedly, I apply the option to my mana related skills. There, I'm safe now. Cross my imaginary fingers and hope they don't have skills to bypass this option.
Now then, only five hours has passed since I came into this body and got trapped here. I doubt the baby me is waking up anytime soon... and I spoke too soon again as usual.
She just crapped her pants. Ewww, no bowel control whatsoever. That uncomfortable feeling in the diaper is waking her up, aaaaand mute!
Phew, made it just in time as she starts to cry. Wow, she got quite the loud voice judging by the way Red practically ram through the door to get to me. Either that or she's been waiting outside all this time. Nah, that's not likely, even for a maid. They need their own time after all. I resolved to finding out her name later on.
Baby me got changed diaper. A little soft lullaby and she's sound asleep. How envious, since I can't sleep at all. Wait, don't think about that!
Damn, too late. Ugh fine, I'll find some other distractions to busy myself with.
I started conjuring up more stuff. Skyscraper took me quite the long time to build, since I obsessed over every detail. The Space elevator took me twice as long to build, though the material I conjured up isn't quite real, only theorized back when I was working on the project. It was ultimately abandoned due to lack of proper material technology and funding. Perhaps I can build an actual one here with the incorporation of magic.
Speaking of which, I need to find out more about this world and its different types of powers. Add that to my mental To-Do list, which is surely a mile long by now at least. Back to building stuff, there was tons of stuff I wanted to make but couldn't due to one restriction or another back in my old life. But here, in my inner sanctuary, no such limitations exist mwuahahahahaha!
-hahahahah- WHAT?! No! My previous creations are fading away! I looked back, the bed I had created, and the movie screen I created first are no longer there. Damn, is there a set time until they disappear?
No, this is my inner domain. Which means their disappearance probably has more to do with my mental state then anything else, except maybe my mental stats. Clam, deep breathe, I can rebuild them, that takes up time anyways.
As I worked to rebuild my previous creations, a window popped up in front of me for some reason.
Due to continuous mental training, you have gained the Concentration stat +10
Well ain't that sweet! Hope it means my creations won't fade away as quickly as they did now. Hmm let's test that out.
I conjured up a fluffy sofa for myself and collapsed on it, exhausted. That was strangely more tiring than I thought it would be in a dreamworld. That's when I noticed Baby-Me was waking up.
And boy is she hungry~ What was it again? Ah right, MUTE! Blessed silence surrounded me as my outer self started crying obnoxiously as only a baby can. Truly, they are the demons from hell when they cry! I remember when Elaine was at my current age (A strange thought, to be sure.) I often wondered how could such a small child produce such an obnoxiously loud sound. Endless nights of sleep deprivations continued after that.
I return my attention back to the present world I'm in. Oh mother's breastfeeding again. I've heard breastfeeding is better than artificial milk formulas, maybe it is true. Good, doting parents mean less work for little me hehehe... and possibly will limit my future actions. That need to be amended. Still, there's not much I can do beside sending feelings to my outer self, and that alone takes too much effort. The only consolation I had was in the fact that all those mental training I was distracting myself with gave me some mental stats.
Wake up, Cry, Feed, Diaper Change, Being carried around the inside of what I'm assuming to be a mansion, since the daily walk with Red is quite long, Feed again, Diaper Change, and so on. Go to sleep under Mother's lullaby.
Truly, an experience to be treasured.
And so several months passed by while I observed the outside world from my porch in my inner mind. It was quite peaceful, and baby me was quite content with her life.
Except I'm completely bored. There's only so much weird constructions I wanted to make back in my old world but couldn't. They called me a mad scientist or evil genius behind my back for a reason, but I'm completely out. I got a complete city full of odd junks and impossible buildings now, and nobody else to enjoy it with. Damn.
With nothing else to do, I eventually ended up just counting sheep jumping the fence. Or in my case, counting dead babies, 'cause that's how I felt about the lazy Baby Me not doing anything.
I mean, for real, most reincarnated characters in story starts mana training or stuff like that while they were in infant stage right? Granted that does make them creepy weirdos that I'm always surprised medieval families put up with without complain, but at least they got Something to do.
Back to counting dead babies then. Let's restart, already reached 12 billion anyways:
1 Dead Baby, 2 Dead Babies, 3 Dead Babies... 52 Dead Babies... 231 Dead Babies... 7,658 Dead Babies... 112,763 Dead Babies...
Oh God, I'm SO bored! That is, until that fateful day happened...
