Chapter 5: Learning
Chapter 5: Learning
Hungry.
I woke the next day and felt starved. My mother was still asleep. I was starving, so I had to cry, which pissed me off that I needed others to eat. I was a very individualistic person in the past, and I did everything on my own.
My crying woke my mother and father up since my dad must have come in sometime after we started sleeping. My mother put me up to her tits, and I started suckling for the milk. Later I craped or pissed myself, and that summed up my days. For months this continued my mother, after six days, was a cleaning maid. My father, a stable hand, both slaves for a Marquis. Although they were slaves with brands on them, I saw in a crest shape; they were treated more like serfs.
As I grew, my physical stats slowly increased. My intellect grew slower, and my wisdom the slowest, but all I could do in my boredom was math equations that I made up and solved in my head. I was bored as my body could not yet handle individual movement. Eventually, I started to try to solve two equations at a time. After three to four months, I started to master this skill in my head.
That was the highlight of my first six months of life, learning. That was what I proceeded to do more of; learn. I started to master things I had only a slight hang of before in my mind that would be useful in this life as well. I started to work on my mastery over mediation and my memory palace that was so useful in my previous life.
I was proud of the memory palace. It was a technique used to help people have a better long-term memory by storing all of it in a place that you can reference. It took me a month and a half to learn and implement before I finally mastered it again in this body. I felt in this world that I could take it farther than I had before, so I continued to practice it.
When I turned 8 months old, I could finally move, or more appropriately, I had the ability to crawl. Then I discovered something that pissed me off. Just because I have a universal language skill doesn't mean I can read and write it. My mother found a book one of the Marquis had misplaced and showed it to me before putting it in his library.
There are shortcuts in the system but many obstacles in real life to get a move with life that I took for granted in my last life, I realized. One from the world and country I was born education was a must to all and publically available to all, but I doubt it will be here.
I was tempted to use the ten tickets on my lotto system, but I waited. I wanted to know how much they were worth. I also wanted to see if there was a way to increase my luck further for them. I had no idea how to get System points. Now that I could crawl, I moved around when I could, but when my parents were gone, I started to work out to the best of my abilities. I also use my four limbs to walk more like an animal to increase my speed instead of on my knees and elbows rather than my hands and feet.
Soon I had a much firmer grasp on moving on all fours. It felt even faster and easier than walking in some circumstances.
Not much happened though my father continued with his work in the mansion, and my mother continued with her work. Once and a while, I would hear my mother and father having sex beside me, and my mother was clearly faking orgasms. I felt sorry for her, but it wasn't my problem.
When I turned nine months old, my stats looked like this.

Not bad I thought to put more work into my stats but I could feel things were going to change soon as I near my first birthday. Call it instinct.
