A few weeks passed..
After the first day Syla was born, she had a great deal amount of ruckus inside her humble abode.
People from outside came to see her, she apparently lived in a village full of demi-humans, some people who came played jokes and made funny faces, while some touched her cheeks to feel her smooth skin, all of that attention made Syla tired all the time, and she spent most of her day sleeping like a normal baby.
In this particular day, Syla was alone in her wooden crib, her mom was taking a nap next to her, seemingly tired from taking care of Syla, her father was working outside as a hunter for the village, it was dangerous, but from what she heard in this past few weeks, her father seems to be a skilled combatants, so there's no need to worry.
'My father's name is Hargal, and my mom's name is Yulia, and our family's name is Clawenfall.. That's why my name is Syla Clawenfall– I've peeked a couple times to the outside world when i was being held by mom, and it seems like we lived quite far from other villages, atleast human villages, theres only trees in the distance, so i assume we are in the middle of the woods. As for this world, it's just like how i requested it to that god, magic exists, and i've heard people talking about monsters that lived outside the village— That confirms it, this world is as exciting as i expect it to be—
'I heard i inherited my mom's hair and my father's eyes, when i look at my parents, my hair seems to be white too, and my eyes are crimson red— Aren't i a bit too extraordinary? Is this normal in this world? I did request an attractive appearance, but isn't this a bit much? Damnit what did you do to me you damn god..'
Syla kept thinking about her plans when she will be able to step outside, the thought of using magic and hunting monsters sounded nothing but pure ecstasy to her, and she can't wait to try it out.
'If theres magic, there will be mana, and usually, mana are energies that you can feel if you focus and imagining a vein that flow throughout your entire body— !!'
A cold feeling suddenly washed over Syla, its as if an ocean wave just crashed into her, she was startled, but immediately knew what it was, there's only one answer to that feeling, and it was—
'Mana! Im sure of it! that's mana! The cold feeling, and the sudden image of a blue energy coursing through my body, that's undoubtely mana.' Syla thought, her mind raced with excitement.
At the age of just a few weeks old, Syla was able to feel the presence of Mana and even managed to see the image of it inside her mind, this was most likely the benefit of her reincarnation, a fully developed conciousness at this age means she was able to comprehend and understand things that usually never meant to be understood by a literal baby. That also means she can accelerate her growth by an exceptional margin compared to other people of her age.
'If i can feel mana, maybe i can also—
Syla tried to lift her hand up to the ceiling and speaks, but because of her body, she was unable to say any comprehensible words.
"Ugaa! Ugu!"
Poof!
There was— Nothing, silence quickly fill the room as Syla's hand was still lifted upwards, she waited for a few more seconds before giving up and let her hand fall down.
'That was kind of embarassing, of course it wouldn't work..' Syla said to herself, she should've expected it, but it was worth to try.
Just then, a grunting noises can be heard beside Syla, her mom wakes up from her nap, most likely due to hearing Syla's voice and thinking that something might've happened to her, her mom quickly looked over her and said—
"Hm? what happened Syla? Is your diaper need to be changed?"
Syla's mother, Yulia, lifted her daughter to check the cloth beneath it, and just as she had expected, it was wet.
"Ah, looks like i need to wash your bed and clothes." Yulia said as she put Syla down on her bed.
'Bro what, another one? How often do i need to piss myself!? I can't even feel it coming..' Syla thought, feeling kind of guilty but also already used to it since she had it worse before in this past few weeks.
.

Hours passed, and now the sun is about to set—
Inside of Syla's house, her father Hargal had just came back from hunting, his clothing was tattered and dirty, she and her mom greeted Hargal at the door and gave Syla to him as her mother prepares for a bath and dinner.
"Hello my beautiful Syla, daddy's home!" Said her dad out of the blue, they sat down on a chair with long table infront.
"Agaaa! Guu! Agagaga!" Syla seems happy to be with his father, she smiled while looking up to see her father's face, and without her knowing, the fluffy tail behind her also swayed left and right, it was a sign of excitement.
"Hahaha! Are you glad to meet me? Your dad's strong right?" He said, giving Syla's smile back to her with his own.
'So cool! Goddamn! Bro you have no idea how much i want to say to bring me with you when hunting! Let me go with you when i grow up!' Syla said in her mind, for so long she had been always fascinated with hunters and combats, the fact that her dad is one of her is a flex.
'Is there a way for me to skip a few years into the future!? Come on, atleast just wake me up when im 3 years old..'
A few moments later, when Syla was still playing with her dad, Yulia suddenly called over and said—
"Dear! Your bath is ready! Go clean yourself and join us for dinner!"
"Okay! I'll be there." Syla's dad replied, he then told Syla, "Let's go to your bed." Before standing up and walking to the bedroom where Syla's crib was waiting for her.
'— I need to learn how to speak as soon as possible..' Syla said to herself, convincing herself to try harder in adapting to her new body.
.

A month later—
Still inside of Syla's wooden abode. This time, she was playing with her mother, her mother was trying to teach Syla how to crawl, she put her on the floor and then walked a few steps before sitting down and telling Syla to come to her.
"Syla! Look! I have something!" Her mother eagerly said with a wooden toy in her hand, she shakes the toy until it makes a sound to attract Syla's attention, and so far, it was working.
Syla looks at the toy in her mother's hand and began crawling towards it, slowly but surely her arms and legs began to move accordingly and she made it to her mom's lap.
"Yay! You did it! Im so proud of you! You're just a month old and yet you can already crawl! Are you a genius!?"
Meanwhile, inside of Syla's mind, she was curious with the things around her.
'Now that i can crawl, i wonder if mom would let me crawl to anywhere else, if so.. I want to go to that bookshelf..' She thought, scanning her surroundings while sitting on her mother's lap.
"Gu! Guu!" Syla tries to say something, but obviously it was blocked by her own mouth.
Her mom looks at her in confusion, and then that's when Syla shocked her mother with her gesture. She lifted her right arm and pointed her finger towards the bookshelf.
"Gaa! gu ga!!"
Her mother gasped in shock, taking a look at what Syla was pointing and noticed it was pointing towards the bookshelf.
"Syla, did you just tell your mom to go there? Oh my.. Do you want me to bring you to the bookshelf? Do you want to read some books?" She said, asking Syla if she could understand what she was saying.
"Gu ga! Gaa!!" Syla responded with louder voices, at that point her mother knew that her child was nothing like a normal child, she thought to herself—
'Syla.. Is she, is she a genius!? Could that be my daughter is gifted?'
Without wasting any more time, Syla was then lifted up and brought to the bookshelf, where she stared at the books infront of her, there was only a few of them, since her family wasn't the type that likes to read, but it was sufficient for Syla who can't do anything else beside seeing.
