My name is Noctis Thorne, probably not the first name I would've picked, but it's grown on me for the short time I've spent in this new world.
The good news is, the reincarnation worked. I remember everything from my previous life.
The bad news, however, is that I am still an infant. Which, in all honesty, is pretty lame.
I can barely move my head, and for most of the day I just sit and lie around as I throw up on myself. Not exactly the glamorous start, but hey, I knew what I was signing up for.
There are some things that I assumed would've felt a bit more awkward or that I would've been opposed to, like being breastfed by my new mother; however... I adapted to it really quickly; it feels almost normal to me. Like in my mind, I know it shouldn't, yet it just is.
Maybe what I'm feeling has something to do with what Orion said about my brain regressing slightly during my younger years. Honestly, I feel pretty lucky that this is the case; this would feel so much weirder if my brain wasn't working the way it is.
Anyway, I'm going off on a tangent; what else is new? Oh yeah, I have an entire new family.
Firstly, there's my father, Maximus Thorne. He's an interesting character. He's a military general first and foremost; his navy blue military suit almost never comes off. The man is in incredible shape; I mean, his muscles almost pop out of that suit he wears. The guy is always suited and booted. He also has an odd sense of style when it comes to his hair. His hair is a nice shade of brown; however, he styles his hair into a goofy-looking mohawk and handlebar mustache. I'm not kidding you; that's what the man looks like. But at the end of the day, he's seemed rather kind-hearted so far, so that's all that matters.
Next we'll visit my mother. She looks deceptively young, being in her early forties yet looking in her mid-twenties. She has long, flowing black hair and a smile that can light up the room. She's always wearing sleek designer dresses, usually in red since it's her favorite color. Which, of course, the look makes sense considering she works as a clothes designer, running one of the largest clothing outlets in the entire Republic, Arcana Threads. Her name is Leva Thorne, and she is, out of everyone who lives in this household, the one who dotes on me the most. I mean, when this lady isn't working, she is absolutely smothering me.
Lastly, in terms of family members, we have my older sister, and when I say older, I mean much older. My parents had her seventeen years before they had me. She's already getting ready to leave the house soon; she plans on enlisting in the military, looking to follow in our father's footsteps. She's usually busy; however, I rarely see her around the house, but whenever I do, she's been rather kind towards me as well. In terms of looks, she takes after our mother a great deal, aside from her red hair color and slightly taller stature. Her name is Elana Thorne.
That about does it for family; we also have a butler who takes care of many tasks around the house. He's a rather older-looking man, with long, tied-back grey hair. He's incredibly proper and formal in every scenario I've seen the guy in, always wearing a fancy butler's uniform, bowing, and making sure people around him, even my parents who can be rather careless, remember their proper manners when in his presence.
Yeah, we have a butler. I find that to be the craziest thing so far. I mean, my family was dirt poor in my previous life, so living in what's seemingly the lap of luxury is a lot for me to take in; I'm not really used to it at all. However, despite my not being used to it, I sure will take advantage of it.
I have to remember why I decided to reincarnate into this life in the first place—to live it to the fullest. I'm going to find a dream I can chase, a goal that will bring me endless excitement, and I'm going to use all the resources that have been presented before me to achieve all that I possibly can and to feel as fulfilled as I possibly can.
As of now, I'm merely just a baby, but very soon I'll be able to walk and talk and do so much more. Once I get to that point, I plan on studying this world and looking into all it has to offer me. As a baby, I've been exposed to very little so far, considering almost my entire existence has been spent trapped in this bedroom.
But soon, that will change.
I've got to keep in mind this isn't any old world I've been reincarnated into. This comes from Orion's mouth: I'm in an amazing world full of magic. It even has a cool name, Valdus Oro. Maybe I can become a tough mage or something. Maybe this world has cute elves or badass dragons. I'm getting absolutely jazzed just thinking about all the possibilities this world has to offer.
Come on, body, grow faster. I'm growing impatient. I need to get out there and live life to the fullest, because that is my ultimate goal in this new world.
As I've already said, my name is Noctis Thorne, and I am... going to make something of this second chance. You can believe that.
