2 I Woke Up Like This

Being a baby is as fun as it seems, no worries just sleep and titties.

My mother died after my birth so I was sent to an orphanage run by nuns. Like on Earth they also worshipped a god, called Alaris. He is the god of tranquility and friendships. How that translates to owning an orphanage I have no idea.

I live on an island off the mainland called Ghilafalgal by the natives. Being restricted to live as a one year old has its perks. You have more time to listen than talk and if you don't make noise, the adults genuinely want you around.

The funny thing I found while listening is that this island is like Ohio. All the residents know it's terrible but they generally don't leave. They complain all day long but never try to leave.

But what do I know, I'm just a 16 yr old trapped in a 13 month old body.

...….

Four years old is a strange time.

I am gaining more control over my body and I am allowed to speak but I don't want to come off as a genius just yet. Every MC knows you need to mature before rising from the ashes.

Because I can now talk, I got to meet more of my orphan brothers and sisters. There are 7 of us in total. The oldest is 8 and has already awakened.

Oh yea, kids in this world awaken their powers as early as 6 and as late as 17. It's a general rule of thumb that the earlier you awaken the better the power but there are some exceptions.

Martus is the 8 year old's name, but we call him Marty. He is a week in from his eighth birthday so awakening his power is pretty impressive.

Powers were awakened randomly and Marty was lucky enough to awaken with a defensive circle power. His skin gets covered with a crab like armor. I think it is called Kerasin? Keratin? Either way he gets tough and a little bit strong. He is barely eight so he can only cover his arms.

The rest of the orphanage looks at him with starry eyes and adulation. I have to fake my wonder and excitement every time and it's starting to get annoying. I can't wait till my power awakens, I hope it is cool and OP. I was racking my brain trying to guess. Apparently, my mother was a street urchin that had decent water bubble powers. And no one knew who my father was because he left when my mother found out she was having me.

It's crazy how my second life almost reflects my first life. Two bastard dads, two moms trying their best, I guess things don't change.

I really hope I get an awesome power though, whatever it may be.
