Chapter 3 - The Past Emotions
After 3 months
---
Main Character's POV
Now I am 5 months old and can see clearly with no distance blur problem. It's hard being a baby. I can feel your pain, King Gray, aka Arthur Leywin. I got to know the exact year through the local magic newspaper which my mom and dad were reading near me. It says 1977. Can you believe it? We are in the 1970s, but the fashion feels like the 1700s-1800s. From the headlines, it looks like some terrorist attacks or serious racism is going on in magical Britannia. And yes, it's the UK. I am on the same planet or a parallel Earth with wizards.
Now that my parents leave me alone for a bit longer period, I can finally check my status and perks. Although I am confident that I am the only one who can see it, this is a house of wizards, not normal people, so who can guarantee they won't feel anything directly or indirectly?
Anyway, time to check the status perks. I commanded in my mind to open the status panel, and it appeared in front of me.

After looking at my status, I clicked on the notice tab to view it.

Seeing the notice gave me relief as well as panic at the same time—relief that this is a real world with real people, panic that I have a time limit in this world. During the few days with my parents, I came to like them. It's not like I forget everything from my past life, but when someone is this sincere and genuinely cares, you tend to like and care for them. Being born as their child, not loving them because of the past would be unfair in many ways. Sometimes it is best that we learn from our past and live to our fullest in the present. No matter how glorious or best the past is, we cannot always live in nostalgia. After all, "Grand Master Oogway once said: 'Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present.'" As for the time limit, that's a problem for future me.

From a General POV

Husband- "what happened? You look down."
Wife-"Nothing, it's just that Ash doesn't seem right. Although he smiles and plays with me, a hint of sadness is present in his eyes."
Husband -"You might be thinking too much because of the war and the current environment. Ash is just a child."
Wife -"You are right. He is just a child—a very cute child."
Husband -"How long has he been sleeping?"
Wife -"Just got to sleep, but still..."
Husband -"You are overthinking. Children cry, laugh, and become sad from time to time. See, he is crying as he dreams."
Wife -"Hmm, you are right. I might be overthinking."

Main Character's POV
After I woke up, my eyes were numb. Maybe the sadness in my heart had come out as tears, but I felt relaxed as if a heavy weight had been lifted.
