3 Golden finger: Daily rewards
Six months later.
It has been six months since I reincarnated into this world and if I have to really say it myself then I would say that being a child is not a child's play at all.
You have absolutely no privacy and you are treated like a toy instead of a person. You have no privacy and people would rub your cheeks, pinch your nose and talk absolute gibberish and expect you to do something....anything....and you have no privacy.
And were you to not give any response for example throw a fist or a leg in air or perhaps crack a smile at moving objects, people will assume that you are either hungry, or want to poop or have a stomach ache...
And you have absolutely no f**king privacy.
That's tiring af.
I mean I need privacy.
My absolute need for privacy started when I was able to get my hands on a virtual book, a how to guide on increasing the magic as a daily reward on the 30th day. It contained the information on how to effectively increase MAG stat and as a consequence increase MP and dwelled on the finer details such as how to finely control mana.
But in order to do the mental exercises noted in the book, I needed a lot of time and patience and the constant badgering from the people around me did nothing but hamper my progress.
In the last five months, I was only able to increase my MAG stat by a mere 50 points.
Well, I could have increased it even more if it were not for the constant pestering from my siblings and if I had used some of the daily rewards instead of saving them for later use.
Sigh....but such is life. You do not get everything you want.
Speaking of getting something, I opened my inventory and immediately saw many types of items in the different blocks of inventory. These were the daily rewards that I have accumulated for the last six months. Perhaps this is what they call a golden finger. No matter what, I get a reward each day upon waking up. And even if I do not accept it, the reward is automatically transferred into the inventory at the end of the day.

And did I mention siblings? Yeah? Well, I have six of those...them.
My father is Arthur, Arthur Windsor has three wives. Martha, Berta, and my mom, Silvia.
My father's first wife, Martha has three kids, one daughter and two sons: Mina, Ruth and Bert. Ruth being the eldest and Bert being the youngest. Ruth is the eldest of all my siblings as well.
His second wife, Berta has three sons: Sam, Caleb and Jacob. All of them look very humongous for their age.
And my mother Silvia has me, Theodoric Windsor, the youngest addition to the family.
I don't know what father does but from the looks of the castle in which my family lives in, I would say that he is some sort of noble.
Well, I don't know everything. I mean I have just started to understand the language and I don't really know just how much time would it take me to start understanding all of it. I mean the structure of the sentences is completely different and I think people also use some extra verbs at the end of their sentences. I have not been able to figure it out completely but I will.
Anyways, I should start doing the breathing exercises....time waits for no men and I have wasted enough of it already.

Five months later.
Surprisingly, my birthday was celebrated today. During the event, my father said that I was very lucky to have survived my first year as I rarely cried and made a fuss.....and no one disagreed. He even said that he would donate a large sum to the local church of the 'Light God' so that the Gods may bless me with long life.
Oh come on! For the better part of my time, I have been doing nothing but doing the exercises to increase my MAG stat everyday...you don't have to go that far.
But I guess, I have been making them worry over nothing.
'Mom, Dad! Sorry for not being normal. From now on, I shall pay attention to your worries and try to act like a normal one year old.'
But how do one year olds normally act? I think they run around very often. Should I take this opportunity to move around the castle?
But that would probably make them worry even more.
Then, what should I do? Should I cry once in a week so that they could finally be at ease? or should I follow them around?
Wait a second, that does seem like a good idea.
I have never been to many places in the castle but if I stick around with either of my parents then I'll get to see more of it.
So from next day, I started sticking around with my parents.
My father, Arthur Windsor was, as I had suspected, a noble. He was an Earl who had a small territory of seven villages and a city in the eastern borders of the Greten Kingdom.
But despite being his son, I shall not be inheriting any of his territory and neither will Bert, Caleb, Sam and Jacob. The right to inheritance solely belonged to the eldest son of the Windsor family, my eldest brother, Ruth.
Honestly, I was a bit glad that I will not be the one to inherit any of it. After all, I had no way of taking care of so many people.
So the thought of having to take care of so many people was scary. Even if I have made progress from my past useless self, I was still not someone who could provide for anyone.
My mother on the other hand was a famous alchemist in the city. Her potions were not only cheaper, they gave better results than other local alchemists' potion.
After seeing her whip one potion after another made me feel like I should give it a try as well.
But unfortunately, I had no raw materials and did not know the proper ways to make the potions either.
Continuously moving the body was still hard and I had no plans on doing physical exercises that would be harm my body. So I just played around normally with my siblings and spent the rest of my time increasing my MAG stat and my control over the mana.
Soon, the seasons visited and left like travellers and I turned 5.
