Chap 2.
Enjoy UwU.
---------------------------------------
I think it's been about 2 months since I've been in this formative state, I can't deny that it's uncomfortable not being able to do anything but at the same time it's interesting to see every part of your body being born and growing.
However the best part that I discovered is that I can change to some extent how I grow, it was kind of instinctive, so I had a bit of a bold idea, since I don't know where I will be born or in what financial condition the basics would be to have a strong body.
So I started to focus on increasing my size and weight and limb width and although I wasn't fully formed my weight was already around 10 pounds, I would be born a super baby.
The system also kept going down, I estimate that when I am about 8 months pregnant it will finish and settle down, I can imagine that maybe that is the date of my birth I am not sure.
However the biggest surprise of the moment, in my formative state I became able to feel magical energy!
At first it was a bit sketchy almost non-existent, but as I tried to feel it the clearer it became, from the looks of it my mother is a mage and although I am not sure yet she seems to be a blood mage.
Hemomancy!
I kind of realized why the magic flowing from her was red and had some interaction with blood, anyway if she is a blood mage I can eliminate many regions of Runeterra where I could be born.
The first is Noxus, after all it has the crimson society and several healers who use Hemomancy learned through Vladimir, the second and unlikely option would be where ancient Icathia was, with Xolaani's followers some might be able to use blood magic.
Now the fifth important point I learned in that time, although I could not absorb or use my mother's blood magic I could absorb the magic that flowed naturally through her.
It's like trying to fill a reservoir in drops but it's better than nothing, the feeling of power rising within me though slowly was very pleasurable, my only doubt would be how to control it but I should have a better idea as I develop.
Now let's wait.

7 months and 26 days later.
(99%)
I became extremely focused on the loading screen in my mind almost as if it was a treasure that could disappear at any moment if I didn't pay attention, lately I developed the habit of talking to myself and asking my own opinion.
i think they call it schizophrenia, but after 4 months without talking to anyone and my only source of joy being reviewing my Runeterra knowledge and absorbing magic i started to develop an uncontrollable urge to interact with another person.
I want someone to talk to me, and my hope lies in my system that will complete its download at any moment, by the way I have grown so much, I have grown so much that I can't even grow anymore.
I must be an incredible 22 kilos still in the belly of my mother who by the way can't even walk anymore without help and needs to use magic to relieve her pain constantly, and although I feel kind of bad about this it was something positive for me that allowed me to absorb more magic naturally, although the process was still kind of slow.
I'm sorry mom, I'm not even born yet but I'm already bringing you so much trouble.
I raised my small hand as a sign of struggle and sympathy for my mother before turning to my most important goal.
According to the timing it would be now that I would climb the last 1 percent, I couldn't help but cheer up and smiled unconsciously, although it came out a little strange in my baby body.

What the (Highly offensive swear words), you're making a fool out of me aren't you? This is a prank, it has to be!
I started to wriggle in anger and heard some moans of pain from my mother and felt the bubble where I was breaking, " Oh no." I said internally, my violent movement eventually caused the sac to rupture and I was going to be born at any moment.
However before I could recover from the shock a Beep was emitted in my head.

( Ding! The best system for the host to survive in this world has been evaluated!)
( Starting Birthday Gacha System!)
( System note: Your current skills and achievements will be displayed on your information screen, you can access the system by thinking about it!)
( As you are about to be born you have received 1 gacha ticket! Good luck!)
A bunch of lines appeared on the screen in my mind and I couldn't help but curse internally, " A Gacha system! So many better options but soon a gambling one!" If not for the lack of oxygen I could have screamed right there inside my mother's belly.
However although I complained I didn't hesitate to open the system and see what it had to offer, soon a wheel of fortune appeared in my mind with a bunch of different and unique skills written on each end but which strangely I couldn't read but could discern the quality by looking at each one.
There were the white ones, which I imagine are the common ones, the blue ones which must be the rare ones, the purple ones which must be epic, the legendary orange ones and the mythical or divine golden ones I imagine, I made that scale because of the variety of colors, there were only two dozen golden colors and many white colors.
" That seems very random, but it doesn't hurt to try after all it is the first time lucky!" I thought and without hesitation I clicked on spin the wheel and a chase-miguel song began to play as I prepared myself for my skill.
---------------------------
Meanwhile outside.
" Go ahead miss! Go ahead!" A midwife shouted to Silvana who wanted to cry in pain but had no extra strength to do so, Silvana was a noblewoman from an ancient marquess family of the capital and was given her hand in marriage to a new Marquis of the North who earned his title fighting the barbarian tribes of Freljord, she had white hair typical of the ancient nobility of Noxus and was well known in the circle of nobles thanks to the crimson society.
" Lord Robert BlackIron is entering!" A soldier at the door announced the arrival of her husband whom she had met 1 year and 3 months ago, soon a large man, 6 feet 85 inches tall, strong scarred muscles, dark hair and beard, a stern face with a half pale skin from the northern cold and although he was only 32 years old this year anyone looking at him would say he was already in his late 40s.
Robert entered the room exuding the confidence of a great commander but the moment he laid eyes on his wife screaming in pain and trying to give birth to their child his hard facade immediately crumbled and he ran to hold Silvana's hand in desperation.
" You took your time ******!" Silvana was beside herself at that moment and found in Robert an opportunity to vent by offending him in every way possible while pushing as hard as she could to get the little monster in her belly out.
Robert of course was not prepared for this, his normally gentle and calm wife was offending him in ways even his ancestors probably felt offended, " Go ahead my love, go ahead." He could only give his support to her.
The situation continued for 20 minutes with no result and impatience was already overpowering Silvana, the midwife also did not know what to do, no matter what she did the baby could not come out of the small hole.
"WANT TO KNOW! I'LL GET YOU OUT MYSELF!" Silvana said angrily and using her blood magic floated in the air before opening her belly with a precise cut of a blood blade and pulling our protagonist out of her before cutting her umbilical fat and making him fly to the midwife.
" Ohh!" The midwife surprised by her lady's actions grabbed the huge baby in her arms but lost her balance and fell to the floor, " My god he's heavy!" She said in surprise as she lifted the baby with difficulty and looked at the newborn who to her surprise opened his eyes and looked back at her.
The midwife paralyzed as she looked at that newborn being covered in blood that was staring at her deeply intimidating her, in all her life she had never seen such a strange birth and an even stranger baby.
In the end all she could think was that this baby would be strong, he was destined to be strong, she thought and didn't even notice Robert approaching and without any difficulty taking the baby from her arms and the two of them looked each other in the eyes.
" You have a good eye!" Robert didn't know that it was not natural for babies to open their eyes after being born, but the situation was already quite abnormal so it wouldn't surprise him, " His name will be Julius BlackIron, my son!" He said with pride and renewed confidence and went to show the baby to Silvana who saturated her open belly on her own and let out a sigh of relief as she felt all the pain stop, even if temporarily.

Perspective from our newly appointed Protagonist Julius.
I looked in anticipation at the spinning wheel and could feel the muscles around me twitching trying to get me to leave but I couldn't wait for that moment and kept waiting for the wheel to finish spinning.
Soon it was stopping and I crossed my fingers mentally as I watched it start to stop, it started to slow down and looked like it was going to stop on a golden and I almost let out a happy cry but immediately after that the hand went one more and stayed on a white for a moment making my heart freeze before going one more forward.
This situation continued for a few moments making me realize that it might be some sort of divine prank but before I could curse the pointer stopped on an Orange skill.
( Big luck! You got the legendary skill - Portal Travel.)
( Portal Travel: You can open a portal twice a day for 30 minutes, you can open it anywhere as long as you can imagine it, (recharge time 12h per use). Count 2/2.)
My emotions froze as I saw the ability I gained, it wasn't bad, in fact it was very good but....
" What use will I have for this while I am a baby!" I wanted to roar in anger but held myself back internally knowing that would not be wise, at that same moment I felt the blood magic activating and I got a fright as I saw my belly open and I was pulled out before my umbilical cord was quickly cut.
There was no pain, it was very quick even but I felt myself being thrown again and I bumped into someone, I opened my mucus covered eyes and could only see a blur in front of me, at that moment my hearing began to work even if weakly and I took a long breath opening my lungs for the first time.
