"Huh, where am I?" Desmond muttered. He tried to recall his memories, but the pain was so agonizing that he cried out.
Finally, he remembered the incident that had caused his death. So because of my carelessness, I died.
So that means I\'m in heaven?
He looked around only to find darkness.
This is not heaven because heaven is beautiful. So this must be hell?
Looking back at my life, I know why I would be in hell; that makes sense, but I can\'t undo what I\'ve already done.
As mafia heir, Desmond remembered his life full of blood. Taking another life, murdered, threatening business, and torturing, this was Desmond\'s daily life, making him try a normal life.
-After a few minutes-
Suddenly, he felt something moving between his stomach. What is it? He tried touching the thing, but his arm wouldn\'t move.
Wait, what is happening to me? After thinking of a few possibilities and convincing himself of his changed reality, Desmond finally concluded… this can\'t be right.
He tried remembering the theory of reincarnation, which he had been reading, and finally, he realized it was the same as the story. He had been reincarnated in another world.
But how come a person like me has a chance to reincarnate?
He tried moving some parts of his body like his foot, hand and mouth, but they refused to comply with his wishes.
If my estimate is right, then I need to wait nine months. For such a long time, maybe there is a system too, like in the novels.
"System, are you there?"
[....]
Haha, that sounds ridiculous.
But a system interface suddenly popped up like a 3D hologram. Many texts started appearing, blocking his view. The system interface also glowed in the dark, making it a magnificent view.
[Launching the AI Program…. ]
[AI Activated! ]
[AI Name Changed to -> System]
[System is Running…]
[Access Given to Host \'Desmond\'..]
"...." Desmond, speechless, did the god fulfill his wish in an instant?
System.
[DING!!]
[Incorrect command, please use \'help\' to see command list\']
Help.
[DING!!]
[Command-List:
-Status
-Map
-Task List]
Tch, the sound is annoying.
System, Remove the notification bell.

[Saving to Database …]
[Data Saved!]
Hmm, that sounds better.
What I have here is a status, a map, and a task list.
That\'s enough to survive, even if it\'s not OP like in the novels; at least I can see my status and a map in this system. I guess the extension of the system only supports my adoption in the new world.
Hmm, let\'s check my status first.
Suddenly, an interface came out with his name on it; hanging there were varied other information about him.
[-Status-
Name: Desmond
Gender: Male
Age: ???
Race: Human
Trait: Selfish]
I guess this system must judge the trait from a person\'s past life and selfish fits me well. I mean, every human will become selfish at the right time.
The time will come when there will be a bigger benefit to obtain, so why not do it from the beginning? You reap the biggest benefit if you start first.
...
The status function works well enough, so let\'s check the maps. An interface popped up, replacing the old mini-map. On the map, Desmond saw himself surrounded by darkness. In the center was a blue dot marked on the map, showing his location.
This system is so similar to the last video game I played, there is nothing new for me, except right now, I have become one of its players.
This feels like playing a game using VR; I can sense my stomach is connected to a tube and sense the warmth on my body.
Let\'s check the last one.
[Task Progress: 0
Task Slot: 1]
The interface is so plain, but this function is the most useful.
Does the system check how long I must spend to be born?

Not bad, the task progress is quite fast too.
[-Status-
Name: Desmond
Gender: Male
Age : ??? -> 1 Month
Race: Human
Trait: Selfish
Conclusion: Wait for eight months to be born.]
[Status Updated!]
Good news for me, I only need eight months to be born.
And the bad news.
I\'m staying inside this with nothing else but a system.
[System Suggestion: Start meditation to gather the unique energy around you, it will improve your body condition and mind, and it will become useful in the future. Gather as much energy as you can.]
It sounds nice to have a calm mind but for unique energy?
[System Conclusion: Based on host memories, unique energy is like \'ki\' in Japanese and \'Qi\' in Chinese, which is part of all living things as a kind of "life force" or "spiritual force"]
So it\'s almost the same as mana used to cast spells in the game. At least I\'m doing something better than nothing.
Then he tried to start meditating; he could feel the energy around him beginning to gather and come to his body. While gathering energy, he could hear a system notification over time.
[Unique Energy + 0.001]
[Unique Energy + 0.001]
[Unique Energy + 0.001]
[Unique Energy + 0.001]
[Unique Energy + 0.001]
Ah, this feeling is so nice.
Every time I absorb the energy, I can feel a kind of warmth spreading in my body.

After a long time, he stopped meditating.
System check… how long have I been meditating?

[Status Updated!]
So far, so good, the number keeps on increasing.
My mind has become clearer, and I feel I have much more power than before, but I don\'t know the average power of the world that I\'ll visit .
System, what kind of a world will I be born into?
[System Conclusion: From an unknown resource, the Host will reincarnate to the Saint World, where magic exists, and swordsmen can destroy a boulder of rock with his bare hand. Also, in this world, humans mature comparatively faster than the Host\'s world.
An example:
When a normal baby reaches three years old, they start to talk about random things, but in this world, an average three-year-old child will act like a six-year-old child. Here, they have developed more emotionally and been talking. Simultaneously, the six-year-old child will act like a nine-year-old child, and so on.
Not only their behavior, but their height, face, and other things also matured. The Host may see a 10-year-old child, but their face looks like a young man or lady with a trained body. Basically, the things that made sense in this world are very different from the old world.
The Host will be considered an adult when he reaches 15 years in this world, and also once the child reaches age 15, abnormal growth will be stopped.]
Ah, a magical world and also superhuman power. This is like a story in some novels that I used to read.
Also, the maturity thing doesn\'t make any sense, maybe because of magic, humans matured faster.
One thing I know from reading a bunch of fantasy novels is the weak are meat, and the strong do eat.
Even in modern society, the Tycoons and Gangsters always suppress the commoners; only when you have the power can you control your freedom.
I\'m sure every world will use this jungle rule except a world where gambling is used to decide your life; it would be strange if such a world exists, though maybe sometime, I will go to that world.
...
After rambling on about the many theories, Desmond finally calmed down
Saint World, what kind of surprise is waiting for me there?
He then began meditating again.
=====================================================
*A/N
In short, so basically because of some reason that I cannot explain( I mean that it contains a huge spoiler), magic only affected the growth in the children.
When compared to our world, a person can be considered young adult from 17- 25 years, but in this world it should be 10-18 years.. Basically a legal age for women to married is 12.
