"Honey look! Isn't she adorable?"
"Yes she is darling! She looks just like you"
I opened my eyes. I saw a wooden ceiling and 2 pairs of eyes staring at me.
Pink eyes? That doesn't seem right...
Ugh...For some reason, I can't move my body? It seems so difficult. Ah, I'm so hungry.
Before I knew it, I started crying.
"Oh my! Looks like she's hungry. Mommy will feed you now, okay?"
I ended up being breastfed by the lady with the pink eyes. Well, I guess I can say that she's my mother.
I don't know how I feel about being breastfed at this age...
Speaking of which, how old am I again? Aren't I a baby?
Suddenly, I felt as if a needle stabbed through my brain. A bunch of memories flew in it.
Earth? Education? Work?
Then I died?
Where is this then? If I died then...... Shouldn't I be-?
I see, this must be the "reincarnation" that I've read about. I didn't think this would happen to me.
It seems as if I've reincarnated into a world that's not Earth. Humans on Earth did not have pink eyes unless they wore contacts. This lady in front of me doesn't look like she has enough to spare to buy pink contacts. The structure of this ceiling seem to be very old.
I got sleepy after being fed. So I closed my eyes. Before I slept, I heard the voice of my mother. She sang a lullaby.
"Good night, Rosanna"
Rosanna? I see, that seems to be my name. It's a great name.

It's been 2 years since that day I realized I reincarnated. I'm currently 2 years old.
Due to my past memories, I matured much faster than the kids of my age. After talking with the people around me in this village, I realized that the world I reincarnated in wasn't an ordinary world.
A power called "magic" exists. According to the old lady who owns a restaurant in this village, only those selected by God may have magic. The first symptoms of when one realizes they have magic is when they turn 4. Apparently, they will feel a sudden pain in their body and would have to rest for a few days for the magic in them to calm down.
There are also ranks in this world. Some people have more power than others. Only nobles possess magic powers. There are rare cases where commoners are suddenly granted magical powers by God. My parents are commoners therefore they don't possess any magic. I mostly likely will not have any either. I don't mind living a normal life as a commoner.
The old lady also told stories about when she witnessed a noble pulling up some sort of 3D rectangle. The noble said "system open" and a grey 3D box appeared in front of him. The old lady said that he was also able to store his sword inside this mysterious 3D rectangle. It was a very interesting story to hear.
I have a neighbor who has 2 children. Both of them are boys but one of them is currently attending school faraway from here. He is around 10 years older than me and has magic. Of course, he is also a commoner like me. The younger brother of him is a year older than me. I play with him quite often. His name is Austin, Austin Collins.
He is very pretty for a boy, not to be stereotypical. Many girls in this village are jealous of his long eyelashes and his white skin. I, as well, envy him for being born so beautifully. The is one thing strange about him though. His eyes. They are so beautiful. They are golden and they shine like the moon at night. I sometimes get entranced by his eyes. His parents don't have the same eye colour though. Maybe his grandma or grandpa?
My mom is around 8 months pregnant now. I can't wait to see my new sibling. I wonder if the baby is a boy or girl. Or whether the baby would inherit mom's eyes or dad's eyes. I have dad's deep blue eyes which don't really shine. It's kind of disappointing as mom's pink eyes are very bright.
I would describe myself as "averagely pretty". I am not gorgeous like the other girls in the village but I can barely pass as a decent looking girl.
"Rosie, come over here! Mommy needs help with something." Called my mom.
"Rosie" is a nickname everyone in this village calls me. They felt that the name Rosanna is a bit long and Rosie is easier to remember and pronounce. To be honest, it makes no sense.
I ran over to my mom after she called for me.
