Neo was smarter then most, that of course due to the fact that he had lived 4 lives before and this was his 5th. Yet something was strange, he was too smart and agile. By comparison a genius would only achieve half of what he could, Neo could also perceive more then a normal human no less a baby.
Neo assumed this was his special power from the Buddha but wasn't entirely sure, Neo started understanding more vocabulary and finally after two months into his 5th reincarnation he spoke his first word, "Mom". A month later at three months old he started crawling.
Amanda was absolutely shocked, her child had already exceeded all expectations beginning to talk at two months old saying mom and even today crawling. It had taken her first daughter 7 months to say her name and her twin took 8 months either of them not even crawling until they were 1 years old. This was absolutely insane. After discussing it with her husband Dervan, they called Beithrich after all the nurse had a name related to light and as such a healer.
"So your telling me your son can crawl and speak at three months old?" Beithrich stared at the dumpling in Amanda's arms refusing to believe such inconceivable things. "Yes." Amanda said putting down Neo letting him crawl and even asking him to say the word "Beithrich." Neo quickly obliged saying "Beithrich" and crawled to the firepit in the house yet before he could his father caught him repeating "danger" before pointing at the fire. Neo nodded thinking ' Is it really that strange to be crawling at my age?' Little did Neo know that what he had done could only be considered as monstrous.
Beithrich was astounded. 'This could be the town's first chance to put itself on the map and send someone to a prestigious academy, the last one going from their town almost 50 years ago.' After all in all her years she had never seen a baby crawl at 3 months old. She decided to quickly do some check ups on the boy and seeing that he was all fine told his parents he was. She also decided to inform them that if possible once the boy was 2 or 3 years old and still as intelligent she would start teaching him to read and write if they allowed it. She was the only one in the entire town who could and as such they gratefully accepted.
The following months were quite boring involving mainly Neo crawling around, learning how to walk enjoying himself with his mothers breast's milk and being bored. Although he struggled at first due to every single life he had having activities all day everyday and other then his third struggling to actually survive while not being able to move he had never been this idle, never even leaving his house which by now he had mapped out and assumed to be a large - to mansion size with 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. Neo also noticed his sisters coming back from lessons drained and pale, hearing far off screams here and there. Something was definitely wrong with this world.
However Neo could do nothing about and as such wanted read books or at least some sort of fun activity to cure his boredom and forget his worries. Due to his genius he wanted and knew he would be able to advance as much as possible and decided that he would do nothing to hide his genius. He hoped that this would not affect his relationships with his parents or be burned as a bearer of a devil, he decided to risk it. Although he didn't want to die he still didn't hold much value to this particular reincarnation so far.
Luckily 7 months later he had not been burned alive or kicked out, instead being checked by Beithrich and after hearing how far the education of this world was he was ecstatic to learn that he would be able to read and write.
Now finally he was going to go out of his house with his parents and sisters, after all it was their Name Awakening Ceremony as he learned after some deducing. He deduced everyone had one at 5 years old as he never heard his parents call him or his sisters by names, him never even receiving one at birth which was odd. He also learned his sisters were twins even though they strangely were totally opposite, his one bubbly one loved him and loved spending time with him while the other seemed cold and indifferent yet behind the front he believed she was also affectionate and loving as when he spent time with her - although rarely. She had taken extremely good care of him.
10 months old and by now Neo could walk although stumbling here and there, being carried by his parents now and then he managed to arrive at the local church walking. The church which seemed quite dystopian with many names carved on the outside and large glittering windows when suddenly it started ringing loud bells. He assumed this was the sign for his family and other families around which all resembled medieval people to enter the building. He was right, his family and others walking inside.
