Warm. Soft. Way too cozy.
I opened my eyes. Blinking against the bright, shiny ceiling above me… and froze.
Wait.
Why is everything so enormous?
And why does my body feel… like a squishy, floppy potato?
Oh no. No no no.
I… am a baby.
Yes. I, Sasha lama in my past life, 21 years old, obsessed with manga, suddenly trapped in a five-month-old-baby body. Fabulous. Just fabulous.
Before I could even scream in my tiny way, a glowing figure appeared. Light, sparkling, ridiculous hair floating like a cosmic shampoo commercial…
God Sofia.
She smiled gently, radiating power so strong it made me want to curl into my blanket.
"Ah… you're awake," she said. Her voice was soft but somehow commanding every corner of my tiny brain.
I tried to squeak in protest: "B-bwaa—!!"
Yeah. Very convincing.
"You may be small," Sofia continued, "but your soul is not. You have been reborn here, in this world, and I have chosen you for a mission."
Mission? My tiny baby brain spun.
"…Mission?!" I squeaked mentally. "I… I can't even lift my head! What is happening?!"
"You have the power of light," she said, floating closer. "You are the only one who can prevent your beloved from being consumed by the darkness that flows in his bloodline. This power is rare. Only a few in this empire ever possess such ability."
I blinked. My tiny fists flailed helplessly.
"I… I… WHAT?!"
"You will grow," Sofia continued, her cosmic grin teasing. "You will remember your past life, and you will learn. Your path is difficult, but your heart is strong."
Past life. Memories flickered like a broken projection.
Sasha Lama, modern India, 21 years old.
Obsessive manga fan,homebody and unemployed...
IanvaleriusD'Raven… the quiet, genuine, tragic second male lead I always loved.
The Saint, seraphinaElyndra,the female protagonist with her three love interests.
Crown Prince AldricVaelion and Knight Captain Kael Ardent.
The ending… Ian's heartbreak, his curse, his silent love and his tragic death…
I tried to speak. Tiny baby voice:
"Guu… bwah?!"
Translation: Are you serious right now?!
Sofia chuckled. "Do not worry, little one. You do not need to act now. You are small, but clever. One day, the time will come. Then, you will use this light to save him."
I flailed my tiny arms in frustration.
"This is… insane. I'm a baby! I can barely roll over! How am I supposed to save anyone?!"
"You will learn," Sofia said, like she was telling a bedtime story. "For now… rest. Observe. Grow."
I groaned, tiny flailing limbs kicking the air.
"Rest?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!"
Outside my crib, my parents, Count Rohan geoner and countess melissa geoner, peeked in.
"Oh, our little princess is awake," my mother cooed.
Tiny glare activated. Internally, I shouted:
Princess ? I'm a reincarnated adult with memories of my past life stuck in a helpless baby body. AND GOD SOFIA JUST DROPPED A LIFE-OR-DEATH MISSION ON ME?!
And so… my chaotic, shocking, slightly terrifying second life began.
Mission: Prevent Ian from falling into darkness
Power: Light, rare in the empire
Current prpblem: I'm a helpless, tiny, screaming baby
Perfect. Just perfect.
