19 Broken Skills (1/2)
After the whole incident with the other vampire child, I had three new friends and three friends that were starved for friendship as I was. Especially, since we all seemed to grow up under the thumb of our respective parents.
Not that it was a bad thing to grow up that way, but our parents are too overprotective in that department. I mean in their defense I was only five.
What a pain…
Rolling my shoulders, I walk down the hall with Herma in tow. She had a foxish grin on her face as she follows behind me. She was probably the most excited, outside of myself, about my newfound friends.
She started to call our get-togethers, 'play dates', I can't help but cringe at that saying. It was her favorite saying now, she was always asking when I was getting together with my friends for a 'play date.'
I'd have to get her to stop calling it that.
”Miss, when are your friends coming over?” Herma asks me as I take a turn into the library.
We have a vast library; books were somewhat expensive in this day and age. However, there was a public library as well. Which allowed those without an absorbent amount of wealth to have a chance to read and learn.
However, it was normal for a rich household to have a private library.
This was great for me, I had some things that I wanted to brush up on and learn about. There are too many gods and goddesses' that are interested in me at the moment. I didn't want to be pushed around by them; I hadn't been reborn to become a pushover.
”They'll be over soon enough, for now, I plan to wait for them in here. Just have the butler bring them to the library when they arrive,” I tell her.
She bows her head and turns to another maid that's behind her and tells her something. Without wasting a breath, the other maid heads off and now it's just Herma and me within the library.
Standing before the vast wealth of knowledge, I quickly realize that I have no idea where to start!
”Herma, can you bring me books that have information concerning the Goddess of War, and the Goddess of Death, also the God of Life? Then I'd also like some books that explain some the basics of each race,” I say.
Her whole face lights up at my request. Without even breaking a step, she takes a slight bow and then quickly head off into the library. Her skirt making a soft swishing sound as she leaves.
She really does love when I ask her for help. Since I'm a well-off young miss of a big family, I suppose, I don't really act like one. But that was probably just because of my past life, I didn't have someone waiting for hand and foot on me.
I couldn't help but chuckle, I'd be so screwed if this was the reverse, and I'd reincarnated into my past life from this life. I'd indeed miss these luxuries.
Pulling at the chair that was tucked under the table, I climb into the seat and sit. I might as well do something productive with my time now that Herma's off gathering my books.
”Life Page”
「Life Page Open! 」
Then once again, the simple screen appears in front of my face. I didn't have a lot of time to look at this in the past couple of days. My mother and father had been busy giving me a lesson about other things.
On top of that, I was also hanging out with my friends a lot. But now that I had a moment of peace, I think it was time that I look over everything carefully.
「Name: Hollis Grey Astley

Most things are the same, like my level and my titles. But I didn't have a chance to take a glance at the blessings.
Let just start at the top and work our way down.
Raising my right hand, I tap on the title of 'Reincarnated Person' and a text box appeared in front of my page.
Well, it really looks like this was flavor text.
「Welcome! You've been reincarnated into our world. Because of that, you've been gifted the title. This title increases the amount of experience that you gain, it automatically doubles all the experience that you get, and also increases the base level of your stats by almost double! 」
I felt my lip twitch slightly, I could almost laugh. They're giving me cheats right off the back it would seem. Don't tell me that I was destined to become one of those cheat-like characters that I'd read about.
However, on the bright side, this meant that I would be able to quickly raise my level. I'd get a leg up in terms of level and that meant that I would also be stronger. My mother was level one hundred and three, I could probably reach that with some speed. Honestly, probably with some abnormal speed if I concentrated.
Waving a hand over the textbook it vanished and I reach out and tap my other title 'Trainee War Empress.'
I felt bitter just looking at it, like last time a text box appears.
「Information about this title has been sealed until you've reached level twenty-five」
