Rinaye still didn't quite understand what the hell was going on. So she decided to just go with whatever happened.

  She could already tell that the place she was in was fancy. It looked like some billionaire who was obsessed with Victorian style furniture had full control over the room. Everything was made with what looked like high quality materials and meticulously designed to look fabulous. It was rather barren compared to the room her "character" was born in. That entire room was gilded in gold and other precious metals. Despite that, Rinaye was positive she would be treated well in such a nice house. The three women that took care of her might be loud but were actually very kind and the blankets she was wrapped in were very soft and comfortable. The formula she drank every 2 hours or so was always warm, and the women, though eccentric, were very gentle with their hands. She was bored but well taken care of, and that was probably the best thing she could hope for in her situation.

  As time passed, it became more and more clear that Rinaye was here for good. She felt pain (normally illegal in full dive gaming), she could satiate both hunger and thirst (normally impossible), there wasn't even a hint of a user interface (which is kinda necessary for gameplay). There was no way this was a game. So she focused on the one thing she do, speed-run childhood. She was a baby, she couldn't do shit in her position. She couldn't sit up, or even use her fingers. She thought that if she focused on developing motor skills as fast as possible she would be able to do whatever she needed.

  Rinaye continued to practice her motor skills everyday and night while she was awake to do so, unsurprisingly an infant's body requires a lot of sleep so most of her time was experiencing weird dreams that more more similar to acid trips than dreams.

  Three weeks had passed until Rinaye could successfully lift and turn her head while laying down on her back. She could also clench and unclench her fists in this amount of time too. Still not enough progress to start living her life though. She spent months upon months to even start to reach the point where she should sit up on her own.

  The only entertainment she had throughout this time was the soap opera that was her three caretakers interactions.

  She had already named it the . It was very funny. It involved drama, verbal fights, and Yeah after a while, it was pretty easy to tell that Nina and Sabrina had a love hate relationship and Rinaye was LOVING it. The innocent and wholesome Nina and the coldhearted, tsundere that was Sabrina were perfect for each other. Rinaye was getting withdrawals from cheesy romance novels and this was the only way to fill that gaping hole in her heart. It was getting serious too. Nina was blushing whenever she was alone with Sabrina and Sabrina kept showing her true feelings when she was alone in the nursery. You know, the standard gay freak out when you finally have time to process what your crush said when they leave the room. This was true entertainment.

  These situations continued to occur until Rinaye finally had spent one year in this new world which aligned with Rinaye's capabilities to fully walk on her own.

  It was at this time that Rinaye could properly produce some sounds as well. She had learned to say each of her caretaker's names as well as more normal words like, up, or no.

  She was allowed on the floor of the nursery for a while now and could eat solid food since about 6 months ago. Life was good. Rinaye still had pretty much no idea about the world outside that little nursery. She only knew the basics. The name of the country, Escya, The name of the house she lived in, the Theomor Estate, her father's last name, Theomor. This basically meant she was some child of a rich guy who didn't care about her, made evident that she wasn't visited by the guy even once. She figured out that her mom did in fact die the day she was born, and she had two half-brothers on her dad's side. Not very helpful if they never visit. Even so, useful information nonetheless. She also learned that the country was ruled by a very capable queen. Apparently there was a long story of how that came to be, but no one told her because she was a literal child.

  One day her caretakers had the idea to take Rinaye out into the garden outside the nursery. Rinaye was stoked. This would be her first every time outside in this world, ever! Of course she was excited.

  It started out wonderfully. The garden had the most beautiful flowers Rinaye had ever seen. The sky was the most beautiful blue she had ever seen and the garden bordered a lush green forest that she wasn't allowed to go in but it looked cool.

  Rinaye was wandering around the garden when she heard a voice behind her.

  "Who's this little brat?"
