Chương 2: NEW BEGINNING

I was born in a single-parent household with no siblings. From what I understood, my father died before I was born from a terminal illness. Mom knew he would die, and she named me after him: Jack Levins . Although we weren't rich, we had enough to live comfortably. My mother was the head nurse at San Fernando Hospital. She worked long hours, and the time we spent together was minimal. I was mostly cared for by babysitters, and I was content with that.

Two-Year Time Skip:

I started talking at eight months and walking at ten. According to my mother, I was considered a genius. I could have talked earlier, but I didn't want to raise suspicion or draw attention to myself. In my opinion, the less people knew about me, the more time I'd have to do everything I wanted. For the same reason, I acted like a baby. From that age, I started exercising in my own way. I would walk around, climb on things, and explore the trees in my backyard. I also avoided unhealthy foods like chips and sweets. As an adult in my previous life, I realized that not developing such bad habits was crucial for my health and physique.

I didn't have friends, and I wanted it to stay that way. I considered them distractions. I understood that no one is your true friend; everyone would stab you in the back if you weren't beneficial to them. So, I stayed away from people and didn't reveal anything about myself.

My mother also got me a dog, Max, as a gift for my birthday. It wasn't the best gift for a young child. I wouldn't be able to care for him, especially at such a young age. Considering their small life expectancy of about eight to ten years, I would have to learn the concept of death from my mother, or she would bury him and say that she let him go at the farm and he ran away. It would have been better to wait a couple of years and then get me a pet like a goldfish, so I wouldn't get too attached to it. Then, she could explain what happened to it, and eventually, everyone would pass away. Although I had to admit, I took a great liking to this dog. He was my only friend who wouldn't betray me.

I also started preschool, but I couldn't recognize any of the main characters, so I paid no attention to it. Preschool is basically a place where parents send their children while they go to work. It's also the start of the education system, where they teach young children to behave, obey, and socialize. Such a waste of time! It annoyed me to sit around and act like a two-year-old for hours. I also started gymnastics for pre-schoolers, which was an extracurricular activity that the school organized to keep children occupied until three, allowing parents to work. Except for me, no one had the physique to do such acrobatics, so for the first year, we would just run before developing our bodies for more advanced activities
