Louigi's mind was overwhelmed as he felt himself being pushed forward, his small body squeezed in ways that made him realize exactly what was happening,he was being born. It was an odd sensation, one that no normal person would ever remember experiencing, but here he was, fully conscious of every moment.
A final push, and suddenly, the warmth of the womb was gone. A sharp cry escaped his lips as he was hit with the harsh, unfamiliar air of the outside world.
"It's a boy!" a woman exclaimed.
Louigi tried to open his eyes, but they were weak. Everything was a blur of flickering light and movement. His body ached, and his lungs burned as he took his first breath of this new world. He could hear voices—his mother's, exhausted yet relieved, and others murmuring in the background.

Louigi almost wanted to laugh. Even as a newborn, he already had stats and titles. A learning speed buff? That's exactly what I need.
A strong, calloused hand lifted him from the midwife's grasp. He felt himself being cradled by a man, his voice deep and commanding. "My son... He will grow strong. I shall name him Louigi Lakandula Nillos, heir to the great warriors of Tondo."
Tondo? The realization hit him. He was born into one of the most powerful kingdoms in pre-colonial Southeast Asia. A perfect foundation for his future empire.
As his mind adjusted to his new reality, he made a silent vow. I will not waste this life. I will rise from nothing and reshape history itself.
