Scream. Loudly. Try, also to form English words. Try to ascertain whether or not the language your “parents” speak is English. If you can speak
English, every time you see the face of one of your parents, say: “idiot” or “stupid” Finally, search yourself for latent magical power. We need to be a wizard
Baby.
Edit: start trying to exercise control Over your limbs. Once you have decent control, start performing exercises. We must get to the autonomous stage as fast as possible.
My job here is to turn us into the creepiest baby possible.
I can scream and cry but it is less creepy baby crying and more normal baby crying. The only thing I'll be disturbing is sleep.
The language my parents are speaking is distinctively
not English. Trying to speak in any language just leads to more baby noises. So does magic come to think of it. I can do baby exercise at least. At least until I get tired.
If we are still inside the mom you should eat her innards as that is how babies are born on that planet you find yourself on.
I am fortunate enough to not be inside my "mom" and to have no memory of such a time. Which does mean I have no idea if I ate her innards or not, but if I did she recovered remarkably quickly.
Be baby
Rich mom and dad with big tits.
Mom has big tits and Dad is rich? 
EDIT: Sorry, that was very sexist of me. Mom can be rich instead of Dad.
Years have passed by from my perspective. I can finally see and have more-or-less grasped the language as a toddler.
As it turns out, my parents are indeed the richest people in the colony! Most of the people here came from poor backgrounds hoping for a better life outside the kingdoms. My parents are unique in that they where nobility back in the kingdom, and managed to take some of their wealth out to the colony with them. And their phenomenal magic powers. That has certainly been useful. As their only child the entire colony has high hopes for me.
I've been living in their manor house. My family has an estate that feels like a fortress. It is a large plantation with a wooden palisade surrounding it, reinforced with mud and monster parts. We have some fields and cattle, with a few workers who do most of the farm chores. They all live in the house with us in their own rooms. There is some fancy designs in the manor but everything else is rather spartan and simple.
Oh right, the "Cattle" is a type of giant goat. They use them to pull carts, for milk, and for meat. Their pupils are rectangles. They kind of scare me despite the fact I'm technically a grown man. One bleated at me and I cried. I blame this toddler body.
Technology level is...I think medieval for most things. It is kinda hard to tell. Trade is very difficult due to all the monsters roaming the land so most things are made locally. Apparently there are noble houses back in the kingdoms that do nothing but move goods between the various nations, but even then there isn't much trade going on. Out here on the frontier it is really really rare for traders to come around. They don't have a lot of metal as a result. Most things we'd make with metal (like weapons and tools) are instead made with monster parts. A lot of things are made with monster parts actually. They're just kind of everywhere. I'm wearing a monster part outfit right now. Most people end up bartering, but money from the kingdoms is still accepted by some people. They're all made of precious metals so they have value just for their construction.
Oh right, you guys are really into
magic. I've been asking about it a lot during my "why phase" and everyone around me has been willing to comply. They say magic is something that comes from the ground. The density of magic in an area changes from place to place. They call it the "fertility" of the area. Magically fertile areas tend to increase the properties of whatever is grown on there. Trees are stronger, medicine is more powerful, flowers smell better, food is more nutritious...that last one is really important because it applies to monsters too.
You see when you eat something, you gain the magic that was inside it. This magic then becomes part of your body. For monsters they seem to have evolved to integrate them into their bodies. A monster in a more fertile area will be stronger, faster, have a tougher hide, and be all around stronger in whatever they're good at then a monster in a less fertile area. As a result the monsters are
incredibly territorial and will attack any human or other monsters who try to enter it. This is why everywhere is so dangerous. Monsters can also sense magically fertile areas and will try to encroach if they think they can get away with it. So we have to keep a constant eye out for monster attacks. Luckily this also means their parts are more useful. A good monster pelt can be stronger than steel armor, so I'm told. Since this is cumulative monsters who lived longer also tend to be stronger.
But that doesn't mean non-magically fertile areas are completely useless. Humans came up with a concept that I'll translate to "Alchemy". This basically leaches all the magic out of a material into water, then from that water into another material. This means you can pool a lot of low-magic items into one much bigger magic item. We usually use it with monster parts we can't use and don't want to eat. I'm told that Alchemy is one of the reasons that the Kingdoms centralize power in the nobility, a significant portion of a nation's resources going into a dozen or so artifacts every year makes for some insane power over centuries. My mother's amulet is one such artifact. I'm not allowed to touch it.
Now for the
magic magic. Like I said in monsters the magic goes to the body, but in humans (and presumably other thinking creatures) it goes directly into the brain. This lets humans construct spells with traditional magic effects. They...haven't really taught me any of this yet but I get to watch sometimes. Everyone just kinda explains it to me like I'm a toddler (because I am), I think it is one of those things where explaining gravity is easy but actually doing things with it takes a lot of hard work and math. Anyway everyone here uses magic for religious purposes. When a human uses magic it lowers the amount of magic in their bodies, so we tend to not use it for trivial things like normal transportation or farming. Most people do use it for work though. Around here most families tend to have their own magic. One logger I saw cut down a tree by making his body really strong and his axe really sharp, while another cut down a separate tree with an inexplicably sharp gust of wind. I'm not sure if that is a difference in how they where taught or what. There aren't any incantations, but they do occasionally have some hand work. I'm not sure if that is actually necessary or if it is just habit. This is the second reason why magic was centered in the nobility in the Kingdoms, someone with a high-magic diet will be much stronger at casting magic than a peasant with a low-magic diet. So it is there. I just have no idea how to do it.
Otherwise I've gotten to see a little of the world. The town has a wall around it with with guards and the road to the town has a fence. All roads are dirt roads, but my parent's wagon is remarkably smooth riding. You can see the church for miles around. It is a really, really tall building. A priest sits in the top of a bell-tower and rings the bell like crazy if he sees a monster. Or a fire. Or raiders. But mostly for monsters. The number of rings is supposed to tell you where the attack is coming from. I usually get locked up when they start ringing because toddler. Other than the church the town has a few residential houses, some businesses, and other town things. There arn't a lot of people in it. It is purposefully built in a low magic fertility area to keep the monsters from attacking it, but since the surrounding farms and plantations want to have as high magic fertility as they can manage most people live out of town. I don't get to see much of it since I'm either at church or stuck in the wagon.
Last thing I've noticed is that there are other races. Like not-humans. Our colony has had some problems with Elves lately. We had a funeral for a man who was said to be killed by them. Most people are confused by this. This world has very little warfare, due to the distance and logistical difficulties of getting armies to other kingdoms without getting everyone slaughtered by monsters. Most fighting has been internal, or between the merchant nobility I mentioned earlier. Occasionally those merchants would become powerful enough to defeat a kingdom and take one over, but that was incredibly rare from what I picked up. Foreigners going out of there way to cross monster-covered land just to kill you seems like insanity to most people in the colony. There are a couple of non-humans in the colony, but I don't talk to them much outside of church.
And I'm keeping the tits thing a secret from you guys. I'll leave it to your imagination.
