I am a traveler.
In birth, I had struggles, but shifted a tad to become a double saint,
Based, to be honest, on what I could do with a bit of paint.
I'm proud to say that I became unbeatable there,
although I had to drop one loss because of some wear.
My next stop was ...

I've spent only a few minutes on it; I didn't get anywhere much but was surprised not to and it doesn't feel as if it should require hints. (E.g., if I had say a couple of hours to work on it and nothing else to do in that time, I would be surprised if I couldn't solve most of it, and that's not because I think I'm extraordinarily good at solving such puzzles.)
Okay. Since it has been about a day since it was posted, I though adding a hint would help decipher it fast, because one of the hints I've thought would lead to two of the languages.
If you're in a hurry to see it done, then of course you can post hints -- but if you want to maximize solvers' enjoyment then I'd hold off. (I could of course be all wrong.)

What is he counting??

My younger sister wanted to play a game with me.
She: You have to say a random word, and I'll tell you a number related to it. In the end, I'll ask you a question, whose answer will
open a secret vault. You ready?
Me: Well yeah of course! Should I start?
She: Yup. Say a word.

This italicized text is not a part of the puzzle. I will add additional lines if the puzzle goes unsolved. Good luck!
The cave has me, the wind hasn't
The stories, the pirates, the demons, the lands...
All nothing if it isn't me
The masterworks of science revolve 'bout me
