1 The System and the Baby

Ben, our main character, is born into a family that loves him and cares about him. His mother unfortunately didn't survive the childbirth, but his father provided the love and affection enough for both parents. Ben was a special because he developed mentally faster than anyone should be able to. When Ben was one month old he gained a certain amount of sentience where he could understand the world around him.

At two months he was able to understand speech and if it wasn't for his vocal cords not being fully developed he would have been able to speak but he realized that no other child that his father brought him to meet could communicate even though they were months to a year older then him.

At three months his system started to make itself known in his self-conscious it would speak to him and teach him about the world around him. His understanding of the world he was in grew to such massive heights because of his one-to-one sessions with his system.

The system, which told Ben to call him BOS, was an upgrading system that upgraded with its user. When his user went up in his mage level or warrior level then he himself grew. BOS himself didn't know his exact origins but he knew with the power increase of his user he would learn about himself and his abilities.

The duo decided to take the inconspicuous approach and hide their intelligence until it was needed. So the seasons changed and the easy life of Ben Moore continued.

-------------------------

Several years later to when Ben was 5 years old

Ben was playing with the other kids his age when his father and other adults from the village brought all the children together. The group when to the village center where a large crystal orb was placed. It was there to measure the amount of magical force or mana the children had. This system was set up for the kingdom to increase the amount of mages that it had.

Ben thought of a problem right away because his system unknowingly or some other gift gave him a boost in mana. He learned this when out in the garden his father kept to remind him of his wife, Ben accidentally let out a burst of mana when he was stabbed by a thorn near the rosebushes.

When Ben thought of this BOS was trying to find a solution to the problem when he stumbled upon an unknown ability he had. BOS told Ben to try to think of his strength or any other attribute that could think of and then a clear screen in front of him appeared. The screen showed the following:

Name: Ben Moore

Race: Human

Level: 1

Age: 5

HP: 105

MP:180

Strength: 6

Stamina: 7

Agility: 6

Intellect: 8

Charisma: 10

Base HP = 40

strength boost = +5HP/point

stamina boost = +5HP/point

Base MP = 100

Intelligence boost = +10MP/point

System knowledge: minimal

Known skills:???,???,???,???

With what the duo thought 10 was the base for a healthy adult male and anything below the person was either unhealthy, a child, or an elderly person. What they didn't know was what the ?s were about.

When it was Ben's turn to test his mana he timidly placed his hand on the orb and was scared of what would happen. What did happen was a robotic voice that neither of the two expected sounded.

-Would host like to conceal his mana and activate the BOS system restart?

-What was that BOS and what the heck is it talking about

-I don't know Ben I've never heard this

-Host would you like to conceal your mana? Y/N

-Yes to the concealing the mana part but what is the system restart on BOS about?

-The BOS system would restart with its current memory intact but it would increase the amount he knew. The BOS system would learn about one cheat that the gods allowed the host that had received a large amount of karma points for his good deeds in his previous life. The karma points have been transferred into a group of cheat-like options for the host to decide to have.

-Then yes to the restart, too.

-System restarting 1%... 16%... 28% ..... 42%..... 60%..... 80%..... 94% ..... 100% Congratulations host for restarting his system. The system has given the host 5 options for his cheat ability. Remember to karma points are not shown but they are recorded.

1. Immortal Body (within reason)- your body is nearly impenetrable and will reconstruct itself if any damage is done to anything other than the heart and brain.

2. Perfect Control- you have perfect control over the mana that you have and makes your mana practically limitless

3. Perfect Stealth- no one will ever find you if you don't want them too even the gods will have some trouble.

4. System Hack- information unknown and/or blocked from viewing ( pick this one for an unimaginably overpowered main character)

5. Dimensional Wanderer- allows you to cross worlds and universes at an unimaginable speed creating a time and dimensional distortion which is unpredictable
