To save a bit, this is what it will look like when the protagonist interacts with the system and his thoughts

Darkness. I know I was in a dark place before, but this felt like a different darkness if you could say so, so I tried to open my eyes and although it took me a while in the end I was able to open my eyes. 

The moment I opened my eyes I looked up, what I saw was that it was snowing and I was in a paper bag? Wait, snowing, paper bag?, that's when I remembered which episode "Three Gems and a Baby" was in. 

In the show Greg tells how he took care of Steven as a baby, Steven's gem starts to glow and as the Crystal Gems start talking about it, Greg becomes desperate to believe that something is wrong with Steven and doesn't know what it is. Greg goes out to get his truck, which the Gems stole while they took Steven. They begin to theorize about the intense glow emitted by their gem, but they can't find an answer. Pearl, who was driving the van, stops her and goes to the back along with the other gems and Steven. He thinks the solution is to rip Steven's gem out, but when he's about to do so, he stops. Understanding that Rose and Steven are two different people, they open the back door of the van and encounter Greg, who is being chased by a dog. The Gems then explain what they thought about Steven and decide to take care of him together, in order to better understand baby Steven.

Well, moving on to other things, if I'm in the paper bag and Greg is taking me, we must be about to get to Vidalia's house, the mother of Sour Cream and Onions, well it's time to start. 

(System!)

To which a hot pink box appeared with light pink letters floating in front of my face with the word "Starting", as I loaded a blue bar that said "10%... 25%... 50%... 75... 99%... 100%". 

A robotic voice from a girl echoed in my head [Welcome Host to the System, the System will grant you a great experience throughout your life] 

[Want to start the tutorial? Yes/No] 

(Yes) 

[Starting tutorial... First, let's start with your State, say "State"] 

("State")

[Name, is an identifier used to represent a player in the "game".]

[Age, is how long you have been living in this "Game".]

[Race, different variations of the host that will have peculiarities and visibly different impact within the story.]

[States, host's current condition on a temporary basis this can be both a Advantage and a Disadvantage; for example: Strength I, multiply your strength by x2, but if you have Fatigue I, your recovery rate takes longer to recover.] 

[Description, this is the host's backstory.] 

As I finished explaining the Greg (now my Dad) System, he walked into Vidalia's house and noticed that instead of carrying the Baby (now me), there was a loaf of bread and I was in the paper bag as I poked my head out. Then he started to prepare my milk, while that was happening the System kept talking to me. 

[Now let's move on to the "Skills" window, say "Skills" to review them.] ("Skills") 

["Player's Mind" (Passive: those effects that are applied as part of a much larger action, automatically), allows the host to think things through calmly and logically. It allows for a peaceful state of mind, immune to psychological states and their effects. Level. Maximum] 

["Player Body" (Passive), grants the host a body that allows them to experience the real world as a video game. Level. Maximum]

(Looks like he's just my assistant, I told myself) 

["Rapid Learning" (Passive), increases the host's ability to acquire new skills and knowledge in a short period of time, this skill can be improved through practice and repetition. Level. Maximum]

["Musician" (Legacy), the host's ability to play musical instruments or create music. Level. 1 (You can learn to play any instrument)] 

After the System showed me my skills my Dad (Greg), after almost boiling my milk, comes out of the kitchen to go to the couch to sit down so I can drink it. 

[Now let's move on to the "Inventory", it serves as a warehouse for the host to keep all the useful things they find during their adventure has no storage limit.] 

[To open your "Inventory" you must say "Inventory"] 

("Inventory") 

In front of me materialized a large hot pink window with several light pink squares, (As far as I can see there is nothing in my "Inventory" although it was to be expected, I have not put anything and I doubted that God would give me anything more than He gave.) 

[Now let's move on to the "System Store", to open it you just have to say "Store"] ("Store") 

To which a hot pink window materialized, where there are 6 boxes of a low pink where it says: Sale of objects, Armor (Clothing), Weapons, Chests, Potions and Skills. 

[The "System Shop" is a place where the host can buy and sell items, weapons, clothing, and other items with in-game currency (The currency used is dollars, by the way, any other currency will be automatically converted into dollars). The store may also offer discounts and special offers on some items on certain days.] 

[Item Sale, here you can sell items, weapons, armor (clothing), and other items for in-game currency (Dolores).] 

[Armor (Clothing: for better comfort and not to arouse suspicion from others, armor has been replaced by clothing), is a type of defensive item that provides protection to the host against enemy attacks, some Armor (Clothing) has certain effects on environments, or simply improves some skills or stats.] 

[Weapons, any tool or instrument created for the purpose of attacking another being or defending against an attack, for better convenience weapons are automatically accommodated to the host's need.] 

[Potions, are concoctions that provide some kind of advantage or disadvantage to the host or some ally or enemy.] 

[Chests, containers containing random rewards, these chests can be purchased or acquired.]

[Skills, here the host can buy skills they don't have and upgrade the skills they already possess.」 

I understand, it's just like any video game. 

[Finally, let's move on to the "Missions" are tasks which have to be solved by the host, to get certain rewards or experience, depending on the mission granted it may have a time limit or not, also the penalties for failure will depend on that and there are also hidden missions that the host must discover. If you want to review the missions, you must say "Missions"] 

("Missions") 

To which a hot pink window appeared, with the word Low Pink Missions in large below the word is written: "No missions at the moment". 

(Well, that was a bit disappointing), but before I could think of anything else I heard a 'Ping' of those video game bells with the following message. 

[Congratulations, you've completed the Tutorial!] 

[Secret Mission "Complete the Tutorial" completed] [Rewards] [100 Experience Points] 

(Oh my, I completed a secret mission without realizing it, but maybe the mission was a bit obvious and I would have done it anyway if there was no reward.) 

[To get out of the System you just have to think about wanting to close the System]

After closing the "System", I finished drinking my milk, I realized that Dad was looking at Vidalia's family photo, in a sad and nostalgic way? I can understand it after all Mama (Rose/Pink Diamond) gave up her physical form to give life to me and therefore she is still mourning, but she has to be strong for her and for her son (i.e. me) because it is what she would have wanted. 

After I yawned I went to sleep, I'm still a baby and I don't have enough energy to be awake like I normally would. After finishing that train of thought I went to sleep.
