The System
The window of the system began to overlap and assimilate with the operating system of the laptop.
Anybody else who looked at the screen of his laptop would only see that he was reading news stories or playing games.
Taka was the only one who could see the system superimposed on the laptop screen.
Opening the system Taka realised it looked very similar to statue windows from video games except with a few bits and dabs added here and there.
The status was as shown:

Despite most of the status window been unavailable due to his low-level, Taka gained a greater understanding of the system. He now knew that even though the system was almost game-like, there were limitations. It didn't make him invincible, well at least in the beginning (Muahahahahaha).
As time passed his skills would obviously improve in addition to the fact he would probably gain more along the way.
His stats would also rise given enough time and depending on how he invested his free attribute points in the near future.
-
Still viewing his system status Taka's eyes glanced over at his attribute window. Pondering for a while he decided to ask the system what the numbers in the attribute window actually stood for or more importantly the significance of them.
-
Taka: Hey system? You there?
A moment passed before the system answered back.
System: Yes host. What can I be of help with?
Taka: Please explain to me the significance of the numbers in the attribute window?
System: The numbers represent a numerical conversion of your biological abilities.
Taka: Understood.
-
Completely understanding what the system had said, Taka thought for a moment.
Taka: System?
System: Yes host?
Taka: What is the average numerical value of the biological abilities of a strong healthy male?
System: Host, a strong healthy male's average numerical value is 10 in each category.
-
Thinking again he continued.
-
Taka: Please give me examples of base values, so I can compare them to my own?
System: As you request host.
[10 = Normal for a strong adult male]
[50 = Genius]
[100 = Super Genius]
[200 = Beyond human]
[300 = As yet unnamed until host comes across one such individual]
-
Taka: Thanks system.
System: . . . . . ?
Taka just imagines the system nodding.
-
Comparing his own values to the ones the system had presented, a smile couldn't help but surface on his face. Being only 10 years old yet having values that exceeded those of average adult males, it was mind-blowing, to say the least.
-
Especially his intelligence attribute. Compared to normal people he was basically a monster.
Mind wondering, flashbacks of his previous life appeared in his mind, not wishing to remember the tragic days that passed, he snapped himself back to reality.
Smelling the breakfast his sister had made he decided to close the system window and continue to inspect it after he had eaten.
