9 Baby's Sleep

'What is this elemental energy, system?'

Elemental energy was the only term that Aiden didn't understand in the description o the sill.

< Sorry host, I can't tell you that. You will have to find that information yourself since I am not something that will spoon-feed you everything. > The system replied emotionlessly and butchered Aiden's expectations of getting everything easily.

'Then what are the things that you can tell me about yourself and my skills?' Aiden hoped to learn as much as he could about the system so that he wouldn't face many problems in the future.

< The system is like a leveling system you might find in video games. Have you ever played a video game host? > The system asked as he nodded.

Seeing how his life had been, it would have been impossible for him to play video games and watch anime but still, he had been able to do both. But that was only for a few months but it was enough for him.

< Then as a character levels up in games by doing various things, you can also level up in the same way. As for your skills, you require skills points to unlock and upgrade skills. Though you can get certain skills for free. > The system explained as Aiden was interested in it.

'How can I check my stats and stuff?' He sounded a little excited but the system's response made his excitement die down.

< You cannot check your status currently host. The only things you can see are the level screen and quest screen. The host only needs to think about either one of the options to see it. And after leveling up, you can see your status.> The system's words didn't make Aiden depressed.

After all, there was still hope since he could level up and unlock more things.

'Level screen!' Aiden thought as the screen in front of him changed.

[ Level: 1

Exp: 0 / 100 ]

'This means that I will level up after gaining the specified exp.' Having played many such games, Aiden knew about this.

< Yes host, you will level up after gaining the specified exp. You can unlock your status screen after becoming level three. You can check the quests page and it will help the host gain more exp. > The system suggested as Aiden nodded.

'Quest screen.' Aiden thought as the screen changed once again.

[ Daily quests available: 1 ]

'I only have daily quests?' Aiden felt confused while looking at the quest screen.

< You can unlock further quests later on. But currently, you only have daily quests host. > The system replied as Aiden nodded.

'How do I check the daily quest?' He then asked.

< Think 'daily quest screen' and it will open host.>

Aiden did what the system instructed him to do as a new screen appeared before his eyes.

[ Available Daily Quests: 1

Quest Name: Baby's Sleep

Currently Ongoing quest: None ]

<Think about the quest name to get details on host.>

The screen changed once again and now showed the details of the quest.

[ Quest Name: Baby's Sleep

Description: A growing baby at least requires 12 hours a day of sleep to grow properly or else it might hinder his or her growth.

Objective: Obtain more than 12 hours of sleep.

Time limit: 24 hours (Will start when the quest is accepted)

Reward: 2 Exp ]

[ Accept Quest? ]

Aiden read the contents of the quest and it looked pretty easy to him. Since he was a baby, all he needed to do was eat and sleep. So for him, this quest was as easy as watching the entire Naruto in two weeks.

'Yes, I accept the quest.' Aiden thought as the screen changed back to the previous one but it had some changes this time.

[ Available Daily Quest: None

Currently Ongoing Quest: 1

Quest Name: Baby's Sleep ]

'So I guess goodnight for now system.' Aiden started yawning a little and his eyes slowly started to close.

< Goodnight host. > The system said one last time as Aiden's eyes closed and he fell asleep.

Time slowly passed as Aiden kept sleeping but a sudden sound woke him up. It was a system notification that woke him up.

Ding!

[ Quest: Baby's sleep has been completed.

Reward: 2 Exp

Current Exp: 2 / 100

The next daily quest will be available in twelve hours. ]

Aiden sighed as he stared at the screen. If he gained 2 exp in a day, it would take him 49 more days to become level 2, and depending on how much exp he needed to get to level 3, he would be bored for quite a while.

Being a baby with a developed brain and consciousness was a really boring thing since you were basically stuck around with nothing to do. But as Aiden was thinking about this, he heard some footsteps behind him.

A few moments later, his mother's face came into view as he saw that she had another bottle of her blood for him.

< This is a good time to use your skill host. Just think about the name of the skill and then about the liquid you want to change that blood into and the skill will activate. > The system explained but Aiden had no time to reply since his mother and already put the bottle inside his mouth.

'Liquid Changer. Change liquid to milk.' Aiden thought as a screen appeared in front of him.

[ Skill: Liquid Changer has been used.

5 Elemental Energy has been deducted. ]

Aiden felt milk enter his mouth as he happily drank every single drop of it. After finishing the bottle, Aiden started feeling sleepy.

Being a baby, he required many hours of sleep and proper nutrition to grow up. And he was clearly getting them.

< You are drinking the best quality of milk that was available on Earth host. > The system also confirmed his thoughts.

His mother took the bottle out of his mouth and walked away with a smile.

Having nothing else to do, Aiden closed his eyes and fell asleep.
