The morning sun rested in the sky as its rays shone upon William's face.
*Yawn*
William was currently resting on something soft when he suddenly panicked.
"Where am I? What is..."
_______________________
<System >
Good morning host.
_______________________
"I... So it was real..."
_______________________
<System >
There is a daily quest for the host to complete.
===
Drink milk. <Reward: 10 Exp>
_______________________
"I can't do that! It's immoral!"
Suddenly there was movement as William was raised by a pair of hands.
"Hmm, what's that now, are you hungry?" Lauren smiled
"No, no I'm not..." William blabbered but all Lauren could hear was baby noises.
*GROWL*
In the end, William's stomach betrayed him as it released a growl.
"Haha, you shouldn't let him wait. I'm off dear, I'll be back before nightfall." Morgan kissed his wife.
"Now you listen to your mother William, be a good boy." Morgan said as he left for work.
After a few minutes, William received another system notification.

Daily quest complete: Earned 10 Exp

William was now lying in his crib as the system gave him some more information.
"I seem to understand a bit more. This world is not advanced in electrical technology, instead, it uses magic, or in a way I should rather call it mana, it is currently the Yan dynasty. The continent is ruled by emperor Zhao Yan.
My father is an E-rank adventurer who uses a sword making him a swordsman, and my mother is an F-rank mage who has an affinity with the light and water element, which means that she is a healer and a water mage.
We live outside the city walls in a small cabin as it is the only land we can afford.
I was born yesterday so that means I will have to start from the bottom and build my way up as the years pass by."
The sun started to set as the cabin door opened.
"Lauren I'm home." Morgan smiled
"Welcome home sweetie, I made some stew, come and sit." She greeted him with a smooch.
It just so happened that William woke up, unfortunately, he seemed to have a surprise waiting for him as a horrid smell assaulted his nose.
"Oh dear... You eat first, I'll go and clean up William." Lauren smiled.
"Why would this happen to me? What have I done to deserve this." William felt wronged, he was on the verge of tears.
Lauren took him to clean up and fed him. After she was done, she put him to bed.
=========
"Come on, almost there. Let me eat!" William said excitedly.

"Vitality went up by 1, is it to do with me growing up?"

<System >
Yes, the host will have a natural increase in vitality until the age of 4. The same applies to the other stats. Stats can naturally be increased by training, studying, and eating or wearing certain treasures.

"Amazing, then I'll first save these points until I get older or need to use them. Speaking of which, I've been here nearly 2 months now. So far there hasn't been anything interesting, the language is different from what I know as well as the writing, thankfully mother and father read stories to me when I can't fall asleep."
*Yawn*
"Are you ready for bed William?" Lauren smiled sweetly.
With that said William slowly drifted off into his dreams.

"It's been a year now, I don't get breastfed anymore, so I have no way to gain experience for the time being, at least I reached level 2."

William smiled happily, this was a great day for him, it was a memory that he would cherish forever.

Time Flew by quickly, and before William knew it, he had already reached the age of 4.
It was currently night Time and William was sitting in a Room filled with storybooks when he got a notification from the system.

Sixth Sense: a Passive ability that allows the user to sense and create a mental image of anything within a certain range as if the user were right beside it. All senses are greatly improved. The range of the Sixth sense is a 3-meter radius. Though the host's perception is improved to a range of a 50-meter radius.
---
Analyze: The host will be able to identify and gain information about anything that is the same rank or lower as the skill's rank.
---
Veltite Dagger: A dagger made of Veltite, Veltite is an extremely durable metal normally used by elves as it is also very light and swift, many assassins prefer weapons made of Veltite.

"I have mana?"
_______________________
<System >
Yes, the host has unlocked mana as the host's spirit has completely formed its first spirit nucleus. Magic uses mana, magic, and skills are 2 different things as magic can be learned by anyone who has an affinity to any element, though, people without affinities can learn magic as well, the only difference is that it will be harder for them to progress smoothly.
Skills are things that are only useable by their owners, though, skills can be taught to others when their original owners have fully mastered them, but don't get your hopes up, skills can take decades to fully master and the transfer of skills can take quite a while. Skills will use your aura.
Each skill is different and has different demands on your aura, for instance, you have the skill 'sixth sense' which is a passive skill that can upgrade as you master it slowly, 'analyze' is a bit different, it uses aura to manipulate natures energy so that you can clearly understand the origin of things, which means it can be taxing if you want to analyze something complicated.
An example is if you want to analyze a leaf, it would be easy as its origins will instantly appear in your mind, but if you want to analyze a Pyramid it will take a long time to analyze every component that it is made of, you will most likely use up all your aura before you finish the analysis.
_______________________
"I see, how do I increase my Aura then, and how do I know what affinities I have for magic?"
_______________________
<System >
The host is already busy increasing his aura, the 'Sixth Sense' skill is a passive skill, so it is always active, this means that your aura is constantly being used, but it replenishes faster than its consumption, this helps to expand your aura and increase its strength. Simply put, the more you use Aura, the stronger it becomes, that is why skills can be mastered and upgraded.
The host currently doesn't have an affinity for any elements, but since the spirit nucleus of the host has finished forming, you may choose 1 affinity for free, more affinities can be bought but the price for each will be different, hence, you are allowed to choose only one now.
_______________________
===
_______________________
<System >
Please choose one of the following:
1. Fire
2. Water
3. Wind
4. Earth
5. Lightning
6. Light
7. Darkness
8. Space
There are more. Unfortunately, the host does not meet the requirements, the rest will be for sale when the host has the correct requirements.
_______________________
"Hmm, okay. Then I will choose Space."
_______________________
<System >
Unlocking Space affinity, the host's spirit will now be reconstructed. This may be painful for the host.
Does the host wish for the system to nullify the pain?
Note that if the host nullifies the pain, your space magic will be weaker than when you endure the pain.
Your magic will still be stronger than average if the host nullifies the pain.
_______________________
"I'll endure it."
_______________________
<System >
Stay strong.
Initiating Reconstruction.
3.

1.
Reconstruction in progress.

"This isn't that bad, all I feel is pins and needles, I thought it would feel like..."
William's eyes became bloodshot as an excruciating amount of pain washed over him. His spirit was being torn from his physical body, the nucleus that resided in his spirit was crushed to a pulp.
The pain he felt, was akin to being tortured in every way, be it fingernail ripping, eye gouging, knee cap hammering, finger clipping, small cuts, acid, drowning, or even bone grinding. The only difference is that if he was tortured, he was constantly being healed and tortured over and over again.
What was half an hour felt like years to him. Though this was a blessing in disguise, the worse it felt for him, the stronger his mental fortitude became, it should be safe to say that if he was ever to be hypnotized, he would not be the one suffering as his mind itself was close to becoming a death trap to others.
At last, when it was all done, William lost consciousness as if nothing happened and looked to be asleep.
"Oh sweetie, come look at this, he looks exhausted, he must have played too much today." Lauren said in a loving tone.
"Haha, you must be right, come on little man, off to bed with you." Morgan smiled as he took William to bed.
The night was peaceful and the sun started to rise, it then shone its light upon William's peaceful eyes causing him to wake up.
