2024-10-29 19:42:56[Host, brace for impact, you are coming out]
Oh, finally I will see the light of the outside world.
I'm kinda exited for what am I gonna see first.
[Babies have terrible sigh right after birth]
Don't ruin my excitement.
[But it's facts]
[Also, should I make you unconscious through till you are out?]
No, it shouldn't hurt much anyway.
[No, in fact, the only reason the baby doesn't die from the shock of the sudden pain is the fact that the nerves are underdeveloped. Your nerves are more developed so you will feel 85-90% of the pain, which isn't little by the way, and the ~5% decrease doesn't help much]
I endured my limbs being torn of and my organs crushed, I'm sure this will be fine.
[Your body got reset, so you are not used to any sort of pain right now, the reason you could endure it then is because of your pain receptors dulling.]
Either way it's a no, since it's a good chance to get the 'pain resistance' skill.
[Understood, but don't tell me I didn't warn you, also, you are about to be born, do you wish for a countdown?]
Yes, please

[Brace for the pain]
Yeah, it's no-
FFFFUUUUUUCCCCCKKKKK, YOU DIDN'T TELL ME ABOUT THIS KIND OF PAIN
[I warned you, host, I even told you that your body got reset so even any pain resistance you got is nullified]
AT LEAST SAY HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE
[Due to your stats, about 1h and 46 min.]
HOW MUCH WITHOUT THE TRAINING
[1 hours 10 minutes]
WHY DID I ACCEPT THAT DAMNED QUEST, IT ONLY BROUGHT ME MISERY SO FAR
[But you got the oh so desired skills.]
FUCK THE SKILLS, WHEN IS IT GONNA END
[Don't worry, only 1 hour and 44 minutes]
WWWHHHYYYY, I THOUGH IT WAS ALMOST MIDWAY
[For first-time mothers the childbirth, on average, take 1-2 hours]
HEY SYSTEM, CAN YOU SPEED THIS UP
[Sure]
Oh, really
[You fill have to sacrifice your 'level decrease pills']
Fuck no, ok time to resume screaming
AAAAAHHHHHH
[Please hold in that scream for longer, I have to bring something to close my ears]
FFFFFUUUUUCCCCKKKK YYYYOOOOUUUUUU
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
<~2h time skip>
Huff huff , is it over?
[No]
Ok, I'm selling my 'level decrease pills'
[I'm joking]
Fuck you
[Funny fact, the word 'fuck' has no historical or any meaning at all and there are many theories of where it came from. The top three theories are: it came from the High German word 'ficken' which means "to rub" or "to strike", which may have gotten a sexual meaning later on. The second theory is that it came from the Middle English term "fukken"/"fucken", which may have been derived from the Old English term "fuccan", both meaning "to have sexual intercourse". The last theory is that it came from the Thousand-year war between the French and the English. I will not go into detail with it since it takes a while to explain. I have more theories if you wish to hear.]
No, please don't, save your encyclopedia mode for exams
[Sad, but ok]
Either way, where are we, everything I see is super blurry

Quest log]
Hey system, why aren't the stat bonuses fully applied?
[You are underdeveloped, if you receive your full bonus now, you will explode, since your body isn't strong enough, also don't bother training till 4, until then you will only do more harm than good, since you're still developing]
[The 'underdeveloped' reasoning will be used a lot until your 4th birthday in these kind of cases, so be prepared]
Anything I can do to speed up the process?
[Nothing, and before I forget, don't even think about consuming anything in your inventory till you're 4, you will slow down the growth of your body and you will most likely receive permanent damage as well]
Oh, sad
Either way, what's up with the ' first true prodigy' title?
[You earned it since your stat avg. surpassed 8 before the age of 4, your current stat average is ~8.9 so that's a big plus, though I ask you to stop getting any stats till you're 4. Your under developed body can have a stat of no higher than 9.5.]
Let me guess, it's because I'm underdeveloped.
[Yes, you are free to increase your physical stats by a bit, but I will forcefully block any conscious attempt at increasing other stats]
Then at least show me the description of 'The First True Prodigy'
[Title: The First True Prodigy
Rarity: Mythical
Description: You are a prodigy, doing something only one in a millennia can do. Though your talent is restricted by your human body, don't abandon it, because the human race are 'incomplete', that's why they are one of the weakest, but also the one holding the most potential. Why do you think there are so many god with a human body
Effect: Increase talent limit by a major rank, gain +10% SP per level, when increasing a skill related to your talents, the skill will progress 1.2x faster.]
That's OP, wait, why is this only Mythical.
[Why are you disappointed, the Divine rarity is called divine for a reason, only gods can do them 9999 out of 10000 times, that 1 time is like when you achieved it. Though the condition difficulty per rarity changes per race or race variant, gods are gods for a reason.]
Ok, then what are the other changes I got
[The system admin decided to change the system a little. First, each quest has a passive reward of 10 copper per rank, so F-rank passively will give 20 copper coins and an S-rank quest will give 80 copper coins]
Also, what's the exchange for the sudden bonus?
[No reason, continuing the change description. The shop can't go above F rank items now and you can't buy things that are non-related to your class, there is one more though discover it for your self, it's temporary anyway.]
Let's me guess, you will block any stat bonus I receive and any attempt I will do at incresaing my stats.
[Gasp*, how did you discover it so easily.]
I knew it.
[I'm joking, it's something else, but that will be added while you sleep]
What are you talking abo-

If not for that skill of yours and that strange 'system', your soul would've exploded.

This...What the fuck?Why is it...Why is so much of the blessing sealed?Where is the super op item I get after I accept the blessing?[Transferring items from any divine realm to here is expensive regardless of the strength of the god or mortal or the distance.] [No normal god would give something from the divine realm to a weak mortal, especially at this time when there is basically no energy here, making it 100x more expensive than it should be.][If the blessing wasn't sealed, you would die due to bearing so much pressure. Remember when Anar'aya-But the weapon...[This is not a fantasy][At least be happy you got a blessing at all and didn't die. All other mortals except you and the other four regressors would be dead just having the blessing for 1 second.]Wait, you said there are multiple divine realms.[Yes, but that's all I know. The only logical conclusion I can come up with is that for each god there is one divine realm that is perfectly suited for said god]So there are

I was expecting that, with the rigorous mana manipulation I was doing, I wouldn't be surprised that it got to D- rank. [That would be virtually impossible, but the next big change is your your limiter. Due to unspecified reasons it increased, probably you have to thank Anar'aya, the knowledge on how to pray to her costs almost nothing] How much? [Nothing special, just your life] You tried to joke, right? .... Right? ... Please tell me you're lying. [Yes] Ok, then what's the limit now.

I have reduced my rest time by half and now sleep only 2 hours a day. I have to say that 'Shroud Barrier is one of the best barrier I could get right now. It conceals the inside of the barrier, for now, since it's G- rank, it can only show as if it's nothing there and works for those with a low will stat or normal human. But why is it so difficult [It is a barrier with a lot of potential and it is also sort of a blank slate as in the higher ranks you can apply concepts to it, thus having a chance to turn 'Shroud Barrier' into sort of a 'pseudo-domain'.] Really, I didn't even think of that. The only concepts I know is 'survival', 'adaptation' and that's it. But for some sort of reason, which may or may not be the system, I can't remember them. [Your concepts were flawed. You got the core right, but in the 'personalization step, you made them bellow average, so I deleted the memories that contain anything related to those concepts except when you started to com

[You have the options to combine the titles 'Rule breaker', 'Law breaker' and 'Limit breaker', do you accept?

[No problem, you got the 'Limit breaker' title by increasing your limit by 0.5, that is huge.] [Law breaker' by being separated from your for so long, learning so many spells at such a young age without a body and having so many stats and not being of a divine or transcendent bloodline] ['Rule breaker' was acquired by getting so many divine titles and having so many things sealed in you that even the world's will got to intervene, thus you broke at least a few major rules, granting you this title] Thanks for the info, now please merge the titles [Understood, 'Rule breaker', 'Law breaker' and 'Limit breaker', have been merged.] [The merging is

I know the perfect skills to pick, ‘Combustion’ and ‘Mana-kinesis’I had both of these skills, though I ignored ‘Mana-kinesis’ and it only got to D rank, because it requires a bunch of theoretical knowledge to make 100% use of ‘Mana-kinesis’.Though this time, since I’ll waste less time on useless things like exploring and searching for hidden encounters and the like, I can focus on learning about ‘Fusion’ more and making it more usefulBut ‘Combustion’, on the other hand is a skill I really, really, REALLY liked, in fact it was one of my most favorite skills and I was the first to take to S+ rank, though that was at the end of my life.‘Combustion’ is really versatile, since it’s description at G rank quite literaly is ‘When combustion is used on a particular area/item/material, it makes said thing combust’And for others it turns further on

THIS IS IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I officially edited a chap before on this, but I will write it for those that either reach this chap before the other chap's edit: current MC stats are based on an avg. males before mana was introduced, same for skills, meaning the fireball skill is so high ranking becuase the max possible output is just that low.I've prepared plans to slowly point this out, but in webnovel I've faced a coment regarding this, so since I don't want you to think that this is a half-assed novel, I will say this for now.

First official lesson
First, you make a box big enough to house the thing that you wish to cast plus a few centimeters to the sides, then you put in the thing that will hold the cast while it cools down and when you pour it.Then you do the same thing with the other half of the box or you fill half of the box.The next step is to carve the mold, weather it is by hand or just pressing a plastic, wax or a cast made of any other material into the sand, if the box is split in two, you can remove the cast, but if it’s one, then leave the cast, but make sure it is made of a material that burn really well and really quick.Then, if the box is separated in two, then you put it together and don’t forget to make a couple of wholes where you will pour in the metal.And then you take your molten metal and pour it.This time I used a wooden box and clay, plus a foam cast.My cast turned out unsuccessful, because the metal didn’t completely fill in a corner,
