A Second Chance in Time

The Genesis of a Journey

[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

[Ok]

[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

[You are laid in a separate small bed near your mother, also you should check your status]

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-

[Skill 'sleep' has been used on you]
