The air in the hospital's I.C.U. ward was heavy with anticipation and worry as a well-built man in his thirties paced back and forth in the hallway, his eyes filled with anxiety. His wife was inside, undergoing a delicate procedure to bring their child into the world.
As he waited, he couldn't help but imagine the worst-case scenario, his mind racing with every possible complication. But after what seemed like an eternity, the lights in the I.C.U. ward dimmed, signaling that the procedure was over.
Heart racing, he sprinted to the door of the I.C.U. ward, eager to see his wife and child. As he entered the room, his eyes fell upon his wife, her face contorted with exhaustion, but the sound of a newborn's cries filled the room.
The relief he felt was palpable as he approached the doctor who had just finished checking on his wife and child. "Doctor, how are they? Is everything okay?" he asked, his voice trembling with emotion.
The doctor smiled reassuringly. "Your wife and child are both in good condition. Your wife is just tired after the labor, but she will recover soon. Let them rest for a bit before you see them."
Taking a deep breath, the man felt the weight of the world lifted from his shoulders as he looked at his wife and newborn child. The little one was still sleeping soundly, his tiny chest rising and falling with each breath.
Overwhelmed with emotion, the man's wife turned to him and asked, "What should we name our son?" With tears in his eyes, the man looked down at his child, feeling the depth of his love and devotion for this little bundle of joy.
Together, they whispered the name 'Erick Dahl', while savoring the sound of each one as they rolled off their tongues. And as they settled on a name for their precious child, they knew that this moment would stay with them forever, a testament to the power of love and the miracle of life.

'My consciousness started to return to me, and as I slowly opened my eyes, I realized that I was surrounded by darkness. It felt sticky, and I couldn't see anything, but I remembered asking for a system and a goddess sending it to me to direct my soul. If it hasn't bounded to me, it must be waiting for some sort of condition or timing.
As I was pondering over my situation, drowsiness took over me, and I felt myself drifting off to sleep. I must have slept for a long time, because when I opened my eyes again, I saw a bright light shining in the distance. I instinctively started moving towards it, and as I got closer, the light became brighter, almost blinding.
I closed my eyes and then slowly opened them again to adjust to the brightness. What I saw was unexpected. A woman was holding me close to her chest, and I heard voices around me.
The man beside me was of above-average height, with brown hair, black eyes, and a charming smile. He wore formal clothes, and his presence gave off a friendly neighbourhood vibe. He is my father whose name is Jaden Dahl'.
It didn't take me long to realize that I was a baby, reincarnated into a new world. My new body was tiny, but I knew that I had plenty of techniques that could help me grow quickly without causing any harm.
But the most pressing matter at the moment was my hunger. My stomach was growling loudly, and before I knew it, a pair of perky, smooth breasts were shoved into my mouth. The taste of the heavenly nectar that flowed into my stomach was indescribable, and I felt my hunger gradually dissipating.
My mother was a beautiful woman with long silver hair that had golden tips, silvery-golden eyes, and Nordic-type skin. Her ample bosom made her look like a mature beauty. Her name is Asa Dahl'.
As I rested on her lap, I felt warm and content. But hunger struck me again, and I made a noise while pointing to my mouth with my little fingers, hoping to get my mother's attention.
And it worked. My mother immediately picked me up and offered me her milk. I drank eagerly, savoring every drop of the sweet liquid.
As I drifted off to sleep again, I realized that this new life was going to be a journey filled with ups and downs, but for now, I was content to rest in my mother's arms and enjoy the simple pleasures of life.
......
Next day,
As I stared at the screen in front of me, I couldn't help but feel a rush of excitement coursing through my veins.
[ Ding...System binding with host soul...
..starting process...
...10%
...20%
...40%.
...60%.
...80%.
...100%..]
The screen started to display a series of notifications, signaling that the system I had requested was finally binding with my soul. The progress bar inched closer and closer to completion.
[Ding...
...Binding Process Complete.]
[Welcome Host, I am A TIER SYSTEM]
I couldn't help but grin with satisfaction. This was the custom system that I had requested from Goddess Yuko, and it was finally here. With this system at my disposal, I could finally live the lazy, fulfilling life that I had always dreamed of.
[ ...Ding...Host, SYSTEM functions are as follows - Status, Inventory (Temporary), Shop, A.I. Connectivity (With the calculation equals to quantum computer), and rest are locked (Condition required).]
[Note: Whenever the Host breakthrough to the next Tier, the Host will get a random reward. So, Work Hard, Host.]
As I perused the list, my mind buzzing with the possibilities, the system offered me a tantalizing bit of information: Whenever I achieved a new Tier, I would be rewarded with something random. All I had to do was work hard.
I nodded to myself, determined to make the most of this incredible opportunity. But first, I needed to give my new companion a name. The system had promised to gather general information about the world, which would take a week at most.
Feeling a sudden wave of exhaustion washing over me, I decided to take a nap. "I'll name you when I wake up," I murmured to the system. With that, I closed my eyes and let myself drift off into slumber, feeling a sense of excitement and anticipation building within me.

Feeding, sleeping, and shitting like a mindless robot. I yearn for something more, something exciting to shake up the monotony of my existence. And then, my System grants my wish. As I delve deeper into the information it provides, I realize just how messed up this world truly is. It may look like a modern world at first glance, but there's a hidden layer to it that's just waiting to be uncovered. A layer of martial artists, magicians, cultivators, and all sorts of fantastical beings that have emerged over the past few decades. To cope with these sudden changes, the governments of different countries have banded together to form the World Council. It's been a few years since its inception, and they've been working tirelessly to gather information about the disturbances happening all around us. What they've un

A month later, I am sitting on a chair beside the table, and in front of me, on the table, lies the thing I got from Tier 1 gift pack. It was a surprise for me when I saw what was inside the gift, and thank the goddess, I love it. Do you want to know what it is? It's a piece of tech that can transform into any form, like a computer, mobile, smartwatch, camera, and even smart glasses, etc. I named it 'Megatron'. It's high-level technology, and in the future, I can even make it soul-bound to me once I am strong enough, as it runs on my energy. "Hmmm... I need a lot of resources in the initial tier to cultivate, and I also need a legal way so my parents can live a carefree life until they get old," Nowadays, I was thinking of setting up a business where I can sell pills, potions, weapons, etc., but first, I need a large fund to buy a decent building, and it can be settled if I use
********** ..... " " Conversion or speech, ' ' thoughts, [ ] System talking. ...... ...... The cultivation technique that I am practicing is very unique. It works on both the body and the soul, creating a Yin-Yang equilibrium. When cultivating, not only does the body's cultivation increase, but also the soul's, which contributes to the spirit and condenses it into the core in the navel area of the body. In the later stages, the body will develop a small world within the core for physical representation, and in the same way, the soul realm will develop in the consciousness space. Both realms are connected, with one working for the physical and the other for the soul state. This means that when the physical world develops, it can form a separate living world where you can bring anyone you want by giving them permission as energy or a unique symbol. However, you can only bring soul-related creatures or beings to the soul realm once it stabilizes. At a certain level of the tier,

I had asked Aashi to buy twenty lottery tickets, with only two having rewards and the rest being blanks. It was enough for us to buy a property in a mid-class society. "Son, where did you get these from, and where did you get the money to buy them?" my father asked, trying to look angry. However, I could tell he was a bad actor. I had already thought of an excuse. "Dad, there were twenty of these in a bundle, and I found them in a nearby park when I went to play yesterday. Today, I saw the news and matched the lottery numbers. Luckily, two of them matched, and we got two jackpots. These two should be enough for us to live on for ten years," I said, giving a very convincing story.

I sat on my balcony enjoying the scenery around me, taking in the natural charm of the pristine state that nature had returned to. After a while, I got up and got ready for a jog around the community, hoping to familiarize myself with the people in the neighborhood. As I stepped out of the house, someone crashed into me, causing me to stumble and fall. I reached out to grab the person responsible, but I ended up slipping on something and falling beneath them. When I opened my eyes, all I saw was darkness. I tried to clear whatever was blocking my vision with my hands, and as I touched it, I felt a soft and springy sensation. I squeezed it a few times, feeling great in my hands, but then I heard a moan from above me, which made me freeze. I quickl

I won't be parting with it, so don't worry about that." Christine replied with a sweet smile, her eyes twinkling as she looked at the bracelet on her wrist. The emerald shone brightly against the golden chains, making it look even more enchanting. "Alright then, see you next time," I gave them a dazzling smile, which made the girls blush and smile in return. After that, I left and went to pick up my parents.

The Earth had reached its fill and was now releasing it into the atmosphere, invigorating anyone who dared to take a deep breath. Despite the beauty of the world around them, the planet's inhabitants remained indifferent, too caught up in their daily affairs to appreciate the lovely atmosphere that their home provided. They continued to harm the planet, taking everything it offered without a second thought. But there was one person who might be able to understand the world's plea. Slowly but surely, the world was developing it's consciousness, as the world had taken whiff of the energy he emitted. Unintentionally, he nourished the world every day, giving it life and vitality.
