4 Chapter 4: Being a Baby Sucks Ass
After a few hours of being monitored by the hospital, we were probably discharged as I can feel that we are travelling due to the vibrations.
In my 1st hours of new life, I had to now feed on my mother's breast, again. while those reincarnation novels focused a lot on their mom's breast and creepy stuff like that. As a newborn you can't really do that, 1st of all, you're basically goddamned blind. 2nd, you would have an instinctual reflex to suck and feed, you're running on fumes at this point. I'm exhausted as hell, sure as hell I'll drink a lot or I'll die just in the 1st day.
Now, we're at home because my mother is just cradling me on what I would assume, is a crib. For my next set of plans, considering that even as a baby still unborn, I've already felt that I can adapt I will start early. I currently have no information about this world, there might be damned dangerous animals here for all I know that can terrorize cities, just like danger beasts in Akame's world.
For the information that I do have, this world is just like my old world. With modern cities and tech, why? Because we rode in a car, babies' sense of smell are their strongest sense before they develop others. The smell is unmistakable, the smell of exhaust and the humming of an engine. So that's basically crossed out, thank Genesis though. Living in the middle ages is crazy inconvenient and dangerous that's a thing novels overlook, a lot.
Now for my status board. (I'd call it that because it is a system with certain functions, but that's the only function it has lol). It's quantitatively numbered for better understanding of my received skills, even though I only developed 2 though.

STR: 0.3
END:0.4
INT: 25
STA: 0.6
DEX: 0.1
Skills:
-pain resistance lvl 1
: makes the skill bearer resist pain, making them able to endure more stimuli. Gives 0.5% resistance to pain inflicted to self
-Fatigue resistance lvl 1
: lets the skill bearer resist fatigue better, resulting in longer times being awake or uptime in strenuous activities. Gives 0.5% more resistance to fatigue due to activities done
'Hm, pain resistance probably came from the child birth. Hurts like a bitch after all, the fatigue res. Is from my efforts of staying awake longer, the stamina of an infant is next to non existent. Now that I think about it this will be one of my most important skills, having more stamina and not needing sleep as much will increase my efficiency by a lot. Hmm won't I become a monster in the bedroom if I max this? kekekeke, no no no no, I'll think about that when I have my libido and I can use it as well.
Now there is a notification as well, hm probably from Genesis. He didn't really explain my system that much, well, let's find out.
Dear Wolfgang,
Probably Einheri now though hahaha. Well, you must have some burning questions about the system yes? If so, you're in luck because my venerable self will explain some things to you. 1st of all your stats, pretty self explanatory no?
STR= how hard you hit
END= how hard you can get hit
INT= how much your brain can store, analyze, and sort information. How fast too, so read lots k? Also, this is connected to your will and resistance to let's say illusions (fenghuang down op)
STA: how long you can keep hitting
DEX: how much you can't get hit, chant the mantra I am speed for extra evasion hahaha. Includes reflexes and how dextrous your body parts are, so increase this to have the god hand k?
Average humans also have stats ranging in 10 but not more than 20, those already belong to people like athletes or with specialized professions just like you which is a doctor, that needs a lot of information and knowledge in their heads.
About your skills, you cannot make skills that does not affect your body. For example observe, the staple of systems cannot be learned no matter how much you scrutinize anything on sight. You'd receive another one though like hawk eyes or something like that, your system cannot give you skills, you, will give yourself skills.
Next is your infinite adaptability. This one's a bit tricky, as a being of infinite adaptability, of course you should have no ceiling no? There kinda is, you'd have to present yourself to higher types of stimuli to keep increasing your skills' level, a soft cap to say.
After that would be skills with kind of overlapping effects. for example your pain res. and fatigue res. are skills that have similar effects, kind of. They resist debilitating effects to your body, keep on stacking em skillz and your system would automatically synthesize them ok? So try to get em all and be invincible kekeke. Once you have a synthesized skill, the others that you receive would merge with the higher tiered one, so make sure to not have leaks to them. Your enemies might have something that can throw at you and be under prepared, good luck. I don't want you to be up here so soon after all.
Love,
-Genesis đđ
Hmm I see. This is very informative indeed. I guess I would have to grind a lot huh, gotta go grind then. God, I feel like I'm playing an rpg again, only thing I can grind right now is fatigue res. damn, can't possibly inflict self harm now can we. Oh well, better than nothing at least.
Now, gotta feed to grow big, mom come to me. As Einheri cried so he can feed once again, after all. 4 hours have passed.

chappy done, before we build the world, gotta build the base ya know. I had the idea synthesize so his stats won't be cluttered with tons of crap, that will be exhausting to think about and write. some skills like resistances won't probably be mentioned but included in the higher tier skills which are the synthesized ones to reduce redundancy.
as for the expositions. it must be pretty tiring to read but of course, the basics is, expositions should start 1st. And I think these are quite important for the progression of the protag's skills and story as well. Next chapter we'll have a little time skip and we will now know a bit of the timeline we're in for the ones who know honkai. While for the ones who don't play, world building. So hope you guys understand, ciao
