A new world and a stat upgrade

World of Murim

Era of Tang dynasty

Year 0

On the first day of the new calendar a day after the enthronement of a new emperor a new life was born in the Chen family household.

On this day the sun shined the brightest and the birds chirped the loudest, even louder than when the emperor was throned.

As a baby cry sounded from the Chen family household a divine and ethereal aura surged out and covered the whole world. This aura was both real and illusory, but it could be felt by all beings and making them instinctively worship in reverence in the direction of the Chen family household.

A day after this phenomenon the Chen family was being praised as the holy family and the newborn baby as the holy son. The people of the world established the Chen dynasty a week later making the Chen family royalty.

Along with all this the old empire with the newly throned emperor was overthrown and all the people and wealth went to the new Chen Dynasty and it's establishment. Making the new emperor who was only in power for a day into a beggar as well as his family.

Ten years later.

"Holy son it's time to wake up. Today's your 10th birthday and you need to get ready for your birthday party." A young and pretty 16-17 year old girl in a maid outfit bowed at the doorway towards a king sized bed that was too big for a 10 year old boy.

"Mm, yes yes I'm up now. Thank you for waking me up you can go now." Said a silver grayish haired cute faced boy who sat up while rubbing his eyes and yawing.

"Yes holy son." The maid girl shut the double doored doorway and quickly left.

The silver grayish haired cute faced boy was the holy son of the Chen dynasty and the baby who was the cause of the emperor 10 years ago to lose his job, Chen Mu.

Chen Mu was made the holy son from wishes of all the people 10 years ago because of the phenomenon caused by his birth.

But people didn't just want him as the holy son because of the phenomenon caused by his birth obviously, though it was one of the reasons. There were actually two more reasons, first it was because the aura that appeared 10 years ago made everyone unconsciously revere and worship Chen Mu because of his great providence. The second reason was because they thought Chen Mu was a child born only once in existence and had great potential and providence that could benefit everyone and would be smart to follow him.

Though Chen Mu had great providence because of the aura of his birth had actually fused with him and gave him great luck, but his talent was only just above average. And because of that he's never showed any great performance in anything like studies, athletics, and governing.

Though to the surprise of everyone Chen Mu had actually showed great understanding, knowledge, and talent in social sciences such as psychology and philosophy as well as a maturity that wasn't even seen on people 4 times his age.

This is all like this because it comes from one of Chen Mu's biggest secrets of him actually being a transmigrator. Though Chen Mu went under the fusion of that aura 10 years ago and increased his providence, but alot of his providence actually comes from his last life.

Chen Mu was from modern day earth and died as an old, sick, and dying old man who kicked the bucket at a ripe age of 80 years old.

Chen Mu on Earth was a poor beggar child until he was taken in by a family at the age if 12. That family treated Chen Mu as one of them as they raised and took care of him with also getting him through school and then college.

Chen Mu got out of college and started his first business which failed. Then he started his second which also failed. Then the third, fourth, fifth… and finally got to his 36th one till he succeeded. And on that 36th one he spent the rest of his life building it all the way up into a mega corporation which made him unimaginably wealthy.

By the time Chen Mu was 65 he had gotten cancer which he spent millions of dollars to treat and a year later he fought it off. Then the cancer came back once he was 69 and it came back stronger and more nasty than before. Chen Mu had to retire and live the rest of his life in old age and sickness.

Chen Mu didn't have much of a bucket list so what he did to occupy himself was to read. Chen Mu had already read most of the philosophical and psychological literature that he could get his hands on, so he decided to try a new type of literature.

Chen Mu decided to start reading manga and watching anime like all the kids and young adults did. Chen Mu actually became so engrossed in the otaku world that he went deeper and got into novels and finally tried to write his own novel.

Unfortunately Chen Mu's sickness caught up with him as well as his old age and he passed away before he could write his novel. Chen Mu had only just gotten finished coming up with the op system that his character would have and use to reach the apex.

Chen Mu called this system the [Growing increase system] and his character in the world of cultivation and immortals would use to climb the food chain.

Now Chen Mu got transmigrated into a new world and he's now turning 10 years old today. Chen Mu like other transmigrators got a system and it was the same exact system that he came up with in his unwritten novel.

Chen Mu when he was woken up got a "ding" sound in his head and proceeded to open up his system panel like the other transmigrators.

Chen Mu was filled with joy when looking at his status screen for two reasons. The first and most important is that he's a system protagonist and the second is because he can finally use his system.

Chen Mu knew from being the creator of the system that he can't use the increase function until the number was a rational/whole number and can only have his stats increased by a whole number. He had proved this all by trying to use the increase function and it not working as well as the descriptions given by the system from his questions.

And so today on his 10th birthday his increase has finally reached 1x and can be used. Chen Mu decided to start increasing his talent by 1x everyday.

The way the increase function works is that the number your increase is will add onto any stat you decided to put in the increase slot.

An example would be is that Chen Mu has a 5x increase and decided to put it in stamina. Then his stamina stat would increase +5 everyday forever until he takes the stat out of the increase slot.

And by doing that his base stamina would get a +5 multiplier everyday. Also the way the stats work is by multiplying your base stat by whatever your increased number is next to the stat.

So if Chen Mu's base physical strength was that he could lift up 100kg then he had a 10x next to the stat then he could lift up 1000kg.

Another example is that Chen Mu's average talent after ten days will give him 10x better talent than average talent. But, there's also other stats with different descriptions and there's another type of example that could describe the stats.

Theoretically if Chen Mu's talent was the top talent this year then he decided to increase his multiplier. Then after 10 days it would make him the top talent in 10 years.

So how one describes the stats is not by just simply multiplying but seeing the descriptions of each stat and see's the main key words that each stat is. That was how Chen Mu created this system and knows how much he has everything in the bag even if it's not there yet.

The system also gave the function of describing what everything the system does and can do so Chen Mu could refresh his memory and see the differences in the system he made and the system he possesses.

"System what's the description on my talent stat?"

[Talent: 1x- currently being increased in increase slot.

(Description: talent is just above average for everything)]

"Hah, sucks my talent is just above average but thankfully now it will be going up. In a year it will be up to 1000x and I'll be 1000 times the man i am now." Chen Mu was thankful for today that everything now will be going up for him.

Also this world that Chen Mu is in works differently than Earth(obviously) and one thing is that the time and years are different. In this world every year is made up of 1000 days and there are 20 months with 50 days in each.

The people of this world also live longer than humans if you look at the days and not the years. If you looked at the years than you'd see that the people of Earth and this world live around 80-90 years, but the difference is that an Earth year has 365 days whilst this world has exactly 1000.

And so around every 3 Earth years one year passes in this world, making the people of this world naturally live longer. Which was also why Chen Mu had to wait 10 years for his multiplier to get to 1x.

Chen Mu kept looking at the description and had a look of curiosity and expectation on him as he stared at a particular word. "Everything?" Chen Mu said to himself. He had an idea of what everything meant and could lead up too.

He had an idea that this one word could open up limitless possibilities and paths for him in the future but he couldn't prove it and just had his hunch.

Chen Mu closed the status panel and then got a similar system message he once got before.

"Ding"

[Growing Increase system birthday gift]

[You've lived 10x more than before and are now 10 years old. You get 2 system gifts to help you along your journey.]

[1. You get a minor stat upgrade]

[2. You get a new stat "wisdom"]

"Put the minor stat upgrade into talent. And give me a description of this new stat." Chen Mu who was still in bed thought to himself.

[Wisdom: 1x

(Description: to have a new perspective on all things, able to make sound logical judgements and decisions without interference.)

"Well this is quite an interesting stat. To have the ability of another perspective as well as not being interfered in my decisions is very important and unbelievable. I wonder what the affect will be once I decide to increase it?"

As Chen Mu finished up checking the new wisdom stat he felt a surge of pain, heat, and narcolepsy. He lost control of his body as it all tensed up and then fell in a paralyzed state as he slowly fell unconscious. During all this he didn't make a sound because of the tensing up.

Chen Mu didn't get a chance to close the system panel and so before he closed his eyes he saw a system message telling him that his talent stat was finished upgrading.

Chen Mu's body, soul, spirit, perception, comprehension, intelligence, and so on were undergoing a change. And with that change brought great pain which is why Chen Mu passed out. This change was done in an instant and all at once which made Chen Mu pass out to shock as well.

6 hours later Chen Mu was sleeping soundly like a baby but was woken up by his mom barging through the door and screaming at him. She saw that Chen Mu's face was oily and his clothes and sheets were drenched in sweat.

Getting out of the berserk mode she was in she asked why Chen Mu was so sweaty and thar he was still sleeping and not ready yet.

Chen Mu just came up with the excuse that he stayed up late last night because he was to excited and that he was still tired so he fell asleep. Then when he passed out again he had a nightmare which made him sweat. Chen Mu had to make up something because he can't tell anyone he has the system so using his wisdom he made a pretty sound story.

Chen Mu's mother obviously believed it and told him to wash up and get ready for his big day today. Which first and foremost his 10th birthday which he's already gotten gifts by by his ultimate helper the system but also that today he gets to start learning martial arts.

This day is the day Chen Mu has been waiting for his whole life.
