Chapter 2: System
Chapter 2: System
=====================================================================
In a certain village, a woman with long blond hair and blue eyes was sitting on a chair next to a small lake while enjoying the sunset happily caressing her slightly protruding belly. She, however, was completely unaware that the soul of a great ninja from another world was currently in the process of being integrated with her son. A child that fate had never predestined to be born.
'Ugh… I feel so weak'
It took a few minutes before my mind got used to the new situation. Taking a deep breath, metaphorically of course, I try to analyze my current situation.
From what I can feel, it feels like I'm still in my soul form, but unlike when I was in the void, now it feels like I'm being connected to something despite being weak, it feels… like… if that connection slowly becomes more strong.
'I think I understand what's going on, I've probably reincarnated and now I'm connecting to my new body'

'Wow, it looks like the system is already working, this is good, very good' Let's do some more tests.
'Well… this weak connection is due to how strong my soul is along with my new body still in a developing state', when I finish my train of thought I hear a pleasant sound in my mind.
*Ding*
[Wisdom +1]
Looks like I'm on the right track.
'With the few deductions and rewards I can get, I can conclude that to increase my wisdom without using Status Points (PS) I must think and make smart decisions'

'Muahahaha, I'm really amazing.'
All right, let's see how my stats are.

Haaaa... even though I was expecting it, it's still pretty depressing. Guess I'll have to accept that I've somehow been demoted back to a noob.
It's a shame I can't remove this debuff, but it's understandable as it would be weird to have full strength in my situation.
But on the bright side I still have my mental statistics, although my luck should be better, after all, dying and having the chance to reincarnate doesn't happen every day.
Also, the energy system is different than expected, normally it should be like mana or in naruto's world, chakra.
Huh… that… 'Of course!' My eyes lit up as my memories provided what it was.
'How could I forget how chakra is formed. To put it in simple words, chakra is nothing more than the mixture of physical and spiritual energy and as I didn't learn to do this process, my energy remains in its basic form'
As expected of someone with 13 points in wisdom, I can't wait to reach 50... 100 points.
But anyway, as I have 7 months until my birth, I might as well train my mind using the techniques of my past life. The question is, will my technique be turned into a skill or not?
'If my memory serves me right, in the manhwa 'The Gamer', an action is not always rewarded with an ability'. A good example would be trying to zigzag and expect to receive a dodge skill, that would be ridiculous.
To really get a skill it is necessary that your action has the basics necessary to form the skill, like trying to reduce its presence by controlling the noise produced and trying to stay in shadow places to hide the opponent's view.
Doing all these actions, even if you don't have any experience, will likely generate a skill as the basic components were present.

'As I thought'. Shaking my head, I refocused.
'Now that I've confirmed my theory is right, it's time to see if my technique [Thousand Sigils of Good: Evoking the Law of the Sages] is capable of becoming a skill, and yes, that's a pretty fancy name for a technique, after all, if a technique doesn't have a good name it loses half its effect'
This technique was initially created only based on pseudoscientific research on spirituality and later with the advancement of technology, more recent versions also included neuroscience, psychology and other studies of the genre.
All this to feel, organize, and stimulate the soul, but in the end, my world didn't have anything supernatural, so this technique never showed the effects as described, having only being able to maintain focus increase the user's concentration.
So for the next few hours, I spent my time meditating and the result of my hard work was exactly, nothing. Yes, a big nothing. *Sigh* 'Fine, I can handle it, damn it!' How does it look so easy in reincarnation fanfics? The reality is really very difficult'.
Taking a deep breath, I begin to meditate again.
After a long month of meditation, which I never thought could take this long, I managed to turn my technique into a system skill.
In the first 15 days of training, I noticed some problems that I fixed along the way. It took me another 15 days to get past the crux of this technique, yes! the block was actually the entrance to my mental landscape, and once I entered I could easily do it again.
'It seems that those who work hard are rewarded in the end.' After so much effort, I let out a mental smile.
Well, let me show you the effects of my skill.
I say softly in my head 'skills list'
