♪Darling, My darling baby♪
♪Rest your sweet mind♪
♪Mommy will always be near♪
♪Don't you cry♪
♪I'll always protect you from all of your fears♪
♪So worry not, my darling baby, for all of your years.♪
I was woken up by a sweet melody that seemed to wrap itself around my entire being.
Slowly I opened my eyes only to notice how dimly lit the room was.
As my eyes wandered around the room, I came to realize I was being held gently by Cinyah, who was slowly rocking me and humming a soft tune with her eyes closed.
The minutes seemed to tick by as I watched my new mother rock my petite body and hum softly. Her beauty and grace seemed to radiate with a light violet aura.
Her voice, crystal clear and pleasing to the ears, was able to put me completely at ease for the first time in my life.
A mother's love and gentle care were something that I couldn't remember the last time I had experienced. And against my better judgment, I fell into a lull of complete ease and relaxation.
My vision slowly drifted from Cinyah to around the room.
What was reflected was a typical baby room on Earth. Minus the fact that several strange technological instruments adorned the walls and shelves of said room.
The room housed a crib that lay directly in the center of the room, and a small dresser lined the 12x12 foot room. A circular purplish-blue throw rug was stationed under the crib and took up a good amount of the floor plan.
Hanging above the crib was a fluffy-looking cloud that emitted several soft colors. As I watched, it shifted from warm greens to blues, to purples, green, red. It not only triggered my ADHD, but It reminded me of those color shift lights that I used to have in my computer room back on Earth. Except that this light was in the form of a large storm cloud.
The walls were a light shade of blue, which I could only assume reflected that I was a baby boy.
As time slowly moved by, Cinyah eventually fell to slumber and stopped humming her loving tune. But the chair we were in continued to rock as if motorized.
Noticing her soft rhythmic breathing, I quickly determined that my new mother was finally asleep.
I sighed internally, opened my Status Panel, and attempted to figure out a little more about this world.
: Status :
: Cynrik Jetlensr:
: Human Male:
: Age-0:
: Soul Age-29:
: Level: 0 :
: Essence(XP): 0/100 :
: Distribution: 1 Per All :
'Ok, first things first, I'm human. I can't be too sad; at least I'm not a donkey hybrid as I had feared.'
Scanning down the seven lines floating on the invisible panel in my line of sight, I fell upon the level portion.
'Level zero, tsk. He couldn't even start me off at level 1. It looks like the form of experience points here is called Essence.'
When I got to Distribution, I was momentarily stumped.
'System Define the Distribution Status.'
-The Distribution Status is the notifier of how many Stat points will be applied to specified Statistic Fields upon the Hosts level increasing.-
'1 per all. Wait, System, does that mean ill receive one stat point to all of my stats every time I level up.'
However, instead of answering my question, the monotone female voice of the System stayed silent.
'Tsk, Stingy.' I retorted while scrunching up my baby face.
I brought back up my Stat Panel and began having the System read off each effect of every stat listed with a quick thought.
-Strength represents the amount of power the Host is physically capable of generating.-
-Dexterity represents the Host's action speed or hit rate as well as weapon handling.-
-Agility represents the Host's physical speed and maneuverability.-
-Intelligence determines the Host's base Mana pool and has an allocation ratio of 1 point =5 Points of Mana, and the strength of attacks that utilize Mana can output. This statistic also determines the Host's cognitive abilities, such as memorization and thought-processing speed.-
-Vitality represents the number of health points the Host's HP pool contains; this stat has a ratio of 1 point = 10 hp, as well as it determines the stamina the Host's body contains, which has a ratio of 1 point= 5 points in the Stamina Pool.-
-Mind represents the Host's Defense and Offensive capabilities when using Mental Skills and runs parallel with the Host's Intelligence Stat for memorization and thought-processing speed.-
'It looks like my initial assessment was correct. The only thing throwing me off is the Distribution line in my Status Panel. I can only assume it's an enate option for Builds. I wonder if it's a randomly generated perk. If so, I wonder what the average Distribution per level is.'
