Chapter 7 - First Awakening (1/2)
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, the pain and heat started to subside.
Breathing heavily, I found it challenging to keep my eyes open, and soon everything faded to black. All I could hear was the soft singing of Cinyah.

If I had been awake, I would have been able to hear the System Notification that followed me passing out from exhaustion.
-Awakening complete-
-Inventory installed current space: 1x1 meter-
Meanwhile, in the Gods Hall.
=This kid thinks we can't read his thoughts, HA like to see the youngling have words with me=
Odin was currently sitting on a great Viking throne, laughing about how Cynrik was cursing him.
Back on Vinestra
After my so-called awakening, time continued. Day by day slogged on in the same repetitive manner.
Drink boob milk, train eyeballs, rhythmic breathing to adjust to the planets mana, poop, eavesdrop, sleep.
The same pattern day in and out. If it weren't for my willpower, I would have gone insane, but finally, after 50 days of the same pattern, my little cycle was at long last broken.
After nearly two months, the same firey feeling I got during my awakening once again surged through my body.
But unlike the first time, this level wasn't nearly as painful.
It was as if my body had already accepted that it would grow stronger over time, and thus the pain wasn't so bad the second time around.
The surge of heat disappeared just as quickly as it had arrived. Then, no less than 5 seconds later, my System Panel forcefully popped into existence.
-You Have Leveled Up-
The sound of that glorious monotone female voice was music to my ears.
'Two months, IT TOOK ME 2 FREAKING MONTHS. JUST TO HIT THE LEVEL TWO WHAT KIND OF SLOW ASS …whatever, I can't keep comparing life to a video game; of course, leveling would be slow as hell IRL (In the real world), System Open Status Panel.'

'MOTHER FUCKER 2500 XP TO LEVEL 3, YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, I ONLY GET 10 XP A DAMN DAY.] I screamed internally out of frustration. I Get that I'm just an infant, but cmon System, you could at least give me some pitty XP here.'
-No New Quests available at this time-
'Oh, so now you're taunting me, is that how it's going to be?' I thought in disgust.
-The System isn't a sentient being and thus is incapable of taunting the host in any way-
Its monotone voice rang out once again, with its text flowing on a newly opened notification window that was floating just to the left of my Status Panel.
Knowing there was ZERO chance of having an actual argument or conversation with the System, I decided it was best to ignore its retort.
After rolling back and forth for a moment in my crib, I kicked off my blanket and rolled onto my stomach from my back, and continued to think. 'At 10 XP a day, it's going to take me over eight months to get to level 3. Which puts me still a year away from Brandon being born.'
My small infantile hand reached up to my temple in an attempt to massage it. 'Unfortunately, the gap between us is a year and ten months, so with my current growth rate, unless something changes, I won't even be level 4 by the time Brandon comes around.'
Propping myself up on my little elbows and using my crib as a backdrop, I switched from my Status Panel to my Stats Panel.
