[Ding!]
[System Booting... System Updating..]
[Time: 10 seconds..]
[10..9..7..4...2...1..]
[Ding! Hello Host, This is the Normal System]
Was what Yuu heard inside his mind. The clear cold voice that came afterwards further confirmed that he could hear it in his MIND! Like telepathy or transmitting thoughts. Afterwards, he was confused as he had not wished for a system.
'System, Why are you with me? I never wished for you?' A very confused Yuu conversed inside his mind as he tried to get his answer through telepathic conversations.
[Host is restricted from knowing]
The System automatically replied.
Yuu was dismayed at the answer, because a System could backstab in some of the memories he has. So he obviously thought of his worries.
'System, are you going to backstab me one day..?' Yuu asked with trepidation.
[Host can rest assured. I won't backstab you. Even if I did, I would not lie to an inferior creation such as a human]
The system replied with the same cold voice finishing off with some disdain..?
Yuu threw those thoughts away as it is only a System programmed with code and not a sentient being along with his fear of betrayal from the System, nonetheless he will still be wary for now.
'System show me your functions.' Yuu requested.
Immediately after the message got through, a blue holographic screen appeared in front of his eyes. However, if anyone was here, it would be invisible to them. The text were all golden, standing out dazzlingly.

'System, how can I unlock the locked functions?' Yuu inquired.
[System Updates, Host]
'How can I make you update in the future?'
[Host is restricted from knowing. Advice: Figure it out yourself]
'...I hope it's not too hard..' Yuu sighed as he prayed for the requirements not to be absurd. Even if he had very strong abilities, he still needs to lay his foundation and get stronger to use them at their peak power.

"Haa...Haa.." Yuu panted as he leaned his small body on a tree. Yuu's four limbs were sore from crawling across the ground for ten minutes, just to get to the other side of where he found the bushes containing berries.
Yuu felt like crying, lamenting at the fact his body was basically a baby not even two days old. Luckily, he didn't give up halfway to rest as he felt his sore soft limbs kept regenerating, which in turn made them stronger each time as well as faster.
'System, is there a way you can autopilot my body until a certain age while my consciousness can explore my abilities?' Yuu questioned because first, he doesn't have to live the life of a baby if it can and second, he could learn and explore more of his newfound powers, familiarizing with them.
[It is possible. Does host want to activate autopilot mode?]
'Go ahead.' Yuu confirmed.
[Host is required to fill in the amount of time System should autopilot until]
'Hmm... Let's go with until the age of 8. Also, System, try to train my body once it can handle pressure if you can.' Yuu thought for a bit before choosing a not too much nor little time, just perfectly half of how many years before Kaguya would probably descend.
[Affirmative... Autopilot mode activated... Host's consciousness of body fading...]
As Yuu heard the System keep announcing the actions it was doing, he suddenly no longer felt his body. He instantly started to panic. After all, mostly when people do not feel their body is either it is paralyzed or you are dying/dead.
(A/N: Only reasons I could think of.. so... if you guys know more, post and I'll add)
After a long time, his mind started to calm down. He assumed that he is probably something like a consciousness currently, basically his mind but without access to a body.
Although he was in his spiritual-like form, he still knew how to use his abilities, even if he couldn't use half of them since they more suited for power within whole body and whatnot. He quickly got to work and dived into (Access All Knowledge in Omniverse), to search suitable techniques and methods for him.
He first wanted to look for both an offensive, defensive and life-saving cultivation method that also made him more stronger every time he advances.
You never know if your instant regeneration may be stopped, so why not get something that could do the same thing but also many other things? It can basically become an all-rounder cultivation method, allowing his prowess to leap higher than his peers, not that he probably already is starting to.
