'Sweet!'

All of a sudden, Zeke felt a subtle change in his senses. His vision became sharper, his hearing got a bit more sensitive, his sense of smell seems to have improved, and although he hadn't felt it, he guessed that his sense of taste should have also improved. He felt interested in this ability that could actually improve his physical body. Just what is the limit of this?

As Zeke was thinking, he suddenly lost strength in his legs. He fell down with his butt first and he felt a slight pain over there. His parents seem to not mind it much, as they just sat there smiling while slowly clapping.

"Amazing! Who would've thought that we'll give birth to a super genius! It seems he inherited my intellect, hun."

"Yes, I am quite surprised too. Normally, it would take more than 6 months before a baby could walk, but our son actually did it while only 4 months old! Also, aren't you being haughty now? I'm also a genius back then, so he might have gotten most of his talent from me!"

"Hmph! I was also talented when I was a kid! I always beat you whenever we have a spar, it's obvious that I got the brains and you only have brawns!"

"If I'm only brawns, then why would Father let me inherit his seat? Don't you think it's because of my brains too?"

"Hmph! Nevermind all that, I'm more talented than you, and that's final! I'm going to cook our lunch now, accompany our son for a bit" Catherine let our her tongue for a bit before going to the kitchen.

The serious Charles let out a long sigh, and he looked like a defeated general in a war. There was also a trace of helplessness on his face, as if he can't refute his wife's words. Zeke never thought he would see his stern father look like this. It seems family really is a kryptonite for even the greatest men.

Zeke soon shifted his focus to the quest. He felt his senses improved, but he didn't know where the xp went. The interface also disappeared for a minute after it showed and he didn't know how to make it show up, making him feel a bit helpless. How can he use it if he didn't know how to see it?

As if the system knew his thoughts, an interface appeared.

'What the fuck kind of ability is this? I don't even know how this works and I even need to do a quest just to learn how this system works?'

Zeke grumbled inwardly. He was slowly seeing the system as something foreign, an ability or power that's not his. Who would even want a power that they themselves don't even know how to use it?

However, as much as Zeke hated it, it was still something he wished, and he can't blame anyone but himself for wanting a 'progressive skill'. Besides, it gave Zeke something to work hard on. Life as an infant would be boring if the system didn't give challenges to Zeke and for him, having a goal in his mind would make his infant life more bearable.
