'Beside my intelligence being accurate my skills and techniques are pretty decent, I hop I can synthesize them later because knowing me I'll Have a stock pile of them sooner or later.'
My intrest was suddenly peeked by recalling being rewarded 500 stat points form the system, especially the 8,000 points I accumulated without my knowledge.
"System what's the purpose behind the stat points exactly? Are they just to increase stats because I thought we were trying to lay low."
'I'll be a few steps away from Saitama, if I throw all these points in strength. Of course that's only a fraction of my previous self's power.'
[...Stat points can be used for stats but each stat has a limit to how much points can be inserted, stat points main use are for purchasing items in the System Store...]
"Can I access the store now?"
[...System store will remain locked due to host still being a infant, System store will be accessible in terms of emergency or until Host has hatched...]
"Right, and here I was thinking you were making this to easy for me." Even though I said that I couldn't hide my disappointment.
All in due time Xirius.
But looking back at the status screen, I couldn't help but look over my skills and techniques again.
The techniques that caught my eye was from my former life which were Soul Crush, Spirit Fists, Soul Chains, Force Evolution, and lastly Body Modification.
Soul Crush, This ability allows the users soul to overwhelm their opponents weaker soul, Crushing their will and even damaging their life span. If the users soul is Stronger than the opposition, then they're capable of shattering it entirely.
Spirit Fists, This technique focuses on damaging and crippling their opponents Spiritual Circuits, creating a phantom pain depending on the spiritual pressure put behind each punch; it leaves no physical wounds behind only suffering.
Soul Chains are self explanatory on their own, the chains protrude from the user's soul attacking their opponents or restricting them, the chains may also drain their vitality and if the user's will is strong enough, they're capable of taking their life force.
Force Evolution, this technique is rather risky and supremely painful due to the extreme changes done to every cell of the user, but with Body Modification the effects are more bearable. In order for both techniques to succeed one must understand Anatomy and Genetics.
Force Evolution allows one to further evolve they're race to its peak existence or to its lowest, as well as change to a different branch of species entirely; only requiring mass and energy to start.
Body Modification is like plastic surgery, just without the plastic. As long as there's mass and energy in the user's body, you'll be capable of shapeshifting into perfect replicas of your target or a creation of ones own imaginings.
Both are universally useful, yet both recquire mass and energy efficiency to complete several transformations. This leaves the user drained of nutrients and electrolytes which then in turn leads to their death, the method I used to avoid that outcome was to devour the target I would change into or eat a three course meal in my pocket dimension.
After going over my old skills I drew my attention back to my Spiritual and Psionic cultivation paths.
'It seems I'll be making progress look more like a joke than a slow yet tedious process, as it should be.' As I said this with a smug grin.
My gaze then shifted to the Magic cultivation path, to my surprise I'm slowly gaining experience, although I didn't remember why.
"System is there something you're doing that I've clearly shelved away in my mind to which I can't recall?" I was bit befuddled
[...Earth Manipulation particles was silently cast around Host to increase security measures...]
[...Probability of host mastering the Magic cultivation path through system is extremely high...]
"Sure why not, I can do the other two in my sleep if I have to. Please focus on leveling up to the max for now, also reframe from startlingly my parents out there."
The system immediately went to work casting silent spells so my parents wouldn't notice as for me, I called it a night and held my sister in my arms once again.
'Zahra...'
Even though I bedded 64 of my wife's and shired 533 children through out my life time, I watched them come and go. Yet my heart could never allow myself to give up on forging bonds and pursing love, it's the only true joy I have left to live for, other than my ambition to challenge it all.
For now baby steps, because by the time the sunsets tomorrow three new bridges will enter my life and they will be the first three to welcome me into this world.
I waited 5 years in isolation I can wait a few more hours, I'll enjoy getting to know my new home and family.
'The world can wait for my debut...'

[...Ding...]
[...Ding...]
[...Magic cultivation path has been maxed out, host can now upgrade to the advanced level...]
[...As for host and siblings incubation period, it has reached it's final stages with no signs of abnormalities. Due to your accelerated growth you both shall need 16hrs to recuperate before hatching...]
I was unable to answer the system's routinely check up, because I was to busy waking up to the worst hangover in my second life. Once again the system neglected another variable.
It topped the one my previous life's hangover horrendously, I should know because the day before that was when I took the life of my 378th Child Martial.
I rather not talk about that day...
"System why do I feel like shit...ugh" Just mustering up the strength to say that sentence alone probably killed a few brain cells.
[...Apologises host, I didn't take into account the level of pain the migraines would have affect on you...]
"No SHÍT!!! You didn't!"
Before I could start my tiered, I abruptly felt a shivering little angel in my arms.
'Big brother my hea-...gah!' Apparently my twin sister seems to be sharing my dilemma as well, all she did was sob in my embrace while in constant pain.
'Poor thing...Aaah Damnit!'
"SYSTEM! Place us in momentary stasis, Ah...for the next 16hrs on migraine relief." I had to say each word between gritted teeth.
Xova when you get back, we're having the talk of the century!
I couldn't help but curse in every language and insult I heard over the millennia that was directed towards me by my ancient but very dead foes, right back at the system.
[...Stasis engaged along with pain cancelling emitters, rest well...]
"You...Bìtch!"
Just like that everything became a blur, the pain faded and the dreams seeped in to both my sisters dreams and mine. One thing's for certain, the system needs a diagnostic check or some serious reprogramming before I lose my shít.

<< Meridian Continent, Southern Border Town Nesalton of The Human Kingdom of En'daliea>>
The border town can be found 3 kilometers northwest of Mount Vackron which the locals dubbed Wyverns Peak, the town Nesalton was slowly waking up, with sounds of the morning rooster's crowing and shop owners preparing their goods for the day.
Entering the town as you pass the guard post, you can quickly assume by the thatch roofers and clay housing that the less fortunate dwell here. Many of the inhabitants seemed well fed but at a second glance, a few showed signs of malnourishment.
Several children played merrily in the streets while multiple children were seen begging for bread or helping with the daily chores for they're parents.
Further to the center of the town you'll come across well built wooden homes that was enchanted to protect their owners from the elements outside. In these homes properly dressed Middle class men, women, and children were just getting ready to go about their day.
What stood out more were the heavily armed and Magical equipped men and women of different races walking towards a large stone brick building, near what seems to be a church.
The sign on this particular building bared the name of this establishment, Nesalton Border town's Guild Hall. Inside a camosion took place, gathering the ear of those who was interested to hear of the recent battle that took place a few miles out from the town.
A woman in her early 30s, with a slighty tanned skin, orange wavy hair and lime-green eyes having a mature yet lovely oval face, her height was 6'5ft tall and her figure screamed sex appeal, on a modest level by the soft yet well toned muscular curves to her waist and her voluptuous chest.
But being covered in several well hidden scars as well as heavily enchanted steel lime-green armor matching her eyes along with a white long-sleeved blouse, black trousers and pair of lime-green armored-leather boots, while brandishing a greatsword on her back that had a bluish-tint and towering most men, she was a rather intimidating woman with an intense personality; even the veteran's of the Guild avoided her advancements.
She was standing on a podium recounting her most recent tale to a new batch of spectators, showing off her new battle scars, obviously showing off enough of her gusto to try and impress the young men of the Guild.
Sadly none of them were interested.
"So there we where, me and my group of adventures with several other groups from the Guild were escorting a few caravan Merchants whose cargo was filled to the brim with a plentiful amount of food, clothes, some weapons."
Upon saying this many of those who took part in the escort mission bit they're lips in both shame and frustration, others appeared grief stricken or traumatized by the events retelling in the Guild hall.
Some Guild members even left, unable to take anymore of the woman's boastings of the events that occurred in the battle maiden's story.
"When suddenly out of nowhere, 6 black winged Wyverns descend from the sky and began to decimate our forces, due the suddenness of the ambush many were crushed or clawed into ribbons."
A couple members grimaced while others could only imagine the horrors of seeing a comrade dying so gruesomely beside you and not knowing if they were next.
"As for me and my companions we quickly were able to push the beast back with multiple tier 3 magic constructs like Earth Spears and Earth Walls, as we recoordinate the remaining Guild members to surround each Wyvern."
"But the cunning beast avoided every attack without fear and as time passed they slayed 5 more men with no losses on they're part, everyone was running low on mana and the fear of death was at all time high."
Then the prideful beauty turned into a stern yet unshakable ice queen, before continuing the next half of the story.
"I eventually noticed; I only had a handful of my men left still alive, so I made the difficult call to flee with the remaining adventures and the surviving merchants in toe, hoping to out run our uninvited guests."
"One by one each Guild member fled along side the merchant caravaners, whilst I and my group fended off the Wyverns final push to annihilate us all."
"Then as the last group left, the Wyverns blasted their first volley of fire since the ambush began. As we instinctively took cover behind boulders and trees, the wall of fire separated us from the Wyverns and the caravans."
A dejected sigh left the strong willed beauty's lips, breaking her icy expression.
"Instead of a glorious last stand between foes, the damn lizards ate the horses that fainted from fright and took off with all six carriages and burning the last 4 before taking flight."
Disappointment and frustration was visibly seen on her face for all to bear witness, obviously the battle crazed maiden was dissatisfied for not having a heated battle to the death.
Not many members applauded her story, bitterness, loss, shame, and defeat were all that was felt in the thick atmosphere.
Those feelings rung true in the Guild hall, the other members who didn't encounter the Wyverns felt suffocated by the atmosphere.
On the second floor balcony a man stood leaning on a wooden railing in the shadow of near by pillar, looking over the sour mood of the Guild with furrowed brows.
"Damn Lizards, not only did they attack my adventurers for the fifth time this month! But now they had the gal to attack Nesalton's first supply trade operation."
The man then stood up and walked towards another balcony leading to outside, as he stood firm and crossed his arms he looked into the afternoon sky, pondering the action he shall soon take after such an inexcusable incident took place.
"In a few days the town's folk will be in uproar, blood for blood will be demanded as penance, soon it will be the only line of thought on their minds."
A worried look appeared on the man's pale white face and sorrowful blue eyes, he then stroked his gray goatee as he stared off in the distance where a mountain peering on the horizon.
"Dravein my Student, due you still resent us human's from betraying you so long ago.... Then again, you have every right for revenge.... No, you wouldn't dare have the Wyverns outstretch pass your territory for this." The old man then frowned, as if his past came back to hunt him.
"I'll do what I can to stop further harm to come your way my Beloved Student."
"To prevent your tribe from becoming the figurehead of the Border towns hatred, I'll find the true culprits behind these attacks before I'm forced to take action against you." Determination sprung up the old man's broaden shoulders showing his firm resolve.
"Death or peace is what awaits you now... I'll be seeing you soon my Dearest Student, just you wait." The old man turned around and returned the Guild hall.
