Baptism is sort of godly birth registration where god will add the person to the system of experience and reward. The work you do gains you experience and the experience is turned into reward by the system created by the gods and baptism is adding your details into this system and connecting you to it. The baptism/registration is done between the age of 5 to 10 for all kids. Other than dragons, pheonix and monsters all the races have to go through this to use skills. Dragons and pheonixes are registered automatically on birth and monster have to reach a certain level to get registered automatically. Having bloodlines other than dragon and pheonix as well Arthur and Eleanor also have to go through baptism.
Arthur was way too busy until now trying to guess the reasons behind the nightmares that he had totally forgotten about this.
"aamm... Big sis, what does the status window look like? " He asked his sister.
"Lil bro, you haven't seen a status window yet? Don't worry I will show you mine while we are eating. Good Morning everyone" She said as they reached the dining table where everyone was already there waiting for them. Arc followed her example and greeted everyone.
"Ah... Good Morning both of you. Arc, where you able to sleep properly? " Julia asked with concern in her eyes. Her child had suffered a lot since he was born because of some stupid nightmares who wouldn't leave him alone. Seeing him struggle and unable to do anything to help him caused her a lot of pain.
"Yes mother, I slept very well last night. I have already gotten used to the nightmares. " He replied to her as he sat down on his chair with his sister beside him and maids started serving breakfast.
All the adults looked at each other. They heard from Sebastian that when Arc woke up he had marks of tears at side of his eyes and glass of water kept besides him was empty. A sign that he wokeup crying again but to stop his family from worrying to much he said that he slept well. The child was feeling guilty to make them worry too much which made the adults feel even worse.
"Here Arc I will show you my status window... Open Status. Wait Close Status." Eleanor opened her her status window for her brother but immediately closed it again. Arthur was confused as everyone started stifling their giggles and Big sis's face turned red.
Eli cursed gods for giving her that title and regreted showing it to her mother. When she first got her baptism done at the age of ten she naively asked her mother the meaning of Brother-con, which appeared in her titles. She wasn't bro-con, she just loved her brother. Her mother had laughed and didn't tell her the meaning and asked her to find it on her own. Which she did, two years later but it was already too late as her mother had already spilled the beans in front of everyone in the family.
Alban wasn't able to completely suppress his giggles and laughed lightly causing all of the adults to turn towards him with a look which clearly spoke 'Better to be Bro-con than lolicon' Alban's shoulder droped with guilt.
"I didn't tell you the basics." She tried to change the topic. "You see when you say 'Status', the window you see can only be seen by you and when you say 'Open Status', the window can be seen the people whom you wish to show it to. Not everyone but those you wish to show it to. Then saying 'Open Status ID', will open a seperate window everyone can see. You can decide what info you want to put in status id. Usually everyone puts their name, title, age, though women don't show it until asked for specifically and for something important, gender and race. It is the most basic type of identification method."
"Status" She said and looked at her brother. "You can't see it right."
Arthur shook his head to say no.
She willed all her titles to hide except 'Eli' and then.
"Open Status"
Arthur felt that the status window looked quite plain, but remembering the god, Rach saying that it was just way to make info appear orderly fashion he understood that status window was more of an official paper that a gaming screen. It looked like a translucent blue glass with info written on it in portrait layout. There were dropdown button for stats and some of her skills.

She had a good number of skill and the skill she was most proud of was the 'Phoenix Fire of Revival'. A SSS rank skill and possibly one of the only few to reach this rank. SSS can be called strongest as EXTREMITY is a rank that only exit in legends. 'Phoenix Fire of Revival' is a fire based healing skill which could be used as both passive and active skill. It could heal pretty much every kind of injury and even revive the owner from death by activating immediately after death as long as there is enough mana.

"Here only the info I put will appear, for example, my race does not have pheonix in it and also as you can see I have not put my age in it. Women don't tell their age. "
Adults smiled at her remark.
"You little, you cannot be considered a woman yet. You are not even 15." Beryl rebuked Eli. In their world a child is considered to have entered adulthood at the age of 15.
"I am not little. Arc is the one whoes little." Eli grumbled. "Close Status, Close Status ID"
Adults laughed at her and started eating.
Arthur ignored them. He was very excited as he was going to get his own status window today.
"Why are there question marks in your race? " He asked.
"oh.... That let me explain." Albion said. "When people of two different bloodlines mate there are three possible outcomes. One, the child with be born with one of the bloodlines. Two, the will have both bloodlines activated. Three, the most unlucky one, the child would activate neither of the two bloodlines. Now if you have the bloodlines present and active it will show in your status but if it's present but not active then it will show question marks. "
"Our Lancelot family has always been lucky to never have the third case. It's in our blood and even if we get it, it is similar to Eli's case where there are other bloodlines present. In simple words Eli has one of our bloodlines which is not activated but since she has pheonix bloodline all other bloodlines hardly matter. Well anything else? "
"What level does it start from?" He nodded his head and asked.
"Level 1, obviously. " Eli was surprised why her intelligent brother was asking something so obvious.
"ehh.... Big sis, you are Level 25. Is it that easy to level up? " Arthur knew that his sister got her baptism done when she was 10 yrs old but now she was already Level 25. 25 Levels in 4 yrs!
