This is boring... It's been a week already since I started this agony and it hasn't even gotten better... except I've grown a bit but it seems to be only stat wise.
But hey, eating and sleeping all day can't be so bad right?
Haah... The others don't even let me learn anything. But I guess I am still a 1 week old child. Unless of course, I do something to prove my intellect!
"yeh! Esaelp evig taht kcab!" 2 of the larger children seem to have taken something from the younger one... I'm not sure why but I feel Dvaldva was greatly lacking inspiration, I mean, The language Astraloidens use is English but reversed... And Only The Words!
Although it did take some time getting used to I can understand what most people are saying.
Anyway, lunch should be around now so-
As I was thinking this my mother and a few other women came into the room, My mother came over to me and picked me up. It feels nice being so small next to something that loves you...
And aside from that, I've discovered that we are indeed in an airship. Apparently this has been a ten year voyage set off to a far off 'country' to settle diplomatic issues...
As for the reason my mother and father spend so little time with me is because for 1 astraloidens don't have such culture to spend too much time with their own children and for second they are both very busy, my father is known as a guardian with his job being to protect the ship from any and all threats.
As for my mother, she is an alchemist, making every potion and brew necessary to quickly recover for the mages and guardians.
Ah, we were back in our room already and I was being fed, I guess I got lost in tough...
Aside from that, I guess I'll sleep again...
...
3 Days later... And I'm ten! days old...
Good lord I didn't imagine it to be this bad but... Something has indeed happened, I'm currently being taken somewhere I've never been before, It looks like a library with many books except it's all quite compact due to the Ship being as it is.
In the middle stood a man I've only seen once or twice before, he had long upright horns with dark blue hair, unlike usually it didn't glow, his eyes were the opposite thought, glowing like flashlights you could even see the light created by them!
His scales were also weirdly... altered so to speak?
[You are being appraised, block? Y/N]
[No]
Ive been brought here for a reason so blocking an incoming appraisal would be... weird, especially since I shouldn't have any abilities... Hold on, can he see the otherworlder titles? Haah... this may be weird...
"So this is the one huh? What a cute little child he is!" The man spoke and I understood it quite well, I'm not sure if it's because I have nearly learned the language or because of his skill but... He appraised me so I can appraise him right?
At least... That's what I'm assuming Wisdom can do.
[Wisdom! Appraise!]

I'm not very good at numbers, especially with other peoples but this is quite good, he is powerful, although there are some questionable things like Demon and Charisma it should be fine right?
"You really are transparent, it is fascinating tough... Someone gaining such level of Favour from the goddess..."
Right, I forgot but my I am slightly transparent and that's what bothers everyone.
My mother went over to a chair and sat down with me on her lap, dad went to get a chair and sat next to us, as for this Yerffej he created a chair out of Magic!
It seems to be the obsidian magic as the chair looked like a pure black stone, smooth and polished despite being just made!
"I can see your fascinated by magic. Not that you would have seen any yet." He's right, despite spending a week in this world the most ive seen is children teleporting around... I should try that soon...
"So, are you satisfied now that you've seen him?" My mother asked a while being quite defensive.
"Not. One. Bit. Satisfied!" He spelled it out in a way no one could mistake that he wanted to stay here for a while... He looks like a chatty person...
"You see, most creatures don't exceed an intelligence of 3 when born yet not only did this child have ten times the usual he also has a unique title and skill! How could I not be interested?" While saying this he brought over some weird, gelatinous candy... it looks delicious and I want it! But I doubt they-
As I was thinking that my mother gave me one... I Devoured it and received something unexpected... IT TASTES LIKE MANGO!
What is with everything being weird here? First milk and 'apple' taste like coconut and then candy tastes like mango! This isn't even the tropics! This is a Cosmic field of floating islands!
"So what do you say about me becoming his teacher?" I think I missed something but it would be nice to have him teach me magic. Looking at him again His cheek scales were surprisingly big, even compared to dads... although still the size of a thumb.
"But why do you want to do it now? Won't you teach everyone in 5 years anyway?" My father asked a good question, despite looking like a dunce only devouring candy he asked something I wanted to know, School in this species starts at 5 years and ends at 10! Why? Cause there's not much to teach and skills may as well cover everything!
"Multiple reasons really! One of them is because I feel like it!"
Definitely a reliable person, he feels like it so he does it! Amazing...
"Alright then you may teach him."
Huh wait Mom! I'm only 10 days old how do you expect me to- I Haven't Even Tried Walking Yet!
Wait! Wait! Don't but me on the floor! I-
...
I'm standing... Hey, I can Stand! I try to walk forward and I did it! I previously couldn't even lift myself yet now I can do this! After taking a few steps I realize I can walk pretty well too!
Let's look at my stat sheet since it wasn't this easy before!

Huh, the most noticeable thing is all my stats have increased, And... One of the skill points is missing. Along with that my titles have become one...
[Wisdom! What happened?]
[Due to your Increased fear, 1 skill point was used to unify your titles into a superior one therefore allowing you to do more actions such as walking]
I see... you didn't even ask me this time!
[that is due to Dvaldva confirming it]
Hah, so she controls the system and the system controls me huh?
"Well aren't you an amazing child, walking already, come here!" He wants me to come over to him but I'm not sure if I want to, looking back at mom she nods and tells me to go on...
Slowly walking and making sure not to fall I end up next to his leg before making the classic 'up' children do. After picking me up I sat in his lap and...
[Mana detection level 1 acquired]
[Mana detection has reached Lv2]
Aaarrggg! That hurt! This skill is like a new sense in itself! Well it kind of is. Now I can see things like mana... And Yerffej looks like a mountain of Moving and glowing sand!
Weird, it looks kind of tasty...
Now then let's turn it off since it's pretty painful to look at.
"Well now, gaining a skill just by getting closer to me huh? This is getting better and better." He had a surprisingly warm smile now.
Eh? My parents left!?
"Now then, time to start teaching you!" The warm smile turned into a slightly more cruel one...
