Year 0 of the Human Calendar - Holy Land of Xue - Bedroom of Linjian
(Max? What does that mean?)
I have an idea, but I hope it is not that.
[...It means that you have reached your level cap]
(Level cap?)
[Your Mind experience cant reinforce your body anymore]
Does that mean that...
(I...cant increase my level anymore?)
[Yes... there is nothing I can do about it]
So this is my limit.
Will it be enough? enough to defeat an immortal? enough to change the world?
*grip*
I clench my fists as a reaction from my uneasiness.
[You aren't weak]
Maria notices my change in emotions.
[As a reaction to reaching the maximum output in both Mind experience and Body experience, the Book of Appraisal created the state Healthy mind in a healthy body increasing your defenses]
I shouldn't worry her.
(That is right, it will take at least a Jade rank cultivator to hurt me now)
[That is the spirit]
It still worry me, but this will not stop me.
[Remember that the level isn't everything. Skills and preparation are the key to victory in every RPG]
...
I get out of my house after opening the door and I see Usain running to this house.
"Master!" Usain
To avoid mistreatment against him, I made him my disciple. Even though I almost never teach him anything.
"What is wrong Usain?" Linjian
I detect a sense of urgency in him but don't one of danger.
"It is Yue!" Usain
Did the time come?
"Is she..." Linjian
"Her baby is coming!" Usain
I run to their house forgetting everything else.
...
...
I received the baby in case something happened but it didn't needed me to use any trick. It was a smooth delivery.
"Whhhaaaaa" baby of Yue and Tang
It was a good scream.
"It is a healthy girl" Linjian
"A girl, did you hear Yue? it is a girl!" Tang
Tang was so happy that his face didn't have enough movement to express it. His lips resemble a half-moon, his eyebrows were at the limit and his eyes were shining.
"Our little girl" Yue
The smile in the face of the woman in the bed did not lose against his.
I pass the baby to her as I ask.
"Are you sure you want me to name her?" Linjian
They asked me beforehand.
"Yes, please" Yue
"We want you to do it" Tang
A name for the firstborn in this land, a name for the wishes of tomorrow, a name for a happy life.
"A name that means light, a new light to this new world" Linjian
[I do believe that is a good name]
"Hikari Lynn, that will be her name" Linjian
It is a name from a world without cultivators. A name I asked Maria to help me find.
"Hikari Lynn" Yue and Tang
[Surely they think it's a weird name, but I guess they're used to it by now]
...
...
The morning of the day after, I visited her again to see how they were.
"Good morning Yue, how are you doing?" Linjian
"Good morning master, I am doing very good" Yue
We spoke softly because the baby was sleeping.
"It does not bother you to be standing?" Linjian
I know that the system gives her strength, but it still worried me.
"I am fine, I could go hunting right now" Yue
"Please don't" Tang
Tang spoke as they are holding hands in front of the baby's cradle.
"Of course I wont...for now" Yue
"..." Tang
"..." Linjian
[...Lets use Appraisal in the baby]
(...Why not?)

[Hmmm, there is new stuff here]
(Evolution again?)
[It seems that way]
(She doesn't have the Book of Appraisal neither the Page of Enlightenment, but she still has the system)
[All of you got the System as adults, so the body had to make a space in the skill slot to keep the system]
(But she was born with it)
[Exactly and because of that her body assimilated the system without any trouble, technically the Page of Enlightenment is still in her body but now it isn't in a skill slot]
(And what is this Until puberty thing)
[Not having a slot, the System will have to grow like any other part of her body]
(So she will remain at level 0 until she is 11 or 12 years old?)
[Yes, and there may be more to this evolution]
(...)
"Well, I will go bring new people now. Take care you three" Linjian
"We will" Yue and Tang
"..." Hikari
As I get close to the door, I turn my head to see the happy couple looking at the sleeping baby in the cradle.
(If Hikari was born in a cultivator family... no, lets not think about that)
[This is why you are fighting for, the change you want for the world]
A world where parents care about their children, a world of smiles of love, a world of peace.
(It doesn't matter the level cap, the skill slots or any other limit. I will protect this, with my life if necessary)
I leave the house to fight the world once again.
