Like nothing, a year passed for the Safi household. Currently Mareem and Sera were celebrating Eleos' first birthday.
'Ugh, do I seriously have to put up with this. To dress me up and present me like this. It's unbearable.' What Eleos was referring to was the silly hat his parents put on him. He wore a decorated cone hat with a fluffy tip. In short it was a birthday hat.
"Let's cut the cake now!" Said Mareem as he sliced the small cake.
"Do you think Eleos wants some?" Asked Sera.
"Maybe, let's see… here comes the airplane!"
"No! Not again!" Exclaimed Sera as she blocked Mareem from feeding their son.
"*Nervous Laugher* Ah, I had almost forgotten." Mareem said sheepishly.
'Forgotten my bum!' thought Eleos, 'In the past year you've choked me ten times at least! I'm beginning to think you're trying to kill me'
"Now honey, let's not do that today, alright." said Sera, "Now since it's a special day today I'll let that little fumble go."
'Thank the gods!' thought Mareem, while he said, "What did I ever do to win over a kind lady such as yourself"
"Well as you've said before, you are a lady killer after all"
"*Shock* You remembered that!"
"Of course, how could I ever forget something that ridiculous my love"
'And as always these two go off on a tangent and forget all about little old me' thought Eleos.
'I guess it does give me time to practice what I've been working on the past year'
'Stats'
[Stats]
[Level] - 1
[Health] - 7
[Strength] - 1
[Speed] - 1
[Stamina] - 1
[Magic Power] - 0
[Magic Essence] - 0
[Ki] - 10
[Ki Control] - 40
My base stats have increased naturally as I have grown. And through intense meditation and focus I've been able to raise the capacity of my Ki by 5 points. This may not seem like much but it's double what I started with so for now that's immense progress. Now one might ask how I figured out how to raise my Ki and I would understand that. All I had to do was focus all my Ki into my Ki center, while my body absorbed Ki from my surroundings. Then when I could no longer hold it, I released all the energy at once so that my body was filled to the brim with the extra Ki. Then I would pull the new Ki into my center and incorporate it into my body. It was quite simple for a genius like me to figure it out.

- The system apologizes for the Host's behavior -
'Whatever'
Anyway as I raised my Ki with this method it naturally came with the benefit of raising my Ki Control. So now with a little effort I can move my Ki into different parts of my body. In the future this might be quite useful in combat. Though I still have yet to test the true limits of Ki due to my condition. I am only one years old after all.
'Are these two still arguing?'
"Please forgive me baby. I know I was mistaken before!"
'What's with all these pet names?'
"Hmph"
"Don't 'Hmph' me… wait I didn't mean it like that"
"Oh now you said it mister"
And like this my Birthday was spent stuck in an argument. Granted, for me it was entertaining, but I don't think the amount of times they argue is healthy at all. And I don't really understand how it happens but they always end up making up and kissing at the end. 'I truly have strange parents' I thought to myself.
When I was finally put to bed my parents kissed my forehead and dimmed the lights. Then when they went to bed and after I waited a while for them to go to sleep, my top secret operation began.
I crawled out of my crib ungracefully and landed on the floor with a loud *Bang*
'*Cringe* I really hope they didn't hear that'
I waited five minutes to listen for their foot steps but I heard nothing.
'Ok let's get on with what I've been training for!'
I began to crawl!
I know, I know. It seems like a simple task, but for me this is a real achievement. I've been practicing since birth. Eventually after arduous work I gained the [-Movement Skill-Crawl-]. So now I can easily move around the house and safely explore.
Eventually I happen upon a room with a few bookshelves and a desk.
'Looks like a study. Perfect'
I take a look at the books I can actually reach and it looks like there is no level of organization at all. Why'd they put a cookbook next to a book about basic magic spells. Speaking of which that seems interesting I'd better read it.
I reach to grab it and pull… nothing… then I pull again… again nothing.
'ARE YOU SERIOUS! I'M NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO PICK UP A SIMPLE BOOK!'
Ok I'm going to try a different one, hmm, this book of maps looks a lot smaller.
Luckily this book was a lot lighter than the last so I easily pull it off the bookshelf.
'Let's see what this world is like'
As I read through the book I am filled with shock.
'What the hell type of world did I travel to, seriously'
To explain when I turned to the first page of the book there was a picture of nine planets. In between the planets there were many large asteroids and even a multitude of dwarf planets.
The first entry read like this, {The realm of Alturie brims with life, which lives on the central nine planets. This life even extends to many of the planetoids(which do have atmospheres) often mistaken as asteroids, and extends to the dwarf planets. There are countless of these spacial bodies, not even all have been discovered by now.
As humans we occupy the third planet named Rya, after the hero who saved the human race from the Saarath, and founded the Celestea Church, which still stands today after a thousand years. Our planet is fairly safe but it is not without its troubles. My other book on the beasts of Rya covers this topic.}
'Do they have this book'
I searched for it but came up empty handed.
'If they did I wouldn't even be able to find it with this mess'
'Anyway, I'm going to continue reading…'
