The sudden jump-scare caused me to scream, and the unfortunate rush of baby emotions led me to begin crying causing my mom to jump up and seemingly tell off the overgrown lizard, which led to me hearing a slow, almost sad pitter patter sound as it scampered away.
As I regained control of my baby emotions, I felt embarrassed at the realization that despite the missing memories I, someone that should have the mental maturity of a 20-year-old, just cried in fear. "Well, I'm a baby right now anyway, and this body is definitely influencing my mind, so this has got to be excusable… isn't it?"
At that moment, an interface appeared before my eyes:
Soul Progression activated:
[Name: XXXXX] [Race: Human] [Status: Wet] [Attributes: Strength 0.15, Constitution: 5, Vitality: 3, Agility: 0.25, XXXXX: X]
[Abilities: [Soul Progression], [Steady], [Quirky Taste], [Cosmic Whiplash], [Structured Mind], [XXXX XXXXXXXX]].
"Am I hallucinating...?" "Well, then again after the crazy series of events I just went through I can't see how this wouldn't be possible…" I closed my eyes, yet still I can see the interface before me just as clear as before I had closed them. "Hmm it seems to be displaying in my mind as well." I looked over the interface, It says Soul Progression is activated, I wonder if that's what's causing this…" I said while focusing my attention on the words [Soul Progression] in Abilities. Another interface appeared in my mind:
[Soul Progression – God Tier Ability: Quantifies and displays all attributes and abilities allowing for infinite growth potential]
"So all that information displayed on the other interface are describing me? As I focused my attention to the other interface the Soul Progression interface disappeared. "Ah didn't mean to do that… well I guess let's start here… name is XXXXX? Is that really even a name or does this thing just not know my name? And Race is Human… I wonder if that means there's other intelligent life out there…" I quickly ignored the Status clause and looked over my attributes. "Strength is 0.15? Dang I'm really weak… well then again, I'm a baby so these stats make sense for now, but this better not be saying that these are what I will be as an adult. Also, I don't even know what attributes the average person--" My thoughts were interrupted when a hearty voice resounded from the doorway of the room.
A man with a rough, military build stood in the doorway, he rushed to greet us lifting my mom off the ground with me helplessly clinging on for dear life in tow. I can tell based on my mom's interaction with him and their regular gestures at me that he must be my father. "That's right… I don't remember seeing him at my birth and he hasn't been around until now… but their relationship seems to be in good shape, so I wonder where he's been." I thought to myself while watching them swoon over each other. I quickly grew frustrated with my inability to understand a word they were saying, "It's too much of a disadvantage not knowing what's being discussed. I need to focus on learning how to at least understand what they are saying as soon as possible."
