And so, I finally turned four years old. It was much easier than the first year, if only because I could finally walk and talk, and the most important thing is that I could finally go to the bathroom by myself. Is it just me or did I have some sort of psychological trauma about going to the bathroom? Okay, well, that's not really a big deal.
In those three years I got three System Coins, which made sense since they come once a year. And I also decided not to use them, but to wait and accumulate a little, somewhere up to ten, and then open them all together, maybe the chance of falling out something normal would increase, but as it turned out most likely most of the items that fall out will not be something serious.
Today wasn't anything special, but today was the day I finally decided to check my status, or else I'd really put it off too much. Today could be said to have been a better day than the others.
I didn't have to go to daycare, which I had gone to a year ago in order not to sit at home, but to socialize with people or even maybe make friends, but which naturally didn't happen. Maybe the kids felt that I was somehow different from them, or maybe they just pissed me off and I didn't want to communicate or play with them. Also, the kindergarten was not far and could easily walk to it in ten minutes, which allowed me to come to him myself, and in the evening to take my mother.
Also, what was quite lucky for me that there was a small library, it certainly was a children's and included only children's stories, but it helped me to raise my Japanese skill to a "56" level, which was pretty hard, because with each level rises the value of the experience necessary to improve, well, and of course this is affected by the fact that I was not the smartest books, and so I think I could raise it much faster.
There was also another point that I would have been happy to give up. My mother went to the hospital for her monthly checkup. As the doctors told me, she had an Alzheimer's-type disease that was causing her to start losing some of her memory. One morning she even forgot me and asked fearfully and there was a look of rage in her eyes "Who am I and what am I doing in her house?", it was of course strange to treat a four-year-old like that, but still, also even the system showed that her relationship to me was "-5" which shocked me pretty well, but almost immediately she remembered me.
It was painful to see a family member go through that. Because of this, she had to quit her last job and move to another one that she didn't tell me about. The most frustrating thing was that even the doctors told me that there was nothing to be done about it and you would have to put up with it, and also in the moments when she forgot me it would be better not to say that she was my mother, you could even say that they forbade me to say so, otherwise it might shock her and lead to not the nicest consequences. A nobody to make a long story short. What kind of doctors don't want to fight for a person's life and try to somehow destroy the disease? Even I was a better doctor in my past life than all of them put together.
Also, some of the natural moments began to disappear from her mind. And we both knew that this was just the beginning and would probably only get much worse and most likely reach fatal, because of this, my mother and I tried to spend as much time with each other as possible. I think it would be a hard ordeal for a child, but I'm no ordinary child either and I think Player's Mind can help me too.
(From the author: the wiki says she had symptoms similar to Alzheimer's. So, I think it would be possible to allow for some misdirection.)
But I think there's no need to wallow in sad thoughts, so "Status" and before my eyes appeared an incredibly large window with lots of text, and I already knew immediately that it would be for a long time. Well as they say, the sooner I start, the sooner I finish.
[Status.]
[Name: Yasuke Matsuda]
[Health: 35/35 (Regeneration per hour: 3.5)
[Stamina: 70/70 (Regeneration per minute: 7)]
[Level: 1 (56/100%)]
[Title: None]
[Race: Human/Gamer]
This was the first part of the box I decided to go through in detail, because next to each tab was a "?" sign, which meant the help that was attached to each line. As it was written in this help, "Health" is calculated using a simple formula, namely "strength * endurance", but only pure characteristics. Also having counted the regeneration I realized that in general everything is regenerated about ten and that logically "health" is fully regenerated in ten hours and "stamina" in ten minutes, I do not know how it will look and feel in practice, but in principle everything happens fast.
It was also written that it was possible to increase regeneration through artifacts and skills, which I certainly do not have and probably at this rate will not ever be, but I think it will also be possible to increase the characteristics. I do not know what you get experience, but the level rises in percentage. Also, I did not have any title, so I could not get anything out of it, but it turns out after people start calling me that.
But the only thing I really cared a lot, was the line "Race", if the person was clear, then with a gamer no, but it's worth noting that the help on the man showed that the average characteristic for the man was "100", this certainly does not mean that all the people all around "100", some better some worse in some way. So my "Intelligence" is high for my age. With these proud thoughts I decided to look at "Race: Gamer".
[Race: Gamer].
[Class: Legendary]
[Description: The whole world is a game. With this race you become a game character. You no longer care about physical damage or how much damage it caused you, you can die only if your health level drops to zero. If you have enough health to survive a shotgun blast to the head, you will survive, and after ten hours you will have no external signs of it. You can also level up with experience points and put free points into characteristics. All human limitations have been removed from your body, you have become a being with infinite developmental potential. You no longer need such necessities as sleep or food, the only useful thing you can get out of it is "Bonuses" or moral pleasure].
Well, I now have another "Legendary" and this time it was "Race," which was pretty cool, but didn't give me anything new since that's all I already figured out or knew. It was also written about the "Bonuses", which I have never seen, but I think they get for eating or sleeping, but why I did not get anything like that? Although it may have been because the food was not of the best quality, and the bed I slept on has long been waiting to be trashed.
I was also very confused by the line about "body limitations", as if it was out of place, but the words about me becoming a being with "limitless development potential" gave me a strange feeling that could be described as excitement and pride, as well as a bit of sadness knowing that it would not be so easy and with each level I would have to invest more and more. It's good to see what's next, but I think this time you have to read the reference right away instead of waiting until the end.
[Strength: 5]
[Description: determines the parameter of your physical strength and how much you can lift.]
[You can lift a few kilograms.]

[Bonus: It is so great because you are reborn]
[Intelligence: 34]
[Description: determines your speed of thinking and remembering information.]
[You're pretty good at remembering information for your age.]
[Free Points: 0]
[Description: shows how many free points you have. You get 3 points per level.]
[You don't have any.]
So good... It's quite understandable and those few sarcastic comments dilute the atmosphere a bit, but that fucking luck on "∞" confuses me too much, isn't that too much? But the fact that I don't accidentally die gives some pluses and does it mean that if they point a gun at me and try to shoot me, it will break. And does what's happening now, too, lead me to good fortune, really for quite a while, but how's that supposed to help? Okay, I guess that's a problem for the future.
Also in this part of the window was a help, which I clicked on, after running my eyes over it I realized the basic information that the characteristics can be raised through training and that after each hundred characteristics is obtained some kind of skill. Well, it's all pretty interesting and I can't wait to get my first stats up to "100". The next section was provided for abilities.
[Talents:]
[Ultimate Favorite of Fate and Fortune].
[Description: You have ultimate Luck. If you put some effort and desire, you can use it to control probabilities in your favor]
[Skills:]
[Player Body].
[Description: passive skill that turns the user's body into a character's body, so instead of getting wounded he loses HP, and while he has it he can recover. Your body is not subject to degradation and always stays at its peak].
[Player Mind].
[Description: passive skill that allows the player to remain calm in any situation. Gives full immunity to mental attacks.]
[Skills:]
[Japanese (56)]
[Description: you speak Japanese well and can write in it comfortably.]
Informative, if I may say so, especially "Ultimate favorite of Fate and Fortune" it sounds like something very powerful, but I think I got it because of the "∞" in luck and that word "Ultimate" confuses me in many places, it's something I associate with, but I can't remember exactly what. "Player Body" and "Player Mind" were what I hoped for the most and it didn't let me down, and also their descriptions were you might say familiar. There was only one skill and that was already familiar.
Also, after reading more, I was able to make sense of these divisions by ability. "The only thing I have now is a broken "Luck", but also as I remember in my inventory is a "random Ultimate " and I can get something else, but it's better to open it tomorrow, I'm starting to get a headache, but also something inside my head tells me that the line "All human limitations have been removed from your body, you have become a being with limitless development potential" in the Gamer race will help me get other ultimates.
"Skills" are what I acquire with "Talents" or as in my only case "Race," they cannot be raised because they are already maxed out or there is nowhere to raise it further. This can be compared to "Perfect Sight", "Perfect Taste Recipes" or "Perfect Nails", also here goes everything that appears after 100 in the characteristics, there does not have to be the word "Perfect", but I think the meaning is clear. Also depending on the situation, you can get different skills from them or increase the characteristics, for example "attractiveness + 10" from "Perfect Nails" or skills like "Falcon Eye", which allows you to see from the side or expand the angle of vision, from "Perfect Vision", but already in this case all this should be trained in the skills.
"Skills" already included abilities that could be pumped up, like my one skill "Japanese Language", or for example "Basketball Game" and "Drawing Skills". So that sounds all interesting, but I still don't understand why there are three whole categories.
I also just now noticed that the level of my only skill and my experience are suspiciously similar, so maybe my level is raised by improving skills, but that will be tomorrow, because the time that was highlighted in front of my eyes showed "01:48" and it's time to go to sleep.
My tired thoughts flashed through my head, and then I walked over to my bed, which creaked a few times under my slight weight and made myself comfortable. The last thoughts I had in my head were that I should turn off my hunger and desire to sleep.
