Chapter 7 - Building Strength, One Point At A Time

[ System AUTOMATA is ready for use ]

As the window appeared before his eyes, the newborn baby found himself mesmerized by the colorful and dynamic display.

He could see some gibberish written on it. He couldn't make sense of it all, but the bright colors and flashing symbols kept him captivated nonetheless.

The baby's eyes drifted over the various stats, each one a mystery to him. He saw his level displayed as 0, but he didn't know what that meant.

He saw his Agility, Strength, Intelligence, and Mana Power also listed as 0, and HP as 100 but he didn't know what those words meant either.

As his tiny fingers reached out to touch the screen, he saw other categories such as "stamina," "attribute", and "skills", but he couldn't comprehend their significance.

Besides his name, the screen showed a title as "None," which only added to the confusion. The baby continued to giggle and coo, completely oblivious to the meaning of the numbers and symbols before him.

All he knew was that he was fascinated by the bright colors and moving images, and the gentle voice that sometimes whispered in his ear.

Suddenly, a small voice echoed in his ears, "Task for the day: 1. Sleep for 18 hours, 2. Drink milk from mother, 3. Pee and poo, 4. Cry and laugh. Upon completion, one point will be given to each task."

The task for the day:

1. Sleep for 18 hours

2. Drink milk from the mother

3. Pee and poo

4. Cry and laugh

(Upon completion of each task, one point will be awarded to the corresponding stats.)

-----------------------------------------------

Hee-Joon couldn't understand what the voice was saying, but he felt a sense of comfort hearing it. As he lay there, he realized that he was feeling hungry and thirsty. He started to cry and his mother came to him, offering her breast for him to drink. As he drank, he felt a sense of warmth and safety wash over him.

After he finished drinking, he felt the urge to pee and poo. He didn't know how to do it, but his body knew. He felt relieved after he was done and started to giggle.

Hee-joon spent most of his day sleeping and eating, and as he woke up from his long naps, he would cry and laugh, as the system reminded him to complete his tasks.

Although he didn't understand what the tasks were, he knew that he had to do them. It was as if he was born with a purpose, and completing these tasks made him feel a sense of accomplishment.

As the tiny AI voice announced the completion of each task, the newborn baby Hee-Joon was delighted to receive a reward. As he slept for 18 hours straight, he woke up feeling refreshed, and the AI voice notified him that he had earned one point for completing the task.

Next on the list was to drink milk from his mother. Hee-Joon latched onto his mother's breast eagerly, and as he drank, he felt content and happy. Once he was done, the AI voice informed him that he had completed his task and earned another point.

As Hee-Joon's tiny bladder filled up, he felt the urge to pee. With a little help from his mother, he completed the task, and the AI voice awarded him another point. Feeling relieved, he smiled and giggled, not knowing what he had just achieved.

It was time for the final task on the list: cry and laugh. Hee-Joon didn't need any prompting for this one. As he let out a series of loud cries, he felt a sense of satisfaction as the AI voice confirmed that he had completed his task and earned the final point for the day.

As Hee-Joon completed each task successfully, the AI system awarded him a reward. The system notification window displayed his stats, which were all zero except for his newly acquired strength points. The AI system had awarded him four strength points, which brought his strength stat up to four.

As a newborn, Hee-Joon's daily routine was simple and predictable. The first task was to sleep for 18 hours, allowing his tiny body to rest and recharge.

The second task was to drink milk from his mother, a vital source of nutrition for his growing body.

The third task was to relieve himself by peeing and pooing, a natural bodily function that was necessary for his overall health.

The fourth and final task was to express himself by crying and laughing, helping him develop emotional expression and communication skills.

As Hee-Joon completed each task, he received one point for each, which was recorded on the system's dashboard. Though he couldn't quite understand what is going on.

As Hee-Joon drifted off to sleep after a long day of tasks, he couldn't help but wonder what other tasks awaited him tomorrow and what new experiences he would encounter as he continued to grow and develop.
