After reading the invitation letter sent by Elara, my mother gave me a series of useful tips on how to deal with Adam's sister when she came.
A summary? Treat her any way you want...literally.
She told me to vent to her when I was stressed, angry, etc.
Honestly, I didn't pay much attention to her and just went to bed, as I hadn't slept at all while waiting for the outcome of yesterday's event.
(He has that broken ability, so I guess he'll be saved somehow).
I thought about the miracle skill, which as the name suggests, can cause miracles at important times, although it has a limit of use, but I guess now that we're in the early stage, it will save his butt in many situations.
I didn't do anything memorable that day.

When I woke up, the first thing I did was check my poor stats.

(Finally, I don't have decimal statistics...).
Theoretically, it's not possible to have that kind of stats in the game; even in mana, you either have 1 point or it just stays at 0.
(Sure, the player's avatar always had 1 mana).
But the other NPCs, those who don't use mana, always stay at 0.
This shows how weak Kylo was.
(I can't see the window of the others either).
Before I got to the party, I tried to see the stat window my stepmom had, which didn't happen.
I guess I'll unlock it in a mission; it was an enthusiastic thought on my part, because if I don't unlock it, the difficulty of this world could go way up.
(Speaking of quests... why hasn't it ended?)
[ Chaos Mission: The Incarnation of Temporal Entropy - In progress ].
I've already greatly changed my fate as Kylo, so this mission should already be solved....
(Did I miss something?)
If you think about it carefully, there's nothing I could do to aggravate the situation, well, yes there would be some, like crying desperately while watching Valeria and Adam hugging each other, or even acting very angry, but I honestly didn't want to go through that embarrassment.
(Let's move on to the most important thing better).
And that's what matters most, the 2 traits I'll equip, since I'm now going to have 2 years of fun (training) with Elara and company, I think the most important thing is to take advantage of all the time I have with those teachers.
Regeneration supercells will be the ideal.
[You have opened the Mysterious Red Gift and obtained: Legendary Trait, Regeneration Supercells (Max)].
[ Regeneration Supercells (Max): Passive recovery-oriented abilities.
Vital Rebirth: The wearer's regeneration supercells can heal from minor injuries to mortal wounds quickly and efficiently, using the wearer's own vitality.
Mana Power: The trait's ability is combined with the wearer's mana, amplifying his healing ability to prodigious levels. By using mana during the healing process, the regenerative power is further intensified, allowing it to restore tissues and organs with astonishing precision.
*Note: Excessive use of vitality and mana could be fatal to the wearer ].
This is a trait that took me half a year to evolve. Yes, in Aerial Chronicles, you could evolve traits by paying a certain price, and I must say it was worth it.
Regeneration supercells are useful in difficult battles, where stamina is necessary, especially when you combine it with life steal, because even though you are theoretically healing wounds, your vitality (HP) decreases.
This trait serves to avoid having serious openings that an enemy could take advantage of, such as a maimed arm or a vulnerable wound.
The dilemma is the last trait.
Immortality or stats...
Immortality for 5 seconds when I take lethal damage or extra stats and stamina?
I meditated for a few minutes before remembering a certain curious effect.
(NPCs have permanent stats...)
There was a bug in the Imperishable trait, which was that NPCs with this trait accumulated permanent stats and stamina, even when the battle ended.
(If they had come too, everything would be easy, very easy).
I'm referring to the 4500 NPCs I created and equipped with all my cloned traits.
*sigh
I thought about it and came to the conclusion that Imperishable was ideal.
[You have opened the Mysterious Red Gift and obtained: Legendary Trait, Imperishable (Max)].
[ Imperishable (Max): Possesses outstanding stats and unbreakable resistance to any kind of attack, as long as it is not brought to death.
Elevated Stats: The Imperishable gains exceptional stats in all areas. His Strength, Endurance, Speed and Mana far exceed common limits, granting him an outstanding advantage in combat, magic and survival.
Unbreakable Resistance: Grants supernatural resistances to all types of attacks, whether physical, magical or spiritual.
*Note: Temporary stats and resistances (They are obtained and accumulate progressively upon entering combat) ].
[Do you want to integrate the traits now?]
"Yes," I said before hesitating further.
I just felt a kind of coolness all over my body, nothing out of the ordinary, I also didn't start having epileptic seizures or anything like that.
(Kylo is theoretically an NPC, so if this trait works like it does in the game...).
I'll be able to easily compete with the strength granted by the traits Adam gets throughout the story.
Just as I was about to leave my room and go to the training room to test my theory....
Squeak!
*Door opening.
A little girl about 6 years old walked into my room.
(Sherry Stormcrest)
It was Sherry, my younger sister.
She had sunshine blonde hair that fell in waves over her shoulders. Her eyes were so light blue they looked white, and reflected a boundless innocence and curiosity. Her face was sweet and expressive, especially when he entered, as he seemed to be searching for me.
When her eyes met her target....
"Big brother Kylo!" the little girl said as she ran over and approached me.
"Hi Sherry, how are you?" said I in a loving tone.
"Big brother, are you sad?" she said as she climbed onto my bed and came over to give me a hug.
I didn't refuse and let her come up to me.
"No, who told you that?", I asked with a doubtful tone.
"Mom said you were sad," she replied with an innocent look.
(My stepmom still thinks I'm depressed, huh...).
"I came to play, Big brother," she said as she pointed to the maid accompanying her who was holding a pile of wooden toys.
(...)
Just when I was about to make up a convenient excuse for not playing with Sherry, something popped up:
[ Chaos Mission: A full tummy makes a baby's heart feel sunny (6 days remaining).
Description: A demon, a female knight and ----, in the same family.
Starting Conditions: Feed Sherry with the specific items (0/5).
Current: Philosopher's Stone (mythical)
Completion Reward: Items adapted for Kylo Stromcrest's consumption. ]
"..."
I couldn't think of anything else.
"..."
"Big brother?"
(ARE YOU CRAZY?!?!!!!).
You should know that to consume a mythical item like the Philosopher's Stone, you must be at least level 80 mage or knight; consuming it before that is simply suicide, and this only if you are below level 80. Now imagine what it will do to a baby.
It will literally explode from all the energy contained in that item.
Besides, if it's what I think it's for, then it's like curing a common cold with the cure for cancer.
[ It is completely safe, there will be no problems in consumption by Sherry Stromcrest. This mission is generated because the Kylo Stromcrest body is not compatible with the items in the inventory ].
This message popped up shortly after, something that honestly made me roll my eyes.
(... my fortune... no good?)
[ Missions will be generated to fix this problem. ]
"Big brother", Sherry's innocent eyes looked at me, they were so beautiful that it made me ponder.
(If Sherry consumes the stone and it doesn't hurt her?)
She will automatically become the baby with the most mana in the history of this world. Also, there would still be 4 more items to go....
[ Philosopher's Stone (Mythical): Consumable
Description: A legendary stone with a golden appearance, radiating a soft glow and shrouded in a mystical aura. It is said to possess the power to transform matter and grant immortality to whoever possesses it.
Inner Rebirth: Upon consuming the Philosopher's Stone, the individual experiences an immediate revitalization and complete restoration of health and energy. Any injury or illness affecting the consumer is instantly healed.
Ephemeral Knowledge: The Philosopher's Stone provides momentary access to hidden potentials and abilities unknown to the consumer.
+50 Mana, 30 Vitality (Occult, permanent)]
"Sherry, would you like some candy?"
--
The little girl, Sherry, was worried.
The reason? Her big brother was sad, and if he felt that way, he would have no one to play with. So, to comfort him, she came up with a fantastic idea.
Play with him and give him her best smile.
(Mom says my smile can heal the worst disease...)
Her innocent imagination led her to believe that, with her smile alone, her big brother would be cured of sadness and play with her until sundown.
Sherry approached her brother with enthusiasm and a beaming smile on her face. "Big brother Kylo!" she exclaimed, trying to infect him with her joy.
Although Kylo made a strange face, Sherry knew it all worked, when her brother said:
"Sherry, would you like some candy?"
Showing her an incredibly appetizing golden candy.
--
POV Sherry Stromcrest:
As I consumed the candy my Big brother gave me...I remembered.
Years of hard events, and my own end.
This time, when I saw my big brother, I felt... strange and very complicated.
(I blamed him for what he did, but later...).
"Young master, the new maid has arrived" a maid, different from the one who always carried my toys, suddenly said.
I had not adjusted, I simply thought this was a dream, a sweet dream where I could unburden myself to someone I loved.
My brother, the last member of my family to die.
"Hmmm, let her come," my brother said, making a strange face.
"Did you like the candy, Sherry" my brother, this time in a concerned voice, turned to me and said.
(Come to think of it, what was that candy?, why do I feel so good?).
Just as I was about to answer...I saw her.
(YOU!!!!)
And my sweet dream turned into a nightmare.
