I looked at my grandmother, who was smiling and thanking me for helping her with the dishes. She seemed to have no idea that I had just completed a quest and gained some experience points. She also seemed to have no idea that I had a system in my head that gave me quests and rewards. She thought I was just her grandson, Shinji, who had lost his memory and was trying to recover it.
But I knew the truth. I was not Shinji. I was someone else, from another world. A world where ninjas and chakra and tailed beasts did not exist. A world where I had died, shot by a masked man who broke into my house. A world where I had played a video game called "Rogue Ninjas and Side Quests: Naruto's Adventure" with my friends, and had fun.
But now, I was in a different world. A world that was exactly like Anime and the video game I had played. A world where I had transmigrated into the body of a five year old kid named Shinji, A world where I had a system in my head that gave me quests and rewards, and helped me to survive and grow stronger.
How did this happen? Why did this happen? What was the purpose of this? I had no answers, only questions. I had no memories, only confusion. I had no identity, only a name.
But I had a system. And the system had a voice. A voice that only I could hear. A voice that sounded like a friendly and helpful assistant. A voice that said:
"Ding"
"Congratulations, you have completed the quest 'Help your grandmother with the dishes'. You have gained 70 experience points and increased your reputation with your grandmother. You are now 30 experience points away from leveling up. Keep up the good work!"
"Thank you, system." I said in my mind.
"You're welcome, user. I'm here to help you. Do you want to see your status?"
"Yes, please."
"Okay, here is your status."
A screen appeared in front of my eyes, showing me the same information that I had seen before, but with some changes.

I looked at the screen and felt a sense of satisfaction. I had made some progress, even if it was small. I had gained some experience, even if it was not enough. I had improved my health, even if it was not much. I had done something, even if it was simple.
It had been 10 months since I arrived in this world. 10 months since I died in my original world and transmigrated into the body of a five year old kid named Shinji. 10 months since I discovered that I had a system in my head that gave me quests and rewards, and helped me to survive and grow stronger.
During these 10 months, I had trained like hell. I had done a ton of physical training, such as running, jumping, climbing, swimming, and lifting. I had also done a lot of chakra training, thanks to my grandmother, who was a retired kunoichi and taught me many things. She taught me how to sense, control, and manipulate chakra, the vital energy that flowed through every living being. She taught me how to use chakra to enhance my physical abilities, such as speed, strength, and endurance. She taught me how to use chakra to perform various techniques, such as ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu.
Ninjutsu was the art of using chakra to create various effects, such as fire, water, wind, earth, and lightning. Taijutsu was the art of using chakra to enhance one's hand-to-hand combat skills, such as punches, kicks, and throws. Genjutsu was the art of using chakra to create illusions and manipulate the senses and the mind.
She also taught me how to use various tools and weapons, such as shuriken, kunai, scrolls, and bombs. She taught me how to throw shuriken and kunai with precision and accuracy, how to use scrolls to store and summon items, and how to use bombs to create explosions and traps.
She also taught me some basic medical ninjutsu, which was the art of using chakra to heal wounds and cure diseases. She taught me how to diagnose and treat injuries, how to stop bleeding and prevent infections, and how to use herbs and potions to enhance healing.
She also taught me how to form hand seals, which were gestures that shaped and directed chakra. She taught me the 12 basic hand seals, which were named after the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Boar. She taught me how to combine them in different sequences to activate different techniques.
By learning all these things, I had turned them into skills. Skills that I could see and improve in my status window. Skills that had levels and ranks, from E to S. Skills that gave me advantages and abilities. Skills that made me stronger and smarter.
Here are some of the skills that I had learned and their descriptions:
I had also done many quests, such as helping my grandmother, exploring the village, helping the passersby in the street, helping my neighbors, and so on. By doing these quests, I had gained a lot of experience points, reputation points, and other rewards. I had also learned a lot about this world and its people. I had also made some friends and enemies.
Here are some of the scenes where I completed some of these quests:
- Helping my grandmother: One of the first quests that I received from the system was to help my grandmother with the dishes. It was a simple and easy quest, but it made her happy and grateful. She hugged me and kissed me on the cheek, and told me that I was a good boy. She also gave me some cookies and milk as a reward. I felt a warm and fuzzy feeling in my chest, and also gained 70 experience points and increased my reputation with her. After that, I helped her with other chores, such as cleaning, cooking, shopping, and gardening. She always praised me and rewarded me with food, money, or gifts. She also taught me many things, such as how to read, write, count, and speak. She also told me stories, such as the history of Konoha, the legends of the Hokages, and the tales of the Senju clan. She also showed me pictures, such as the photos of my parents, the portraits of my ancestors, and the paintings of the village. She also sang me songs, such as the lullabies of my childhood, the anthems of the village, and the ballads of the ninjas. She also played with me, such as the games of hide and seek, tag, and tic-tac-toe. She also hugged me, kissed me, and told me that she loved me. She was the best grandmother in the world, and I loved her too.
- Exploring the village: One of the quests that I received from the system was to explore the village and learn more about it. It was a fun and interesting quest, but it also had some risks and dangers. I had to be careful and alert, as there were many things that could harm me or get me into trouble. I had to avoid the patrols of the Anbu, the elite ninjas who guarded the village and enforced the laws. I had to avoid the traps and barriers that protected the important buildings and areas. I had to avoid the bullies and thugs who preyed on the weak and the innocent. I had to avoid the animals and plants that were hostile or poisonous. I had to avoid the strangers and foreigners who were suspicious or malicious. But I also had to be curious and adventurous, as there were many things that could help me or amaze me. I had to explore the streets and alleys that were full of shops and stalls. I had to explore the parks and gardens that were full of flowers and trees. I had to explore the monuments and statues that were full of history and culture. I had to explore the training grounds and arenas that were full of ninjas and techniques. I had to explore the mountains and forests that were full of wildlife and nature. I had to explore the people and the events that were full of life and stories. I had seen and learned a lot, and also gained a lot of experience points, items, and information.
- Helping the passersby in the street: One of the quests that I received from the system was to help the passersby in the street and earn their gratitude and respect. It was a rewarding and challenging quest, but it also had some benefits and drawbacks. I had to be generous and helpful, as there were many people who needed my assistance or advice. I had to help the old lady who was carrying a heavy basket of groceries. I had to help the young boy who was lost and looking for his mother. I had to help the injured man who was bleeding and asking for a medic. I had to help the pregnant woman who was going into labor and needing a safe place. I had to help the blind man who was crossing the street and avoiding the traffic. I had to help the homeless man who was hungry and cold and begging for food. I had to help the orphan girl who was crying and lonely and wanting a friend. I had helped many people, and they had thanked me and rewarded me with money, food, or gifts. They had also praised me and spread my reputation as a good and kind person. But I also had to be cautious and smart, as there were also some people who wanted to take advantage of me or harm me. I had to avoid the scammer who was selling fake or faulty products. I had to avoid the thief who was stealing wallets and purses.I had to avoid the liar who was making false or misleading claims. I had to avoid the spy who was gathering information or secrets. I had to avoid the assassin who was targeting me or someone else. I had to avoid the troublemaker who was causing chaos or conflict. I had avoided many people, and they had cursed me and tried to harm me or get me into trouble. They had also hated me and lowered my reputation as a bad and dangerous person.
These were some of the quests that I had done in the past 10 months. There were many more, but I won't bore you with the details. The point is, I had done a lot of things, and I had gained a lot of things. I had leveled up from level 1 to level 5, and I had improved my skills from rank E to rank D. I had also accumulated 19 points, which I could use to increase my stats .
