Chapter 3 - I just need money

After another two weeks some things had happend. He was now 12 weeks old, which meant his bones and muscles where much more developed, which meant his [imobile] status had been removed, but he still couldn't fully control his body just yet. Secondly he had gained the [amniotic cycle] status, all it did was increase his resistance to illnesses, as well as also sligtly increace the [fetus] and [submerged in amniotic fluid] traits. He had fused it with [submerged in amniotic fluid] to make [enhanced amniotic cycle] which had better versions of both traits bonuses as well as a minor increase to his foundational development. All this cost 80 points.

He had also created the techniques [foundation creation] and [base building] both of which just used his stored biomass from [biomass storage], which he gained last week, to increace his foundation and future talent. [Foundation creation] was based off his [untainted] and [enhanced amniotic cycle] traits, while [base building] was based off his [fetus] and [being nurtured by mother] traits. [Foundation creation] just increased his mystic talent and prowess over time, for things such as cultivation. While [base building] increased his phisiscal talent and prowess over time, for things such as body forging. Both of these had cost 70 points.

This left him with 68 points of the 288 he had collected over the last two weeks. This was enough to take either 2 of his basic stats, or either vitality or spirit, to three points, and Alex was currently trying to decide which one to pick. One one hand he could possibly have two phisical transcendent traits, which would certainly help his body's development and future potential. But on the other hand, a transcendent advanced stat could possibly have major bonuses. Ultimately he decided to upgrade his spirit stat to three, leaving him with 45 points left to upgrade constatution to 3 as well. Leaving him with 15 points left.

[Trait [transcendent spirit] has been added. Trait [transcendent constatution] has Ben added.]

[Transcendent spirit: a unique achievement acknowledged by the system for having three times the average spirit stat of hosts curent life level(fetus) that is only barely unworthy of a title. Growth speed of the spirit stats is greatly enhanced, affect of the sprit and intelligence stats greatly increased. Comprehension, learning speed and talent in mystic techniques are greatly increased. Soul develops minutely faster and is minutely more powerfull then avrage. Additionally enlightenment is slightly less rare.]

Alex could tell that [transcendent spirit] had some important difrences from [transcendent intelligence]. Firstly, the growth speed of spirit and intelligence was only greatly enhanced as compared to being massivly enhanced, but the affect was greatly enhanced instead of marginally. Secondly while learning speed and compassion the same, it had mystic techniques instead of mental. Thirdly apparently his soul developed minutely faster and was minutely more then avrage. And lastly, enlightenment was slightly less rare as compared to minutely less rare. Next was [transcendent constatution]

[Transcendent constatution: a unique achievement acknowledged by the system for having three times the average constatution stat of hosts curent life level(fetus) that is only barely unworthy of a title. Growth speed of the constatution stats is massive enhanced, effect of the constatution and vitality stats marginally increased. Comprehension, learning speed and talent in martial techniques are greatly increased. Additionally enlightenment is minutely less rare.]

[Transcendent constatution] was basicly a copy paste of [transcendent intelligence] except with vitality instead of spirit, and martial talent instead of mental. Even enlightenment was the same. 'Well, I guess that answers the question of what stats to upgrade first. But for now, system, how much would it cost to make the same modifications to my new traits as I did with [transcendent intelligence]?'

[The cost of [transcendent constatution] would be the same for both the modifications and making it perment. While the cost of making [transcendent spirit] permanent would be 175, and the modifications would be 200.]

'Ouch, so 525 points total to for both huh? That means 600 points for every basic stat, including constatution, and 1,125 for every advanced stat, including spirit, Huh. That means that of I want to get all the transcendent stats and make them permanent I'll need 1940 points, which means I'll need to wait 80 days without spending any. I'll have to wait a while, but it should be fine, I have another 178 days, give or take, left before I'm born anyways.'

Once again Alex went back to his routine of practising and studimg his techniques, this time for much longer then usual. Over the next few weeks only two things happend, his development continued, and he gained more control over his techniques.

He grew his vocal cords, nails, and fine hair. Soon after he grew marrow he gained two traits, [jade bones] trait and [perfect marrow]. [jade bones] increased the affect of his constatution and resistance, the efficiency of his marrow, his bones hardness and healing rate as well as slightly increasing his flexibility. [Perfec marrow] increased is blood production, the quality of his blood, and healing rate of his bones. As well as minutely increasing the effectiveness of his vitality.

His organs moved to their permanent positions and he gained the [five elements organs] trait, which increased his healing speed, talent in the five elements, productivity of his organs, his life span, and a slight increase in the effectiveness and growth speed of his constatution, resistance, and vitality.

He was now able to move somewhat properly, and his nervous system was developing which gave him the trait [perfect nervous system] which increased the growth speed and effectiveness of his speed and dexterity, along with his reaction time and thought speed, along with giving hom the ability to perfectly focus on two things at once, as if he could split his brain in two. All these new traits where automatically permanent as they where just caused by his development and amazing foundation, which was just improving over time.

'Finnaly, time for all those up grades. System, please add three to dexterity, strength, speed and resistance, and add two to vitality. And then modify the subsequent traits before making the permemnt?'

[Adding points. Exchange unefected. Traits [transcendent strength, speed, dexterity, vitality, resistance] have been added. Modifications made. Exchange uneffected. Traits have become permanent. Exchange uneffected. As all transcendent stat traits have been gained, they have automatically been fused into the trate [transcendent phisque] and title [transcendent physique holder].]

'Wait what?'

[Transcendent phisque: a unique phisque that comes with a title, earned by havign three times the avrage amount of all stats for the fetus life level. all stats growth speed and effectiveness are enormously enhanced. Comprehension, learning speed, growth potential and overall talent are massivly increased. Spiritual and phisical, talent, potential, growth speed and effectiveness are greatly enhanced. Increases the effectiveness off all phisical and spiritual traits marginally. Enlightenment is common.]

'That's. That's just crazy. Really? Not even counting the new bonuses, even the bonuses that the old traits had are boosted. And then theres all the new stuff, and what the hell do you mean enlightenment is common? And I haven't even checked the title.'

[Transcendent phisque holder: as the holder of the [transcendent phisque] you are naturally gifted in all things. Your talent is cultivation and body forging are greatly increased, you are given access to higher grades of each realm, and every stat has a increace of 50% (rounded up)]

'That's, somehow even crazier. 50% stat increase rounded up? I have 5 in all stats now, That means all the bonuses of [transcendent physique] are boosted. And acsess to higher grades of each realm? I don't know what that even means yet but it's gotta be good... now what? I've reached my main long term goals, and I still got three months till I'm born. Do I just loaf around and wait? Hmm, I guess I could create new techniques while I wait. Should probably make one to focus on several things at once without slowing down my thoughts, and one to train my soul, of I can even do that. Maybe something to do with cultivation?'

So Alex continued to wait and create more techniques. He made one that both alowed him to split his conchesness and train his soul called [soul visualisation] baced off of [pure hear and clear mind], [untainted], [perfect nervous system] and [transcendent physique]. And one to increase his talent in cultivation and body forging talent overtime called [forge of 108 divine meridians] based on [jade bones], [perfect marrow], [being nurtured by mother], [untainted] and [transcendent phisque]. Both of which he studied along with the other three techniques.

A couple days ago his [underdeveloped] status disappeared, and he could tell he was close to being born. Suddenly, he felt himself being pulled in one direction, which he assumed to be down. 'Guess it's time.' Soon after he felt excruciating pain as his body was pressed and squeezed from all sides, he couldn't breath, his lungs where burning, 'fuck! Its hurts! Why does it hurt so much!' As much as he tried, he couldn't even scream, just as he thought he was about to die, the pressure finnaly vanished, and he cried out.

In a large room there where 4 people, a nurse, a woman lying on a bed covered in sweat, a man who was holding the hand of the woman, and a baby in the nurses arms. "My lord! Congratulations! You have a son!" "Quick! Let me see him!" Holding the baby that had just been put in a swaddling cloth gently the man laughed. "Haha! I have a new son! Oh, look at how big he is! He will surely be a great man when he grows up!"

Meanwhile, after being born, alex was still in a little pain. 'Shut up, you old man. I, am going, to, sleep...'

And so, Alex's new life officaly began
