My System And I

In his crib that was made of wooden floor and top, it was being held by a child that was none other than Dez. Or so what his nickname here in this world given by his mom.

Helpless at it seems, he started to play with words with his mouth for better pronunciation. Getting a round trip from the left to right and right to left in his crib.

'The wheels of the bus goes round and round, round and round, round and round, the wheels of the bus goes round and round, all through the town...' Singing in his mind while circling the crib.

He can walk just fine without worries but it was all boring in that place for some time.

Having memorized the nooks and crannies in the room with walls made of wood. Some wooden chairs in the front of the crib and a horn of a reindeer placed on the wall.

Seems a normal room with a wooden table, placed with a lamp on top of it and it was lit to give radiance to the room. Webs in the edge of the ceiling seemed to laugh in his face. Adding up to Dezmund's annoyance as he can't reach it and clean it himself.

Just as Dezmund was starting to get bored, he called forth the system to talk to.

'System!? Are you there?'

Just as he called it, it appeared with a notification. Sounding in a female voice.

[Just to make the user not bored, I will give a task for the user to play]

[Goal: Turn around twenty times]

[Reward: Skill Weapon Conjuration]

[The goal was nerfed to suit the user's capacity]

He turned around three times and he can't help but feel dizzy currently. Making him laughed solitarily. His father saw him turned around inside his crib and then laughed very loud after he fell on its floor.

"Haha, he sure knows how to make himself happy." His father said to himself then left their home.

Dezmund was getting dizzy with more effort. Just turning around some more made him roll to the crib in great discomfort.

'Damn, this System is very hard on me. Even with my baby self can't find it easy to overcome this.'

Soon after, he stands up again as his dizziness faded. He forced himself to push the floor and leaned his arms to the top of the crib. Turning around again and fell his buŧŧ. Standing up and turning again until he succeeded.

'Yey! Success!'

[Reward for completion: Skill Weapon Conjuration]

[Another goal for the day]

[Goal: Conjure Sword]

As soon as Dezmund saw it, he was drilled with information in his mind on how to use the skill [Conjure Sword]. Making him be impressed with the System. Perspiring on the process as he felt everything to be surreal.

[Conjure Sword–a skill to conjure the sword using mana. The greater mana was applied, the longer its duration to last. It will dissipate as soon as the sword has run out of mana.]

Upon seeing and hearing the System's notification, he felt a chill run down his spine. A chill of excitement and realizing how engaging it was to experience it in real-time. His reader instincts were leaping in joy right after he heard it.

Without wasting time, he soon tried the skill. He gathered mana and conjured the sword. Appearing like it was a cloud of dust that formed into a sword. Brimming with a cold aura that was seeping out of the sword but it was warm to the touch. Seen as smoke-like that was rising into the air. As soon as he made the sword, the system congratulated him.

[Reward for completion: +1 Weapon Mastery (Sword)]

[Current Weapon Masteries: Sword(1)]

Just as Dezmund saw it, he was impressed, he felt that he knew how to use a sword in an instant. Making him almost leap in joy.

[Another goal of the day]

[Goal: Swing the sword 100 times]

Just by looking at it, Dezmund stared at it like it was unbelievable. His mind was slow to process the info in his face. Being in a trance as he stared at it So much reward just from a swing of a sword. But soon after, his happiness turned to be a lifeless stare and narrowed eyes after seeing the System's notification.

[Job classes used swords as weapons so they are unlocked. But still has no skills to use currently.]

Dezmund nearly shouted in great annoyance. Making him do all the hard work without making him have skills.

'How can I get their skills System?'

[You will be awarded of their skills one by one. No need to worry.]

'In hell, why would I worry about it? But still, thanks for giving me an insight into what to know about the Job classes. Want to make me have small hardships beforehand for giving me rewards. I am a gamer you know?' Dezmund said to the System in his mind. Thinking that it will soon reachable with his hands.

'But still, this is child labour! Imagining a two-year-old child swinging a sword in his crib? My parents will leap in great distress as they saw their child having a sword. I should be playing with toys right now.'

[You have to complete the task or I will not unlock to you all the Job Classes stated. You need to be strong as soon as possible.]

Dezmund can only smirk. Making his brain cells pop at the moment.

[I can hear your thoughts]

[You need to be exercising as soon as possible. Your sword is now weightless so just swing it for swing's sake. Or I will give you a negative status for a day?]

'Oh geez, sorry. I will start now. No need to struggle with your message. Say System? Do you have a soul? You can talk like one for me,' Dezmund asked. Starting to swing the sword.

[I am your guide. I am what I am and not a soul but a creation. You can tell it like an AI in your past world. But you see, I can become a soul if God wills it.]

'Oh, like an AI you say? I can imagine it now. You are something you know that?'

[I take that as a compliment]

Just swinging for some time, Dezmund felt that his arms and shoulders were now weary. Thinking of a plan to rest first for some time.

Just for a while, he rested on his bed and wiped his face full of sweat with his blanket. Sitting on his bed and then put his hands on his waist. Looking tired as he gasped air for a minute.

'I will surely make it to one hundred with this. But still, I am not sure what will happen to my future. Well, let's finish this as soon as possible.'

[Reward for completion: Warrior Job Class, Holy Knight Job Class, Chaos Knight Job Class, Paladin Job Class]

[Current Job Classes: Warrior Job Class, Holy Knight Job Class, Chaos Knight Job Class, Paladin Job Class]

Dezmund then almost leapt with his weary feet and legs. Seeing his mother arrive, he extinguished his sword that popped like a bubble into thin air.

"Hello, Dez! Time to drink your milk!" She said then gave him a cup of milk. Still warm as he touched the cup made of clay.. Sipping slowly as he filled his tummy who was both hungry and his throat thirsty.
