In the remaining time, the youth continued to wake up and fall asleep constantly. He used his wake moments to get used to the body and try to control the limbs. Considering he had already lived for many years priorly, it was unimaginable to him that it would be so hard to do. There wasn't much progress on a day to day basis. To keep track of time he had the system's aide.
Nearing the ninth month he was able to do what was expected of a fetus. Which was move his limbs around clumsily and annoy his mother with his painful movements. It couldn't exactly be considered a big achievement for someone who had already been a fetus once before.
Finally, to the relief of both his mother and himself, the amniotic fluid broke. The screaming voice of his mother was enough for him to hurry out. He wanted to get this over with so that annoying woman would be quiet.
Headfirst he was pushed out of the womb and into the vaginal canal. Honestly an uncomfortable experience for someone who was aware. Eagerly, he was pushed further and further as his mother yelled and cursed. Yeah, birth was not a beautiful thing.
"Come on Third Miss, the head is visible." A woman spoke, "Just a little more, keep pushing."
His mother screamed yet again and with a final push he was sent out right into the arms of the woman who was speaking. An urge to cry overwhelmed him, and he started wailing at full volume.
"A very healthy baby boy." The midwife said before she put a black bracelet with a digital screen on the babies arm. Finishing that, she wrapped him in a blanket and handed him to the mother.
The mother was all smiles as she gently held her newly born son in her arms.
"Hahahaha, very good!" A tall, well-built middle aged man laughed joyously, "As soon as Avery gives birth too I will have 2 sons!"
The woman instantly frowned, "Honey, I just gave birth. Can you not talk about your other wife right now?"
"Sorry sorry. You are my precious wife too." The man held up his hands in apology, then leaned in and kissed his wife on the cheek and stroked the already calm child's cheek.
"Have you decided on a name yet?" The woman regained her smile and looked lovingly towards her husband.
"Hmm, as my first born he naturally must have a strong name. A name with spirit. He shall be Kaden, Kaden Arkatal." The man nodded to himself, "Yes a fine name indeed."
"Yes it's a good name." The woman nodded and stretched out her arms, "Honey, let's test his potential now."
A glint passed by in the man's eye and he nodded vigorously, "Yes yes, let's." He took the baby and walked over to the pod beside the hospital bed.
The pod was a meter long and about half of that wide. The sides were built out of a durable white plastic and flat metal supports to line the edges. Placing the baby inside on a soft mattress, the man clicked a few buttons on the control panel and the top soon slid closed. A see through blue material sealing the pod closed.
A light whirring sound began and in less than a minute the control screen popped up with the data.

Kaden Arkatal Evaluation
Gene Potential: S-Tier
Spiritual Power: S-Tier
Medical Assessment: Healthy with no defects.

"S… S-Tier? Incredible!" The man almost couldn't contain himself, "Not only gene potential but spiritual power too?" The man's jaw almost hung to the floor.
The woman was pleasantly surprised, but compared to the man she was a lot calmer.
"This is perfect, with a son like this even those other fogies will be jealous. Thank you for giving me such a precious son Alvera." The man hugged his wife again before kissing her deeply on the lips.
"I couldn't have done it without you, my dear husband." The woman's cheeks reddened.
During this couple's display of affection, Kaden was left to himself still stuck inside of the pod. These two were his mother and father? It was a weird thing for him to see. He had just been born, but unlike other babies he was fully capable of processing everything happening around him.
"Hey system, this S-Tier they're talking about, is it any good?" Kaden asked with a thought.
"After scanning this machine, it seems they use the same methods of classification as me. Of course, theirs is far less sophisticated. S-Tier is indeed very good. But it is outclassed by the SS-Tier. The reason you ended up in this body with an S-Tier potential is that it is the minimum required to contain me. There were also no S-Tier embryo's at all on your native planet, this was the closest planet with an embryo in the suitable stage to be possessed."
"So it's thanks to this embryo that I have this potential?"
"Yes and no, you inherited the gene potential from the embryo, but the spiritual power is your own. This is the reason I attached to you and not anyone else. For a thousand years I was stuck on your planet, there were many people dying everyday but none of them had strong enough spiritual power."
"Oh…" Kaden was a bit stupefied, with the little information he was left with, he still knew that the average human where he was from only lived around 100 years at max. This system was really getting more and more unfathomable. A thousand years ago it was already way ahead of his planet's technology. What was the technology of his planet like back then? He would've liked to answer but the fact was that he simply didn't have any memory of that.
"How did it end up there then?" Kaden thought to himself, not expecting an answer. But he had forgotten that the system was attached to his soul and therefore had direct access to his mind.
"I too am unsure about that. Like you, I have no recollection of the events prior to my being there."
Kaden was full out shocked now. If even the system didn't know about that, how could it have gotten there? That train of thoughts was interrupted by a whoosh as the clear blue material slid back, and a pair of arms reached down and pulled him up.
He had been taken back into his mother's embrace. She had apparently recovered because she followed behind the husband to leave the room. He'd been expecting to see a hospital hall, but instead he was just met with a wooden interior outside of the clinical room.
It turned out that it wasn't a hospital at all, but just a small clinic inside of their gigantic house. He was soon carried into his mother's room and placed down in his crib. A stylish black one.
Luckily his father and mother didn't stay in the same room. It probably had something to do with his father having multiple wives, but really he was just thankful that he wouldn't have to see them going at it during the night.
Feeling tired, he decided to get some sleep in. Even if he was older in spirit, this was a new-born's body through and through. He was almost incapable of keeping himself awake any longer. Giving in to the urges, he fell soundly asleep.
