Chapter 4: Gap

"My little brother,"Desmond saw a young girl in the room walking towards him and started caressing his cheeks.

Desmond stayed silent while watching her, looking at her sister's natural beauty; he let out a sigh.

Another problem added yet again, my father must have a handsome face with a hero aura attached to him; Desmond then heard a knock on the door and a handsome man walk in, radiating confidence and power.

Yep, That must be my father.

And I just realized this room style was like a middle ages era, soon his eyes began taking in his surroundings. His family and elder sister were talking to each other until his elder sister suddenly left the room.

When Desmond was looking around, he heard the conversation between his father and his elder sister, she requested Ice Cream, but his father strongly denied her.

Ugh, that spoiled kid.

I hate this type of child; they are selfish when it comes to their favor. His arm was then suddenly raised and forced to waved at his father; Desmond then laughed, trying to make it seem as natural as possible.

This is uncomfortable.

I don't like acting like this, every time I saw someone, I must laugh or cry, or they'll call me an abnormal child.

Who would think a baby's body contains the soul of a young man?

Then Desmond watches his father stays inside the room until the next day, while his elder sister has never come back since then.

The next day, as the sun rose, A ship was sailing on the high seas. In a certain room where the lamplight was still shining brightly...

*knock* *knock*

One of the crew members on the ship came knocking on the door.

"Captain, it's me; I have a few questions regarding the current situation."

"Come in," The person inside the room replied.

When the crew opened the door, he saw the captain sitting beside his wife holding a baby; the crew member then glanced at the baby and smiled.

"Captain, our ship is close to the Capital City North Empire's port. Are we going to dock?"

After the crew member asserted, silence filled the room, and when Leona looked at her husband's expression, she immediately held his cheek.

"Dear, it's okay; we rarely come to land. I'm getting bored at sea."

Upon seeing his wife's expression, Bastian hesitated.

"But…"

"Our child has just been born, we must know what trait he will possess, and he will know how big this world is. Please, dear, for our child." Leona came closer, making it look like they were going to kiss.

When he smelled his wife's fragrance, Bastian gave in.

"All right, but I must go with you, and I'll bring a few guards, is that okay?" He asked with a serious expression.

"Yeah!! No problem; you can bring as many as you want" Leona was happy and wanted to jump at Bastian, but she remembered Bastian was holding her son.

"Silly woman, I'm not bringing too many, or the ship will get robbed." He smiled and touched her nose.

"Moo..." She sneered while holding her nose; still, Leona clapped her hand, attempting to call a maid.

"Call Alice and tell her to prepare for going out."

"Yes, my lady." The maid nodded and bowed to Leona before taking her to leave.

Meanwhile, after he heard the conversation between his parents in Desmond's mind, he immediately called the system in his mind.

System scans the entire area and draws me a map on the interface.

[ERROR | Reason: System Still Upgrading]

[....]

Ah, Since when I forget every detail.

Hmm, that may be because I'm too excited.

[System Upgrading | Time Left: 5 seconds]

[System Upgrading | Time Left: 1 second]

[System Upgrade Complete!]

Well, it is done.

System, tell me what changes are made?

[....]

Hmm…

System scans the entire area and brings the map interface to me.

[Creating a Task.

Used 1 Slot

Status: Working 0%]

[Working 50%..]

[Status: Completed ]

[Saving to Database …]

[Data Saved!]

A mini-map showed up in front of his eye, like a mini-map usually in the game. Desmond saw his position near the island, and it's called the north empire, while the rest is water.

This is a world map, so I wonder if we are in a city, will it change?

Maybe, let's check the help command first.

[Command-List:

-Status

-Map

-Task List

-[NEW!]Spell List]

Spell list!!

This function must be a spell list; I'll have to try and master it.

And I have never seen a single spell since coming to this world.

Only if I can get locked in a room for one day full,' he thought with irritation.

[....]

Huff… Relax, let's see what is next? It's status.

[Scanning Host Body…]

[Scan Complete!]

Hmm, that unique attribute is attached, though…

And self-growth means the bonus effect will be increased too.

So how much bonus do you get from common, uncommon, and rare?

If an ordinary person meditates for ten years, he only gets 3.65 energy, then me, I will get 14.6.

The bonus from the trait is real.

Can I be called op from now onwards?

How about my parents?

System scans both of my parents' status.

Let's see…

Huh.

[Recalling From Host Memories..]

[Memories Found In Auxiliary Volume..]

[Transferring into Host Mind..]

Hmm...1st Swordsman Class and 2nd Wizard Class.

When compared to my stats.

The gap is too big.

Is this an average status in this world?

That's crazy.

A trait can change everything.

And I found big trouble.

Both my parents are in disguise, which means they are killers or someone's targeting them.

Or maybe they carry something dangerous or precious.

Hhh…too many variables.

Let's wait, soon I will know the truth.

While he was still pondering the class system, suddenly he heard someone knocking on the door.

"It's me, Alice," Judging from her voice, he concluded his sister must be irritated.
