After introducing my family…
It's finally time to talk about the most important thing.
My System.
The moment it activated, a faint sound echoed inside my mind—
[Ding…]
And then a translucent screen appeared before my eyes.
[D&D System Initialized]
(Diligence & Detective System)
Host: Vijay
Age: 1
Charm:
A natural weapon. Capable of making almost any woman want to kiss you.
(Warning: Overpowered in baby form.)
Physical Status:
Healthy baby (by world standards)
Current Status:
Living peacefully with a beautiful and loving family
[Quests Generated]: 0
[D&D Points]: 0
[Shop]: Locked
[Diligence]: Available
I stared at the screen in silence.
…
That's it?
No god-tier weapon? No instant power boost? No "become strongest in 24 hours" cheat?
Disappointing. 😑
Still… after calming down, I started to understand how it worked.
The system was actually simple.
The Status Panel allowed me to monitor my body and condition anytime. Useful… especially since I couldn't exactly go to a doctor and say, "Excuse me, I feel slightly off today."
Then came the Quest System.
Unlike typical systems, this one was interesting.
I could generate my own tasks.
Depending on the difficulty, the system would reward me accordingly.
It could also assign quests based on my situation—
And the best part?
I could accept… or reject them.
No forced missions.
No "fail = death" nonsense.
Finally… a system that respects personal boundaries. 😌
Then there was the most important feature—
Diligence.
This… was basically grinding.
If I started any activity, the system would generate a progress bar.
Repetition, effort, consistency—
The more I practiced, the more I improved.
Step by step… slowly but surely.
And once I reached certain milestones—
I would earn D&D Points.
No shortcuts.
Just effort.
Honestly…
At first, I thought it was underwhelming.
But the more I understood it…
The more terrifying it became.
Because this system didn't make me strong instantly—
It made sure…
I could never stop improving.
A system built on discipline.
On consistency.
On growth.
Slowly… a smile appeared on my face.
Looks like… this life won't be boring after all. 😏
After understanding how the system worked…
I fell into deep thought.
What kind of quest should I generate?
This wasn't like those overpowered systems where quests just appear and you blindly follow them.
No…
Here, I had a choice.
And that made things both exciting… and dangerous.
Because if I chose something too easy—
The reward would be useless.
But if I chose something too difficult—
Well…
Let's just say, I'm still a one-year-old baby. 😑
I can't even walk properly yet, and here I am thinking about "missions" like some main character.
Focus, Vijay. Be realistic.
My eyes narrowed slightly as I started analyzing my situation.
Current abilities:
Cry ✔️
Sleep ✔️
Look cute ✔️ (apparently overpowered)
Combat ability?
…zero.
I let out a small mental sigh.
Fine. If I can't do anything big…
Then I'll start small.
Very small.
My gaze shifted slightly toward my surroundings.
This world…
My family…
My future…
If this system is based on diligence…
Then there's only one logical way to begin.
Growth.
Slowly, I made my decision.
"System…"
Generate quest....
For a brief moment, nothing happened.
Then—
[Processing…]
[Analyzing Host Condition…]
A faint pause followed, as if the system was seriously judging my current abilities.
Hey… don't underestimate me too much. 😑
Suddenly, the screen flickered.
[Quest Generating…]
[■□□□□ 20%]
[■■■□□ 50%]
[■■■■■ 100%]
[Quest Generated Successfully]
A new panel appeared before my eyes.
I didn't waste any time.
[Quest Generated]
[Beginner Quest #1]
Title: Head Control Training
Objective: Lift and hold your head steadily for 10 seconds
Difficulty: Easy
Reward:
+1 Diligence Point
Penalty: None
I stared at the quest.
…
Easy?
This system clearly has high expectations. 😑
Still… it didn't look that hard.
It's just lifting my head.
I focused my mind and gathered strength in my tiny body.
Slowly…
I tried to lift my head.
It moved.
Barely.
My neck trembled instantly.
Why is this so heavy?!
One second…
My muscles burned.
Two seconds…
My vision started shaking.
Three—
Thud.
My head dropped back down helplessly.
…
I blinked.
No problem.
Just a warm-up.
I tried again.
This time with more focus.
One second…
Two…
Three—
Thud.
Again.
Silence.
[Quest Incomplete]
[Progress: 3/10 Seconds]
I stared at the screen in disbelief.
3 seconds?
That's it?
My pride took a direct hit. 💀
In my previous life, I handled responsibilities, planned finances, made decisions—
And now…
I can't even hold my own head properly.
A deep sigh escaped my mind.
Reality check received.
But instead of frustration…
Something else appeared.
Determination.
Fine.
If this is where I start—
Then I'll start from here.
Slowly…
I prepared myself again.
This time… I won't stop at three seconds. 😤
After multiple failed attempts…
Pain… frustration… and a completely shattered ego—
I finally did it.
I lifted my head…
One second…
Two… three… four…
My neck trembled like it was about to give up any moment.
Five… six… seven…
My entire focus narrowed to just one thing—
Don't fall.
Eight… nine…
Just one more…
Ten.
Thud.
My head dropped instantly, and I lay there, completely exhausted.
[Ding!]
[Quest Completed]
[Reward: +1 Diligence Point]
A warm sensation spread through my body.
My muscles felt slightly lighter… more responsive.
I blinked slowly.
Worth it. 😌
But when I looked outside the window—
The sky had already turned orange.
Evening.
Wait… how long was I doing this? 😶
Just then, the door opened.
My father returned home.
And as usual—
She looked effortlessly cool.
Stylish clothes, confident walk, and those signature sunglasses like she just walked out of a movie scene.
Main character energy confirmed. 😎
Meanwhile, my mom was in the kitchen, busy preparing dinner.
The soft sounds of cooking filled the house, making everything feel warm and peaceful.
The moment my father saw me—
"Hey, champ!"
She walked over and picked me up playfully.
Big mistake.
My body was still recovering from the "neck training from hell."
So the moment she lifted me—
My head wobbled slightly.
She frowned.
"What happened to him?"
And then…
She asked my mom.
My mom turned around…
And what followed next—
Was the beginning of my public humiliation. 💀
"You won't believe what he was doing the whole day," she said with a smile.
And then—
She started explaining.
In detail.
FULL detail.
How I kept trying to lift my head…
How I failed again and again…
How I made that "angry baby face"…
She even demonstrated it.
PERFECTLY.
"He was like this—"
She puffed her cheeks, frowned her eyebrows, and made a tiny frustrated expression.
My father burst out laughing.
"No way… seriously?"
"And then," my mom continued, clearly enjoying this,
"he suddenly became very serious… like this—"
She straightened her face, narrowed her eyes, and acted all determined.
Why is she so accurate?! 😭
"And after finally doing it…"
She paused for dramatic effect.
"He started laughing like an idiot."
Both of them laughed.
Loudly.
Without mercy.
Meanwhile…
I was in my father's arms—
Frozen.
Emotionally destroyed.
If the earth could open up right now…
I would crawl inside it without hesitation.
This is bullying. 😭
I swear…
One day…
I will grow up…
And take revenge for this humiliation. 😤
