The servants were serving meals in the dining hall late at
night. The dining hall was rather spacious, with only a dining table and four
seats, as well as with various decorated objects strewn around.
Falco ordered one of the servants, "Call Nap."
He probed the food on the table before turning to face his wife, who sat on his left. His wife used to only cook for him on special occasions, but once their son was awakened, she began cooking every day by herself.
"Lord, the youngest one is not in his room," A servant stated as he approached the dining table. Elora instructed other servants to search Nap immediately before Falco could say anything, she and her husband also left the dining hall to look for their son.
They began their search within the crystal palaces, but found no trace of their son.
"Lady Elora, I just located the younger one on the training grounds."
When Elora and Falco arrived at the training ground, they saw their kid asleep on the ground with a wooden sword in one hand.
"Did you put my child to such harsh training?" While looking at her husband, Elora asked angrily.
Falco was taken aback; he had just spoken Nap physical training with his wife the day before, and now his son was at the training ground with an exhausted body.
"Dear, it has nothing to do with me."
Elora eyes narrowed as she looked at her husband, refusing to believe it.
“You really doubt your husband word; this brat really changed my wife completely. Give back my sweet wife.”
Other servants in the vicinity softly chuckled.
Elora carried her son from the training ground to his room, where she left some food so that if he awoke in the middle of the night, he would have something to eat. As she entered her room, her husband hugged her from behind.
“Dear, Let Nap trained with the guard. You're also aware of the significance of the word strength in this world?" Falco spoke in hushed tones, as if he was requesting something he didn't own.
“Okay, but Nap will only take light exercise for a year, after which you may add more training." Because her child had been in a coma for 10 years, Elora understands that her child would need some time to adjust, so she added such a condition.
Falco smiled and nodded.
Next day, Nap joined the other guards in their training.
Only light exercises like as pushups, sprinting, and pull-ups were assigned to Nap by the Chief trainer Edaaz.
"I just finished a light exercise routine, Chief Edaaz." Nap said, he was completely drenched in sweat, but that light exercise had left him feeling pretty refreshed.
“Then, Leave the training ground.”
Nap had the impression that Edaaz was a quiet man who didn't say much to anyone. He solely gave training to guards.
[Host has completed 50% of the daily quest]
'It's difficult to swing a sword 1000 times every day, therefore let's split it into five parts per day.' Nap devised his own training strategy, but he was disappointed; he had put in a lot of work the day before, but the system only acknowledged daily quests up to midnight, so his efforts the day before were in vain.
He brought one wooden sword from the training ground by hiding it in his room; he can only train in his room while hiding from others. He'll be in big trouble if his mother finds out.
Falco and Elora want their son to play with other kids of his age, but owing to his intelligence, Nap doesn't fit in with other kids of his age.
Whenever Nap talked with his age group children. Because of their actions, He felt quite childish. Due to his high soul strength, it also affected his intelligence.
Nap finished his last sword stroke in his room late at night.
[Congratulations, Host for completing the daily quest]

'It actually worked; I might be able to get a four-star shifting skill technique and possibly another one.' Nap thought. It was not that he's a hardworking youngster, it’s just that he was working hard due to his curiosity.
Every day, Nap followed the same schedule.
Nap got 400 trading points on the tenth day of his training.
"At last, I'll be able to purchase four-star shifting skill techniques."
Nap summoned Arsenal window with his thought and he bought the shifting skill technique.
[Host just bought Four Star Shifting Skill Technique]
[Warning: For the host's own safety, the host cannot leak the technique to others]
[Ignoring the warning will caused the host unimaginable pain or shock]
"At list, I can understand now. This system will not harm me from this notification."
The Four Star Shifting Skill Technique did not emerge from the system, but Nap retained information in his memory.
"Is this a four-star skill technique, and what is the use of this skill?" After finding the content in this mana cultivation technique, Nap was quite dissatisfied. He wants to know if the theoretical and practical content are match.
According to the four-star shifting techniques, he had to create a mana thread inside his body and pierces it with his internal organ.
Nap was momentarily taken aback because no one can feel mana until they become thirteen or fourteen. He tried to feel the mana around him after realizing that there was also a mana point option in his body status. He was able to feel mana after spending an hour in a meditative state, and he started to absorb it. Nap, however, hadn't learned any mana absorption technique, thus his rate of absorption was minimal.
Then he started to follow the instructions of the four-star shifting skill techniques. He started to construct a mana thread inside his body, before puncturing it once in the heart. He wasn't in pain, but he sensed that his intellect and heart were intertwined.
“It worked, but this cannot be four-star technique. This is nothing more than garbage." Nap came to a halt in the middle of constructing the thread. He had already decided to stop doing daily quests because he felt that system had scammed him, shifting skill techniques being four stars. In the following day, Nap only performed light exercise according to chief Edaaz instruction. He also realized that only he could view the system panel and its notifications.
In the mid-autumn, the crystal palace servants were decorating both the exterior and interior parts of the palace.
"Are you aware that Lord Falco had also invited Baron Cirris to the naming ceremony?"
"It's wonderful to be born into a noble family; regular families name their children with a few words, but nobility is required to execute a ceremony." The servants spoke amongst themselves and likened their way of life to that of nobility.
Falco also invited his daughter, Roza, to the event, but she was unable to attend owing to imperial academy rules. She was unable to leave the mainland until she graduated from the imperial academy.
“Mother, this outfit isn't really my type.” Today, Nap was dressed in a traditional aristocratic family costume and he felt entirely out of place with it. He was dressed in pants that were the same color as his suit, but had a little different pattern, and they complemented his shoes well.
"You'll become accustomed to it." Elora stated. She and Nap exited the room, and as they were ready to descend the staircase, people of lower status began to bend their heads.
“Greeting to both lady and the youngest one.”
“Greeting …..”
Many present people greeted, after only Elora nodded her head, other party stopped.
‘Are they also our guard?’ Nap thought while examining the guard at the far end of the hall wall. He had never seen these guards before; he sensed that the mana around them was more intense than other guards.
"They are special guard farm by your father himself," Elora added as she spotted her son glancing at the guard. She was little surprised by her son noticing the guard different from other.
Falco called his son and wife with a smile "Come, here."
“This is Baron Cirris and his daughter Eliss from the cloud family”
"Greetings, Baron Cirris and Miss Eliss," Nap said with a little bow.
Baron Cirris laughed and said “Falco you have really taught your son well.”
Falco smirked; pleased with himself for making the proper decision to perform a naming ceremony after his son learned to talk properly.
Eliss also got good impression of Nap due to his polite behaviors; she was just two years older than Nap and had also heard of this sleeping child.
“Son, take Miss Eliss to look around the palace.” Flaco blinked his one eye at his son without noticing by others.
Nap and Eliss left the main hallway.
As they walked around, Nap pondered ‘What a matching name, Cirris, Eliss? I don’t want a rhyming name like this.'
“What are you thinking?” Eliss asked.
"Miss, your name is quite magnificent. It’s dazzling like a star.”
"Nap, what do you think about me?" Eliss said with a little smile on her face.
With a low tone, Eliss added "I forgot you are just a baby who had just awoken, your and my father are discussing matching us both. But I'm not interested. I want my partner to be a brave and attractive who can compete with his generation."
'This girl's mother must have fed her with many fairy tales,' Nap thought inwardly, he was offended by Eliss words; the other party appeared to be just two years older than him, yet she viewed him as a milk-drinking toddler. He didn't know what types of partner this girl was talking to him.
Nap made a naughty face with his lips just slightly lifted "Miss, I'm not sure about the kind of partner you were referring to, but I am aware of the kinds of people I find the least appealing."
“Then tell me about it.” Eliss said with curious voice.
"Miss, there are many things I cannot express; nevertheless, I will show you an image of the most least appealing person later, you will then know yourself.”
Just as they were discussing, a servant came to call them for name ceremony ritual.
