nOutside the Nursery, Maximus paced back and forth, worried about his wife Angeline giving birth.

nAfter a while, just before he heard the news of his wife successfully giving birth.

nA notification popped up on his system: 1 child, potential rank 4 legendary.

nWithout looking at it further, he stormed into the room and looked at his wife.

nLooking at Angeline and the cute baby girl, a smile appeared on his lips.

n“Are you alright?” Maximus asked with concern.

n“It’s fine. It didn’t feel like much, thanks to the potion and magic item you prepared,” Angeline smiled as she hugged the baby.

nThe caretaker quickly left, not wanting to bother them.

nMaximus felt relieved and turned his attention to the newborn baby.

nThe baby had no wrinkles that one would typically see in a child.

nIt looked like she was already a few months old, observing her surroundings with curiosity.

nThis was probably thanks to the child’s legendary talent and the multiple resources Angeline took during her conception, especially the drops of origin mana.

nAs he noticed that when his pregnant wives had taken tier 3 origin potions to upgrade their potential to Rare, it had taken more than others.

n“Have you thought of a name for her?” Angeline asked him in anticipation.

n“Let’s just call her Serene, like a star that shines through us,” Maximus said.

nMaximus played with them for a while, waiting for Angeline to fully recover.

nAfter all, despite using potent potions, there were still physiological factors that needed for Angeline to relax.

nEventually, seeing the two mother and daughter sleeping, Maximus quietly left, allowing them to rest.

n…

nAt night, a celebration began among his family.

nAlthough it was called a celebration, it was just the usual gathering for a meal, but with more smiles and interaction.

nAngeline was already able to stand and engage in physical activities after just one rest.

nWith the potion and Angeline’s strength as an official mage, it was quite easy for her.

n“So cute,” Lydia exclaimed as she pinched baby Serene’s cheeks.

n“Aww, we have a new baby sister,” Lyla said, hoping to hug Serene.

n“Yes, I’m tired of taking care of naughty boys,” Lily added as she gently poked Serene’s cheeks, causing the baby to smile.

nMeanwhile, the boys didn’t pay much attention after seeing their newly added sister.

nAfter all, they had been shooed away by their sisters when they attempted to play with baby Serene.

nAs for Liam, he was busy chatting with Amara.

nAmara: Congratulations on your new sister.

nLiam: Thanks.

nLiam: What are you doing?

nAmara: I’m reading on the Moonlight Forum about various events happening throughout the kingdom.

nLiam: Oh, that’s nice.

nAmara: What about you?

nLiam: Nothing.

n…

nMax, seeing that his older brother was not playing with them and was busy tinkering with his token, became intrigued about what Liam was doing.

n“What are you doing, brother?” Max asked as he looked at the blurred virtual panel projected on Liam’s token.

nBlurred virtual panel is just what others see, as a privacy feature.

n“Nothing!” Liam nearly had a heart attack and quickly closed the token.

n“Oh? But I saw you doing something,” Max was puzzled.

n“I said nothing,” Liam refuted with a heavy tone.

n“Whatever, I saw what I saw.” Max just rolled his eyes at his older brother.

nAlthough Max was playful, he was not easy to fool.

nPlus, the photographic potion he had drunk ensured that his memory was impeccable.

n“Then, shut up,” Liam sighed, realizing it was not easy to deceive his brother.

n“You go play on your own. I’ll join you later.” Knowing that Max would pester him if he didn’t play with them, Liam relented.

nSeeing Max turn his back, Liam quickly took his token and bid farewell to Amara.

nLiam: I’ll talk to you later.

nAmara: Alright.𝑶𝐯xt.𝓒𝑂𝑚

n…

nMore than a week later, Rose also gave birth to a boy.

n 1 Child, Potential Rank 4 Legendary

nBefore Maximus could go to his wife, Rose, who had just finished labor, another notification popped up.

nSystem Updating…

nPrevious defects repairing…

nSeeing the system debugging caused a shock to Maximus.

n“What update? What repair?” he wondered.

nHe could understand updates, as he had been baptized by novels in his previous life where systems would upgrade after certain criteria were met.

nFor example, with this being his 10th child, it likely met certain criteria.

nSeeing that the debugging would still take time to finish, Maximus prioritized taking care of his wife, Rose, first.

nJust like Serene, this newborn baby was also very lively.

nAfter some sweet talk with Rose, Maximus decided to name the baby Neo, symbolizing a new beginning or the start of something.

nThat night, they also celebrated the birth of baby Neo, which brought smiles to their family.

nNow, only Irene had not given birth.

nMaximus planned that once Irene gave birth, they would leave and go to the Arcane Continent.

n…

nAt night, on top of the castle where Maximus could see the entire Moonshadow City illuminated by bright alchemy light.

nThe atmosphere brought him a sense of calm as he watched the system nearing the end of debugging.

n99.8%…99.9%…100%

nFamily and Power System:

nUser: Maximus Shadowcrest

nSoul: Tier 3 Nescent Mage- lvl3

nBody: Tier 4 Sky Knight – lvl1

nMana Amplitude: 1.2

nMana Compatibility: Rank 4 Legendary

nMachanic Comprehension: Rank 2 Uncommon (Further Classification…)

nAlchemist Comprehension: Rank 2 Uncommon (Further Classification…)

nSpell Comprehension: Rank 2 Uncommon (Further Classification…)

nBattle Comprehension: Rank 2 Uncommon (Further Classification…)

n…

nThere were endless classifications of potential, including ones for cooking, music, swordsmanship, spearmanship, and more.

nMaximus decided to click on the ‘further classification’ to see what is it about.

nMechanic: Basics of Mechanics – Expert (4,233

/10,000)

nComposition of Different Materials – Proficient (735

/1,000)

nRune Writing – Initial (52

/100)

n…

nThe screen displayed a wide range of knowledge and skills that Maximus had previously learned, all of which were connected to the Mechanic profession.

nThrough further experimentation, Maximus discovered that he could use potential points to upgrade his potential in specific professions or skills.

nEach potential point added the equivalent of 10 points when applied to a skill, and 100 points when applied to various areas of knowledge.

nAs for the reason why he had a rank 2 uncommon talent in all categories except Mana Compatibility.

nIt was due to the incredible power of the Mage cultivation manual ‘Divine Consciousness.’

nSimply training in it had upgraded his comprehension, which in turn enhanced his potential in skills related to comprehension.

nMaximus was uncertain of the limits of how far the Divine Consciousness could upgrade his potential.

nHe then examined the changes in the system’s functions regarding the generation of gold points and potential points through his children and wives.

nWives:

nErica: Great Mage

/Official Knight, Rare Potential, 1,110 LP * Life Point per day

nHazel: Great Mage

/Official Knight, Rare Potential, 1,110 LP

nLuna: Official Mage

/ Earth Knight, Rare Potential, 2,010 LP

nLivia: Official Mage

/ Earth Knight, Rare Potential, 2,010 LP

nAngeline: Offical Mage

/Official Knight, Rare Potential, 1,020 LP

nRose: Offical Mage

/Official Knight, Rare Potential, 1,020 LP

nIrene: Offical Mage

/Official Knight, Rare Potential, 1,020 LP

nChildren:

nLily: Apprentice Knight, Rare Potential, 1,001 P * potential point per day

nLiam: Official Knight, Rare Potential, 1,010 P

nMax: Apprentice Knight, Rare Potential, 1,001 P

nNathan: Apprentice Knight, Rare Potential, 1,001 P

nLyla: Apprentice Knight, Rare Potential, 1,001 P

nLydia: Apprentice Knight, Rare Potential, 1,001 P

nSam: Apprentice Knight, Rare Potential, 1,001 P

nLuke: Apprentice Knight, Rare Potential, 1,001 P

nSerene: Newborn, Legendary Potential, 10,000 P

nNeo: Newborn, Legendary Potential, 10,000 P

nThe first and foremost change was the introduction of Life Points.

nThrough trial and error, Maximus discovered that 1 Life Point equated to 1 day of time. Note it’s time not vitality or whatsoever.

nLife Points had versatile applications. He could use them to add time to himself or others and even consume the time of objects or living beings.

nFor instance, Maximus observed a plant brimming with vitality and decided to add Life Points to it.

nThe plant grew rapidly, eventually reaching its flowering period.

nAs he continued to add Life Points, the plant’s lifespan extended, until it eventually withered away.

nThis meant that with enough Life Points, Maximus could consume the life of his opponents.

nMaximus also attempted to add Life Points to the subcategory in the potential tab:

nBasic of Mechanics – Expert (4,233

/10,000)

n 200, Basic of Mechanics – Expert (4,433

/10,000)

nBy adding 1 Life Point, he was able to experience studying the Basics of Mechanics within his mind for a day.

nLife Points functioned differently from Potential Points, as they added experience based on the ease of mastering knowledge and the individual’s talent in that subject.

nUnlike Potential Points, which could be added consistently with specific values.

nThe second change involved the system no longer being stingy with points, whether they were Potential Points or the newly added Life Points.

nPreviously, point increases were solely based on strength, which was quite limited.

nHowever, the system now awarded points based on talent, and the number of professions with respect to their tier.

nLike the number of points generated based on tier, the potential to generate points is the same.

nFor instance, Rank 0 trash potential granted 1 point, Rank 1 common potential granted 10 points, and Rank 2 uncommon potential granted 100 points.

nMaximus turned his attention to the rest of the system’s updates:

nMyriad World Mall

nInventory: 1

nGold: 269 Billion Gold Points

nHe focused on the newly added Inventory and the transformation of the Mall into the Myriad World Mall.

nCurious, he clicked on the Inventory.

nInventory: Z’thraxalumnar…#p j!ngle$

nAs he clicked on it, his consciousness was drawn into a vast, infinite space enveloped in pure white color.

nIn the center, there was a bundle of chaotic light, which he assumed was the ‘Z’thraxalumnar…#p j!ngle$.’

nAs Maximus attempted to approach it with his consciousness, it swiftly merged with him, inundating him with a tremendous amount of information about the system’s origins and the causes of its damage.
