‘All these racial skills are truly overpowered.’

‘Now, I’m certain high elves must be a rare race among elves.’

‘If not, then it means the world will be filled with god-like entities roaming around the world like mortals,’

‘I really have a lot to learn about this world and I’m sure Mama will be more than happy to teach me everything I need to know.’

‘Of course, I would like to read about this world as well, but I’m not sure I can read elven words yet.’

‘I guess I will have to let Mama know of my desire to read and learn first.’

‘So many things to do…’

‘Anyway, I’ll wait until I can speak coherently before asking her about this world and the races inhabiting this world as well.’

Orion yawned as he was feeling sleepy once again but then he remembered something.

‘Oh, that’s right.’

‘Mama said something about resting more.’

‘I understand why she would want me to rest. Since I’m currently a baby, it’s expected of me to sleep a lot.’

‘But I wonder what she meant by my body would be undergoing some changes soon?’

‘Does she mean my race will be changing soon?’

‘Or maybe I’ll be evolving into a dark elf or something else.’

Orion mulled over the possibilities of the things he thought of happening to him, but since he didn’t want to waste his time thinking too much about it, he decided to do something else.

‘Anyway, there’s really no point in thinking about this now, there are so many possibilities.’

‘I will think about this later.’

Orion yawned again. He could barely even stay awake. ‘I’m….too sleepy to think about anything for now.’

‘Let’s continue this tomorrow.’

Orion was about to fall asleep when a new prompt suddenly appeared in his mind, displaying several pieces of information to him.

[Congratulations on successfully completing the first stage of The Elf System titled ‘The Baby Elf System.]

[The Baby Elf System will now begin upgrading into the next stage.]

[Upgrading….2%]

[…5%]

The system began to upgrade itself and Orion decided to wait for the upgrade to be complete, but because he was feeling too drowsy, Orion slowly drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, Orion woke up to find himself resting on something soft and extremely comfortable.

His mother’s familiar soothing scent wafted into his nostrils and Orion felt even more safe and relaxed, knowing that he was close to his beloved mother.

Sensing that her cute little baby had woken up, Evelyn smiled and began to stroke the back of his head lovingly.

Orion instantly buried his head deeper into his mother’s chest and one of his hands landed on her huge breast, causing Evelyn to giggle at how her son didn’t want to let go of her.

“Fufufu….. Is baby still interested in feeding from Mama’s breast?”

“Are you hungry, dear?”

Orion raised his head to see his mother smiling at him lovingly. “Yes, mama. I am h…” He paused mid-sentence, noticing the slight difference in his voice which was totally different from how he sounded yesterday.

Orion’s eyes suddenly widened in shock.

He immediately sat on the bed, but then he noticed that his hands were a bit bigger than they were yesterday.

While he was still confused about how he suddenly grew up and changed drastically overnight, Orion heard his mother giggling behind him.

“Fufufu, you’ve noticed the changes in your body, haven’t you?”

“H-how is this possible? W-what is wrong with me?” Orion asked in a cute little elven voice. His voice sounded both confused and scared at the terrifying rate he had grown.

“There’s nothing wrong with you, dear,” Evelyn assured him with a kiss on his forehead.

“But why am I bigger than yesterday?”

“How did I suddenly learn how to speak more fluently?” Orion asked Evelyn with a puzzled and worried look on his face.

He had a lot more questions to ask his mother, but he decided to limit them to these two for now.

As far as Orion could remember, while he had been back on Earth, it took babies a couple of months before they were able to speak as fluently as he did just now.

However, he wasn’t sure if things worked differently for elves, but he was hoping his mother could help shed some light on his sudden growth spurt.
