“What!”. Maximus could not believe what he was seeing on the status board. The child in front of him possesses an S-class mana level. This should have been a reason for him to celebrate the birth, but the child is a girl, which meant her mana would be absorbed by the crystal and transferred to his male heir. But that wasn’t promising because all the women that he slept with gave birth to girls.
There are five known aura users in the world, and each of them possesses unique abilities, but no one knows what ability they possess. Maximus possessed the ability to steal a person’s mana. But this ability has a requirement. To steal a person’s mana, he would have to consume a part of the person’s body.
Maximus looked down to see a defenseless child with the power he was searching for. But even though he’s a cold and heartless man, there were lines even he wouldn’t cross.
Guess ill have to wait until you are all grown up. He thought with an evil smirk as he rubbed Joon’s face with his fingers.
He turned his head towards the palace system. “Helena… that will be her name. because she is my shining light.”

[calculating mana level]
[S-class mana level confirmed]

[Begin mana extraction]
“No. do not extract.” Maximus commanded.
[canceling mana extraction confirmed]

A notification board appeared.
If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
“What is it now? Oh, I got a name. Helena. Hmmm, I like it.” Joon smiled. The name slot is finally filled. Getting a name was just the beginning. To survive in this world, she needed power, and to get this power, she has to figure out how the systems work.
Is there a way to switch the status board without swiping every time? my baby hands are getting tired? Helena complained.

THE HOST CAN SWITCH FROM THE MAIN SYSTEM TO THE SUBSYSTEM BY NAME WITH JUST A THOUGHT
“Ok…what name should I pick? I am not good at naming… Oh. I got one. What about ‘alpha?’.” she said with gusto. She picked this name because of the skills in this system.

NAME CONFIRMED: ALPHA
“So that’s done. Now let’s get to the major topic. How do I level up?” She asked. After seeing how easy it was for her father to take another human life without blinking. She realized that this world followed the rules of the jungle. The strong lives and the weak die. There was no telling when her crazy-ass father or someone else would try to take her life. But with the systems, she could defend herself in this unknown world.

THE HOST CAN INCREASE HIS LEVEL BY OBTAINING EXPERIENCE POINTS
“Well, I know that. What am asking is how do I get experience point?” She asked. Getting experience points to increase your level is common sense to anyone who plays games. But the problem was that every game has different ways you can get Exp, like a killing monster for Exp or completing a quest given by NPC. The problem was that this wasn’t a game where you can get exp from Npcs and she knew nothing about the monsters in this world and worst of all, he is now a girl in the medieval era.

THE HOST CAN GAIN EXP BY KILLING ANY LIVING CREATURE AND COMPLETING DAILY TASKS, BUT THE HOST CAN COMPLETE NEITHER OF THEM UNTIL YOU CAN WALK.
“Ok. oh, I almost forgot, did Ella hear me when I am talking to you?” she asked with worry on her face. There was no way she was going to trust an unknown being that jumped into her body with permission.

NEGATIVE.
THE SUB-SYSTEM CAN NOT DETECT THE MAIN-SYSTEM WITHOUT
AUTHORIZATION FROM THE HOST.
Helena sighed in relief, then switched back to Ella.
“I can’t believe that a human like you would compare me…” it surprises Helena to see Ella still rambling on the same topic.
This means that she gets was stuck in time when I switch systems. Helena thought with a smile on her face while staring at Ella boasting about how great she was.
Helena interrupts Ella’s monologue. “Can you show me the system store you were bragging about?”
Ella frowned and turned her back towards Helena. Even though she had lived for thousands of years, she had never met such a rude human before and it was the first time she met a baby that can think.
