That night, I slept in the couple's bed, my...parent's... bed it's weird to call them that, but indeed, they are my biological parents in this world.
In the middle of the night, I decided to check my...mother's stat using [Oracle eye].

Damn, that's some final boss stats!! The vanilla game would max a character at level 200!! For her to reach level 318 should be extraordinary!! How many monsters did she kill exactly?! And look at her luck stat!! Over 1000!! That may explain how her stupid plan worked!! Usually, artifacts come with very harsh drawbacks. She could've lost levels, stats, or her wish could've been twisted in a fucked up way!!
Her sealed vitality and constitution explain how she ended up burned when she saved me, even though I bet her burns weren't that severe, and me who thought that her maternal instinct helped her to endure the pain!! I feel cheated!! Anyway, she is my mother now and it's my responsibility to care for her. I bet I can break this curse even in my infant state, can't I?
Since this is a legendary grade Curse, I could easily break it using the mythical artifact tear of Artiria the goddess of purity. The good news is that I do have it in my inventory, but the bad news is that I can't explain to her how to use such a dangerous treasure, we can't rely on her luck only to deal with the drawbacks. I can probably communicate with her using [telepathy] skill, but unless I'm obligated to, I want her to keep thinking that I'm just a baby, plus, I have no idea how she will react if she discovers that I'm a reincarnated person.
This option being out of the way, I decide to opt for my second easiest solution, magic!! The perk [unbound magic] will ignore the disparity of class between the spell [purify] and this legendary curse. Of course, I could use a higher grade spell like [waterfall of benevolent spirits], but I'm trying to do this without anyone noticing, and that spell, is very hard to go unnoticed.
I extend my hand to touch her fingers and try to sense mana flowing through her body, this feels so different from the game, even with all the best magic mods and immersion mods I could never expect such complexity and details. The Oracle told me that if I try to use my skills manually, I will be able to push them beyond what they're supposed to do.
I scan her body with my [Mana Sense], and I perceive the mana flowing through her, it doesn't circulate very fast, and her mana ways aren't that much developed, since she wasn't a caster, but her body was an impressive temple of strength perfectly suiting her Berserker class. Quickly, I locate the curse under her navel. It looked like thick viscous muck, it was so disgusting!! it made me want to puke. That hideous muck disturbed her mana flow and ate on her vitality, I understand now how it sealed her stats and made her unable to have children, it would kill the fetus by sucking his vitality. I have no idea how I came to life in these conditions.
I silently cast [Purify], a common spell that dissipates diseases and negative effects. I send the spell through my mother's mana circulation and feel her mana ways enlarge while speeding her circulation. This will give her a bigger mana pool and faster mana regeneration. When I reach the curse it shivers in fear sensing her last moments, it tries to shift and escape my grasp but I had already cornered it. The hardest thing about high-level curses is their survivability, they are almost sentient, they learn and adapt to become resistant to removal, that's why I need to act quickly, and break it from the first try.

[Unbound magic] perk never gave that curse any chance to fight back, it made the [Purify] spell eat that muck like it was nothing.
The whole process took less than a second, I have to admit [thought acceleration] distort time to such a degree, it will be fun to see it work in a real fight!!
Congratulations!! You broke the legendary level curse of the Witch of Death
You gained 3000 XP
YES!! YES!! GIMMEH DAT SWEET EXPERIENCE!!
[Akashic Library] has registered the curse of the Witch of Death. During a new encounter, you will be able to dissipate it automatically.
Noise!! I forgot about that skill!! [Akashic Library] is a modded skill that registers all magic spells I encounter and how to counter-attack them, then automatically deploys the counter-attacks when detected. It can be very useful during big battles when spells are flying from every direction and you don't know where the next hit will come from.

(Y/N)
From the excitement, I start screaming, but thank goodness nobody woke up. This is huge!! I can perfectly see my 9999 luck at display here, granting me more rewards than I should. I'm just a couple of days old and I already gained so many!! And this human variant!! I never heard about it before!! I'm sure that it didn't exist in the vanilla game, without thinking about it I mentally select yes.
You will be rendered unconscious while mutating please be patient.
As I fall unconscious I still can't believe what's happening!! This is the best night of my life!!
