Another World
In the corner of a small room, inside a wooden cradle, a baby holds on to the bars of the cradle and tries to stand up, failing monumentally, as he does not have enough strength to hold his body weight.
Getting up should be easier. Speaking of which, when do babies start walking?
Maybe a 7 day old baby walking is not the norm.

Getting Crying was easy and natural, it was the way I found to get food and other basic personal hygiene services.
The part that "your intentions while crying are clearer", intrigues me a lot, what else can I do with this? Can I put it into my normal speech or gestures? It wouldn't be bad at all, or even just do the opposite, make my intention less sharp, to improve my sarcasm.
Observation was also easy, since it's practically all I do, besides crying and eating.
I am in a room that shouldn't be more than 80ft², entirely made of wood, like the rest of the house, inside the room there is my cradle, which is in the corner with only one door and one window, two wooden chairs, positioned beside the cradle, a small wooden table, and two vases with plants, I define it as dull.
I try to get up and once again I fell like a sack of potatoes, seriously, I am almost giving up.
There is also my baba, who stays the whole day looking out the window or sleeping, only being useful when I want to eat.
Math is already on Level 14 and I don't see any difference or improvement when I do math.
It must have something to do with the blocking of the system.

Once again I hold the wooden bars of my cradle, very delicately since I don't want to break them, use all my strength to lift my body and climb almost two centimeters before I lose the strength in my arms and fall.
I am starting to get irritated by this.
Because of the severe physical effort you got the status "Tired Out"
I didn't like that.
I learned that I don't have to shout to use the state window, just a thought is enough.

I try to concentrate on Tired but nothing happens, I guess it's self-explanatory.
I rest for about twenty minutes before I try one more time, and the Tired Status doesn't go away, I brace myself, put my hands around the bar, take a deep breath and pull with everything, and something comes out of place.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH"
The welcoming embrace of the darkness takes me in and I collapse.

Unknown Mansion
"Knock Knock"
In the middle of the night, I am interrupted from my reading.
"Come in" I speak, to the door.
My servant enters and speaks agitatedly "Master, sorry to disturb you, but a servant of the Baros family is at the door, and requests your services, with extreme urgency"
Strange, I wonder what happened.
I go downstairs and see the sweaty and worried servant of the Baros house.
"What is the problem?
"I'm sorry Mr. Gregory, but something happened to the young master, in the middle of the night, he let out a scream and then passed out, and we couldn't get him to wake up" says the servant almost yelling at me.
Well isn't the young master just a baby? well anyway it doesn't matter.
"How much is old Jair willing to part with for that?"
The servant tries to hide his frown, but can't "The master said that as long as you go quickly and solve the problem he will give you your weight in silver"
It seems that it took a son for the old man to open his hands "Robert, go get my tools and have the wagon prepared".
It doesn't take long for Robert to return with my bag and the wagon arrives a little later, and soon we are heading towards the Baros' house.
When we arrive, I am already escorted to a small room, almost without furniture, where there is a cradle with the baby.
I place my hand on the child's head, examine his body, with my Skills, I don't find any problems, apart from the dislocated shoulder, a strange injury for a baby, mistreatment of a servant? It doesn't make sense, there is little bruising and the swelling has barely started, it doesn't look like the damage was external, but strange still.
I examine it again, more carefully this time, I see no external bruising of any kind, no marks or signs, just the dislocated right shoulder.
I open my bag and take out the Tiarin Pen and pierce the baby's finger and there is no reaction, no poison or infection.
I don't feel mana in the air, I take the Purity of Benivolent ring from my bag and put it on my finger, I activate it, touch the child and he has no reaction, I don't understand, how could a baby dislocate his shoulder all by himself?
I put on my gloves and begin to recover the boy, gently put the bone in place, use my control to the maximum, and finish after forty minutes, take some atuduras, and immobilize the shoulder as much as I can, without cutting the circulation, with this he should be fine, but to ensure, I give a strong sedative to the child, use my favorite spell strong sleep and the Skill Injection of Courage.
With that the child should recover, no problem.
"Is it over?"
I turn around and see Jair without his normal smugness.
"Yes, I'm done" wiping the sweat from my forehead, I sit up.
"What happened" Jair speaks to me as if I know.
"Well honestly, I think he dislocated his shoulder" a smile almost escapes me, but I manage to hold it back.
"I think he'd better be okay, for you to make fun of this situation" now he is annoying me.
"He's fine, he'll be fully recovered by tomorrow" I say and the old man doesn't change his expression.
"Then why doesn't he wake up?
"Well, why he doesn't wake up is easy, overexertion, added to the pain of dislocating his shoulder, was too much for him, leading to fainting, you should be more concerned about how he dislocated his shoulder" he managed to make an even more serious face, I thought it wasn't possible, I shouldn't be having so much fun with this situation.
