“Huh? Welcome to your locked regression?” John said. “What exactly is a locked regression? No, actually, what are you?”
The screen in front of him replied: I am a system.
“HUH?! WHAT IN THE WORLD IS A SYSTEM?” John violently said out loud.
The system replied: I am here to guide you to your end goal.
“And what exactly is my ‘end goal’” John asked, being sassy in the process with air quotes.
Everything will be disclosed to you at the perfect time. Which means, you must wait if you wish to learn your end goal, the system stated matter-of-factly.
“Well, this is pretty freaky. I think I might go now.”
Wait. You don’t know how to walk. I advise saying in your bed until I transfer over all the basic information you need into your head, the system said.
“Nah, ima do my own thing.” John started the motion to get up, which was already transferred to his mind. Remember, when John lost all his memories, he lost ALL HIS MEMORIES. He didn’t know how to talk, but the system gave him information he needed to know to survive. Such as: how to eat, sleep, run, walk, fight and most importantly, conduct mana. However, even though John knew the motion of getting up, he could not get up. In fact, he went crashing down on the bed.
“Huh? What kind of (bleep) is this?” It seems that John retained his matured mind after his regression since he was able to curse.
YOU MUST WAIT UNTIL THE TRANSFER IS DONE, the system said angrily. It was holding John down with its power and stopping him from getting up.

“Fine, I’ll just wait it out.” John said, and started waiting.

BZZT! A jolt woke up John, who has been resting for 5 hours.
“Come on, I was having such a splendid sleep too.” John muttered, and got out of bed. The system in front of him said: The transfer has been 100% completed. Now John was like how he was in the previous world, including his intelligence, personality but also his power level and skills at the time he regressed. He managed to bring his mana pool and skills from his previous life and combined it with the mana pool and the skills of this life. However, John did not know that and was just walking down the stairs. His bedroom was near a small but useful bathroom and was on the right side of the top floor of the 2-story house his family stayed in. The house was very simple and ordinary, like any other modern 2-story house.
“Well, well, well, look who finally woke up” A 9 year old-girl (4 years older than John) said as she saw John approach the dining table sleepily.
“Dunt dak do me.” John whined, imitating a five year-old. Why is John imitating a five year-old? Well, because, he’s five years old in this timeline.
“Oh, look who has an attitude. Come and eat your breakfast., whittle bwaby. Talk in that babyish language again and you’re done for.” The 9 year-old girl, who was John’s sister Adria, stated.
“Fine.” John stated.
“Good. Now dig in!” Adria started doing as she said, and John followed suit. The breakfast was… oh yeah, John didn’t learn emotions yet. Well, after the system kickstarted it, John thought the breakfast was good . After all, it was made by his mother. 15 minutes later, John finished his breakfast and went out to “play”. Nah, he was just exploring the forgotten neighborhood he was in. After he did that, he went back to his house.
You have a new quest, the system said.
“What is it?” John replied.
You must complete the Overpowered Kid Training Regimen Daily Quest Chain or else, the system replied.
“The… what o what?” John asked, confused.
Sigh… the OKTRDQC, the system replied.
“Damn, I didn’t know you could sigh, system. Anyways, I’m ready for these quests.” John replied, with a determined look on his face.
