[Opens bronze box.].
I calmed down, stared at the message, and that was when the bronze box image appeared. An alluring light leaked through a crack inside the box. It drives me crazy because it looks like it's going to open up, but it's not.
Ordinary crews get their nature when they open their first box, and bronze boxes only tend to have low-level rewards. I expect an increase in my stats instead of traits because I have gained the super class nature S – Men Overcoming Adversity. I especially want the Sense stat to increase, more than anything else, because my baby's body needs to continue to develop Sense first.
Fortunately, my mother was sleeping like a block of wood and did not notice the supernatural occurrences happening right next to her.
The box finally opened. Holy hooch!
[YourSense has increased by 3.]
[Current level: None (4)]
Yep! This is what I expected! The statistic that controls the muscles in the body is not Strength but Sense, and therefore is much needed for babies. Even if I was wrapped in a blanket, I always felt like my limbs were trying to move out by themselves, but now they were calm. This is why I choose to do tasks in the status window for a reward rather than exercising to grow the muscles in my limbs. I guess there might be benefits even if my Strength or Health improved rather than Sense.
And lastly…
[Challenge box will be opened.]
Even S class could open the challenger box only once or twice in their lives. If they don't have enough patience, then there isn't. That beautiful box was clearly embedded in my eyes. The light coming out of the challenger box was completely different from the light coming out of the bronze box.
A dazzling and bright light emanated from the box as if it could illuminate the entire world, and I had to close my eyes. People said, the light of the challenger box has the ability to heal wounds. However, I did not have any injuries because I was under the care of my mother. I was proud that the light disappeared without any effect on me.
I opened my eyes as soon as the light faded. It could not be an item because its light would continue to shine if there was something left. Rather, it should be a trait, skill, or a drastic improvement on my stats. I only wanted anything other than the item unless the item exceeded super class S.

Eight Evil and Eight Virtues. They are called by this title in some cultures that use Chinese characters, but others call them by different designations. Although they are called by many names, one fact remains the same. When they appear in the world, the battle with the Unknown has turned into a civil war between humans.
We don't know much about them. We were too busy fighting each other, and too overwhelmed studying this damn System and what caused this monster invasion.
There are sixteen of the most powerful S-classes in the world. Eight were loyal to the System and given virtuous titles, and eight others rejected the System and were given evil titles. Only by mentioning those who followed the virtuous System, could it be seen that the majority liked and followed him. However, this does not mean there are good ones because there are so many contradictions between these classes and the situation around them.
The biggest problem is that these supernatural beings classified as Virtues claim that something greater than us pity humans and give us abilities in an intuitive and irresistible way through the System; however, this System has also tortured mankind in various strange ways. Another contradiction in view is that the eight Crimes that reject the System have used it to become stronger.
Of course, I am not on my side, and both are my enemies. Not because I was as strong as them, but I had reached the conclusion that stopping them would end the civil war between mankind in front of the unharmed monsters. There are many other events that I don't want to remember.
The Eight Evils and the Eight Virtues would not even think that they had fought against me because for them, we would... No, I'm just gonna be a mosquito bothering an elephant.
I still remember the Sixth Virtue, which was an immature child who bragged about his skills but was strong enough to be part of the Eight Virtues. His main skill was 'Odin's Wrath', a buff-type skill that was useful in various situations.
Yeah, that's true. The reason why it took me so long to explain this skill was because this skill of the unborn child had just emerged from my challenger box.
[You have obtained the skill 'Odin's Wrath'.]
Holy hooch!

I woke up crying and realized I was crying hard. Today was the day that I obtained the same main skill as the Sixth Virtue that had mocked me in the past and successfully completed the quest. My Stat Sense increased by 3 and Strength increased by 1. Although I am happy, my dream is a nightmare.
The sheets on the calendar have been torn off one by one, and I can see that it's May 15th. I know it…..
“Nak, Son. Are you having nightmares?”
My mom picked me up and made eye contact. She was very young back then, but her smile and eyes remained beautiful even when she was old. No boy could continue to cry when he saw his mother smiling at him like that. When I immediately stopped crying, my mother was happy and praised me that I was the best son ever.
However, the dream that made me cry was still on my mind. That day was scary for everyone. The supreme leaders of the most powerful countries have announced together that humans can not only overcome this crisis but can also control monsters. But then monsters, which looked like creatures that only appeared in nightmares, flowed in the gaps between dimensions.
We saw in the meeting hall with the gathered reserve army that there were weaker monsters that were vulnerable to our modern science and monsters of higher level, he said, far more powerful than our weapons can resist. The latter is a drastic threat to our civilization, and it forces countries with nuclear weapons to use it.
My nightmare is about one day far in the future.
In 2011, a tsunami hit the eastern part of Japan, contaminated by radioactivity. Our soldiers are sad just because they cannot travel to Japan. However, I do not know if Japan has hidden anything or whether there has been a transaction or coercion, but countries including Japan that detonated their nuclear weapons on their land made our soldiers wail in despair.
It started with the wailing of an old man. Anyone could feel the helplessness of humanity from the situation we were in because a high-level monster had survived a nuclear attack.
I remember crying that day until my tears dried up, even when I entered the test, and also when I became a Risen person.

My search was completely tailored to my growth and development. As soon as I completed the ASI drinking quest, turned around and sat down by myself, I received another quest to stand alone. As I have mentioned before, the statistics are increased by completing the search only on the basis of growth, so that ordinary people can also achieve it.
However, the increased Sense value of the bronze box had made me grow faster than any other baby my age. For example, because I can control my body better with Sense, I can provide more accurate stimulation to any part of the body I want. It helps my muscles to grow and strengthen themselves naturally.
Have you ever seen a two-month-old baby stand alone? It's an incredible pace of growth even if I have to sustain something.
[You have completed the quest 'Being Healthy 4'.]
[Your strength increases 1.]
[You have earned 3 points.]
[Total points: 12]
My mother was doing laundry, thinking I was sleeping. Washing machines were rare in those days, and although my owner's family owned one, we never had one because we couldn't afford such a luxury. Fortunately, the weather became much warmer, so I didn't have to look at my mother's chapped hands anymore.
Suddenly, I heard a voice outside. I immediately sat down on the blanket and lay down, then smiled at my mother with an innocent look. The smile came naturally after seeing my mother looking at me with love even if I didn't push myself. I use all my facial muscles like I've never done before.
“My son is a smiling baby. You smile every time you see your mom. Do you like me very much? Am I so pretty?”
Yes mother. You're beautiful. So I have to be more careful. My mother would worry about a two-month-old baby standing on its own. In fact, my mother had already begun to notice that I was different from other babies. I heard him ask my aunt a question over the phone this morning that she thought I recognized him, I suddenly became heavier, and I stopped babbling, crying for milk, she said, and rocking my limbs. All his words were filled with love but also worry.
“Son, grow up healthy. I love you so much,” my mother lifted me up and whispered.
I love you too, Mother. Oh, mum.
