Chapter 2
When John (now Thomas Stark) was finally settled back in the nursery, he mentally spoke, his voice a thought in the silent void of his consciousness.
System please explain your functions
"Yes Host, My Functions are primarily centered on managing the gifts granted to you by the Entity you call R.O.B."
The System's voice was androgynous, calm, and sounded like the deep, melodic hum of a finely tuned machine.
"My core functions are as follows:"
⚙️ Core System Functions
Omniverse Travel Module: This is the interface that allows you to select, prepare for, and initiate travel to any known fictional reality in the Omniverse.
Selection: You will be presented with a customizable list of accessible worlds
(movies, anime, games, literature, etc.).
Preparation: Before travel, you will be given a mission briefing and a grace period to prepare yourself and any chosen companions.
Cooldown: A mandatory cooldown period is required between all travels. The duration is determined by the complexity of the previous journey.
Rimuru Tempest Power Core: This module regulates and accesses the vast array of abilities granted by the Great Sage/Raphael and Beelzebub skills, along with all associated physical attributes and resistances.
Integration Status: The powers are fully integrated into your new body, effectively making you a unique spiritual lifeform residing within a human infant's shell.
Control/Regulation: Due to the physical limitations of an infant body, the system automatically regulates the power output. Unrestrained use could cause physical harm to your current vessel. You will gain access to more complex skills as your body matures.
Memory Integration/Safeguard: This function ensures the complete and continuous memory retention of your past life as John Brooks and all subsequent experiences. It also processes and files the vast data inherent in the Rimuru power set, preventing mental overload.
Status/Skill Display: Allows for a real-time, mental display of your current statistics, active skills, and physical condition. Simply think: 'Status.'
⚠️ Initial Constraint Warning
"Host, due to your current infantile state, your magicule count and physical strength are drastically restricted to prevent your body from being incinerated by its own power. You are currently only capable of using rudimentary skills.
Current Unrestricted Skill:
Great Sage (Partial): Analysis, calculation, and low-level knowledge acquisition. Full ability is locked until you can verbally communicate and possess the necessary mental maturity.
Current Body Restriction: 99.9999% of all power is sealed.
This seal will gradually degrade as your body grows, with significant milestones at childhood (age 5-7), adolescence (age 13-16), and full physical maturity (age 20-22)."
Thomas lay there, a genius brain trapped in a swaddled, six-hour-old body, processing the information.
This is going to be a long, long wait, he thought with a mental sigh that only the System could perceive. Still, a Stark, Rimuru's powers, and the Omniverse... I can't complain.
"System, display Status."

Wait, 'Omniverse Traveler' is an Extra Skill? I guess the ROB integrated the wish that way. System, can I travel now?
"Negative, Host. The Omniverse Travel Module requires an activation and preparation period which is set to coincide with your body reaching basic motor and cognitive functions. Minimum Age Requirement: 3 years old."
Three years. Right. Time to get used to being pampered, rich, and helpless. My first challenge: surviving Tony Stark's infancy.
He heard a tiny, high-pitched wail from the bassinet next to him—the sound of his younger twin brother.
Oh, boy. Here we go.
