“[Switch: Monk],” Bel said. “[Regeneration].”
“What was that?” Kyle asked, walking with everyone toward the Fifth Land's city.
“I’m just fixing my back.”
“Not that, the switch thing.”
“Oh, just a skill set we got when we formed a party.”
“Is that common?” he scratched his head. “I usually only hear one word when skills are activated.”
Bel pondered a bit. “It’s pretty rare I guess.”
“I see.”
Before them was a door with [Guards] in front. They let them in without issue.
Kyle looked back while traversing, “Hey, do you know there are guards? Don’t the System have a… what is it again, pe—”
“Penalty,” Bel filled in.
“Yeah, that.”
“It’s not enough to dissuade some people, so sometimes we need their [Silence] skill to shut the assholes’ skills.”
“I see, I see.”
What was Kyle’s deal? He was asking too many basic questions, was he an orphan like Astor? They don't seem to know each other though, and there is only one orphanage in the world as far as she knew.
The city opened wide before them as they traversed the last tunnel. Like the Second Land, places were lit up with light crystals, except brighter, as they were underground.
Kyle wheeled Rhea around as if it was normal. They visited the city, and Kyle asked many, questions. Mainly about how things worked, he was like Astor when they first met; ever-curious. And also lacking common sense. Kyle almost ate a poisonous fruit.
“You can not eat that!” Cayn scolded him.
He replied, “But it looks delicious.”
“That’s no good reason, come here.”
Kyle did as told.
“[Cure].”
“Oh, thanks, but I just licked it. Isn’t it fine?”
“I would rather not take risks.”
“By the way, where’s your friend with the cat ears?”
Bel searched for Astor, not around. It’s not the first time he did that; he was kidnapped; the second time he played with random cats, which happened a lot at the Fourth Land.
“Probably playing with some cats somewhere.”
Cayn nodded.
“Whoa, I need the handsome dude around me. I like his lack of energy; it fits Rhea’s vibe, and the whole thing is less weird when he’s around.”
It was true that wheeling around someone who looked like they got hit by a dragon on the head was weird.
“Let’s go look for him,” Cayn proposed.
They walked around, retracing their way. Across many shops and stands, through various crowds and bypassers. There was Astor, in an alleyway, with cats.
“Blue-eyes, you can’t disappear without telling us.”
“Sorry, I just wanted to pet them quickly.”
“But you got stuck, huh?” Bel said, crouching down to pet the cats as well.
The others got to it as well. Five cats for five persons. Except one of them was asleep, but still; it’s the spirit that counts.
Kyle spoke, “I’ve seen some people talking with animals and them responding, is there a way to speak with them?”
What a weird question, Bel thought.
“Yes,” Cayn replied, “there is a skill called [Speak with animals], generally from [Bards].”
“That’s crazy, are they, like, intelligible like that?”
“Depending on the animal, you could have a scientific discourse with dolphins,” Cayn said.
“Woah…”
Bel went bluntly to him, “Kyle, are you amnesiac or something?”
He looked at her, cat in arms. “Y-Yes?” he stuttered.
“What’s the hesitation for? Are you or are you not?”
“I can’t lie… I’m not. I’m just not familiar with this world, I don’t know.”
“It’s fine.” She glanced at Astor. “We can help you out if you want.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, right boys?”
Cayn nodded while Astor was too focused on playing with the cats to even pay attention. They spent a decent amount of time in the alleyway before going to an inn; Astor was reluctant but Bel dragged him.
“Room for…” Cayn looked at Kyle.
Kyle continued, “Five!”
No one minded sharing a big room, if anything, it’d be more lively.
They entered their room, five beds, sheets white as expected. Kyle put Rhea on a bed, she’d been asleep for a while now. Then Astor sat down on another bed and something peeked out of his hood.
“You cannot bring cats into inns Astor!” Cayn scolded. “Last time, we only got away because we saved the city, but people have allergies!”
Astor patted the cat, “Sorry.”
“You guys saved a city?” Kyle asked.
Bel answered, “Yeah, just a normal day for us.”
“Cool, cool, can't we keep the cat? No one is allergic here; I’m not at least,” Kyle said.
“What about Rhea?” Cayn asked.
“She’s too busy ‘eeping. I don’t think either of us mind it.”
“Well,” Cayn said, “it is fine then.” He was just worried about their guests, what a sweetheart.
Everyone unpacked their belongings, making themselves at home.
Kyle spoke, “Guys,” he sparked their attention, “wanna go hunt with me after we’re done? I need to level up.”
Bel and Cayn agreed to, and Astor decided to stay to keep an eye on Rhea, but if we're being honest: he stayed for the cat.
***
The Fifth Land had numerous hunting fields. Mana was easy to funnel through the tunnels, thanks to skills like [Arcane]. Bel didn’t really understand how everything worked but the huntings fields were useful; she got excited for them.
“Two carnivorous plants to the right and three more behind,” Kyle said.
Bel said, “Are they static or mobile?”
“I don't know girl, it’s my first time scouting.”
“Really dude?” Bel sighed. “Let’s improvise, we have Cayn’s backup if it goes wrong.”
Bel and Kyle wanted to improve their combat prowess, and as Cayn was too powerful with his chains: they asked him to be on the sidelines.
“Do not hurt yourselves too badly alright?” Cayn asked them.
“Don't worry,” Bel replied. “[Switch: Monk].”
Bel and Kyle ran in tandem toward the monsters. She attacked first. “[Martial art].” A palm strikes right on the giant carnivorous plant. Mana blew up all over it, enough to confuse it, but not enough to kill it. Thank the System, she could've accidentally killed it. She searched for the mana core, located it, and after quickly taking a
The plant waned down, four more left. She observed Kyle.
He was… “What are you doing?” she asked.
“I’m trying to make a vase…” he answered, arms elongated toward a carnivorous plant equally confused.
“Huh??”
“Listen! It’s a plant; they belong in a vase with earth in it!”
“Is your head ok? Do I need to call Cayn?” she looked at her teammate, confused too.
Kyle stopped whatever he was doing. “Ok… What am I supposed to do?”
“Just find a way to pluck the mana core out of the monster man!!”
“How do I do that without killing it?! What’s wrong with this world! Why don’t you guys kill the damn enormous monsters that want you dead???”
“They didn't ask to become monsters! We’re supposed to help them out of that condition!”
The monster attacked him; he protected himself with a shield made out of metal. “Shit, t’was close.”
He whispered the activation again. What skill was he using?
Chains came from Cayn and he restrained the monster. “What are you two doing? The plant got hurt from that metal shield!”
Bel looked at the injury: the petals were about to drop. Must've hurt more than the mana blast she did.
Kyle, still under his shield, spoke, “I’m sorry big plant that tried to chop my head off, didn't mean to…. As if!!! You sound crazy dude!”
Cayn glared at Kyle. “What did you just say?” Scary.
“Oh, um, I mean— Sorry, let me pluck the mana core out for you, haha.” He did as said.
You really don't want to anger someone that can restrain at will.
They went on with the fights. Kyle tried to copy Cayn’s chains but his were too heavy compared to Cayn’s, impossible to move them as freely. So he opted for simple binds instead.
“Good job,” Bel complimented Kyle. She then took the mana core. And they went on this way over, and over again.
Fights were much more repetitive than what Bel expected, the Fifth Land's hunting fields weren’t all that disappointing.
“Five mana cores!” Kyle exclaimed. “I’ve never gotten that much without killing— without help.” He coughed… Or
“How do we split up?” Bel asked.
Kyle answered, “Three for you guys and two for me?”
“You can take them all if you want,” Cayn said, “we are not short on money.”
Bel whispered to him, “What about the orphanage?”
“Five cores will not make a difference, let’s make a move for him.”
Bel twitched. She didn't mind sparing some kindness. But she minded something else: his use of “let’s”. He always spoke in a very demure manner, spelling out every word. “Let’s” was one exception, how weird.
“Sure,” she replied.
Bel and Kyle continued on their hunting spree, the mana cores repartition being put to later. And before she knew it, she grew fond of their combat’s cooperation. He was pretty skilled and his banter was decent too. Intriguing little dude definitely hid a secret though, and she wanted to know it.
31. That time I got reincarnated with a dumbass.
Back at the inn, Bel was discussing with Kyle, trying her hardest to get his secret out, for she had the intuition it could be something
“So, where are you from?” she asked.
He replied, “Hum, the Sixth Land?”
“Fantastic, have you been living here for a while?”
“No? Maybe?”
“Which is it?” She laughed. “You were raised there, weren’t you? You look like the people from there.” She tried to lure him out.
“I don’t think so? Sorry, could we not talk about these things?”
If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.
She was failing, no more mind games. “I will be blunt. Kyle, are you an Otherworlder? Be honest.”
He scratched his head. “And what now?”
“Otherworlder are people coming from another world.”
Kyle got closer to Rhea, who still slept, and he took a defensive stance, determination in his eyes.
Bel put her hands up. “We won’t hurt you! Don't worry!” She turned to Astor. “Right Blue-eyes?”
Astor looked at her with confusion. The cat, in his hood, did the same. “I wasn’t listening.”
Geez.
“I don't know if I can trust you guys,” Kyle said, “I really want to but I can’t take risks.”
Bel spoke, “So you’re really an Otherworlder?! That’s fucking rad, I can’t lie.”
Kyle frowned. “Huh?”
“She won’t hurt you,” Astor said, laying down on his bed, teasing his cat.
Kyle relaxed a bit. He sat down near Rhea and spoke, “I’m gonna be honest because it’s weighing on my mind. Yeah, I’m from another world and so is she. It's been a month and we’re lost.”
Bel was excited, she always wanted to meet an Otherworlder. “It’s ok, we’re here to help!”
Cayn opened the door; he’d been out to sell the mana cores, the queue at the shop being long and Bel impatient.
“Hey, Green-eyes, Kyle is an Otherworlder.”
Cayn blinked multiple times in a row. “Sorry, could you repeat that?”
“He’s an Otherworlder.”
“The System keeps sending things our way, why is that?”
“We’re privileged, get used to it.”
Cayn lifted an eyebrow. “Easy to say for a Pink.”
“So can I trust you guys?”
“You don’t have to worry, ya. I mean, penalties are a thing anyways, what are you afraid of?”
“I don’t know, we were excluded from the Sixth Land, so I was worried.”
“How’d you get excluded from a Land? What did you two do?”
Kyle avoided her eyes. “Nothing.”
“Spill it, we will keep the secret.”
He exhaled. “We— I made fake gold coins and went on a spending spree…”
“I can’t blame you, I’d do the same if I could.”
“Bel!” Cayn scolded her while counting coins in his inventory.
She dismissed it. “How did you make coins? Is that your weird skill?”
“[Creation]? Yeah, I can make anything I want.”
[Creation]? That’s a skill she’d never heard of before.
“Blue-eyes, do you know that skill?”
“No.”
It might just be a new skill. An Otherworlder’s arrival was synonymous with a System Update. Exciting.
“So… what’s an Otherworlder, exactly?” Kyle asked.
“Aren’t we supposed to ask that question?”
“I mean yeah, but I kinda want to know your definition before saying anything.”
“Someone that comes from another world.”
Kyle looked at everyone's expression in the room. Then spoke, “Yeah, that’s right. Kyle Rothenver, nice to meet you.”
“Whoa, you really have two names.”
“I got some reactions like that the first day, do people only have one name?”
Cayn replied, “The System differentiates us well enough, we have no need for a second name.”
“I know that, but what about family names?”
“Family isn’t that important,” Astor whispered.
“I still have so much to learn again. I don’t think I’ll get used to it, like…”
“I’m surprised no one else taught you everything, you sound like easy XP.”
“Well,” Kyle said, “there were many people but, uhm… I shouldn't say anything else.”
“C’mon tell us, what’s another confidence?”
“Pinky promised me to not judge us.” Kyle pointed out his pinky.
“Sure.” She locked her pinky with his. “A Pink never breaks a pinky promise.”
“I really like our vibes, so you guys better not make me regret telling you secrets, alright?”
“We are not forcing you, just ignore Bel if you want,” Cayn said, playing with the cat and Astor.
“I love how considerate you are bro, so imma tell everything. So, to make it short, Rhea and I… Got banished from the Sixth Land for counterfeiting gold coins.”
“What?!” Bel and Cayn said.
Kyle hid his face. “I didn’t know the money I made turned into mana over time…”
Bel didn’t get it but it got Astor’s full attention.
“You’re talking about [Creation]?”
“Yeah.”
“So you can make gold coins huh.”
“I didn't mean to crash the economy but we were really hungry, ok?”
“How did they figure it out though?” Bel asked.
“I gave some money left and right and some persons kept it as a treasure cuz I’m an Otherworlder…”
“And you crashed the economy that way?”
“Listen! I just wanted to make people happy, t’was an accident!”
Bel flicked her hair. “It’s fine dude, I’m not judging you.”
“It came from the bottom of your heart, did it not?” Cayn said.
“I really like you guys, ya know that?”
“Do you have a class?” Astor asked. He probably wanted the skill, for obvious reasons.
“I don’t, it’s not letting me choose one either.”
Bel patted Astor’s shoulder. “Don’t worry,” she whispered to him.
Rhea woke up from her slumber.
“Oh, you’re awake, wanna eat I guess?” Kyle said. The answer was positive.
They went ahead and dined at the inn, getting to know each other better. The bill came up.
“Sorry guys,” Kyle said, “I’m kinda penniless.”
“I got us covered.” Cayn paid for the bill, making Kyle very happy.
The night was upon them. Astor kept playing with his cat; the moon wasn’t here for him to gaze at it. Cayn went to sleep early. As for Rhea, she actually fell asleep in the middle of eating, so they just put her to bed, hard life.
It left Bel and Kyle in a corner of the room, whispering.
“What level are you?” Bel asked him.
“Lemme check. System, status check.”
Kyle
Class:
Level: 78
Skills mastered: 0
Mana: 100/100
Skill: [Creation]
“That’s weird,” Bel said.
“What is?”
“Usually, skill sets are displayed, but yours just shows your singular skill.”
“You kinda sounded smart for a second there.”
“Thank you, I’ve been working on it.”
“Good for you. Also, is the thing you said a problem or what’s up?”
“No it’s fine, the System is perfect I just can’t process it, I guess. By the way, did you know that showing your status screen is bad manners?”
“Wait, for real?”
“For real, like it’s a bad thing to shove it around.”
“How bad?”
“Like flashing your genitals or something.”
Kyle gasped and put a hand on his mouth to shut down. “I didn't do much in front of people cuz I wanted to hide my skill but woah. I didn't mean to do that to you, I’m sorry.”
“Oh no, don’t worry. I don’t expect you to know our customs anyways.”
“As a sorry, let me show you something.” He said. “Ready?”
She side-eyed him. “Go ahead…?”
“System, booty check!”
A single blue square juggled left and right.
[...]
[...]
[...]
Bel stared at him in the eyes for a long moment. He smiled stupidly. She said, “Don’t ever do that in front of Cayn. He might kill you, I’m serious.”
Kyle leaned back. “I thought it was funny, did I do something wrong?”
“The System is our everything, some persons like Cayn devoted their faith to it and could do anything for it.”
“What about you?”
“I—” She paused. “I have some opinions about the System that I’ll never say.”
“My bad, let’s switch topics, shall we?”
Rhea, near them, woke up.
Bel said, “Sorry did we wake you up?”
“She’s a deep sleeper, don’t worry,” Kyle answered. “Wanna discuss with us?” He gestured into sitting near them both, which she did.
“Hey, can you do us a favor?” Kyle asked Bel.
“Sure.”
“Can you teach Rhea how to open her status? She can’t do it for some reason.”
“Can’t she just say ‘System, status check’?”
“I’ve been making her say it phonetically but it doesn't work.”
“You need to mean those words, so that the screen pops up,” Bel said.
“Well, she can’t speak our language,” Kyle said.
“What’s a language?” Bel asked.
“Oh, uhm, I mean she can’t communicate with us.”
“So she’s narcoleptic and somewhat mute?”
“Yeah…”
“Damn girl, pick a struggle.”
32. Red System.
Lights flickering from the crystals. Smell of fresh bread running around the room. Clear signs of dawn coming up.
It was difficult to gauge whether or not it was day or night in the Fifth Land, as they were underground. So Bel and co had to rely on cues when indoors.
Cayn already left. And both Astor and Kyle were sound asleep. Which left Bel with Rhea.
“Good morning,” she told her.
Rhea replied, “Salve.”
Didn't recognize the word but still could understand the meaning. Communicating with her shouldn’t be so bad as long as Bel kept the conversation simple.
“Wanna go out?”
“Ita.”
They ventured outside the inn. Bel tried her best to give a tour of the place. She had been here before, with her Dad, for some basic training. The hunting fields are that useful.
They talked a lot, or rather, Bel asked her a lot of yes/no questions. Rhea was a regular woman that got randomly reincarnated in this world. She liked sweet things and would be very thankful to Bel for buying her so many things.
“Don’t worry about repaying me,” Bel said.
Now came the real question: why were they two persons reincarnated? Bel recalled that only one person at a time was needed for a System Update. So why two?
“Say, did the System tell you something about an Update?”
Rhea remained silent. Was the question too complex? She can’t point to the concept of “Update” and try to get an answer either. Whatever.
The girls strolled around, enjoying their day with no care in the world. Rhea wore a white robe, a style Bel hadn't seen before. Surely clothes from another world. Pretty, suited her well.
Then Rhea felt like showing something to Bel. They headed to the hunting fields.
One monster, a snake. Small mana core to its right side, in the middle.
With a hand gesture, Rhea told Bel to stay back. Bel switched to [Priest] in case something happened.
The snake rushed at her. And without a sweat, she simply grabbed it by the neck and touched the mana core. It disappeared and a blue— … appeared?
Bel couldn't believe her eyes. The System always appeared in a particular shade of blue. Did the Update entail a color change? Bel needed more opinion on this, so she hurried back to the inn with Rhea.
***
Back at the inn, Cayn cooked a meal for everyone. It smelled good; he improved.
Wait no. What about the System?
She didn't know how to approach her friends to tell them about that. But she knew that the [Appraiser] class was needed in this situation. Only [Identify] could tell her more about it.
She skipped the chase. “Can I [Identify] you?” Bel asked Rhea.
She acquiesced.
“[Switch: Appraiser].”
“What are you doing during breakfast?” Cayn asked, holding plates.
Astor slept as usual during this time, and she wanted his opinion. But she needed to know what was the deal with the color.
“[Identify].”
A red screen spawned.
Rhea Silvia
Class: [Administrator]
Bel stopped reading. An [Administrator]?! There was only one in the world and there was no way it was her. It could only mean one thing.
Cayn dropped his plates.
“Whoa dude, what’s going on?” Kyle returned from wherever he was.
They all turned to him, stunned faces.
Kyle checked himself from bottom to top. “Do I have something on me?”
Kyle’s status was blue. Rhea’s was red.
A second System. That’s the conclusion Bel came to. She checked up on Cayn, trying to get his opinion. He stared at Rhea’s screen, rightfully so.
“Cayn, what do you think?”
No answer, unusual of him.
“Cayn?” She looked at what he was staring at.
Level: ∞
Stats:
Strength: 45
Constitution: 100
Dexterity: 70
Title:
Skill sets:
[Administrator] skills.
[Destruction] skill.
He bugged on
Cayn sat down, hand on forehead. Bel worried for him. “You good?”
“Yo, what’s going on, why is everybody having weird reactions?” Kyle stood there trying to figure things out.
As for Rhea, she had no care in the world. She possibly didn’t understand a single thing happening. Could she even read her own status? Why is her level infinite? What about her stats being visible too? And the weird [Destruction] skill too? Was that what she did against the snake?
So many questions. Bel’s mind cogs turned as she tried to understand.
Astor woke up, cat getting out of his cloak. Bel stared at him, trying to ask him for help without startling Kyle and Rhea.
“You two are acting weird,” Kyle said, cleaning the plates on the floor. “Handsome guy, help me out. Your friends are stunlocked.”
Astor had that confused look on his face, but he was smart enough to put two and two together. He just needed to see the red screen. Bel glanced at it multiple times while maintaining eye-contact with him.
He saw it.
Then went on with his day like nothing happened. Of course it wouldn't shock him, he was an orphan and had next to zero experience with the System until a few years ago. So what now? What are they even supposed to do? Kill Rhea? It was in those moments that Bel relied on Cayn, the ever-calm teammate of the party. But he always had a weird relationship with the System, something like this had to be life-changing for him. It kinda was for Bel too.
“Cayn,” she called him, whispering.
He gave her no answer. Not even speck of attention to her existence. Infuriating. “Cayn,” she said aloud.
He turned his head to her. “What?”
She shook her head toward the red screen.
“I do not know. I do not want to know,” he said.
Kyle butted in. “Hey guys, let’s eat,” he conjured food and plates on the center table of the inn’s room.
“You can do that?” Bel said. “Is it even edible?”
“Yeah of course, it’s just gonna transform into mana at some point but it’s still nutritious… I think.”
“I’m not eating mana dude.”
“Why not?” He pointed at Rhea. “She’s eating.”
“Rhea, don’t eat that, you’ll get mana poisoning.”
“Wait, that’s a thing?” Kyle asked.
And as they talked like nothing of big importance happened, Bel kept an eye on Cayn. He was shocked to his very core. She could feel that, and empathized. Because no matter how much Cayn would scold her, she knew it was for the better, no one scolds you for no reason other than kindness. Not under the System. System.
***
The day went on, and with every passing moment, Bel tried to cue Astor into the Second System. She needed confirmation. Any kind, the one that mattered, or not. Anything to soothe her mind. It is only after Kyle and Rhea snoozed that Bel found an opportunity.
Somewhere outside the inn, Astor and Bel found a place to gaze at the moon. Lucent. A sight for sore eyes.
“So, what d’you think?”
“Can’t we ask her to show us her commands?”
“She can’t speak with us, I don’t even know if she understands us, actually.”
“Can’t we teach her? Phonetically.”
“Well, good luck with that cuz’ Kyle seems to have a hard time.”
“I can manage.”
And so the cogs were placed. All they needed was time and patience. For only then will the System answer their worries.
The moonlight got covered by the clouds above, making their sight-seeing spot dark.
***
Days and nights after, the trio and the duo got closer than ever. Bel tried to find a solution for the whole World Boss mess. As for Astor, he focused on teaching Rhea the phonetics of their language. While Cayn… Cayn was a mess. His every movement was unstable. He could barely cook anymore and whenever they took him to hunting fields, he’d just stay as backup, not doing much more than staring at the void.
She knew why. She knew he was preparing himself to “deal” with Rhea. The prospect wasn’t bright, and knowing his personality: he’d rather do everything himself so as to not become a burden for both Astor and Bel.
She wanted to reassure him. Telling him that she’d take the fall instead of him, for she only had one more resurrection possible before having to survive for the rest of her life.
She was the closest to death out of all of them three. Yes. She had to.
But what hurt her the most was her relationship with both Kyle and Rhea. She grew to love them. A foolish mistake. The heart had its own reasons and the mind couldn't comprehend.
Now what? Someone had to tell her the next steps. Someone.
33. The foregone conclusion.
System Update occured when a person from another world appeared. The System then uploaded their data to advance technology in a drastic manner. In this instance, Kyle was the key to it all. The one who will shape the world anew again.
Bel wasn’t the smartest of her party. She knew that much. But after spending three days with Kyle and Rhea, she understood a simple thing: one is the solution for the other.
Kyle’s knowledge had to make Rhea become something more than a so-called “World Boss”, for they were put together for a reason. There was no such thing as a coincidence under the System’s omnipresence.
“Say girl,” Kyle said, eating a spoonful of porridge. “Do you believe in fate?”
Bel replied, “That’s such a corny pickup line bro.”
“Haha, you're funny. I’m not hitting on ya’, nah, I was just wondering why I got reincarnated with Rhea.”
“Do you believe that you’re tied together somehow?”
“Yeah, I mean, it makes sense, no?”
Of course it did, she thought, but isn’t it a bit too on the nose to tell him?
“Let’s rejoin Astor and Rhea, I want to know more about the Red System.”
“You’re really gonna call it that?”
“It sounds cool, doesn’t it?”
“Sure.”
Back at their inn’s room, Astor, Bel, Kyle and Rhea were all ready to see the System’s capacities.
“Repeat after me,” Astor told Rhea. “System, Administrator Command Access.”
“System, Administrator Command Access.”
Multiple red screens appeared in front of her. Bel couldn't decipher them but it was evident: Rhea could manipulate whatever she wanted with her System.
Then Astor revealed an astonishing truth, “The World Bosses are probably a product of the Red System.”
“What makes you think that?” Bel asked.
Astor replied, “The red spice from the Fourth Land.”
Right, the First World Boss did become a red powder after all, even though it was green.
Then it became clear: the reason why the System had sent them against the World Boss: to stop the Red System from growing.
Astor had the same conclusion. And after further discussions, they came to one solution: shutting down the Red System.
Cayn came back from his little trip and caught up on those infos. “Let’s do it,” he said.
Now came the time for Rhea to save the world. With the help of Kyle, who understood how System’s commands worked, they found their way to the ultimate button.
System Shutdown:
Yes/No.
Rhea taped on Yes.
The Blue System reacted.
World Bosses vanquished: 9/9.
Reward: Access to all classes and System Commands.
***
One year later, Astor became the owner of his orphanage, and took care of everyone: because they are family now. Helpers and caretakers were rightfully jailed for what is now considered a crime.
Indeed, the trio now had the [Administrator] class and could dictate the law whoever they wanted. They didn’t overuse their power, they went along with what felt right considering their experience.
Bel, her, had the title she always wanted:
. And the recognition for her Father and Dad. She wasn’t a burden anymore and was more than happy to participate in the reshaping of her village. But not only that, she also had the task to better the populace in general.
Cayn was known as the
The party would often meet each other, every week. They’d do what best friends do best: be here for important moments.
