Versatile System Online

"Mom, I am home", Ray shouted as soon as he entered through the door. Even Ray did not know why, but it was a habit of his to always shout and tell everyone of his arrival when he arrived at his home.

He greeted his mother and walked upstairs to his room. After a long day, he wanted to take a bath and relax for a while before he started grinding at 'System Online'.

He walked to his room, opened the door, and entered. After taking off his clothes and putting them in the cloth basket, he looked at himself in the mirror. Little did he know that the act of looking himself in the mirror would leave him astounded because what he saw was simply unbelievable.

"Huh!", when did his body become so toned? and how the hell did he have abs on his torso?. He simply stared at his body, unable to comprehend what had happened to him.

He had frickin abs on his torso, rock solid abs that seemed to be rather carved on his body by the artisan. Seeing that there were abs on his body, he proceeded to check his whole body and surely. What he saw left him stunned to such an extent that he began to question himself,

He had changed so much within the past two weeks? although he did not place concerns on his looks that much. He occasionally checked his body to see if he would gain weight or anything of that sort.

However, he had been quite busy ever since he obtained his system, as he was trying to get stronger and lately with the test for the academy and all. Hence, he had not been able to keep on with any changes that may have occurred to his body. Therefore, he was especially surprised after seeing such a change.

"But how??", that was the only question in his mind right now and he did not work out for his whole life. Thus, he unknowingly asked Aurora. Perhaps it was because she was his system and was present within him or it was because she seemed to know almost everything. Any supernatural questions and mysteries that Ray came across were asked from Aurora. Hence, his dependence on Aurora had increased quite a lot but not in a disadvantageous manner.

He asked,

"Uh…, Aurora, do you know why my body changed so drastically within the past two weeks, it seems less like a body and more like a work of art, especially my torso".

To this, Aurora replied without even a bit of exasperation in her voice, "Duh! dummy, you are as na?ve as a child in matters related to the world of systems.

You see, every time your system levels up, it also strengthens your body and culls out the impurities within your body, and sensing from the state of your body. You are very close to your first breakthrough, through which a majority of your body's impurities would be expelled".

Listening to Aurora's explanation, Ray naturally understood everything and did not linger on the topic anymore. However, it was a completely different case for Aurora, who at this moment sighed while inside Ray's system, 𝐟r𝒆ℯ𝘄𝑒𝒃𝚗𝒐𝘃e𝗹.c𝘰𝐦

"This guy is very strange. To be able to achieve his first breakthrough so soon, that too without cultivating any cultivation sutras or meditation techniques. It surely has to do something with the strange energy within him".

Meanwhile, Ray continued with his bath. After cleaning himself and having a change of clothes, Ray felt much better and laid down on his bed while his mind drifted towards the chat he had with the dean a few hours ago.

****

It had been quite an experience for Ray while he was with the dean. From the dean being shocked and the dean's system showing up in a corporeal form while bowing down to him. At first, Ray did not know what to do as he was terrified by the aura released by the demonic system. However, he calmed down and proceeded to have a chat with the dean.

There were a lot of things that Ray had to discuss with the dean the first he said to the dean was something he needed the dean to assure him of, thus he spoke in a serious tone,

"Well.. dean, I know you called me here to talk about some important matters and even I had to talk to you about some very important matters. Furthermore, I believe that the topic we are to talk about is more or so the same. Therefore, what I am to tell you is not be leaked anywhere outside of this room".

Listening to Ray's tone and seeing the expression on his face. The dean knew that things were going to get extremely serious and highly confidential. Thus, he opened a cabinet under his desk and took out a magic crystal. Then, he crushed the magic crystal, causing a radiance to flow out of it. The radiance covered the whole room and formed temporary runes on the walls of the room.

The dean then spoke, "I understand, now you may speak. What I have just crushed is a magical crystal that can create a barrier that separates an area into a different dimension for 15 minutes. Therefore, only I can hear what you have to say. However, I would recommend you hurry as neither do I have much time nor is the crystal's effect going to last long".

Listening to the dean's words and realizing that the dean was serious as well, Ray nodded and started explaining his special system to the dean.

However, he did not tell the dean everything and only told him about his ability to wield different types of magic, and abilities and obtain the highly rare beast souls. Ray did not tell that he could evolve his system to such a level that he could extract the abilities, skills, and even innate bloodline abilities of different beasts, nor did he tell the dean about the fact that he could also extract different magical essences from high-grade treasures and herbs.

There were even a lot of other things that Ray had not told the dean about. He just gave the dean some basic ground knowledge and just that information served to make the dean tremble from shock and excitement.

The shock came from the fact that even the dean could not believe how the heavens allowed such a cheat to exist, while the excitement came from the hope that such a cheat provided. To hold different magical powers, and abilities and even obtain beast souls, the man in front of him could be their speck of light within the endless darkness that was to be brought when the restrictions lifted.

However, Protheus also knew, that to nurture such a talent, he had to be extremely careful while he would also have to save Ray from the schemes of those who wanted to ruin humanity.

Hence, Protheus only listened to what Ray was saying and in the end, he confirmed,

"So what you mean to ask for is, that if the academy would allow you to train and have access to all of the facilities that are reserved for those with different types of systems along with the fact that you require access to all classes about different types of systems as well. Furthermore, you need the freedom of leaving and entering 'System Online' as to your wishes. Am I right?".

To this, Ray replied, "Yes sir, you are extremely right, and please consider your answer carefully as you know that a very dangerous threat is to approach not much farther into the future. Hence, we need to be trained to our extreme best". 𝒇𝘳𝐞𝚎𝓌𝑒𝑏𝒏𝑜𝙫ℯl.c𝚘𝒎

Listening to Ray's words, the dean had no expression on his face. However, hearing Ray's last words. The expressions on the dean's face turned ugly as he hurriedly asked,

"Where did you g-",

"Don't worry about how I got to know about it, you could say that it's also part of my system's strength", Ray's words cut down the dean in the middle of his sentence, while the dean said nothing and gestured to Ray to leave if he had expressed everything he wanted to say.

Ray got up and left as even he didn't want to overstay his visit to the dean.

****

Ray sighed as he recalled his 'negotiations', with the dean. He hoped things would turn out well and humanity could also strengthen themselves and progress to perfection until 'System Online', remained open and restricted many powerful existences way beyond humanity's control and stopped them from stepping forward and devouring humanity.

He stood up and walked downstairs for dinner before he started to put his plans into motion.
