Chapter 36: System's warning

Chapter 36: System's warning


"I know this might sound strange, but…"


It wasn't as if I was shy to brag about my newly obtained abilities. In reality, I was pretty confused about them myself.


Because in the grand scheme of things, I didn't receive any insane power-up. The truth of the magic didn't magically reveal itself to me, allowing me to peer into its deepest secrets.


No.


Nothing of that sort happened.


But something did.


The easiest way to explain what was going on with me right now is to compare my current state with someone born blind, only for the supreme technology to cure his eyes. It was exactly this kind of feeling with how rich in information my entire surroundings were.


The reality didn't change at all, that I was certain of. It was my perception of it that made my experience so much different.


"... everything changed, but nothing has changed at the same time. I think… I changed."


It wasn't anywhere close to being simple to explain. But Ayda didn't seem to be discouraged by this at all.


"You don't need to fret about it. I know from the records that only a true mage can truly fathom the scope of the true magic. No matter how hard you will try to explain those concepts to me, I'm not outfitted to understand them."


Closing my mouth with a gentle peck to his lips, the girl smiled while slightly moving atop his lap. With our initial lust now gone, we were now simply enjoying the sensual intensity of being connected together with someone we both deeply carried about.


"Thanks… It's really… confusing."


This was the only thing that I could understand about this new world around me. Even looking into the ability chart of my system didn't help, but confused me instead. Because with all my bonuses from the other titles and classes that I received previously now gone, a single point was elevated so high that it turned the multi-dimensional graph into a segment of a straight line.


[Depth of magic connection]


That was the name of the point that deformed the graph of my basic statistics so much. And it was all because of another line that flashed gently above the graph.


[Localy Ultimate Class]


[True Mage]


[Grade: A+(Upgradable)]


[Precision: 30%]


[Level: 1]


This was the very first status that had a level on it. But what did that plus meant? What was that precision thingy? While I could understand what upgradable meant, I had absolutely no idea how could I upgrade this thing.


In other words, even the system that was supposed to help me out with everything…


Or was it?


Thinking about it, I never really thought much about this system in the first place. Given all the events that were happening in my life, given the apocalypse… I read too many wuxia, xianxia and iseakai novels in my life to bother thinking about that stuff. Instead of worrying about it, I just went with the flow. But that didn't mean that my imagination of the system was right on the point.


"Are you all right?"


In the end, all that system achieved with those stats that it has shown to me… Was actually filling me full of motivation. As stupid as it might seem, it was the levelling that made it so alluring to keep improving my abilities. In my endorphin deprived mind right now, the sense of accomplishment, direct goal and affirmation after it was exactly what I required to function.


And the drive to get more levels, to get stronger, to change my life for better…


Was something that I had to cast away the instant I heard muted footsteps.


"Ayda…"


Not daring to stop our gentle intercourse, I placed my hands on her waist before sinking my fingers in her flesh just beyond the point that could be taken as playful.


"Yes?"


Sensing the change in my emotions and connecting the dots, the girl silenced her moans by pretending to wait for my answer. At the same time, I could hear those silent footsteps stopping.


"I love you."


Taking a moment to make sure the girl understood my intentions, I started rushing through all the steps that I could take.


So far, my entire power was limited to the pitiful cultivation I earned on earth and the witch abilities that Ayda taught me. Not some kind of great arsenal, given how I prepared for days to use just three abilities of mine.


For the fight that could happen at any moment, I had nothing to defend myself with at all. Nothing outside the things that I could comprehend on the spot. At least, with the general cleaning of all her emotional routes that I performed on Ayda's soul, instead of being an established witch and fighter, I returned her talent to its absolute peak.


And that alone should suffice according to the guess I had from everything she said and did so far.


"You know what, I think a cup of beer would be a nice addition to the moment…"


Smiling at the girl in front of me, I caught her hips before lifting her up to the point where my shlong was finally freed from the grasp of her pussy. Putting her gently back on the bed, I stood up from our resting place and approached a small table where we prepared some wine in case of my return and an urgent need to figure something out.


But I would never expect it to come in handy in such a way!


The rustling at the doors made it clear that the guests were about to come in. Calming myself down, I caught the bottle of wine in my hand with its opening directed towards the doors. While it was an improvised idea, repelling the content of the bottle while holding on to the glass could give us some time by blinding the first invaders that would come in.


[Warning!]


[Secrecy of the system in danger!]


[Forcing return!]


Just as the doors opened up, a string of system messages suddenly covered my vision. As my eyes laid down on the faces of the attackers, my vision blurred before I suddenly reappeared back in my basement.


[Granting emergency time-freeze of 1 day]


[Emergency mission - secure the safety of the basement]
