“Wait, I still have to tell you some important information about systems and this world” Aurora said to Ray in haste.

“Huh!! What!!?”, Ray asked in confusion as he did not know what to say, systems? And this world? wasn’t all this just a mysterious game that allows you to wield your power in the real world? so why is she talking about it as such, and aren’t systems the source of power? Therefore Ray just tried to listen to what she had to say, he said, “Aurora are you sure you spoke the right words and if so would you please explain”

“Yeah, what I said is right and I know you would be too baffled right now after listening to what I said but please trust me”. Aurora said to Ray in a serious yet persuasive tone. Then she continued,

“Actually, ‘SYSTEM ONLINE’ is nothing but a medium to transfer strength to your world. Although it may sound strange, Earth is not the only habitable planet and there are many other races aside from humans. Moreover, all races have to acquire a system when they advance to a certain degree. However, their methods of acquiring a system are different and completely reliant on the advancements they made and in what field did they advance to the degree of acquiring systems. Some races had advanced to such an extent that they made dimensional teleporters, this let them gain systems by teleporting to a new dimension and plane to practice and level up their system. Whereas for Earth, the leap in technology was virtual reality, therefore humans of Earth could acquire systems through SYSTEM ONLINE. And yeah, all of the races despite their mode of advancement come to the same world which is the world of “SYSTEM ONLINE” “.

As Aurora finished her words, Ray did not know what to say, he felt his understanding of the world crumbling into dust right in front of him. Ray just stood rooted to his spot for a whole 15 minutes with various thoughts going through his mind. However, there was one thought that kept reoccurring and that was, didn’t it mean that a stronger race could attack Earth and make us their slaves?”.

Ray was very troubled by this thought, so he asked Aurora,

“Doesn’t that mean that Earth could be attacked any time by other races or worlds as humans are still weak?”

To this Aurora chuckled in reply and said, “Well, it could not happen as there are many laws that exist in this universe that do not allow it, and even if someone attacked Earth, they would be surprised by what they would find”

“Huh?, so Earth would be safe?”, Ray asked as he could feel that Aurora had only answered half of his question. However, to his dismay, she just avoided his question by saying, ” That I can not say but what I can assure you is that you will be safe for the time being and you are too weak to know something anyways”

Then Ray asked her another question, “So.. if other races used dimensional portals or other means to get systems, they surely had to be present in person to obtain a system so how do humans get their strength as they are not present in person and play through virtual reality”

“Not a bad question for someone so young, but the answer is simple. A system gets attached to one’s soul and not the body as the body can be destroyed and created but the soul can not while all the strength you obtain from your system is nothing but spiritual essence that nourishes your soul and body to strengthen it” Aurora said to Ray as she noticed Ray’s unusually calm attitude after hearing words that she had just spoken as a normal person would be panicking knowing about other races and things as such. Moreover, she also praised Ray for his deductive ability and once again thought of the origins of Ray’s soul as he was unusual with his abilities, calmness, and other traits that people of his age would not possess.

Just as Aurora was starting to get lost in her thoughts, another one of Ray’s questions woke her out of her thoughts. Ray asked her, ” And Aurora, you said that you would also tell something about systems? Or is it all that you wanted to say?”,𝓞𝐕𝑳xt.𝔠𝑂𝔪

Aurora cursed at herself for getting lost in her thoughts and said,

“No! That’s not all, there are still many things to be told to you however I will tell them along with time as you get stronger, but remember that SYSTEM ONLINE is just a phase for humanity to strengthen them by it and when humanity’s strength reaches a certain point, All of humanity would be barred entry from the game and all of the humans would awake system’s on their own but it would be harder to get stronger with harder quests to complete and at that time a lot of changes will occur to Earth, remember Ray, a lot of changes would occur so you better be ready as you would be at the spotlight for the power that you contain”. Aurora said all of these words to Ray in a stern voice that Ray heard from her for the first time and he realized that she was damn serious and there were a lot of things he did not know while the only way to survive was to do so by getting stronger. Therefore, Ray’s resolve to get stronger strengthened even further while his gaze became serious as he asked Aurora,

” So how much time until hell breaks loose?”

To this, she replied, ” Although you don’t have much time, it’s enough for you to get strong enough to take care of yourself and be ready for what’s coming after”

This answer calmed Ray’s nerves as he had expected the time to be short enough for him to not be prepared for it all but Aurora’s reply made him feel better for having some time to get strong. Then he asked Aurora,

” I would need to enroll in the ‘Academy For System Users’ to get stronger but they check every system to make the most efficient plan for their students but your existence is a bit special, so could you tell me what to do”

To this, the answer he got from Aurora left him speechless as she said, ” Just have a talk with their headmaster and tell him of my existence, as earlier when you went into their building to get the form. I perceived the aura of a system user at a high level of evolution while the system had also awakened its consciousness. Therefore, you could tell that person about my existence and have a chat with them, I’m sure that person’s system would cooperate with you”

“Really!!”, Ray asked in excitement as he could already feel his blood boiling over the thought of mastering his abilities fully without needing to hide his strength, and being in the academy would also allow him to have the instructors according to his abilities.

Then, Ray talked to Aurora a bit more about various things until their time for using the training room was up. Moreover, Ray felt that Aurora never had any wrong intentions, to begin with, and was just someone who wanted to have someone to speak to, while Ray also realized that after the fusion, he felt even closer to Aurora as it was a feeling that even he could not describe to and just felt as if a part of his consciousness was finally full.

After Ray’s time for using the training room came to an end, he ventured towards the guild’s association to get some more quests to hunt down some beasts and get stronger while also leveling up the system, as this time he was thinking of going all out and do all it would take to get stronger.

___________________________________________________________

As Ray went towards the guild’s association to obtain some quests, Aurora sighed deeply within the system as she knew a lot of things were going to happen and time was strict. Moreover, she hoped that Ray would be able to get strong enough to handle that is thrown at him when the time comes as it was not too long until all hell went loose.

___________________________________________________________

As Ray and Aurora were in their thoughts and doing their best to get stronger. A meeting was going on at the headquarters of the ‘System Users Association’ on Earth. Over there all of the leaders of the top powers of the world were discussing the same topic that Ray and Aurora had discussed earlier.

“It seems that we don’t have much more time”, The chairman of ‘The System Users Association said as he looked at everyone present there. All of the people present knew that there wasn’t much time and it was better for them to leave aside their differences and make full use of the time they still had and try their best to save humanity.
