---Outside existence---
'What the hell is going on!?' one of the systems "yelled" to the others.
'We have no idea. That ball of dark red fire suddenly appeared. And somehow, it's flames are destroying everything.' another stated.
'... I know what it is, but I do not know how it works. And its best to not find out. Leave it for the main system to take care of.' the evil system stated.
Almost immediately after its words, a dark blue crystal shell formed around the flames, encasing them.
'. . .'
'Very well, we won't meddle or pursue after these flames.' majority of the systems stated.
'But. I am the knowledge system, there isn't anything that I don't know, or at least thats how it's supposed to be. How can I tolerate that there is something I don't know?!' pleaded the system of knowledge.
Just as it finished, a book appeared. The dark blue crystal opened up and swallowed it as soon as it appeared. Every other system, with the exception of the evil and crafter system, was shocked an horrified.
A few seconds after the system of knowledge was swallowed, every system appeared with their "form of existence". Many figures appeared, a lightning bolt, a brain, an orb containing an ever changing figurine, and many more.
'. . .'
'I hear and obey. I gladly take on the duty as temporary system of knowledge.' said the brain figure as it "bowed" which was nothing more than lowering the cerebrum.
'Congratulations on getting more power, even if it is temporary. Although everyone knows you've wanted knowledge after you got wisdom. Intellect.' sneered the evil system.
'. . .'
All of the systems dispersed after the Existence system spoke. None dared to stay as they didn't want their existence erased.
---Back in the village---
Aaron had no idea he caused the death of a system. He wouldn't even guess that they could die. Not that he could any other thoughts right now though.
Rage filled his eyes, his vision dyed red. He was producing a glow of dark red, black, and blood red light. It had covered the entire village for a split second before condensing to what looks like a skin tight suit.
He got out of the bed then put an illusion on Ritz, just in case she woke up she'd see that he was there sleeping. He also beefed up the arrays, as well as making more defensive ones around Ritz.
He left the room and used skill he never used before. It was a kind of scanning skill, it had a wide area of effect, but it couldn't give a lot of details. It was mainly something used to find anything or anyone hidden from sight.
A thin bubble of blood red light expanded with Aaron as the center. If he wasn't blinded by rage, he would have noticed that the color was off. After the bubble encased the village, he found none of the villagers in their homes.
Turning his attention to the basements he found them empty, well expect one. Every single villager was in the elder's basement. He also noticed various claws coming from it. There wasn't any body or arm attached to these claws.
Without wasting any more time he rushed to the basement. When he got to the doors, it was still locked up tight. The claws were passing through the doors as if it didn't exist. They would rush at Aaron trying to grab him, but they dissipated before they could touch him.
He raised his foot and stomped down on the doors. The doors, chains, and lock immediately disintegrated with what could only be described as 10.0 earthquake shook the entire village.
In an isolated corner of his mind, the subsystem was spitting out messages and warnings like crazy.
'User being augmented by the sun, level and rank rising. Level: 176, Rank: Superior.'
'Warning! User entering beserk state. Warning! User under control of the sun!'
'Warning! User's body unable to contain current power. Body will implode in 2 hours.'
And many more. But all ingored, or rather unable to reach him.
Aaron could see stone stairs leading down to another door. On the door was the symbol he saw earlier on the elder's wife. This one though, was drawn with blood and an actual ring of fire.
He strode down the stairs, each of his steps causing a mini quake.
Half way down the stairs, someone opened the door and peeked their head out. It was one of the younger villagers. Aaron waved his hand, and the head fell to the floor, followed by the body pushing the door fully open.
Inside Aaron could see an alter with blood flowing up its sides. There was various claw statues holding beating and bloody hearts. The blood was flowing from the hearts. In the center of the alter was a circle of purple fire, and floating in the circle of fire was an eye. Blood dripped up from the alter, it looked like tears, but in reverse.
Circled around the alter was the villagers. Next to the alter was the elder, his wife, and a young couple. In the arms of the elder was a ceremonial dagger, and in his wife was a new born child. The float eye was looking at the child.
Aaron stepped through the door and immediately the eye on the alter looked at him. The elder noticed the change in the eye and turned towards the door.
