The system showed another pop-up window. Thank god it wasn't another voice message. I was beginning to grow tired of it.
Impressed by this feature, I spoke, "Nani? All my questions will be solved?!"
And with my statement, the previous translucent windows faded away as a new one made its way in my field of vision.
"So you're telling me, you can answer all questions, but only based on your current knowledge?"
I put my right hand on my chin while my left hand supported the right by holding the elbow. With this gesture I went into a state of deep thought, "Hmm..."
After what I believed was clear sequence of questions in my mind, I began my questioning, "So what is the system's limit in terms of knowledge?"
So it's just like any other VRMMORPG, huh. I see. So that's how it's going to work. I won't be able to gain knowledge of anything I haven't seen or haven't witnessed. Which basically makes this system inefficient as hell since I don't even know where I am.
But moving on to the next question, "How can I close the pop-up windows without another window popping up in its place?"
After reading the pop-up, I moved my hand through the air to slap the pop-up, and man did it feel good. It almost felt like I had slapped the system. But beyond all emotional mindsets, the window did indeed disappear just as the system stated.
"Now for my next question, can I see a virtual map of the location?"
<[Mapping] can only be obtained from humans based on current knowledge.>
"Wait. How do you know that?"
"Oh God, why did it have to get this dark this fast?"
Then shortly after, I moved on to a topic I noticed hidden in this pop-up.
"So does that mean that I can gain skills from killing any creature?"
What the... Why would the system reply with such a statement after literally giving me the answer indirectly?
Hmm... Could it be that there are certain species who I can't obtain skills from? I wonder.
Ah, but moving on, "How can I stop the system from replying to a question? Say I'm talking to someone else through some miraculous method, how would I prevent the system from talking to me?"
"I see..."
Then, with my series of questions coming to an end, I asked a few final questions, "So, who created the system? And who brought me here?"
As the two windows popped up simultaneously, my mind raced through the doubt that the one who brought me here didn't do so for my benefit. And clearly, someone was behind all this.
But then soon after, I realised the essence of what I really needed to know now.
"How did I not realise this earlier?"
"System, tell me where I am."
Below this statement, there were three button like icons present.
I was no expert in what 'animalis regnum' meant, but with the straightforward assumption that it referred to animals, I went ahead and clicked on the third option.
Well, though the interrogation was long, at least I now knew where I was.
But wait. How does that information help me? Why did I think it would be helpful to know where I was?
My relieved face slowly transformed into one that was both confused and depressed.
"Ah. Now I feel like an idiot."
