'Even if this was real, I should ignore it for today and check up on it later tomorrow'
It was because I wanted to test whether it was a dream and also calm myself down for anything that will happen later on.
The mentality of a person was very important. Since it could determine the outcome of many things, I didn't want to face this system until I was calm enough.
So I continued on with what I was doing and 'calmly' took off my uniform and changed to my home clothes. It seemed just as if it was a normal day for me except that the sound of my heart beating was sounding especially clear and loud in my ears.
"Tuk tuk, tuk tuk"
My heart beating gave me slight anxiety. But I ignored that and directed my thought to somewhere else.
'They are arriving on Sunday right?' thinking about my parents, I left my room and went to the kitchen.
....
The apartment I was in could be considered to be quite large. There were one living room, one kitchen, three bedrooms, and two bathrooms. It was just a normal setting but the space they were occupying was large.
About 250 square meters in total.
Well, both of my parents were espers after all.
In this society where espers were a cut above the average, it was normal for them to occupy an apartment like this.
After passing through the living room, I headed to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator.
Within the refrigerator was a large variety of food, sectioned by its type neatly. The fruits, food, other products...
From them, I directly went to the fruits section and got an apple from it. The apple was red in color and could be said to be of medium size, just enough for myself. I took a bite out of it and instantly felt the refreshing feeling the taste gave me.
The refrigerator takes care of the bacteria on it so it was fine for me to eat it like this.
....
After I ate the apple, I went and did my work for the day, finishing and fixing the code I left behind yesterday.
It was already 00:00 by the time I finished it. But since my parents were out for vacation and was returning on Sunday, two days later, I didn't care how late I slept. Therefore, I continued on to playing God's Lore after taking a sip out of a coffee.
However, it seems like today would be a different case.
Unknowingly, my vision started to fade away and soon plunged into darkness. It was all too sudden and I could do nothing
I didn't know what happened nor how I suddenly slept at 8 pm. Was it the built-up exhaustion that finally drove me to sleep?
No, it can't be. I'm sure I drank a coffee not to mention I always sleep during the weekend in order to relieve that exhaustion. So it can't have been from exhaustion.
So what was it? What drove me to sleep?
The system that suddenly appeared?
I speculated on what happened to me after I woke up. Still in my bed, it was 4 am currently.
So after I was sure I wasn't in a dream, I looked up again and what was before me was still the same blue panel.
Just floating there within the darkness, still with the initial menu.
'What do I do with it now?' feeling my steady heartbeat and the still state my mind was in, it was obvious I had calmed down.
So, I took the next step and said clearly.
"System"
There were no changes to the system. So I tried it another way.
"Close" as soon as that word fell out of my mouth, or I thought that, the status panel that had been floating in front of me suddenly closed.
Now, everything was back to normal again.
My heart skipped a beat.
'What if it disappeared forever? Will I have lost this opportunity?'
These were the subconscious instantaneous thoughts of mine. But thinking logically, since I knew I could close it, and that so can I open it back again, my heart soon returned to its normal state.
Then, I said out a word - "System"
The hidden system once again also appeared, with the same options as before.

'Phew'
'Now, I have grasped how to close and also how to open it. That's good.'
'However, will it work only work if I said it, or will it also work if I thought about it?' I carried my thoughts to reality and thought about it.
'Close' the panel closed.
'Well, that's good then'
It meant that I could command this system from my mind without telling out aloud in front of the crowd.
So then, will other people be able to see this? This was my next thought.
'System'
As I thought about that, I brought my phone before myself and took a picture where the system had appeared.
Not so surprisingly, it wasn't seen in the camera. If it wasn't seen in the camera, it was also likely it wouldn't be seen by other people. But he wasn't sure on this one. He has to try it out later.
'System help'
Nothing surfaced.
After that, I tried a few more but they still didn't give any results. So it meant that I had to explore the functions of the system without its help. Well not that the commands are complicated.
After all, I could see four options on the system and I could more or less what their uses were.
[Infinity Sealing System] as the first option, I obviously picked this one first.
So I stretched out my hand and clicked on it. However, once again, nothing surfaced.
'Was it because the method I approached it was wrong or was this option already unable to be interacted with?'
There were questions in my mind but I still stayed calm because I had expected this result.
So I tried again, with another approach.
'Infinity Sealing System' it also didn't get any result.
'Open Infinity Sealing System' no result.
Well, that was the end of my methods on this 'option'. It was disappointing but not like I didn't expect it to wield any results either.
So I raised my finger and touched the [Seals] option. Fortunately, it worked.

....
So after one hour of exploring just like that, I was familiar with this system.
These were the conclusions I reached.
First, this system was only viewable by myself. Well, this still has to be tested out.
Second, the system could open by two methods. By saying it aloud or thinking it in my mind.
Third, he could interact with the system by touching it or thinking about it. When thinking about it, I could only open it if the intended purpose of the thought is the system.
It meant that it will only open if I think [Seals], intending to open the [Seals] option of the system. It won't open if I'm just reading a book and thinks or talks about it without intending to open it at all.
Fourth and last, the system wasn't intelligent. Or it didn't say anything at all. It was just like a programmed system, only having these options and nothing other than it.
That was it for today. However, I was still fascinated by it so I decided to open it again.
'System'
The system opened. However, there was a catch.
You thought it was System, but it was I, DIO!
