Chapter 3 - Am I overpowered?

Staring at the translucent blue screen and reading my status I became confused, as the numbers struck me as oddly high. There was some parts of the system hidden as well, and the ranking made no sense to me.

'Hey system? Will you explain the locked parts to me? as well as this ranking system too? And what's with my status and classes? Is this all normal in this world?'

[The abilities tab remains locked due to the unique quality of your songstress ability. You do not require the system to utilize any of your abilities, unlike other races utilizing the system. Your system is unique, however we will keep track of all the abilities you create if you so desire. As for the ranks, it is as follows:

Rank X

Rank SSS

Rank SS

Rank S

Rank AAA

Rank AA

Rank A

Rank B

Rank C

Rank D

Rank X is the highest possible rank without ascending to full godhood, while rank D is the lowest. Only demi-gods and above are able to have more than 2 classes, however exceptions do exist. Your overall stat points are approximately 10x greater than the average beast kin. You are one of the most powerful beings on the mortal level, and as a demi-god you are immortal, however you can still be killed if not careful.]

'Wow, so am I overpowered then? Way to give me a heck of a start system'

[You were transported to this world with those stats and classes, your system played no part other than to quantify them into a readable format befitting this world. You are indeed overpowered for your level].

'Hmm you know it just occured to me that its rather sad to just call you system since you named me. Is there a proper name I can call you?'

[The system has no name].

With glittering eyes I asked excitedly 'then, can I give you a name like you did for me?'

[You may].

I thought hard about what i know of the systems personality in the short time I've had it. It tries to be without emotion and somewhat robotic, and yet it seems to actually have some human like qualities. It feels like an androgynous name would suit it well. Hmm something cemented in reality almost that is cold like its robotic persona tries to convey.

'Then how about Yuki? Your important and try to be cold, and yet without you certain places are doomed to fail'.

[Name registered ... unlocking personality. Unlock complete].

'Say Yuki, I've been talking to you in my head this whole time, but wouldn't speaking out loud be more convenient?'

[That is not advisable. Your very voice has powerful magic within it. Unless you wish to change the world around you a light hum is all you can do without affecting the world around you. However as a songstress you are able to direct your magic to preform specific task. Speaking out loud will also direct your voice, but singing will produce the most powerful results. You are only able to use up to AAA grade magic without your voice. Silence will be your greatest ally if your goal is nonlethal.]

'Hmm, well okay then, but can't I just sing a song without directing lethal intent? Like if I were to sing a healing song I don't see how that would hurt anyone' I stated with a confused expression.

[...]

'Wait you never thought of that did you?' my face expressed a look of amusement at being able to give a being like Yuki pause.

[Do you wish to send the question to the gods for your answer?]

My face was one of friendly mischief as I poked fun at Yuki 'hey your not trying to push the problem onto someone else are you?' my hands rose to my shoulders as I danced in circles. 'And here i thought you were supposed to hold all the answers' I giggled.

[The devil of mischief laughs at your antics. The god of magic replies " every type of magic has an intent within it. All spells must be visualized to be able to cast them at all, That is a hard and fast rule of the world. While you already break many of said rules your songs should follow your intent. Nonlethal songs, should ultimately have nonlethal results. The same is true of your magic."

The goddess of death and souls adds "I sense your soul very noble and kind. Worry not we will always be here to guide you should you ever need it."

End of communication.]

my smile is gentle as I respond 'They're very kind, but Yuki you still pushed the responsibility of answering to someone else. Now now that was quite the choice there now wasn't it?'

[...]

'Silent treatment I see. Fufufu' I giggle mischievously with my fingers in front of my mouth. 'I can already tell that this new world will be truly fun'.
