I sincerely apologize for the long pause, but due to mental, familial, and school problems I was unable to write any chapter, after all this time I more or less should be able to write chapters with the same schedule as before, so no worries.

I release a deep sigh while removing my training equipment and heading back to the first floor.
It has been a week sI meeting with the Observer, most of my skills have reached a level above fifty, and I gained some new interesting skills thanks to Void Studying, which currently is at level 10, now I can stay inside the void for 5 seconds without the risk of dying.
Now that I also had free time, money, and a way to obtain materials, I could create any type of weapon, armor, or trinkets that passed through my mind, thanks to Alchemy and the use of the new dungeon, which gave little exp, but tons of materials, called Crafter's Dream, I was also able to gain monsters materials to use for potions creation.
While all of this was happening I rarely removed my training equipment causing my Str, Vit, Dex, and End to almost reach 500, Agi was almost reaching 200, and thanks to my constant studying my Int and Wis were also reaching 500.
My Per was also slowly rising, training it by doing things without sense, thanks to my perk Keen senses, I was yes able to sharpen my sense, but also numbers to the point of almost making me blind, deaf, tasteless, and not being able to smell, the only thing I couldn't remove is my sense of touch.
The missing points were so few that I was tempted to use my status points, but I was stopped from thinking further on the matter when a knock came out my door.
My mind went overdrive, that was the first time someone was able to reach this far in my protected area without me being notified, so they either were able to mask themself from my machines, or they simply teleported right in front of my door.
Either way, it wouldn't make me find myself unprepared.
' They know my house, they were able to see it even through the notice me not charm, so they know who this house belongs to, and they are searching for me.'
Using the cameras connected to my brain I saw the person on the other side of the door and saw a redhead almost reaching for a third knock.
Yes, all those thoughts and checks were done in less than 3 seconds, with each point in Int, my perks, and skills, I was able to think to the levels of quantum computers, and with the level up of my skills, my technologies become as fast as me.
The third knock never arrived since the door opened and Jean was pushed inside the house, the door closing behind her and being covered in blue energy.
Right in front of her, stood a 1.93 meters tall muscular man, with dark hair and deep dark eyes, what looks like a small unkempt beard on his face, the clothes doing almost nothing to cover my bulging muscles, after several studies I discovered that instead of a swimming body type, the gamer system pointed more towards an Apex Fighter type of body, even if covered in muscles, I didn't lose in speed and flexibility, my body simply broke all type of human logics.
I stared at her face, or more like at her soul, which strangely is fused with another light structure with the shape of a phoenix.
" What do you want?" I said while taking out both a chair to sit on and what looks like a Megaminx cube.
" I-"
" Because I was quite sure that the next time I met you it would mean that you were truly an idiot that simply wanted to die," I said while using my now level 78 Intimidation to scare her, poor monsters used to farm it.
Her face contracted for less than a second, a detail that I didn't lose, but before she could speak again a flame came out of her back, shaped like a phoenix, and a shooting female voice came out of it.
--------------------------
Gamer's Mind stopped Body Control, Mind reading, Emotion reading, Soul reading, and Intention reading.
--------------------------
" Dear Jack I-" The phoenix started speaking but I had another idea in mind.
I take out one of my new inventions.
At a blinding speed, it easily detached its legs from Jean, which surprisingly started growing back by themself.
The blade returns back to my side, while a scream comes out of Jean's mouth, I like to call it Multiplus( suggest another name if you wish), a blade able to multiply by itself using my now near limitless source of Vibranium, thanks to a now less scary dimension, and thanks to my now able to make weapons vibrate at speed invisible to eyes, it can easily cute vibrant as it was butter, plus my now level 89 Telekinesis, and it becomes quite a scary weapon.
Jean falls to the ground, an exact copy of the sword impaling her stomach and blocking her against the wall.
" You not only come here, but you also bring a bitch who tries to control my body? I don't know if you are plain demented or the biggest living idiot." I said while mentally activating the heating effect of the weapon, not letting even a drop of her blood dirty my floor, her legs you might ask? They are flying, same goes for the blood that had touched the ground, Telekinesis can be quite useful if used well.
" I am sorry for my previous act, I just needed to be sure you were the real one." The phoenix said, not even the shadow of worry in her voice, so she doesn't care about Jean, which means they aren't really connected but more like a parasite living in a body but the parasite can switch bodies wherever it wishes.
" Well Thing, I do not welcome mind intrusions, I am sure you know this from Jean, so unless you have good reason to be here, I am more than happy to kill Jean and maybe remove you from in front of me," I said with a smile on my face while gaining another level in Intimidation, how I gained it? The text said I have the balls to try and intimidate a Universal level of being, neat.
" As much as a nuisance it would be to lose Jean, I wouldn't die from her disappearance-" Her words seemed to surprise Jean, but she didn't talk.
Was she lied to? This way she would work with this being and not think of it like a parasite.
" I am here for two reasons, first, Jean needs your help, second, I wanted to meet the being who is protected by The One Above All."
Is it the creator of the Gamer System?
--------------------------
Don't compare me to that weak-ass God, I earned my place.
-Creator
--------------------------
That means no.
" So she needs my help, and you wanted to see me? Just need, it doesn't seem like a good reason, after all, you emotionally damaged me? How am I going to feel safe after such a terrific situation?" I asked with a straight face.
Another level in Taunt, level 67.
" What do you want?"
" What can you offer? And before you say anything, the rewards must be for both the help and the emotional damage."
" I can offer you my powers."
" Don't need and want them, I have reached, strived, and Survived as Loner until now, do you seriously think I'd need something as stupid as powers that you could use to control me?"
"... What do you want?"
" Protection and other things which will be decided later."
" Protection?"
" You might be the first one, but I am sure you won't be the last to find a way to track me down, and from what I understood you must a being capable enough to contend against an annoying being that I can't currently defeat, currently is the key word, so until I am not able to defend against them, you become my guardian Dog, easy right?"
" I AM-" Her words were covered by a scream coming from Jean, now three more words were piercing her hands, and a sword was slowly heading towards her vagina.
"... I am ok with all the conditions, but in exchange, you will have to answer some of my questions."
" You think you are in the condition to ask something?"
She didn't speak, the only sound in the area being Jean crying due to pain, and scared of the incoming blade.
" Can I at least ask them?"
" I am not sure I will answer."
"... Ok."
Just as those words came out all the swords fused back in one, and a red liquid fell on top of Jean's head, causing all the pain to disappear and all the injuries an missing parts to grow back in a few seconds.
" So? What can I help you with?" I asked while looking at Jean, seems like she finally understood I am a good person.
