Everything up until now was just a tutorial?!? Are you kidding me, System? William could barely hold back his anger.
-It's just a joke, I didn't mean it~
William was still adjusting to his new strength and the environment, but he suddenly realized that he could better sense the System's emotions. He could clearly sense hints of mischievous delight mixed with happiness, telling him that the System truly did mean what it said as a joke.
Not only this, but William noticed that the occasional vocal cues from the System were more pronounced, no longer sounding robotic and inhumane. He wondered if his Ascension had provided some sort of hidden benefit to the System, or if it was his own improvements that changed the way he viewed the World and those around him.
Perhaps it was a bit of both.
