Edmund, true to his nature as a curious and methodical archaeologist, embarked on an introspective journey, analyzing the recent events that had unfolded in his life. From his expedition into the ruins to the transformative process of awakening cosmic energy with Noah, he sought to unravel the intricacies and understand the underlying mechanisms at play.
Drawing upon his trust in the scientific method, he meticulously examined the patterns and observed the behavior of Noah, the being with whom he had formed a profound symbiotic bond. Edmund discerned that Noah, while possessing intelligence, still exhibited the naivety and impulsiveness of a child. It lacked a sense of measurement and performed actions haphazardly, driven by emotion and rough estimations.
However, Edmund realized that he could no longer view himself through the lens of a mere human. His newfound connection to cosmic energy and his evolving nature required a different approach—one that would allow him to comprehend and quantify his own abilities and understand Noah on a deeper level.
As his thoughts swirled with these revelations, a subtle shift occurred within Noah. The connection between them transformed, taking on a different form. Suddenly, Edmund felt a prickling sensation in his mind, followed by an overwhelming surge of energy. His consciousness was abruptly transported to a mysterious location, unlike anything he had ever experienced before.
In this ethereal space, Edmund's gaze swept across the surroundings, his eyes widening in astonishment. Words, floating in the air like holographic displays, began to materialize before him. The words formed a comprehensive list, akin to the character attributes and statistics seen in a role-playing video game. It was a system dashboard, quantifying his own stats and characteristics.
The system dashboard created by Noah was an intricate interface that seamlessly merged with Edmund's consciousness, offering a wealth of information and functionalities to aid him in his transcendent journey. The main interface presented a series of tabs, each representing a distinct aspect of Edmund's existence and progress. As he interacted with the tabs, a cascade of information and insights unfolded before him.

A mix of astonishment and understanding washed over Edmund as he realized that Noah, in its own peculiar way, had granted his unspoken wish. By creating this system dashboard, Noah had provided him with a methodical means to comprehend and evaluate his own capabilities. It was an unexpected manifestation of Noah's desire to assist and communicate with Edmund.
Through this unique system, Edmund could now delve deeper into his own potential and unravel the mysteries of his transformed existence. Noah conveyed to Edmund that it had expended a significant amount of energy in creating the system, leaving it weakened and in need of rest. In its absence, the system would aid and guide Edmund, providing insights and understanding during Noah's recovery. One that would go on for a long long time, as Edmund had no idea that Noah had used something that it dared not use even on the brink of death. A special privilege granted by the universe to its child, the power over universal laws. Albeit powerfull, it was essentially a one time use coupon with severe drawbacks. Something so precious, the entire universe might descend into chaos just to get a whiff of the universal laws but here it was sacrificed in passing to create an aid of someone who was blissfully ignorant.
As Edmund's consciousness returned to his physical body, he found himself sitting on the ground, awestruck and stunned by the experience he just had. He couldn't believe what he had just witnessed and the sheer magnitude of what Noah had done. The words, the stats, the floating letters - it was like something out of a science fiction movie.
Edmund was fascinated by the way Noah had created a dashboard that not only quantified his abilities but also provided insight into his own nature. The analytical part of Edmund's mind was immediately intrigued and he started to explore the system, scrolling through the different stats and characteristics listed in front of him.
