Ria felt a shockwave of emotions.
She couldn't believe what he had just told her.
He had just told her the truth behind the being.
A truth that was more incredible, unbelievable, and awesome than any fiction she had ever read.
A truth that involved gods, creators, lovers, and friends.
A truth that involved him, her, and it.
A truth that involved a choice.
A choice that he wanted her to make.
She said.
"Wow. Just wow. I don't even know what to say."
Leon smiled and said.
"I know. It's a lot to take in. But it's all true. Every word of it."
He said.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner. I wanted to, but I couldn't. It was too risky. Too dangerous. Too complicated."
He said.
"But now I can. Now I have to. Now I want to."
He said.
"Because I trust you. Because I care about you. Because I love you."
He said.
"And because I need you. Because we need you. Because it needs you."
Ria felt a surge of emotions.
She felt touched by his trust, care, and love.
She felt curious about his need, their need, and its need.
She felt confused by his truth, his being, and his friend.
She asked.
"What is it? The being? The mind? The friend?"
Leon nodded and said.
"Yes, it is all of those things. And more."
He said.
"It is a god. A god of the system, the galaxy, and the universe. A god of everything."
He said.
"It is a creator. A creator who can create anything with its power and imagination. A creator who can destroy anything with its will and whim. A creator who can change anything with its knowledge and curiosity."
He said.
"It is a lover. A lover who can love anyone with its heart and soul. A lover who can make anyone happy with its gifts and surprises. A lover who can make anyone special with its attention and affection."
He said.
"It is the one who gave me the chapters. The chapters that allowed me to travel to different worlds based on genres of novels. The chapters that gave me missions, rewards, and surprises."
He said.
"It is the one who tested me, played with me, and surprised me. It is the one who challenged me, rewarded me, and changed me. It is the one who prepared me, guided me, and chose me."
He said.
"It is the one who did this for one reason. To find the one. The one who could complete all the chapters. The one who could unlock all the functions. The one who could control the system."
He said.
"It is the one who was looking for someone who could master it. Someone who could use it, understand it, and improve it. Someone who could create, destroy, and change with it."
He said.
"It is the one who was looking for someone like me."
Ria asked.
"And did you master it? Did you control it?"
Leon nodded and said.
"Yes, I did. I mastered it. I controlled it."
He explained.
"I managed to complete all the chapters, unlock all the functions, and control the system. I managed to use it, understand it, and improve it. I managed to create, destroy, and change with it."
He explained.
"But it wasn't easy. It was hard. It was amazing
