' It's getting dark outside and that bear is not back yet. It's not like I want to see it or anything, but the system did say it brought me hear and was somewhat sentient. Am I supposed to thank it? How the heck am going to do that? I don't speak bear. '
''Haaaa'' came the sigh from Mika as he moved around the cold cave.
'As at now the only things keeping him from freezing in this cold but for now safe ( if the bear did not see him as emergency food) was the mecha suit on him (which somehow survived the travel in one piece) , his own high body heat thanks to his rank and some support from the system.
Talk of the system, it seems to need energy right now but can't scan for a source of it on it's own right now. It wants 'me' to look for it. but how, do you expect me who is new here to do that? It's not like I can ask the 🐻 about it. '
At this point Mika was close to having a headache and no solutions.
He looked at the silver mark now worn on his dark skin, it looked beautiful.
The mark on the back of his left hand was made after he became one with the system earlier in the day. He hadn't really had a closer look at it just yet.
Mika passed his right hand over the silver mark (tattoo) on the back of his left, a violet water curtain like screen appeared before him.
The Ancestral system that was now fully bonded with him showed it's level 0 interface with his information on it.
It had some of the information he knew he needed and also some he didn't know the purpose of as of now.
The interface had a few buttons with name tags beside them showing there function or at least that's what it looked like .
It said level 0 at the top of the interface followed by 7 buttons with tags.
1: Host personal info (basic)
2: Healthcare / Madical assistance ( basic )
3: Geographic / Hydrological and Mineral guide ( basic)
4: Construction / Forging and Analysis guide / assistance ( basic)
5: Navigation / Surveying and Maps guide ( basic )
6: Household Crafts and Industrial guide /assistance ( basic)
7: System interaction port ( basic)
Mika looked at the minimalistic interface with a little disappointment. He thought there would be more... more something, he wasn't quite sure.
Mahlia noticed his mood and hopped out to uplift him.
" I know it looks too basic, but that's because each button is like a door to room with only things under said button. An example is the info button, why don't you click on it and see. "
She said, urging him explore the workings of the level 0 interface.
Mika clicked on it and the interface shifted from the main to another which displayed his currently considered basic information.
LEVEL 0
NAME: Mikael De Montague
RACE: Human
AGE: 22
P. GENDER: Male
S. GENDER : Ger ( Sub-female )
RANK: SSS+
Mika looked at the short info in disbelief. Why was it so short and why why is his gender divided into two?
He was about to ask the system for an explanation when he felt like he was not alone anymore causing him to turn around and move into a defensive pose.
'How in the world was something so big able to move so quietly' Mika thought as he looked at the giant bear Infront of him.
It also seemed to be looking at or is it studying his pose? His stance must look strange, amusing and incredibly dumb to it since it looked like a paw from it could flatten him.
The bear after a while of back and forth starring contest seemed to have somehow understood his stance and backed up a bit.
When it saw Mika had clamed down, it threw a leg of meat at his feet.
Mika had not expected it to toss something at him and there was startled badly. He triped and being already closed to wall of the cave, had his back slam into it.
He was sliding to the floor but got his hand on a rock in the wall which stabilized him.
Mika turned his head and glared at bear. He could swear he saw laughter in it's eyes.
Before he could shout out all the curse words he could remember the system sent him a prompt.
" Power source found. Host must obtain and transfer it as soon as possible. Now would be great actually." Mahlia said joyfully, completely ignoring the fuming host.
Mika gave the bear which was walking towards him a glear and asked the annoying interrupting system.
" Where is it? " he asked using the rock he held in his hand to lift himself from the awkward position he was in.
" You are holding it host."
