Chereads / Rising Star Of Darkness / Chapter 7 - 《SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS》

Chapter 7 - 《SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS》

*Phew*

"Finally done," said Daichi stretching out his arms and cracking his fingers.

He was exhausted after using his brain all this time without rest, constantly thinking about the best choice to make and how things were going to turn out.

'Only one left to go,' he said to himself before resuming.

"SYSTEM CONFIGURATION"

 

1- [TYPE - BASE]

 

2- [STRUCTURE - FONDATION]

 

3- [OPERATIVE SYSTEM - CORE]

 

4- [FORM - MANIFESTATION]

 

5- [MODE - ACTIVATION]

 

6- [MAIN FONCTION - FEATURES]

 

7- [SCALE - LIMITATIONS]

'Haah, another seven,' he thought, annoyed, 'It's getting tiring.'

He didn't want to deal with it anymore.

All he was thinking about was how to quickly finish this program and see what else it has to offer.

Same as for the selection, the first few options looked like the common of power one could see in countless stories, games, and shows regardless of the genre they belong to.

 

Among the list, Daichi saw one which immediately got his attention.

 

'Hum, this …is it the same thing they were talking about?' Daichi pondered.

 

Even since that , he has been wondering what it was referring to, and seeing the same words there made him think,

 

'If I select this option, would I be able to gain access to other features and functionalities later on?'

 

'Let's find out' he said.

For this option, Daichi chose like in the setting even though he didn't know how it would work.

3- [OPERATIVE SYSTEM - CORE]

Although Daichi was a fan of retro, he didn't go for nether .

 

Taking the interface he was interacting with as a reference; he selected the most probable option to fit that criterion.

4- [FORM - MANIFESTATION]

Looking at the selection list, Daichi thought, 'If it has to be a system, it should definitively have holographic manifestation for better immersion.'

 

He could already picture the window panel floating in front of his eyes, the various interfaces and fancy designs like system novels, comics, and virtual reality games he was used to seeing everywhere now.

 

Which is why, he chose the option

5- [MODE - ACTIVATION]

After careful analysis, Daichi deduced that seemed to be restraining and too vague and arbitrary.

 

As such, he was thinking about selecting either or .

 

Between the two, the one that could likely offer both support and freedom according to him was .

 

It sounded the same as the terms usually employed in various AI technologies and programs he saw on the internet.

6- [MAIN FONCTION - FEATURES]

*******

 

This section contains the longest list he has seen so far.

 

It was so much that he could scroll indefinitely without reaching the end of it.

 

Facing such a huge range of choices, Daichi became perplexed.

 

'What is the best option to choose? Should I go for something simple and effective or should I select a more diverse ?'

 

He kept thinking over and over again and as he became more desperate, he saw one particular option that could solve the problem.

 

'That's it! !' he exclaimed.

 

If the

and were specially tailored for him, he wouldn't have to worry about what to choose anymore since it would automatically be personalized to fit his needs. 

 

Also, it was the perfect combination with the he previously selected.

 

A true system that could assist him whenever and wherever needed.

 

With hype and excitement, Daichi hit the button, expecting great results.

7- [SCALE - LIMITATIONS]

 

 

 

 

 

 

<...>

 

 

 

******

 

For the last section, Daichi was going to select the largest scale available but to his surprise, it was impossible.

 

*BEEP BEEP*

"ERROR ! "

 

[Authority level insufficient!

 

You cannot select this option.]

 

> Cancel

"Tsk, again?'

 

Daichi twisted his tongue, frowning over the message.

 

However, he was not done yet.

 

He went back and chose the second largest.

 

*BEEP BEEP*

 

'Again?!' Daichi cursed.

 

The same message appeared once more, meaning he had to remake his choice.

 

One last time, he tried to select the closest one before the last locked option.

 

 *Tap*

> Universal

 

*******

 

At last, it worked.

 

He was disappointed and frustrated by the fact that he had to make a compromise not only once nor twice but trine! 

 

*Sigh*

 

'At least I'm done with this,' he thought, breathing out and relaxing his body.

 

After sitting there for a long time, his entire body was getting stiff, especially with all the mental ordeals he was going through.

 

After a little pause, he quickly saved the data and went back to the

5- [QUIT]

Now that Daichi has completed all the necessary settings, it was time to the program.

'At last, I can see what it looks like,' he signed.

But, seeing how his eyes were glued to the screen and how bright his face looked, one could tell he was happy and excited to begin.
