Chereads / AWAKENING OF THE DIVINE RULER / Chapter 21 - Is it Alive?

Chapter 21 - Is it Alive?

After that episode, Vanya attended to her classes for the day afterwards, she left for home. Although she was exhausted from the activities of today, she was very curious to know why there was a game like system programmed into her. She would have loved to use the term fictional, but that would have been weird after all from what Sernon said, this world and universe as a whole, was like it came suddenly out of a comic book.

Fortunately, there were no hitches, hiccups nor strange encounters on her way back home. She felt that was strange after all, she did sort of offend those goons so, she was expecting to encounter some troubles on her way back home. But, since there wasn't any thing of that sort, only her usual banter with the college freshman she was tasked to tutor by his mother who pays her rather handsomely, she felt that it was a waste that she didn't get a chance to check out her increase in physical strength and maybe some other aspects that seemed to have been improved. Although, she did notice that her memory which was almost photographic before, seemed to have now turned fully photographic! When she got home, she met Sernon who seemed to have just taken a shower. Fortunately, he wasn't putting on only a towel but a bathrobe but, alas, Vanya who was only a somewhat sheltered, barely sixteen years old teenager didn't even think of checking out his abs!! She definitely lived up to her dorky identity. Sigh, what a waste. Sernon must have had some thoughts along those lines because his expression seemed off but could he blame her? She only had thoughts on how to get answers to her questions and maybe find out if her memory had actually become photographic or if there maybe was a higher level of intelligence for divine beings.

"You're back?" Sernon asked. "No, I'm on my way" Vanya responded sarcastically with a smile,"right..." responded Sernon. "I have some questions for you. I'd start with: what was the gift you claim my father gave you that should be given to me?" Vanya started, "oh, that! If you can still remember when I told you that I had done my research on this world and I found out a lot of things. And one of these things are Video Games specifically, systems. So, I told your father about it and he decided to gift you something that would make your cultivation journey relatively easy and I would say fun!" Sernon tried to respond to her question as thoroughly as he could, "but, I kind of feel like this system is alive. Like it's not just a programmed set of commands and instructions give to a device but rather, this thing seems to have live" Vanya tried to probe. Sernon was internally shaken because she wasn't really far from the answer, ' I can't let her continue to have these thoughts. I need to eliminate them. For now' he thought.
