After back at home, David trying to process all the crazy stuff that just went down. In his cramped and dimly lit room, he sat on the edge of his bed, staring at his hands that now felt alien. The silent night gave him space to think, but his mind was trapped in a suffocating mess. Curiosity mixed with fear crept over him, like being on the brink of something massive and uncontrollable.

That cold, emotionless voice echoed in his mind again, like a machine waiting for orders. David took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, trying to contain himself. The voice, so sharp and vivid in his mind, made him feel like he possessed something extraordinary, yet terrifying. His desire to test this power grew stronger, like an unstoppable primal urge.
But that feeling quickly turned to blazing anger. Today, at the office, he couldn't stand his female client's constant complaints anymore. Every unclear request, every complaint that came without a logical reason, made David feel more trapped in an endless routine. For weeks now, he had been hearing the same words, over and over, with no adequate solution in sight.
"Why is nothing ever satisfactory?" the client complained again, her voice rising on the phone.
David closed his eyes, trying to calm himself, but the frustration was almost unbearable. If before he could only swallow those complaints without resistance, today, with the newfound power flowing through his body, he felt the urge to do something different.
He stared at his phone screen, reading the message that just came in from that female client: "Why is the photo quality for this catalog so terrible? It needs to be fixed!"
David slammed the phone onto the table in annoyance. How was he supposed to know if the photos had been fixed multiple times as per previous requests? What more did she want? Maybe she felt he was just a tool to fulfill these endless demands. It felt like being trapped in an endless loop.

The system's voice filled his mind again. This time, David didn't feel afraid. Instead, he felt stronger. The desire to test this new ability flowed so fiercely. He knew what he had to do.

The next morning, David woke up with an unusual sense of excitement. That morning, he felt full of energy, as if the world was now in his hands. The office atmosphere felt different—it's like something changed within him. As he started his work, everything felt easier to control. Every move of his body, every heartbeat, even his steps felt more steady, more confident.
That morning, his female client contacted him again. With an impatient tone, she began her usual complaints, listing what she considered a fatal flaw in the newly sent catalog design. David sighed, holding back the anger that was starting to take over him.
"This can't be left like this!" the woman said in a high tone.
David closed his eyes for a moment, feeling the tension within him, then took a deep breath. This time, he didn't just listen to her words. He imagined something much bigger—that he could control this situation in a way he had never tried before.
